Lin Su thought that he wouldn't say it specifically, but he didn't expect that the previous ones were just side dishes, and the main meal was only going to start now.

"Good. Her eyes were full of anticipation.

Xie Tianhong said: "The rhythm in the script of a crime drama is mainly manifested in three aspects: plot points, the number of shots and the relationship between the characters, but "Chasing the Murderer" is a unit drama, except for the latter three cases that are somewhat related, there is no subline and the fate line of the protagonist as a whole, so you don't have to consider the last point. ”

"What you have to think about is the plot and the shot, and that's the problem with the script of "Chasing the Murderer". ”

"Uh-huh. Lin Su nodded hurriedly.

She is like a child waiting to be fed at the moment, looking forward to the big director teaching her.

"Let's talk about important plot points first, the plot is made up of plot points in series, before writing the script, you should think about how many important plot points there are in a case, and then arrange these large plot points evenly in three episodes, so that the specific number of each episode will be implemented. ”

"Then when you're done writing a case, you'll be able to get a rough idea of the pace by seeing if the plot points have reached the number of points predicted in advance. ”

Xie Tianhong said and looked at Lin Su, "Have you ever thought about writing a script?"

"Before I wrote it, I also preset the general plot and turning points, but I didn't expect to implement it into each episode. Lin Su admitted that he didn't think carefully enough and didn't do enough preliminary work.

"This is also normal, you are a novice after all, if you think about everything very thoughtfully, then you are a big guy like Mr. Chen. ”

Xie Tianhong comforted her casually.

Then he then asked, "How many important plot points did you have in your first case?" ”

"Thirty-two, or at least 10 in each episode, if you do what you say. ”

"What about actually?" Xie Tianhong flipped through the script of "Chasing the Murderer" in his hand and browsed it quickly.

And Lin Su already had the answer in his heart, "8, there are only 8 relatively strong plot points in the first episode, 7 in the second episode, 9 in the third episode, and 8 in the fourth episode." ”

Whether it is the script of "Chasing the Murderer" or "Chasing the Murderer", she knows the content well.

Seeing this, Xie Tianhong raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

She is very familiar with her own works, just like herself, and the works she has taken are also clear.

Putting away his thoughts, he continued, "So, this is a concrete manifestation of your slow pace. ”

Lin Su didn't speak, and nodded silently.

"Let's talk about the camera. Xie Tianhong paused for a moment, and then said, "Do you understand the camera?"

Lin Su's previous study was not in vain, and he immediately responded: "I know this, Director Xie said." ”

"It's easy to say, but can you remember how many shots you have in an episode?"

"I probably remember that the first episode had about 500 shots, and the second episode had ......"

Xie Tianhong interrupted her, "It's enough to say one episode, in fact, in my opinion, more than 500 shots is a lot, the key is how many shots of different scenes are there, this is what really affects the pace of speed." ”

What are the different scenes?

Lin Su didn't understand this, "Director Xie, what do you mean by this shot?"

"Come here. Xie Tianhong beckoned to her, and when she got closer, he pointed to the script in front of him and said, "Imagine the 3rd and 7th shots, as well as the 4th and 11th shots of this scene, what are these pictures like?"

Lin Su made up the content of the shot, and found that the two were very similar, and immediately understood.

"Director Xie, I know what you mean. ”

Xie Tianhong likes to talk to smart people, no wonder Teacher Chen said that it is enough to mention it to her.

"Because the content of different shots can provide effective information, the content of the shots is the same, and the information expressed is repeated, so in the fixed time of each episode of the script, the more different shots, the greater the information content, and the plot will be faster, otherwise, the rhythm will naturally be slower. ”

"In fact, it is not only crime mystery dramas, but also other TV dramas, the plot and shots affect the speed of the rhythm. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Tianhong suddenly glanced at Chen Wensheng who was busy, smiled and said, "You should have seen your teacher's work, right?"

"Yes. ”

"Many of his works are not fast-paced plots, but the number of the same shots in the story is small, and the effective information is expressed, and there are no meaningless plots added, so it does not feel procrastinated at all, but is as smooth as water and fascinating. ”

Lin Su thought about the TV series he had watched, and "Parents" was a good example.

The plot is smooth and eloquent.

She agrees, "Yes, the teacher's work is true, so it is very good." ”

Xie Tianhong also said: "Yes, whether the screenwriter has intentions or not, the audience can intuitively feel it." It's a pity that there are many works now that add useless plots for various reasons, prolong the overall plot, and make people more and more boring the more they watch. ”

The audience's eyes are bright, so there are many scripts on the market that are criticized by everyone, and screenwriters will also be pulled out for criticism.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lin Su, "It's not that you don't care, but you have a weak heart, you don't know enough about the script when you first come into contact with this industry, don't be in a hurry, you will slowly figure it out by participating in the creation more." ”

Lin Su said nothing but nodding his head at this.

She took a deep breath and exhaled heavily, she had a long way to go.

Xie Tianhong looked at her expression and smiled, and soon became serious again, "How is it, do you know where the fault with your script is now?"

"Got it. Lin Su nodded heavily, his voice faintly tinged with excitement.

"Okay, then it's up to you to make your own changes, so let's get started. ”

After Xie Tianhong finished speaking, he leaned back in the chair, put his hands behind his head, shook Erlang's legs, and hummed and chirped in his mouth: "Allaroundtheworld, prettygirls......"

Lin Su sat on the side, holding a pen in his hand, writing in circles on the script, studying how to revise it.

This was the case every day after that.

Lin Su seriously changed the script, Xie Tianhong entertained himself on the side, and when he found Lin Su scratching his ears and cheeks, he would come over, if he knew something, he would mention a few words, and if he didn't know, Lin Su would only lose his hair.

Before I knew it, more than half a month had passed.

In mid-May, Lin Su corrected the first two cases, and after Chen Wensheng and Xie Tianhong read it, they both said that it was very good, and there were some small details that could be discussed together when they talked about the script with the actors later.

At the same time, Lin Su is also about to graduate, and she plans to go back to Haicheng University this weekend to submit her thesis and take graduation photos.

But before that, she suddenly received a meeting notice from the production team.

Chen Wensheng explained, "It's okay, they want to see how many episodes of your "Chasing the Murderer" have been written. ”

Once the project of Chuyang is approved, the production team and the planning team will follow up at any time to understand the progress of the project.

"I've only changed 6 episodes. Lin Su was a little nervous, afraid that his progress would be too slow.

Xie Tianhong looked at her with an idiot-like look, "Do you think everyone has your speed?"
