After all this, he had the time to boil water to make himself a cup of tea, fed Rose a ham sausage, and let it lie quietly at his feet, and then sat quietly on the sofa and picked up the original script that Lou Ye gave him. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The binding of the script is very elegant, and the cover of the brown paper is bound like a thread-bound book. There is a parenthesis below the four big characters "innocent elements" on the cover, and the three small characters "Purple Butterfly" are written in parentheses. Wang Dalun doesn't know what "Purple Butterfly" means, maybe it's another name for this script. Compared with the straightforward "innocents", "Purple Butterfly" seems to be more romantic.

"Manchuria, 1928. Hidehiko Itami, the Chinese translator of the Manchurian Railway Corporation, was anxiously waiting for his Chinese lover Ding Hui in his dormitory, because he had just received an order to return to Tokyo......"

He took a sip of tea, opened the script and read it quietly, and the story began.

The beginning of the story does not take place in Shanghai, but in the Northeast. The love between a beautiful and simple Northeast girl Ding Hui and a Japanese clerk Itami Hidehiko, but the reality is always so cruel, the Japanese clerk was transferred back to China, and this love naturally ended without a problem. Tragedy often ensues, and Ding Hui witnesses the assassination of her brother who hosted the anti-Japanese newspaper.

Then the plot jumps to Shanghai, on the train, a typical Shanghai Koehler (decent little white-collar worker meaning) Situ was mistaken for a killer because he wore the wrong suit, and when he was confused, there was a sudden gunshot, and he witnessed his lover Yiling die under the gunfire. At this time, Ding Hui had grown into a member of the Resistance Group, and she was the one who accidentally killed Little Koehler's lover......

Like most sixth-generation directors, Lou Ye is also a creative director, and the scripts are all written by himself. Coming from a professional background, he is well versed in the construction of three-stage scripts.

Generally speaking, the three-stage structure is the beginning, the middle and the end.

The beginning part is when the author introduces the main characters, and the reader or audience knows the main characters, their friends, lovers, and so on.

At the end of the opening section, the protagonist should decide what he wants to do, and the reader or viewer should know about it. For example, Luke Skywalker learned mysterious martial arts from the mysterious old man at this time to avenge his father, the dwarf decided to go to the Flaming Mountain with the strange ring at this time, and Neo decided to eat the red pill at this time.

Of course, if it's realistic, the protagonist faces new challenges because of some changes. For example, a new job, divorce, etc.,Or psychological changes.,For example, the protagonist's depression is getting worse and worse.,Finally go out to buy a bag of rat poison or something.。 Taken together, these changes lead to the first small high of the story.

Similarly, the first small high tide in the opening part of Lou Ye's script is the shootout at the train station, where Xiao Kellersitu witnessed his lover Yiling die at the gunpoint of Ding Hui, and at the same time he was kidnapped, he could only watch Yiling lying in a pool of blood through the car window, and gradually moved away in the chaotic crowd and dense gunfire......

The plot tends to be more complex in the middle section, and there are usually two climaxes, such as Luke Skywalker learning to use the electric lightsaber with Beaty Wavan, Neo learning how to fight with Morpheus in Matrix, and Po the Panda practicing with his master at this stage, etc.

The first climax is when the protagonist faces the first challenge, which makes the protagonist frustrate for the first time, and at this time, the protagonist will find himself on a path of no return. If the protagonist could still choose to give up before, now he is in a life-and-death situation. The magic necklace that allows the protagonist to return to his own world is destroyed, or the protagonist's daughter is taken hostage by the villains, the gray-robed wizard dies in the mine with no turning back, and so on.

The first orgasm is followed by a short period of recovery, when the protagonist begins to reflect, doubt, reinvigorate, or the protagonist finds himself in danger and the situation becomes more and more urgent.

This is followed by the second climax, which should be the protagonist's second frustration, or some thrilling revelation, etc. For example, "Luke, I'm your father", or "There is not a word on the martial arts secrets", or "Agent Smith is actually a virus, and he killed the prophet old woman" and so on.

