When Ye Wei took the pen and paper and returned to the wooden steps in the back garden, he immediately got busy, thinking about the script while recording all his thoughts.

Now there are two main characters, the little girl and her dog, the little girl is called Annie, and the little dog is called Toto.

What is the theme? about courage, friendship, mutual protection......

He looked at the flowers and Toto who were running around and having fun, it was like looking at the muse, imagining that the train would start according to the previously designed track, the scenery along the road was constantly emerging, and the pencil was written on the white paper, and after a while, the outline of the story was completed:

The little girl Anne and the little dog Toto grew up together, they have a deep relationship, they like to dance together, and the cute dance of one person and one dog is famous in the local community and is everyone's happy angel.

Eventually, the community theater invited them to perform on stage, but a sudden traffic accident caused Anne to lose her right leg and be accompanied by a wheelchair crutches. She was very depressed, the old lively angel was lifeless, and everyone had nothing to do but frown.

At this time, Toto encouraged Anne with positive actions, even if she could dance without a wing, and successfully aroused Anne's strong will.

So on this day, on the stage of the community theater, Anne and Toto danced again, and the audience applauded thunderously, which was very moving.

"OK, that's good. Ye Wei smiled and nodded, there can be several touching tear-jerking points in this, especially when Toto encourages Anne and Anne to regain their strength.

He wrote another sentence on the edge of the manuscript paper: Without wings, can she and her puppy still fly?

This is just an outline, a framework, and there is still a long way to go to make a good story.

Ye Wei first remembered the rhythm and structure, because he is the director, editor and soundtrack, so he can consider many things at the stage of script creation, whether to tell the story in order, or there are flashbacks and flashbacks?

He thought of an opening scene: in the courtyard, Anne sat in a wheelchair, looking at the distant sky with sad eyes.

Under the soft and mournful music, a set of montages are used to show the previous story without lines, especially to render the relationship between Anne and Toto, like she happily picked up a paparazzi from the cardboard box, the puppy jumped up and she jumped up, and the dog watched her get hit by a car...... With a dog barking, the music ends, back to the present.

It's good to shoot like this, making short films to play this narrative trick is the easiest to get high praise, and it is easy to stand out in various short film film festivals.

This is because short films are small in length, and it is difficult to tell any novel and profound stories in a few minutes;

It's just not suitable for my situation this time!

Ye Wei once again made this clear in his heart, the skill he wants to show off is not to play with narrative tricks, it is another, it is a skill that can shoot an 18o page feature film script well, for feature films, the sense of rhythm is too important than one or two technical tricks.

"Sequential narration. He jotted it down on paper, and the goal was to build a complete three-act structured story in 1o minutes to show his control over the rhythm of the story, which, in the words of martial arts novels, is called: heavy sword without edge, great ingenuity without work.

Once he had decided on the rhythm and structure, he began to do self-quizzes on paper to get to know the characters and dig into the story.

Q1: Describe Anne more?

A1: A lively and happy little girl, kind, sensible, and loves to dance. She is happy, can infect everyone around her, is like an angel, has almost a qiē goodness, is the treasure of her parents, the treasure of the community.

Q2: What did this character originally desire, and what did she want?

A2: In the first act, she likes to dance and wants to perform for everyone on stage, but she also values everyone's applause and praise, and the pride her family feels for her, and the sense of accomplishment of being a star.

Q3: So in the beginning, she valued the outside more than the inside?

A3: That's right, that's how she treats dancing, seeing it as something that can get applause more than something that can share happiness.

Q4: What does she want to pursue after the turning point?

A4: She wants to pursue a new attitude towards life, and the most important thing is not how she dances, but the happiness that she brings to herself and others, and what she has in her heart.

Q5: So what does she need in Act 2 to succeed in Act III?

A5: Courage, optimism, positivity, never give up.

Q6: Who brought her this revelation and who was the guru?

A6: Toto, the puppy, made her understand that the most touching thing about dance is the vitality, vitality and joy it shows, not the way it moves, and that's how life is.

Q7: Are there any visual props that are particularly important as props for the second turning point?

A7: Anne's little dancing shoes, one.

Q8: Was Anne's car accident caused by herself, and was it a result of the way she saw the world?

A8: It should be so, that the suffering is made by oneself, and salvation is accomplished by oneself. She was not blamed, but was punished by God's revelation.

