For filmmakers, the best music and best sound effects are not awards worth caring about, but the best cinematography and best editing will make all filmmakers look sideways. The best cinematography represents a director's lens language, and the best editing can even be said to be the director's way of telling a story, if a director doesn't even care about the way he tells the story, then the movie he makes must not be good-looking, if a director can't even master the lens language, then the movie he makes can't say what he wants to express.

"The Best Photography Award at the 26th Academy Awards, please present the guests, Zeng Zhiwei and Mao Shunjun."

Mao Shunjun is also a veteran actor in the Xiangjiang film industry, she has starred in Mu Jianping in 84 "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and has cooperated with Zhou Xingxing, who is still a star, in "Descendants of the Dragon" and "Love Saint", she is also the thirteenth aunt in "Huang Feihong Laughing Biography", Pan Jinlian in "Water Margin Laughter", and has cooperated with Huang Baiming in "Happy Events in the Flower Field", "Happy Events in the Family", and "The House of the Rich".

It's just that Mao Shunjun never seems to be too dazzling, even at the peak of Xiangjiang movies, he didn't hit his name to the top.

Zeng Zhiwei and Mao Shunjun's fate is completely opposite, after Zeng Zhiwei, who was born as an athlete, entered the entertainment industry, he was able to flourish quickly, many people said that Zeng Zhiwei was a very playful person, not only can he laugh at friends' parties, but also make friends all over the world.

"Ah Mao, have you noticed that there are more and more mainland movies at the Academy Awards? Last year's "Night Banquet", this year's "The Grandmaster", and "The City Full of Golden Armor" are all films invested by the mainland. Zeng Zhiwei introduced.

Mao Shunjun didn't know what Zeng Zhiwei wanted to say, so he asked directly, "What do you mean?" ”

"I mean. The domestic market is getting better and better, but the box office of Xiangjiang continues to decline, and many Xiangjiang artists have returned to the peak of the world through guò and domestic cooperation......" Zeng Zhiwei changed his words and said: "I think." We should also change our thinking and not only focus on the audience in Xiangjiang......" Zeng Zhiwei raised his head: "Boss Shao, is there still a shortage of people in your company to run errands?" Don't look at me short, I'm very diligent! ”

Rumble!

The whole scene laughed, Zeng Zhiwei used a big topic to attract attention, and when everyone thought that he was going to say 'Xiangjiang Movie' not to rest on his laurels, he suddenly focused on Shao Yingying.

Shao Yingying laughed and applauded Zeng Zhiwei's wit. After all, this is at the Xiangjiang Film Awards ceremony, and if he denigrates the Xiangjiang movie too much, it will definitely cause hostility from many people, but. Turn all the previous words into jokes in the form of Shao Hero jokes, and then no one will care.

"Don't be angry, Boss Shao, just kidding."

Zeng Zhiwei and Shao Yingying are not strangers. They had a one-sided relationship in "Infernal Affairs". What's more, no one will be angry on this occasion, let alone him Shao Yingying, the new boss in the circle, even if Zeng Zhiwei makes a joke about Shao Yifu, no one will care about it on this occasion.

Mao Shunjun shook his head helplessly, no wonder Zeng Zhiwei can eat anywhere, he is not only likable, but also not hated when he is joking.

"Let's get down to business." Mao Shunjun reminded.

“OK。” Zeng Zhiwei raised his head and said: "The 26th, the Best Cinematography Award at the Xiangjiang Film Awards!" ”

A male voice came from the stereo. At this moment, the lights in the venue of the cultural center are all dimmed: "Liu Weiqiang, Li Yaohui "Wounded City". ”

This is a subversive performance of Liang Chaowei, who uses a metal pole to slap the prostitute and the guest. If this picture can be interpreted as countering violence with violence, then the moment Liang Chaowei lifted the Buddha statue and smashed it at his father-in-law, it can make the audience tremble and get goosebumps. Just like the classic line in "Wounded City" 'The wine is delicious precisely because it is unpalatable', "Wounded City" is not good because Liang Chaowei acted well enough, but precisely because he acted badly enough!

When the voice sounded again: "Li Pingbin's "Father and Son". ”

The movie "Father and Son" ...... Shao Yingying only has one impressive place, that is, the love action scene between Lin Xilei and Aaron Kwok, where prohibited keywords such as female-on, back-in, etc., are all in it, but unfortunately, the shot is very short and the plot is very hot.

"Banishment, Zheng Zhaoqiang."

