The list of nominees for the 29th Magnolia Awards was announced, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The drama "Flowers", which recalls the changes of the times in Shanghai, swept all nine nominations, and could be the biggest winner this year as the frontrunner.

"The Long Season", which is also a phenomenal hit drama, has a score of 9.4, showing the suspenseful flow of life in the past in the Northeast, and has also won 5 nominations.

Interestingly, after the list was announced, many celebrities' fans began to quarrel.

Fans are canvassing for "their own brothers and sisters", and many fans think that "Magnolia" is not worthy of their idols.

For example, Wang Yang, who was nominated for Best Actor for "The Wind Chaser", was then sniped and asked why for a "supporting role"?

Thinking back to this time last year, the hit drama "Hurricane" that dominated the screen returned in "Magnolia", and Zhang Songwen, who was a god in acting, did not even get a nomination.

is different from the traffic star who lacks polishing and polishing his acting skills, he is precisely because he acted too well, but he doesn't know why he can't be publicized.

However, after the list is announced, it means that a few families are happy and a few are sad, and there are always some good actors with superb acting skills who are destined to miss the award.

They weren't even nominated, they were the jewels of the award.

Awards do not negate good actors, and the pearl is only temporary.

01, "Flowers" Ma Yili plays the role of Shanghai female boss Lingzi

The male protagonist Mr. Bao and the three beautiful women deduced the emotional and financial entanglements in the world.

is different from Miss Wang's frankness and rebellion, and also different from the mysterious and sexy Li Li.

On the surface, Reiko, who regards wealth as life, but in fact, is the most eager for love, has become uneasy in the hearts of drama fans, and she failed to accompany Po to the end.

Ma Yili interprets the complex emotions of Reiko and Po delicately and vividly, there is friendship and family affection between them, and there is also endless and imperfect love.

Lingzi scolded Ah Bao in the play for being a "bottomless coffin", that is, a loser, and the coffin will naturally be scrapped if it has no bottom.

This is one of the tutors of Shanghai women, and the mother will tell the child that he can only spend one or two yuan if he has ten yuan in his hand, and he must save money as a person.

The shrewd and capable Reiko is also calculating, she sits on the home field of Mr. Bao, and night Tokyo is also Mr. Bao's business.

She can not only help Mr. Bao solve troubles, but also greedily and constantly scavenging Mr. Bao's money, so much so that she is called a "debt collector" by her uncle.

However, Ma Yili portrayed this shrewd Shanghai woman as beautiful and exquisite, greedy for money and a little cute.

It's just because her performance is not just superficial, she has been serving the main line.

Bao always "takes off the bottom of the coffin", and she Reiko must make the bottom plate of the coffin, and Bang Bao always covers the bottom when in danger.

How much Reiko usually loves money, and when she gives up everything for Mr. Bao, how touching she shows is love and righteousness.

As a native of Shanghai, Ma Yili has incorporated her own memories into her characters since she first came into contact with Reiko, and her smiles, anger and emotion are her observations and understandings of life.

Reiko also has a growth arc in the play, especially when she sees Mr. Bao clearly, she decides to tear down the old Night Tokyo, and she is no longer anyone's boss lady who has come over again, she is the boss who can afford and let go.

Ma Yili performed Lingzi's madness and confusion for love, and also performed the sobriety of a Shanghai woman, which is called being clear.

Mr. Bao has been in the flowers, and it seems that the leaves do not stick to the body, but many people only recognize Lingzi, Mrs. Bao.

It is a pity that Ma Yili was not nominated.

02, "Flowers" Xin Zhilei plays Li Li, the strongest female boss on Huanghe Road

The Yellow River Road was one of the most prosperous sections of Shanghai at that time, and those who could open restaurants on this road were all people.

And Li Li, the female boss from the north, once became the brightest star here.

In Mr. Bao's heart, the only one who can compete with Ma Yili's night Tokyo is Xin Zhilei's Zhizhen Garden.

He has seen the world, he only asks for a bowl of soaked rice, and only orders a dry fried beef river.

Li Li, played by Xin Zhilei, is an ambitious female boss with strong diplomatic means, and at the same time a heroine with a mysterious past and a variety of amorous feelings.

She has a clear motivation from the beginning, and a complete story can be seen from her perspective alone.

Under the lens of Wong Kar-wai, we saw the most beautiful Xin Zhilei, who obtained the filter of cinematic texture.

Similar beauty used to exist only in Maggie Cheung in "In the Mood for Love" or Song Hye Kyo in "The Grandmaster".

Xin Zhilei's aura is strong, and her appearance can withstand the close-up of the camera's face, as well as various top-down overhead shots, and forty-five shots.

Through her exposed beauty, the audience seems to see the inner complexity and struggle of the character, and she must be someone with a story.

If the series is re-edited, it is not impossible to cut Li Li into a big heroine, this is a story of a woman and a promise.

