network, the salaries of actors were not too high, and the difference between the salaries of actors and the staff behind the scenes would not be too large (this is not an assumption, many old actors have said that the wages used to be low).
There is no shortage of people, but there is unevenness. If the proportion of income in front of and behind the scenes is within a reasonable range, only capable screenwriters and directors will have the motivation to work hard. Therefore, in the previous dramas, there were more high-quality dramas, and the plot acting skills were generally not dropped.
After the popularity of the Internet, the influence of the actors' appeal on the drama has become greater, because the popularity of attention is equivalent to the previous advertisements, and the actors with strong appeal are equivalent to live advertisements, so more and more money is given to famous actors, because It's salary + advertising money. The salary of actors has skyrocketed, and there is still so much money for screenwriters. Most of the bottom-level screenwriters are still bald with a salary of 5,000, but even if they are a group performer, a good-looking current prospect can earn tens of thousands. Under such an uneven distribution, how can it be possible to cultivate good screenwriters?
So there are fewer and fewer good books, and screenwriters with a bit of ability would rather make short videos on their own media than write scripts well.
The book is not good, and the plot is not attractive enough, then the appeal of the actors is more important, so more money is given to the actors, and less behind the scenes. in a vicious circle.
Now actors have been limited to their salary, but the salary of screenwriters has not increased. In fact, the best thing to do in the industry is to use high wages to attract good screenwriters and cultivate a good team. The current good team, aren't the actors all licking?
If most of the industry is a good book that can raise people, are you afraid that the actors will not cut prices? Headline Creation Challenge
