292. After the king is crowned

PS: Thanks to Long Ming for his 588 tip!!

"The nominees for Best Screenplay are Lu Chuan - "Ke Ke Xili", Yin Li - "Zhang Side", Ma Liwen - "The Two of Us", Ye Sumang - "If? Love. ”

With the sound of the emcee's announcement, several film clips of the nominated scripts also appeared on the big screen in the stage background, and finally appeared "What If? Love", the audience immediately burst into warm applause.

"This popularity, tsk ......" Sitting in the audience, Lu Chuan, who was also shortlisted for the best screenwriter, glanced at the excited audience behind him, and couldn't help but sigh with the people next to him.

"Yes, the box office of 300 million is not a favorite of fans, I have to say, this movie is really good enough." As the executive director of "Ho Ho Xili", Zhao Yihui also showed admiration on his face, and at the same time applauded softly with the audience.

What if? The achievements of "Love" are a miracle in the mainland, and the box office of 300 million is still as dazzling as a miracle in the ears of many filmmakers, otherwise Ye Sumang would not have been recognized as one of China's top directors by virtue of his age of 20, which is the most powerful guarantee for this achievement.

Ye Sumang was also clapping his hands at this time, smiling, and there was no nervousness on his face.

Sure enough, in the next announcement of the results, Ye Sumang won this 'Golden Rooster' without accident.

In a round of applause, Ye Sumang stepped onto the podium and took the Golden Rooster Trophy handed over by Chen Hao.

"I won the Best Screenplay Award again, which is the most category award I have ever won." Holding the Golden Rooster Trophy, Ye Sumang said with emotion: "But every time I take it, it is a very huge affirmation for me." ”

Ye Sumang's words are true, the most awards he has won in the past three years are the best screenplay.

In the envious and jealous applause at the scene, Ye Sumang put the Golden Rooster Trophy on the podium. Holding the podium with both hands, he looked at all the filmmakers in the audience seriously, and continued: "My grandfather is also an old filmmaker, and I remember he once said that if a movie is compared to a building, then the script is the cornerstone. The staff is in charge of the construction work, the actors are the faΓ§ade, the director is the designer, and the audience of Zuihou will be the residents. ”

Everyone who said Ye Sumang was very curious, what he was trying to say.

"I don't know if anyone has built a building, but I do know that a foundation can't be built on a building, even if it is beautifully built, it is only surface work. And it is very likely that it will be wiped out in a shock, and only when the foundation is firmly laid, this building may become a classic that will not fall for a hundred years! And the same is true for the script. ”

"At present, there is a phenomenon in the Chinese film industry, it seems that some investors think that fighting actors and investing will create a blockbuster, I just want to say one word to them, !! wrong" Ye Sumang stretched out a finger and shook it disdainfully. In the surprised eyes of everyone, he said loudly: "The real blockbuster is not how grand the scenes you shoot are, nor how expensive the actors you use." It's the story it tells that can touch your heart, that's a real blockbuster, and only this kind of heartfelt movie can win the hearts of fans. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Sumang slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "There is so much nonsense, in fact, it is just because I saw a report before. A screenwriter has no choice but to change to selling barbecue on the street because of his low salary, and those who have no intention will feel funny when they hear it, and those who have a heart will feel pity, but I want to say that this is a common phenomenon in the circle.

Except for a few of the most famous screenwriters. The rest are all struggling on the boundary between life and survival, and sometimes they are even forced by the pressure of money, and have no choice but to modify their beloved works to cater to the tastes of investors.

We can catch up, and we will increase our investment, but excellent script creation requires a long-term cumulative process.

Therefore, I hereby propose to improve the treatment of screenwriters and pay attention to the script, which is the key to the rapid development of Chinese films! ”

Ye Sumang's long speech took up a full five minutes, although the chairman of the committee rang the clock, but no one dared to stand up to stop Ye Sumang's speech, until Ye Sumang finished speaking, the audience was also silent.

Ten seconds later, when Ye Sumang had already walked back to his seat, there was a sudden burst of earth-shattering applause!!

Although the influence of the Golden Rooster Award is weak and the credibility is not strong, his selection criteria at that time were indeed completely artistic, and those purely commercial films could not enter the final list of nominees at all, so they also quite agreed with Ye Sumang's statement that he should not blindly pursue famous actors and big productions.

In fact, real filmmakers also understand the importance of the script, even the actor will read the script first when taking a movie, rather than looking at the investment and who co-starred, only those who blindly pursue the effect of money will only pay attention to the superficial things.

And the most touching group of people in Ye Sumang's speech were the screenwriters on the scene.

Unlike Europe and the United States, screenwriters in China are always at a disadvantage, their scripts will be tampered with by the director at will, and their speeches are often ignored by investors, as if their existence is to make up a story, and then sell the copyright to end.

They actually have a lot of their own excellent ideas that they want to join in the movie, and because the creation of the script begins with these screenwriters, their grasp of the plot is often clearer than that of the director, but unfortunately their identity and status are destined to be difficult for them to affect the filming work of the crew.

