The plot of Qiong Yao drama is too simple.
For his own very successful remarks, Kitamura explained: For unfair events and bad situations, we should clearly oppose them, this is the minimum ethical standard.
The currently popular self-shot drama "If There's Still Tomorrow" broadcast on Jingshi TV is Kitamura's proud work. He claims that this time he has written a true, not fake, and earth-shattering story.
Subsequently, Kitamura quickly pointed the finger at modern romance dramas led by Qiong Yao dramas, criticizing them for being overly simplistic and immature. I recently saw a new Qiong Yao drama on TV, and at that moment, I was shaking all over, not because it wasn't well-made, but because it was truly too simple. Times have changed, and Qiong Yao dramas can no longer satisfy the audience's imagination. He even said, Comparatively speaking, I feel that Haiyan dramas are much better than Qiong Yao dramas, not because Haiyan is smarter or has better writing skills than Qiong Yao, but because Haiyan dramas are more realistic and profound.
The Writer's Rich List is too ridiculous.
This year, Guo Jingming once again topped the China Writer's Rich List with an annual income of 13 million yuan, but to this, Kitamura showed utter disdain. He said: What does this prove? I haven't read any of his works, I don't have the time to read their stuff. In comparison, Han Han received unexpected praise. Kitamura revealed: I've read what Han Han writes, he is a very good public figure among the youth, and many of his opinions are close to current realities.
Regarding the recent hot topic of the China Writer's Rich List, Kitamura mocked: The Writer's Rich List? Too ridiculous. It's like beauty contests being extremely ugly, the entire literary creation now has chaotic value standards. A singer should sing well, a dancer should dance well, and a writer, of course, should write well. What does it have to do with how much money they earn?
Kitamura's most well-known work is undoubtedly "Zhou Yu's Shout," and the reason this work gained public attention is undoubtedly due in part to the movie "Zhou Yu's Train." However, Kitamura is not very satisfied with this once sensational film. On December 12th, he frankly said: When I saw the movie "Zhou Yu's Train" back then, I was stunned because it didn't resemble my work at all. According to Kitamura, I participated in writing the first draft of the script, but I heard that it was eventually revised 14 times. A work having three revisions already has issues, but it went through 14 revisions. Since it doesn't even resemble my work anymore, I don't understand why they bought the copyright from me?
On December 12th, Beicun, the screenwriter of "If There's Still Tomorrow," came to Changsha with the production team for promotion. At the press conference, Beicun, who once served as the screenwriter for "Zhou Yu's Train," directly criticized the overly simplistic plots of Qiong Yao dramas and found the Writer's Rich List too amusing.
