Chapter 11 It's Just an Advertisement

Chen Mengxi has a premonition that there will be a reporter to interview him...

Ask about the experience of the "Rose Red Lotus" incident and then publish a manuscript.

It's normal. They are also doing sales. After all, Han Shao is ahead of the literary world, and another Shen Shao is fighting against the director circle...

Tsk tsk!

Chen Mengxi didn’t plan to talk about anything earlier, what can I talk about?

Not to mention new screenwriters, what can I do if I am a veteran?

The director can change the script, the producer can change the script, and even the actors have the right to change the script - "Lanling King". The character of Zhai Tianlin was originally the third male lead, so he forced him to add the opera by himself to an existence that was no less than the first male lead. Afterwards, he said on the show that "the producer agreed, but he did not notify the screenwriter. I think the screenwriter has no objection,"...

Even in 2020 when he was reborn, the rights and interests of the screenwriter are still not guaranteed.

If he really lets him spray, he can spray several chapters without a duplicate!

The problem is, this thing is normal!

There are two key points when you are involved in the film and television industry. One is your connections, which means whether you can be a human being and whether your emotional intelligence is high enough. With your connections, you will naturally have a life, and it is naturally not difficult to make money.

Second is ability. Ability is still very important. With connections, you will naturally not be able to take on the big job...

It has long passed the stage of glass-heartedness, and Chen Mengxi has long seen many unfair phenomena in the industry...

He is not the chosen son of God. Could it be that he raised his arms and called on the screenwriter's status to be improved?

The dispute between Han and Bai is so big, Bai Ye is still doing well and still enjoys the special allowance of the State Council. Literature masters, appear on the show, and make publications...

He also won the Lu Xun Literature Award Literary Theory Review Award!

Many times, the fire in my heart is extinguished, and it is difficult to ignite it again, especially for people like Chen Mengxi who have no pursuit of life...

But then I thought about it...

Isn’t this about selling books?

"Red Lotus" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Jingjue Ancient City" have all been completed. Chen Mengxi has also negotiated with editor Gao Yanhua from Baihua Literature and will be officially released next month...

So should I take the opportunity to hype it up?

After all, if you don’t operate, although you can still become popular, it will definitely not be as good as the results after multi-party operations...

...

"Can you briefly talk about "Rose Red Lotus"?"

"This script is what I thought of after watching "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Ethics is the theme, thriller and horror films. In fact, the most traditional thing about thriller is to deal with scary methods and purely pursue sensory stimulation! What I remember most is "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village", which scared me so much that I didn't dare to go to the toilet in the middle of the night... Movies with connotations but no skills are often not market winners, and both will become classics, so there are very few classic horror films!"

"When I was creating "Rose Red Lotus", I first thought of a big theme: stepmother and child. How can I tell this story in full, so that people can stimulate the senses while also passing the examination... The protagonist can only be mentally ill, and everything she experiences is hallucination..."

"In order to make the logic reasonable, the heroine wiped her sister's psychological burden on her back..."

Chen Mengxi spent five minutes roughly telling the script structure and content of "Rose Red Lotus".

Wei Wuchang listened very much...

At the beginning, he just wanted to get the interview and chatted with Chen Mengxi for a few words. He really felt that he was very talented...

The same thing is said, the vision that is twenty years ahead of the times is not something that can be seen!

"I heard that "Rose Red Lotus" was the first prize-winning work in the script competition of Qing Film Studio, and then he fell in love with Rong Xingda..."

Chen Mengxi nodded: "Yes."

"Have they invited you as a screenwriter?"

“…I asked me to join the group, but I didn’t go.”

Wei Wuchang was very interested: "Why, isn't this a good opportunity?"

Chen Mengxi shook her head: "What's the point of being a new screenwriter? At most, according to the opinions of the director, producer or even actor... They all say 'script script, the book of a play.'. Who really respects the creator of the script?"

"So, you didn't agree?"

"Well... I don't lack work, so now I'm just working with the "Underground Transportation Station"!"

"Then what do you think of director Li Shaohong?"

Finally got to the point!

Chen Mengxi changed his position, raised his legs, and said, "...It's normal. She doesn't even bother to watch the original "Orange is Red", let alone me, a fledgling little screenwriter!"

This is very famous...

Li Shaohong said on various occasions...

Maybe he brags that he didn't read the original work and made a classic work.

Wei Wuchang smiled and said, "Then what do you think?"

"I didn't have any ideas, I expected it before, otherwise I wouldn't have refused to be a screenwriter..."

"That's your work after all! You won't be sad that someone has changed it beyond recognition?"

"…It must be sad, but let's put ourselves in the shoes of others. I am a new screenwriter and my script is attracted by a big director in the circle. Can I still reject her? Do I have the right to choose?"

Wei Wuchang quickly asked, "So, aren't you not angry, but you just think it's useless?"

Chen Mengxi did not answer directly, but said another thing: "The screenwriter's status is very low, mainly due to the weak intellectual property rights! In the crew, except for the venue, extras, and general actors, the screenwriter has the lowest status. The screenwriter released the script, but he didn't know what it would be like later. It was vain with the screenwriter. Some of them didn't even have it. Many actors temporarily changed the script and didn't care about the screenwriter at all!"

"This is not the most frustrating thing. The most frustrating thing is that you have to listen to many directors complaining about 'This industry lacks good screenwriters'..."

"This is the norm. If you just find a screenwriter, he will have a lot of things to say!"

Wei Wuchang was not that easy to pass on, so he simply asked directly: "What do you think of director Li Shaohong?"

“…”

Chen Mengxi was silent for a moment, and then said, "I have heard a saying before, "The most important thing about being in the literary and artistic circle is qualifications. As long as you have been with long enough and have experienced, you are a respected artist, but talent does not increase with age..."

This is the worst sentence he said in this interview...

Wei Wuchang's eyes lit up: "So, are you saying that director Li Shaohong has no talent?"

"Many of our literary and artistic workers can't keep up with the times. What era are we now? With the arrival of the Internet, all the excellent works, movies, TV series in the world are coming one after another, and the aesthetic ability of many movie fans and drama fans has risen sharply! It cannot be said that Director Li has no talent, but her or their generation of directors are more like the product of an era. She is good at it, but due to knowledge and lack of systemic knowledge, it will be unable to make progress, and will gradually be abandoned by the times."

This sentence is heartfelt...

Of course, it is unknown what will happen after Wei Wuchang's processing...

Finally, Wei Wuchang was about to leave. Before leaving, Chen Mengxidao: "Reporter Wei, can you say a novel version of "Rose Red Lotus" when introducing my resume to the market in September?"

Wei Wuchang nodded: "Of course there is no problem!"

"By the way, I still have a new book called "Ghost Blows Out the Light"..."
