Does that mean Chen plans to stay in the running because of his supporters?<\/p>\n

Turns out, Chen had actually given his stance on the topic during an interview with Zaobao three years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When asked for his view on whether he should withdraw from the awards, he explained at the time: \u201cThe company has their own plans and standpoints. You can\u2019t withdraw just because you were nominated and didn\u2019t win, or because you keep winning. Unless it\u2019s like the Most Popular Artiste award, where the company specifies that after 10 wins you can\u2019t be nominated again, I must respect the company\u2019s system.”<\/p>\n

He added: “If other actors stopped after winning several awards, then who would compete in the future?\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, some netizens believe that Chen should \u201cstep aside\u201d to give younger artistes a chance to shine, while others have continued to express disappointment that they won\u2019t get to see what they were hoping would be a showdown between Chen and Xie after all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
