Chapter 674: Discussion about screenwriters

Kong Qi said that Ahri would not hire professional screenwriters, which caused a huge response in the industry.

Early the next morning after the forum ended, the term #Ahli Films: Screenwriter is Useless# became a hot search topic.

After reviewing the content of last night's forum, many well-known screenwriters in the industry announced on WeChat Moments, Weibo and other channels that they "will not cooperate with Ahli Pictures." Dong Leonnian, Wang Hailin and other well-known screenwriters even said in unison: "Ahli Pictures"

Li Pictures, please go ahead and don’t give it away.”

Subsequently, many screenwriters in the industry quickly followed up, and some even insulted Ali Pictures on social platforms.

In the following two days, the matter quickly escalated, with many well-known bloggers and public accounts forwarding relevant remarks, triggering a wider attack on Ali Pictures.

Seeing that this matter was getting worse and worse, and netizens were becoming more and more malicious towards Ahri, Kong Qi had no choice but to stand up and respond in person.

He angrily criticized the media on Weibo and in his personal circle of friends for "taking his words out of context," which resulted in "serious damage to my reputation and that of Ali Pictures."

Ali Pictures CEO Zhang Qiang also responded to the public opinion in a timely manner, saying: "As the core of the content industry, the importance of screenwriters is unquestionable. Ali Pictures has always respected screenwriters and other professionals and has never wavered, and is also exploring and practicing

Work with screenwriters and other professional colleagues to create a realistic path for the future of the industry. We have never denied the role of screenwriters, and we have always placed screenwriters as our top priority."

Kong Qi also stated his point of view again: "I'm not saying that there is no need for screenwriters. What I mean is that today's super IPs on the Internet often have four to five million words, and it is difficult for screenwriters to have enough time and energy to complete a complete project.

reading, not to mention sorting out and accurately grasping the original work. At this time, the contradiction between the screenwriter's schedule and the creation time cycle appears. Under this situation, I invite loyal fans of the original work to respect the original work and

Write a story based on your love for the original work, then create and revise it once or twice, and finally select the work that best fits the spirit of the original work from these re-created works. This will give you the basis for accurately grasping the original work. At this time

Asking professional writers and directors to create will truly improve the work. This is also a set of script industry processes that Ali Pictures has explored. It is an innovation, a full respect for the original work, and a response to online public opinion.

Maximum respect. In the final analysis, the core of film and television dramas is the story. However, the screenwriters are removed from the front end of the industry chain and the outstanding writers among the fans are allowed to first refine what they think is the essence of the original story, and then professional screenwriters process the scripts. However,

This front-end is pure IP, and the back-end needs to be processed into a good script, and screenwriters must be indispensable."

Kong Qi also said: When I attended the forum that day, there were one or two hundred people sitting on and off the stage. At that time, there may have been a certain degree of teasing, joking, and even inappropriate remarks, but everyone was participating in the forum, which had the effect of conveying context to each other. But now

The content that came out basically ignored the context. I also feel very regretful and sorry. It seems that I will only remain silent in the future."

The consistent attitude of Internet manufacturers can be seen from Ahri's attitude in handling this matter.

If you refuse to admit it, you will not be held responsible.

It's not my fault that something went wrong, it was your misunderstanding.

And he avoids the important and ignores the important, and is evasive.

They still have not responded to the issue of the sky-high remuneration of the actors in "A Chinese Ghost Story" and the issue of not treating the special effects team as human beings.

Although Ahri's response temporarily calmed the anger of netizens, it did not satisfy screenwriters in the industry.

A discussion about the status of screenwriters in the industry took this opportunity to start.

Famous screenwriters such as Wang Hailin and Song Fangjin have recently appeared frequently to talk about the profession of screenwriting.

Wang Hailin said that he misses the time when coal bosses were investors: "They know that coal mines cannot interfere blindly, as blind interference will kill people. They have a sense of production safety, so they are very cooperative. At most, they will give you a little honey."

"The second thing is that when real estate developers are the bosses, they also have a sense of production safety, because they can't interfere blindly when building a house. Interfering blindly will kill people."

"The worst thing is that these Internet bosses think they are omnipotent and dictate to you. You tell them about the script structure, and they tell you about traffic and popularity. They are not the same people at all."

Song Fangjin also talked about the dispute between the two Song Dynasties last year, saying that the screenwriter's status in the crew is very low, and anyone can change my script.

"The environment for remote crews will be better," he added, "but they are also the tallest among the shortest. The crews of key remote projects, such as "The Wandering Earth" and "Along with the Gods," will respect the screenwriters very much.

Their opinions will require the screenwriter to follow it from beginning to end, and even the permanent crew. Other plays will be similar to the general environment, not much better."

Yuan Yuan is probably the only company in China that will pay dividends to screenwriters.

For key projects, a portion of the share will be reserved for the writing team. It won't be much, but if it sells well, the writing team will get a lot of income.

Of course, the premise is that you are a big screenwriter in the industry, such as Zou Jingzhi and Liu Heping, and the screenwriting team must be willing to bet on the success of the film.

Most screenwriters still prefer to get a more stable fixed fee.

The war slowly turned from discussing the status of screenwriters to various screenwriters complaining about the harm caused to screenwriters by the general environment.

Especially the constraints imposed by the proliferation of fresh meat on screenwriters.

"How far has it developed now? One time I went to meet an investor who was involved in the Internet. I showed him the script, and he pointed at the script and said, let me change it here, it's too long. I asked him why, and he

Said that their actors can't memorize such long lines. Now it's like this, I won't let me write lines that are more than three lines, because they can't read them."

"Nowadays, Xiaoxianrou brings his own screenwriter into the group and changes the script on the spot. So now we don't even care about the script after writing it, because he won't act according to what you wrote."

It is true to say that black and red are also red, and being scolded is also traffic.

Ahri Pictures was very smart to seize the wave of traffic brought to it by Cheng Yuan.

After the screenwriting incident took a break, Ahri Pictures poured a bucket of oil into the dying fire!

Official announcement of "The Ferryman"!

Top best-selling author Zhang Jiajia cross-border director.

Produced by Wang Sunglasses, starring Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Kim Sung-wu, Chen Yixun, AB, etc., with Li Yuchun as a guest star and Lu Han as a special guest.

The announcement of this list quickly made Ahri the headlines and hot searches on the entire Internet.

The outside world has questioned Zhang Jiajia's directing ability, because the lessons learned from "Tiny Times" are there, best-selling novel writers cross-border directors, most of the films they produce are not good stuff.

Zhang Jiajia said wildly: "Let's put it this way, after you have been drinking with Wang Sunjing for a year or two, if you still don't know how to direct, you are just a fool."

Liu Yifei had a sudden thought, forwarded this news and commented: "I have been with Teacher Cheng for 7 years, and I don't know how to direct."

As soon as Liu Yifei finished posting this Weibo, Cheng Yu'an called and asked her not to get involved in this matter.

But Liu Yifei was still slow to delete her Weibo. Her Weibo had long been screenshotted, saved and widely disseminated.
