The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 267 The Eve
It takes about four weeks from the announcement of the Magnolia Award nominations to the final awards.

During the period when Lu Yuan was guest-starring on the set of "Myth", "private judges" were discussing the matter lively on the Internet.

Many people think that this year's list is quite bold. At the age of 25, Lu Yuan was nominated for the Magnolia Award for Best Actor and Most Popular Actor for the first time.

If this post-80s generation really takes down Shidi for the first time, how should those seniors who have been in the industry for more than ten years feel embarrassed?

"A blind guess, the emperor is Duan Hong, the star of "My Captain, My Group", and the queen is Yan Ni, the star of "The North Wind Blows"."

"I don't think it's too controversial after the movie, but it's hard to say "The Emperor", right? "My Leader, My Group" is good-looking, but just talking about the male protagonist, I personally don't think it is as classic as "Latent"."

"The plot of "My Leader, My Team" was seriously delayed, and the ratings in the later period were a mess. How can you still win an award just like that?"

"Yes, yes, "Latent" was great. Yu Zecheng seemed to be cheating. In the end, Ma Kui, Lu Qiaoshan, Li Ya, and Xie Ruolin all died. Could it be that Webmaster Wu was an undercover agent and the audience didn't say anything? You really think we are fools, don’t you?”

"Don't make any noise. I have watched both dramas. The rhythm of "Latent" is faster. The whole drama is not as heavy as "Leader" and it is easier to win everyone's love. "Leader" is a bit bitter in the entrance, but it is thought-provoking. , shocking and endlessly memorable, there is no doubt that they are all good dramas."

"Why do you have to choose between Lu Yuan and Duan Hong? Are Yu Hewei, Lin Yongjian, and Feng Enhe so insignificant?"

"Yes, Lin Yongjian's acting skills are not bad either."

"It's funny upstairs. This time it's obviously two powers competing for hegemony, and the other dramas are just making up the numbers."

"One thing to say is that this year's nomination for Shidi is actually quite unfavorable to Lu Yuan. He is the only one born in the [-]s."

"In terms of acting skills alone, Lu Yuan is no worse than the others, and Yu Zecheng's performance is even more unspeakable. But he suffers from his age. The youngest actor in Magnolia, Emperor Zhiwen, won the award at the age of 30."

"Age is not a problem for Neon actor Atsushi Ito. He won the 2002th Magnolia Award for "Underage" in 9, before his 19th birthday."

"It's hard to say. After all, he is a foreign actor. We don't know what the judges are thinking."

"..."

Many netizens were quarreling in various forums.

In fact, not only did they find it difficult to judge, but the judges of the Magnolia Award also found the problem difficult.

At the end of May, the jury for the No. 5 Magnolia Award was established, and judges from each group arrived one after another.

The Magnolia Awards are divided into TV series, TV movies, documentaries, and cartoons.

The chairman of this TV drama judging panel is Zheng Xiaolong, a veteran in the "Beijing circle".

When talking about the Beijing circle, Wang Shuo is often the first one that comes to mind, but Zheng Xiaolong’s status in the Beijing circle is no less than that of him.

Zheng Xiaolong promoted two great directors in Beijing, one is film director Feng Xiaogang, and the other is TV series director Zhao Baogang.

Moreover, this person has excellent vision. Starting from the early "Desire", all the film and television dramas directed by him have basically received good ratings.

On the day the jury was established, everyone received a video material, which contained clips of film and television dramas that had gone through two rounds of preliminary and re-evaluation.

In the next few days, what everyone has to do is to watch these clips in turn and then discuss the final list of winners.

The first award discussed was: Best Actor.

A conference room on the fourth floor of the hotel was turned into a screening room.

Zheng Xiaolong, the chairman of the jury, was sitting in the first row. He flipped through the roster in his hand and said to the staff: "Come in order."

"No. 26 Lu Yuan, play the [-]th episode of "Latent"."

"No. 18 Duan Hong, play the [-]th episode of "My Captain, My Regiment"." "No. [-] Yu Hewei..."

For the shortlisted TV series, due to time constraints, the judges will only evaluate the actors based on their performance in one or two episodes of the show.

After watching several clips, it was almost [-] noon.

Zheng Xiaolong frowned, his pen tip paused on the paper, and he fell into deep thought.

Not a good review!

Regardless of the ratings, the acting skills of the several candidates have their own characteristics and flash points due to their different roles. It is really difficult to choose.

Especially "Insidious" and "Leader".

He circled two people's names with his pen, rubbed his temples, looked at the other four judges beside him, and saw that they were silent, so he stood up and said, "It's time to eat, let's go eat first."

"Okay, let's chat while we eat and share our opinions." Mao Weining nodded.

The five of them went downstairs one after another. The hotel's dishes were good, including braised pork, marinated fish fillets, and steamed yuba, which were in line with the local characteristics of the city.

While eating, Zheng Xiaolong took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "The media reported that the online voting support rate of "My Leader, My Group" was ahead of "Latent"."

"There is a lot of commotion on the Internet every time the voting is held. Netizens like to give pointers. If we purely obey public opinion and decide based on the number of votes, then why do we need our judging panel?"

"Yes, the opinions of netizens are for reference only and do not need to be taken seriously."

Zheng Xiaolong was noncommittal, put down his cell phone, and said to the crowd: "You have all seen the performance clips of the candidates just now. I also know what you are thinking and what concerns you have."

He waved his right hand and said: "Let's put aside external factors such as ratings first. I want to ask everyone a question. What is a high-quality film and television drama, and what should be the basis for its judgment?"

Mao Weining thought for a moment, put down her chopsticks, and said: "It must meet the entertainment needs of the audience and have good ratings data. Good film and television dramas must meet these two points, but at the same time, they must not cater to these two commercial demands. , "Latent" did a good job in this aspect."

In his early years, he filmed the spy drama "Silence", for which he won the Best Director Award at the 23rd TV Feitian Awards, so he has a special liking for spy movies.

Judge Yang Yazhou said: "My Team Leader My Team" is also acceptable. It has an absolute reputation and high recognition among fans, and has even set a new high for domestic dramas in the past ten years, so recognition is also essential. "

Mao Weining raised his eyebrows and said: "But it has also been criticized by a large number of critics and nearly half of the audience. It is a fact that the plot is obscure and dragging."

Sparks are everywhere!

The remaining two judges, Deng Cuiwen and Ma Zhongjun, ate their food quietly without saying a word.

In fact, they all know in their hearts that the Best Actor Award, Best Screenplay Award, and Best TV Series Award will definitely come from "Insidious" and "The Leader".

As for the films "Wang Gui and Anna", "The Big Deal" and "The North Wind" that were also shortlisted, they are good, but not that good in comparison.

Zheng Xiaolong was happy to see them quarreling. Many things came to fruition after quarreling.

Mao Weining said: "TV dramas need to follow a popular line. We do not deny the excellence of "Leader". However, this drama pays too much attention to the personality of the characters, the visual effects, and highlights the talents of the creators, but ignores the acceptance ability of the majority of the audience."

"Why, are you doubting the audience's IQ? Why are those bad movies not chosen for us?" Yang Yazhou replied.

"Hey, Lao Yang, you are unreasonable. Popular does not mean vulgar. Good TV series are based on respecting the audience's intelligence and aesthetic standards. The audience can make their own judgment."
