Some time ago, "Happiness to Ten Thousand Families", did you watch it?
Anyway, I was very hot.
The biggest attraction at the beginning is in the matter of marriage, and then lucky was forced by pressure and the temptation of various conditions to finally choose reconciliation (compromise), well, in reality, it is likely to be so, I endured.
Later, Xiuyu's replacement incident was actually an understatement to apologize.
Let's say, if you don't dare to shoot, or can't shoot from a deep and interesting angle, then you can choose not to shoot, and you don't have to play the gimmick of sticking to social hotspots and repeatedly cheapening the whole series.
After the finale, Zhao Dongling, the screenwriter of the play, posted an article on his social media account, directly pointing out that the original script was changed beyond recognition, completely deviating from the original intention of the original creation.
Thus, a classic question is thrown up again:
Screenwriters are not valued and have no say.
But as Zhao Dongling sincerely expressed in the text: "We are dancing with shackles, sometimes we dance better, sometimes we dance ugly, but we do not choose to eat and wait for death because of the existence of shackles."
These excellent screenwriters are exactly where the hope of domestic film and television dramas lies.
Below, I will rank the 10 best screenwriters in the field of domestic TV dramas, and screenwriters who are mainly movies will not appear in this list. In addition, this list is only for "positive dramas", so Liang Zuo and Ning Caishen, who are famous for sitcoms, are also excluded, and many writers do not actually participate in the screenwriting work, but only because they are the original authors, so they give respect.
Of course, these "pseudonymous" screenwriters are also excluded.
TOP10, Wang Haiyu
Since the 1980s, Wang Haiyu, who crossed the threshold of 30 years old, began her own creative path, and it was not long before she wrote her first novella, "Their Way", yes, from the beginning it was a female perspective.
As a female writer, Wang Haiyu once confessed:
"I find that I don't know anything about men, about what he thinks, including men with whom I had a baby."
As a soldier, she did not find any difference between men and women in her youth, because in that era, women were portrayed as "Iron Maidens".
Since 1992, Wang Haiyu has officially transformed into a TV drama screenwriter with "Love You Are Not Negotiable", and then the success of "Holding Hands" and "Chinese Divorce" has given her the reputation of "the first writer of Chinese marriage".
At the beginning of this year, CCTV's new year-opening drama "The World of Man" once again pulled the 70-year-old Wang Haiyu back into the public eye.
After he took over, Wang Haiyu also had a lot of differences with the original author Liang Xiaosheng.
But she has her own unique understanding of this work:
"The original tones are steely and gray, giving a tough, tenacious feel, but at the same time heavy. And I personally want life to be bright and warm. Any life, it has two sides, just like everyone living in a collective, will have different feelings. ”
TOP9, Sea Rock
For many young audiences now, Haiyan is already a too unfamiliar name, but if you go back 15 or 20 years ago, he is a real ace writer for domestic dramas, and he is also a complete "star-making machine".
Haiyan's experience is extremely rich.
His grandmother was the famous red female agent Liao Linghang, and his father was a famous playwright, but his parents divorced very early, and at the age of 15, Haiyan enlisted in the army and retired to become a police officer after 6 years.
After 10 years as a police officer, Haiyan finally completed his first novel, Plainclothes Policeman, which was converted to a 12-episode TV series two years later, and he became a hit.
Haiyan is not only a screenwriter, but also the general manager and chairman of many companies.
Like many people in that era, he broke away from the system, chose to go to the sea to do business, and did a very good job, at the same time, Haiyan did not let go of the pen he created.
With the popularity of "Never Look Away" and "Jade Guanyin", Haiyan, who has always had in-depth cooperation with Zhao Baogang, has been crowned the title of "Godfather of Romance" by insiders, and in addition, his star-making ability is also solid.
Just like the two works mentioned earlier, Lu Yi and Sun Li were popular respectively.
After entering the second decade of the 21st century, Haiyan has hardly produced any new works, mostly remakes of his previous works or changing TV series into movies.
