Chapter 39: Best Screenplay Award

After the award for Best International Film was awarded, the sub-heavyweight technical award was awarded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The best soundtrack was still won by "Saturn at opposition".

Now the two blockbusters can be tied.

As for "Five Poison Gates", it is not even nominated at all, after all, not only are famous composers, but they are all performed by symphony orchestras. In comparison, although the composition of "Five Poisons" is good, after all, the pattern is too small and relatively simple, and it can't win an award.

The performance of several alto graduates, that is, the Dynasty Orchestra, can they be compared to the symphony orchestra?

The cost of the soundtrack is far from the same.

The best editing finally fell to someone else, and was unexpectedly won by a low-budget horror film "Seeing the Day". The cake is given to others for a total score, and the sci-fi fantasy genre films each have double awards, at least one should be given to horror films. The awards can't all be shared by the two major entertainment groups of Hanhai and Longxiang, and small companies must also win awards and encourage them.

However, listening to the host's introduction, Zhou Yi felt that this award was still very fair.

Like "Saturn Opposition" and "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", it is not about editing as a selling point, there is no need to show off your skills, you can just push it honestly, and it is hard power. The editing techniques of these two films are relatively ordinary, so naturally they can't win awards.

Of course, the editing techniques of "Five Poisons" are also very ordinary, and they can't win awards.

But the editing of "Seeing the Day" is very powerful, it is not the perfect cycle of show-off skills, and it does not use all kinds of sharp cuts, focusing on long shots, it is estimated that this has been appreciated by the judges, and winning the award makes sense.

Zhou Yi knows that the Saturn Awards in the United States in his previous life are also like this, since there was an award for best editing, the awards are either long shots like "Gravity", or the perfect loop like "Edge of Tomorrow", or the sharp editing of "Mission Impossible 4", or the dazzling and chaotic editing of "Cloud Atlas" that makes you dizzy. It is the same in China today.

If you want to win an award, mediocrity is often not enough.

The one who won the award is not necessarily the best, but it is certainly one of the best, so you can't find fault with it.

Next up is the award for Best Art Direction.

Although Rong Lao of "Five Poisons" is very good, he still has no drama, limited by the cost of the film, and he can't play any tricks.

It costs a lot of money to play art, how can you get the best if you don't have money?

This award was still awarded to "Saturn at opposition", the artistic design of science fiction films is very cheap, and it is normal to win the award.

At this time, everyone in Zhengdong Company became a little nervous, because the following award has something to do with Zhengdong.

The Best Screenwriter Award is a relatively important award, and it is presented before the Best Newcomer Award. Zhou Yi's "Five Poison Gate" was nominated for this award, and it is estimated that this is the only cult script at this year's Saturn Awards, and Dumiao will definitely be more valued.

However, Zhou Yi was a little entangled in his heart.

Listening to Liang Mofeng's previous meaning, the Best Newcomer Award should be no problem, then the Best Screenwriter may be hanging. Could it be that the Saturn Awards will award both awards to Zhengdong's small-budget films? Other companies don't have enough points! Why are there so many awards for small-budget films?

From this point of view, "Five Poison Gates" is no drama.

In case "Five Poisons" really wins the Best Screenwriter Award, can the Best Newcomer still get it?

Zhou Yi didn't believe that he would win a double award.

So he was reluctant to get this award, because he felt that this award was not important to him, and it was not as good as the best newcomer award. Because his main business is not a screenwriter, he attaches more importance to professional performance awards, even if it is the best newcomer award.

But if you can really get the best screenwriter and the best newcomer, it will be even more ideal. The award is not pressing, but it is just a matter of thinking.

In an instant, Zhou Yi's mind was racing, and when he thought of this, his heart was naturally entangled.

It is estimated that the people in the company are also very entangled, do they want this award?

Can this still be picky? It's nice to get a prize.

