The award-winning work is "The Two of Us", in which Jin Yaqin plays a kind old lady. seems to be a bland role, but in fact, it requires otherworldly acting skills to be perfectly interpreted.
The old lady in the film is mostly still, and she sits in a chair almost always throughout the play, showing her inner world only through dialogue and delicate facial expressions. For ordinary actors, the challenge is self-evident.
However, Jin Yaqin coped with it easily and without flaws. Her every look and every line vividly depicts the character's rich inner world. The audience seems to be able to gain insight into the joys and sorrows of a vivid elderly woman through her performance.

She is always able to control the degree of performance exquisitely, and keenly grasp the context of the character's emotional world and the rhythm and rhythm of the waves, so that the audience is like a warm spring breeze.
It is precisely because of such profound acting skills that Ms. Jin Yaqin, who is 91 years old, can still conquer all the judges and become the queen of the film.

In the long history of the Golden Rooster Award, Ms. Pan Hong has always been a bright and dazzling star. She has won the Actress Award three times, becoming the actor with the most awards so far, and is deeply loved by the audience, and is respected as the "king of actresses".

Looking back at Ms. Pan Hong's award-winning works, each one fully demonstrates her unique understanding and interpretation of the inner world of the character. This is a testament to the first award. In 1983, Ms. Pan Hong played the role of Lu Wenting in the movie "People to Middle Age".
In order to portray this troubled middle-aged female doctor more vividly and realistically, Ms. Pan Hong has made sufficient preparations. She travels to a foreign country to experience hospital life firsthand, follows doctors to the operating table, and delves into the script to figure out the inner monologues of the characters.
It is through such tempering that Ms. Pan Hong can deeply experience the ups and downs of Lu Wenting's inner contradictions, and present a touching and profound sense of truth on the screen.

Part 5: Analysis of how the high-profile Xi Meijuan perfectly controls the sense of proportion of the performance
In this year's Golden Rooster Award actress shortlist, the powerful actor Xi Meijuan is undoubtedly the most dazzling star. She can be called the "king" of China's performing arts industry, because her sense of proportion in each role has almost reached the pinnacle.
Looking back on Xi Meijuan's acting career, people will naturally think of her first work "Fake Girl True Love" starring her in 1987. This film led her career to glory, and at the same time, it also allowed the audience to witness the brilliant demeanor of a "rising acting star".
In the film, Xi Meijuan successfully portrayed the complex and multi-faceted role of Wang Yujuan, showing an extraordinary sense of proportion. Wang Yujuan needs to play a woman who pretends to be the daughter of an old man, which can not be too pretentious and show her feet, but also cannot lack a sense of reality and cause questions.
This kind of extremely difficult control can be described as extremely strict for actors, however, Xi Meijuan copes with skillful skills, every look and every action is just right, natural and smooth, making the audience applaud.
In the decades since, whether she has played an Alzheimer's patient in the TV series "Mom!" or challenged various roles, Xi Meijuan has always shown perfect control of her performance.
She has won unanimous praise from the audience and won many important awards in the field of performance, including the Hundred Flowers Award, Huabiao Award, Feitian Award, Golden Rooster Award and so on.
Today's Xi Meijuan has entered the ranks of the elderly, however, her subtle skills and control of character creation still maintain an impeccable high standard.
If she wins the Golden Rooster Award again this year, she will undoubtedly win warm applause and cheers from the audience, because this is the honor she deserves, and it is deserved, and there is no dispute!