Li Li and Lingzi echoed each other in the play and secretly competed, but Xin Zhilei and Ma Yili both failed outside the play, perhaps it was some kind of doom in the dark.

03, "The Glory of the Fathers" as Cunhua, and "The Long Season" as Liu Lin of Li Qiaoyun

Cunhua played by Liu Lin, as the mother of a big family, interprets a simple and life-like woman as real and credible.

She plays Cunhua in many life scenes in the play, in ordinary family scenes, she skillfully operates kitchen utensils to cook vegetables.

These natural and vivid performances make people see no traces of performance, as if they are a real reproduction of life.

In one of the eating scenes, Cunhua wrapped sauerkraut stuffed dumplings for Xingjie, who came to the house for the first time, she sandwiched dumplings for Xingjie, and took a sugar triangle to chew in her mouth, while talking to her husband naturally.

Liu Lin's performance is based on the life of ordinary laborers in the 90s, and through the careful handling of details, she has successfully created a real and three-dimensional character.

In "The Long Season", which shows the group portrait, Liu Lin's performance is still outstanding, she plays the laid-off female worker Li Qiaoyun, in order to raise her children to middle age, she has to go to the nightclub to accompany the wine and sing.

At night, with snowflakes drifting, Qiaoyun, who got off the night shift, sat in the back seat of her husband's bicycle, sandwiching their sleeping child in the middle, Qiaoyun's expression was full of sadness and happiness, this scene was moving.

Li Qiaoyun is not the protagonist, but she also has an ordinary life that belongs to her, a life full of sighs and tricks of fate is more than chicken feathers, and she has never given up the pursuit of a better life.

When Qiaoyun faced the pursuit of a teacher with better conditions and a high pension, and chose to treat the old man Wang Xiang, it was precisely because of Liu Lin's performance that we believed in this choice.

However, Liu Lin seems to have no chance with "Magnolia", she was not nominated for the high-scoring drama "Parents Love", she was unsuccessful in "Know", "Awakening Age" was also unsuccessful, and she was still not nominated in "The Hidden Corner".

She will shine in 2023, she could have been nominated for the heroine through "The Glory of the Fathers" and the supporting actress through "The Long Season", but she got nothing in "Magnolia".

04, "The Long Season" Qin Hao plays Gong Biao

Xin Shuang, a child who grew up watching "Ma Dashuai", once seized the opportunity to block his childhood idol Fan Wei in a hotel room and talk for two hours.

After telling the story, the former "Brother Biao" patted the young man on the shoulder with a Jianghu action, "If I get the script, I will definitely act." ”

This script is "The Long Season", and the audience who has watched "Ma Dashuai", especially the lovers of "Biaoxue", will definitely be able to find countless easter eggs of tribute from Xin Shuang, a god-like drama.

When "Brother Biao" gets old, Mr. Fan Wei can no longer play the role of the tiger back then, and Xin Shuang can only pin his emotions and the mantle of "Brother Biao" on the role of Gong Biao.

Qin Hao, a native of Shenyang, also lived up to expectations, and performed Biaozi with the unique energy of Northeast people, seemingly unreliable but able to carry things, no wonder he said that taking on this role is like a responsibility.

When Biaozi proudly wore a green scarf, he was also the receiver of the factory director when he was just laid off, and when he learned the truth, he still accepted Huang Liru and married her.

When he let go of the pigeon that represents hope, when he chose to leave the house and return his wife's freedom, when he finally won the lottery before he had a car accident...

Not to mention that the birch forest dance king Biaozi danced wantonly in KTV, this dance will easily dissolve the injustice and helplessness of life for many years.

With a time span of 20 years, Qin Hao played the two age groups of Biaozi in a clear layer, and his performance was simply a movie-level dimensionality reduction blow.

Helplessly, there is only one place for the crew to be selected, and perhaps the uncrowned king does not need an award to prove it at all.

postscript

Although the "Magnolia" Award is one of the most influential TV awards in China, it is destined to fail to satisfy everyone.

There are many pearls, and You Benchang, the actor of the uncle in "Flowers", is also one of them.

However, the old man has long been the embodiment of Jigong, and at the age of 90 this year, he has long been pampered, how can he rob the dolls.

Before signing up, the old man told the crew that he would not participate in the submission and leave the opportunity to young people, this is the pattern of "uncle".

Fu Weijun played by young actor Jiang Qiming in "The Long Season".

portrayed a deaf and mute person only by body language, because there are too many good actors in this play, he regretted that he was not nominated.

Lin Qiaosong in "Wind Chaser" plays Zhang Tianyang.

will be a ruthless, "faith" firm detective team captain, vividly interpreted.

The awards are judged by experts, but in the hearts of each audience, they have their own favorites.

Those actors are very good, but I like them, even if they don't get nominated. (Written by Mu Weizhou)
