After reading these replies, Li Xiaole became depressed, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice: Damn! Where have all those discerning masters gone? Blake Snyder's classic was judged to be worthless! The 105k compressed package he uploaded this article has less than 50 downloads, I really don't understand what these Yankees are doing!?

Li Xiaole unwillingly flipped through the first few pages of the screenwriting forum, and saw that there were many debates about Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone script, and it turned out that a post about best-selling author J.K. Rowling published a post asking whether the changes to the Harry Potter movie script were reasonable, which led to a war of words between Hollywood screenwriters and New York writers.

In addition to these competitive screenwriters, the only people left on the top pages are Hollywood celebrities like "American Pie" screenwriter Sheila Hanahan who are recruiting partners.

I see, it's no wonder that no one pays attention to his nobody's academic articles, Li Xiaole can't help but feel a headache, is it ...... He also wants to use a little trick like those online traders?

Li Xiaole clicked on his post, dragging the mouse meaninglessly, hesitating whether to take the risk of hacking into the website and registering a few more IDs to artificially top it, but he was worried that in a professional website like the United States, the top post without content would only end up being locked by the administrator, and I am afraid that the result would be more than worth the loss.

Just when Li Xiaole hesitated, he inadvertently noticed a somewhat familiar name on the screen, among the guys who discussed "Alien" in his post, there was a registered ID called Gangster.

Wait, gangster?

The thorny gangster of the West Bank Writers Guild? Li Xiaole suddenly remembered, sat up, and checked the time when this gangster was registered, sure enough, it was 1978, and most of the themes in the reply post were about "Blade Runner", "Alien", "Strange Flower", these movies, I can't be wrong, it's really the deity.

Oh, my God...... Li Xiaole felt like he was dreaming, and his fingers were trembling excitedly when he came back to his senses, just like a literary and artistic young man who had been graffiti on the street, and suddenly saw Picasso's feeling, I really didn't expect that this master-level figure would personally reply to his nobody's post, which is also too honorable.

Li Xiaole suddenly came to his senses, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he immediately realized that things had taken a turn for the better, and he couldn't rely on a bunch of theories to convince him of a big man like a gangster who could turn the clouds and rain in Hollywood......

I'm sorry...... Master Scott, I'm also begging for food, offending and offending~ Li Xiaole silently thought in his heart, and replied to this gangster separately below the post.

"Man, you must be a layman, and I dare say Ridley Scott, the director of 'Alien', must have seen Jaws to get the same inspiration. This type of ghost house, whether it is located in a spaceship, a seaside town, or a Disneyland for dinosaurs, is composed of three key points, 1 powerful monster, 2 closed houses, and 3 an original sin.

"Alien" must have been filmed 100% in imitation of the great white shark, and this classic can be replicated, such as the great white shark becoming an alien, the seaside town being transformed into a spaceship, and the officials who open the beach for tourism revenue compared to the company that wants to bring back alien creatures to do research. Well, even the story rhythm is the same. ”

After Li Xiaole replied, he took out a pack of ramen noodles from the cupboard, cut some green onions, boiled them in an electronic pot, and used them as dinner (daomengren to see the fastest update), and then returned to the computer after eating slowly, but he didn't expect to see that the reply from the arrogant gangster had already come.

"The story beats the same way? Is what you're trying to say is that the good guys finally defeat the monsters and it's the same rhythm? Don't be funny buddy, according to what you say, all commercial movies can be said to be plagiarism. ”

Li Xiaole couldn't help but be a little happy when he looked at it, this big fish was hooked so quickly, sat in front of the computer and took a deep breath, and began to type and start a debate match with the other party:

"Ninety minutes of story, three acts, fifteen rhythm films, at the beginning of the theme presentation is the discovery of a 'powerful monster', then the protagonists hunt together after an argument, and then after the same old-fashioned aiqing plot in the second act, our "little alien" and "little white shark" are killed, don't you think this is the typical 'false victory' in my article? Is it a coincidence? With all these haunted house episodes, I can guess what is going to happen with my eyes closed. ”

"It's just a couple of coincidences, and it doesn't explain plagiarism at all!"

