From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

Most of the film and television dramas in the European, American and Japanese and Korean regions next door implement a writer-centered system, and the screenwriters have a very high status.

Especially in Bangzi Country, most of them adopt the mode of filming and broadcasting at the same time. In order to ensure the quality and ratings of the series, the screenwriters who signed a contract with the production unit have absolute authority and status. In addition to writing the content of the script, no matter whether it is in

They all have a high say in casting, title of play, and marketing and promotion after the production of the series.

As for our domestic production areas, most of them implement a director-centered system or a producer-centered system, and the status of the screenwriter seems to have always been dispensable.

The scripts they write can not only be modified by the producer or director at will, but even the actors can follow suit.

In the past few years, there were even many so-called big-name actors who brought "screenwriters" with them to join the cast. These screenwriters who were brought in knew with their toes what they were doing. Naturally, they wanted to add drama to the actors and try their best to

Competing for roles.

There are many cunning tactics such as tearing up spots in the show, stealing scenes, allowing fans to fight each other even before the show starts, causing a huge fuss after the show was aired in order to refuse a second partner, and making passers-by angry and resentful.

By doing this, it can be said that the series writer's face was once again stamped on the face of the show.

The living environment for screenwriters in China is so bad that some people have counted the number of screenwriters in the country and found that the maximum number is more than 20,000 to 30,000.

Some of them have professional backgrounds, some have changed their careers from directors to actors, and some have changed careers as writers. Among them, there are only a few hundred graduates from serious screenwriting majors every year. It can be said that while the status of this industry is not very high, the threshold is also very high.

Low.

As a result, the production level of domestic film and television dramas naturally varies between good and bad, and there is a tendency to rely heavily on network IP, and high-quality original scripts are even rarer.

Someone here said again, how much is the value of illusory status and dignity?

All I want now is to make money.

In fact, the remuneration for screenwriters is not as generous as we imagined.

Except for those relatively big-name screenwriters who may be paid a bit more, some young screenwriters basically earn very little, and more than 90% of them are doing jobs similar to that of a gunman.

Only those well-known screenwriters can basically sell their books for hundreds of thousands, while a few gold medal screenwriters may sell more, even millions. So it can be seen from this that the gap between rich and poor screenwriters is still very large.

obvious.

And Yu Zhen is one of the gold medal screenwriters who is considered to be in the upper echelons of the screenwriting circle.

In the domestic screenwriting industry, apart from a few people who came from professional schools, many of them were apprentices more than ten years ago.

Yu Zhen entered the industry more than ten years ago and started working as an apprentice for his own master.

The so-called apprentices are actually the gunmen in the unspoken rules, and they are the ones who don't get much remuneration.

After working for a few years, he was unwilling to be exploited and ran away angrily. At the same time, he sued his mentor in court.

The reason for the lawsuit was that a script he created for the other studio was signed by someone else's name.

The little-known Yu Zhen used a lawsuit to make his name in the screenwriting circle.

After becoming famous, Yu Sheng's workload increased sharply, and he successively created dramas such as "The Great Qing Palace", "The Last Brother", "Zhu Yanxue", "Beauty Trap", etc., and his fame gradually grew.

It is worth mentioning that "The Palace of the Qing Dynasty" plagiarized the Hong Kong drama "The Golden Branch" and the Korean drama "Dae Jang Geum", while "Beauty Trap" "borrowed" from the online novel "Wei Young: The Ups and Downs". A series of operations can be called

A master tailor in the world of screenwriting.

In the end, it was his agent who came forward to solve the copyright issue.

Therefore, the theory "created" by Yu Zhen that "as long as the borrowed content does not exceed 20%, it is not considered plagiarism" became invincible in the screenwriting circle.

In this way, step by step, copying and copying along the way, it has also made many stars famous thanks to its excellent production standards.

He became famous for his fight against plagiarism, and gained a higher status and reputation by plagiarizing others. It must be said that it is too ironic.

However, after experiencing so many "storms", he still stands at the top of the pyramid in the screenwriter circle, which shows his thick skin and extraordinary means.

However, he has indeed been quiet a lot in the past two years. The reason is that in the past few years, when Yu Zhen was performing his regular operations, he almost kicked a big iron plate to his death, and was criticized by a guy from the next door, Wanwan, who was even more awesome than him.

The veteran screenwriter Aunt Li took the case to court and lost the case, and together with several other producers, she paid nearly 5 million yuan in compensation.

This wave of energy was severely damaged and made him depressed for several years. For several years in a row, no major projects were willing to approach him.

However, because he was not a star standing in front of the stage, the impact of the plagiarism incident has gradually subsided, and Yu Zhen gradually became active again.

Not long after he found out that Peach TV, a subsidiary of Goose Factory, was making big moves in the entertainment industry, he volunteered and approached it.

Yu Zhen's past performance is still very convincing, and the content production and investment department of Peach TV is also very interested in him, so they hit it off and asked him to create the first-class short drama "Mist Theater" for the next year.

A story, trying to get off to a good start.

Yu Zhen looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he was extremely dissatisfied.

What status am I as a screenwriter?

Are you just going to kill me with a short play or a project in the form of a web drama?

But even though he was dissatisfied, he still wanted to get on the line with Goose Factory, so he gritted his teeth and accepted the call.

As for how much thought will be put into this aspect, one can only imagine.

...

...

"Ah! Everyone is here! It's been a long wait!"

When Yu Zhen walked into the conference room, the people inside had been waiting for almost an hour.

But he just said hello with a smile and took the main seat as if there was no one else around.

It made many people in the conference room frown secretly.

Especially the short-haired girl sitting next to Ding Zhi, her nose wrinkled slightly. Ding Zhi also noticed the small movements of his fingers tapping quickly on the edge of the chair next to his butt.

It can be seen that although this girl appears to have a bright and polite smile on the surface, she is somewhat unhappy deep down.

On the surface, Ding Zhi didn't show much facial expressions or body language. He just silently looked at this weak and slightly domineering fat man, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

But the young director, who had never had any presence before Yu Zhen came, stood up with a sincere smile and greeted Yu Zhen, looking like he was facing a young man who had just entered the industry.

When you are a big boss in the industry, you tend to behave like a jerk without realizing it.

But looking at the color, Ding Zhi vaguely saw something different in the young director's seemingly sincere smile.

That feeling is very similar to the feeling of the famous smiling tiger in the club in his previous life.

This crew is a bit interesting.

Ding Zhi licked his lips and thought thoughtfully.

On the other side, Yu Zhensheng's smiling eyes silently scanned everyone in the conference room.

Almost all the actors are new faces, and they all seem to be newcomers.

As for the director, he looks like a young kid who hasn't grown up yet, and the other people in the production team don't have particularly senior qualifications either.

This crew is very easy to control.
