Novel plays don't necessarily lead to good movies

Well, maybe this is really an attempt at play. However, this kind of exploration or breakthrough does not necessarily lead to a good movie. Compared to the author's film, author's film, stream of consciousness, etc., this film is not more new.
Nor is the concept of a model author, empirical author, or narrator new in fiction. Many writers in avant-garde novels use this model, and the author jumps out to have a dialogue with the characters... This is often the case in Ma Yuan's lesser stories.
When it comes to this film, it seems to express this form in the form of images. But I don't think it's very successful. If everything is fictional, where is the basis for fiction? Set the base point that Charlie is fiction, but not enough to express the fantasy world in the mind... I think so. The blunt turns seriously hurt the plot.
However, it is quite interesting for those who have studied drama, seeing McKee's public class. There's a lot of play-by-play rules in it that look extra funny in this movie.
Regarding the narration, I also feel that the narration is a bit too much.