This also marked the end of the era that belonged to Haiyan.
TOP8, Zhao Dongling
When she first received the original novel "The Legend of Qiu Ju" of "Happiness to Ten Thousand Families", Zhao Dongling once refused, because on the basis of the original work, she could not see that she could make interesting changes, but when she finally decided to take over, she still chose to "sprinkle wild again", but the result was obviously not satisfactory.
Coincidentally, like Wang Haiyu, Zhao Dongling has also become a professional TV drama screenwriter since 1992.
In Zhao Dongling's works, she is often better at portraying characters than describing a thing, and it can be seen that she has a strong sense of historical mission and social responsibility, as well as a sense of distress and humanistic care that a literati should have.
For how to shoot the main theme grounded, the grounded grounded film interesting, the interesting film meaningful, the meaningful film not deliberate, Zhao Dongling also has her own understanding of the more preferred realist works: "What is realism? No pretense, no dwarfing, no exaggeration, asking real questions, facing the real reality. ”
For example, in "Police Honor", she shows us a steaming, very pyrotechnic world.
In this play, whether it is four pairs of teachers and apprentices, or the director and instructor, let us see that they are also ordinary people, they may not be able to solve big cases every day, and there may not be strong dramatic conflicts and suspense in the play.
What can win is still a strong sense of life.
In the end, under Zhao Dongling's pen, she made us believe that everything is true and has happened around us. Extended, it is "Guarding the Liberation of the West" that has been simply processed with art.
TOP7, Long Pingping
Before the "Age of Awakening" aired, many people probably hadn't heard of the name Long Pingping.
His grandfather was Cui Xiaozhai, the first secretary of the CCP organization in Hefei, and Long Pingping himself was one of Mr. Wu Wenzao's closed disciples, and had long served in the Literature Research Office of the CPC Central Committee and was also an expert in deng Xiaoping Theory.
When filming "Deng Xiaoping at the Turning Point of History", Long Pingping, as the chief screenwriter, felt a lot of pressure.
At the beginning of the creation of the play, only the detailed episode outline was made a total of more than a dozen drafts, and after the review was approved, it entered the stage of "selecting some chapters for trial writing", and they experienced a total of 5 rounds of "overturning and rewriting".
Later, when creating "The Age of Awakening", Long Pingping was worried that young audiences would not want to watch it.
Although there are many plots, he wrote it with tears, and many young actors in the play are also shooting with tears. Especially when filming the scene at the Paris Peace Conference, most of the people present cried.
Obviously, it is a victorious country, why is it the treatment of a defeated country?
A hundred years ago, China experienced many humiliations, the Paris Peace Conference was only one of them, Long Pingping was thinking at this time, such a thing can touch so many people, young audiences should also be touched, right?
After the TV series was broadcast, the nervous Long Pingping received the most feedback from young friends.
Many of them spontaneously went to the street signs on Yanqiao Road in Hefei, Anhui Province, to lay flowers, and at the Longhua Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery in Shanghai, many of them took flowers and placed them in front of the tombstones of Martyrs Chen Yannian, Chen Qiaonian, Zhao Shiyan and other martyrs.
Finally winning the Magnolia Award for Best Original Screenplay is well deserved for Long Pingping.
TOP6, Wang Shuo
Whether you like Wang Shuo or not, you can't deny that he has used his works, or his "leper literature", to leave a strong mark in the history of Chinese literature.
In the eyes of many people, Wang Shuo, like his works, is always a cynical look.
The experience of living in the compound of the military region since childhood provided a lot of nourishment for Wang Shuo's later works, such as the later novel "Animal Fierceness" and so on, but what really made Wang Shuo famous was another novel, "Half Flame, Half Seawater".
Wang Shuo, who entered the peak period of creation, was out of control.
Based on his works, "Addiction", "Days Related to Youth", as well as "Sunny Days", "Stubborn Lord" and so on, wang Shuo has gained a lot in movies and TV series.
Wang Shuo, once "fed" countless entertainment media.
