And what is a screenwriter?

The screenwriter is the heart and soul of the entire movie or TV series.

Not only the story depends on him, but the script depends on him, and the actors' dialogues depend on him. And the "book" of the script does not only mean the book, but also the fundamental and basic meaning.

In different countries and regions, the status of screenwriters is not the same. In Japan, whether it's TV, anime, or movies, it's often the screenwriter who manages the entire plot, and the director is inferior. In the United States, the annual salary of screenwriters is not low, and while the average person's annual salary is up to $50,000, the annual salary of American screenwriters is $200,000. In Hong Kong, the average monthly salary of new screenwriters is HK$20,000, which may gradually increase to HK$30,000 to 40,000, and even more if there are good works. On the mainland, newcomers are about 3,000 yuan a month (some depending on the number of episodes).

Screenwriters write and conceive stories on their own, which requires minor limitations, and too much intervention often leads to a decline in the quality of the script. Before 2002, there was a drama shortage in China, and although it was later alleviated, to this day, there are still not many screenwriters in the Chinese world, so there are few excellent scripts in the local film and television industry.

Because screenwriters are not valued in China, many people change careers.

In fact, screenwriting is an indispensable and strong pillar in the film and television industry, and in this industry, there are frequent changes, some writers will change jobs or part-time screenwriters, and some screenwriters will turn to directors or other positions. For example, famous directors Ang Lee and Wang Jing, famous writers Hai Yan and Gu Long, etc.

For the entertainment industry, screenwriting is the foundation of this industry. Screenwriters, sometimes referred to as playwrights, are the creative brains behind movies, TV shows, and other scripted programs. They may work independently, for a television network, a studio, or for a brokerage firm. Some screenwriters are passionate about working in a particular field, but in general, screenwriting involves a few different aspects.

Many independent screenwriters focus on creating sales pitch scripts. Pitching scripts are the result of the playwright's personal wisdom, not the result of an employer's instructions. A script can be a personal program plan or a fresh interpretation of an existing film and television trend. Writing a sales pitch script requires the screenwriter to have a keen sense of the market and complete market research independently or through an intermediary. Playwrights need to know how to construct a clever story, create engaging characters, and bring it all to life in the form of a script. The vast majority of sales pitches from the vast majority of independent writers don't turn into final shows, but successful scripts can capture the attention of mainstream producers and set careers on the road.

Some screenwriters focus on adaptation, which is writing a script based on an already existing story. Novels, stage plays, memoirs, biographies, TV series, and even movies made by previous people can be adapted. Since adaptation involves copyright issues, most of the changes occur after the production company has chosen a target and negotiated the copyright. At this point, the production company will give the adaptation to the screenwriter they deem suitable for the job.

Another job of a screenwriter is to choreograph TV shows and write scripts for TV dramas. Writing a TV script is just as much a creative script as writing a feature-length feature film script, and TV writers also need to meet the specific requirements of the TV industry, such as program length, sections (interstitials), number of episodes, and target audience.

Screenwriters are also responsible for bridging the writing work, such as creating a promo for an upcoming show, writing a script for a TV promo, and writing ad copy for a show sponsor to use in the show. Such screenwriters usually work in local stations.

Most screenwriters' day-to-day work includes frequent revisions. A screenwriter's initial work is often referred to as a first draft. Subsequently, producers, directors, marketers, and others involved in the creative process propose revisions (or orders) to the first draft of the screenwriter. The writers had to strike a balance between the initial story and the revisions made by all parties, and keep the show on schedule.

In some cases, the playwright is invited to the production of the show. In this case, they are responsible for revising the script or writing new content on the spot when there is a problem with an existing script or when the director has a new idea. The screenwriter may also need to address issues that occurred during filming and discuss the character's personality and scene with the actor so that the actor has a better understanding of the scene to be filmed.

People go to high places, and water flows to low places, which is a universal commonality.

Screenwriting is very important to a work, a good script is the soul of the movie, no matter how good a director is, no matter how high your level is, you will be finished if you don't have a good script.

For example, many famous directors, why are they so bullish, are other directors all rookies.

Actually, no, you can take a look at all those who become big directors, almost all of them are screenwriters and directors, such as Feng Xiaogang, such as Kashen James Cameron, and so on.

These people all have the integration of director and screenwriter, and they can simply say that they can be literate and martial, so they are brilliant.

Let's just say that Wang Meng, there are more genius directors and more young directors, why Wang Meng is so good, the reason is the screenwriter.

Miracle director, in fact, it is better to interpret it more as a genius screenwriter.

As for the director's skills, Wang Meng can compare the film in addition to the experience of the previous life. The experience of other techniques is actually quite average.

But why is it so successful? Sixty percent of the script, thirty percent of the foresight, and one percent of the ability.

This foresight is to have the memory of the previous life, of course, why can't the foresight include the script?

A closer look at Wang Meng's publicity and hype, as well as the road he has followed step by step, can be found.

You just have the memory of the previous life, but you can't kick a fart with three legs, and you can't babble.

Only by grasping the opportunity and overcoming it little by little.

There are not so many fools in the world who bow down with tears in their eyes because of a few words, and there are not so many boring people who come to bet with you.

For example, if you are obscene, you don't have a penny, but you make a bet with the boss of so-and-so, as long as you give me a million, I will turn it into 10 million, believe me, my script is perfect and bullish. As a result, the boss said: Brother, what I am waiting for is you, and I fully support it. ”。 Then a certain time-traveler clicked a movie to finish.

Just laugh like this, you can't take it seriously.

Movies are never difficult, except for Wang Meng's "This Man" in the early stage, there is a simple one.

It takes half a year, or even a year, to complete, not to mention the preliminary preparations.

Wang Meng is now a little easier to shoot, and it is also the big group of DreamWorks that is serving him, otherwise no matter how awesome a person is, he can't do it.

Of course, Wang Meng didn't encounter so many brains, he had to jump out and let him slap his face, most of the people he knew were very polite, even if it was a conspiracy, he wouldn't jump out like a clown for fear that the world wouldn't know about him.

Anyone with a little IQ will not talk brainlessly.

Even when he was a Hollywood reporter, it was Wang Meng who was still unknown, and the reason for racial discrimination and arrogance.

Even if it is Hua Xiaoyu, it is unscrupulous for fame.

Simply brain-dead, Wang Meng has never encountered it, and sometimes he wonders if he is a pig's foot The halo is not obvious.

Then he slapped his brain-dead face, and then gained countless praises and fans, and then another brain-dead appeared, and he slapped his face, and he was bullish......

Wood has!

Of course, this is inseparable from Wang Meng's high starting point, good family conditions, and although he was a student before, his directing theory is very good.

The starting point is high, and it is naturally difficult to encounter any dirty mistakes.

And in the past year, I haven't met him, and I have been very polite, polite, and honest when I see him.

Speaking of which, Wang Meng wants to thank his God of Destiny for arranging to meet such a good environment and such a good background. His god of fate was good to him...... Ahem......

To get back to the truth, all in all, a good screenwriter is not necessarily a good director, and a good director must be a good screenwriter.

After the year-end summary of DreamWorks ended, Wang Meng put down all work and went home for the New Year.