Nowhere is this unfair treatment more evident than in the area of remuneration.

Many screenwriters' scripts are basically around 10,000 yuan, and novices are even lower, and it often takes months or even more than a year to create a script, and this income is obviously not enough for the screenwriter's life in large and medium-sized cities, and in comparison, a supporting role in a movie can get tens of thousands of yuan in salary, and what he paid may only be ten days.

In Europe and the United States, a haode screenwriter can even get a dividend from the film Zuihou, but in Huaxia, as long as the script is sold, the quality of the movie Zuihou basically has nothing to do with the screenwriter anymore, so Ye Sumang's words today undoubtedly touched their hearts.

In fact, the reason why Ye Sumang has such a speech that flatters the screenwriter. It also has its own purpose.

He knew very well that this speech would inevitably cause controversy in tomorrow's newspaper, but what he had paid and gained would also satisfy Ye Sumang.

His speech is to first stand up for the interests of screenwriters, win this first prize, and win a good impression for himself in the screenwriter group, although Ye Sumang's own movies and TV series do not need other screenwriters to intervene. However, if the world film and television company wants to develop, it must choose more excellent scripts.

Ye Sumang's speech, in fact, the ultimate purpose is also to consider the company's future development, of course, if a few excellent screenwriters can be recruited, it will be a surprise.

In the following awards ceremony, not surprisingly, the best music was also won by "If? Love" won.

Because of the two song and dance films, the name of Ye Sumang's soundtrack master is also confirmed, and he deserves to be on the podium to win this trophy at this time.

And then the directorial debut trophy was won by a young director from Tibet, Wanma Tsedan. His work "The Quiet Mani Stone" truly records the life of a pair of lamas and fathers, and truly records the lonely life in Tibet.

As his acceptance speech said, he just wanted to make a true story about his hometown.

Immediately after that, the best documentary was won by "Into Mao? Zedong" won, and the best art film was awarded to "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", but what made Ye Sumang find strange and funny was that another best art direction award was awarded to the art director of another film called "Letter from a Strange Woman".

And after the Best TV Movie was won by the crew of "Us", the highlight is also coming, but before that, the organizing committee has managed to find the indispensable Lifetime Achievement Award. Won by the famous directors Xie Jin and Xie Tieli respectively.

Looking at the acceptance speeches delivered by the older generation of artists on the stage, the emotional speech made Ye Sumang's heart tremble. He is well aware of the love of these older generation artists for films, and in that era there was not so much glitz and glamour as it is now, and they made films more with pure enthusiasm and dedication to art.

This kind of spirit is also worthy of Ye Sumang's admiration, so when he finally applauded, Ye Sumang clapped his hands with sincerity for the first time.

And the whole awards party. It's finally to the point.

The award for Best Actor is coming soon.

At this moment, Zhang Xueyou, who was still full of relaxation just now, couldn't help but become serious, and so did Cheng Long on the side, perhaps because of the special nature of this session, that the two HK actors present attached great importance to and looked forward to this award.

"Brother Xueyou. I'm going to prepare for the Best Actress award in a while, so I'm leaving, come on, I'm sure you'll win. "Ye Sumang will appear as the guest of honor for Best Actress in a while, so he can't wait here to look forward to the result with everyone.

Zhang Xueyou pursed her lips a little dry nervously, and then said: "It's okay, I'm lucky, I'm not nervous if I lose my life." ”

Hearing this, Ye Sumang couldn't help but look at Zhang Xueyou, who was already sweating profusely.

Obviously, this sentence is really wrong.

Ye Sumang's departure in the middle of the process undoubtedly put more pressure on Zhang Xueyou, although Ye Sumang is very young, but the talent and ability he showed in the crew have long made Zhang Xueyou regard him as the backbone, and his departure has undoubtedly made the Academy Award actor even more troubled and lost.

"Wipe your sweat." Zhou Wei also noticed Zhang Xueyou's abnormality, and handed over a pack of tissues with concern.

β€œxiexie。” Zhang Xueyou took out a tissue to wipe his sweat, and suddenly found that one was not enough, so he had to take out another one, and at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out beside him, Zhang Xueyou was stunned, only to find out that it was Cheng Long.

"Qizai, give me two too." Cheng Long also had a layer of sweat floating on his head at this time.

Zhang Xueyou saw Cheng Long's appearance, and somehow the tension in his heart eased a lot, and after handing over the tissue, he felt that his heartbeat didn't seem to be so fast, and he seemed to be able to face the next result calmly.

The guests who presented the awards were Tang Guoqiang, who had just won the Best Supporting Actor, and first-line actress Li Bing.

"Now I declare that the winner of Best Actor is ........."

Accompanied by the sound of passionate music, Tang Guoqiang opened the list in his hand and announced loudly: "Cheng Long......"

As soon as the name came out. Cheng Long's expression instantly showed surprise, while Zhang Xueyou, who was in contrast, was gray, although he didn't care, but when the result was announced, he found that his heart was still very painful and very concerned.

