The TV series "Wind Chaser" starring Wang Yibo ended, the drama was broadcast on CCTV 8 and iQiyi at the same time, according to the data given by Kuyun: "The Wind Chaser" is the runner-up in the peak ratings of all channel dramas in 2024, and the third place in the average rating of all channel dramas in 2024, and the first place in the average rating of all channel dramas for 18 consecutive days.
At the same time, the number of broadcasts of "Wind Chaser" on iQiyi is also very high, and the popularity of the whole network is very high. On April 12, 2024, the official Weibo of the "Shanghai TV Festival", the organizer of the Magnolia Awards, posted a post announcing some of the Magnolia Award applications, including "The Wind Chaser". There is no "Flowers" in these 15 works, but "Flowers" will definitely be registered. Because the Magnolia Award is held in Shanghai, and "Flowers" also tells the story of Shanghai.
Hu Ge, the male number one of "Flowers", is from Shanghai, in addition, there are many Shanghainese actors in "Flowers", such as Ma Yili, Tang Yan, Huang Ling, Zheng Kai, Chen Long, Wu Yue, Papi sauce, Fan Xiangyan, Wang Ju, Fan Zhiyi, Dai Jun, etc. Therefore, Hu Ge has basically decided on the Best Actor of this year's Magnolia Awards, as for the Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress, it may also come from "Flowers".
If Wang Yibo wants to win the Magnolia Award, he must defeat Hu Ge. As a result, fans suspected of Wang Yibo began to act, giving "The Wind Chaser" a good review on Douban and a bad review of "Flowers". While Wang Yibo's fans are suspected of belittling Hu Ge, they have to praise Wang Yibo. On the surface, this is the spontaneous behavior of ordinary viewers, and it has nothing to do with Wang Yibo, but in fact, insiders know that this is the most basic operation in the fan circle - to hit opponents and improve themselves.
The start date of "Flowers" is December 27, 2023, so is it a TV series in 2023 or a TV series in 2024? Who is the "No. 1 hit drama in 2024"? Wang Yibo and Hu Ge started an invisible battle with "The Wind Chaser" and "Flowers". Wang Yibo, a young and promising actor, showed his unique charm and maturing acting skills in "The Wind Chaser". The characters he plays are soulful and complex, allowing the audience to see more possibilities for him as an actor.
Hu Ge is a recognized acting school in the industry, and his performance in "Flowers" is still stable and outstanding, vividly interpreting the shrewdness and sophistication of a Shanghai man. Both actors have good performances in their respective episodes, but if you want to choose one of them with better acting skills, it is a matter of opinion. Wu Qinggong, a non-famous entertainment critic, pointed out: "Flowers" is out of the circle, but "The Wind Chaser" is not out of the circle.
"The Wind Chaser" tells the story of a group of young people pursuing self-worth and ideals and beliefs in the tide of history, with ups and downs in the plot, full of youthful blood and passion. "Flowers" is set in Shanghai, depicting the rise and fall of multiple families in the changing times, showing the complexity and contradictions of human nature in a prosperous society. "The Wind Chaser" pays more attention to the rendering of emotions and the shaping of characters, while "Flowers" delves into social phenomena and human issues while telling the story.
Whether an actor can win the honor of the emperor is affected by many factors in addition to their performance in the play and the audience's reputation, such as the judges' evaluation, the strength of competitors, etc. Hu Ge is playing at home in the Magnolia Awards, and the probability of him winning the Emperor is almost 100%. Even putting aside the "host" factor, Hu Ge's acting skills are stronger than Wang Yibo. If Wang Yibo won the Emperor of Vision at such a young age, and defeated a great god like Hu Ge, Wang Yibo would suffer infamy.
