Chapter 343: Best Editing

Although Xiao Ran worked very hard to manage the movie series "Storm and Clouds", and gave the best schedule of the year.

However, because the movie belongs to the high-martial arts type of special effects movie, it is basically the first in the world, and the audience treats it with a certain conservative attitude, so the final box office is far inferior to "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story".

In other words, many of the technical awards of this year's Golden Dragon Awards, in the final analysis, are still the competition between "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

Both technical awards were won by Xiao Ran's team, and the next Best Movie Song is no surprise, because the nominations are basically singers under Xiao Ran's team.

For example, next, Tang Yun and Zhang You sang the nominated songs of the two of them as guest performers, that is, the two interludes in the movie, "The Way of the World" and "Don't Come at Dawn".

Originally, the song "The Way of the World" should have appeared in the second part in the previous life, and it was used as the theme song, but during the Spring Festival Gala, Xiao Ran didn't want to give up such a good opportunity to perform on stage, so he asked Zhang You to sing it in advance and appear as an episode of the first part, of course, when the second part was filmed, it would still be used as the theme song!

But that's what makes the whole Best Movie Song award even more confusing!

"It's very good, I believe that many audiences like "A Chinese Ghost Story" because of the wonderful soundtrack in it, it is the outstanding soundtrack of the movie that makes the whole movie more stylish, and we are also very grateful to Tang Yun and Zhang You for their singing! The next awards were the Golden Dragon Award for Best Editing and Best Cinematography! ”

This year's lineup of award presenters is also exceptionally strong, and these two awardees, who are also award winners of the Cinémathic Awards, are also very well-known film technology talents, and have been known as the first generation of gold medal cinematographers in the past. He is also the enlightenment teacher of many photographers, and later became a director, and now he gradually fades out of the film industry. Liu Weiqiang, who is known as Silly Qiang, and Shang Zuyang, an editing master known as Thunderbolt Golden Scissors!

The two old friends met and exchanged a few words of greetings. Shang Zuyang, an editing master known as Golden Scissors, said: "Please take a look at the list of nominees, I find that the editing technology is getting more and more powerful!" ”

"The nominees for Best Editing at the 31st Chinese Film Golden Dragon Awards are: "The Storm Dominates the World" Ma Panyun...... "A Chinese Ghost Story" Ma Panyun...... "Crazy Boy 2: The Raptors Crossing the River" Wu Yijun...... "New Version of Liang Zhu" Yan Liben...... "The True Colors of Heroes" Yan Liben ......"

In the list of nominees for best editing, Wu Yijun's qualifications for entering the industry are relatively shallow, and the movie he nominated for is a Jianghu movie, Jianghu movies have always been not very popular at the Golden Dragon Awards, so the chances of winning the award are even lower, and generally speaking, it is still the competition between Ma Panyun and Yan Liben!

Although Ma Panyun is a relatively senior editor under Xiao Ran, because Xiao Ran treats technical talents very well, many technical talents are very anxious to use money. Otherwise, they will choose to stay under the team of Shaw Film Company for a long time, and they will not be played by other film companies lightly, but Yan Liben is an exception!

Yan Li was originally brought into the industry by Shang Zuyang, and he is also the only one in the new generation who is more famous than Shang Zuyang, he does not belong to the production team of any film company, but a lone ranger, as long as the price is high enough, he will choose to operate, but the premise is that the movie is not too bad......

This is also the reason why Yan Liben couldn't win the award. For the past ten years, he has been nominated for Best Editing every year, but has basically lost to Ma Panyun, who has won six consecutive editions. This is because Ma Panyun is a member of Xiao Ran's team, and although the nomination system of the Golden Dragon Award is relatively fair, many voters will still choose filmmakers with more status. Relatively speaking, Ma Panyun's status in the Xiao team is definitely much higher than Yan Liben, who works alone!

But despite this, Yan Liben still has a chance to win this year. Because he helped Xiao Ran edit the movie "The True Colors of Heroes", and "The True Colors of Heroes" is currently the highest status in Chinese films. Even "A Chinese Ghost Story", which is still in theaters, is difficult to match, which also gives Yan Liben more chances of winning the award!

Another point is that this year's award presenter is Shang Zuyang, Shang Zuyang is Yan Liben's master, and the normal process is that the master presents awards to the apprentice, so the arrangement of the Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee also makes people see a little clue!

Sure enough, Shang Zuyang showed a smile after seeing the results: "The best editor who won the 31st Huaxia Film Golden Dragon Award is Yan Liben of "The True Color of Heroes"!" ”

As an insider, Shang Zuyang naturally knows that in fact, when it comes to technology, Yan Liben is a level higher than Ma Panyun, but Yan Liben likes freedom by nature and has a relatively withdrawn personality, so he doesn't like to form a group of people, and bad popularity is also a reason why he can't win awards!

Just imagine, if you were a voter for the Golden Dragon Award, and you learned that there was a high-status figure from a large company and a withdrawn lone ranger in the list of candidates for nomination, who would you vote for?

Most people's choice is to vote for good popularity, but because "The True Colors of Heroes" was released earlier this year, they have accumulated a large number of loyal fans, and these people have a high probability of voting for Yan Liben because of the movie "The True Colors of Heroes", plus some insiders really vote according to their level, which suddenly gave Yan Liben a lot more free votes!

After the withdrawn Yan Liben came to power, he showed his true character as an otaku, and said very calmly: "Thank you Master for awarding this award to me, thank you Mr. Xiao Ran for asking me to be in charge of the movie "The True Colors of Heroes", thank you to the people who voted for me, thank you ......"

His speech was very brief, in fact, as a technical practitioner who has been in this industry for many years, in fact, many people are more concerned about whether they can get their remuneration as scheduled, and whether they can win awards Many people are very open!

Because the film is a high-risk investment, many times investors will even default on a lot of the remuneration they should give because of the box office of the movie, although this kind of behavior is much less now, but it still happens from time to time, in fact, the screenwriter is the most miserable group!

When many movies are popular, no one necessarily remembers the screenwriter, and it is difficult for the screenwriter to get much remuneration, but when it comes to arrears, the arranger is the one who is the most heavily owed!

It can be said that the screenwriter in the entire industry who has not been owed remuneration may be Xiao Ran, in addition to his late entry into the industry, there are few such things now, and there is also a reason that the ultimate investor in the movies written by Xiao Ran is himself, so who can owe him money?
