Originally perfect, the ending is downgraded, let's see how I adapt it

#Originally was a very humorous and humanistic light comedy, and finally turned into a romantic love story. This ending made me a little uncomfortable. #All

along, I like foreign films with playful, humorous and witty dialogues. This is basically invisible in domestic films. The dialogue of domestic films regards vulgarity as funny, it can be said that it is neither funny nor vulgar.

The dialogue between the tongue-in-cheek writer, gay painter, and sharp-toothed waitress in the film is wonderful. Especially the part where the painter encouraged the writer not to waste time and to confess it tonight made me laugh out loud. It's really rare.

The plot is suspenseful, lighthearted, and witty, the characters are not masquerading, and the performances are delicate and superb. That's why it won the award. However, in the middle of the film, when the writer found a good doctor for the waitress's child and paid for the expensive medical bills, everything turned sour. "What do you say about relationships that are not based on equal relationships? It's a bit cheap."

What the writer meant was that he hoped the waitress could come to work. ------Because the child is cured, the waitress doesn't have to ask for leave all the time. If it keeps going like this, I still like it.
But in the end, she acted and became a waitress. Because the writer paid for the child's medical bills and liked her, she even fell in love with him. This is really unconvincing. (Another less convincing thing is that the writer let the painter live in his apartment. As someone with cleanliness and obsessive-compulsive disorder, how can it change so quickly? You can say it is because of the power of love, for me, It 's still a bit abrupt)

After it's turned into a love story, this movie is vulgar. Because you don't find that the male writer is the same age as the waitress' mother and looks more compatible? This is clearly love bought with money.

How to adapt it?
1. They did not fall in love, but became very good friends. With the help of the hostess and the painter, in the nourishment of friendship, the writer gradually relieved the reaction of obsessive-compulsive disorder and became more easy-going.
He went from a lonely, annoying old man to a happy author with lots of friends and friendships, which led to another bestseller. Or having the mama waitress and the writer have some phone calls at the end, which would be nice too. Will the style of this film be a little higher? The pattern is bigger and less narrow?

2, ok, if you insist on falling in love. Well, first, bring the writers and waitresses closer in age. Second, some of the waitresses have secretly developed a favorable impression of the writer in advance.

    This script uses external descriptions as the villain of internal actions. The biggest obstacle has become his own work of thinking about which external motivating events and actions the characters respond to, then it turns into what the characters did in the process of confronting themselves. "Things with ignorance" The motivational event or motivation is not important. What he did does not matter what he did. Compared with his step-by-step transformation, those efforts he made were just the icing on the cake to fight against himself. It already contains a kind of essential drama, but it is only implied in the story. It can be said that there is no story. All work serves the character. Although the character does not make many dramatic and major reactions, the audience is still convinced by the character and his efforts. The audience knows these people all the way to the end

    What he showed is typical Narcissistic Personality Disorder (narcissistic personality disorder). Please don't add very layman's vocabulary..