Wu Xue, the host on the stage, has already begun to follow the script step by step and said: "Mr. Shi, the films nominated for the Best Screenplay Award at our Saturn Awards this time are indeed very powerful and competitive. For example, the sci-fi film "Saturn at Sun" starring Mr. Liang, as well as the fantasy film "Havoc in Heaven" directed by Shi Da, as well as the sci-fi film "Time Machine", the horror film "Seeing the Day", and the action thriller "Five Poison Gate" written by newcomer Zhou Yi are excellent masterpieces of cult scripts, which are very strange and exciting. ”

Shi Qian smiled approvingly: "Not bad! The scripts nominated this time are both seniors and newcomers, orthodox scripts and cult scripts. ”

"Which film is Mr. Shi optimistic about winning the script?"

"It's really hard to choose. From the perspective of promoting newcomers and supporting minorities, of course I hope that newcomers will win awards, and of course I hope that cults will win awards. Supporting the minority is the consistent standard of our Saturn Awards, and everyone understands this. We don't support the minority, who supports the minority? But many seniors have not won this award, and it is inevitable that there are some regrets. As far as the script is concerned, it is difficult to clearly distinguish between the superior and the inferior, it can only depend on luck. ”

"Teacher Shi is right. So let's take a look at the big screen first and enjoy the highlights of a few films. ”

On the big screen, some simple clips start playing, all very brief, just about a minute.

A clip played in "Five Poison Gates" is Zheng Zilong's inner monologue.

This scene is indeed the essence of the script. The judges are very good at picking.

Zhou Yi didn't know if he could win the award, so he could only keep looking forward to it in his heart. In his opinion, it is no drama for "Havoc in Heaven" to win this award, how can the script be won like that? It's not bad to be treated by traditional people who are definitely not subject to awards, give you a few technical awards, comfort the big director, and I want to win the script award, dreaming! Where are the other screenwriters?

Hanhai's "Time Machine" is very unsatisfactory at the box office, although it was nominated, it is estimated to be no play. With such a big investment, you can't even do the box office of "Five Poisons", and you still want to win awards, isn't that a joke? At the Saturn Awards, he was crushed all the way by "Saturn Opposition", which is also a science fiction film, and he couldn't get anything, and he was doomed to nothing, and it was really pitiful to accompany him.

So the real opponents of "Five Poison Gates" are "Saturn at opposition" and "Invisible Day".

In the face of the pattern of two-day competition, whether "Five Poison Gate" can break out of the encirclement depends on luck.

It is not easy to snatch the best screenwriter from the powerful "Saturn opposition".

But it's not impossible.

After all, the Best Screenplay Award looks at the level of the screenwriter, and it has nothing to do with the size of the investment.

The investment is mainly spent on special effects, and it is impossible to spend it on screenwriting.

However, the box office of other people's films is so high, which is three times the box office of "Five Poisons", removing the influence of actors and directors, at least it shows that people's scripts must be passable, otherwise it is impossible to have a high box office. Now it depends on what the judges think, will they divide the cake into one point, whether to win a film, or let the benefits be shared equally? Is it to support the old screenwriter to realize his dream, or to promote the popular newcomer? The other party is an old screenwriter who wants to win an award, which is an advantage, but in terms of popularity, it can't be compared with a popular new star like Zhou Yi, it is estimated that not many fans will deliberately pay attention to who the screenwriter is, even if the screenwriter is famous, it will be hidden under Liang Mofeng's superstar halo. And Zhou Yi is different, he is a potential new star, is the Saturn Award willing to form a good relationship in advance and pull a relationship?

If you want to invite someone to attend the Saturn Awards ceremony in the future, are you willing to invite a popular new star like Zhou Yi, or are you willing to invite an old screenwriter who is not popular? The Saturn Awards also have action awards, and Zhou Yi is recognized as a future action superstar in the industry.

Is this something to consider?

In the case of similar scripts, it depends on what the judges of the sci-fi, fantasy, and horror associations think.

They always have to think about the future development of the Saturn Award!

Zhou Yi's mind was racing, and he could naturally think of these things, and he was quite looking forward to it. At this point, I don't want to worry about those tangled things. It's a good thing to get an award. Take one first, why bother thinking about it?

