According to QQ , the topic of Best Actress (Best Actress) at the White Magnolia Awards has been a subject of much discussion and debate among Chinese audiences in recent days. Many believe that Yang Zi's win was unconvincing to the public due to weaknesses in her performance in the drama "The Tree of Life ." Furthermore, the fact that actresses born in 1985, such as Zhao Liying, Yang Mi, Liu Yifei, and Tang Yan, did not win this award has also been a topic of discussion.
Notably, Zhao Liying has been nominated three times for Best Actress at the White Magnolia Awards. In 2024, with the drama "Wind Blows Through the Summer ," she successfully won the Best Actress awards at the Fei Tian and Golden Eagle Awards, only lacking a win at the White Magnolia Awards to achieve her goal of winning the three most important television awards in China.
QQ commented that Zhao Liying's performance in "Wind Blows Through the Summer" was outstanding, and the film's explosive success brought her both fame and recognition from a wide audience and critics. Her loss at the White Magnolia Awards was also surprising. Recently, insiders revealed that Zhao Liying's performance introduction used for the competition was swapped, leading audiences to suspect foul play.
Specifically, the production team of "Wind Blows Through Banxia" submitted a video for the competition from episode 23, featuring a captivating confrontation between Zhao Liying and her co-star, clearly showcasing the strength, independence, and forward-thinking nature of the character Xu Banxia. Zhao Liying's voice and expressions in this segment were highly praised. However, at the White Magnolia Award ceremony before the competition, the introductory scene of Zhao Liying's performance was changed to episode 12. This scene, showing her applying makeup, was rather ordinary and lacked the character's inner depth and explosive impact of the scene in episode 23.
According to QQ , the judges of the White Magnolia Awards couldn't actually watch all the entries from dozens of nominees. First, they would watch the video submitted by the film crew, as this would undoubtedly be the best, carefully selected scene. Then, if they felt interested and the nominee seemed promising, they would watch other scenes. With the replacement of her entry, Zhao Liying left a not-so-good impression from the start. Furthermore, the incident of the video being replaced wasn't revealed until 2026.
Furthermore, the media also revisited images of Zhao Liying at the awards ceremony, where, upon watching her character introduction clip, she immediately showed surprise and displeasure. Perhaps the actress realized that her competition entry clip had been swapped.
In 2026, although Zhao Liying did not have any films competing for the White Magnolia Award, topics about her continued to receive significant attention from the audience, with over 100 million views. Many viewers expressed outrage at the award organizers' decision to arbitrarily replace Zhao Liying's nomination video. This was seen as disrespectful to the artist and an attempt to manipulate the results.
Many viewers are disappointed that current Chinese awards lack fairness, favoring a select group of artists, with results seemingly predetermined. For example, at the 2026 White Magnolia Awards, actor Dong Yong stated that he received news of winning the Best Supporting Actor award the night before the ceremony. Some websites also posted congratulatory messages to Yang Zi for winning the Best Actress award prematurely, even before the awards ceremony had concluded.
At the Hundred Flowers Awards, Shen Teng, the "king of the box office," has consistently had outstanding films that generated massive box office revenue for many years, yet he has always been excluded from nominations, even receiving zero votes directly from the judges at one point. The public is outraged because Shen Teng not only possesses solid and charming acting skills but is also a name that attracts audiences to theaters—meeting all the criteria for the Hundred Flowers Awards—yet he has been treated coldly for many years.
On the other hand, some young stars, such as Li Gengxi, Yang Zi, and Dilraba Dilmurat, who are said to have powerful backing and be protected by influential people, receiving awards has sparked much controversy.
