The words he said the rest of his life were very sincere, but for some reason, Su Nuannuan felt that it was a little awkward listening to him.
"I didn't think that Senior Yu would be so famous now, but I still didn't forget about it. This made me admire him a lot. I hope that I can be like you in the future."
"Junior Sister Su is Professor Chen's closing disciple. With how concerned Professor Chen is for you, your achievements in the future will definitely surpass mine."
He lowered his voice a little for the rest of his life, saying in a voice only he and Su Nuannuan could hear, "You and I are junior brothers and sisters, so there are some things that should be said straightforwardly. Honestly speaking, the screenwriter circle and entertainment industry are pretty much the same, and they're both places that require one's talent and background. As long as Junior Sister Su's works aren't too bad, with Professor Chen's current position in the circle, she'll definitely be able to push your script towards a large company.
As she thought that Su Nuannuan was interested in this, she continued, "Once there's an award, no matter what you write in the future, and no matter what the quality of the writing is, there will definitely be a film and television company that will pay for it. Once they buy away the copyright, you will be able to earn a fortune."
"Regardless of the quality of the work? As long as there's a prize? "But the audience isn't stupid. They can always distinguish whether a piece of work is good or bad. Isn't the box office proof that everything is good?"
Hearing that, for the rest of his life, he looked at Su Nuannuan with a gaze that seemed as if he was saying it, "Do you really think that the current audience has such a strong ability to distinguish between man and cloud? Whatever others say, they will believe it. Honestly speaking, it's not really important whether or not the movie looks good or not. The most important thing is whether or not the actors in the movie are all celebrities or whether or not they bring their own box office; in addition, whether or not a movie succeeds is also dependent on the operation of the film company. It's not important whether or not the movie looks good or not, it's important whether or not the actors in the movie are all celebrities or whether or not they bring their own box office; furthermore, whether or not a movie succeeds or not, it's not important whether or not the movie is successful.
The more Su Nuannuan listened to the rest, the more his eyebrows furrowed.
In the beginning, the sound of their conversation was very soft, but when it reached the point of pride, it unconsciously grew louder. Even the people at the next table heard it, not to mention the people at the other table next to them. "Hahahahahaha …" "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha… … … … …
Not only did they not object to the rest of their discussion, they even nodded their heads repeatedly. It seemed like they agreed with this point of view quite a lot.
"You all feel that the quality of the work isn't important, what's important is the marketing techniques that will be used later on?"
Su Nuannuan looked at the master's and doctoral students beside him, and his heart slowly grew cold.
"It's not that it's not important, but no matter how good the work is, without capital, it can't be film and television, how would the audience know that this work exists. In this era, it's so impatient, who would be able to patiently read a book, let alone a script? Even ordinary people can't see the script, it can be said that if the script can't be visualized, then it would lose all of its value."
"That's right!" Another guy nodded and sighed helplessly, "We are still a writer, so we are still a playbook creator. Our hearts are more or less clear, as long as we have a way, we won't delve into these things, it's just that this is the current situation in the industry, if we don't compromise, it would be death, now what is not capital as a king, what is capital as capital, capital as capital as capital as capital, investors invest in, and think about how to earn back the money, the work is good, but without a flow of celebrities, without enough exposure and hot spots, who can spend money to watch this movie?"
"That's right, not only the marketing number, but also the film companies that now hire the water army to make extremely provocative movie reviews online as well as on some movie scoring websites. Raising themselves up and belittling others, these are all open competition methods in the industry, whoever wins in the end doesn't care about the script, but the marketing methods behind it, and the strength of the film companies backing them. It can be said that this is a contest of capital, not just a simple contest of works, so, for people like us, if we can't rely on a strong film company, we might as well stay in the school to teach, or at least we'll be able to fool ourselves."
When it came to practical problems, everyone expressed their thoughts. However, these thoughts were filled with despair, helplessness, and compromise.
Su Nuannuan originally thought that this would be a group filled with vigor and fighting spirit, but now, she saw a completely different side to what she had imagined.
It would be a lie if she said she wasn't disappointed, but she also knew that this was reality. Back then, in order to earn more money for the script, she had forced herself to write a letter for her CEO.
If she hadn't met Tang Yifeng today, with him paving the way for her and the large amount of support he had behind her, it would have been simply impossible for her to have the opportunity to write down what she liked.
"But, a script is just the foundation of a play. If the quality of the script doesn't pass, and if we rely solely on the flow of celebrities and marketing to support the box office, is there any meaning to a screenwriter?"
Actually, Su Nuannuan already had an answer in her heart, she just wanted to use this kind of question to let everyone present slightly change their attitude.
"How could it be meaningless? If the movie is sold, then the screenwriter can use this movie's box office as the selling point and increase his salary in the next movie!"
The rest of his life, Su Nuannuan replied.
Su Nuannuan turned her head and looked at the remaining of his life. She could not see any guilt or guilt in his eyes, and he felt that it was only natural. But not long ago, he had said that what he wanted was not fame, but fame. But could this be his original intention?
After noticing Su Nuannuan's expression for the rest of his life, he suddenly realized that he had leaked his mouth. Lowering his eyelids, his eyeballs quickly rolled a few times. When he once again raised his head, he already had an excuse in his heart.
"Of course, what I'm saying is that you have just entered this industry as new writers, and that you need to do something to increase your own influence. When you no longer worry about money and have your own connections in this circle, then you still need to think of a way to find your true nature. Just like what Tuan Tuan said, the script is the true form of the play, and only when the work is done, can you give yourself a longer term path."
The rest of his life was, after all, the work of a writer who was already quite famous in the industry. His words of experience were naturally revered by the younger juniors and juniors who had yet to officially enter the screenwriting circle.
However, Su Nuannuan still felt that there was something wrong with the words she said the rest of her life. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally understood.
A screenwriter had given up on his own determination when he entered the industry. Once he became famous, he would have to go through quite a long period of time. After losing his true heart for such a long time, how could he get it back as soon as he wanted?
Su Nuannuan looked at the remaining of his life. She didn't want to think that others were fake, and before today, she had always been respectful towards him, but the words he had said just now made her hold back on his character.
She remembered that when she was young, she would often listen to the old people in her hometown lecturing her children, saying that it was very difficult for a person to learn well, but it was very easy for a person to learn badly. Once a person was able to indulge themselves, enjoy the pleasure of indulgence, then it would be even harder for them to stop thinking about others than to ascend to heaven.
For no reason at all, what had stimulated him so much that he had to go back to school and calm his heart? Didn't he say just now that people were restless and that the entire market would only look at traffic and not quality?
He suddenly said that he had earned enough money, so wouldn't it be strange for him to regain his initial heart?
And at this time, surrounded by people, talking and talking for the rest of his life, he did not notice the expression in Su Nuannuan's eyes as he sized him up.
When he felt that Su Nuannuan, who was beside him, was speechless, he thought that she was just like his junior sisters and junior brothers, because she was listening too earnestly, so she spoke with even more excitement. It was as if she wanted to let Su Nuannuan know how he had gone from a nameless little screenwriter, through these so-called little tricks, slowly become one of the most popular dramas.
Su Nuannuan slightly lowered his head, and listened to the speech that he had for the rest of his life.
Is this even a screenwriter? He had no bottom line and was deliberately climbing up the stairs. He was clearly a mercenary businessman.
"I think that there are conditions for a person's freedom at any time. Before you guys have the right to choose, you might as well throw away your meaningless dignity and so-called morality. Only when you're in a high position will you have the right to say no!"
After speaking for more than half an hour, he finally finished his' lecture 'for the rest of his life. During that time, several junior brothers and sisters continuously toasted him.
