Chapter 292: Lines Screenwriter

"The dialogue in the script is not everyday language, it should be an enhanced version of everyday language. ”

"Ambiguity, exaggeration, meaningless repetition, lack of tense rigor, etc., that may arise in everyday language should be removed or corrected in the dialogue. ”

"Dialogue is the most straightforward stimulus to the audience, and it needs to emerge from the characters' personalities, the situation, and the conflict, revealing or enriching the characters and moving the story forward, and every sentence should have a necessity, or rather, every sentence should sound appropriate or even powerful. ”

"Otherwise, that's the main reason why the script was shot. ”

Chihara Rin took a half-finished script and told the Holy Son very seriously before the second one, originally he planned to let the Holy Son come to Kanto to jointly gild, and after coming, just find a crew to let her go, but by mistake, the Holy Son suffered a lot, which made Chihara Rin embarrassed, so he simply put her by his side, and when he was fine, he gave a few words, which was also a kind of compensation for her.

After all, the Holy Son suffered a loss on his territory, although the Holy Son has a soft personality and does not care, but he thinks that it is better to be particular about his friends, at least he can't let his friends suffer in vain - he doesn't have many friends, so he should cherish them!

The Holy Son nodded again and again, and asked shyly, "That's why there is a separate line screenwriter in the creative team?"

"That's right, condensing the dialogue and lines can make the script level rise by several levels, which is very important. ”

"So how do you write a good dialogue?"

Rin Chihara knew everything, and said with a smile: "This is complicated to say. ”

"For example, if you cover up the character's name, can you tell who is speaking? This is one of the simplest criteria, if not, then there is a high probability that the lines are not qualified; for example, how to leave room for the actor to perform? The actor or director sometimes has their own ideas, sometimes they should leave room for them, for example, what form should be used, should you use a voiceover, should you use a rubber duck monologue......

"Well, each character should have his own characteristics when he speaks, different ages, different backgrounds, and different education levels, all of which must be reflected in the lines. ”

"Come, look at this script, this is the line screenwriter has refined. You see here, a line is written in five different ways, and this is to have a choice when shooting...... Yes, many times, as screenwriters, we don't know how well it will work, so we just write it all down, and then let the director and actors try it when shooting, eliminate the bad ones, and keep the best results. ”

"Voice-over? Voice-over has extraordinary guidance, not to mention it is good to use, it enhances the style of the drama very much, but it is easy to make the audience play if it is not used well. Therefore, if it is not necessary, when filming commercial TV dramas, we will generally use voiceover carefully, and it is safer to add normal dialogue as much as possible. ”

"Yes, don't make mistakes first, and then pursue better results, this is what commercial TV dramas should pay special attention to......"

Rin Chihara spoke very carefully, and there were all questions to be answered, and Mita Tomohisa was eavesdropping with his ears in the distance while working, and tears of envy were about to flow out.

As an assistant to Chihara Rinto, he asked Chihara Rin if he had a question, and although he would answer according to Chihara Rinto's character, he would never start from the beginning because he was too busy, and he would talk about it in such detail.

And this kind of opportunity is rare......

Screenwriting is a very experienced industry, and you need to keep trying and making mistakes to learn lessons, even if it's just some experience that doesn't seem to matter, you don't know when it's really useful, so if you make a mistake, you may lose ratings inexplicably and even make the show completely collapse.

The situation is somewhat similar to that of doctors.

At the beginning of the amputation, a record three people died in an amputation, the patient died, the assistant died, and the doctor died, but today the vast majority of patients survive the same operation.

Because of what? Generations of doctors and patients have learned lessons after repeated trial and error with their lives, just like screenwriters will also put out one drama after another, and burn a lot of budget in vain to gain experience.

Of course, the situation in the screenwriting industry is not so serious, and no one can die, but every serious TV series must at least mobilize dozens of people to work, with an investment of more than 100 million yen, and no one can easily fail - the first one confiscated the ratings and lost a lot, maybe he can get a second chance, but the second time still fails, and no one in this industry will give a third chance.

Therefore, even a little experience may have been summed up after burying the careers of several creators, and it is a lesson that has been exchanged for a lot of tears and hard work!

Whoever has a career only once, and it's about the same as life.

Seriously, the main creator of Rin Chihara, who has a brilliant record, is willing to carefully talk about his creative experience, and is willing to answer all questions, offering 100,000 yen for a class, saying that this big office can be crowded in a blink of an eye, and it is light, maybe because there are too many people, it can squeeze out the intestines of Rin Chihara.

Mita Tomohisa is really envious and about to shed tears, why don't I have this personal relationship with Mr. Chihara?

And the holy son is a little stupid, but she also knows that the opportunity is rare, she listens attentively, and she carefully notes it, ready to go back and figure it out again - she pointed out to the idol personally, and she hated to copy down every word that Chihara Rin said.

When there was no problem for the time being, she bowed deeply and held it for more than five seconds, her long hair hanging straight like a waterfall: "Thank you, Chihara-sensei." ”

"You're welcome. Chihara Rin smiled slightly, he had always had a very good impression of the Holy Son's honest pimple, and after a polite sentence, he asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in dialogue?"

"I used my free time to read the final script, and I checked my mistakes during my working hours, so I didn't waste my working time. The Holy Son quickly explained, she is now working as an assistant screenwriter in the crew of "Oakie", and her main job is to correct typos and sick sentences, help check the information, and pour tea and water by the way.

She was a little worried that she would get negative comments such as "so ambitious" and "inattentive", but Chihara Rin didn't care, the current level of the Holy Son was not up to people, and with her or not, it would not affect the normal operation of the work, and it didn't matter what she liked to do.

