Report Cinema “The Board of Directors of the Iranian Cinema Screenwriting Association, according to the trade union, announces the basic rate of the script wage in year 2,” the statement said. The reason for the significant difference of this year’s figures and the figures last year is the difference that has deprived all of the peace and financial security. Increasing film production costs is undeniable.
According to international custom and international standards, the screenplay of a cinematic work is about 2 to 5 percent of the total film production budget, but we preferred to cite the facts. We expect professional scriptwriters to receive much more than these. We expect the incorrect structures that are obvious to be abandoned, especially in cases where a script has more than a writer.
The custom of the esteemed producer, whether governmental or private, is to divide the author’s wages by the number of writers, but it is rational to increase the number of writers, because the experience, power, talent and taste of each author has the equivalent collaboration of his partnership. The producer practically uses the artistic capacity of two people, and it is necessary for each author to receive a separate and complete wage of the script. This misconception is so far from rational self -evident that its custom and performance in all decades resemble magic! When you are going to do something, by adding the number of people working, the wage of the job is not divided into the number of people, but is reproduced and added to the number of people. This is an economic behavior, because you are saving time. How they were able to persuade our colleagues in ancient times to divide their wages and not pay more, is the magic and magic that we hope will be removed from the foundations of screenwriter and producer or customer relationships from this year. The basic wage that the Board of Directors announces is for each author and is not going to be divided. In all domestic and foreign festivals, two statues and two awards are given when it has two writers. Why is the script for the screenplay to be overlooked?
*The figures approved; in the statement of the Board of Directors of the screenwriting, the scriptwriting wage is as follows:
The figures approved by the script writing in year 6 are as follows:
– Cinema Screenwriting Writing: One Billion Tomans (Based on the Production of $ 2 Billion A Cinema)
– Writing TV Movie (Television Movie): 1 Million Tomans
– Writing each episode of TV series: 1 million USD
– Writing each episode of Home Theater Serial: 1 million Tomans (based on the production budget of 1 billion per episode)
– Ready for Cinema Screen Production: 5 % of the price of full script
– Serial Design Wage: The equivalent of writing a part of the serial
Screenwriting Wage by another collaboration: equivalent to the author’s full wage.
*A dream far from reach
Another part of the statement also states: “A dream is now out of reach for script customers to accept the most important part of the scriptwriting process. Unfortunately, the current custom of our country is to get a non -wage plan and contract after the project is approved. This behavior with professional writers is far from professional. He accepts the producer or writer, ordering him or submitting his own design and closing a contract. This method that they ask for several “plan” and do not pay for it is criticized by the board of directors for being immoral and profitable, and the only solution that is now suggested is the unity of colleagues to refuse to accept this work. “
