Su Xiaofan followed the sign and quickly found the bookshelf area related to the screenwriter.

"Your Script Is Dead!100 Ways to Turn Decay into Magic" [US] Ex.

"Save the Cat: A Screenwriter's Guide" Blake Snyder.

"The Psychology of Screenwriting: Constructing Conflict in the Script" by William Yindick.

……

Su Xiaofan's hand gently slid over the rows of books, feeling a little dazzled, and he didn't know which one to start with.

It's just too much......

Suddenly, Su Xiaofan's eyes lit up, and he saw another bookshelf with "movie script" written on it, he walked over to take a look, and found that it was all the original script of the movie!

"Hero", "Inception", "Chongqing Forest", "Master Key", "Instinct" ......

Almost all the movies Su Xiaofan has seen have on it.

That's kind of awesome......

Many movies can be found by checking the Internet, but the original scripts of those movies may not be found.

Some producers will even keep the original script secret, and even after the film is released, it will not be printed and published, and at most a few copies will be made for archiving.

Well...... If it wasn't a popular movie, even if the script was printed and published, how many people would buy it?

For ordinary people, reading the original script is undoubtedly boring and verbose, because the script will repeatedly emphasize: time, place, environment, characters, costumes, props, etc., which is completely different from the novel that only shows the information that the reader wants to see.

But for people like Su Xiaofan who are studying movies, these things are priceless!

After watching the movie and analyzing the original script, you can know how the director turned the text script into a picture at that time, what are the differences between the presentation of the picture and the text script, and what are the reasons for these differences in the presentation of the picture...... Wait a minute.

In this analysis process, we can not only reverse the director's thinking during filming, but also see the screenwriter's lack of consideration of the actual situation when creating the script.

Screenwriting is different from writing a novel, a novel can be whimsical and unscrupulous, but while opening the brain, screenwriting should also consider the difficulty of presenting the picture according to the actual situation.

This is also the main reason why many excellent novels are difficult to adapt for film and television, or are far from the original book after adaptation.

Su Xiaofan began to find out the movie scripts he had read and was interested in from the bookshelf with some excitement.

"Following", "Fragments of Memory", "Batman: Shadow Mystery", "Deadly Magic", "Inception".

emm~ It's all the work of Christopher Nolan.

Since the library can only borrow ten books at a time, Su Xiaofan chose five scripts and five reference books.

He was holding a thick pile of books and was about to register when he suddenly felt something poke his shoulder.

When I looked back, I saw JR Tang Muxuan, a child-faced person from the acting department, looking at Su Xiaofan embarrassedly with her big bright eyes.

"It turned out to be Brother Xuan," Su Xiaofan smiled, "What's wrong?"

Tang Muxuan also smiled, and then pointed to the book Su Xiaofan was holding in his arms: "That...... You're going to borrow some books?"

"Isn't it okay?" Su Xiaofan was a little puzzled.

"It's not ......" Tang Muxuan looked down at the title of the book, "It's just that I just want to read the script of "Inception", ......"

After Su Xiaofan heard this, he immediately put all the books on the table, then took out the "Inception" and handed it to Tang Muxuan: "Give it to you." ”

"Thank you. Tang Muxuan was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly took over the script, "Actually, I just read a short paragraph, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait for me." ”

Su Xiaofan nodded and asked with some curiosity, "You also like this movie?"

Tang Muxuan smiled, pulled out a chair and sat down: "I like it, I just don't understand it, especially I don't understand the role of Mar very well, I want to check the lines of the original script to see if there are any discrepancies." ”

As she spoke, she flipped the script to the last few pages, pointed to the script and said, "In the final lost realm, Mar knows that her husband has implanted the idea of "this is not reality" in her mind, killing her own truth......

"She cried and begged Cobb to stay with her in the dream, and even went under the knife on Cobb, but then she nodded and accepted the fact that she was dead......"

Tang Muxuan shook her head: "I don't understand, how can a self-reliant and stubborn woman like Mar accept such a reality so quickly?"

After Su Xiaofan heard this, he immediately said: "You shouldn't find the answer to this question in the script." ”

"Why?"

"You're probably studying this character, right? If you're just putting yourself in the shoes of this character, you'll never have an answer to that question. ”

Su Xiaofan said with certainty: "But if you jump out of this role, after looking at the structure of the whole film, you will find that Mar is not actually an independent character." ”

"Not an independent character?" Tang Muxuan put down the script in her hand and looked at Su Xiaofan with a puzzled expression.

"That's right, it's a pathetic character, because she's only a subconscious embodiment of Cobb from beginning to end, and her true fate has long been doomed and over. Su Xiaofan sighed, "In this case, all the unreasonable explanations are on Cobb himself."

"The last layer of the Lost Realm is the manifestation of the chaotic consciousness, and what is presented in it is the subconscious. For example, when Cobb and Mar entered the Lost Realm after dying of old age in the fourth layer of dreams, they showed a state of youthful rejuvenation, because at that time, they subconsciously wished that they would return to the sweet time of love. ”

Tang Muxuan blinked as if she didn't understand: "Then you mean that Cobb's subconscious forced Mar to accept reality?"

Su Xiaofan nodded, and shook his head again: "I personally think that the plot is actually Cobb implanting himself with the idea of 'his wife has died and forgave him', he hopes that he can accept the reality and no longer live in guilt - for the sake of their children." ”

After Tang Muxuan heard this, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This problem, if it weren't for Tang Muxuan's special study of this role and immersion to a certain depth, would not have appeared at all.

And once it appears, it means that she has completely substituted into the character's thinking, and it is quite difficult to jump out and look at the overall situation at this time.

This is the saying that the authorities are obsessed.

The actor can have such an addiction, which means that she has entered the play, which is a good thing,

The director, on the other hand, should be a calm bystander, guiding her correctly when the actor has already entered the play.

If the director can't convince the actor, the actor is likely to fall into a state of paradox, and thus subconsciously resist the role - there are too many things where the actor and the director have a conflict of ideas, and thus tear the performance.
