"Can't write and write hard" | The secret list of the secret when the screenwriter cannot write

"Twelve Laws of the screenwriter" real shot picture

A while ago, I was working in the unit. A screenwriter friend came to me.

This friend is not very old, with a beard, writing the script for two years, and he weighs rising. It is said that it is sad. We all call him Uncle Li.

Uncle Li said in WeChat that he was panicked. He wanted to ask me to drink coffee and talk by the way.

I said I was busy compiling the manuscript, how can I have time to chat with you.

He said no, he was worried about not talking. I said that when you break at noon, come to our unit's gate, don't take up my working hours. I please.

He was riding a car, and the dust came, and the mask was picked, and it turned out to be sad.

I took him to the unit next to the unit.

I opened a playful sister Lin, and the screenwriter opened a cold eyebrow to Lu Xun.

Uncle Li had to change with me, saying that his brows were tight enough, and he didn't want to worry about it.

I said I do n’t do it, and I ’m also writing a book. I do n’t want to read Teacher Lu’ s eyebrows. There are so many people in your writing.

We sat on the steps of the supply and marketing agency, while drinking coffee while blowing the wind.

I asked him what happened.

He said he was engaged in a script of a big online movie and stuck.

I do n’t know how many screenwriters will be opened. After spending many nights, I can sing a death metal in my smoking throat. Just can't write it.

I said I am not a screenwriter, what can you do if you find me.

He said: Haven't you ever compiled some movie books before? Of course, it is not that you really want you to solve me, that is, to solve the stuffy, what kind of idea did you give me when you talk nonsense.

I sighed and said that there was a word of Lu Xun's nine -character mantra to give you.

What?

"Don't write hard when you can't write."

He said, don't be nonsense, Lu Xun can say this?

I got up and ran back to the cultural and creative coffee supply and marketing cooperatives. I bought a fan produced by the "Treasure of Humanities" in it. I walked to the door and handed it to Uncle Li and said it was given to you.

Uncle Li said, I have air conditioners in my family, what do you do for me.

I said you opened it. He opened, and Lu Xun's handwriting was printed on the fan:

Don't write hard when you can't write.

Uncle Li's eyes stared like a copper bell: Teacher Lu really said that.

I said, if you take it home, maybe you may write it out. Tell me about your script card?

He said: This script is now the first draft, and I only write half, and now it is more than 20,000 words! But this network is scheduled for 80 minutes, and it cannot exceed one and a half hours. If you write this way, the network is going to change the drama.

I said: Is this normal? If your first draft is written, you don't need to be anxious. The end of the world will not come, and the empire will not collapse. It's over. The so -called modification is to change half of it, so the final word number will definitely be reduced.

Uncle Li said: It makes sense. When it comes to modification, I am even more angry. Last week, one day, the script will be opened until the night. A investor may have smoked too much. Otherwise, if you just drink fake foreign wine, your brain is stumped, and you have to change a character setting.

My waves are not shocked: it is not very common to change the script phase. I have seen your kind of script. Every time I open my mouth a lot, it is not controlled by my brain in the end. All the comments can come out.

Uncle Li is anxious: You don't know, we have a key figure in our play. At first, it was set by the general manager, and now it must be changed to "sand sculpture".

I just took a sip of coffee and almost didn't spit it out. But I quickly recovered.

I said, don't worry. After all, it is the father of the Golden Lord. The brain circuit is different from others.

I continue to follow the temptation: Don't be anxious, relax. When there are major changes in the script, don't rush down, change the outline first. You say you are stuck, and I think that even if the father of the Golden Lord does not mention the opinion, you have to modify it, so you might as well write the new solution of the father of the Golden Lord first to write the script outline with other places to be changed. See if it is done. Before the script has not been written, the change plan will come from scratch.

Uncle Li said: Okay, I actually know what you said. Then I go back and change. Anyway, taking people's money and writing for others ... But the most anxious thing I am most anxious is actually this ...

I am a little annoying: How do you have so many things.

Uncle Li took a sip of coffee and said: You know me, I am Virgo. I feel that my lines are always not written enough.

I said: Let yourself be imperfect. No matter how good the screenwriter you are, you can't be perfect at first manuscript. In particular, you just started writing. You haven't really found the character's own tone in the script. It is impossible to write perfectly. The rough at first is the norm. Moreover, rough is also an efficient method.

Uncle Li's face was confused: How do you say this?

I explain: At this stage, the key is to put up the draft of the script and let each scene play the function of the story structure. This includes the role of the dialogue to play its own role. Anyway, you will modify all the content of the color.

Uncle the screenwriter looked suddenly. Then there was a deep doubt: you don't have a screenwriter, why do you know so much?

I said: Hi, I just compiled a "Twelve Laws of the screenwriter" recently. There is exactly a section in the book. The title is "the secret of the secret when you can't write". Essence He said: Why don't you send me such a good book?

I said: Haven't you been a screenwriter for two years? The 12 rules mentioned in this book are all practical guidelines, plot structure, character creation, how to write outlines, everything has been said, and has a good guiding role in the screenwriter who wants to enter the industry. I wondered that you have been in the circle for so long. I will show you this initial guide, and you will feel that I look down on you.

He said: Don't pull it, I think you are reluctant to edit the sample, and find me a copy. I also read a lot of screenwriter books, but this book is so clear and so comprehensive. I have to use it as a head book, check the lack of missing, and make a reminder when it is stuck.

After I was delivered earlier, I took him to the reader service department in the society and bought it for him.

After a while, I asked Uncle Li's script.

He said that he had provided Mr. Lu Xun's "fan" on the desk and took me a photo.

He said that the fan was really effective, and bless him as a god, and quickly finished writing the first draft.

There is the "Twelve Laws of the screenwriter" next to the fan, which has rolled up.