Lou Ye obviously grasped the setting of the plot in the middle very well: Situ, who got the information in the chaos, was captured by Hidehiko Itami, who was already a Japanese spy, and Situ, who was tortured, was ignorant of all this. Itami learns from traitors within the Resistance that Situ is indeed the unlucky guy who stumbled into him by mistake, and lets him go.

The resistance group believed that the released Situ had become a traitor and wanted to eliminate him. Situ went from being an outsider to being in deep confusion, threatened by both Japanese intelligence and resistance, but completely unable to explain to either side. And Itami met his old lover Ding Hui by chance, and the meeting between the two was discovered by Situ again, which made Situ completely confused about the things around him, and the revenge for Yiling was completely goalless.

For the Resistance, which has lost its real killer, they must complete the plan to assassinate Yamamoto on their own. Ding Hui, who happened to be in two camps between the old and new lovers, became an important object that the two sides had to use to set up a situation against each other, and she was also extremely dazed by the inner torture of killing innocents by mistake.

Finally, there is the end, and it is also the last climax, the most thrilling paragraph, where all the secrets are unlocked to reveal the truth. Cannon fodder is going to be shelled here, and the classmate Snappe, who always thought he was a bad guy, is actually a good person, and it turns out that the godfather was assassinated and betrayed by his cronies Tessio, etc. The protagonist often faces his biggest challenge, or faces his own worst nightmare.

If it's a happy ending, the protagonist will defeat the bad guys, reach their goals, and grow themselves through this adventure. If it is a tragicomedy ending, the protagonist will not be able to achieve his goal, but he will still be able to grow and improve in this experience and learn more about himself. If it is a tragic ending, the protagonist will not only fail to achieve his goal, but his self will also be destroyed.

Obviously, as Lou Ye's consistent style, whether it is the previous "Weekend Lover" or "Suzhou River", it is all a tragedy. This script is certainly no exception. After all, in this world, only tragedy is eternal.

Ding Hui followed Itami to the Japanese clubhouse to attend a party, and the two hugged and danced. Itami told Ding Hui that Yamamoto would not come, and Xie Ming would not come, and that he was already dead. The shocked Ding Hui stabbed Itami, and at this time, Situ broke into the dance hall, shot Itami, and turned the gun on Ding Hui......

In fact, most movies or novels have this three-part structure, and Hollywood movies have a more rigid structure, and there is often a small epilogue after the final climax. For example, the prince and princess live happily together, the warrior defeats the evil dragon and brings peace to the country, the strong woman finally realizes the importance of family and love and cares more about her children and husband, Luke becomes a good Jedi, through the sacrifice of Neo, humans and Matrix coexist peacefully, the Lord of the Rings is destroyed, and the dwarfs sail with the elves, etc.

Lou Ye's last sentence is one sentence: On July 7, 1937, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out, and since then China has fallen into an eight-year arduous war of resistance......

One more sentence here, many online novels also follow a three-stage structure - introducing characters, analyzing problems, and resolving contradictions. It's interesting if you figure it out.

If you are a girl, when you see it clearly, don't keep bothering about those brothers, and worry about the plot layout and story structure, maybe you can get twice the result with half the effort;

In fact, our lives are full of three-stage and three-stage bodies, and we live a three-stage life: ignorance in childhood, hardship in middle age, and sittingness in old age.

Okay, let's get down to business again.

The script is very long, but the dialogue is surprisingly small, Lou Ye uses a large paragraph of text to describe the bits and pieces of old Shanghai in the thirties, and even down to the pull-up wooden window of Yiling's house separated by a thin iron fence.

It is precisely because of the meticulousness that when Wang Dalun reads the script, the scenes described in the script will naturally appear in his mind. For example, the scene when the traitor and Itami exchanged information, this should be a long shot, through the layer of glass, passers-by on the street, hawkers, and trams, etc., the camera through these layers of barriers, hitting the back of the traitor's head and Itami's face, at this moment Wang Dalun's ears seem to be faintly able to hear the background sound full of market atmosphere.

