Zhou Cheng has never written a drama script, and even when he was in school before, he majored in film and television scripts rather than drama creation attributed to drama scripts.

Compared with film and television scripts, drama scripts are more visual and concrete.

Just as He Jiping once taught Zhou Cheng and them in the class he taught at Nortel, all drama literature is produced by relying on the author's interpretation of events, and a mature drama literature author has been paying attention to "events" and "actions" rather than whether the words are beautiful or not all his life.

Therefore, the script of the drama needs to grasp the "event" and "action" well, and all your lines, inner conflicts, and subtexts must have very clear action.

For example, if you want to show the night scene in a general way, in film and television dramas, you can show the entire night sky, the sky full of stars, a bright moon, a street lamp and even a few fireflies, and the audience will naturally understand that this is what happened at night.

This is not possible in a stage drama. Although the stage can be darkened by lighting, it can also make the audience unable to see the actors' movements clearly and lose their understanding of the play.

Therefore, the stage drama must show the events that were originally shown through the camera without traces in the lines or actions. This requires the playwright to have some deep experience in the creation of stage dramas.

Moreover, the movie script that Zhou Cheng gave to Chen Li was only a framework and some main line paragraphs, after all, he couldn't completely remember the entire plot of each play.

Sometimes on a plot that he can't remember clearly or seems unreasonable, Zhou Cheng has to add some details to make him rational.

That's why every movie script doesn't have a full 90-minute scene, but two hours or two and a half hours. After the filming is completed, the director and the editor will edit it into a 90-minute or 120-minute finished product according to the main outline of the script.

In order to consider the audience's concentration, a normal drama is mostly two to two and a half hours long, which also includes the time for the stage to change the background and the actors to change their costumes. If it is a play like "Teahouse", it is even more necessary to increase the time for the actors to put on makeup.

Therefore, the drama script must control this time limit, a complete drama script must be a complete finished product presented in front of the audience, which must consider the screenwriter's time control ability, which is why the adaptation of the drama script needs the director to participate in it, because the director needs to present the play completely in his mind, so as not to be in a hurry during the live performance.

These abilities are all lacking in Zhou Cheng, so he handed over this part of the work to Chen Li and Chu Ran, and his main work was put on the lines.

After a week of hard work, the first draft of the script was finally completed, and Zhou Cheng summarized the content that several people were responsible for, and then printed it out for proofreading.

In terms of the lines that Zhou Cheng was responsible for, he used a lot of stalks that would only appear after a few years or more than ten years, which made Chu Ran and Chen Li laugh together.

Chu Ran took the script and read: "'Zhou Tienan said: If there is no accident, it will be an accident. 'Brother Chen, do you think this is an accident or not? ”

"It must have been an accident." Chen Li smiled, pointed to another line and said to Chu Ran: "There is also this sentence that the principal said: 'I have eaten more rice than you have ever eaten salt, and I have walked more roads than you have walked on bridges. You don't think it's nonsense, but it works very well. ”

"I can only say that Zhou Cheng has been sullen in school for so many years, and he really sulked out of it." Chu Ran is sometimes amazed by Zhou Cheng's brain-opening, when he was in school before, Zhou Cheng was mostly silent and had little communication with others, but he didn't expect him to have such a funny side.

"You can't understand it, you can only say that your level is too low." Zhou Cheng said disdainfully: "You must know that this drama is a story dressed as a comedy, if there are no such jokes, how can the audience laugh, and how can they experience the core of the tragedy in laughter." ”

Chen Li said with some concern: "I was mainly worried that there were too many jokes in it, and in the end, when the playwrights in the theater were reviewing, they said that we were not rigorous, and then called us back." ”

Zhou Cheng pouted unconvinced: "Brother Li, I feel that you are worried about the comedy jokes on my side, so you might as well worry about the lines written by Chu Ran." ”

"What's wrong with what I wrote?" Chu Ran showed a puzzled gaze: "My lines are normal." ”

"Normal?" Zhou Cheng opened the script that had completed the first draft, and turned to a few pages of Zhang Yiman's lines: "'Are you hard everywhere, stick your tongue out and let my sister relax.'" 'Chu Ran, did you use the love words that Jiang Yan said to you? Aren't you afraid that this line will make those uncles wet? ”

"Zhou Cheng is right." Chen Li stood on Zhou Cheng's side again this time: "And this sentence 'I'll sleep him', is it too straightforward?" ”

"Brother Li, this is our drama, this is elegant art. Sometimes you have to have something vulgar in it. Isn't there a saying: Elegance is vulgarity, and vulgarity is also elegance. As long as it is vulgar to the extreme, it is elegant to natural. In this way, we can appreciate the elegance and the ......."

Chu Ran's set of crooked theories of "elegance and common appreciation" successfully persuaded Zhou Cheng and Chen Li, and several people had been busy in this dilapidated hotel for five days, and they were already annoyed. Now that the first draft of several people has come out, let's take it directly to the creative department of Renyi for review. If they really think there is a problem, then delete it and change it, anyway, Zhou Cheng has decided to use these lines in the movie script.

"FIRST Youth Film Festival" Zhou Cheng did not give up, in the past few days, he also sent the film script of this play to the organizing committee of the film exhibition in the form of an email, if it is really appreciated by the organizing committee to get the top three, there is at least 100,000 yuan of start-up funds, which is also a lot of income for Zhou Cheng now.

"Since they don't want to change, so be it." Chen Li said: "After so many busy days, it is finally over. And it's almost four o'clock, so we'll finish handing in later, find a place to have a drink or two, and celebrate together. ”

As soon as Chen Li's words fell, Chu Ran hurriedly said: "Brother Li, Zhou Cheng, you two celebrate, I'm a little ahead of schedule." ”

"What's more important to you than celebrating with your brothers?" Zhou Cheng blocked him in the room dissatisfied. At this time, Chu Ran's mobile phone rang again, Zhou Cheng glanced at him, and mocked him: "Didn't you Chu Ye never hang on a tree for a month?" You've been around this crooked-necked tree for almost two months. ”

Chu Ran smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, I've been with you two lords for five days, and I have an impulse to see donuts now, not to mention this charming beauty." ”

"Let's go, you're an animal dominated by the lower half of your body, I finally know how you kid wrote those lines." Zhou Cheng let go of the door, watched Chu Ran leave with his bag on his back, and said to his back, "Say hello to Jiang Yan for me." ”

Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Chu Ran directly stumbled, and then turned around and made an international gesture to Zhou Cheng.

Li Li's wish for a drink was still not fulfilled, and after Zhou Cheng accompanied him to hand over the script to the creative department, Zhou Cheng saw a silver golf under the door of the guest house.

Seeing Zhou Cheng come back, the window of the cab rolled down, revealing a pretty face.

"Brother Li, I won't accompany you at night, you can find a place to drink by yourself." After Zhou Cheng saw it, he only said one word to Li Li, then ran to the vehicle, pulled the co-pilot and sat in. Then the engine roared, and the smoke flew away.

"You melon baby, and you also say that Chu Ran is an animal dominated by the lower half of the body, and I think you are too." Li Li rushed to the back of the vehicle and also sat in an international gesture.

Li Li looked at the sunset, alone himself, and helplessly took out his mobile phone: "Wife, when are you coming to Yanjing......