Q9: What happened to her in the end?

A9: She changed and realized her heart that she and her puppy could fly even without wings!

......

After writing more than 30 Q and A, Ye Wei's feeling for this story was already very strong, as if he could get in touch with the characters in it and see what was alive, he knew that it was time to write a draft, picked up all the papers, and shouted: "Duoduo, brother will go back to the room to write first." ”

"Good. Duoduo answered, and continued to play with Toto.

Ye Wei told his mother again, then returned to the room on the second floor, sat in front of the computer desk, and turned on the ORD.

ORD is not a professional script writing software, but there is no professional software such as Movie-MagineTriter on this computer, so he has to use ORD first, and then get a professional format when he prints later.

No matter what medium, the first step in the formal creation of a text story manuscript is to write a draft, write with your heart, and let the good ideas brewed in your subconscious flow out naturally, without thinking about anything, just writing; after writing the draft, enter the second step, use your brain to revise, how to change, how long to change it will be satisfied, then there is no certainty.

Ye Wei looked at the time, 11:o5, there was about an hour before lunch, just in this hour, create the draft of the script.

He put his hands on the keyboard, slowly closed his eyes, relived those thoughts and feelings, and gradually changed in his mind, the left brain no longer dominates the information, and the right brain takes over itself!

The sound of "crackling" hitting the keyboard suddenly sounded, and he typed in ""Angel Dance", author Ye Wei", and then began to write:

"Fade in."

1 exterior view, the back garden of the house, the day

In the back garden of a house in a middle-class neighborhood, a cute little girl who looks to be seven to ten years old is dancing with a small fluffy dog named Anne and the puppy is called Toto. The puppy's dancing posture was a little clumsy, and when he did a cross-back movement, he didn't jump over it, and bumped into the little girl, causing her to laugh.

Annie: Hahaha, Toto, you idiot, have you forgotten what I taught you?"

......

"35 Interiors, Theater, Night

The theater, which can accommodate thousands of spectators, was packed to the brim, and on the stage, Anne and Toto, with their prosthetic limbs, were dancing with emotion, the audience burst into applause, and Anne's parents and others in the front row were smiling. 』

An hour later, the document on the computer screen was already full of pages, and my mother shouted downstairs: "Only, come down to eat." Ye Wei exhaled a long breath, his hot hands slowly stopped, and he was still shaking with the whimsy of his subconscious.

He continued to type in a few strokes, typing in the three lines of text "fade out, star in the credits, finish", and the draft was finished!

"Wow, you're really good, aren't you?" Ye Wei smiled contentedly, grabbed the mouse and dragged the document, writing a total of 35 scenes, all of which were his brainchild.

But they also need to be tested by the left brain, and writing does not mean that you have to keep it, and having a long beard does not mean that you are an artist.

There must be a lot of these scenes that need to be cut, repetitive, counterproductive, and useless...... They had to be deleted mercilessly, and some new scenes had to be added if necessary. Anyway, each scene must have its own power, combined to form a greater power, otherwise it is useless.

As an author, you must be well aware of this, and making up stories and telling stories is such a magic: controlling the feelings of the people who listen to the stories.

To control zhì, you must know what kind of feeling each scene, every line, and every action will make, and then give it to them, just like making a sophisticated space rocket. All the subtleties make the difference between a good and bad story, whether it's a pile of garbage or a beautiful scenery that makes people linger.

"Only, come down to eat!!Did you hear that!?"

"It's coming!"

Ye Wei hurriedly saved the text, turned off the power on the screen, turned around and left, he only knew that his mother's love was very irritable now.

Soon after a simple lunch, Ye Wei locked himself in the room again and continued to revise the draft, in addition to streamlining the scenes, but also strengthening the story tension and polishing all the lines...... There's so much to do.

Putting in writing will make people feel that time passes, as if just a short time has passed, and the alarm clock set on the mobile phone suddenly noises, 15:4o!

Three hours have passed so quickly? Ye Wei pressed the alarm clock, a little reluctant to leave the chair, but if he didn't leave, he would be late, and he would be angry.

Rome was not built in a day, and it has become less and less efficient, so even if you continue to change, you will not be able to change anything good. Let's stop here for a breath of fresh air and the girl's scent.

Ye Wei saved the document again and closed the ......

Soon, the wooden staircase rattled.

"Mom, Duoduo, I'm out on a date!"