This seems to be a dream of Lou Ye, a dream of old Shanghai where reality and illusion blend, and where despair and hope coexist.

But at the same time, Wang Dalun also understood why the relevant departments would revise the script again and again, not only deliberately finding faults, but also teaching him the rules. Just the script, from the standpoint of the relevant departments, there are indeed too many problems and obscurities.

From "Weekend Lover" to "Suzhou Creek", Lou Ye has a not-so-nice nickname: Director Wet. Naturally, the wet director makes a wet movie. Between Ding Hui and Itami, between Ding Hui and Xie Ming, between Situ and Yiling, there are all kinds of passionate dramas.

Of course, this is not the most serious, the most serious thing is that the nature of the resistance organization is obscure, but with Wang Dalun's superficial historical knowledge and the influence of various anti-Japanese dramas in his previous life, it can basically be seen that the nature of this resistance organization should be a military commander, not an underground organization of our party. This is a serious crooked buttocks, a serious mistake in direction, and a serious deviation from the spirit of Taizu's speech in those years -- art is for politics. After all, around the history of the Anti-Japanese War, the two parties have always competed to put gold on their faces.

However, if you look at it from a purely artistic point of view, these are secondary, in fact, this is a love story of the war years, a story of love and revolution. tortured the revolution in love, and stifled love in the revolution.

What's more, Lou Ye also gave the resistance organization a nice code name - Purple Butterfly.

Situ is an innocent character. His girlfriend was killed, and he was involved in this revolution and was finally killed. The originally happy couple was ruined in this way.

Ding Hui is an innocent character. The elder brother was killed by Japanese radical nationalists, and he joined an anti-Japanese organization to assassinate the Japanese, and finally ruined his love and ruined his life.

If you analyze every character in the script carefully, it seems that everyone is innocent, and everyone is helpless and miserable. Everyone can have love, but everyone can't get love, because revolution ruined everything.

In fact, compared with the romantic name of "Purple Butterfly", the straightforward "Innocents" can better reflect the theme of the script.

Although the script still has the problem of not being recognized by the mainstream society in China in one way or another, as far as the script itself is concerned, if the movie can really be made as it is, Wang Dalun believes that at least in the future, "Lust and Caution" will not need to be mixed, and the plot will be far more tortuous than "The Wind".

When Wang Dalun was in school, he hated Mr. Lu Xun very much, and every sentence, every word, and even every word of his articles represented obscure meanings. But when he finished reading the script, he had to think of a passage from Mr. Lu Xun: Revolution, ****, not revolution. The one who is killed in the revolution is killed in the ****, the one who is not killed in the revolution is killed in the revolution and the one who is not reformed or killed in the revolution as the one who is killed, or the one who is killed in the revolution or the one who is not killed as anything. Revolution, Revolution......

When I was in school, I always thought that Mr. Lu Xun was a great writer, but from the current point of view, Mr. Lu Xun is more like an angry young man and a big V. Now that I think about Mr. Lu Xun, he is also lucky, living in that era without a title, if he lived in the present, I am afraid that he would have been arrested by the title a long time ago.

Wang Dalun looked out the window of the balcony, and before he knew it, night had fallen.

"Fuck!"

He suddenly jumped up from the couch, forgetting to put the sheets in while they were still hanging outside.

After drying all afternoon, although the sheets are dry, there will always be dew when it gets dark, so I can only hang them on the balcony temporarily, and the sun will come out tomorrow and then dry thoroughly.

It's already past seven o'clock, and my friends won't come back for dinner. The vegetables he bought yesterday morning were still in the refrigerator compartment of the refrigerator, so he picked and chose the fish and meat that could be frozen, and the vegetables that could not be frozen, and simply fried two of them, and dealt with the dinner so-so.

He originally wanted to make a phone call to his girlfriend, but after thinking about it, her relatives in the past few days would definitely not be too emotionally stable, and maybe they would quarrel again.

He couldn't help but yawn, think about it, he didn't sleep well last night, and he was not in a daze until the early hours of the morning for less than two hours.