"So how do you explain the next plot? Then the monsters raged, the aliens and the great white sharks also ate one partner after another, and the two protagonists suddenly discovered the conspiracy at the end of the second act, Ding Dong ~ 'Soul Night' bridge, exactly the same point in time. ”

What does this mean? Isn't that the case with dilemma design? ”

"Okay, now you've finally admitted that the bridge is similar, right? Didn't the crew members who were trapped in the cabin and learn that they were going to die, and the police chief, who was waiting on the mast to be eaten by the great white shark, had the same words written on their faces: 'I'm finished, God, please save my ......'? I bet you can't tell who's coming from just by changing the background of these two shots! ”

During the two-hour online debate, every time the gangster who refused to admit defeat refuted, Li Xiaole wrote a large paragraph of analysis and explanation, mercilessly judging him to the point of incompleteness. In front of a film analysis system that is recognized as the most authoritative in ten years, no matter how talented you are, no matter how prominent and authoritative you are, you have to bow down.

After a few rounds, the discerning person quickly knew the conclusion of the debate.

"1979's "Alien" and 1975's "Jaws", two films with completely different themes, are almost identical, and even many of the former's bridges are suspected of plagiarizing the latter."

Of course, their argument only aroused the attention of a small number of people, in this circle, many real-life celebrities generally use vest accounts for convenience, in order to be able to exchange information more freely.

And most of them know each other in reality, "Gangster" is one of the most famous characters, and many Hollywood people know that his real identity is the legendary British director who once directed "Alien" and "Blade Runner", Ridley Scott.

"Gangster" was repaired by a nobody in the topic of discussing "Alien"? How is this possible? Some unreasonable people of good deeds also joined in, leaving messages ridiculing "gangsters", which made many people who followed the post laugh at the computer.

Is there anything more interesting than a nobody who came out of nowhere to talk about the script of "Alien", and squeezed the film art masters who directed it out of shame.

And interesting is interesting, and many people are also surprised to find that the true value of this logical screenwriting article "Save the Cat" article is unconsciously deeply fascinated by this brand-new, creative logical classification, and it is difficult to extricate themselves.

It's incredible that they try to get into all the different movie sets they know, and they can all find a pattern in this system......

Although everyone didn't say it, they couldn't help but think the same thing, although there are still many immature places and details to be discussed, but they are likely to witness the birth of a new and great film classification system...... ~

At the same time, in the bedroom of a Gothic villa in the Bishop Road district of London, a beautiful blonde girl in her twenties sat on a pink bed and yelled at the computer angrily: "fuck~! Damn Asians~! It's just a mouthful~! ”

"Kelly, are you messing with my computer again?" A bearded, gray-haired Englishman came in with a plate of delicate chocolate chip cookies and a disgruntled face.

"Ridley, I'm not messing around!"

The blonde girl tried to defend herself loudly: "There's a retarded person named H who is sarcastically mocking you for plagiarism in filming!" I'm defending your dignity. ”

"Haven't you gotten used to the irresponsible statements on the Internet?"

Ridley Scott smiled and pinched his grumpy daughter's shoulder, looked at the computer screen, and just wanted to close it, but suddenly attracted by the words on it, and sat down unconsciously.

"It's kind of interesting......"

Ridley Scott touched his chin and muttered to himself, the more he watched, the more he relished, after watching it for about half an hour, he couldn't help muttering: "I didn't expect my movie to have so much in common with Jaws...... Haunted House Type...... Fifteen rhythm points ......"

"Aren't you angry, Ridley? He's slandering you, huh? Kelly said strangely.

"En......"

Ridley Scott came to his senses from his musings and lifted his chin strangely, "No, maybe he's right. To some extent, I copied the scenes of Jaws, and although I didn't mean to, I did get some inspiration from Jaws, but I didn't summarize it in writing like this......"

Looking at his lost daughter, Ridley Scott couldn't help but smile and comfort: "Kelly, you don't need to be wronged, this person must be a master screenwriter in MGM or Fox, this article is so wonderful that it can be my teacher." ”

"But the IP address of all this guy's posts is in South Korea! He's not an American at all!" Kelly blushed and yelled at the computer screen.

"South Korea?" Ridley Scott had a look of extreme confusion on his face, as if he was extremely confused by the answer......