But before the pain in his heart could subside. I heard Li Bing's voice ringing immediately after: "Zhang Xueyou!! ”

"Ah???h Zhang Xueyou was stunned, and even Cheng Long, who was celebrating, was stunned.

On the contrary, Ye Sumang, who was standing in the background and was preparing to present the award, smiled bitterly, it seems that the jury of the Golden Rooster Award is going to play double yolk eggs again.

This can be regarded as a feature of the Chinese Film Awards, there are always 'double yolk eggs', which is also the reason why the credibility of the Weishenme Golden Rooster Awards is always inferior to the Academy Awards and the Golden Horse Awards.

But no matter what, the two HK actors have achieved their wishes, although there are some small disappointments, but it is better than nothing.

It's just that the two always feel less excited when they take the stage to deliver their acceptance speeches. There is more humility and embarrassment.

The good haode competition scene was instantly harmonious.

Ye Sumang looked at the list of Best Actress winners in his hand, praying that there would be no double yolk eggs again.

"What's wrong, Director Ye?" At this moment, a crisp female voice sounded in Ye Sumang's ears, it was Zhang Ziyi, the female guest who presented the award with him this time.

This time, the organizers of the Golden Rooster Awards are also extremely attentive, and they have selected such an award presenter who can match the identity of Ye Sumang, you must know that this year's "2046" starring the actress has also won many awards, and it is rumored that she has been absorbed by the Oscar Organizing Committee as one of the judges next year. As a domestic actress, she is definitely the top one.

"Nothing. Just thinking about something. Ye Sumang smiled and replied.

Zhang Ziyi nodded politely and didn't ask any more questions, even though she was already known as an international female star, but in front of Ye Sumang, a great director, she still felt very pressured, so that her behavior was a lot more restrained.

Soon it was the turn of the award for Best Actress. Ye Sumang, who was wearing a black suit, was wearing a purple dress and Zhang Ziyi, who was slowly coming to the front desk.

"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Sumang (Zhang Ziyi)."

The appearance of the two was undoubtedly a climax of the night, and with the warm applause, Ye Sumang also began to prepare a few small questions that he had been preparing for a long time.

"Ziyi. As a person who once won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, do you remember how you felt when you won the award? ”

"Of course." After admitting it, Zhang Ziyi recalled and seemed to be very moved and said: "The mood is very surging, you know, it seems that the most joyful thing happened to me." ”

"I think it must have been a wonderful experience." Ye Sumang said with a timely smile.

"The heroes and heroines of a film are undoubtedly the soul of the whole comedy, and their performances also determine the judging criteria for the character and even the quality of the play, and this award in my hand is undoubtedly the most positive for many female leading actors, now let's take a look at the list of nominees."

With Ye Sumang's words, the big screen behind him immediately reported the nomination for Best Actress.

Li Bing - "Waiting Alone", Zhang Jingchu - "The Bride with a Flower Waist", Mei Ting - "Aspirin", Jin Yaqin - "The Two of Us", Zhou Wei - "If? Love.

Five nominations, except for Jin Yaqin, who is not very famous, the rest are all well-known actors in China, especially Zhou Wei, tonight's awards ceremony, except for Zhang Ziyi, who is standing next to Ye Sumang, she is the most dazzling existence, especially at this moment She is still on the nomination list, at the moment when her name was just pronounced, the cheers on the scene were obviously much higher than those of other nominated female stars.

When Ye Sumang was playing the nominated movie clip on the screen, he secretly looked under the stage and found that Zhou Jing's expression still looked a little lonely, not as nervous and cramped as the rest of the actresses.

In this regard, Ye Sumang sighed in his heart, but some feelings will only hurt more if they are not cut off.

At this moment, Zhang Ziyi beside her had already opened the list that Zuihou had received, and looking at the names inside, Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but glance at Ye Sumang, who was beside her, and even this glance instantly exposed the winner of Zuihou.

Zhou Wei, "What If? Love"

Whoop――――――――!!!!

The applause and cheers at the scene were thunderous, Zhou Wei's popularity in the mainland was undoubtedly highlighted, and at this time, Zhou Jing, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help but raise his head in surprise after hearing his name, looking at Ye Sumang on the stage and smiling at her gently, I didn't know Weishenme, and tears couldn't help but fall.

It took just over a year for this boy to get her two actresses, and she was completely put on the throne of China's top actresses, she was grateful, admired, and loved him deeply, but unfortunately tonight, it seems that this heart can only be hidden deep in her heart.

With tears in his eyes, Zhou Wei walked onto the stage, took the trophy from Ye Sumang's hand, and stared at the other party for a long time before coming to the podium to prepare his acceptance speech.

"Thank you to the judges of the Golden Rooster Award for recognizing me and awarding me this trophy, and thank you for "What If? Friends of the crew of "Love", it was your help that made me have a good state during the filming, and I would like to thank one person here, that is, the director who stood next to me, Ye Sumang. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Wei suddenly left the podium and walked to Ye Sumang's side, and in everyone's surprised eyes, she boldly stood on tiptoe and kissed Ye Sumang's cheek gently.

"Su Mang, Xiexie, you ......" (to be continued......)
