As time went by, after awarding some technical and post-production awards at the Oscars, it gradually came to the highlight. The first was the two screenwriting awards, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay.
Among them, the slightly lower gold content of the Best Adapted Screenplay was finally won by the inspirational film "There's Always a Sun".
Unfortunately, Stephen King's dream of being nominated came true. But for him, the shock of losing the Oscar has made him numb. The poor guy, although he wrote good horror novels, he has no chance of winning. As for the past
He has been "raped" by the son-of-a-bitch Oscar judges quite often, but "raped" and "raped" ah, Stephen King has been used to being "raped", such as his "Dangerous Days", such as
His "The Shining", and his "Shawshank Redemption"...
Alas, it’s hard to describe Stephen King’s Olympic bid history in one sentence. He had already anticipated the ending, but he didn’t expect it to come so soon.
His wife, who felt most distressed for him, held Stephen King's hand tightly. Although she didn't say a word, her caring eyes and expressions made her meaning very clear: Husband, it's okay, at worst, we'll come back next year!
Stephen King patted the back of his wife's hand and smiled casually, but he was very depressed in his heart. I'm afraid I won't be able to come here next year. You think this is McDonald's. When you're hungry, you can come here whenever you want...
But at this moment, Stephen King still has one hope in his heart, and that is the best screenwriter of the following method. Yes, this award must not fall... to someone.
For the first time in his life, Stephen King began to pray a little meanly, because he really didn't want to see someone arrogant after winning a prize.
"How could it be possible? Did I think too much? Even if that guy is really talented, the Oscar judges wouldn't award such an important award to a Chinese, would they?" Stephen King thought silently in his heart.
…
"Okay, everyone, please be quiet. The award that is about to be awarded below is a very important award! Let me ask, what is the most important thing in a drama? The acting skills of the actors? The music, the props, the scenery? Or the investors' funds?
Oh, none! It's the script! Yes, it's the script! Dear ladies and gentlemen, the script is the foundation of the play. It carries the soul of a play and is the foundation of the movie story! So it is very important! Therefore
.The award that will be awarded next is also very important, it is the Oscar for Best Screenplay!" host Steve Martin said loudly.
Obviously, with Martin's provocative language, the candidates nominated for Best Screenplay all started to get excited, and the audience, guests and fans also felt the heated atmosphere around them. The entire Hauska Awards
An extremely tense atmosphere began to fill the ceremony scene.
In fact, among the various Oscar awards, in addition to a few awards such as Best Actor and Actor, Best Film, etc., Best Screenplay is the most valuable and attracts the most attention. The reason for this is closely related to the Hollywood film industry.
Industrialization is not unrelated.
You must know that Hollywood movies are different from Hong Kong in that they are not workshop-style production, but industrial assembly line production.
When a movie starts filming, from the screenwriter, director, actors, to other members of the crew, every link along the way is very important. Every link must be checked by professional talents.
Why Hollywood movie companies make so much money every year is because they can produce popular and good movies!
How do good movies come about? To put it bluntly, it is the film industry that strives for excellence, strictly controls the quality, and rejects bad movies and big-budget movies!
As the most important story of a movie, it must be attractive and resonate with the audience. Therefore, a good story must be written by a good screenwriter, and only a good screenwriter can produce good results.
To put it more bluntly, the story written by the screenwriter determines the final success or failure of a play!
Therefore, Hollywood regards screenwriters as very important. Their status is second only to directors and even higher than actors. Some people may say that this is too exaggerated... Then let's change our focus and not look at Hollywood but only look at movies about the rise of Asia in the future.
Powerful South Korea.
In the future, the rapid development of Korean movies is recognized by the world, and the popularity of Korean TV dramas around the world is obvious to all. Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the popular "The Man from the Star" and "The Heirs" in the previous life.
The two dramas immediately became a hit in China!
It's red, it's too red!
It’s hot, it’s so hot!
But who knows how dominant the screenwriters of these two dramas are in the entire filming process. With just one word from them, the actors can be replaced. With just one word from them, even the director has to change.
shoot.
One of the most popular actresses in South Korea was disrespectful to her screenwriter after she became popular. As a result, she was directly banned by the screenwriter for many years. In the end, she had to kneel on the ground and serve tea to the screenwriter!
This shows how important the position of screenwriters is in TV series and movies. Although Hollywood is not South Korea, Hollywood also treats screenwriters with the most respect, especially those gold medal screenwriters, almost all of whom are millionaire screenwriters!
