Contemporary media broadcasts movie and television products repeatedly to shape culture and fashion trend, which makes movie and television products have huge influence. After the rise of the cultural industry, movie and television products are included in the industry and become valuable culture commodity. Screenwriter as a culture worker and the key man of culture commodity has been neglected for a long time in Taiwan audiovisual industry. Therefore, this study focuses on Taiwanese screenwriter career and explores job profile. The content market of the audiovisual industry in Taiwan has been occupied by foreign products recently especially the content from South Korea and China. This tendency also shows the rapid development and the influence of audiovisual industry in South Korea and China. This study first quotes the relevant references of cultural labor to analyze the status and features of screenwriter. Then, it discusses the operation of the screenwriter profession under the development of audiovisual industry in South Korea and China. Finally, it analyzes the existing problems and dilemmas of Taiwanese screenwriters. By conducting In-depth Interviewing, this study interviewed current senior screenwriters focusing on the operation and condition of Taiwanese screenwriter profession. The study finds that under the impact of the capital market, screenwriters are a weaker group. However, if we do not pay attention to the rights and interests of cultural workers, the long-term ignorance will cause the decline of quality in culture commodity or even the fault in industry. Therefore, it is necessary for screenwriter to rely on strong professional organizations to defend their rights and to gain basic protection. Although there are many resources and matching platforms for screenwriters; however, the absence of a systematic mechanism makes Taiwanese screenwriter only depends on their own fortune to grow. In the future, it is necessary to establish a combination system of professional training and matching platform to constantly provide professionals and works in the industry. Only by improving the existing problems and treating well to screenwriters can the culture commodities fully show their value and expand the effect of the cultural economy.
