Chapter 138: The Emperor's Golden Flat Dan
"Hey, boss, have you heard of our suicide as a screenwriter?"
Han Chengsheng had no choice but to say: "There are writers who commit suicide, poets commit suicide, and singers commit suicide on the Internet, but there is basically no reason for being a screenwriter?"
"Because they all died suddenly, it's too late to commit suicide!"
"If a screenwriter jumps off a building, he can get six calls in the elevator, five of which are for him to change the script, and one notification that the previous project is yellow. β
I finally covered my chest and propped myself up to the top of the building, ready to post a Weibo to say goodbye, but when I looked at Weibo temporarily, Yu X plagiarized again; Guo XX plagiarized again, and directly suffered from brain congestion. β
Ning Yuan smiled, I'm sorry, I really couldn't hold back.
"Is there really no one to care?" he asked, "It's not stupid." β
"No one cares?" Han Cheng said helplessly: "From the one-drama and two-star implemented in 15 years to the tax inspection turmoil in Horgos, and then to the restrictions on the ancients, the mother, the wearing order, and the number of episodes of the verbal reminder above, don't be too long......"
"The leadership has always been in control, which has led to the butterfly effect, the backlog of dramas lacks a home and can only be sold cheaply; new investment is in urgent need of takeover, and it is forced to delegate power; waist actors sign a deed of sale and settle in the flow factory of Youai Tengmang......"
"One drama and two stars originally wanted to solve the problems of market failures such as sky-high salaries, unsalable dramas, and homogeneous broadcasts, but in the environment of hot money retreating, it accelerated the transfer of industry resources from traditional platforms to video websites?"
"Look at this year's Magic Capital TV Festival, even the Magnolia Award with thick eyebrows and big eyes is open to online dramas?"
Even Wang Hailin said: After accumulating resources, our video website will definitely dig out original content, optimistically speaking, it can't find good actors, so it uses traffic actors; without original resources, it can only shoot some inferior online articles. β
"I didn't have resources before, but now I can pick and choose, I don't believe that I still pick the poorly written and poorly acted?"
Ning Yuan let out a long sigh, dubbing is a link in the industrial chain, there are no eggs under the nest, and no one can be left alone.
It is certain that for a long time in the future, bad dramas and water injection dramas will not disappear. The reason is that TV dramas have their own creative inertia and broadcast cycles, and distortion, assumptions, lines and saliva, narrative dragging, and hollow garbage of characters will still emerge in endlessly.
For example, the lawyer consultation fee of "Elite Lawyer" is 100,000 yuan per hour, the intermediary in "Settle Home" sells the house for 5 minutes and quarrels for half an hour, and the client of "Perfect Relationship" encounters a crisis, and the first consideration of public relations is whether his reputation is damaged......
In the fake workplace and real love, the characters are all stupid and sweet, and renting a few hundred square meters in the inner ring of the first line with a salary of thousands is the standard configuration of the role.
What's even more tragic is that the audience is also gradually getting used to understanding the simplest plot, and in order to cater to them, the plot will only become more naΓ―ve. For creators, enhancing drama is tantamount to abandonment, and enhancing literacy is tantamount to suicide.
The low energy index of bad dramas is like wearing nightclothes in the daytime in "Wulin Gaiden". Take spy war dramas as an example, most of them are reversed, such as the person in charge of underground activities wearing a peaked cap, sharp eyes, exaggerated behavior, and he is the brightest in the crowd?
Gangsters too, very ritualistic, eager to go to the toilet together?
Let's see how "Ming Dynasty 1566" was filmed back then?
There is a scene where Yan Shifan scolds Zhang Juzheng, a traitor scolds a loyal minister, and the confidence is so strong that it is difficult to distinguish why it is loyal and treacherous?
Because bad people don't feel bad about themselves, the motive for doing evil has long been internalized and rationalized, which is called advanced!
"Celebrating More Than Years" Fan Xian recited a section of poetry in front of the courtiers, and the content is not out of the middle school Chinese textbook, and I can't see a sentence of "Luo Shen Fu" and "Lisao" that are beyond the difficulty of the program?
Is it a typical scenario used to deceive people who have not read a book?
What is the difference between the peasant fantasies that the emperor used a gold hoe?
"Of course, there are always a few good ones in a year, such as the twelve hours of Chang'an. Han Cheng adjusted his mood and said: "There are also domestic crime IPs in the past two years that have opened a new page in the online drama Congliang, in addition to "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "Residual Sin", "Undocumented Crime", which is also Zijin Chen's original work, is a legacy work. β
"When I watch a drama, I first look at the idea, and then look at the completion. We often talk about the costume, the plot, the composition, the soundtrack, and the most mentioned performances only belong to the completion part, but I want to talk about the idea is more important than the completion. β
"The best thing about "Undocumented Crime" is not that it is well-made, but that it is a story of "Law-abiding Citizen", which is far above "The Hidden Corner". β
Ning Yuan nodded, if he had the opportunity to choose a suspense writer, it would definitely be Zijin Chen!
Especially the murder of an officer series, it's literal!
In case the Zen pass is broken, the beauty is like a jade sword like a rainbow!
"When we were in class, we once asked the tutor, is there a chance for the national drama?"
"Guess what he said?"
Han Cheng said seriously: "There will definitely be an opportunity, but it will not come naturally. β
"We need experts to sit in the right position, we need capital to respect the laws of creation, we need to accumulate experience, and we need to keep trying the unknown. β
Ning Yuan gave a thumbs up, this sentence has a level.
Without the threat and stimulus of transformation and degradation, there can be no inevitable progress and development. If it weren't for the fact that the bad drama was so bad that even the most tasteless people couldn't watch it, there would be no bottoming out of the conscience drama at this stage, which is the self-correction of the market.
The fooling of water-injected content has led to double-speed playback becoming the norm, and the successive overturning of fresh meat has also made capital taste the bitter fruit of data-only theory. Coupled with the sudden rise of short videos and live broadcasts, long videos want to compete for audiences, forcing capital to follow the example of HBO, Netflix and other North American counterparts to continue to push high-quality content for paying users.
Of course, standing and talking doesn't hurt your back, but it's not easy to do, after all, the actor is not the key to the quality of the play, a good actor can't save a bad drama, and a bad actor can't ruin a good drama.
The creator feels that this can't be mentioned, and that can't be touched, in essence, he still doesn't study the field to be written about enough, and he doesn't know which step the caliber is put in, so he will repeatedly cast a mouse.
However, after this hurdle is passed, it is still necessary to solve the problem of purchase and sales mechanism within the industry.
American dramas bid according to the script, and after the script is signed, the producer can start work after getting the contract for the film, and there is no need for big-name stars.
Our order is the opposite, we often rely on actors to sell after filming, which will inevitably lead to a waste of resources, and also breed freaks such as backlog dramas, high salaries, and yin-yang contracts.
Only by returning to the play-centered system and putting the level on the script can we extinguish the bad bubble from the source.
The audience's right to decide is also very important. If we repeatedly support bad dramas, the creators of good dramas will starve to death, and when they all starve to death, the market will continue to rot.
If you have always supported good dramas, you can help the industry enter a positive cycle. As the teacher emphasized, the masses of the people are the creators of history, and the market is not bad because of us, but it can be better because of us.
Go for it!
