When it comes to Liu Yifei, many post-80s and post-90s generations must be very familiar with it
With her fresh and refined temperament and exquisite facial features, Liu Yifei stood out among many actresses and left a deep impression on the audience
For example, the little dragon girl she played in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", dressed in white and with long flowing hair, like a fairy descending to earth, has become a classic image in the hearts of the audience
In the past few years, Liu Yifei has also starred in many TV series, and the ratings are also very good, such as "The Life of Roses" some time ago, as well as "Menghualu" and "To a Windy Place"
And Liu Yifei herself is also very low-key in the entertainment industry, there are almost no scandals, and she is not often on the hot search, and she has always been a strong woman who pays attention to her career
However, just yesterday, she has always been low-key in the entertainment industry, and she aroused heated discussions among netizens and fans because of the Golden Eagle Award
The reason for the incident was the start of voting for the 32nd China TV Golden Eagle Awards
Liu Yifei was originally successfully shortlisted for the first round with her starring works "Going to a Windy Place" and "Menghualu".
However, after the second round of voting began, its shortlisting was disqualified
The reason is because one of the selection regulations of the Golden Eagle Award requires that the participants must have Chinese nationality
And Liu Yifei is a United States nationality and does not meet this shortlisting requirement
After Liu Yifei was shortlisted in the second round, she was questioned by netizens, so the official canceled her qualification
And these two works were also removed by the organizers
This incident has sparked widespread discussion among netizens, with mixed reviews
Some people believe that since the selection rules clearly stipulate the nationality requirements of the entrants, it is reasonable for the Golden Eagle Award to follow the rules
So netizens left messages in the comment area
First, I like Liu Yifei very much. Second, I think it's reasonable not to allow players of other nationalities to participate, and that's the rule
Although I like Liu Yifei very much, at the national level, I support this
Since you have chosen to renounce your nationality, you should also give up some of your reputation and support national policy
There are even people who are "2G networks", and they don't even know that Liu Yifei is a foreign national
However, some people said that this award doesn't matter to Liu Yifei at all, and he doesn't need to prove anything with it, no matter what nationality he is, he will support him
But some people also questioned the Golden Eagle Award's operation of initially allowing Liu Yifei to be shortlisted for the first round, and then removing it in the second round
thinks that this way of dealing with it is not rigorous enough, and it is not very fair to Liu Yifei himself
If the relevant regulations were in place from the beginning, Liu Yifei could have been directly removed from the list in the first round
Now that Liu Yifei has been shortlisted for the second round, the relevant regulations will be implemented, whether this is a mistake of the organizer or something else
It's hard not to suspect that the organizers are trying to use this to hype, after all, everyone wants to rub Liu Yifei's popularity
At the same time, the incident has also raised questions about the rigor and credibility of the awards
In addition to Liu Yifei, actors such as Siqin Gaowa (Switzerland) and Liu Tao were also removed from the list due to nationality issues
However, Liu Yifei's United States nationality was revealed a long time ago
And Liu Yifei herself never concealed it, and generously admitted the matter
In addition, the change of nationality was arranged for her by Liu Yifei's mother, and it was not Liu Yifei's own choice
In 1997, when Liu Yifei was 10 years old, his parents divorced because of emotional discord, and Liu Yifei then went to United States with her mother Liu Xiaoli
After arriving in United States, Liu Xiaoli considered that her daughter would have to go to school and live in United States for a long time
If you have United States citizenship, it will be more convenient to receive education, go through various procedures, and daily life
In a foreign country, changing nationality can reduce a lot of inconvenience and distress caused by identity differences, and allow Liu Yifei to better adapt to the new environment
In addition, United States has certain advantages in education, with rich educational resources and advanced educational concepts
For Liu Yifei's mother, allowing her daughter to join the United States nationality can give her more opportunities to access high-quality educational resources and provide better conditions for her future development
So her mother helped her change her nationality, and Liu Yifei also took enough credits and completed her studies in advance after finishing high school in United States
It is worth mentioning that although Liu Yifei's nationality is United States
But she has always loved Chinese culture, and has also actively participated in domestic performing arts activities, contributing to the development of China's film and television culture
And she has repeatedly expressed her love for China and her pride in being Chinese in interviews
And there are not a few Chinese actors like Liu Yifei who do not forget their motherland after changing their nationality
For example, our "Gong Huang" - Gong Li
Gong Li was born in Jinan, Shandong Province, and later became a Singapore citizen
Gong Li has a pivotal position in the international film industry and is a representative of Chinese movie stars
She is the only Chinese actor in the world who has won gold medals at the three major European film festivals - Berlin, Cannes and Venice
She has repeatedly stated that she is a Chinese actress at award ceremonies and interviews, emphasizing that her roots are in China
On some international occasions, she has always regarded herself as a Chinese actor and defended the honor of Chinese films
For example, at the Golden Horse Awards ceremony in 2018, Gong Li refused to present the award on stage due to the inappropriate remarks of a Taiwan director, showing a firm patriotic stance
Taiwan director Fu Yu, who won the "Best Documentary" award at that time, made "Taiwan independence" remarks in his acceptance speech
She said, "I hope our country can be treated as an independent individual," which triggered strong dissatisfaction among the mainland filmmakers present
Originally, Gong Li, as the chairman of the jury, wanted to present the Best Film Award with Ang Lee, but after hearing Fu Yu's inappropriate remarks, Gong Li sat in the audience with a black face throughout the whole process and refused to present the award on stage
This incident has attracted widespread attention and heated discussions, and Gong Li's behavior has also been supported and praised by many netizens
The turmoil at the Golden Horse Awards has not only damaged the image of the award in the eyes of mainlanders
It also led to the suspension of mainland films and personnel from participating in the Golden Horse Film Festival held in Taiwan since then
Therefore, regarding Liu Yifei's removal from the Golden Eagle Award due to nationality, the editor wants to say that this is a national-level award system
As a national comprehensive award for television arts, the Golden Eagle Award has its own clear selection rules and criteria
Acting in accordance with the rules also ensures the fairness and consistency of the selection
But Liu Yifei's own contribution to the Chinese entertainment industry is also indelible, and people should not wantonly criticize her because of her foreign status
