TVB officially announced the four major Taiwan celebration dramas in 2024 earlier, but because the selection of two is quite controversial, many Hong Kong drama fans believe that only "Black Moonlight" starring Yang Yi (Yang Qianyao), Wang Haoxin, Lin Xiawei, etc., and "The Cliff of Women" (Women and Heroes 4) starring Li Yaoxiang, Hu Dingxin, Xiao Zhengnan, etc., are eligible, and speculate that the Best Actress Award for "Thousands of Stars Awards Ceremony 2024" will be produced in the two dramas.
On October 20, Hu Dingxin, who attended the publicity event of "The Cliff of Women and Heroes" (broadcast simultaneously in two places on the 21st), responded to the behind-the-scenes dispute in an interview. The following is a screenshot of the relevant report:
Hu Dingxin said that he was very happy that the two different types of dramas "The Cliff of Women and Heroes" and "Black Moonlight" were selected as Taiwanese celebration dramas. As for the reporter's question about whether she would concede the competition because of the competition with Yang Yi, she gave a negative answer, emphasizing that she hoped to decide the award with her strength;
"Why let? There is no need to let the race, everyone supports each other, there is no need to let if you have the strength, let it not be the real winner! ”
Then, the reporter asked who had a higher chance of winning in the competition for the queen and whether he still wanted to take the queen, Hu Dingxin replied helplessly: "(This question) is not to be said, "The Cliff of Women and Heroes" has not been broadcast yet, we have to see which one the audience prefers." I have a lot to expect from my role in this drama, and it's really exciting. As for the after-view, it's not too late to discuss it after the broadcast. ”
Subsequently, the reporter mentioned that the video clip of the alleged feud between the two parties at the "Thousands of Stars Award Ceremony" many years ago was re-set off on the Internet, and asked if the classic picture would be repeated. Hu Dingxin responded that there was no problem with Yang Yi, and they met together at Guo Jinan's birthday party earlier and talked about it, and both parties felt that it was just a joke.
"When we met at the party that day, there was a discussion about whether we wanted to play again. After all, that picture is so classic, we all laugh when we think about it. She said.
Talking about his expectations for "The Cliff of Women and Heroes", Hu Dingxin said: "In fact, in the past few days, a lot of promotional videos have flowed out, and we have also forwarded a lot. I have a feeling of 'long time gone', there has been no (locally produced) early Republic of China drama broadcast on Hong Kong TV for a long time, and it was all filmed on location. It's very different in terms of senses, and it's different from the previous episodes we filmed, and I watched it as a viewer, and I felt very new. ”
In general, Hu Dingxin answered the questions about Yang Yi more appropriately, and also expressed a cautious and optimistic attitude towards "The Cliff of Women and Heroes", showing the demeanor and coping ability that a mature actor should have.
In all fairness, Hu Dingxin has an advantage in some aspects when competing with Yang Yi for the rearview.
Hu Dingxin's advantage is that the launch date of "The Cliff of Women and Heroes" in the mainland and Hong Kong is the same, and the update of TVB dramas will not lag too far behind the mainland platform, which is easier to give local audiences a sense of freshness, plus the broadcast time is a first-line prime time (8:30-9:29 in the evening), and the ratings are relatively guaranteed.
In contrast, "Black Moonlight" has already been broadcast on the mainland platform, and the Hong Kong broadcast time will not be until the end of the month, and the mainland platform has already been updated by then, and online resources and Hong Kong media reports about spoilers are bound to have an impact on the ratings, coupled with the broadcast time being a second-tier prime time (9:30-10:29 p.m.) that has been weak for a long time, the ratings are significantly more challenging.
In fact, in the history of TVB's "Thousands of Stars Award Ceremony", some of the post-viewing selection results have caused great controversy, such as Tang Shiyong, Cai Sibei, Lin Xiawei and others, who were greatly questioned when they won the after-view, but no matter how their acting skills are and whether they are worthy of the award, the ratings of the award-winning works are always handy. From this point of view, she is indeed the dominant side.
However, Yang Yi also has her own advantages. Her advantage is that her acting skills are better and her popularity is higher, and the current Internet popularity of "Black Moonlight" is also good, if the next plot and character discussion can further rise, then she should be the biggest hit behind the scenes.
