"Mourning Girl's Heavenly Troupe" won the "Best Screenplay of An Online Movie"
Zhang Baiqing, honorary president of the China Film Critics Association, said at the scene that there will be a big difference between whether the film script is original or adapted: "The original script itself is written for the film, and the adapted work may itself be a novel, or even a poem. In addition to reflecting the main characteristics of the original soul, spirit, and humanistic color, the adaptation also needs to have a cinematic feeling, that is, to use the picture lens to tell this literary story well. ”
For example, "There is a cloud made of rain in the wind", which won the "Best Original Cinema Film", the time line is long and the events involved are many, the whole story is very strange, and its award speech also writes, "Using non-linear narrative to outline the three protagonists' thirty years of sadness and joy, with epic narrative tension, exquisitely presenting the real social picture, each character is complete and full of vitality, reflecting the author's strong ability to plot." "Young You", which won the "Best Adaptation of Cinema Film", is considered to be "an innovative work of campus youth films, focusing on social hotspots, breaking through the taboos of campus themes, shaping real and distinct character personalities, and highlighting the artistic power of realism".
In recent years, the development momentum of online movies has been fierce, more and more practitioners, and many elites in the film and television industry have also participated in online movies, as can be seen by the popularity of the most successful network dramas in 2020 such as "The Hidden Corner". However, due to the "2020 Screenwriting Night" is the evaluation and recognition of the works in 2019, in the end, the "Best Screenplay of The Network Movie" was won by the "Mourning Girl Heavenly Group", which is not too out of the circle, but wins in the novelty of the theme, as written in its award speech: "The lesser-known funeral industry is combined with the fancy rock girl group, and a sad and a joy form a strong contrast and dramatic tension." ”

And let the previous tepid Li Xian turn into the "current husband" of "Dear, Loved", although the love line is also very exciting, but what is more exciting is to pay attention to the theme of e-sports, and interpret this thing that has always been a "crooked door" in the eyes of many parents.
