I really didn't expect to see a TV series about writers in my lifetime: "Can't Write It ~ Screenwriter Keisuke Yoshimaru's Unorganized Life"
Yoshimaru Keisuke, a family cook, has been unemployed at home for five years.
For five years, he has been contracting housework.
The house he now lives in was bought by his wife, Nami Yoshimaru.
Although Yoshimaru has always been idle at home, he has always had a distant dream: to become a TV screenwriter.
During his work, he used his rest time to create, and finally his efforts paid off, winning a newcomer award.
So he made up his mind to quit and go home to concentrate on everything full-time screenwriting.
But his path to screenwriting has not been smooth.
Someone once asked him: Do you have any TV series that you can get your hands on?
What should he say?
Should I say that when others can't write it, go to the firefighters temporarily?
Say you've written a 2-hour TV series?
Or have they been squeezed by unscrupulous directors and producers?
When confronted with the ruthless ridicule of his wife's secretary, he received a phone call: Would you like to be a screenwriter for a prime-time TV series?
His chance is coming?
This film was released on January 16, 2012, Douban score 7.5, netizens commented on this TV series: relying on the inner OS can complete a whole drama of the small screenwriter was squeezed by the strange party A poor social animal life record
Although this is a story about a family cook who wants to become a screenwriter. But its essence is to tell us that everyone should not give up what they love, not to work hard to be successful, there are many ways to succeed, and doing what they like is also a kind of success.
In addition to the novel theme of this film, the main cast is also very luxurious, Kitamura Arikiya, Koike Tetsuhei, Okada Shosei, Yoshisumi Michiko, Ikuta Doujin.
Here I need to focus on Ikuda Doujin, I know him through the TV series "My Things Are Long".
In that TV series, Ikuta Douzhen really opened his mouth and brought the image of a wasted young man to life in front of me.
And in this play, you will find that he seems to have the shadow of that play (to be honest, the two dramas can be seamlessly connected!). A scrap wood unemployment, reemployment, marriage, re-employment of the whole process).
No wonder some people commented: Ikuta Doujin found his own style after "My Family's Business is Long", and there is no opponent with the same popularity status in this field, there is a future
Since it is about the work and life of the screenwriter, it is necessary to mention the difficulties encountered by the screenwriter in the production of the TV series.
When I watched this TV series, I still had a little shock in my heart.
For example, they will encounter unreasonable demands from some traffic stars, asking them to adapt the script according to their own methods.
For example, the producer of the TV series does not have any ideas about the theme of the show, and the only thing he wants is to become a hit and make himself popular.
For example, because of the force majeure factors, the original story direction can be changed at will.
For example, the screenwriter is insane due to excessive nervousness.
For example, producers and directors will squeeze screenwriters to ask them to write down the script within two days.
Seeing these really refreshed my three views, I really didn't expect that as a writer, we were so lowly in their eyes!
Although this TV series uses a humorous and mocking tone to show the situation of the screenwriter in the real world, it mocks the vices of the TV station in the real world. But this drama still allows us to see the helplessness and rules of reality.
For example, when you put forward a different opinion, the director will tell you: I don't understand, but the starring role is the sky, everything is king of traffic, so it must be done.
For example, when a screenwriter asks why he should listen to the lead actor, the director will teach him: I think it's normal for the actor to give his opinion, and your worldview doesn't matter at all in the play.
For example, the director will tell you that a professional screenwriter is to be able to complete the various requirements put forward by the dramatist.
Although I am not engaged in the same work as Yoshimaru, we are both writers, so I can only describe his situation as empathetic.
I have been in this business for three years, and after three years of hard work, it is a small achievement and a little more economically generous.
But every time I create, it's really exhausting! Sometimes I really do my best to ensure the quality of my work.
For those who do not understand this line, the writer's words should be pinched by hand, and the water will come to fruition, but when I entered this line, I realized that it was not the same thing!
The creative process is like a needle in a haystack, and it is extremely painful! After writing a paragraph every time, the brain goes blank.
For us, only the moment when the article is finished is the moment when we are happiest.
In fact, there is a big problem that bothers me: I always like to compare myself with others. Whenever I conceive of an article, or want to write a movie, I will benchmark the big one. Of course, there are many advantages to the benchmark size.
For example, you can imitate their writing, take fewer detours, and learn their organizational structure. But I also involuntarily compare, and when I do, my inferiority complex arises. This has led to my own lack of courage to write my own characteristics.
But in this film, there is a passage that makes me suddenly enlightened: I know that literary creation is very hard work. Mr. Yoshimaru, your world should pursue your own creative style, and novelists and screenwriters are jobs that cannot compete for the ranks!
Maybe this sentence has a little chicken soup for the soul, or maybe it still can't make me overcome the fear of writing, nor can I soothe my deep inferiority. But this sentence still made me see the hope of this truth of the writer.
Surely some people will ask: Why do you insist on it if it is painful? Isn't it great to eat and drink all day and go to work and sleep?
But for me, I've been living like this for 27 years, and I don't want to live anymore! Before I was 27, I did everything halfway and didn't get anything. And this time I just wanted to see how long I could hold out. You may not be rich, but at least you can support yourself!
In the last episode of the story, Yoshimaru's TV series did not become a hit after all, and his life did not get much improvement.
He still lives an ordinary life as before, usually doing housework and having time to write stories. After all, he knew that he was an ordinary person without any talent.
But he asked the producer a question like this: Do I have any talent as an editor? At that time, DongHailin replied: If you can stick to it for ten years, then doesn't it mean that you are very suitable for editing?
It turns out that the so-called success does not have to be more famous, how rich, as long as you do what you like is a kind of success!
