Recently, the 37th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award announced the preliminary list, however, in this high-profile list, the name of the well-known actor Shen Teng was unexpectedly absent, which undoubtedly caused an uproar among netizens.
Shen Teng, the name has now become synonymous with Chinese comedy films. With his unique humorous style and superb acting skills, he has won the love and recognition of countless audiences. However, he is such an actor with strong box office appeal, but on the stage of the Hundred Flowers Awards, he always seems to pass by the awards. Behind this phenomenon, there may be some hidden reasons that are worth pondering.
Looking back on the "bad fate" between Shen Teng and the Hundred Flowers Award, it is not difficult for us to find that the actor's encounter in the award selection was not all smooth sailing. In the previous Hundred Flowers Award selection, Shen Teng was nominated for Best Actor for "Me and My Fathers", but the final votes were 0, which sparked widespread discussion among netizens.
Although Shen Teng won the most popular award of the year at the subsequent awards ceremony, there is obviously a big gap between the gold content of this award and the best actor. Such a result undoubtedly made Shen Teng's fans and viewers feel sorry and dissatisfied.
So, why did Shen Teng encounter such an embarrassing situation in the selection of the Hundred Flowers Award? In my opinion, this may have something to do with the selection mechanism and criteria of the Hundred Flowers Award. As a popular film award, the selection results of the Hundred Flowers Award are often influenced by audience preferences and box office results.
In the selection process, whether the judges can really get rid of the interference of the box office and traffic, and objectively evaluate the performances of the actors from a purely artistic point of view, has always been a controversial issue.
In this Hundred Flowers Award selection, the three movies "Walking on the Moon Alone", "Man Jianghong" and "Flying Life 3" starring Shen Teng have all achieved good box office results. Among them, "Man Jianghong" and "Flying Life 2" were shortlisted for the preliminary list of best films.
However, surprisingly, despite Shen Teng's acclaimed performances in both films, he personally failed to make the shortlist for Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor. This result undoubtedly made netizens question the fairness of the selection of the Hundred Flowers Award.
Such skepticism is not unfounded. In the entertainment industry, actors often bear a lot of responsibility and pressure. When a movie does not do well at the box office, the actor often needs to bear the main responsibility, and even faces accusations and doubts from public opinion.
When the movie hits the box office and wins awards, actors are often excluded, and this asymmetry of power and responsibility is especially evident in Shen Teng. This phenomenon not only disappointed and dissatisfied Shen Teng's fans and audiences, but also had a negative impact on the ecological environment of the entire entertainment industry.
We cannot deny the professionalism and fairness of the Hundred Flowers Award in the selection process. After all, the selection of each award requires strict procedures and criteria.
As a popular film award, the Hundred Flowers Award should pay more attention to the audience's preferences and reputation, rather than just being limited to the judges' aesthetics and judging criteria. Only in this way can more outstanding actors and works be duly recognized and rewarded.
In response to Shen Teng's failure to be selected for the Hundred Flowers Award, I hope that the organizers of the Hundred Flowers Award should respond and explain as soon as possible. At the same time, the organizer should also review and adjust the selection criteria and procedures to ensure the fairness and objectivity of the selection results.
Viewers and netizens should also maintain a rational and objective attitude, and do not blindly follow the trend or over-interpret the selection results. After all, film awards are only a part of the entertainment industry, and the real value and significance lies in the work itself and the performances of the actors.
