On the evening of April 14, the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards came to an end.
Among all the awards, the best actor is the most suspenseful before the award and the most controversial after the award, so the small details from the attribution of the award to the award are worth playing.
The five nominees for Best Actor are Lin Baoyi's "Under the White Sun", Lu Zhenye's "Young Diary", Tony Leung's "Goldfinger", Huang Zihua's "Poisonous Tongue", and Dapeng's "The Eighth Suspect".
Judging from the fan calls and public predictions before the awards, Dapeng is basically recognized as a runner, and there is little hope of winning the award. Dapeng does offer the best acting skills, on the one hand, Dapeng is only the starring actor and not the director, so he doesn't need to be distracted from other work, he can devote all his energy to character building, and his focus helps him shape the role impeccablely;
But after all, the Hong Kong Film Awards is the home of Hong Kong-made local films, and the performance standards of other nominations are not bad, so it is generally believed that it is unlikely that the award will be awarded to mainland actors.
Several other actors are quite competitive. But if you have to analyze the winning rate through multi-dimensional analysis, Lu Zhenye in "Youth Diary" is also a member of the running party, after all, he is young, and his performance in the movie is not very amazing.
The remaining three actors, on the contrary, Tony Leung is generally considered to be the least hopeful of winning the award, after all, he has won the actor five times before, even if he lines up to share the fruit, he should be distributed to others! And the quality of the film "Goldfinger" can only be said to be average, Tony Leung's performance in the movie is not amazing, he and Andy Lau have both handed over work, and they can't see hard work or feel distracted.
Therefore, fans pin more hopes on Lin Baoyi and Huang Zihua, among which Lin Baoyi is regarded as the seed player competing for the best actor, his performance in "Under the White Sun" can be described by the word perfect, accurately creating a new image of the villain, bad to the bone At the same time, he has his own value system, and the actor can show so much information to the audience through his performance is very powerful.
Huang Zihua is also very good, the scenery in front of "The Poisonous Tongue", the depression in the middle, and then the final rise, showing the layering of the character. However, most people should not have expected that in the end, the actor crown was still given to Tony Leung.
As mentioned above, the quality of "Goldfinger" itself is mediocre, and Tony Leung's performance in the movie is relatively average, not only dwarfed by several other nominated actors, but also a bigger gap than his previous five performances as the best actor, which is why the topic of "Lin Baoyi It's a pity" is on the hot search.
Whenever there is a controversy, when the award is announced, the subconscious expressions of several nominated actors are very interesting.
Let's take a look at the awards. The association arranged Louis Koo to present the award, which virtually gave Lin Baoyi more hope to win the award, because the script of "Under the White Sun" was supported by Louis Koo and the film was invested by Louis Koo, without him, there would be no movie, if Louis Koo awarded the actor to Lin Baoyi, what a perfect picture!
So at the award ceremony, Louis Koo was actually a little excited when he held the envelope, and he also admitted that he had expectations for Lin Baoyi to win the award. At this time, the camera was given to the five nominated actors, and he could feel that Dapeng's expression was relatively "simple", and he should also know that his hope of winning was very small, so with the attitude of "focusing on participation", he was the most relaxed of the five nominated actors.
Huang Zihua could clearly feel nervous and uneasy, judging from the expressions of the five people, he was the one who was most looking forward to this trophy, and even a little restless. Looking at Lu Zhenye again, he is the youngest and the least experienced among the five, and he always maintains the same smile, but the smile is very unnatural.
Looking at the seeded player Lin Baoyi, as an old actor who has worked hard for many years, Lin Baoyi is also used to seeing big scenes, so he can't see any emotional expression, and finally Tony Leung, his expression is even more indifferent, after all, he has won the actor five times, he has won the award softly, and he is not at the scene, through video connection, so Tony Leung is the most calm one.
Then, when the words "The winner is, Mr. Tony Leung", there was a subtle change in the expressions of the four people. The smile on everyone's face was almost gone, Dapeng pouted and applauded, Huang Zihua, who had been lowering his head and not daring to look up, had no smile on his face at all, and applauded with his head down, Lu Zhenye should have had no hope of winning the award, so he maintained his dignity to the greatest extent, raised his head and applauded with a smile, while Lin Baoyi, I didn't see him applauding from the camera, although he still kept smiling, he could clearly feel the regret and loneliness. At this moment, I have to admire Tony Leung, after he heard that he won the award, he was not surprised everywhere, and the expression on his face did not change at all, he is indeed used to seeing big scenes!
And after the awards ceremony, everyone's performance was also very interesting.
Dapeng, who should have known that there was not much hope, wrote "I have fulfilled a beautiful dream, and I will continue to work hard!" But the important details are hidden in the photo, he specially sent a close-up of his hand, and he wore a ring on the ring finger of his left hand, which should be hinting at his married status! You must know that Dapeng has been a mystery since the divorce to being photographed with his girlfriend in Sanya, and his feelings have always been a mystery.
In an interview backstage, Huang Zihua admitted that he hadn't made a film for 20 years six years ago, and he had filmed 4 films in the past 6 years, and he should be regarded as a "new actor", and the future is limitless, and then he turned around arrogantly. This can be regarded as self-comfort, Huang Zihua does not make a sequel, so "I Still Think You're the Best 2" did not participate, and I look forward to better new works in the future.
What's more interesting is that in addition to competing for awards on the field, there are also "foreign aid" outside the field. Many fans and critics have complained about Tony Leung's award this time, and think that it should be more appropriate for Lin Baoyi, but at present, only director Wang Jing dares to speak out in the industry. He directly bombarded Tony Leung, writing "Goldfinger is by no means Tony Leung's best performance, a bit excessive, colorimetric ring, 2046 is far from introverted, if I were him, I would follow Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung when they announced that they would no longer accept the award and give the opportunity to the younger generation." Dare to say this directly, Wang Jing is quite bold and not afraid of offending Tony Leung, Carina Lau and fans, although it is not very polite, but what he said is not unreasonable.
