Magnolia Award: "County Party Committee Compound" is the best why is the audience not convinced? Why didn't "Crazy" get anything?

Regarding the winning actors and works of this (28th) Magnolia Awards, several controversial points, Dewdrop will talk about her own opinion.

1. The four major actor awards that everyone pays the most attention to, the best actor and actress, the best supporting actor and actress awards belong, Lei Jiayin, Wu Yue, Ding Yongdai, Liu Dan four awards, I think except for Wu Yue, the other three are well deserved.

However, for the Best Supporting Actor Award, in fact, I personally prefer Wang Jingchun in "Police Honor" to win.

When I chased "Police Honor", the main thing was to chase the drama for Wang Jingchun, he played the director of the Balihe Police Station is too good, completely natural, in terms of acting skills, I think I have to be a step higher than Ding Yongdai.

Moreover, I have no problem with giving Wang Jingchun a leading actor award.

Because although the cast list of "Police Honor" indicates that Zhang Ruoyun is the male number one, in fact, you know after watching the drama, whether it is from the number and importance of the scene, as well as the actor's acting performance, Wang Jingchun killed Zhang Ruoyun in seconds (of course, this is not to disparage Zhang Ruoyun, after all, he is much younger and has time and space to improve. Wang Jingchun is the actor who acts in a TV series), "Director Wang", the soul of the play, proper!

Regarding Wu Yue winning the best actress, everyone's controversy is not actually Wu Yue's own acting skills. Among the actresses of the middle generation, Wu Yue acts seriously and steadfastly, there are no gossip moths, she belongs to the actor that everyone loves, and her acting skills should also be awarded.

But the controversial point of this award is that "County Party Committee Compound" as a group portrait drama, Wu Yue as the female number one, the role is not too much, and it is not particularly outstanding, why can it win the best actress?

Moreover, the fact that "County Committee Compound" won the best TV series is itself a controversial topic.

When "County Party Committee Compound" was broadcast, I chased the drama throughout the process, and I liked the actors in it, especially the performances of the supporting actors, very much, this drama has its advantages, but the biggest disadvantage is that it lacks some real and powerful presentation of reality, and lacks the portrayal and description of real contradictions and conflicts.

For example, in the play, Wang Xiao played by Qiao Shengli, the secretary of the party committee of Chengguan Town, Wang Xiao's performance is no problem, and he has been praised by many people, but the question is: Will the secretary of Chengguan Town in reality really be as aggrieved, tired and angry as Qiao Shengli in the play?

In reality, a village branch secretary doesn't know how nourishing it is! This is something that everyone knows, so they feel that there are false elements in the plot and characters.

2. As a local actor in Shanghai, and the Magnolia Award is an award held in Shanghai, did the jury have any psychology or behavior in favor of "Shanghai" actors in the award process?

Some people commented that Yin Tao and Zhao Liying are unfortunately not Shanghai daughters-in-law, so...

But Yin Tao has long been the queen of Magnolia. In 2017, Yin Tao successfully won the 23rd Magnolia Award for Best Actress with the role of Luo Yuzhu in "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky".

In this magnolia, "The World" starring Yin Tao is also very good, but it may also be because Yin Tao has already been considered by Magnolia, and the jury did not consider Yin Tao.

3, Zhao Liying, nominated for Magnolia three times, the audience (fans) won a lot of demand, but this time still failed in their wishes.

Many of Zhao Liying's fans are complaining about Zhao Liying. But to tell you the truth, Zhao Liying's acting skills in "Wind Blows Half Summer" still have a lot of room for improvement.

When I first watched "The Wind Blows Half Summer", I wrote a drama review, Zhao Liying's acting skills have improved a lot compared to the past, but her portrayal of the strong woman Xu Banxia is still superficial, and the idol flavor is very strong.

Although the drama "Wind Blows Half Summer" has won the love of many people, the play dissolves the sharpness and pain of the reality of the original work, and presents the story as a cool drama of the era with the color of the big heroine and the meaning of idol, in fact, it is not a particularly high-quality work.

In terms of the true portrayal and depiction of reality and human nature, "The Wind Blows Half Summer" and "The Courtyard of the County Party Committee" are half a pound and eight taels, and no one can say who is "false".

So, I think the judges may have given a slight tilt to the city of Shanghai when judging the awards, but not much.

4. Judging from the list of winners, the main theme works account for the vast majority.

This will be the focus of Chinese TV drama creation now and in the future, and it will also be the focus of major awards.

Magnolia Award, Feitian Award, Golden Eagle Award three major TV awards, in the past, the Feitian Award paid more attention to the main theme works, but now you see, in fact, the three major awards are tilted towards the main theme works.

From the current traffic stars, they have given up the idol drama market, would rather not make money, but also to shoot the main theme drama, you can know that the main theme drama will be the current and future creation and award-winning mainstream.

Therefore, although "County Party Committee Compound" was criticized by the general audience for being "not grounded enough", it was still able to win awards.

Therefore, although "Crazy" is loved by the audience, Zhang Songwen, as the villain in the play, was not nominated (the jury said that the crew of "Crazy" did not declare to Zhang Songwen, why it was not declared, it may be because the director understands the basic rules and direction of the award).

And the hottest work "Crazy" in 2023, at this year's Magnolia Awards, the particles did not receive. But this does not prevent "Crazy" from becoming the favorite "best work" in the minds of many audiences.

Gao Qiqiang in "Crazy" is more loved by most audiences than An Xin (this point is also questioned by many viewers, why a black boss is portrayed so well and so humane), the negative No. 1 from popularity to brilliance to word of mouth, audience love, all overwhelm the positive male protagonist, from the broadcast of the show to now, this point is also controversial, which is also a problem that the director, crew and audience should think about together.

5. The direction and perspective of the creation of literary and artistic works are "looking up" and "looking down".

Those who look up, the jury (official) like, and those who look down, the common people like it.

Therefore, the TV series "The World", which integrates "upward" and "downward" perspectives, can be both officially welcomed and loved by the people.

Therefore, "The World" has become the biggest winner of this magnolia. It has won a total of 5 heavyweight awards for Best Screenplay (Adaptation), Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best TV Series.