At this point, all the movie clips on the big screen have been played.

The host Wu Xue said: "Next, I will invite our award presenter, director Shi Bibao, to appear. ”

Zhou Yiting was surprised, it was actually Director Shi Bibao who presented the award in person? He is the director of "Havoc in Heaven", and he still has to participate in the competition! He went on stage to present awards to screenwriters, is it really good? But no matter what, the little tearing treasure has made its debut from the background.

In fact, Shi Bibao, the "little tearing treasure", is not young, of course he looks younger than director Xu Qianye, but he is not really a young man, he should have long passed the age of tearing, but his dress is indeed trendy and fashionable in the director circle.

And Spibberg is of mixed race, with a background in the Boston consortium in the United States and white Jewish ancestry in the West. His appearance is indeed relatively handsome, at least in the director's circle, he is very tall and handsome, and extraordinary.

At this time, Shi Bibao chatted with the two hosts on the stage and was very personable.

"Director Shi, which of the above films do you think is most likely to win the award?" Shi Qian asked first.

"If you want me to choose, I choose "Five Poisons"." With Shi Bibao's identity, of course, there is no need to lie and be outspoken. People who dare to tear apart are generally more straightforward, otherwise he would not accuse Nalan Xuefei of acting skills.

"Huh? Why? You definitely don't want your competitors to win a prize. Wu Xue was obviously joking.

"It's not! No! Shi Bibao waved his hand again and again, "It has nothing to do with that." I think that an excellent cult script like "Five Poisons" is rare in the industry, and it should be supported. Other scripts are just like that, not particularly prominent, not winning with scripts. ”

"Where's your Havoc in Heaven?" Wu Xue asked.

"You see, when I was invited to be the guest of honor, my heart was cold. I said to my old buddy, don't expect to win awards, how can a director give an award to his own screenwriter? It's definitely not a joke. I don't have hope anymore. "Shi Bibao is very shrewd, of course, he will avoid the important and trivial, and obscure the past. He is a small tearing treasure, not a big stupid (forced) treasure, and he will not have a big mouth at all times.

Wu Xue naturally doesn't care about herself.

"Haha! All right! Let's ask our director Spiber to reveal the final answer. ”

Shi Bibao smiled slightly, picked up the envelope in his hand, opened it directly, opened it to take a look, and announced loudly to the audience: "As expected, "Five Poison Gate", invite our youngest classmate Zhou Yi to the stage." ”

"Coax!" Zhengdong's side immediately became lively, but I didn't expect Zhou Yizhen to win the important award of "Best Screenwriter".

All the crews in the audience applauded politely.

Popularity overcomes fame, this is no way to do it. For the sake of future development, the Saturn Award still made a small compromise. Besides, the cult script is a lone seedling after all, and it is normal to support it. If someone is not convinced, you can go and win the Golden Dragon Award and the Huabiao Award for Best Screenplay to see if you can get it. One of the principles of the Saturn Award is to encourage and support scripts in the horror and thriller genre, and the cult genre is one of them, and it should be encouraged.

Zhou Yi happily high-fived and celebrated with his colleagues in the company.

Tang Yan also gave her brother a small hug.

Then Zhou Yicai walked along the passage and appeared on stage.

It is estimated that the Caizi Group can be satisfied, at least the Caizi formal wear can be officially unveiled on the stage, and the spokesperson is indeed well chosen. It seems to be easy not to look at this kind of thing, but ordinary stars don't have much chance. The previous technical awards were all behind-the-scenes people, and there was no endorsement brand at all. How many stars can be on stage to receive awards? Zhou Yi participated for the first time, and he was able to appear in a talented formal suit, but he couldn't have done better. Even if you invite a first-line celebrity to endorse, it may not have this effect, it depends on luck.

Like Zhao Yanqin to attend the Golden Sour Plum Award, what is the significance of the endorsed brand? No matter how big the coffee table is, it's useless.
