A few days ago, the much-anticipated 29th Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Awards announced the shortlist of awards, among which the nomination for "Best Actor" caused a lot of controversy.
A total of five outstanding TV series leading actors have been nominated, including Ding Yongdai, who was shortlisted for "South to North", Fan Wei in "The Long Season", Hu Ge in "Flowers", Wang Renjun in "Asking the Boundless" and Wang Yang in "The Wind Chaser".
These works are all excellent, but the shortlist still caused some controversy, such as Bai Jingting, the actor of "Wang Xin" in "South to North", was not nominated.
There are also people who complain about Qin Hao, the actor of "Gong Biao" in "The Long Season".
Qin Hao's performance is indeed good, but Fan Wei is a well-deserved male lead in "The Long Season", and there is nothing wrong with being shortlisted for the best actor.
The most controversial is the actor Wang Yang, who was shortlisted for "The Wind Chaser".
It has only been a week since the Magnolia Award shortlist was announced, and the related topic controversy is still fermenting.
Many viewers and netizens believe that Wang Yibo is the male protagonist in the TV series "Wind Chaser", and he "carried all the heat and topics", but he was not shortlisted for Best Actor, but Wang Yang, who ranked third in the leading role, was nominated.
Wang Yibo's fans feel that this selection method is unfair, so they use various ways to seek justice for their idols.
In the eyes of many outsiders, Wang Yibo's fans don't seem to question the authoritative awards, and many people are prejudiced against the "traffic" stars themselves, and some even say that this is a battle for position.
Not at all. What's the dispute? The position is very clear, Wang Yibo is the male protagonist, this is an objective fact.
If you want to evaluate this matter, first of all, it should be an audience who has seriously followed the show, rather than following the trend and thinking that Wang Yibo's fans are using the huge fan base to do things.
What kind of wind is the wind chaser chasing? It was Wei Ruolai, a patriotic young man who was determined to serve the country, who gradually found the direction of his life after witnessing the darkness of the old society and the constant disappointment of those in power, and finally firmly threw himself into the historical torrent of the new democratic revolution.
Chasing the wind is Wei Ruolai's gradually changing beliefs, and he is the "soul" of the whole play.
There are two film and television critics on the Internet who said very well, "Under the same selection criteria, if Wang Yang can be shortlisted for the best actor in Magnolia, then Wang Yibo should be shortlisted." ”
As for those who say that Wang Yang is a powerful faction, Wang Yibo is a traffic idol, and the two sides cannot be compared, I persuade them to watch the TV series first before talking.
Perhaps this natural bias against traffic is the source of controversy on the Magnolia Award shortlist, as if the shortlisting of traffic stars will lower the gold content of the award.
But judging from the current situation, no matter how unhappy fans are, it is impossible to change the status quo.
The most important thing at the moment is to calm down public opinion as soon as possible and maintain the dignity and authority of the Magnolia Award, one of the three major awards for TV dramas.
As a result, in the case of continuous fermentation of related topics, all parties finally responded successively after communication and consultation.
On the morning of June 5, the official Weibo account of the TV series "Wind Chaser" issued a "situation note" on the recent controversy.
The drama team first thanked everyone for their attention to "The Wind Chaser" and the recognition of the characters in the play, and respected and cherished the excellent performances of every actor.
Therefore, as permitted by the detailed rules for the submission of the Magnolia Award, a report was made for each leading actor to strive for honor, and the award was reported for the simultaneous creator and actor.
Like the previous news on the Internet, Wang Yibo and Wang Yang both submitted the Magnolia Award for Best Actor.
Shortly after the release of the situation statement of the crew of "The Wind Chaser", Wang Yibo, the actor of "Wei Ruolai" in the play, and Wang Yang, the actor of "Shen Tunan", also responded to the "Magnolia Award Controversy".
Wang Yibo behaved very generously, he thanked everyone for their recognition of "Wind Chaser", and also said that the success of this drama is inseparable from the efforts and dedication of all the main creators and staff.
Everyone understands and supports each other, and Wei Ruolai's growth is not just the growth of one person.
Wang Yibo finally thanked the audience who loved him, and said that as an actor, he will continue to do his best to focus on every role and work.
Wang Yang's response was relatively brief, only nine words: "I am filming steadily, and actions speak louder than words." ”
As a traditional TV series actor ranking, the leading actors should be Wang Yibo and Li Qin, and Wang Yang, Zhang Tianyang, etc. should be supporting roles.
Now everyone has also discovered that the names in the cast list of TV series are really varied, and they are the leading actors, special starring, special guest starring, special starring, friendship starring, and then the starring list......
Dare to love the current TV series without supporting roles?
Finally, I want to say that traffic stars can also be powerful, please don't look at them with colored glasses.
