On May 24, the nominations for the Magnolia Awards were officially announced.

As one of the few grand ceremonies in the TV drama industry, this list immediately aroused heated discussions among countless people as soon as it was announced.

Just a few hours later, many media people broke up the list, crumpled and analyzed it thoroughly, and each made their own predictions.

Xu Zhen, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, naturally attracted people's attention, and for a while, netizens were both surprised and deserved.

The 21-year-old young actor was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Magnolia Awards for the second time.

What an honor.

I still remember that a year ago, Xu Zhen, as a newcomer, won this nomination together with a big actor in the acting school, and people only regarded it as a joke at that time.

The group photo on the day of the awards ceremony was spoofed by countless people, some people pulled the four bigwigs to be 3 meters tall, and then shrunk Xu Zhen into a dwarf, and with the words "The group of guys except me", which became a popular emoji.

As a result, just one year later, Xu Zhen won the same nomination again, but no one questioned it anymore.

He won this nomination for the role of Zhou Yu in "Three Kingdoms", which is well-deserved.

There are even many people who boldly predict that Xu Zhen will stand out among these five people and win the "Best Supporting Actor" award.

For example, the well-known drama critic "A Speck of Dust" took the initiative to speak out as soon as the list was announced, making it clear that he supported Xu Zhen.

"As we all know, the criteria for the first nomination and the second nomination are not the same."

A fine dust wrote on his social account: "Sometimes, new actors have contributed good performances in hit dramas, and when other projects in the show are not worthy of nomination, the organizing committee will give an encouraging nomination after consideration." ”

"For example, last year's Xu Zhen, and this year's Han Yunlei."

"But this year is different."

"Let's take a look at this year's list, on the side of the crew of "Three Kingdoms", the director, screenwriter, actor, and the TV series itself have all been nominated for awards, and the organizing committee has already given enough face to this drama, and obviously there is no need to give Xu Zhen a supporting actor award to 'balance' anything."

"It can even be said that if it weren't for the strength of this supporting role, the organizing committee would probably not give him this nomination for the sake of 'balance'."

After analyzing "Three Kingdoms", he began to analyze the other actors who were nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the same time: "Compared with the previous year, this year's Best Supporting Actor nomination is considered a 'small year'. ”

"But even in Xiao Nian, there are two bigwigs Feng Jingyuan and Ni Guohong on the list, and the other three are all powerful actors with good reviews in the industry."

"As I said just now, Han Yunlei, who was nominated for the first time this year, was nominated for the encouragement of balance considerations, and the possibility of winning the award can basically be ruled out."

"And although Liu Zhanyun's acting skills are remarkable, he used dubbing in "Jinling Elegy" - dubbing must be unsuccessful, not explained."

"Then there are actually only three people participating in this competition: Feng Jingyuan, Ni Guohong and Xu Zhen."

"And comparing the performance of these three people in the play, I vote for Xu Zhen."

"This young man's acting skills may not be as good as the two predecessors, but the 'Best Supporting Actor' has never been about acting skills, but about the actor's portrayal of the role and the character's contribution to the whole play."

"In this regard, looking at all the TV series in the past year, I don't think there is any character who can compare to Zhou Yu."

“……”

As soon as such a point of view came out, some people supported it, and some people refuted it, but no one found it ridiculous.

Xu Zhen deserves this nomination for the role of Zhou Yu, and even if he finally wins the award, everyone will not be surprised.

However, netizens' attention to "Best Supporting Actor" is limited after all.

The vast majority of people's attention is focused on the competition for the best actor and actress, that is, the "Emperor of Vision" and "Queen".

There is basically no controversy on the "behind the scenes" side, and as soon as they see the shortlist, everyone has already guessed who the final winner will be.

On the other hand, there was a big disagreement on the side of the "Emperor of Vision".

Because, there is a candidate on the list that makes people feel a little complicated - Chen Zhenghao.

The powerful faction is popular on the front line, debuted for 15 years, and starred in movies and TV series have achieved excellent results, but he himself has never been crowned emperor so far.

Whether it is the actor or the emperor, I have never won it once.

This nomination is particularly important to him, because as we all know, Chen Zhenghao has devoted his main energy to movies in the past two years, and has rarely taken on TV series.

Therefore, if he can't get Emperor Shi this time, he is likely to have no chance with Emperor Shi in this life.

Also due to this consideration, after discussion, the crew of "Three Kingdoms" discussed that the final candidate for the "Best Actor" was not Cao Cao's actor, but Chen Zhenghao.

Audiences who have watched "Three Kingdoms" admit that Chen Zhenghao portrayed the role of Zhuge Liang vividly and vividly in the play, deeply into the body and mind, and the plot where the stars finally fell into Wuzhang Yuan is also really sad and moving, which makes people cry.

According to the average judging criteria of the Magnolia Awards, this character is eligible for the Shidi Trophy.

However, when netizens saw the list of nominees for this year's "Best Actor", they fell silent in an instant.

Li Deyu "Father is a Mountain";

Wu Qin "Gunshots at Dawn"

Zhang Xiaotong "Borrowing a Knife" ......

Nominated at the same time as the three veteran emperors.

Among them, Mr. Li Deyu has not been out of the mountain for three years, and he is a great work of wind and thunder;

Wu Qin's "Gunshot" is recognized as the god of World War I, and has aroused countless heated discussions on major social platforms.

Chen Zhenghao is sandwiched between several old drama bones, and it is really difficult to say whether he can win the honor of Emperor Shi.

……

Not only do netizens find it difficult to say, but the judges of the Magnolia Award also find it difficult to say.

At the end of May, the jury of this year's Magnolia Award was officially established, and the judges of each group stayed in the hotel arranged by the organizing committee.

The chairman of the jury of this year's Magnolia Award is Sun Mantang, a well-known Chinese screenwriter.

As the screenwriter of "Breaking through the East", Sun Mantang, who had just worked with Xu Zhen, looked at this list and felt a little crying and laughing.

- Okay, give Xiao Xu to me!

If he doesn't win the award, can't it be said that it is my responsibility?

However, complaining is complaining, and Sun Mantang actually didn't feel embarrassed.

In the final analysis, the entertainment industry is so big, at least more than 80% of the people on the list have worked with him, and it is impossible to say that he wants to completely avoid suspicion.

On the day the jury was formed, a mobilization meeting was held, and everyone got a video material, which included the performance clips selected by each crew.

Over the next few days, all the jury had to do was look at the clips one by one and then discuss the final winners.

The first award to be discussed is Best Actor.