When I say millions, I don’t mean that the box office of the movie they write is one million, but it means that the remuneration for each play they write is at least one million U.S. dollars!
Yes, it is true. The best screenwriters in the United States can even get 2 to 4 million US dollars in remuneration! This is not a joke, it is a fact! And some screenwriters participate in box office dividends. If the box office of the play exceeds 100 million, then the adapted play
It is possible to get tens of millions of dollars at once.
Of course, screenwriters in American Hollywood have also come out of the trough, and are currently facing a severe situation. Especially after the increase in industrial production, the sacred word "screenwriter" has been transferred from one person to a team.
For example, Columbia is currently filming "Charlie's Angels" this year. A total of 17 screenwriters participated in the film. They wrote the basic story framework, love scenes, action scenes of the film... All dialogues are also divided into love categories, humor categories.
Classes and action classes are written separately.
As a result, screenwriting has actually become the title of a team, so Hollywood is very much looking forward to the emergence of truly independent gold medal screenwriters and the emergence of millions of screenwriters... This situation has not happened for many years, and Hollywood has become accustomed to it.
With the power of many people, it takes a lot of effort to write a script... Oscar is even more difficult, especially when it comes to those scripts written collectively, I really don't know which lucky person in the team should be awarded.
In short, the changes in Hollywood have made the best screenwriter at the Oscar more valuable and important. Audiences, fans, and even the bosses of film companies are calling in their hearts - gold medal screenwriters, come out!!!
Now, the Oscar for Best Screenplay is about to be announced, and everyone is waiting with bated breath.
Amidst thunderous applause, Angelina Jolie, the guest in charge of awarding the award, walked out from the left side of the stage with a white envelope. She smiled and said: "It is an honor to present this award. The screenwriters have shaped the story.
And the characters, our acting skills have been put to full use..." In the guest seats in the audience, Stephen King became attentive; the Wachowski brothers had cynical smiles on their faces; Yi Feiyang not far away finally changed
His expression was calm without a smile, but he was very nervous in his heart... although he had no longer had any hope for this award.
"The five nominees are: Alan Ball, screenwriter of "American Beauty"; Nate Shyamalan, screenwriter of "The Sixth Sense"..."
As Angelina Jolie pronounces a name, the person's location in the guest room will flash on the big screen, and then the spotlight will be cleverly turned over, becoming the target of everyone's attention.
On the stage, only Angelina Jolie, who was wearing a white suit, continued to read: "There is also Charlie Kaufman, the screenwriter of "Puppet Life", and Yi Feiyang, the screenwriter of "Dance Floor"..." The crowd cheered again.
Significantly increased applause.
Suddenly, "Oh my god..." The moment the spotlight hit Yi Feiyang, Angelina, the award winner on the stage, suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed, then glanced at Yi Feiyang in disbelief, and continued to announce: "
God, the last one is the screenwriter of "The Matrix 2", who is also...Yi Feiyang!"
Uproar!
There was a collective uproar!
Everyone was stunned by this answer!
What is a miracle?
That’s it!
One person actually has two films nominated for the Oscar for Best Screenplay!
Isn’t this a miracle or what?!
"Is there something wrong? Aren't the writers of "The Matrix 2" the Wachowski brothers?"
"You don't know something, man, that play was written by a man named Mysterious Neo, and the Wachowski brothers spent a lot of money on advertising to find someone for it!"
…
"Is there any mistake? Oscar changed the list of candidates midway?!"
"Yes, this is unprecedented!"
…
Faced with this unexpected result, everyone couldn't help but start talking.
Behind the scenes, those very bitter Oscar judges were helpless. Who asked the damn Wachowski brothers to come and change the nominations at short notice? As upholding justice and truth, they could not leave the real creators out.
Alas, it’s not easy to do anything.
At this time, the Wachowski brothers were laughing mischievously, "China Yi, you didn't expect that we brothers still have this skill? It's not ours, we don't care about it! This is our moral bottom line!"
As for Yi Feiyang, he could only smile bitterly in the face of everyone's stunned, surprised, and suspicious looks.
Those thoughtful people who originally badmouthed Yi Feiyang's award were a little dumbfounded this time. What happened? One person was nominated twice, and he was defeated among the five candidates? The winning rate at least doubled!