Because of his temperament and slightly "arrogant", he will always say something that the entertainment media is willing to hear in the interview, and sometimes in order to attract attention, these entertainment media even make up and misinterpret Wang Shuo's words.
This also caused Wang Shuo and the entertainment media to have a "cold war" that lasted for more than a decade.
Today's Wang Shuo has long been smoothed out by the years when he was young, and from recent photos, he has lost the sharpness he once had, more like a kind and kind old man, but the legend of this old man continues.
TOP5, Jiang Qitao
A few days ago, after the historical drama "If Life Is Like First Sight" experienced a storm of sudden withdrawal, sudden launch, and sudden removal, both director Wang Wei and screenwriter Jiang Qitao were pushed to the cusp of public opinion.
For many years, the label around Jiang Qitao's body is the most well-known, that is, "mysterious".
When Jiang Qitao was the screenwriter of the film and television drama, every time the producer received a call from a reporter, the first sentence would say: "Other people can cooperate with the interview, except for the screenwriter Jiang Qitao, who never accepts any media interviews."
Regarding Jiang Qitao's true identity, there are many speculations in the media, either directly after the gate, or the children of the big courtyard with military experience, otherwise he could not have combined real historical figures and major events so easily.
Especially after the broadcast of "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes", this speculation is even more supportive.
The famous director Zhang Li's statement is more authoritative.
In Zhang Li's eyes, Jiang Qitao, a soldier, is a person who is not good at writing emotional dramas, and the two have known each other since 1986, because Zhang Li read a novel by Jiang Qitao at that time, called "Horseshoe Sound Shattering".
But regardless of his identity, Jiang Qitao's works are familiar to most audiences.
After completing "Blood Colored Child's Heart" and "Red Cherry", Jiang Qitao cooperated with famous directors Hu Mei, Zhang Qian and Zhang Li respectively, and successively contributed classic works such as "Han Wu Emperor", "Bright Sword", "The Right Way in the World is Vicissitudes" and so on.
TOP4, Jiang Wei
Like Guo Jingyu, Jiang Wei is also an all-rounder in the TV drama circle, not only a famous director, but also a screenwriter in many cases, but compared with the former, the average level of Jiang Wei's works is much higher.
The spy drama "Latent" has been seen by many people and is also a landmark work of the genre.
The play is adapted from the short story of the same name by writer Long Yi, which is only more than 10,000 words in total, and when Jiang Wei, as a director, decided to shoot this novel, he already had a good idea of adaptation in his mind.
As a result, a 30-episode spy drama adapted from a short story was put on the screen.
In fact, long before this "Latent", Jiang Wei was already a mature director and screenwriter, whether it was "Don't Talk to Strangers", or "Silent Witness" and "Blue Bird's Sky", which is enough to prove his deep screenwriting skills.
Jiang Wei, who is stubborn, belongs to the typical type of person who either does not do it or do it and does it to be the best.
Whenever he gets a good book, he will always spend a lot of effort to polish the script first, because in his opinion, only the script is perfect, and everything that follows is a natural thing.
But such a veteran also has a "rollover" moment.
In 2017, Jiang Wei took his own self-written and self-directed "Hunting Ground" that he polished for five years, and returned to the public vision again, but this time, the flawed plot and the ungrounded bridge section made Jiang Wei, who has always liked to try fresh themes, eat a solid and solid meal.
TOP3, high full hall
In 2008, CCTV's opening year drama chose the era legend drama "Breaking into Kanto", which not only created a rating myth of more than 11% after the broadcast, but also made the acting careers of Li Youbin, Sarina, Song Jia, Niu Li and others reach the peak.
For Gao Mantang, the explosion of "Breaking into Kanto" is gratifying, but this is just the product of thick accumulation.
Gao Mantang's parents both broke into the Kanto to come to Dalian, since he was a child, he grew up listening to such stories, there are 6 brothers and sisters in the family, life is naturally much more difficult than the average family.
