Shen Mengxi had a hunch that a reporter would come to interview him...

Ask how you feel about the incident of "Rose Red Lotus", and then send a draft.

It's normal, people are also for sales, after all, there is Han Shaoyi in front of the literary world, and then there is a Shen Shaoyi director circle...

Gee!

Shen Mengxi wasn't going to talk about anything earlier, what is there to talk about?

Not to mention rookie screenwriters, what can they do if they are veterans?

The director can change the script, the producer can change the script, and even the actors have the right to change the script - "The King of Lanling", Zhai Filling's role was originally the male number three, and he forcibly let him add his own drama to the existence that is not inferior to the male number one, and what else did he say on the show afterwards 'The producer agreed, so he didn't notify the screenwriter, I think, the screenwriter has no opinion'...

Even in 2020, when he was reborn, the rights and interests of screenwriters are still not guaranteed.

If you really let him squirt, he can squirt several chapters without repeating the same!

The problem is, this thing is normal!

In the mixed film and television industry, there are two key points to whether you can make money, one is connections, which means whether you will be a person, whether your emotional intelligence is high enough, with connections, you will naturally have a life, and it is naturally not difficult to make money.

The second is ability, ability is still very important, with connections, but you don't have the ability to take on the big job, naturally you can't make money...

has long passed the stage of glass heart, and Shen Mengxi has long seen through many unfair phenomena in the industry...

He is not the chosen one, could it be that if he raises his arms and appeals, the status of screenwriters will be improved?

The dispute between Han and Bai is so big, Bai Ye still mixes very well, and still enjoys the special allowance of the State Council, everyone in literature, on programs, and in publishing...

also won the Lu Xun Literary Award for Literary Theory Criticism!

Many times, the fire in my heart is extinguished, and it is difficult to ignite it again, especially for people like Shen Mengxi who have nothing to pursue in life...

But on second thought...

Isn't this about selling books?

"Rose Red Lotus" and "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" have all been completed, and Shen Mengxi has also negotiated with Gao Yanhua, the editor of Baihua Literature and Art, and it will be officially released next month...

So why don't you take the opportunity to hype it up?

After all, if you don't operate, although it can be popular, it will definitely not be as good as the results after multi-party operation...

......

"Can you briefly talk about "Rose Red Lotus"?"

"This script is what I thought of after watching "Liao Zhai", ethics as the theme, thriller, horror genre film, in fact, the most traditional thriller is to deal with scary methods, purely the pursuit of sensory stimulation! Films with connotation but no skills are often not market winners, and those with both will become classics, so there are very few classic horror films!"

"When I was creating "Rose Red Lotus", I first thought of the big theme: stepmother and child, how to tell this story completely, so that people's senses can be stimulated at the same time, but also pass the trial... The protagonist can only be mentally ill, and everything she experiences is a hallucination..."

"In order to make the logic reasonable, the heroine is burdened with the psychological burden of wiping her sister..."

Shen Mengxi spent five minutes explaining the structure and content of the script of "Rose Flower Red Lotus".

Wei Wuchang listened attentively...

At the beginning, he was just rushing to get the purpose of the interview, chatted with Shen Mengxi for a few words, and really felt that he was very talented...

is still the same sentence, the vision of 20 years ahead of the times is not covered!

"I heard that "Rose Red Lotus" was the first prize winner of the Qingying Studio Script Competition, and then Rong Xingda fell in love with it..."

Shen Mengxi nodded: "Yes." ”

"Did they ask you to be a screenwriter?"

“... There was an offer to let me go with the group, but I didn't go. ”

Wei Wuchang was very interested: "Why, isn't this a good opportunity?"

Shen Mengxi shook his head: "I'm a rookie screenwriter, what's the point of following the group? At most, revise the script over and over again according to the opinions of the director, producer or even actors... What do you say' script script, a play book. Who really respects the creator of the script?"

"So, you didn't say yes?"

"Hmm... I don't have a shortage of work to do, so why don't I join the group "Underground Transportation Station" now!"

"Then what do you think of Director Li Shaohong's evaluation?"

Finally getting to the point!

Shen Mengxi changed his posture, crossed his legs, and said, "... It's normal, she doesn't even bother to read the original book of "Orange is Red", let alone a fledgling screenwriter like me!"

It's famous...

Li Shaohong has said on various occasions...

is probably boasting that he didn't read the original book and made a classic.

Wei Wuchang smiled: "Then what do you think?"

"I didn't have any ideas, I expected it before, otherwise I wouldn't have refused to be a screenwriter..."

"After all, it's your work! Wouldn't you be sad if someone changed it beyond recognition?"

“... It's definitely sad to be sad, but let's put ourselves in my shoes, I'm a rookie screenwriter, and the script has been taken by a big director in the circle, can I still refuse her? Do I have the right to choose?"

Wei Wuchang hurriedly asked, "So, it's not that you're not angry, you just think it's useless?"

Shen Mengxi didn't answer directly, but said another thing: "The status of screenwriters is very low, mainly due to the weakness of intellectual property rights! In the crew, probably except for field affairs, group performances, and general actors, the screenwriter is considered to have the lowest status, and the chief screenwriter has a general script, and he doesn't know what to change it to later, and it is equivalent to a fiction with the group screenwriter, and some don't even have it, many actors temporarily change the script, and they don't care about the screenwriter at all!"

"This is not the most aggrieved, the most aggrieved thing is that you have to listen to many directors complaining that 'there is a lack of good screenwriters in this industry'..."

"This is all the norm, you just find a screenwriter, he has a bunch of things to say!"

Wei Wuchang was not so easy to dismiss, so he simply asked directly: "What do you think of Director Li Shaohong?"

“...”

Shen Mengxi was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have heard a saying before, in the literary and artistic circle, the most important thing is qualifications, as long as you stay up long enough and have qualifications, you are a respected artist, but talent does not increase with age..."

This is the most serious sentence he said in this interview...

Wei Wuchang's eyes lit up: "So, you mean that Director Li Shaohong has no talent?"

With the advent of the Internet, all the world's excellent works, movies, and TV series have come one after another, and the aesthetic ability of many movie fans and drama fans has skyrocketed! It cannot be said that Director Li has no talent, but she or their generation of directors is more like a product of the times, good at it, but hindered by academic cognition, knowledge is not systematic, and it will be gradually abandoned by the times. ”

This is a heartfelt statement...

Of course, it is unknown what will happen after Wei Wuchang's processing...

Finally, Wei Wuchang was about to leave, and before leaving, Shen Mengxi said: "Reporter Wei, can you say a word when you introduce my resume, and the novel version of "Rose Flower Red Lotus" will be released in September?"

Wei Wuchang nodded: "Of course it's no problem!"

"By the way, I also have a new book called "Ghost Blowing the Lamp"..."

"Don't worry, I'll add it too!"
