Chapter 926
In recent years, as the concept of IP has gradually become popular, a popular IP can often be sold at a sky-high price, and the original author of the IP can even participate in the revenue sharing of the final film and television works, but although the value of the original screenwriter has increased, it still cannot be compared with the popular IP author.
This year's Chinese Screenwriter Industry Conference is the largest conference in recent years.
In this year's screenwriters' conference, there are two people who have attracted the most attention and attention, one is naturally Ye Qiu, who is basically invincible, but Ye Qiu cannot be regarded as a professional screenwriter.
Because Ye Qiu's scripts are rarely sold directly, they are more in the form of screenwriters + investors.
However, in the current environment of Huaguo, it is difficult to achieve a model like Ye Qiu.
But Ye Qiu's vision is notoriously vicious, and what makes domestic screenwriters most jealous is that Ye Qiu's works can not only succeed in China, but also be able to gain prestige overseas.
Another high-profile is Yuan Zhi, unlike Ye Qiu, Yuan Zhi has been a controversial figure since he appeared in the domestic film and television industry.
Because he has been an admirer of the industrial assembly line operation of Hollywood scripts from the beginning, and he himself has never denied this.
Yuan Zhi is a screenwriter, but in terms of screenwriting, he has been in Hollywood for many years, but he has never been affirmed and successful, but after returning to China, Yuan Zhi is out of control.
And the secret of Yuan Zhi's success lies in the big IP + small fresh meat, it can be said that the sky-high remuneration of small fresh meat in China also has a lot to do with Yuan Zhi.
Yuan Zhi's company has become popular with several small fresh meat stars, and it can be said that he has become famous all over the world.
I don't know if it's because it's too easy to succeed, so Yuan Zhi's self-confidence is inflated, or for other reasons, Yuan Zhi often "speaks wildly", the most controversial is Yuan Zhi's point of view that "screenwriters and scripts are not so important" in a speech.
In fact, the reason why Yuan Zhi, who can be called the "public enemy of screenwriters", was invited to participate in this screenwriter industry conference at this screenwriter conference was related to Ye Qiu.
It stands to reason that one of the purposes of the Screenwriter Industry Conference is to improve the value of screenwriters, but Yuan Zhi's views are very different from this purpose, and there is no reason to invite him to pour cold water.
But in the end, not only was he invited, but also invited Yuan Zhi to give a speech at the conference.
On the surface, the industry needs different voices, but in fact, it is because the Screenwriters Association wants to suppress Yuan Zhi's remarks that "screenwriters and scripts are not that important".
Because although Yuan Zhi's words made many screenwriters extremely dissatisfied, because of Yuan Zhi's series of successes, he was recognized by many people.
I feel that he is reasonable, because his words are not untargeted, but well-founded.
Often the screenwriters' rebuttals are so unconfident, but this time is different.
What is the secret of Ye Qiu and Dianjin Film and Television's success?
It can be said that contrary to Yuan Zhi's point of view, it is almost recognized that the most important thing about the success of those film and television works of Dianjin Film and Television is precisely the script!
Because Ye Qiu's script is wonderful enough, it is almost recognized that those works will be so successful.
There may be a unique marketing and promotion model, but whether it is filmmakers or the public, it is recognized that the most important thing is precisely the script.
Therefore, to a certain extent, the views of Ye Qiu and Dianjin Film and Television and Yuan Zhi are precisely-for-tat.
And this time the conference invited Ye Qiu, obviously wanting to use Ye Qiu's mouth to suppress Yuan Zhi's views.
Yuan Zhi's words are extremely weighty because of his continuous success, a word, a hundred or a thousand ordinary people say it, it may not have any impact, but if it is a person like Yuan Zhi who has been walking on the road to success and has a huge influence, then it is different.
Many people will think that what they said is right, otherwise, how did his success come about?
Just like Ma Ali in later generations, after his great success, often every word he said will become the focus of many people's interpretation.
But compared to Yuan Zhilai, Ye Qiu is obviously a bigger name and more influential.
Therefore, this time, Ye Qiu was basically invited to come and fight with Yuan Zhi in the ring.
Ye Qiu was also very surprised when he heard the president of the Screenwriters Association talk about Yuan Zhi, he didn't expect that the Screenwriters Association was playing with this idea.
However, Ye Qiu, who has experience in later generations, has no objection to Yuan Zhi's views, but he also does not agree with it.
The screenwriter and script are important and important, but they are not important or important, and the success of a film and television work can affect too many factors.
For example, at present, the IP+ small fresh meat model can be described as invincible, many popular IPs have been adapted, often very rough, and the leading actors are even criticized for having only a face and no acting skills, but they can be invincible.
And often people's focus has also changed, and they have begun to ignore the script and plot, and shift to whether the leading actor has acting skills, whether the investment is large, and so on.
It is a typical example of an actor's achievement of a work, not to say how wonderful the actor's performance is, but to say that the actor's influence overshadows the work itself.
Often many people don't care about what the work is, but go to the actors, and there are many people who have a herd mentality, which will cause such a situation.
Yuan Zhi has been full of ambition recently, and the little fresh meat that is popular in his hand has been hyped to sky-high prices by him, and he has also begun to transfer from the previous big IP + small fresh meat model to the pure small fresh meat model!
The result made Yuan Zhi very satisfied, before he would buy some popular IPs and then operate, but now, he has directly not wasted the money to buy IP, and directly asked the company's screenwriting team to write a script, and then put on small fresh meat, and the result is not as good as the model of big IP + small fresh meat.
The continuous success, the easy success, also made Yuan Zhi begin to swell, so he said in public that the screenwriter and the script were not so important.

"Many people think that the status of screenwriters in Hollywood is much higher than that in China, but this is not the case. ”
"Except for some top screenwriters, the average screenwriter in Hollywood can only be reduced to a member of the assembly line. Because screenwriters are really not as important as everyone thinks. ”
"I don't know if you have noticed that many Hollywood movies actually have the same framework and plot, but they can often be a big hit. Why is that?"
"What I'm talking about about screenwriting and scripts is not really that important, and you probably don't agree with it, but I want to point out that a lot of Hollywood scripts often just give a direction to the film, and the script may go through a lot of industrial assembly line work to fill in and revise before it's actually finalized. ”
"The screenwriter of the original script, that is, the screenwriter who signed it, actually didn't play that big role. ”
