Author: Lost Dragon

Song Huanxi sat down in his seat, turned to look at the listless Wang Yu, and said with a smile: "Is this knocking you down? Think about it, if Qin Haoyang is the emperor, who is his brother?"

Wang Yu sat up immediately: "The dead emperor!"

Song Huanxi: "..."

She originally wanted to say that she was the loser in the battle for the throne, but boy, Wang Yu just arranged for her to die young!

Given a stick, this guy can go straight to the Lingxiao Palace! His surname is actually not Wang, but Sun!

Seeing that Wang Yu regained his composure, Song Huanxi ignored him, turned around, and sorted out her pen and paper. This was a good habit she had developed over the years as a top student:

No matter what class you listen to or what you learn, you must take good notes. You don’t have to record every word and sentence the teacher said. You must clearly remember the key points of the content.

For example, right now, there is a passage written in the notebook in front of her:

——The actress Lin Yu became famous through the role of Cui Cui in "Cui Cui".

——Note: "Cui Cui" is adapted from "Border Town" by Mr. Shen Congwen.

Song Huanxi was slightly entranced as she read these two paragraphs. What kind of work, after being adapted, could directly make an actress famous?

Let a little-known new actor become known to everyone on the streets——

Is this the magic of scripts?

In addition to money, the second motivation that makes Song Huanxi want to write an excellent script appears - a magical script can actually change an actor's destiny!

"Dangdangdang——"

The sound of the blackboard being knocked interrupted Song Huanxi's meditation. She raised her head and looked forward. A young man with very handsome features who looked somewhat similar to Qin Haoyang was standing in front of the podium.

He smiled and said: "From now on, I will teach everyone every afternoon."

"I know many of you must be wondering. You are obviously here to be actors, why do you still need to learn to write scripts?"

This screenwriter Qin Dao is really good at giving lectures and grabbed the students' attention right away.

"What I want to tell you is," Qin Dao turned around, grabbed a piece of chalk, and started writing on the blackboard. He first wrote 1, then 120, "A play has about 120 characters." minutes, and every minute is a page of script.”

"So, a 120-minute play should have a 120-page script!"

He quickly added a multiplication sign between 1 and 120, and directly listed an equation:

1(page script)X120(page)=120(minute movie)

The next second, he opened his arms and made two strokes, and an eye-catching big cross appeared on the formula he had just written, "Well, this kind of script is a Hollywood script production method, and we don't use it."

Song Huanxi: "..."

Why write it down if you don't have to? Fortunately, she carefully wrote down the equation on the blackboard in her notebook!

Qin Dao seemed to know what the students were thinking, and said directly: "Aren't you weird, since we don't use this mode, why do I still have to talk about it?"

"I just want to ask you one question. When I made the cross just now, were you shocked and surprised?"

Qin Dao talked eloquently: "Here we have to mention the first element of creating a script——"

“Unexpected!”

"The most exciting plot is the one you can't guess!"

Song Huanxi's eyes shone brightly, and she felt that every word written by screenwriter Qin was full of good words.

But, looking at the neatly written formulas copied in my notes, I can’t bear to erase them. Screenwriter Qin Dao also said just now that they are not used in Hong Kong Island, but are used in Hollywood!

Song Huanxi simply made a note of Hollywood at the back, and copied the 1X120 formula at the bottom again. Just like screenwriter Qin Dao, he drew a cross on the formula and wrote down the words "unexpected" next to it.

If so, when you look through your notes, you will think of today's scene.

Qin Dao continued: "Okay, now back to our original question, why do you, students, need to learn to write scripts——"

"Because," Qin Dao turned around and wrote four words on the blackboard again - work together!

"The scripts of Pei Brothers Pictures are the result of collective efforts!"

"When you write a script, the director can change it, the actors can change it, and even the boys working on the set can put it forward if they have good ideas. If everyone thinks it's OK, then they can change the script again."

Qin Dao looked at the students who were all confused and couldn't help but smile, "It seems that you students still don't understand what I mean."

"For example, a film called "Once Upon a Time in the Republic of China" was filmed not long ago. It tells the story of the protagonist Hu Hanchun, who went from abject poverty to fortune and then to abject poverty. In it, there was a character of a rickshaw driver who pulled the protagonist twice, once when he had just made a fortune, and once when he was in poverty.

Moved out of the mansion in despair."

"Normally speaking, the role of the rickshaw driver is finished after two scenes are shot. However, the actor who plays the rickshaw driver is very thoughtful."

Qin Dao spoke eloquently, and the students in the class listened with rapt attention: "He approached the director and said, Director, look, can we add a few more scenes?"

"For example, when the protagonist was very poor at the beginning, he saw a rickshaw driver enthusiastically soliciting customers and said that he wanted to take a walk, but in fact he was short of money. Then, the rickshaw driver secretly followed him and told it as a joke to his companions."

"Finally, the protagonist is so poor that he has no money to take a taxi. The rickshaw driver appears again. He offers to give the protagonist a ride for free. When he pulls the rickshaw, he tells the protagonist what he secretly followed him and told him as a joke.

——”

Qin Dao laughed: "The director thought this idea was very good, so he adopted it. Even the final ending used the fourth scene of pulling the cart——"

"With the encouragement of the rickshaw driver, the protagonist finally mustered up the courage to face life again."

"So do you understand?"

"As long as you can write a script, you can add drama to yourself!"

Swish, brush, brush!

The students in the training class, at this moment, all their eyes lit up——

Wonderful!

Can you still add drama to yourself?!

What actor doesn’t wish he had more roles?

Song Huanxi fell into deep thought. She vaguely felt that something was wrong. If everyone could change the script, would the story be a mess?

For another example, there are only 120 minutes in the film. If the rickshaw driver's role is increased, does that mean that other people's roles are reduced?

Her eyes unknowingly fell on the word "Border Town" on the notebook. Also, can this kind of script adapted from the original work be randomly modified?

Song Huanxi didn't think for a long time, because Qin Dao started talking about new knowledge again, and it was the knowledge she wanted to know and needed the most at the moment -

“Screenwriting!”

Qin Dao picked up the blackboard eraser, erased the four words "group effort", wrote four words again, and read it out loud.

Song Huanxi immediately became very energetic, and his pen and notebook were ready to go.

Is anyone watching? Ahem, it’s so cold.
