TV series " Blossoms " ended, but the show continues to cause a lot of controversy. For example, the visual effects director is dissatisfied with the color grading of the series, Zhao Chuan denounced the copyright of the recording of "I Am a Little Bird", etc. This wave of controversy has not yet been resolved, and it was revealed that "Flowers" used an unknown female screenwriter to create the script but did not Sign people.
According to reports, there was only a movie version of "Flowers" during the preparation period. A was invited to write the "Flowers" movie script for Wong Kar-Wai, and b joined the film promotion team with the help of A. Among them, Mr. A has a movie dream, but is not a filmmaker himself. He regards the script of his debut film "Flowers" as a stepping stone to enter the industry.
But when meeting Wong Kar-wai, script writing was not easy. The content he wrote was always rejected by Wong Kar-wai, which led to Mr. A complaining constantly, saying that he often made changes to the script. The script of " Grandmaster " was rumored to have been revised for 4 years. The collaborator is also a well-known screenwriter in the industry. And Mr. A is just a nobody and can only be at the mercy of Wong Kar-wai.
And b also joined the crew by chance, hoping to get a chance to take advantage of the director. In practice, it was found that the company had no clue about the promotion of "Flowers" and only had fantasy. After realizing the true situation, Mr. B found that he was not as determined as Mr. A to enter the film industry and chose to resign.
After that, "Flowers" dramas and stage plays were staged one after another. A was panicked when he heard that "Flowers" invited well-known screenwriters in the industry to make a TV series, and felt that his movie dream was shattered. When the series "Flowers" was released, Mr. A discovered that his script was used in the TV series, saying that several scenes were exactly the same. She didn't dare to say anything about it.
was asked if the movie would still be made. A said that it probably wouldn’t be made. It is very painful for the screenwriter to have fragments of his own scripts used in TV dramas. However, A seemed to have no other option but to endure it and became depressed.
This is not the first time that "Flowers" has been exposed as not giving the screenwriter a signature. Before the TV series was aired, an ALS screenwriter published a long article accusing the crew of not giving names, saying that he had written the character lines of several protagonists, and hoped that the crew would give an explanation. But from beginning to end, the crew did not respond. The ALS screenwriter also deleted his long article in defense of human rights, and the matter went undisturbed.
However, on his personal social platform, he also retained a large number of behind-the-scenes stories surrounding the crew of "Flowers", which exposed the working style of the crew of "Flowers", such as getting together with well-connected people, big screenwriters bullying small screenwriters, etc.
"Flowers" is a work that Wong Kar-Wai planned for 10 years, seven of which were spent polishing the details of the script. One behind-the-scenes screenwriter spoke out one after another, which also shows that the amount of behind-the-scenes creation of "Flowers" was huge. But if these screenwriters want to successfully defend their rights, they cannot solve the problem by simply speaking out in general terms.
According to interviews with the actors of "Flowers", they all said that Wong Kar-wai did not have a script, and would rewrite the script according to the nature of the actors to make them more suitable for the characters, often changing the script during filming. Over time, it became difficult to tell which screenwriter made those changes. For example, Ms. A said that several scenes she wrote were used in the plot of the TV series. She could clearly show the corresponding chapters of the script, which would be more convincing.
However, the script cannot be relied upon. The report mentioned that Wong Kar-wai was preparing for "Flowers" in 2017, and I heard it was in 2018. There was no mention of the specific time when the two friends came into contact. 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 major screenwriters in the industry also joined the creation at the same time.
Moreover, the TV series filming plan of "Flowers" was mentioned in the report in 2014, which was contradictory to A's statement.
In any case, I still hope that the show will respect the unknown screenwriter and support the small screenwriter to speak out for himself, but I hope that strong evidence can be produced, otherwise the rights protection will be far away.
