5. Script writing
There are three elements to the creation of a screenplay.
Conflicts, character language and stage descriptions.
Among them, contradictions and conflicts are the key to the script, and only when there is conflict can there be a low tide and a high tide, and only then can the audience's emotions be driven.
The character language is the soul of the script, it represents whether the character settings in the script are distinct, and only a successful character language can make the characters have a soul and the audience have a sense of substitution.
Zuihou's stage description is an elaboration of the script as a whole. The script is not more than the novel, it requires a sense of picture, and the stage description is to tell this sense of picture to the director, so that the director can shoot the best shot according to the script.
The seemingly simple three elements are the key points that some screenwriters can't understand in their lives.
And Ye Sumang, who has a quick line of thought, can easily grasp these three key points.
The story he writes takes place one night, in a 24-hour supermarket.
The introduction of the story, Ye Sumang, is very cleverly designed, directly quoting the hottest topic of the moment - lottery.
You must know that now is the time for the welfare lottery to enter the computerization and develop into a national heat. Almost all the people are buying lottery tickets and heading for the legendary jackpot of five million. So Ye Sumang also wants to take a ride on this craze.
With the background and cause, the rest of the story is much easier.
The conflict came from a lottery ticket that was wronged, and the lottery player He Sanshui, who was supposed to win a prize of 9,500 yuan two months ago, was disappointed because the supermarket proprietress had made a wrong number, and He Sanshui repeatedly went to the proprietress to ask for money in the past two months, but he has been shirked and ridiculed. In anger, he took his stupid cousin tire, who was also deceived, and made a strange decision, that is, to 'rob' the supermarket and sell the goods to make enough money for himself.
And the supermarket salesmen Tang Xiaolian and Li Junwei, who were on duty that night, and his friend Zhu Liao, were innocently involved.
During the period of selling goods to make money, many customers with different personalities came to the supermarket, and under He Sanshui's stubborn temper and unfamiliar business, many hilarious things happened between the collision of the two. And during this time, the people who were locked in the house did not give up the opportunity to escape, but they always fell short at the juncture.
experienced many ups and downs during the period, and finally when He Sanshui wanted to scrape together 9,500 yuan, the biggest turning point in the whole movie appeared.
A real robber, with a real pistol in his hand, pointed fiercely at everyone in the supermarket. The turning point of the whole story also happens after the appearance of the real robber, in the face of danger, everyone finally puts aside their prejudices about each other and works together, Zuihou catches the robber with the help of the police.
The end of the story is a happy ending, and everyone has their own happiness. Ye Sumang wrote the whole story in this supermarket, because the supermarket is a place where everyone can enter and everything will happen.
Ye Sumang was busy in front of the computer until the early hours of the morning, and finally finished writing the entire script.
Today's weather is exceptionally sunny, it can be called cloudless, the snow is gradually melting, bringing out a bone-chilling feeling, all say, 'Spring is cold, freezing kills the young', not to mention the old man Ye's old bones, this is not just a few steps home from the film studio, he is so frozen that he has a sign of old cold legs to repeat.
"Huh, Su Mang, why do you run here to sleep." As soon as he entered the door, as soon as the old man took a breath, he saw his grandson lying on the computer desk sleeping with direct drool, and there were still a few marks on the keyboard on his delicate little face, obviously he had been asleep for a long time.
The old man is very curious, after all, Ye Sumang is famous for his habit of paying attention to work and rest, and when he sleeps in front of the computer desk, he is afraid that he will not be able to see him once a year.
With curiosity, the old man took a closer look and found that the computer was still open, which was the interface of the document, and there were dozens of A4 sheets of paper on the printer next to it, which were covered with text.
The old man picked up the dozens of pieces of paper and looked at them a few times, and found that it was actually a script, and immediately looked at Ye Sumang curiously.
When did my grandson start writing again? And I'm not busy with exams lately, how can I still have time to write a script?
With all kinds of questions, the old man began to browse the content of the script in his hand, and he flipped through it very quickly, almost sweeping it at a speed, ten lines at a glance, and in just over ten minutes, dozens of pieces of paper had been turned over by the old man.
But then he didn't put it down, but looked at it again. This time he looked very seriously, and almost didn't drop a word. With the passage of time, accompanied by the old man's happy daxiao sound from time to time, three hours passed unconsciously, and Ye Sumang also woke up from the computer desk.
Because he was asleep on the table, Ye Sumang, who had just woken up, felt that his cervical spine was very sore, and when he turned his neck, he found that he was reading the script he had rushed out last night with a happy face.
"Grandpa, how is the script written?" Ye Sumang immediately moved a chair and sat opposite his grandfather, and asked at the same time. However, although it is a question sentence, Ye Sumang is confident.
"It's good, the footage is well written and detailed, and the story conflict assumptions are reasonable. In particular, the character settings are excellent, and each one has their own characteristics, which is quite distinct. The dialogue is also very humorous. Seeing his grandson wake up, Old Man Ye closed the script and praised with a smile.
"Of course, this is the success of your grandson's labor in one night." Ye Sumang was not modest, but naturally smiled at his grandfather's appreciation, and he also felt that he wrote this script very interestingly.
"So what do you think will make a movie?" Seeing that his grandfather opened the script again, Ye Sumang suddenly asked.
"You want to make this script into a movie?"
Looking at Ye Sumang's expectant eyes, Old Man Ye was surprised, he couldn't understand how this kid could think of jumping so much, as soon as he wrote the script, he thought about making a movie.
I wanted to refuse in one bite, after all, now he himself was overwhelmed by the affairs of the factory, but he saw the indescribable expectation in Ye Sumang's eyes. When it came to his mouth, he swallowed it hard.
It was this kind of look that made Old Man Ye fall into deep thought in an instant.
"Grandpa, weishenme, everyone bullied me, they also said that I was a wild child, without my parents, where did my parents go?"
"Grandpa, the aunt outside said that I am a mourning star, what is a mourning star..."
"Grandpa, I want to be strong, I won't cry anymore......"
"Facing the sun, the shadow is behind you, grandfather, how nice this sentence is, I will always smile and face the sun in the future, the shadow will be far behind..."
The unhappiness of childhood did not crush his grandson, but because of a simple sentence, a teenager who was only a few years old kept smiling when facing troubles. The persistence contained in this made Mr. Ye also moved, this mature mentality also made him feel extremely sad, the family has created Ye Sumang's precocious character, since he was a child, without the protection of his parents, this child's mind is also growing at a rate several times that of his peers.
His thoughts turned, and seeing Ye Sumang's still expectant eyes, Old Man Ye took a deep breath, looked at the script in his hand with appreciation, and made a decisive decision: "I'll take it to the factory today to see if any director is willing to take it." ”
Now the collection is 28, everyone do a favor to collect, to 50 I add better, okay?
