On the Birth of a Story: Idea Plot Interpretation

The film tells the story of a man who is deceived by a woman in love. A man searches for the truth in ignorance, and finally discovers the difficulties of a woman who has actually been influenced and died because of it. A man avenges a woman, and then Also choose to die for love.

Okay, after the overview is over, it is not difficult for those who have watched the show to find that my overview ignores many details, such as the sideline infatuated female, the Yingpu male who forcibly appeared on the scene, and a large group of mentally retarded villains. However, you cannot deny that my generalizations are relatively rough and accurate.

This is what I want to talk about today, how to use a sentence, even a sentence, a good idea, to deduce a wonderful (not counting this film) story. The following is an extended analysis based on this film:

First of all, the design of the idea, this idea must be exciting enough, if it is not exciting enough, it is mainstream enough. For example, this film praises the love between a lost woman and an innocent man. This idea is very mainstream, and it is easier to be accepted by the public. To quote the following circumstantial evidence: the core of the Red Mansions is a tragic story of a young man and many girls getting along for a long time; Water Margin is a story of officials forcing the people to rebel, then gathering righteousness to rebel, and then idiots surrendering; Three Kingdoms is a story of three brothers getting together in troubled times to commit a military rebellion. There are so many stories about the failure of fate to change, and it is not difficult to find that a brilliant novel can also be summed up in one sentence.

After the core is determined, some major ups and downs need to be designed, such as the insertion of the necessary villains in this film, as well as the addition of side plots and supporting roles that enrich the images of the hero and heroine. Looking at the circumstantial evidence, the comparison of Lin Xue in the Red House is more exciting, the continuous siege of the city in the Water Margin, the brotherhood and righteousness in the Three Kingdoms, and on the basis of how to enrich the influence of the protagonist, the plot can be extended accordingly.

Third, it is inevitable to intersperse some philosophical, or great love, or gentle, or dark, humorous, or dangerous words. The setting of these words is to satisfy the author's desire for expression, and the author needs to express some words through the works. own thoughts. No matter whether the author's thoughts are good or bad, the essence or the dross, in short, the author needs to express, and the author who has no desire to express is not the author. In addition, these topics constitute the author's writing style in silence.

Fourth, it is necessary to build a branch line with the main line. In many film and television dramas and literary works, too many creators make mistakes in the third link, that is, too much expression destroys the simplicity of the main line and the connection between the branch line and the main line. Once this kind of mistake is committed, the work will be reduced to second- or third-rate at light level, and the work will be turned into spicy chicken in severe cases.

For example, Ying Pu Nan in this film, I suggest to delete all the plots about Ying Pu Nan. The male protagonist does not need to find the whereabouts of Ying Pu Nan and the female protagonist, which is too stupid. The villain man doesn't need Yingpu man to disfigure him, oh my god, if I'm a socialist, I'll kill me if I don't keep my mouth shut In my memory, this contradicts the "Don't die" propagandized by the bitter girl in the plot and the tune of the core setting of propagating great love! ! ! Without this plot, the male protagonist also chose or was forced to choose to recall the death because of the female protagonist's death, so that the side plots perfectly combined the main plot, right? ? ?

If there is circumstantial evidence, the Red Chamber will not provide evidence. Because of its literary status in China, there are still many people who believe that a single word is not easy, and a sentence cannot be deleted. I do not want to provoke bad luck. From the perspective of structure, there are various metaphors in the Red House, how the fate of children reflects the reality of society, and how ingenious the expression and structure of words are. I call these kinds of flesh and blood.

Speaking from the Water Margin, I have no objection to the design of the gods and monsters in the book. Based on the social background at that time, I would think that it was a good choice for the interpretation of Article 2, because the society at that time and the people at that time believed this and joined the These settings can help the work gain public recognition. But I think that Song Jiang's group's death setting is wrong. Because of the tragic style of the first setting, they can choose to let them die outnumbered. Of course, another view is that dying really established the tragic color of the book, the servile manifestation of human nature in the society at that time. However, if it is a commercial film and a best-selling book, such a choice would be a disaster, and it would give too much hope to the public's aesthetic taste.

Finally, there are still Three Kingdoms that didn't complain, right, haha, I don't dare to complain about this, what frequent geographical errors, stereotyped drama wars, many supporters, and the law does not blame the public.

The last line of the deductive method is the finishing touch. Generally speaking, the ending must echo the core, and the specific presentation of the core is emphasized again at the end, which can remind the audience to jump out of the previous branch line and follow the ending to return to the purification of the core. The active or passive memory of the male protagonist of the film until his death is a good core echo. If the film has a core setting, and the core setting is love, the ending is very good to move back to the core values ​​of the film, and make a strong response. The circumstantial evidence is the beginning of the Red Mansion, the beginning of the Red Mansion is the end, and it begins with an obscure ending. This kind of text structure should not be learned by ordinary people. It is quite difficult and will affect the subsequent expansion of the plot. On the other hand, Water Margin's respective sacrifices are very consistent with the core setting. Sadness, death is the easiest way to express sadness.

In fact, there are many ways to create. The idea deduction method is more suitable for having an idea first, and then expanding the type of creation based on the idea. This is a bit like a propositional composition. Some creators' creations will change the core settings as the plot expands. In this case, either a genius or a masterpiece, or it will be messy and unintelligible.

    Thanks Daniel Wu. For a long time, everyone has mixed English with Chinese, and finally some people have put Chinese in English.

    I saw a future where Chinese penetrates into English ( ̄▽ ̄) (Actually, I thought it was quite natural, so I understood it by default) what is it with people finding the English accent attractive ( ̄▽ ̄) and why the Westworld flashbacks ( ̄▽ ̄ ) is still more effective though the love story of goosebumps fanned a bit

Reminiscence quotes

  • Emily 'Watts' Sanders: The problem with going dry is the mind is clear. But the hands... they shake.

  • Nick Bannister: The past can haunt a man. That's what they say. That the past is just a series of moments. Each one perfect. Complete. A bead on the necklace of time. The past doesn't haunt us. Wouldn't even recognize us. If there are ghosts to be found, it's us who haunt the past. We haunt it, so we can look again. See the people we miss, and the things we missed about them.
