5. Screenwriting

There are three elements for creating a script.

Conflicts, characters' language and stage description.

Among them, conflicts are the key to the script. Only when there is conflict can there be lows and nostalgia, and only when there is conflict can it drive the audience's emotions.

The character language is the soul of the script, which represents whether the character settings in the script are clear. Only the successful character language can make the characters have their soul and give the audience a sense of immersion.

The final stage description is an explanation of the overall script. The script does not require a sense of picture than a novel. The stage description is to tell the director this sense of picture so that the director can shoot the best shot based on the script.

The seemingly simple three elements are key points that some screenwriters cannot understand throughout their lives.

Ye Sumang, who had a fluttering thoughts, could easily grasp these three key points.

The story he wrote happened one night, a supermarket opens for 24 hours.

The introduction to the story, Ye Sumang designed it very cleverly, directly quoted the most popular topic at the moment - lottery.

You should know that now is the time when welfare lottery has entered the computerization and developed into a hot national popularity. Almost all ordinary people are buying lottery tickets and heading towards the legendary five million prize. So Ye Sumang also wants to take the craze of this craze.

With the background and cause, the next story will be much easier.

The conflict originated from a lottery ticket that was called wrong. He Sanshui, a lottery player who was supposed to win a 9,500 yuan bonus two months ago, lost the prize because the supermarket owner made a wrong number. In the past two months, He Sanshui repeatedly asked the boss for money, but was kept mocked. In anger, he took his stupid cousin Tire, who was also cheated, and made a weird decision, which was to 'rob' the supermarket and sell the goods to make up enough money.

The supermarket salesmen Tang Xiaolian and Li Junwei who were on duty that night, as well as his friend Zhu Liao, were innocently involved.

During the period when selling goods to make up money, many customers with different personalities came to the supermarket. Under He Sanshui's stubborn temper and unfamiliar business, many hilarious things happened between the collision. During this period, the people locked in the house did not give up the opportunity to escape, but always failed at the last moment.

After many ups and downs during this period, finally, when He Sanshui was about to make up 9,500 yuan, the biggest turning point of the whole movie appeared.

A real robber, holding a real pistol in his hand, pointed fiercely at everyone in the supermarket. The sublimation of the whole story happened after the appearance of the real robber. Everyone finally let go of their prejudices, worked together, and finally captured the robber with the help of the police.

The ending of the story is a happy ending, and everyone has their own happiness. Ye Sumang wrote the whole story in this supermarket, because everyone can enter the supermarket and everything will happen.

A friend who came to the supermarket to practice robbery for filming, a wealthy fan who called debt collection but looked like robbery, plus the final real robber, three groups of people who were fake and real, ultimately constituted this ridiculous story.

Ye Sumang was busy in front of the computer until the early morning before finally finishing the entire script.

The weather today is particularly clear, and it can be said that it is cloudless. The snow gradually melts, bringing out a bone-broken chill. It is said that "the spring is cold, and the young are frozen." What's more, Mr. Ye's old bones, which are just walking home from the film studio, made him show signs of his old cold legs going to repeat.

"Huh, Su Mang, why are you running to sleep here?" As soon as the old man entered the door, he saw his grandson sleeping on the computer desk, drooling. There were several marks pressed from the keyboard on his pretty little face. It was obvious that he had been sleeping for a long time.

The old man was very curious. After all, Ye Sumang is famous for his daily routine. He is afraid that he will not be able to stand it once a year when he lies at the computer desk.

With curiosity, the old man looked closer and found that the computer was still on, which was the interface of the document, and there were dozens of A4 sheets of paper on the printer next to him, covered with text.

The old man picked up the dozens of papers and looked at them a few times, and found that it turned out to be a script. He immediately looked at Ye Sumang curiously.

When did my grandson start a screenwriter again? And I am not busy with exams recently, so why do I still have time to write scripts?

With all kinds of questions in mind, the old man began to browse the content of the script in his hand. He read it very quickly, and almost swiped through it at a glance. He saw ten lines at a glance. In just over ten minutes, dozens of pieces of paper had been translated by the old man.

But then he did not let go, but looked from the beginning. This time he looked very seriously, almost without falling a word. As time passed, with the old man's happy laughter, three hours passed without realizing it, and Ye Sumang also woke up from the computer desk.

Because he was sleeping on the table, Ye Sumang, who had just woken up, felt his cervical spine was sore. When he turned his neck, he found that his grandfather was reading the script he had driven out last night with a happy look on his face.

"Grandpa, how is the script written?" Ye Sumang immediately moved a chair and sat opposite his grandfather, asking at the same time. However, although it was a question, Ye Sumang had a confident look on his face.

"It's very good, the camera is well written and detailed, and the story conflicts are assumptions are reasonable. Especially the character setting is very good, and everyone has their own characteristics and is quite distinct. The language dialogue is also very humorous. Is this really a script you wrote? You can use it directly to shoot a movie." Seeing his grandson wake up, Mr. Ye closed the script and smiled and praised.

"This is the success of your grandson's labor for one night." Ye Sumang did not be modest, but naturally accepted his grandfather's praise. He also felt that his script was very interesting.

"Then do you think it can be made into a movie?" Ye Sumang suddenly asked as his grandfather opened the script again.

"You want to make this script into a movie?"

Looking at Ye Sumang's look of expectation, Old Master Ye was surprised. He couldn't figure out why this child was so jumping. As soon as he wrote the script, he thought about making a movie.

I wanted to refuse it in one bite, but now he is already overwhelmed by the factory affairs, but he saw the unspeakable expectation in Ye Sumang's eyes. He swallowed the words he said.

It was this kind of look that made Mr. Ye fall into deep thought in an instant.

"Grandpa, why do everyone bully me? They even said that I am a wild child and have no parents. Where did my parents go?"

"Grandpa, the aunt outside said that I am the Sangmen Star, what is the Sangmen Star..."

"Grandpa, I want to be strong, I won't cry anymore..."

"Faced with the sunshine, the shadow is behind you. Grandpa, this sentence sounds so nice. I will always smile and face the sunshine in the future, so the shadow is far behind..."

The unhappiness of childhood did not defeat his grandson. Instead, a simple sentence made a boy who was only a few years old faced the troubles with a smile. The persistence contained in this moved Mr. Ye. This mature mentality also made him feel particularly sad. The family created Ye Sumang's precocious personality. He had no protection from his parents since he was a child, and the child's mind was growing several times faster than his peers.

My thoughts turned around. Seeing Ye Sumang's eyes still looking forward, Old Master Ye took a deep breath, looked at the script in his hand with appreciation, and made a decisive decision: "I'll take it to the factory today to see if any director is willing to take it."