Du Qifeng's movies generally let the underworld characters get rid of things like suits and trench coats, or these iconic costumes will not appear until the plot officially begins, such as Huang Qiusheng is a barber in "Gunfire" and Zhang Yaoyang is a parking boy. But "Banishment" is unusual, the opening scene is a cool character with a windbreaker, a suit, and sunglasses, and then the bullets and throwing knives in the melee in the house fly together, and the shots that shouldn't be beautiful at all are very tasteful.

""The City is Full of Golden Armor" Zhao Xiaoding."

The photography of "The City Full of Golden Armor" actually has little to do with Zhao Xiaoding, any photographer who works under Lao Mouzi does not have the right to put his hands on the camera, Zhang Yimou, who was born in photography, will set the focal length, shooting angle and shooting dynamics according to his own ideas, even a beginner can shoot a very beautiful shot under Zhang Yimou, because that is Zhang Yimou's creativity.

"The Grandmaster, John Thor."

Airplanes!

There was a collective discussion in the entire cultural center, and there was no Su zhì!!

John Tolle is a name that no filmmaker has never heard of, a two-time Oscar winner for Best Cinematography, and it's no wonder that this film has such a whimsical sense of camera to invite this kind of character to make "The Grandmaster".

Shao Yingying and Wang Jiawei let everyone's eyes focus on the two of them, and the two of them showed a very mysterious smile at the same moment, which was a winner's smile.

When the lights of the venue were turned on and the big screen dimmed, Zeng Zhiwei appeared in front of everyone again: "Boss Shao, you are thinking about what I said just now, next time I invite Cameron, I will serve tea and pour water." ”

Zeng Zhiwei's words didn't have much funny effect, because the filmmakers present were still immersed in the shock just now.

"I know what you're thinking. You may wonder if it would be unfair for John Tolle to compete with our cinematographer for the Academy Awards. Mao Shunjun finally found a chance to speak: "But I don't think so, Du Kefeng is also a ghost." Why does his appearance make some people think it's fair, and John Thor people think it's unfair? ”

"It's all human." Mao Shunjun continued: "I also hope that one day our people can win two Oscars in a row, and when they appear for the third time, it will make the ghosts feel unfair, and if we can do this, we will be proud." ”

Shao Yingying stood up, he didn't want to be in the limelight, but he sincerely felt that Mao Shunjun's words were uplifting.

He is very annoyed that some people are 'foreigners at every turn'. What happened to foreigners? The equipment is not good, can I buy it? If you can't do it, can you practice and learn? Even if the level of special effects is not as good as others. Can you hire someone else's team to make your own film? If you don't dare to think about anything and say no, the final result can only be no.

The whole scene was driven by Shao Yingying, and some people slowly began to applaud, and finally the applause formed a small piece, when the applause of the crew of "The Grandmaster" continued. It was only at that moment that a small climax was set off. The audience remembered the applause.

Zeng Zhiwei glanced at Shao Yingying, which was very meaningful.

"The 26th Hong Kong Film Awards, Best Cinematography Award......" Zeng Zhiwei diverted the topic, he was unwilling to let the atmosphere go cold.

The drumbeat sounded again, and the moment Shao Yingying sat down, Zeng Zhiwei shouted out his name: "John~~~~ Thor!!!!! ”

The ghost guy in the crew of "The Grandmaster" stood up, he was John Thor, and even he didn't expect that a job that was almost a publicly-funded tour would win one of the more prestigious awards in the East.

When Shao Yingying, Wang Jiawei, and Liang Chaowei hugged John in turn. He showed up on the podium, that moment. John Thor said some of his feelings, when mentioning Wang Jiawei's seriousness, John Thor expressed helplessness, his words made the audience laugh again, and the atmosphere just now finally returned.

Wang Jiawei said in Shao Yingying's ear at this moment: "Three to one." ”

Zeng Zhiwei and Mao Shunjun did not leave the venue quickly, and after John Tolle finished his acceptance speech, the two continued: "What we are going to award is the Best Editing Award, let's take a look at the list of winners first. ”

The lights in the stadium dimmed, and Liu Dehua's figure appeared on the big screen, and in that scene, he faced a city alone......

"Kwong Zhiliang's "Ink Attack"."

The big screen changed again, and the scene of Li Lianjie farming in "Huo Yuanjia" appeared, especially when farming, he straightened up to feel the light breeze between heaven and earth......

"VIRGINIA-KATZ, RICHARD-LEAROYD, HUO YUANJIA."

The camera of Jin Chengwu in the wounded city appeared on the big screen again, and this face, which was once rated as 'Asia's sexiest man', has haunted countless fans, but he is low-key and incomprehensible, and he has always been low-key and impossible to ignore......

