It seems to be the way things
are going, people don’t want to commit to anything long term. Above all they
don’t want to do the work.
I’m judging a scriptwriting competition at the moment. People openly say they’ve applied because they think if they win they won't have to do much work and it’ll be an easy life. They haven’t got a clue how hard you have to work or how much hardship is involved. All they’re asked to do is submit 10 pages of their writing. Some of them can’t even be bothered to do that. All of these people are in for a major disappointment, not just in this competition, but in the industry generally. It’ll eat them up and spit them out. Their dreams will be shattered and they’ll blame everyone but themselves. One or two will re-work their scripts and strengthen them, but most won’t.
It’s the age of entitlement. It’s really stupid and lazy but it’s everywhere. I don’t really get it either. It must be very puzzling for Sifu who is offering gold, when people (myself included) can only grasp tin.
