The 8th audience in the Folk TV Awards, sponsored by Hong Kong pro-ViuTV TV media and voted by local netizens, was announced on Feb. 7. ViuTV won 12 of 14 awards as the biggest winner, while TVB won two in controversy, becoming the foil of the next stage for four years in a row.
Visual Emperor (Best Actor) was won by Lu Hanting, a popular member of Hong Kong's top stream and ViuTV MIRROR, with a hot posture and crushing advantage, and achieved three consecutive victories. Netizens in Hong Kong believe that in the Hong Kong version of "dating within the Society", he shows the extraordinary acting skills of the male role of the Korean version of "dating within the Society" and is the best TV actor in Hong Kong in the past year.
As for TVB, this time only Chen Hao was shortlisted for the top 5 by virtue of "strong Man to break the virus". In the final vote, he received only 710 votes, ranking fourth behind Lu Hanting, Lu Jian and Chen Zhuoxian, three popular MIRROR members.
The winner of Best Actress (Best Actress) was she Shiman, who starred in the TVB series "the Queen of the News", with only 378 votes more than Qiu Yanjun, a popular member of the ViuTV women's troupe COLLAR, a narrow victory.
It must be pointed out that the vast majority of Sheshman's Hong Kong fans and TVB supporters have long boycotted the award because of Fang Yiwen's tendency in recent years, while ViuTV supporters and some local netizens have always supported Fang Yiwen, and because Qiu Yancang's ViuTV attribute and some of the stories of "We blossomed that Summer" actively voted, the number of voters was far ahead, which should have been won by the latter.
The winner for best supporting actor was Mai Peidong for ViuTV Hong Kong's "Social Dating," who beat out other ViuTV series actors by hundreds of votes. TVB did not have any male actors in the top 5.
The winner of best supporting actress was Gao Haining, who starred in the Queen of the News. as the only TVB child in the top five of the award, she narrowly beat ViuTV artist Chen Yuxi by more than 400 votes.
The winners of best drama partner are Lu Hanting and Lu Jian, popular members of the ViuTV Troupe MIRROR. Compared with other ViuTV drama partners on the list, Hong Kong netizens are more likely to be the golden partners who grew up together from the Hong Kong version of Uncle's Love.
The best drama and best screenplay awards were won by the ViuTV Hong Kong version of "dating within the Society", which was more than 5000 votes higher than the same ViuTV series "We blossomed that summer." As the only TVB series with two awards in the top five, "the News Queen" had only 1029 votes and 1041 votes.
It is worth mentioning that there is a rare divergence of opinion among ViuTV supporters and MIRROR fans on the results of this award. A considerable number of people think that "We bloomed like a Flower that Summer" is a super magic drama rarely seen in the history of Hong Kong drama in decades, and should be more suitable for winning the award than a remade excellent series.
Of course, this kind of magic drama is impossible without a prize. The winner of best photography was "We bloomed like flowers that summer", which narrowly beat the Hong Kong version of "Social dating" by 114 votes, barely restoring its dignity. As for TVB, the "News Queen" with the highest number of votes has only 673 votes, far less than other ViuTV shows in the top five.
The winner of the Leap Progress male artist is Lu Hanting, a popular member of MIRROR. Netizens in Hong Kong believe that although he has become the best TV actor for three years in a row, his progress on the basis of a high level every year is still visible to the naked eye and deserves to win the Progress Award. In addition, there are no TVB actors in the top five.
The winner of the Leap Progress female artist is Hannah Chen, who starred in ViuTV's Hong Kong version of "dating within the Society". She beat other actresses of ViuTV series by hundreds of votes. In this award, TVB did not have any actresses in the final competition.
The award for best TV song was won by Lu Hanting, a popular member of MIRROR. Hong Kong netizens believe that his concert's "Special date ceremony" is more touching and better than other ViuTV songs. TVB has no songs to make it into the top five.
As for variety information programs, ViuTV won all the awards.
"MIRRORtime" hosted by MIRROR won the best variety show, ahead of the other four TV shows on the list.
Gu Dezhao's ViuTV talk show "Breaking Valley week" won the best information program, while TVB's trump card "look around" received only a pitiful 460 votes.
The best host award was won by MIRROR, whose hosting skills are considered to be ahead of other colleagues in the top four.
There is no doubt that the result is controversial. After all, TVB won two awards by a narrow margin. According to the normal voting and earlier voting trend, ViuTV should have won all of them. The editor believes that the reason for this phenomenon is that the organizers do not want the results to be too one-sided, making their own award ceremony like ViuTV fans entertaining themselves. Although Fang shows his relatives ViuTV with civilization and frequently posts these days to prove that he has been entering to support MIRROR concerts, at least he is a literati, and he still has to face.
However, as a TVB fan, every time I saw Fang Yiwen solemnly put TVB artists and works into the selection, especially this time she also pulled out the hype, claiming that she had achieved "four-material" and "post-visual Grand Slam" achievements after winning her own award, and then congratulated Lu Han on his three-game winning streak, as if the achievement was so great and rich, he thought it was very funny.
In fact, TVB and She Shiman didn't need him to give awards for affirmation. Instead, he needed TVB and She Shiman to be selected and get the awards for pretense. Only in this way could ViuTV achieve its goal of winning more valuable awards.
