Famous screenwriter Gülse Birsel’s statement, “For my own account, I will prefer to write on digital platforms due to the record length and the fact that I can no longer be free in lines and jokes, that is, unless these two conditions change” became the agenda. Fans waiting for the TV series from the actress have been interacting on social media for a while. This decision was very sad for the television viewers, who stated that they were tired of Gülseren Budaıcıoğlu’s stories and that they were waiting for Gülse Birsel TV series.
Media Ombudsman Faruk Bildirici also conveyed the views of screenwriter and actress Gürsel Birsel in her article that drew attention to the increase in silent ‘beeps’ on television. Gülse Birsel made a statement to Bildirici; “Obviously, this was one of the two reasons we switched ‘Jet Sosyete’ from the TV channel to the digital platform. TV montages have increased to 160-170 minutes and even innocent words such as ‘Idiot’ and ‘Ulan’ in Jet Sosyete have been cut lately. On my own account, I will prefer to write on digital platforms due to the record length and the fact that I cannot be free in lines and jokes, that is, unless these two conditions change.”
Bildirici asked Gülse Birsel about the “beeping discomfort” of RTÜK expressed by the statements of former President Yerlikaya, the “Silent beeps” that are intensifying today, and the difficulties this situation brings while writing the script and creating the characters.
On this question, Birsel said, “In the past, we used to write the beeping as a joke instead of swearing. It replaces ‘she opened her mouth and closed her eyes’, you don’t hear swearing, you watch the shouting image on the beeping sound of the character. I have used it in fight scenes from time to time. It means that RTÜK is also disturbed by this.”
Gülse Birsel said, “In digital, we felt a little more comfortable despite PUHU being a free and open platform.” However, when the series was watched on the digital record, the two episodes were made into one and then broadcast on Star TV. It was a good success, but those who watched the series on TV encountered many silent lines compared to the digital version.”
Gülse Birsel had recently announced that she was working on a new scenario with her Instagram account. Birsel, who took a selfie at the computer and shared the photo, said, “There is no need to panic, friends. I am writing. No, because you stop and brush on the street or something, that’s why I say. I swear I’m writing, I’m not sitting idle. Yes comedy. To digital. You still have time to watch. Thanks, back to work, love,” she wrote.
