The TV series "Flowers" has been over for a while, but the show continues to cause a lot of controversy. For example, the visual effects director was dissatisfied with the color grading of the series, and Zhao Chuan denounced the recording copyright of "I Am a Little Bird", etc., and now this wave of controversy has not been resolved, and it was revealed that "Flowers" used an unknown female screenwriter to create a script but did not give people a signature.
According to reports, there was only a movie version of "Flowers" during the preparation period, and A was invited to write the script of "Flowers" for Wong Kar-wai, and B entered the film publicity team under the pull of A. Among them, A has a movie dream, but he is not a filmmaker himself, and uses the script of his debut film "Flowers" as a stepping stone to enter the circle.
But when it comes to Wong Kar-wai, script creation is not easy, and the content written is always vetoed by Wong Kar-wai, causing A to complain non-stop, saying that he often changes the script, and the script of "The Grandmaster" is rumored to have been changed for 4 years, and he is still cooperating with well-known screenwriters in the circle. And A is just a nameless junior, who can only be at the mercy of Wong Kar-wai.
And B also joined the crew by chance, wanting to get the light of the director. In practice, it was found that the company had no clue about the promotion of "Flowers", only a fantasy. After realizing the real situation, B found that he did not have A's determination to resolutely enter the film industry, and chose to resign.
After that, the drama "Flowers" and stage plays were staged one after another, and A panicked when he heard that "Flowers" invited well-known screenwriters in the industry to remake the TV series, and felt that his movie dream was shattered. When the episode "Flowers" was released, A found that his script was used in the TV series, saying that there were several scenes that were exactly the same. She didn't dare to say anything about it.
was asked if the movie would still be made, and A said that he probably wouldn't shoot it anymore. The script fragments written by myself were used in TV dramas, which was painful for the screenwriters. However, A seems to have no other way but to endure it, and he is also depressed.
This is not the first time that "Flowers" has been exposed to the news that it does not sign the screenwriter. Before the start of the TV series, a screenwriter of ALS issued a long article accusing the crew of not giving a signature, saying that the character lines of several protagonists were written by him, and hoped that the crew would give an explanation. But from beginning to end, the crew did not come out to respond. And the screenwriter of the ALS also deleted his long article on rights protection, and the matter was settled.
It's just that on his personal social platform, a large number of behind-the-scenes stories written around the crew of "Flowers" are still retained, exposing the style of the "Flowers" crew, such as the gathering of related households, the big screenwriter bullying the small screenwriter, and so on.
"Flowers" is a work that Wong Kar-wai has been planning to shoot for 10 years, of which seven years have been spent polishing the details of the script, and the behind-the-scenes screenwriters have spoken one after another, which also shows that the behind-the-scenes creation of "Flowers" is large. But if these screenwriters want to succeed in defending their rights, they can't solve the problem by just speaking out in general.
According to the interview with the actors of "Flowers", they all said that Wong Kar-wai does not have a script, and will revise the script according to the essence of the actors, so that they can fit more closely with the characters, and often change the scene while filming. Over time, it is difficult to say which screenwriter actually made those changes. For example, A, she said that several scenes she wrote were used in the plot of the TV series, and she could clearly show the corresponding chapters of the script, which would be more convincing.
However, the script should not be taken by one family. The report mentioned that Wong Kar-wai prepared "Flowers" in 2017, and I heard that it was 2018, but the specific time of contact between the two friends was not mentioned. However, according to an interview with Qin Wen in the TV series "Flowers", Wong Kar-wai found her in September 2017, which indirectly shows that the big screenwriters in the industry also joined the creation at the same time.
Moreover, the filming plan of the TV series "Flowers" was mentioned in the 2014 report, which contradicted A's rhetoric.
In any case, I still hope that the drama party will respect the nameless screenwriter and support the screenwriter to speak for himself, but I hope to come up with strong evidence, otherwise there will be no future for rights protection.
