Chapter 930: Best Adapted Screenplay
In the following awards, the Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Mix, Best Makeup and Best Costume Design were all won by the "Lord of the Rings" crew.
The most surprising thing for viewers and fans is that until now, none of the "Lord of the Rings" have failed, as long as all the nominees have won that award.
Now that he's won five events, he'll only need one or two more to surpass Leila's "Chicago" at the Oscars.
There are still six nominations, will they not be able to get one or two? Countless people's hearts have been lifted.
"Screenwriters play a very important role in the film, but unfortunately their role is underestimated a lot of the time. The strike that has just ended makes this clear. "The guest will present the award for the best adapted screenplay, and when it comes to the script, it is necessary to talk about the screenwriter, and when it comes to the screenwriter, it is necessary to mention the screenwriters' strike that caused a lot of trouble not long ago.
In this strike, there are too few people in Hollywood and the American entertainment industry who have not been affected. People who are slightly more famous have been affected to a greater or lesser extent. So this time, when awarding awards related to screenwriters, the guests invited more heavyweights.
"Let's see which five brilliant screenwriters give us a great visual feast. They are Paul Thomas Anderson, "The Blood Is Coming," Christopher Hampton's "Atonement," the Coen Brothers' "No Country for Old Men," Leila Moran's "The Lord of the Rings III: The Return of the King," and Ronald Harwood's "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." ”
The award presenters read their names one by one, and each time they read one, the audience will give very warm applause. Of course, there was no such treatment before, but who made the screenwriters out of the limelight this year? At least recently, I believe that no one will be too harsh on screenwriters.
Roy glanced at the people who had been named, a little calm, some smiling, some slightly nervous, his eyes fixed on the envelope in the hands of the award presenters.
Feeling by this atmosphere, his breathing also became slightly rapid. As the presenters said, this award has not received much attention. Unless the editor himself has a high topicality, the audience doesn't care who wrote the script for the movie, they pay more attention to the star director.
But he still hopes that Leila can get this award, and people outside will not know, but he knows it very well. She probably had to think for a long time for a word in a sentence, and in the days when she was writing the script, she often did something else and was still thinking about how to write the script, and she often left what she was doing to open the document to change a word that suddenly felt inappropriate.
It's the same when shooting, often patting, suddenly picking up a pen and writing and drawing on the script, just to make the effect of the movie achieve the best effect.
Although he doesn't know what other screenwriters are like, in the crews he has experienced, the screenwriters he has seen have never done what she did.
With such seriousness, doesn't she deserve an award for Best Adapted Screenplay?
"At the 80th Academy Awards, the winner of the Best Adapted Screenplay is ......" The presenters unveiled the mystery in the music and with some people waiting with bated breath: "Leila Moran, The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King!"
Hearing her name, fans screamed excitedly for the first time. As everyone knows, this time she was nominated for three nominations alone, namely adapted script, film editing and directing. Now that she has made a good start, does it mean that the highest award for directors is also one step closer to her?
Leila walked onto the podium to the applause of the guests at the scene. When she came up, she saw the slightly disappointed eyes of the other nominees, but the reality is like this, there is competition to develop, don't you see a mother who even fails to succeed?
These nominated writers, whether it is the first time or the only time in their lives, can only say that they are too unlucky in the face of a troublesome opponent like Leila.
But at the same time, it can be said that it is much better to accept defeat under Leila than defeat to others. Don't look at her age than most of the people here, but there are not many achievements in movies that can match her.
One day in the future, when they talk about it, they can proudly say that they were once only one step away from that award, but unfortunately they met Hollywood legend Leila Moran, and they returned home. In that case, it sounds a little more handsome than being beaten by just someone who is not very famous, right?
Taking over the little golden figure from the hands of the award presenters, Leila stood in front of the podium, feeling a little agitated.
"It is an honor for me to receive this award. The Lord of the Rings is a very great work, and in the book I saw a magical and real world. It's a big shame that I used three parts to tell this story, because so many wonderful and grand scenes can't be described in such a short space. ”
"When I was writing the adaptation, I was anxious about which scenes to add to the script and which to give up. Fortunately, my adaptation is still good, and Oscar proved it for me with its trophy. ”
The audience chuckled at her words. No one would deny her success, both at the box office and with the enthusiasm of her fans.
"The screenwriting's job is very hard, but it's also very exciting. I want to say to those who are still hesitant to write the story that attracts them in their hearts, a person's wonder is not really wonderful, let the world share your happiness. Thank you. ”
She raised the trophy in her hand and stepped off the stage.
"Congratulations, Leila. Roy hugged her: "You said it so well!" A person's wonderful is not really wonderful, he believes that tomorrow, no, maybe it will soon be circulated on the Internet and become a classic sentence.
Layla smiled, "I'm telling the truth. It may be fun to adapt someone else's work, but I still like original stories. ”
"Like the ones you used to have?"
Roy was talking about the movies she had made before, weren't those that she had written and directed?
But for Leila, those are not original, they are just written with the golden finger of rebirth. In her heart, she hopes that one day she can shoot her own original script, just like the only one she wrote in her previous life. She desperately needs a real victory to prove that she can already be a real director on her own!
It's a pity that now is not the time, and her current status does not allow her to do too willful things. She represents the face of the Moran family, as well as the dragon soul and the immortal bird, even for those who follow her to eat, she can't be too willful.
