Actor: My Entertainment Era

Film and television is a circle. Looking at the market-oriented development of the domestic film and television industry in the past ten years, there have been batches of financial backers, including entities, coal diggers, and real estate developers...

Each of them is powerful and has a lot of money, but after they come in, they will all be skinned by the film and television industry.

Now, here comes the Internet guy.

In the eyes of film and television company bosses, this is a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. They are no different from the coal bosses ten years ago. They are rich but do not understand film and television creation.

The difference may be that the sheep of the Internet is fatter than any other sheep that has entered the fold before.

The meat is fat, and the courage is also fat.

Come in and start telling stories, and use the Internet to subvert the film and television industry.

Most of the bosses of film companies have a dismissive attitude towards this. Kodak has said this, and Sony has also said this. How many have made it?

The old people will not let newcomers enter the circle so easily. Everyone has an underlying tacit understanding to teach these new Internet upstarts a lesson and let them know who is the boss in this circle.

There is no need for traditional film and television capital to take action, and their arrogance will let them know.

On the 27th, just a few days after the news that Feng Xiaogang had crossed over to win the Golden Horse Best Actor, Ahri blew a hole in the industry.

Xu Yuanxiang, vice president of Ali Pictures, made the following outrageous remarks in the forum "Why rush originality and IP to compete?":

"Our current method is completely subversive. We will no longer hire professional screenwriters, including talking to many international directors. We will hire IP post bar owners and countless fellow novel writers, and pick the ten best ones. Form a group, and then select a few people to write stories. I don’t want you to write scripts. Even if you write stories, they will be eliminated continuously like a killing game. In the end, the person who writes the best will be given a heavy reward, and then he will be retained as a screenwriter or even a storyteller. It is the original title of the story. Then we will work with professional screenwriters under the guidance of these big directors. We think this is in line with the development process of super IP. Nowadays, many people are talking about IP, but not everyone has IP. Develop capabilities.”

Good guy, it suddenly ignited the anger of the entire industry.

The status of screenwriters in the industry is inherently low. Except for a few big screenwriters, the crew can change scripts whether they are humans or dogs. Screenwriters are already dissatisfied with this status quo, and now you are saying that you don’t want professional screenwriters.

Who will die if you don't die?

The speed at which this matter spread was in line with the spirit of the Internet. As soon as the forum closed, Xu Yuanxiang was scolded and became a hot search topic the next morning.

Dong Runnian, the screenwriter of "Lao Pao Er" and "Heart Blossoms" said: "Putting Tieba owners and countless fellow novel writers together to kill each other is not called creation, it is called breeding. This is a trampling on the dignity of all people. Creation is fundamentally about people’s hearts, not money.”

Wen Jun, the former chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, couldn't stand it anymore: "If you had money, you could make a good movie. Li Jiacheng would have taken action long ago. When will it be the turn of these rich people?!"

Shu Huan, the screenwriter of "Embarrassed in Thailand" and "Embarrassed in Hong Kong", directly complained: "So majestic, so murderous, and running around with your tongue is a disease that needs to be cured." Wang Lifu said very radically that he would not write a word for Ah Li: " Let me write you a word, I am not the son of a father.”

Wang Lifu started, and many screenwriters stated on Weibo that they would not cooperate with Ahri: "Ari Pictures, please go ahead and don't give it away."

More and more screenwriters joined the ranks of criticizing Ahri. That afternoon, Xu Yuanxiang could no longer withstand the pressure and issued a statement on Weibo: "A personal speech at the forum yesterday caused fierce controversy in the industry. I would like to make the following explanation: First, I As a screenwriter, I know the importance of scripts and have a long-standing respect for fellow screenwriters. Secondly, the media quoted some quotes out of context. It is recommended that everyone read the full text and refer to the context of the conversation at the time. Thirdly, I have never said that as long as IP Not scriptwriters, but IP and scriptwriters constitute the front-end and back-end of the script industry chain. I look forward to cooperating with you!”

Xu Yuanxiang's statement did not calm the anger of the screenwriters. Song Fangjin did not let him go and quickly responded: "Mr. Xu, I have read the full text. First, the screenwriter is greater than and will always be greater than the script, and is the owner of the script. Some screenwriters will voluntarily give up This right, this is his right. Second, the script is a chain of the film and television industry, but the script itself cannot be broken down into the industrial chain, and it cannot be broken down into the front-end and the back-end. Third, creating scripts using the cultivation method is harmful to the writer. The challenge of dignity. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”

Many melon-eaters were actually led astray. Xu Yuanxiang said two paragraphs on the forum at that time. The first paragraph said there was no need for screenwriters, which aroused attacks from the screenwriters. The next paragraph he scolded the audience who bought tickets to watch the movie:
"In the past two years, I have studied a term that is very interesting. This term is called 'Diaosi ticket buying psychology'. The Chinese film market is close to 500 billion, the average audience age is 21.3 years old, and about 85% to 86% of the group comes from 19 years old. By the age of 29, it means that all of you sitting on the stage have been abandoned by the movie box office. It can be said that your total, plus so many people outside, is a little more than 10% of the box office.

What does this reality determine? I think there are three things. First, there is an IP, and second, there is a strong star cast. In places like South Korea, Taiwan, and Italy, directors are worth much less than stars. Although the story sucks, it has a stellar cast and I could at least watch some faces. Article 3: Do you have a concept for this movie and is it possible to counterattack it? If none of these three conditions are met, you will definitely lose everything. This is the psychology of buying tickets for diaosi. "

This is more than just a violent argument, this is simply the act of lighting up a lantern in the toilet!
Seeing that things were evolving out of control, the CEO of Ali Pictures hurriedly spoke out: "As the core of the content industry, the importance of screenwriters is undoubted. Ali Pictures' respect for screenwriters and other professionals has always been unwavering and has never wavered. Explore and practice realistic ways to create the future of the industry with colleagues in professional fields such as screenwriters.”

There are also Ari Pictures executives who communicated privately with the screenwriters: Xu's statement does not represent Ahri Pictures.

In fact, Ali Pictures’ attitude towards the film and television industry can still be seen from its CEO’s speech.

Although he was criticized by the screenwriter, he had no choice but to admit that screenwriting is very important, but in the end he still said that he wanted to "create the future of the industry." He did not say that he wanted to cooperate with others to make a movie. He still felt that when they entered an industry, they had to create the future of the industry. .

Zhang Yuanjun was immersed in filming on the sea in Qingdao, and the cold sea breeze made him doubt his life.

By the time he learned that Ahri had made screenwriters across the country unhappy, two days had passed.

He is also a screenwriter. Although he does not accept outside work, he is very aware of the plight of screenwriters.

Rather than saying that the screenwriters collectively attacked Ali Pictures this time because Ali had touched the screenwriters’ cake, it would be better to say that they were expressing their concerns and anger towards the industry.

Zhang Yuanjun also couldn't stand Ah Li's behavior. He just brought money in and followed others and invested honestly. It wouldn't be too late to jump in after making money.

I can't wait, I have to call for changing the industry when I first started, and if everyone doesn't hit you, who will hit you?

Zhang Yuanjun was still thinking about Ah Li, when Xiao Zhao sat over and said, "Ali said there is a book and we will be scheduled for next year."

"Huh???" (End of chapter)
