Among the three major film awards in the mainland of the Celestial Empire, there is a very interesting phenomenon.

Before 2014, whether it was the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers or Huabiao Awards, there were no awards such as best editing in their award settings.

In the Xiangjiang Film Awards and the Treasure Island Film Golden Horse Awards, there is an award for the best editing.

In fact, the emergence of this situation is also related to the long-term lack of attention to the position of editor in the industry.

When a good movie is seen, the audience will praise the actors' performances, the screenwriter's ability to tell the story, and the director for making a good shot, but rarely or never praise the editor.

In his previous life, Li Mo once heard a joke in the crew, talking about Mai Zishan, an editing master known as 'Xiangjiang's No. 1 Scissorhands', when chatting with a certain king-level star backstage at a certain Xiangjiang Film Awards, he was very surprised to find that although this guy was invited to present the 'Best Editing' award, even the award-presenters themselves couldn't figure out what kind of significance the film editor had to the movie.

This situation is also related to the bad habit of passing on skills in the editor industry.

In the past, in the film industry, editors were all masters and apprentices, not only the scope of teaching was small, but even if the master was capable, there was no guarantee that the apprentices who taught could rely on the art of editing to gain a foothold in the industry in the future, so over time, the industry generally did not care much about the editing industry, thinking that it was not a very professional industry at all.

At the Oscars in North America, the Best Editing award is often considered the bellwether for Best Picture, and the film that usually wins Best Editing has at least an 80% chance of winning Best Picture.

At the Golden Rooster Awards, the award of Best Adapted Screenplay, to a certain extent, has also been interpreted by many people as the vane of the two awards of Best Director and Best Feature Film.

…… Then again, it takes a good look to be able to see the direction of the best director and the best feature film from a Best Adapted Screenplay Award......

At the very least, Li Mo scoffed at this kind of argument.

You know, from the perspective of the entire film industry, the script is the first creation, the shooting is the second creation, and the editing is the third and most important creative process.

As long as there is enough material, editors have a huge room to play and edit a youth film into a thriller. Under the clever hand of the editor, a bad film may be rejuvenated, or a dull literary film may become suspenseful.

…… I've never heard that a script can determine the final outcome of a movie.

God knows if the guy who put forward this argument is deliberately making excuses for not setting the best editing award for domestic film awards......

However, after missing out on the Best Cinematography, Best Original Screenplay and Directorial Debut awards in a row, both Li Mo and Zong Shuai feel that there is an urgent need for an award to 'refresh themselves'.

Otherwise, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that before the award ceremony is over, there will be few awake people in the seating area of Molong Media.

…… For example, a cute person who shouted hungry just now, Li Mo saw her half-asleep before, so he deliberately talked to her, so as not to be too embarrassed when a camera swept over when he didn't know when.

……

Coincidentally, in the Wang brothers' seating area, Wang Zhonglei and Feng Gang are discussing what is about to be awarded the Best Adapted Screenplay Award.

The award ceremony has been going on for almost two and a half hours now, and "1942" produced by Wang's Group has only won two technical awards for best cinematography and best recording......

But in this situation, even if you are optimistic, you can't really be 'happy'.

"Gangzi, here's the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, I heard that thing is the vane of Best Director and Best Feature Film, is that true?"

Wang Zhonglei is now in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he actually ran to ask Feng Gang with such a question.

He also didn't want to think about it, the last time Feng Gang was recognized by the judges, it had been several years since now, how could he remember if he won any adapted script awards last time he won the award.

Besides, Feng Gang will be under great pressure because of the bad box office of the movie, if it is Wang Zhongjun who comes today, he may be able to rely on his long-term financier and friends to make Feng Gang consider before speaking, but in the face of Wang Zhonglei, a 'little brother' who is a round younger than him......

…… Feng Gang felt that he still had a great advantage.

"Hmph...... I don't know which fool came from, "Although the light is not very good, I can't see the expression on Feng Gang's face clearly, but the ridicule and ridicule in his tone are still clearly expressed, "What is the quality of the movie, it's the director, the credit for the post-editing, what does it have to do with the script......"

"Zhong Lei, I didn't say you," after complaining, Feng Gang seemed to have no intention of stopping at all, and continued to speak, "You, don't go around the company's female stars all day long, and improve your ability in film production when you have time, you look at Li Mo, his age is enough for your son, and his mind is spent on movies and work......"

Under the dim light, Feng Gang didn't notice that from the time he mentioned the name Li Mo, Wang Zhonglei's face directly changed from red to iron......

The steel cannon is strong, and it is terrifying!

Not only is he a good hand when he hits others, but when he targets his own people, his firepower is also not weak......

However, he just asked a word, and the result was Feng Gang's 'no reason' counted, Wang Zhonglei was still a little sensible, trying to control the muscles on his face, and did not have a seizure on the spot, but deep in his heart, there was a thought that was uncontrollable and was growing wildly.

"Feng Gang who went to Tamar's "1942" and Tamar, if it wasn't for our brothers who lent you money to make a movie, would you have the scenery you have today?"

"Now that you are a little famous, you actually tremble and dare to teach labor and management?"

"What do I have to do with you when I have an affair with a female celebrity?"

"Labor and management didn't touch your wife...... Uh, no, just like your wife, labor and management can't talk about it......"

"Labor and management ask you, it's not that I'm worried about you, since you are shameless, then why do labor and management care about your life or death?"

"Labor and management wish you a grain tonight!"

I don't know if a certain god in the dark heard Wang Zhonglei's desire, and the lottery guests on the stage just announced the results of the award at this time.

The winner of the Best Adapted Screenplay Award at the 29th Golden Rooster Awards is: Li Mo - "Get Out, Tumor". ”