"Zhong Weizhao's "Wounded City"."

On the screen, several men sit in a room at the same time, this is the picture of several protagonists in "Exile" going to a small hotel to inquire about information, Du Qifeng made his movie appear for the first time in an exaggerated performance, the innkeeper told the content of the information with a very exaggerated gesture, about gold......

"DAVID'S BANISHMENT.

In the end, "The Grandmaster" appeared, and Ma San, played by Shao Yingying, looked up at the roof of the shed in Wang Qingxiang's house, and the impatient momentum was obvious at a glance. This is the action scene of Ma San and Gong Baosen, and it is also the core of Ma San's play in the whole play, Shao Yingying played a vivid and vivid role in the performance of this scene......

"Wang Jiawei, "The Grandmaster".

Zeng Zhiwei stretched out his hand to stop Mao Shunjun, and the movement of his lips was very loud when he spoke: "Slow, slow, slow......"

Mao Shunjun looked at Zeng Zhiwei and said with a wry smile: "It's baa again." ”

"Let's talk."

Zeng Zhiwei said into the microphone: "Shao Sheng, if I reveal a little bit of news about the Best Supporting Actor to you, will you agree to me to sign Huayi?" ”

Everyone can see that Zeng Zhiwei is going to tease Shao Yingying to the end.

Shao Yingying nodded indifferently, and when the microphone came over, he picked up the microphone and said, "No problem." After saying this, he added: "But our company recently has a new rule, that is, salaries are paid according to height......"

Hahahahaha......

The whole scene suddenly burst into laughter, Zeng Zhiwei was not only not angry, but smiled at Shao Yingying and gave a thumbs up, which was to praise him for being enough to match the atmosphere of the scene, and then took advantage of the laughter just to fall: "I agreed, then after the award of the Best Supporting Actor, I will tell you who won the award." ”

Zeng Zhiwei is definitely a living treasure, a few words made the atmosphere very hot, no wonder this person can mix in the circle, this kind of person will be invited by people of all sizes to make duì, how can it be that the popularity is not good?

"Ah Mao, give the award, my new boss can't wait."

In fact, Zeng Zhiwei had already vented his bottom when he said this, but everyone still regarded this sentence as a joke and laughed again.

"The 26th Hong Kong Film Awards, Best Editing Award......"

The pictures on the screen flickered one after another, and the five film screens appeared one after another, and when the pictures flashed faster and faster, Mao Shunjun said: ""The Grandmaster", Wang Jiawei!!! ”

Shao Yingying didn't wait for Wang Jiawei to stand up and hugged him, and their efforts finally bore fruit.

Wang Jiawei hugged most of the crew and walked to the podium, and after receiving the trophy, he said into the microphone: "I want to say, few bosses are willing to trust me so much......" Wang Jiawei smiled to himself after saying this, he was happy for Shao Yingying's trust.

The audience also laughed, and they remembered the Xiangjiang film companies that were dragged down by Wang Jiawei.

"When making this movie, I often let the actors act dozens of times until I am satisfied, but there are only two exceptions, the first is Liang Chaowei...... "Everyone has no objection, Liang Chaowei's acting skills have long been recognized:" The second is someone I can't even think of, this person is Shao Yingying." I'm not a sycophant, I want to say that Shao Yingying's acting skills are the last thing I want to change, he can always conquer you with a completely different way of acting than you have in your mind. ”

"Boss Shao, thank you for investing money to let me shoot "The Grandmaster", thank you for accompanying me to visit those martial arts masters, thank you for traveling with me all over the country, thank you, thank you."

Wang Jiawei only thanked one person, and after he won the Best Editing Award, he only thanked Shao Yingying!

Everyone at the scene was shocked again, no one could have imagined that Wang Jiawei would be so ...... Kneel and lick.

That's right, Wang Jiawei's actions are like a slap in the eyes of these people, because he found a super backing that will not go bankrupt, but no one knows how Shao Yingying accompanied Wang Jiawei to find those martial arts masters, no one knows how much convenience Shao Yingying gave Wang Jiawei, and it can even be said that Shao Yingying has no requirements in terms of time, and the rest is completely in accordance with Wang Jiawei's own thinking. It is not easy for a boss to do this step in the drama he invested, and he didn't stop him from wasting even after Wang Jiawei rejected it a few times, can't he afford these few words of thanks?

When Wang Jiawei walked back with the trophy, he said as if talking to himself and Shao Yingying: "3:2! (To be continued......)
