Chapter 41: Dramatic Conflict
In the first half of the holiday, Gu Bei spent time in the crew of "My Father and Mother", and the second half was spent in his own house and the old man Nangong's house, but with the old man Nangong and Master Liu who were arguing with him, as well as Nangong Xiaokong's delicious meals, this wasted time became Gu Bei's beautiful memory.
The vacation passed quietly, and Gu Bei also ushered in the second semester of his freshman year, and he also went to the literature department to report on the first day.
Not long after arriving at the Department of Literature, Gu Bei unexpectedly met an acquaintance, and after confirming it, he quickly chased after him and said, "Teacher Diao Yinan!" ”
Diao Yinan turned around in surprise, and when he saw that it was Gu Bei, he smiled and said, "It's you, Gu Bei, has school started?" ”
Diao Yinan and Zhang Baibai are people in a small circle, Gu Bei worked with Diao Yinan when he filmed "Love to the End" before, Diao Yinan is also one of the screenwriters of this play, and he often went to the set during the filming.
"School started, I didn't expect to meet you here." Gu Bei really didn't expect that although Diao Yinan was a student in the Literature Department of the Academy of Drama, he had already graduated several years ago.
"Come back to visit a former teacher, by the way, my teacher said, you're here to minor in screenwriting? Do you know who your homeroom teacher is in the Department of Literature? Maybe we're still the same teacher. ”
"I know, Mr. Li Bozhao, I heard that the qualifications are very old and the prestige is also very high."
"The prestige is really high, the people are quite easy-going, and the classes are also very tasteful."
"Do you know Mr. Li Bozhao?" Gu Bei was surprised for a moment, and then thought of a possibility, and asked, "Your former homeroom teacher is also Teacher Li Bozhao?" ”
Hearing this, Diao Yinan smiled and said, "Speaking of which, you are my direct junior brother." ”
Gu Bei didn't shirk it, and immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said, "Senior brother is good!" ”
"Little junior brother, you will become a wrist soon, and I have to give my senior brother a little face when I look for you to film in the future."
Diao Yinan is very introverted in the eyes of outsiders, but Diao Yinan, like most introverts, will become very natural after getting acquainted, and sometimes it will be very dense, and he also made a little joke at this time, making fun of Gu Bei.
"That's a good dare, my brother is a director, and if you ask me to play a role, I will definitely not refuse." Gu Bei also replied politely, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future, Diao Yinan's usual actor is also Liao Fan, who cooperated with Gu Bei in "Carry Love to the End".
"Okay, I'll just remember what you said." Diao Yinan said with a smile, and then chatted casually, "Are you going to class?" ”
"That's right, it just happened to be Mr. Li Bozhao's screenwriting study."
"Oh, I know, the teacher has to go to class, otherwise I'll sit at his house for a while."
Gu Bei saw that Diao Yinan's face showed a trace of regret, and a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, so he proposed: "Senior brother, come here, just listen to Teacher Li's lecture again, it's not a trip in vain." ”
"Listen to the teacher's class again?" Diao Yinan was also very moved when he heard this, and agreed after a little consideration, as Gu Bei rushed to the lecture hall where the class was held, outsiders were not welcome to observe the classes of the Drama Academy, but Diao Yinan was not considered an outsider, and he also listened to the courses he had heard before, not to mention that the lecturer in the class was Teacher Li Bozhao, and knowing Diao Yinan would naturally not drive Diao Yinan out.
After sitting in the classroom for a few minutes, as the class bell rang, an elderly scholar slowly walked up to the podium, not tall, of medium stature, with slightly white sideburns, and a pair of slightly cloudy eyes under metal-rimmed glasses.
This is one of the masters of the Literature Department of the School of Drama, Mr. Li Bozhao, after seeing Mr. Li put down the handouts and textbooks he was carrying, he wrote the four big characters of the dragon flying and phoenix dance on the blackboard behind him - "drama conflict".
Teacher Li stood still in front of the podium, looked around for a while, and then said in a neutral voice: "Drama conflict, I don't need to explain more, before class, I will leave you an after-class homework to understand the birth and development of the special artistic technique of drama conflict, and understand the application of drama conflict in literary creation, film and television creation, drama, and stage drama creation." ”
"Okay, let's talk about this dramatic conflict today, the usual dramatic conflict roughly has these situations, direct fighting, fighting, which is obvious, staying on the surface, is the most direct external conflict, in addition, psychological activities will also produce dramatic conflicts, which need to be analyzed in combination with specific storylines and characters, which belong to internal conflicts, but whether it is internal or external dramatic conflicts, they only stay on the surface."
After a slight pause, Mr. Li then said in a firm tone: "The most important thing in the use of dramatic conflict in creation is social conflict, what is social conflict? Lawson's point of view is that people will be conscious of their will, and there are two considerations to test this will: first, whether the person who produces the conscious will correctly understands the world, and secondly, whether what 'he' does is compound with the development of society, that is, social necessity. ”
The other school also interprets social conflict as a conflict of wills, that is, the conflict between individual will and society, and the good or bad of a story lies in the conflict between the world and society it shapes, which is different and makes the story interesting. Going back to the two considerations just now, what happens if a person does not have a correct understanding of the world? ”
Li Bozhao looked at the students in front of him, and the students also replied in twos and threes: "It will be incompatible with the world." ”
"That's right! This misfit is a dramatic conflict. Li Bozhao was obviously interested, and his tone was a little hurried, "Then can we write about a class of people who are incompatible with this world, their living conditions, this is the way of biography, choose a different person, or can we create a person who does not exist in the real world at all?" An idealized person? Those superhuman and virtual technology abroad are one of them, and there are also those who are immutable. ”
"What if it conflicts with social necessity?" Li Bozhao didn't wait for the students to answer this time, and said directly, "Extinction or transcendence, extinction is a tragedy, transcendence is a small world with one's own inside, many literary and artistic movies like this feeling, and have their own beliefs, this New Year is a small world outside the transcendent object......"
In the next 90 minutes, Gu Bei was completely attracted by Li Bozhao's charm and the professor's creative world, and indulged in it, like a sponge falling into the sea, constantly absorbing the water that represented knowledge around him.
It is also this first class, Gu Bei seems to understand a truth, writing a story, there is a social conflict, reflecting a certain aspect of society is the threshold for a story to become a good story, as for how to react, whether to react well or badly, the benevolent and the wise will see the wise.
In addition, Li Bozhao emphasized again and again not to moan without illness, which is a big taboo, Gu Bei's preliminary understanding is not to depict an overly dark but only a small and negligible aspect of society.
But Li Bozhao also left a sentence that left a deep impression on Gu Bei: "Don't moan if you are not sick, but if you are sick, you must learn to roar, and only by calling out can you wake up when you are sick." ”
