Screenwriting is probably one of the most thankless jobs in the world. Because in the more than 100 years since the birth of movies, there is hardly any film that dares to say that there are no flaws in the plot.

Whether it is a Chinese small and medium-budget film, or a top Hollywood blockbuster. The plot of some blockbuster movies is so bad that the audience is very puzzled, with an investment of two or three billion US dollars, why can't you spend more money, hire a screenwriter, and don't have so many slots in the plot?

Especially when it comes to the film and television adaptation of literature, comics, and games, it is the most difficult and difficult to balance the viewing experience of the original party and passers-by.

Watching a movie is different from watching TV at home, and the audience needs to spend time rushing to the theater located in the business district, sitting in the theater for a half to two hours, and spending money to buy tickets. If the viewing experience is not as expected, it will feel very worthless and bad.

This involves many factors such as the rhythm of the film, the main line contradictions, and the cool points of the story. Literary films are not popular with the public, and a large reason is that the rhythm is slow. And if the popcorn movie has too much foreshadowing, it will also make people feel dull.

The plot contradiction is naturally the protagonist's dilemma, such as the protagonist of a qualified commercial blockbuster, it is definitely not possible to have no desires and no desires, and some even have to add a little obsession.

For example, Cobb in "Inception", his biggest obsession is to be able to return home and be with his children. But the premise is that you have to help Saito complete the mission of Inception before you have a chance to go home. When the audience feels this, it is easier to care about the fate of the protagonist.

If the protagonist in the movie has no desires, then the audience will have nothing to look forward to. The hegemony essay is written to dominate the world, and the urban essay is written to be the richest man in the world, what else does the protagonist have to pursue, he can't want to be a president!

Nuwa is a saint of the Mixed Yuan Heavenly Dao, if she has been sanctified from the beginning of the film, she just stays in the Wa Palace every day to meditate (in a daze), and after the Gonggong crashes into the Buzhou Mountain, she comes out to make up for the heavens, then the plot is too weak.

And if you put the perspective of the story on other characters and narrate it in multiple lines, it is easy to cause an imbalance in the structure of the film, making the title of "Nuwa Mending the Sky" seem unworthy of the name.

Contradictions, contradictions, a good movie must properly handle the contradictions between the characters in the play, so as to make the film appear full of tension.

For example, "Crazy Stone", which made director Ning Hao famous, appeared in Bao Shihong, Sanbao, Director Xie, Xie Xiaomeng, father and son, brothers, superiors and subordinates, almost all have contradictions.

And Brother Dao, Heipi, Xiaojun, and sister-in-law on one side of the theft team also have contradictions with each other, and Xiaojun also has a leg with his sister-in-law.

In the Marvel blockbuster "Avengers" series, everyone first had all kinds of "mouth cannons", and finally made a "heroic civil war". If the characters in the movie are harmonious and there is no contradiction, then there is nothing to look at.

This is also the reason why Lu Lin made Nuwa after the creation of a human only have a cultivation above the quasi-saint when he adapted, and he almost had a mixed element.

is not a mixed sage, but he has seven emotions and six desires, obsession and trouble. Only then can someone dare to covet it, so that the fight between Nuwa and Nuwa can be a little reasonable.

Otherwise, Sanqing and Jieyin, Zhun Ti, which one is full of food and support, come to Nuwa for trouble. Under the saint, which one is comfortable and dares to make Nuwa Niangniang unhappy?

Even if the strength of the Twelve Ancestral Witches is strong, they have to rely on the "Twelve Heavenly Gods Great Array" to condense the true body of Pangu in order to compete with the saints. If Nuwa is really set to become holy by virtue of creating people, the film can also be filmed, but the main contradiction throughout the whole film will not be easy to straighten out.

The key to the contradiction is the success of the protagonist, so that the audience can watch it well. For example, when the Crazy Boy series was filmed three times a year, almost all of them were framed and revenged, but the audience just bought it.

"Make people out of the soil, make up the sky and save people. A drink and a peck, all are predetermined. The merits are complete, and the evidence is mixed. ”

After reading the plot outline, without waiting for Du Xiaorao to continue scrolling down, he listened to the assistant say: "Sister Xiaorao, the director called you over!"

Du Xiaorao hurriedly got up and put away the script, went to the area where the director team was located, and bowed slightly to Lu Lin first, "Director Lu is good!" and said to the executive director, camera leader, photographer, assistant and others on the side, "Hello teachers!"

Everyone hurriedly said, "Hello, hello!" and they found their own reasons and dispersed.

Lu Lin, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the tall Du Xiaorao in front of him, and lost his mind slightly. To tell the truth, this girl is a little taller, and the net amount is actually 174.

However, in the entertainment industry, if a girl is too tall, it is actually a disadvantage. Because many male actors are reluctant to play with such a girl, they can't show that they are tall and mighty, not to mention, some may have to step on the box mat to increase their height when filming.

The so-called "Sidan Shuangbing" and later the "New Four Little Flowers", according to the information on Baidu, the upper limit of height is 170 for Liu Tianxian and Ni Ni.

And Tang Yan, who is not included in the "Four Little Flowers", has an official height data of 172, which makes many male stars who claim to be 180 unable to hold it!

Therefore, in the Chinese film industry, the height of the hottest female stars is basically in the height range of 165 to 172. And those who are too tall often encounter situations where some popular male stars are unwilling to play, which affects resources and makes it difficult to rush to the front line.

However, Du Xiaorao signed with Longlin Pictures, if she was not like some of the "star girls" selected by Xing Ye, she would have to set up her own door once she became famous, and she would not lose her in terms of resources.

Seeing that Lu Lin looked at her and didn't speak, Du Xiaorao didn't feel nervous, and said in his heart: "It's not that you think I'm not acting well, you have to replace me!" Not to mention the sudden change of roles in the film industry, there are all kinds of reshoots after the completion of the starring role!

Thinking of this, his throat was a little dry, and he said loudly: "Director Lu, do you have something to do with me?" Although he was very nervous, his voice was still very crisp.

Lu Lin smiled, and then said: "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that it's been a few days since the film was turned on!

Du Xiaorao let out a sigh of relief, and said secretly in his heart: "I'm scared to death, I thought I was going to be replaced!"

Lu Lin said again: "Sit, don't stand!" Although I feel that this girl's slim appearance is very moving, it is not good for people to stand all the time.

Du Xiaorao sat down on the chair beside Lu Lin, his expression was still a little restrained. After all, the other party's words can determine her star journey, and even the second half of her life, how dare she slack off.

Lu Lin also noticed the girl's unnaturalness, and after thinking about it, he decided to encourage him first, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, in fact, you have performed quite well these days." You can see that you have put a lot of effort into your acting skills!"

Speaking of acting skills, the girl probably came to confidence, and said with a shallow smile: "Well, during the play, the teacher has always asked me to hone my acting skills, don't rush to become famous, I hope I can follow the path of Tsing Yi." ”

Lu Lin said with a smile: "Tsing Yi wants to become famous, but it is much more difficult than Hua Dan!"

Du Xiaorao smiled brightly and said: "I just like acting, and I don't have a particularly strong desire to be a big star." However, Director Lu chose me, which still surprised and made me very grateful!"
