First of all, let me explain that this article is from the Weibo article of the famous screenwriter Li Yaling . Not a word has been changed. The full text is reproduced. The title is taken by the editor. The reason why I reprint this article is because I am really angry. This anger is not because I am angry because I have seen such a weird thing for the first time, but because this kind of thing has always existed, but no one cares about it.
Li Yaling was talking about the screenwriter of the recently popular animated version of "三级". She had been working on it for three years, but when it was broadcast, the name of screenwriter was at the back, and a series of chief screenwriters and screenwriters appeared in front.
In fact, such things are common around us. When it comes to seniority, whoever is senior ranks first, or whoever is rich ranks first, whoever has power ranks first, whoever has power ranks first, but whoever is capable but has no qualifications, no money, no power, no power, then I'm sorry, no matter how capable you are, you have to put your tail between your legs and follow behind. And you can’t talk nonsense, otherwise we will suppress you and remove you from the industry.
People who make trouble like this exist not only in the screenwriting industry, but in all walks of life. But no one cares about it. Do you think it’s irritating?
It’s useless to be angry, reality is reality. Therefore, a more realistic thing arises from the application, that is, no industry can get up or develop, and people are suppressing it.
Okay, that’s all the editor’s complaints. The following is teacher Li Yaling’s article:
The current atmosphere in the film and television industry is really bad, especially after the monopoly is formed.
I have heard of a phenomenon before: when a script is finally hatched and mature, a big boss with the right to speak suddenly designates that a screenwriter he wants to praise must "rewrite the draft"...
The airborne soldier hurriedly completed the revision within a month, and then took away the signature of the chief screenwriter or first screenwriter, and the achievements of other screenwriters who had worked hard and repeatedly revised the script for several years were robbed.
Before entering the industry, I thought screenwriters were the least likely to be robbed, because the works in black and white were there!
After entering the industry, I realized how naive I was.
I have also encountered this kind of plunder: In 2010, after I sold my script for "The Beauty of the Country" to Yuzheng , because I created the entire script first and registered the copyright before selling it to him, it was stipulated in the contract that he could not sign anyone else as the screenwriter and must ensure my independent signature.
As a result, Mr. Yu Zheng found another screenwriter, simply changed a few lines, and then asked for an adaptation to be attached behind my screenwriter signature.
I strongly disagree.
Because the contract I gave him was a licensing contract and the copyright belonged to me, I did not grant him the right to adapt, so he escaped. Yu Zheng finally signed the screenwriter's name as a literary editor.
But when he was interviewed by the media, he denigrated that my script was completely unreadable and had to be rewritten by him.
I was so angry that I posted the entire script on the Internet in advance before he turned on the camera. I publicly stated that if you have the ability, you will rewrite the entire script for me before filming.
The resulting film is exactly the same as my script.
Mr. Yu Zheng, who was slapped in the face, actually slandered my character in the circle and fabricated false scandals about me, which caused me a lot of trouble.
I have learned a lesson since then, and all contracts for purchasing my scripts require an agreement: I must ensure that I am independently signed as the screenwriter on the single screen at the beginning of the film, and I shall not be signed to anyone for any reason, including but not limited to adaptation, rewriting, editor-in-chief, editor, and other positions with similar responsibilities as screenwriters.
In order to take the initiative, I have been insisting on making original works for many years, writing first and then selling them, just to preserve my basic dignity.
In fact, screenwriters are more likely to encounter unfair treatment than celebrities. Because the stars can show their faces after all, everyone can see how many scenes they filmed and how they performed, but no one knows what kind of ravages the screenwriters have gone through behind the scenes.
is especially easy to grab the writer's signature, because there are no standards, no risks, and no gangs. Signing without writing a word, or changing the copywriting to Wonton Hotel or Hotel is considered a modification. Anyway, the screenwriter contract has an overbearing clause: the screenwriter's signature and ranking rights belong to Party A's father.
In the past three years, I have often seen fellow screenwriter Gu Yi@-Daohan- chatting about the adaptation of "The Three-Body Problem" in our screenwriter group. He has also stayed in my house in Hainan for several times to retreat to create. Many of my group friends and I have witnessed his hard work over the past three years.
Now that the animated version of "The Three-Body Problem" has finally come out, the screenwriter group is having a heated debate about the signature issue. I asked Gu Yi, and he sent me the screen recording and screenshots of the main creator of the title. Only then did I know that after three years of hard work, he was signed in the eighth place...
and represents the animation of "The Three-Body Problem" The screenwriter of the film was interviewed and claimed to have "a lot of experience in creating high-quality science fiction works" and was signed as the second "chief screenwriter". Screenwriter Gu had no knowledge before...
If you are a screenwriter, you are like a star. You need to sign with an agency and be packaged and praised in order to get your own glory. Otherwise, you can only marry someone else. What a sad thing!
There is a classic line in the rooftop of "Infernal Affairs":
"Sorry, I am a policeman"
"Who knows?"
Follow-up:
After verification, the screenwriter who took part-time screenwriting class in March this year has the same name as the "chief screenwriter" of the animated version of "The Three-Body Problem", and is not the same person. This is corrected.
But the "chief screenwriter" should be the core figure who leads the entire drama and guides the entire screenwriting team to create the most.
According to the screenwriter Gu Yi@-Daohan-, he did not know that there was this chief screenwriter before he saw the title.
Gu Yi just said that he has reached a consensus with Bilibili, Trisolaris Universe, and Art Painting. In recognition of his actual efforts, the three parties have unanimously agreed to adjust the order of screenwriter signatures.
added:
’s so-called internal information came. While he agreed to Gu Yi’s request to adjust his signature, he continued to declare to the outside world that he was “poorly written” and even fought back against me who was aggrieved.
Look at the evidence posted by screenwriter Gu Yi. All the creative processes of the past three years are saved on his computer, and the trajectory of all script revisions is clear.
Compare how they denigrated screenwriter Gu Yi, directly saying that he "didn't write a single word".