He shook his head and smiled: "It's a good thing to read the script, don't be nervous, I just wonder why you suddenly started to pay attention to the dialogue, you can't get into the refined lines in your current work, right?"

The holy son said shyly: "I'm stupid, I'm not creative, I can't write a good story, and then I saw that Teacher Shichijo was changing his lines, and kept simulating the character and reciting repeatedly, I felt very interesting, and I wanted to ......"

"You just want to develop into a line writer?"

The Holy Son said with a humble heart: "Yes. ”

"Is it a screenwriter?" Rin Chihara hesitated for a moment and asked seriously, "I know you always thought you wanted to work as a screenwriter, but you have been interning at a TV station for a long time, do you still plan to do this now?"

He pointed to the outside of the office as he spoke, and the lights were still bright after dinner time, "This line of work is under great mental pressure, long working hours, overtime is the norm, it is really chosen, it has a great impact on life, and you need to sacrifice a lot of beautiful things, are you really mentally prepared?"

As the saying goes, persuading people to study medicine, the sky is thundering, so in his opinion, persuading people to "pick cakes on the road", even if it is not so serious, at least it should be divided into five horses.

As a doctor, it is common to work twenty or thirty hours in a row, and from time to time I sleep in the hospital, and overtime is not a problem.

Can a doctor talk about 996? Especially a little doctor, 007 is about the same......

The situation of the screenwriter is similar, although it is not as great as the doctor, and it involves major events that affect human life, but it is broadcast regularly every week, and the time is stuck there, can the script be unfinished or unqualified, and go home directly? What about the billions and hundreds of millions of yen invested in the TV series? What about the expectations of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of viewers?

Talk about 9 to 5, and then shoddy?

The audience will vote with the remote control, and instantly teach the screenwriter and even the entire crew to behave.

What's more, patients tend to have a good attitude towards doctors, but viewers often have a very bad attitude towards TV producers, scolding commonplace - really writing letters and calling TV stations to scold can scold screenwriters out of the psychological shadow.

Even if the Holy Son wants to be a screenwriter, Rin Chihara still wants to ask: You still have too many good choices, do you really have to do this business?

But the Holy Son was very determined, and said seriously: "Yes, Chihara-sensei, I want to be a screenwriter!"

Rin Chihara looked at the determined expression on her little face and smiled dumbly.

Also, the dream is as heavy as Mount Tai, that is, after he was struck by lightning, even if he knew that this industry mainly produced unlucky eggs, he still chose this industry - without that stupid bird system, he would still produce TV shows, which was the goal he decided when he was in junior high school, and he struggled for more than ten years!

Even, this will always be his first goal in life.

He smiled very happily, but the Holy Son became apprehensive, and asked uneasily, "Does Chihara-sensei think I can't do it?

Rin Chihara came back to his senses and smiled, "No, I didn't mean that. Of course, it's up to you whether you can do it or not, but I support you in trying and chasing your dreams. ”

The Holy Son breathed a sigh of relief, and asked carefully: "Then what do you think of me as a line screenwriter? I can't write a good story, but I can observe more about the way different people speak, analyze the psychological activities of different people, and when I accumulate more, maybe I can write some good lines, become a good line screenwriter, and help thousands of ...... It can add luster to the script. ”

This goal feels pretty good, but it's also quite realistic......

Rin Chihara was sure that the Holy Son really wanted to do this business, but he was really interested, pinched his chin and began to carefully consider the career plan for the Holy Son.

The status of the line screenwriter in the creative team is higher than that of the episode screenwriter most of the time, only under the main creative screenwriter, although there is no autonomy, but the career prospect is okay - the holy son is just cold on the surface, in fact, it is almost as soft as a lamb, and it doesn't look like she can bear the pressure, and not being the main creator doesn't seem to be a bad thing for her.

Of course, it's better to be the main creative screenwriter, but Shengzi doesn't seem to be the material, so being able to become a line screenwriter may be her best career goal.

Rin Chihara felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and said with a smile: "I think it's good, it's practical." ”

The Holy Son was very happy to get the approval of the idol, and nodded vigorously: "I think so too, I know that I don't have the natural talent of Chihara-sensei, and it is impossible for me to make such dazzling results as yours, but I want to ...... Towards the moon, even if you can't reach the moon, you can be among the starsβ€”to be among the stars, people like me are satisfied. ”

She said this with the courage to say, a pair of big eyes looked at Chihara Rin without blinking, in her view, Chihara Rin is to become the moon person, then as long as she can stand among the stars and look at him, or you can flash a faint light again, setting off the moonlight more bright.

And Chihara Rin didn't hear it, in his eyes, the Holy Son was a little girl, and the children he met when he first came to this world were cute and cute, and nothing else, and he didn't even think that this was his fan.

On the contrary, his attention was on the words of the Holy Son, and after tasting the product carefully, he felt that it was a little flavorful - you say goodbye, the literary girl changed her line and the screenwriter may not be able to do it, these little girls like to pick out the words and sigh sadly, which can also be regarded as a kind of accumulation.

He felt a little expectant, and encouraged: "Don't be so pessimistic, when you stand among the stars, maybe you can see the road to the moon, and I look forward to you making achievements!"

"Yes, I'll do my best, Chihara-sensei!" Seiko was very happy and bowed vigorously again, "I will definitely work hard and try hard, and I won't let you down." ”

"Come on!"

Rin Chihara said with a smile again, looked at the time and prepared to get off work, that is, go home and sleep with Ningzi in his arms. He stayed at the TV station for the past two days to repair the news department, and he had a rare opportunity to go home and hug the beauty.

But at this time, the door of the office was pushed open, and Iori Murakami stood at the door and smiled, "Chihara, do you have time? ”
