Everyone is distressed for Shen Teng and Haiqing, and I feel wronged for Zhang Yi and Yuan Quan.
A few days ago, the major awards of the 36th Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films were announced.
Zhang Yi won Best Actor for "On the Cliff" and Yuan Quan won Best Actress for "Chinese Doctor".
But the first news that most people saw was Shen Teng and Haiqing who rushed to the hot search. As big box office winners, they won 0 votes in the Hundred Flowers Awards.
The overwhelming news on the Internet is a lot of grievances against Shen Teng and Hai Qing.
"Two actors who have such a good audience with the audience turned out to be "big duck eggs", why?" If I were a die-hard movie fan of them, I would not understand.
Soon the judges responded: All procedures are open, fair, transparent, and impartial. We are worthy of the responsibilities of the judges and our professional conscience.
"I don't recognize the six relatives, I only recognize the works; the wind comes from all sides, and I won't move." The judge's words were resolute and firm.
I believe this.
Professional and unprofessional aside, I absolutely believe that the national selection of the Hundred Flowers Award will not have the kind of "black box operation" that some netizens think.
It's serious.
Before the awards, the organizing committee selected the nominees based on the results from more than 13 million valid votes from movie audiences across the country; after that, 101 public judges were screened out nationwide through essay contests, film knowledge contests, etc. They will form the final evaluation committee; after in-depth observation and full discussion of the candidate films, the final result will be voted on at the awards ceremony.
Those who voted on the spot were not the melon eaters who only watched the excitement in front of the screen. They were all people who had professional identification ability and had removed the fan filter.
In fact, it is said that when the judges' group was discussing, they found that some actors did not receive the support of any judges, and the judges reported the matter to the judges.
The jury's reply was: "The Hundred Flowers Award should be in full bloom, vote according to your own ideas, and you must seek truth from facts."
All the judges, like the audience, do not know who will win until the voting results come out.
Although I also feel that it is embarrassing that the number of votes has been 0 during the voting process, if it is lost to Zhang Yi and Yuan Quan, it is not an unacceptable thing for Shen Teng and Haiqing.
Shen Teng and Haiqing's entry film is "My Father and I", a film consisting of four chapters and the participation of many well-known actors.
Compared with "Above the Cliff" and "Chinese Doctor", there are congenital deficiencies with fewer scenes and less room for play.
Therefore, although it is a small probability event for an actor nominated for a film award to get 0 votes, a small probability event does not mean that it will not happen.
If getting 0 votes is unacceptable, how many votes does an actor who loses in PK count as a "decent failure"?
The Hundred Flowers Award is an audience-centric award, and being shortlisted is already a victory for any actor.
Shen Teng and Haiqing each have a group of their own loyal fans. Shen Teng's film "Walking to the Moon" is being shown in the summer, and the box office exceeded 1 billion yuan within three days of its release.
This time, the audience relieved him of "0 embarrassment" with real money and real silver, and also gave him recognition.
In fact, Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is second, and so are the actors.
Sometimes the market and the awards are two different tracks. Whether Zhang Yi or Shen Teng are the best on the track, it is impossible to judge the level of two players based on one track and one competition.
For the audience, if you like an actor, you can like it as much as possible. As for those professional judgments, it is better to leave it to the professional.
