Chapter 19: The Age of Script King

"This drama creation contest is actually named 'Huaxia', which seems to be not low." At first glance at the title, Su Wen sighed with emotion.

Sure enough, there is only one organizer introduced below, that is, the Chinese Imperial Writers Association, and the organizer is Fangyuan Culture Company.

The judges invited more than a dozen famous playwrights, all of whom had their introductions, nothing more than what works they had written, what achievements or influences they had.

And then there's the contest rewards. Roughly the same as Xie Tianxing said, starting from the tenth place, the starting price is 100,000 Chinese yuan, and the highest is 1 million.

Su Wen took a closer look at the award rules and found something strange: Xie Tianxing said that the ranking is determined by the audience's vote, but in fact, if it is all decided by the audience, then what do you need these dozen judges to do, soy sauce?

It turned out that the audience was the primary selection, and they voted for the top 10, after which the judges decided the top 5 rankings.

In other words, the top five voted by the audience are not the final ranking. Perhaps, the fifth of the audience, in the hands of the judges, can finally be judged first; And the audience judged the first, maybe the judges only gave the fifth in the end.

The audience is the leader, and the ranking from 5th to 10th can be determined, but the top five positions are selected by the judges once again as the final result.

However, it can also be said that the top five voted by the audience must be among the top five, no matter how the judges choose, at most the order is different. In this way, the ticket in the hands of the audience is the final decision.

For this selection, this official website not only came up with an author system, but also was very user-friendly, allowing the author to update continuously without uploading the drama at one time.

Readers can use the work display system on the official website to select the works they like to watch and cast their sacred votes.

One reader can only vote once during the contest!

How can you limit it?

After reading it, Su Wen both admired and sighed: "You need a personal ID number to log in, and you can only vote once for one number!" “

Everyone in this world has an ID number since birth, which is very sacred, and the supporting protection measures are also very strict, and it will not be easy for others to use it, except for family members, of course.

In this way, it is avoided that someone will use their power to collect a large number of ID cards to cheat.

In addition, the world is too sacred and strict for the protection of genuine copyrights, not to mention paper media publications, even if it is online media, in addition to news reports, the resources and texts of major websites, and other stations are lightly reprinted, as long as they meet the plagiarism standard, they will be severely punished, which can easily make you bankrupt.

So, don't look at the current drama contest showing all the scripts in a grand manner, there really isn't any website that dares to come here and turn around.

This website is the only place where the entries are displayed.

Su Wen sighed, and at the same time checked the situation of this drama contest on the Internet, just don't watch it, and only be surprised after reading it, and by the way, he can only learn about the general situation of the cultural development of the Chinese Empire.

It turns out that since the establishment of the Chinese Empire, in the first hundred years or so, there has been a trend of development of ancient poetry, especially all kinds of heroic words that have developed to a certain height with the Chinese Empire's conquest of the world.

After that, the Chinese Empire entered its heyday, and there was a peak of ancient drama in terms of culture, which began with the interpretation of anecdotes of the major celebrities of the empire, and later slowly developed to focus on the life of the underclass. Then, the classical novel appeared, which swept the empire and complemented the drama.

Later, the empire was relatively conservative, and it was not until the successful rebellion of the major colonies that it began to face up to the rise of the world's major powers, and the new cultural reform began. Vernacular, new poetry, critical prose, became the trend of the time.

After a war, the world began to be peaceful again, the vernacular became mainstream, and new poetry and prose declined, replaced by new plays and new novels, only this time more commercialized.

Especially for drama, because the people of the Chinese Empire have a tradition of watching plays, a script, in addition to being applied to the development of film and television tools, there are still many people who go to the theater to watch the play, and each city has one or two very large theaters, and the theater also needs a script.

Once a good script appears, film and television can be commercialized, and theaters can also be commercialized.

In the current literary world of the Chinese Empire, storytelling dramas and novels are the mainstream. Even novels are not as important as dramas, because if a novel is to be changed into a film or a public performance, it is still up to the dramatist to take action and turn them into scripts suitable for various tools.

It can be said that the status of the dramatist is high.

"No wonder Xie Tianxing envy those playwrights who sell tens of millions of dollars for a play!" After reading the information, Su Wen was a little stunned and a little excited, because he was a screenwriter in his previous life!

It's just that screenwriters in that era were not taken seriously, and they were generally just for the sake of eating.

Now it's different!

This is an era when scripts are king!

"Isn't this what I do!" Su Wen felt that he was about to develop, and the opportunity to make a big difference was right in front of him.

His mind gradually returned to the official website of Fangyuan Culture Company in front of him.

"It's not a simple company." Su Wen sighed again.

From the information just searched, we can know that the Chinese Drama Creation Contest is held once a year, there is no limit, no age limit, no subject matter, as long as you have the strength and the readers recognize you, you can gain fame and fortune.

As an era when scripts are king, the audience's ability to appreciate scripts is naturally not low, and the number is huge, just look at the number of votes on the website, the highest is already millions.

You know, these are one person, one vote, not brushed out!

As the prosperous era of the Chinese Empire's theater industry, it is not something that anyone can hold. This year is the fifteenth session, and looking at the previous ten sessions, Su Wen only saw two host companies.

One is Fangyuan Culture Company, and the other is Matrix Culture Company.

These are the two major cultural giants of the Chinese Empire, Fangyuan Company in the South, Matrix Company in the North, one South and One North, two major groups, operating newspapers and publications, publishing websites, film and television games, strong strength, dominating one-third of the empire's cultural market!

This is a huge market with 2 billion consumers, and the two major companies account for one-third, and the rest is the share of thousands of companies, which shows how terrible their strength is!

The script is so important, it is naturally impossible for one of the two major companies in the national drama competition to dominate one of the companies, so the two companies take turns to sit in the bank, one a year, and control the right to hold the competition.

This year, it was organized by Fangyuan Culture Company in the south.

Su Wen also discovered that the headquarters of Fangyuan Culture Company is in Yuezhou, which is a local industry!

"These guys are so shrewd!" Su Wen sighed, "As the organizer, the bonus is from them, so naturally they have to get benefits." For the top 10 scripts, the organizer has the right to sign contracts first, and they will eat the rest before it is the turn of other cultural companies to enter the soup. ”

After sighing, Su Wen laughed at himself a little: "Forget it, these things are too tall, and they can't be my turn." I'll just make a fortune in silence. ”

Not to mention that there is this gamble with Xie Tianxing, even if there is not, Su Wen has to participate, without him, the prize is attractive!

Once you win the award, in addition to receiving a lot of bonuses, you can also gain fame, major cultural companies are rushing to get VIPs, and if the next script is still level, it will not be a mere hundreds of thousands of people who can be sent away!

Looking at the wealth list of cultural celebrities, almost all dramatists and novelists control the world!

"I love this era!" After Su Wen cheered, without saying a word, he immediately registered as a member of Fangyuan Company, and was ready to apply for an author number to "create" his play!

"Which one is better to write? Tsk, there are so many ideas...... Too many classics are also annoying, and I don't feel embarrassed to choose whichever one to start! ”
