Topics
Roxane Gay: 我与电视的关系很有趣，因为我小时候不允许看电视，这培养了我阅读和写作的习惯。后来在寄宿学校，我开始大量观看电视，并迷上了肥皂剧。我欣赏肥皂剧的叙事技巧和悬念设置，以及它们能够长期保持连贯的故事性。我对犯罪题材的节目不感兴趣，因为我觉得将可怕的事件美化成一种审美是不合适的。在好莱坞的电视写作中，我学习到了很多东西，也认识到自己的不足。我成功地推销了自己的电视项目，但并非所有项目都得以制作。在编剧团队中，我发现有色人种编剧的观点有时会被忽视，这让我对有色人种编剧的处境有了更深的理解。编剧罢工可能不会直接改变黑人在编剧团队中的待遇，但它可能有助于改善低级别编剧的职业发展和薪酬待遇。 Saeed Jones: 本期播客将与Roxane Gay进行关于电视、写作以及编剧罢工的特别对话。我和Roxane Gay等人的成功源于对互联网和社交网络的真正欣赏以及利用其创造机会的能力。我赞扬Roxane Gay在文学创作和利用社交媒体与读者建立联系方面的杰出工作。我观察到Roxane Gay在好莱坞的电视领域工作，并想了解她对电视的看法以及与书籍写作的比较。观众对电视节目中性爱场景的担忧与对暴力场景的宽容形成了鲜明对比，这反映了美国独特的道德观念。编剧罢工对黑人电视编剧的潜在影响值得关注，它可能有助于改善低级别编剧的职业发展和薪酬待遇，但好莱坞制片厂对编剧缺乏尊重，罢工可能持续很长时间。
