The rules for the Feitian Awards are very strict. The repertoires participating in the competition must be highly of the times, sing the praises of the people, and have first-class performances by the actors. Therefore, the Feitian Awards have always favored realistic dramas and actors. The Feitian Awards have set “double yolk eggs” in the awards for outstanding actors and actresses for 12 consecutive sessions, but only one place has been set up in each of the two major awards in the last three sessions. The Outstanding Actor Award was won by Chen Baoguo, Zhang Tong and He Bing respectively; the Outstanding Actress Award was won by Mei Ting, Sun Li and Qin Hailu respectively.
There are two highlights in this Feitian Awards: First, after the last Feitian Awards included online dramas for the first time, this year will continue to throw olive branches to network dramas. Secondly, illegal and immoral persons and the works they participated in are strictly prohibited from participating in the evaluation.
The selection scope of the Feitian Award is the TV series broadcast in 2020 and 2021. There is no doubt that the outstanding works nominated for the Magnolia Award last year will also participate in the competition for the Feitian Award. The evaluation criteria of the Feitian Awards usually pay more attention to the main theme of the drama, the national character, and the transmission of core values. Therefore, in the works broadcast in 2020, “The Great River 2”, “The Age of Awakening”, “Crossing the Yalu River” and “Shan Hai Qing” “Together” and “Secret and Great” are more likely to be shortlisted for 16 Outstanding TV Drama Awards. In the episodes broadcast in 2021, dramas such as “The World“, “Meritorious”, “Sweeping the Black Storm” and “Rebel” are more likely to be shortlisted. The remaining shortlisted works may be born in realist works such as “Children of Qiao’s Family”, “Little Shede”, “Xiao Min’s Home”, “Trident” and “Taiwan”.
In terms of performance awards, the Feitian Award also prefers the acting school in the realistic drama. In terms of the Outstanding Actor Award, Yu Hewei of “The Age of Awakening” and Lei Jiayin of “The World” are more likely to win the award. Among them, Jiayin Lei has performed well in the two main theme dramas “Together” and “Meritorious Merit”. “Lei Datou”, who has never won the three awards for TV dramas before, may not have made a name for himself, but he was a blockbuster. In terms of the Outstanding Actress Award, Song Jia, who holds two realistic dramas “The World” and “Little Shede”, has a high voice. If she wins, she will join the list of “Grand Slam” actresses in China’s TV drama awards.
Who is the “Golden Eagle Goddess” of the Golden Eagle Award has sparked speculation again
The China TV Golden Eagle Award is a TV award co-sponsored by the China Federation of Literature and Art and the China Television Artists Association. It was founded in 1983. The Golden Eagle Award is a permanent national TV art award produced by a combination of expert reviewers, members of the China Television Association and audience votes.
In 2000, “China TV Golden Eagle Award” was upgraded to “China Golden Eagle TV Art Festival”, which was permanently hosted by Hunan Radio and Television Media. The award setting of the Golden Eagle Awards has changed a lot. From the first to the seventeenth session, only the “Best Actor” and “Best Actress” awards were set for the leading role performance awards. Since the 18th Golden Eagle Awards settled in Changsha, only the “Audience Favorite Actor” and “Audience Favorite Actress” awards have been set for the leading role performance awards, and there are as many as four or five winners in each category. The 30th Golden Eagle Awards to be held in 2020 changed the rules again. “The audience’s favorite actor and actress awards have been changed from 2 each to “the audience’s favorite actor and actress awards each, and the best actor award.” , 1 actress award each”.
In recent years, the Golden Eagle Award has been controversial. Since the online voting mechanism was added to the awards, social networks have often staged fan battles during the Golden Eagle Awards voting. Fans of high-traffic actors often do their best to promote and vote for their idols in order to help their idols win the audience’s favorite actor and actress awards. At the last Golden Eagle Awards, the audience’s favorite actor award was Wang Yibo of “Accompany You to the Top of the World“, and the audience’s favorite actress award was Zhao Liying of “Do you know whether it should be green, fat, red and thin”.
In addition, the “Golden Eagle Goddess” played by well-known actresses at each Golden Eagle Awards is also quite topical. This year’s “Golden Eagle Goddess” candidate silhouettes have been exposed, and actresses such as Tan Songyun, Guli Nazha, Zhang Zifeng, Yang Zi, and Jin Chen have sparked speculation.
On March 28, the topic of “Golden Eagle Award TV Drama Shortlist Prediction” topped Weibo’s hot search list, and netizens discussed “who can win the award”. According to the consistent tone of the Golden Eagle Award selection, the audience’s favorite actor and actress awards are the “popularity awards” voted by the audience. The previous awards for Wang Yibo and Zhao Liying are used as a reference. This year, Zhu Yilong of “Rebel” and “Secret and Great” Li Yifeng of “The Swordsman in the Snow”, Zhang Ruoyun of “The Swordsman in the Snow”, Xiao Zhan of “Please Advise the Rest of Your Life”, Bai Jingting of “The Beginning”, Tan Songyun of “In the Name of Family”, Gu Li Nazha of “The Wind Rises”, Yang Zi of “Please Advise the Rest of Your Life” and Zhao Jinmai of “The Beginning” may have greater competitiveness.
In terms of best actor and actress awards, the last year was awarded to Ren Dahua of “Macau People” and Tong Yao of “Dajiang Dahe”, which were different from the Feitian Award and the Magnolia Award in the same period. Taking into account the unique evaluation mechanism of “netizens + experts” of the Golden Eagle Awards, all actors in excellent realistic dramas have the possibility of winning.
