Chen Wensheng continued: "In terms of structure, TV dramas generally have a core main line and multiple secondary lines, which complement each other. But the movie is different, it is a core theme, a single main line. ”

"Movies are concise and to the point, and if they are too complex, they tend to fail. ”

"In terms of characters, the characters in the movie are relatively simple, there is generally only one protagonist, and the rest are supporting roles that cooperate with and hinder the protagonist's actions, and there are generally only a few characters with names and surnames in the whole story. ”

"But TV series have more than 2 protagonists, and there are even more group dramas, and there are more than a dozen or even dozens of characters that need to be remembered in the whole story. ”

"In terms of character development, movies generally only have a complete growth process and character changes for the protagonist, while TV series are not, in addition to the protagonist, some supporting characters also have a growth process. ”

After saying this in one breath, Chen Wen took a few sips of tea on the side.

The more Lin Su listened, the more he felt that TV drama scripts were more difficult to write than movie scripts.

Chen Wensheng moistened his throat and put down the teacup.

He continued: "As for the plot and pacing, there is no need to say much. They are all storytelling, one takes more than 100 minutes, the other takes more than 1,000 minutes, and it is obvious which plot is more and which is less, and which is faster or slower. ”

"The same is true in terms of lines, the lines of the movie are more concise than those of the TV series. ”

Lin Su nodded silently again, digesting this information very seriously.

Chen Wensheng paused, and said: "In addition to the above aspects, the audience groups of movies and TV series are also different, and the publicity methods in the later stage of the work are also very different. ”

Lin Su waited for a while, and when he saw that the teacher had finished talking about it all this time, he asked the question that he had been puzzled about.

"Teacher, after listening to what you said, why do you feel that TV drama scripts are more difficult to write than movie scripts?"

Chen Wensheng nodded, "In a sense, this is indeed the case. ”

"Then why does everyone say that movies are more advanced?"

Chen Wensheng smiled and said: "This advanced level depends on which aspect, and our screenwriter starts from the perspective of the script, and between the two, the TV series script is a little more difficult to write." ”

"In terms of structure and characters alone, the script of the TV series is much more complicated, and the huge volume is destined to be difficult. ”

Lin Su brought in his and Yunshen's online articles for reference.

Most of her are short youth love stories, with a single main line and simple characters, while Yunshen writes long-form ancient costumes, with a huge structural system and complex character relationships, and even some of the branch lines are intricate, one link after another.

Thinking about it like this, Lin Su understood.

But she still had doubts in her heart, and looked at the teacher to ask, "What do you mean by the high-level feeling of the movie?

Chen Wensheng nodded slowly, "Movies are indeed an artistic work. ”

"The script is only tens of thousands of words, and some of them have time to polish word by word, where they are not satisfied, and they can even overturn all of them and start over again. ”

Moreover, the real art of cinema is usually to explore human nature and social phenomena, to see the big from the small, and to provoke thought-provoking and discussion. ”

Lin Su thought about it seriously and thought it was true.

But TV dramas can actually do this, "Teacher, TV dramas can also do." ”

"Objectively, yes, but many screenwriters and teams in the circle can't do it subjectively, the script is large, there are many branches, and the delivery time is limited, and the core theme is overshadowed when written, and even the structural logic will be problematic. ”

"So many TV series looked good when they were promoted, but when they were actually broadcast, the audience was disappointed. ”

That's right, Lin Su thought to himself.

Now there are many TV series that are watching and watching, and you feel that the theme of the story is not clear, and the plot logic is also flawed, and there is a feeling of plausibility.

In addition, Lin Su also found that the actors' performances were also different.

In the movies on the big screen, many actors always perform just right in it.

Each one is full of emotions and real emotions, and every word and deed can highlight the character settings and promote the development of the plot.

On the other hand, the performances of many TV drama actors always lack a little bit of proportion.

Either it is soft and there is no tension, and it is always lost emotionally, or it is too strong, which makes the audience feel embarrassed.

In this regard, Chen Wensheng explained: "This is also normal. ”

"Many people in the circle say that an actor's performance in movies represents his highest level of acting skills, and his performance in TV series is average. ”

"Because there are not many scenes in the film, the director has time to train the actors, talk to him, and help him get into the role and the prescribed situation. ”

In this case, the director is under a lot of pressure, and in order to complete the shooting task on time, he can get by during the filming, and he does not carefully study and design. ”

In this way, the gap in the acting skills of the actors is naturally obvious.

After listening to the teacher's explanations, Lin Su suddenly realized.

It's no wonder that when some movie actors remake TV series, the audience will wonder why his performance is not as good as in the movie.

I see.

She couldn't help but speak: "To put it bluntly, some actors are not strong enough, otherwise there is such a big gap." ”

Chen Wensheng listened to her words and smiled: "Those are not really good actors. ”

"The actors' performances in the movie are more delicate, because the screen is big, every expression detail on the actor's face will be infinitely magnified, plus the viewing environment of the cinema, all the audience's eyes are firmly on you. ”

Therefore, film actors must be cautious in their words and deeds and grasp the proportions of their performances. ”

is a really good movie actor, and his mastery of acting skills and performance is definitely higher than that of TV drama actors.

Lin Su finally understood, "No wonder all the actors say that they have a movie dream." ”

As an actor, everyone wants their performance to be recognized after being reviewed by the public.

That's the achievement and desire of being an actor.

Chen Wensheng nodded, "Just like you hope that your work can win the Best Screenplay Award." ”

The movie screen is the ultimate battlefield in the hearts of actors.

Lin Su pursed his lips and nodded, "It's an honor." ”

talked about the issue of actors, and Chen Wensheng went on to talk about other aspects.

"In addition to the script and actors, some of the shooting requirements of the movie are also a little higher than that of the TV series, whether it is the design of the picture, the special effects or the use of lighting, etc., these high standards of the movie are rarely met by the TV series. ”

"Because of the big investment in movies?" Lin Su subconsciously answered.

Chen Wensheng smiled, "That's indeed the reason. ”

In the field of TV dramas, only TV series with more than 50 episodes have a rare investment of more than 100 million yuan, and movies of more than 100 minutes often cost hundreds of millions.

In this sense, there is no comparison between the two at all.

Lin Su subconsciously continued: "But the movie also has a lot of income." ”

Chen Wensheng immediately laughed, this is true, after an excellent film work is released, not to mention much, the box office of more than one billion is still guaranteed.

From this point of view, TV series and movies are not comparable.
