Shay's not-so-good premonition came to a head as Jude wrote A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, and L on the board.

How messy does a movie thread have to be to arrange so many main characters?

Shay shook his head secretly, and directly pronounced the death sentence for this movie in his heart.

This expression fell into the eyes of Li Te, who was on the side, and he immediately knew that something was wrong, and quickly gave Jude a look to remind him to pay attention to this problem.

It's a pity that Jude didn't care, and then added a sentence that made Li Tet almost vomit blood.

"This is just the main role, and those characters who don't have many scenes with them will not be listed separately to elaborate, otherwise the 26 alphabet is estimated to be insufficient."

Shay pursed his lips, noncommittal.

Litt interrupted with a cough: "Locke, don't you think there are too many characters in this play?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll let you know right away that these characters are necessary."

Jude raised his hand to stop Leete's urge to continue talking, and began to lay out the main clues of the film on the whiteboard.

"The main line of the film is divided into two at the beginning, A and B are the first and second characters of the London gang, A is scheming, B is fierce and cruel, A is ready to annex a bar because of old grudges, and sets up a gamble to lure the bar owner's son C into being fooled, leaving him with a debt of 500,000 pounds, intending to force his father to use the bar to pay off. At the same time, A takes a fancy to two highly collectible shotguns, and through B, he finds two thieves K to steal them from the owner's house. ”

Under Jude's whiteboard demonstration, the two clues of "paying off gambling debts" and "stealing guns" are very clearly displayed in front of Shay.

On the one hand, the money C used to participate in the gambling game was put together by him and his friends D, E, and F, so the four of them had to find a way to repay the money together. A ordered them to pay back the money within a week, otherwise they would all be killed, and in desperation, C, D, E, F accidentally found that the next-door neighbor was a gang of gangsters, and the boss G was planning to rob their big . Hemp supplier L, so he decided to come to a black and eat black, and after the other party came back from a successful robbery, he carried out another anti-robbery. ”

After talking about the line of "paying off gambling debts", Jude followed up and talked about the line of "stealing guns".

"The two thieves K stole the gun and went well, but sold the two antique guns that A really needed as scrap to the middleman H, B was furious and threatened K to get the gun back immediately, K quickly called H, but was told that the gun had been sold to C, D, E, and F who were preparing to rob the gang next door."

This dazzling series of plot arrangements made Shay and Leet both wide-eyed, and if it weren't for Jude's presentation on the whiteboard, it is estimated that they would have really been a little confused about what the movie was about for a while.

Li Tet secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, because he knew that Jude should have come prepared this time, otherwise he would not have been so prepared.

Shay's side was different, from the initial disappointment of doubt to the current shock, which made him realize that his previous thoughts might be wrong. Especially when the two story lines are crossed together because of the two shotguns, Shay's evaluation of this movie instantly improves by an unknown number of levels.

Jude didn't intend to give Shay time to breathe a sigh of relief, followed by a large wave of plot "bombardment".

"The robbery and anti-robbery were very successful, C, D, E, F found the middleman H to get rid of it. Hemp, I didn't expect H to find the buyer I was actually the original owner of the goods, and when I learned that the other party was going to sell the things that I had snatched from my hands to myself, I was furious and took my little brother to kill C , D, E and F to the residence of the four people of C, D, E, F. At the same time, G, who was robbed by C, D, E, and F, also found that the robbers actually lived next door to him, so he led people to ambush inside, preparing to kill the other party by surprise. ”

Hearing this, Shay finally couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Then these two groups happened to bump into each other and fought under a misunderstanding?" ”

Jude nodded in agreement.

Shay's expression suddenly became solemn, and he fell into deep thought as he stared at the two plot lines on the whiteboard that intersected, separated, and intersected again.

Such a plot structure was something he had never seen before, and it reminded him of another famous movie this year, "Pulp Fiction".

Seeing that Jude was about to continue explaining the rest of the plot, Shay raised his hand and made a pause.

"Excuse me, I wonder if your film was inspired by Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction?"

"In terms of inspiration, Quentin's other work, Trainspotting, and my film may be closer in structure, but different, of course." Jude drew a circle on the other side of the whiteboard as he spoke, then pointed to it and said: "Pulp Fiction uses the technique of circular narrative, simply put, its main plot line is a loop, and my current film is a multi-line narrative, that is, several things happen at the same time, and then they are connected together through some coincidences. ”

At first, Litt didn't understand why Shay suddenly asked this, but after listening to Jude's explanation, he suddenly realized.

The reason why Quentin's "Pulp Fiction" has achieved so much success has a lot to do with its original cinematic narrative, and now Jude has created a new cinematic narrative method in addition to Quentin, and if the film can be successful, it can become famous like Quentin.

Thinking of this, Li Teh himself couldn't help but get excited, and at the same time secretly complained that Jude didn't reveal some words to him before, if he knew in advance that this script was so good, he could directly skip the new line and go to those big film companies to seek investment.

Of course, it's not too late to realize this now, at least the undisguised shocked expression on Shay's face at the moment makes Li Teh look very cool.

"Please continue!"

Shay sat up straight, the expression on his face no longer as casual as it had been.

G and I fought hard, and in the end, only G escaped alive, but at the door he met the killer J who came to collect debts on A's orders. Ma and two antique guns were both snatched by J. ”

On the whiteboard, with the appearance of Killer J, the two main plot lines that were originally intersecting, separating, and intersecting have an additional branch.

"J took something back to A, and was found by two stupid thieves K on the way, they followed J all the way to A's office, and when J left, he rushed in to grab two antique guns, one of them was shot by A, and the other was killed by B hiding at the door at the same time, and B was successfully attacked by B hiding at the door before he died, and he shot and killed B before he died, and it was not until this moment that the two found out that they knew each other."

After talking about the plot related to J, Jude added a plot to the whiteboard, marked with "G".

"G is not willing to fail, and kidnaps J's son to blackmail him to get back the money and Da. At the same time, C, D, E, and F returned drunk from the bar, and found that the residence had been destroyed in a shootout and there were corpses everywhere, so they had no choice but to go to A, hoping that he could give him a few more days. When I arrived at A's office, I found that everyone was dead, and when I was playing with the two antique guns, J killed them, and the two sides confronted each other, and finally J took the money and **, and the two antique guns belonged to C, D, E, and F. ”

The two story threads, J and G, intersect in A's office.

Jude put down his pen and paused, then began to explain the final ending of the film.

"J killed G and swallowed the money and ** alone, and C, D, E, F, in order to get out of this matter completely, decided to sink the two antique guns into the river, they asked C to do it, and then shortly after C left, J came to the door, left a magazine and told C, D, E, F that the two antique guns were worth 250,000 pounds each, and then D, E, and F began to call C like crazy, and the story ends here!"

Jude spread out his hands and prepared to greet the praise and applause of the two opposites, but he waited for a long time and there was no movement.

Shay stared at the whiteboard behind Jude without saying a word.

Leet was in a slightly better position than Shay, but then asked a stupid question.

"Did those two antique guns end up in the river or were they sold them?"

"Like "This Man is from Earth", the ending is open-ended, and when the story is told here, of course, we must leave a little room for imagination for the audience." Jude explained helplessly.

Li Tet wanted to ask again, but Shay finally spoke.

"I want this script, let's make a price!"
