做编辑工作十几年来,常常听到有人这样问我:“编辑是干什么的?”听得心中如同打碎了五味瓶。是啊,编辑是干什么的?还真难用一句话概括以作答。电视观众知道导演,记住了主要演员,知道有制片人,也知道要有摄、录、美、化、服、道,但是知道编辑的就微乎其微了。也难怪,隔行如隔山,就是我们本单位的个别人也问:“有编剧写剧本了,你们还干什么呢?”言下之意,编辑是“聋子的耳朵”,多余的人。而且继电影厂取消了编辑部之后,一些电视台、影视公司也竞相效仿,或变为策划部、剧本公司,或干脆由制片人、导演兼任。 Doing editing work for more than a decade, I often hear someone ask me this: “What is the editor?” Hear the heart like smashed flavored bottle. Yeah, what’s the editor doing? Really difficult to sum up a sentence to answer. TV viewers know the director, remember the main actors, know that there are producers, but also know that there is photography, recording, beauty, service, Tao, but know the editorial is minimal. No wonder, interlacing, such as the hills, is that we are individuals and individuals also asked: “a screenwriter to write the script, what are you doing?” The implication is that the editor is “deaf ear”, the extra people. And after the Cinema canceled the editorial department, some TV stations and film companies also competed to emulate or become planning departments, script companies, or simply directors of filmmakers and directors.