But it is also the hard life experience since childhood that allows Gao Mantang to establish a writing style of "not following the trend, closely following the pulse of realism", and when creating, he often goes to collect the style, that is, two or three months.
Especially when creating "Breaking into Kanto".
The script outline of the play, Gao Mantang has revised five times, and in 2006, he rushed to Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning to collect wind, almost every inch of land in the three eastern provinces, and the journey reached more than 7,000 kilometers.
But Gao Mantang's story doesn't stop there.
In dramas such as "There Are Nine Phoenixes in the Family", "Wrong Love", "The North Wind That Blows", we can see everywhere that in the heart of Gao Mantang, a seemingly rough northeast Manzi, the infinite slenderness and tenderness.
This is completely different from the tragedy and pride embodied in his previous works.
TOP2, Lan Xiaolong
In the morning, I also joked with my friends that in the Chinese film and television circle, the name "Xiaolong" is really good, the director has Zheng Xiaolong, the actor has Zhang Xiaolong, and the screenwriter has Lan Xiaolong.
In Lan Xiaolong's self-perception, he is a person in the "yin and yang worlds."
As he described the dragon in "My Regiment Leader My Regiment": "I have such a demon in front of me, the demon is wisdom, the evil is against the current, he can easily make a group of people do what they least want to do."
In 1997, the 24-year-old Lan Xiaolong, under the recommendation of his teacher, entered the Beijing Military Region Comrades-in-Arms Drama Troupe and became a professional screenwriter while becoming a soldier.
After the tempering of the troops, Lan Xiaolong's "Erna Assault" won the first prize of the 2002 All-Army New Repertoire Exhibition screenwriting award, and this book is the prototype of the original "Soldier Assault".
In Lan Xiaolong's world, he is a soldier, but he does not like to be restrained, and he subconsciously forgets his identity, and it is precisely this soul that is at both the end of the affirmation and the negation that can write such a unique work as "My Regiment Leader My Regiment", and in his eyes, all the characters in "Regiment Leader" are clowns.
"When I was in school in Chinese opera, I was particularly understanding of the absurd. I am a standard person who thinks that life is absurd, but because of this, I live a more open life. Life is inherently a dilemma, and I am an optimistic pessimist. ”
After handing over "Regiment Leader", "Soldier Assault" and "Life and Death Line", Lan Xiaolong became the screenwriter of the "Chosin Lake" series of movies, and his re-cooperation with Kang Honglei in "Winter and the Lion" is also particularly exciting.
TOP1, Liu Heping
In the screenwriting circle of TV dramas, I really can't convince myself to put anyone in front of Liu Heping, because he is so unique and indispensable, he is the peak of the combination of literature and drama in our time.
Liu Heping was born in 1953 in Hengyang, Hunan.
His father was an editor, his mother was an opera actor, and the family atmosphere was the basis for Liu Heping to become an excellent screenwriter, and what is more legendary and inspirational is that he dropped out of school at the age of 13 and has never been to school since.
According to academic qualifications, Liu Heping is only a primary school graduate.
During his time in the countryside, Liu Heping unexpectedly obtained a copy of the Imperial Approval Zizhi Tongjian, which was nominally titled under the title of The Guangxu Emperor's Imperial Approval, but was actually completed by the conservative and famous courtiers at that time, and also the Guangxu Emperor's emperor Weng Tonggong.
Therefore, Liu Heping often joked that his teacher was Weng Tonggong, a university scholar in the late Qing Dynasty.
After playing the flute for three years, being a language teacher for nine years, and becoming an official screenwriter in 1982, Liu Heping began his "road to opening and hanging", in his only 5 works, "Daming Dynasty 1566" and "Yongzheng Dynasty" became high-scoring works in historical dramas, and it is likely to be the TOP2 in domestic historical dramas.
The other three works, "No War in Peiping", "A Hundred Years in the Canghai Sea" and "Li Wei as an Official", are also popular TV drama masterpieces, in addition, the most anticipated is the new drama "The Song of beidou Nanji" cooperated by him and director Kong Sheng.
