Chapter 106: Analyzing the Script
But it turned out that she was overthinking.
When he first met Xie Tianhong, Lin Su's impression of him was frivolous and casual, but once he worked, he seemed to be a different person, and he was not lazy at all.
And he, like Lin Su, is a man of action.
After agreeing to Chen Wensheng to stay and guide, Xie Tianhong immediately entered the working state, pulled Lin Su and began to analyze the script.
"First of all, let me tell you about several elements of crime mystery dramas, or the audience's highlights, logic, rhythm, character design and lines, and an atmosphere that I personally care about. ”
Xie Tianhong said while flipping through the script of "Chasing the Murderer".
"Logically speaking, the script is fine, and it is even worth boasting, and your work does not emphasize the color of individual heroes like some detective dramas, but takes the regular public security case-solving mode such as team evidence collection and eyewitness visits, which is a very realistic crime investigation drama. ”
"Speaking of which, I would like to ask, where did you get the inspiration for this book?"
He raised one hand to support his chin, and his gaze shifted from the script to Lin Su.
When he first saw this book, he once thought that the author was a person who had been engaged in criminal investigation work for several years, because this kind of work has high professional requirements, and if there is no work experience, the content written will definitely be full of loopholes and lack of logic based on imagination and speculation.
But Lin Su is a Chinese student, not even out of society, lacking experience and knowledge.
So how did she write "Chasing the Murderer"?
As soon as Lin Su heard Xie Tianhong's question, he immediately understood what he was confused about.
explained with a smile, "From my sister, she is a public security criminal policeman with case experience, and I am good at writing and expressing, and the two of us collaborated to have "Chasing the Murderer". ”
"I see, no wonder. Xie Tianhong finally understood.
After solving the doubts, everyone continued to talk about the script.
Xie Tianhong said: "Next, let's talk about character design and lines, these two are actually inseparable, and the lines spoken by different characters and backgrounds are naturally different, and you are doing a good job on this." ”
"Let's talk about it separately, what is a successful character, the personality and behavior are very distinct, so that the audience can see clearly and remember this person, then it will be successful, otherwise you will write wildly, and the audience will not be able to remember it. ”
This Lin Su understands, and it is the same as creation.
"For example, in the script of "Chasing the Murderer", many of the protagonists first appeared in the third scene of the first episode, but that scene alone does not make the audience know, but there are two main characters who will definitely be remembered. ”
When Xie Tianhong said this, he looked at Lin Su inquiringly.
The latter immediately answered the answer, "Forensic Doctor Bai and Captain Zheng." ”
"That's right!" Xie Tianhong laughed, "Bai Guang is handsome because of his appearance, and Zheng Luyan is personality and expression, these two characters will be remembered by the audience." ”
Lin Su nodded silently, indeed, in that scene, these two people were highlighted, and the others were basically just brought by.
"Let's talk about the lines. The lines in the script are so important, not only to shape the character of the characters through it, but also to drive the plot and tell the whole story. ”
"In my personal opinion, there are two points to pay attention to in the lines, one is in line with the character design, and the other is to reflect humanistic care. ”
Hearing the word humanistic care again, Lin Su blinked and looked puzzled.
Xie Tianhong has been analyzing with her face-to-face, and naturally he can see the change in her expression, and he can't help asking: "What's wrong, why don't you understand?"
"No......" Lin Su hesitated and asked the confusion in his heart, "Director Xie, you have always said that you should pay attention to humanistic care in your lines, what does this mean?"
Xie Tianhong didn't expect her to ask like this, and he was stunned for a while.
Then he raised his eyebrows and asked tentatively: "You don't know what humanistic care is?"
"I know what humanistic care means, but I don't understand what it means in your lines. ”
Xie Tianhong looked at her silently for a few seconds, and suddenly asked, "Do you usually scold people?"
"Don't scold. Lin Su didn't know why, but he still responded truthfully.
"Under what circumstances will you scold?"
"Ahh......h ”
Xie Tianhong observed her expression, and suddenly understood that this is a good girl with quality cultivation, there is no anger on her body, looking at her eyes, she is still a relatively simple and kind person.
So I gave her an example.
"I haven't finished reading the script, let's just talk about the original book, when you have a meeting to analyze the case, you use words and some descriptions of the deceased to reflect respect and sympathy, which may be your subconscious behavior, because you have the concept of equal respect in your bones, but not everyone is like this. ”
"The scripts I've read, as well as the TV series made by others, often have a few lines that make people uncomfortable to listen to. ”
"For example, there is a suspense drama, there is a scene in which the protagonist angrily says to the corpse, 'This woman of his is not sexually assaulted', although the combination of the plot before and after can understand what he wants to express, but the subtitles and the camera are uncomfortable to watch. ”
Lin Su hadn't watched this drama, but it sounded like expecting the deceased to be insulted, which was really inappropriate.
Xie Tianhong also continued: "In this regard, you have done better, although I didn't expect it, but I have this consciousness in my bones." ”
Lin Su pursed his lips and smiled slightly.
I heard him go on to say: "But because you are too qualified, there will be some small flaws back then." ”
Lin Su looked at him puzzled.
"In terms of emotional expression, swearing is not necessarily unqualified, it is just an expression and venting of anger, such as when the protagonist encounters an extremely cruel case, or when facing an unrepentant murderer, he can appropriately scold or suddenly act excessively, which is understandable. ”
"Yours, the protagonist is highly qualified throughout, which is as it should be in terms of cultural promotion, but occasionally special circumstances should be changed. ”
Lin Su: "......"
I suddenly understood why he had just asked himself if he had ever scolded someone, and he just wanted to say this.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xie Tianhong bent the corners of his mouth, "These are my personal opinions, not necessary, but they can highlight emotional expressions." ”
"I understand, I'll pay attention to it when I change it for the second time. ”
"Well, it's also the atmosphere that needs to be paid attention to. When Xie Tianhong said this, he suddenly stared at Lin Su's eyes very seriously.
Lin Su also looked at him stunned, not understanding why he made this sudden move.
The next moment, I saw him squint his eyes and say, "It should also have something to do with your character, you are too serious and lack a sense of humor." Maybe you think this kind of murder case should be serious, but after all, the script is film and television art, not real life, and you should be nervous when you should be nervous, and you should be humorous when appropriate. ”
"Even if it's a line, an action or an expression, just the right amount of humor can increase the audience's sense of pleasure and relieve everyone a little in a tense atmosphere. ”
