Some of the cool notebooks were stained with her body temperature, and they quickly became warmer, but the angular spine was still a little awkward, Jian Han's heart moved, raised his head, and looked at the golden title on the spine thoughtfully.

A moment later, she pulled out a dipping pen from Leohard's desk, dipped it in black ink, and without hesitation, she filled in a new line next to the golden title on the spine.

She already had a draft in her heart, and when she wrote it, she saw that next to the golden English lace font, the small black square words looked quite harmonious, just like him and her.

Jian Han looked at it again and again with satisfaction, cherished the four notebooks, and put them back in their original positions, thinking of Leohard's expression when he saw them, she smiled knowingly, and casually took away the script of "The Handmaid's War" on the left side of the bookshelf, which was in the fifth position.

Not surprisingly, the title page of the script is marked with the words "The first episode of the first season", after all, this is an American drama and not a movie, there are as many as twelve episodes in a season, and naturally each episode has a script.

It's just that Jian Han also inspected the bookshelf just now, and Leo Hard only has this script on the bookshelf for the time being, she can't help but make a bold guess, is the first episode still being filmed now? The script for the second episode hasn't come out yet?

With the script in hand, she happily returned to her room, and at first she was a little absent-minded, always thinking about what Leohard would look like when she saw the foreshadowing she had reserved.

But soon, her attention was completely attracted by the script of this American drama, which is comparable to a movie script.

If you want to say that the original book is different from the script, it is probably that in the original work, for the appearance of an important character, it may start from the struggle of his ancestors, all the way to the struggle of his father, until the first half of his own life, and he takes the trouble to explain it clearly.

But in the script, because of the limitation of the length of the TV series itself, it must not be written like this, and from the dialogues of other characters, it is the most common means to simply lay out the background of this character.

Therefore, compared with the original book, the script is usually more streamlined, and the plot is more intense, often one link after another, and the high/tide is repeated.

And this "The War of the Handmaids" is the best of the best, and its screenwriter completely adopted the writing method of the movie script to create the script of this American drama.

American movie scripts are the most routine and the most reflective of screenwriters' talents in Hollywood.

For a newbie, it takes a year just to learn the standard writing format, but it's all worth it.

At least half of the scripts, because they were written in the wrong format, were thrown into the dusty database by Hollywood producers after a glance.

And that's just the beginning.

After that, I have to innovate and write new and interesting things in the fixed routine of the location and narrative of the environment.

This process, I don't know how many barbershop good hands, lost their regular customers.

This thing is really difficult for those who can't, and it's not difficult for those who know.

If you pay close attention, you will find that at the award ceremony of Little Golden Man, the list of nominees for the Best Screenplay Award is always those familiar names, and on the end credits of various blockbusters, it is still these familiar names that occupy the screenwriter column.

It's an industry with a much lower bar than directors and actors, and tens of thousands of scripts flow into Hollywood every year, and their author may be a housewife, a barber who is trying to help customers, hide the embarrassment of his head, or a middle school student whose physics score is always a miserable 3.

But if you want to be the best of them, it is far more difficult than becoming a well-known director or a big-name movie star.

Having said that, the most basic principle of American movie scripts is that the length of a 128-minute movie is just right with a 128-page script!

In other words, one page of script is equivalent to one minute of movie duration.

And what Jian Han is carrying in her hand, this booklet that looks a little thin, happens to be fifty-five pages, if she remembers correctly, the "Game of Thrones", which was popular a few years ago, is about 55 minutes long.

For ordinary American dramas, an episode is only about twenty minutes long.

It seems that the producers of "The Handmaid's War" really wanted to make it a TV series with movie quality.

Obviously, the screenwriters of "The Handmaid's War" lived up to the expectations of the producers.

This screenwriter knows people's hearts well and knows deeply that a good beginning that can grab the audience's attention is equal to half the success.

The first act of the script begins with a view of the entire Sunset City.

It is a city built on the hill, starting from the foot of the mountain, a circle of dwellings winds upward, all the way to the top of the hill, the lights are dim, and the consul's mansion at the top of the hill, the ancient Roman style of white marble palace-like buildings, suddenly magnificently bright.

The Archon sat on a sumptuous throne encrusted with various gems above, looking blankly at the dance floor below, like a real king.

His wife, dressed in a long splendid dress, followed by a row of other wives of the consuls, marched majestically through the doors of the banquet hall surrounded by the handmaidens, and walked to the throne beside the consul in the bows of the guests, and sat down.

Several ladies of status sat on the throne of the lower part of her, and the maids stood respectfully behind the ladies.

But there was a handmaiden who was exceptionally young and beautiful, but she went up to the Archon, and sat down on the footstool under the Archon's throne, and her moving body rested on the Archon's lap, like a pet, and she looked up and chuckled at the Archon.

Another maid, dressed plainly, looking timid and honest, was on her way to fetch wine for her ladies, when a door in the corridor suddenly opened, and a pair of long arms stretched out, embraced her thin waist, and hooked her into the dimly lit room.

"Are you crazy?! Atheus! The maid screamed and called out the man's name, and then her mouth was covered, her skirt was lifted, and only the rapid breathing of men and women remained in the room.

One lady got up gracefully, smiled apologetically at the other ladies, and slowly walked towards the corridor, where she stood still in front of a living room, glanced at no one on the left and right, slammed the door in, and immediately called the man's name eagerly: "Acius? ”

The nobles who came to visit also brought their wives with them, and it was no surprise that these ladies were accompanied by one or two maids.
