The male protagonist is a lawyer, has a family, has just been promoted, and has a bright future. One day, a farmer found the protagonist through his grandmother and asked him to help him in a lawsuit against a leading enterprise. The male protagonist thought he was crazy at first, but as he got to know more about it, he gradually discovered the seriousness of the matter, and decided to do his best for the case. After more than 20 years of hard work, the case has finally become clear.
The male protagonist disapproved of the case at first, but with the in-depth understanding, he finally decided to sacrifice everything for the case.
The heroine, that is, the wife of the male protagonist, deserves special attention. The heroine represents the family. The male role in modern society is usually the trinity of individual, family, and career. The male protagonist sacrifices his family for his career and conflicts with the female protagonist. After the first reconciliation, the relationship was not stable in nature. After the second conflict, the male protagonist collapsed, and the female protagonist re-reflected her position.
There is one more person, boss. Counterintuitively, the boss doesn't represent the business, it's the job - certainly not the job. From this perspective, the story essentially begins with the male protagonist discovering the dislocation of the true and false career. A once-disturbed story must find a new balance. Similar to the situation of the heroine, the boss also repositions himself according to the hero through two conflicts before and after (almost at the same time as the heroine). Interestingly, the final blow was the heroine's remarks. But this can only show that in this story, the family reacts faster than the work (this position can also be interpreted as a friend), while in other stories, this can be completely reversed, such as the boss accuses the heroine in turn. Completely make sense.
The structure of the story can be understood in this way. At the beginning, family and work constitute a line segment, and the male protagonist is the midpoint of the line segment.
The career that suddenly appeared, the third point, and the original two points formed a triangle, and the position of the male protagonist became the center of gravity of the triangle. If the male protagonist wants to move towards the apex of "career", he will definitely destroy the balance of the structure. In this story, the final compensation is that the remaining two points actively adjusted their positions.
This structure gives the impression that the male protagonist as the center of gravity has a strong initiative.
