After reading these replies, Li Xiaole became depressed and couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: Damn! Where have all the masters with discernment gone? Blake Snyder's classic has been rated as nothing.

It’s worth it! The 105k compressed package he uploaded this article has less than 50 downloads. I really don’t understand what these Americans are doing!?

Li Xiaole reluctantly flipped through the posts on the first few pages of the screenwriter forum and saw many articles arguing about the script of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It turned out that there was an article about the best-selling author JK Rowling asking whether the script of the Harry Potter movie had been changed.

The reasonable post resulted in a war of words between Hollywood screenwriters and New York-based screenwriters.

Now, apart from this group of competitive screenwriters, the only ones that can be ranked on the first few pages are those posts by Hollywood celebrities such as Sheila Hanahan, the screenwriter of "American Pie", who are recruiting partners.

So that's the case. It's no wonder that no one paid attention to the academic articles of this unknown person. Li Xiaole couldn't help but feel a headache. Could it be that... he also wanted to use some tricks like those Internet traders?

Li Xiaole clicked on his own post and dragged the mouse pointlessly. He was hesitating whether he should risk hacking into the website and register a few more IDs to keep it at the top. But what he was worried about was that in professional websites like the United States, there was no such thing.

Upvoting content will only result in being locked by the administrator, which may result in more losses than gains.

While Li Xiaole was hesitating, he inadvertently noticed a somewhat familiar name on the screen. Among the guys who discussed "Alien" in his post, there was a registered ID named Gangster.

Wait, gangster?

The thorny gangster from the West Coast Writers Guild? Li Xiaole suddenly remembered it. He sat up and checked the registration time of this gangster. Sure enough, it was 1978. Most of the topics in the replies were about "Blade Runner"

”, “Alien” and “Strange Flowers”, these movies are unmistakable, he really is who he is.

Oh my god... Li Xiaole felt like he was dreaming. When he came back to his senses, his fingers were trembling with excitement. He was like an artistic young man who had been graffitiing on the street and suddenly saw Picasso. He really didn't expect that this master

It's such an honor that a person of this level would personally reply to this unknown person's post.

Li Xiaole suddenly became energetic, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he immediately realized that things were turning around. When dealing with a big shot like a gangster who could make a huge difference in Hollywood, of course you couldn't rely on a bunch of theories to convince him, you had to get some hard facts...

I'm sorry... Master Scott, I am also begging for food. I am offended. Li Xiaole thought silently in his heart and replied to this gangster separately under the post.

"Man, you must be an outsider. I dare say that the director of "Alien" Ridley Scott must have received the same inspiration after watching "Jaws". This type of haunted house, no matter where it is located,

Spaceships or seaside towns, as well as Disneyland with dinosaurs, are all composed of three key points: 1. powerful monsters, 2. closed houses, and 3. an original sin.

"Alien" is definitely a 100% imitation of classics like Jaws, and this classic can be copied, such as the great white shark turning into an alien, the seaside town turning into a spaceship, and the comparison and thoughts of officials who opened the beach for tourism revenue.

A company that wants to bring back alien creatures for research. Well, even the story beats are the same.”

After Li Xiaole replied, he took out the last pack of ramen from the cupboard, cut some green onions, boiled it in an electronic pot, and served it as dinner. After eating it slowly, he went back to the computer. Unexpectedly, he saw the high-spirited person.

The proud gangster's reply has already arrived.

"The rhythm of the story is the same? Do you want to say that the rhythm is the same when the good guy finally defeats the monster? Stop being funny, buddy, according to what you said, all commercial movies can be considered plagiarism."

Li Xiaole looked at it and couldn't help but feel a little happy. The big fish took the bait so quickly. He sat in front of the computer, took a deep breath, and started typing to start a debate with the other party:

"A ninety-minute story, three acts, fifteen rhythms of the movie, the theme is the discovery of a 'powerful monster' at the beginning, and then the protagonists hunt and kill them together after a dispute, and then the second act continues with the same old love story

After the plot, our "little alien" and "little white shark" were both killed. Don't you think this is the typical 'false victory' mentioned in my article? Is it a coincidence? All these haunted house plots, with my eyes closed, I

You can all guess what will happen.”

"These are just a few coincidences and cannot prove plagiarism at all!"

"Then how do you explain the next plot? Then the monsters are rampant, the aliens and the great white sharks also eat one partner after another. At the end of the second act, the two protagonists suddenly discover the conspiracy, ding dong~'Dark Night of the Soul' sequence, exactly the same

point in time.”

"What does this mean? Isn't this the case in dilemma design?"

"Okay, now you finally admit that the plots are similar, right? The crew members who were trapped in the cabin and learned that they were going to die, and the police chief who was waiting on the mast to be eaten by a great white shark, didn't their faces have the same words:

'I'm finished, God, please save me...'. I bet, if you change the background of these two shots, you can't tell who is who!"

During the two-hour online debate, every time the gangster who refused to admit defeat retorted, Li Xiaole wrote a long paragraph of analysis and explanation, and judged him mercilessly. In a man who was recognized as the "big brother" ten years later,

In front of the most authoritative film analysis system, no matter how talented you are and how prominent and authoritative your status is, you will have to surrender.

After a few rounds, anyone with a discerning eye will soon know the conclusion of this debate.

"Alien in 1979 and Jaws in 1975, two films that seemed to have completely different themes, turned out to be almost identical. Many scenes in the former are even suspected of plagiarizing from the latter."

Of course, their argument only aroused the attention of a small group of people. In this circle, many famous figures in real life commonly use vest accounts for convenience and in order to exchange information more freely.

Most of them know each other in real life. "Gangster" is one of the most famous figures. Many people in Hollywood know that his true identity is that he once directed "Alien" and "Blade Runner"

The legendary British director, Ridley Scott.

In the discussion about "Alien", the "gangster" was repaired by an unknown person? How is this possible? Some unreasonable people also joined in and left messages teasing the "gangster", which made many people who followed this post know.

Everyone laughed out loud at the computer.

An unknown person appeared out of nowhere and talked about the script of "Alien", making the masters of film art who directed it feel embarrassed. What could be more interesting than this?

As interesting as it is interesting, many people were surprised to discover the real value of this "Save the Cat" article written by a writer with strict logic. Unknowingly, they became deeply fascinated by this new and creative logical classification and couldn't extricate themselves.

They tried to incorporate all the different movies they knew into the system, and they were able to find patterns that fit within this system. This is simply unbelievable, so amazing...

Although no one said it, the same idea emerged in their hearts. Although there were still many immature aspects and the details needed to be discussed, they might be witnessing the birth of a brand new and great film classification system...

At the same time, in the bedroom of a Gothic villa in Bishop Road, London, a beautiful blonde girl in her twenties was sitting on a pink bed, angrily cursing at the computer: "****~

!Damn Asian guy~! You are just talking nonsense~!”

"Kelly, are you tampering with my computer again?" A British man with a beard and gray hair came in with a dissatisfied look on his face, carrying a plate of delicate chocolate biscuits.

"Ridley, I'm not moving!"

The blond girl tried to defend loudly: "There is a retarded man named H who is mocking you for plagiarizing your movie! I am protecting your dignity."

"Aren't you used to those irresponsible comments on the Internet?"

Ridley Scott smiled and pinched his irritable daughter's shoulder, looked at the computer screen, and was about to close it when he was suddenly attracted by the text on it and sat down unconsciously.

"interesting……"

Ridley Scott touched his chin and muttered to himself. The more he watched, the more he enjoyed it. After watching it for about half an hour, he couldn't help but muttered: "I didn't expect that my movie would have so many things in common with "Jaws"

...Ghost house type...Fifteen rhythm points..."

"Aren't you angry Ridley? Is he slandering you?" Kelly said strangely.

"kindness……"

Ridley Scott woke up from his meditation, holding his chin in a strange manner: "No, maybe he is right. To a certain extent, I copied the plot of "Jaws", although I didn't

Deliberately, but I did get some inspiration for film techniques from "Jaws", but I didn't summarize it in writing like this..."

Looking at his daughter with a disappointed face, Ridley Scott couldn't help but smile and comfort him: "Kelly, you don't need to feel wronged. This person must be a master screenwriter from MGM or Fox.

This article is so wonderful that it can be my teacher.”

"But all the IP addresses this guy posts are in South Korea! He is not American at all!" Kelly suppressed her blush and shouted while pointing at the computer screen.
Chapter completed!
