Chapter two hundred and ninety-two lines screenwriter
"The dialogue in the script is not everyday language, it should be an enhanced version of everyday language."
"Ambiguities, exaggerations, meaningless repetitions, loose tenses, etc. that may arise in daily language should all be removed or corrected in dialogue."
"Dialogue stimulates the audience most directly. It needs to be generated from the character, the situation and the conflict, reveal or enrich the character and push the story forward. Every sentence should be necessary, or in other words, every sentence should sound appropriate.
Even energetic.”
"Otherwise, this is the main reason why the script was shot."
Qianhara Rinto took a half-finished script to Er Qian Shengzi and told it very seriously. Originally, he planned to let Shengzi come to Kanto to join the gilding. After arriving, he could just find a crew to let her go, but something happened.
Due to the mistake, the Holy Son suffered greatly, which made Qianhara Rinto feel embarrassed, so he simply kept her by his side and gave her some advice when nothing happened, which was considered a kind of compensation for her.
After all, the Holy Son suffered a loss in his territory. Although the Holy Son has a soft character and doesn't care about it, he thinks it's better to be more careful with his friends. At least he can't let his friends suffer in vain. He doesn't have many friends, so he must cherish them!
The Holy Son nodded repeatedly and asked shyly: "Is this why there is a separate line writer in the creative team?"
"Yes, condensing dialogue and lines can raise the level of the script by several levels, which is very important."
"Then how can I write good dialogue?"
Qianyuan Rinto knew everything and said with a smile: "This is complicated to say."
"For example, if you cover up the character's name, can you tell who is speaking? This is one of the simplest judgment criteria. If not, there is a high probability that the lines will not be qualified; for example, how to leave room for the actors to perform? The actors or
Directors sometimes have their own ideas, and sometimes they should leave room for them; for example, what form should they use? Should they use voiceovers, should they use rubber duck monologues..."
"Huh? Well, each character should have his own characteristics when speaking. Different ages, origins, and education levels should be reflected in the lines."
"Here, look at this script. This is what the screenwriter has refined. Look here, one line has been written in five different ways. This is to give you a choice during filming... Yes, many times we do it as
The screenwriter doesn’t know how the results will turn out, so he simply writes them all down, and then lets the director and actors try them out during filming, weeding out the ones with poor results and retaining the ones with the best results.”
"Voiceover? Voiceover has extraordinary guiding properties. If used well, it can greatly enhance the style of the drama. But if used incorrectly, it can easily throw the audience off. Therefore, if it is not necessary, we will generally be cautious when filming commercial TV dramas.
When using voice-over, if you really need to foreshadow or explain something, it is safer to try to add it to the normal dialogue.”
"Yes, don't make mistakes first, and then pursue better results. This is what commercial TV dramas should pay special attention to..."
Rinto Chihara spoke in detail and answered questions. Tomohisa Mita stretched out his ears to eavesdrop from a distance while working, and tears of envy were about to flow out.
As Chihara Rinto's assistant, he would ask Chihara Rinto questions. Although Chihara Rinto could answer questions according to his character, he would never talk about it from the beginning or explain it in such detail because he was too busy.
And this opportunity is rare...
Screenwriting is an industry that requires a lot of experience. You need to keep trying and making mistakes and learning lessons. Even if it is just some seemingly insignificant experience, you don’t know when it will be used. Therefore, if you make a mistake, you may inexplicably lose your ratings or even make you lose money.
The show completely collapsed.
This situation is somewhat similar to the medical profession.
When amputation surgery first began, a record of three people died in one amputation surgery. The patient died, the assistant died, and the doctor also died. But today, most patients can survive the same surgery.
Why? Generations of doctors and patients have learned their lessons through repeated trial and error in their lives, just like the screenwriters will discard one drama after another, burning a large amount of budget in vain and gaining experience.
Of course, the situation in the screenwriting industry is not that serious and no one will die, but every serious TV series must mobilize at least dozens of people to work and invest more than 100 million yen. No one can fail easily. The first one has no ratings and loses everything.
Chaotian may be able to get a second chance, but it still fails the second time. No one in this industry will give it a third chance.
Therefore, even a small amount of experience may be summed up after ruining the careers of several creators. It is a lesson gained with a lot of tears and hard work!
There is only one career for everyone, and it is almost the same as fate.
To be honest, if a creative person like Chihara Rinto, who has a brilliant record, is willing to talk about his creative experience in detail, and is willing to answer all questions, and offers a price of 100,000 yen for a class, it is an understatement to say that this big office will be filled up in a blink of an eye.
, maybe because there were so many people, they could squeeze out even Chihara Rinto’s intestines.
Tomohisa Mita is so envious that he is about to shed tears. How come I don’t have this personal relationship with Teacher Qianhara? If I have this personal relationship, with careful teaching, I will at least be a bully in the future!
Seiko is a little stupid, but she also knows that the opportunity is rare. She listens very attentively and takes notes carefully. When she is ready to go back and ponder over it, she gives her idol personal guidance. She wishes she could read every word Qianhara Rinto said.
Copy it.
When there was no problem for the time being, she bowed deeply for more than five seconds, her long hair hanging straight like a waterfall: "Thank you, Teacher Qianyuan."
"You're welcome." Qianhara Rinto smiled slightly. He had always had a very good impression of the honest son of the Holy Son. After saying something polite, he asked, "Why are you suddenly interested in dialogue?"
"I used my free time to read the finalized script. I checked for errors during working hours and didn't waste working time." Shengzi quickly explained that she is now an assistant screenwriter on the crew of "Oji", and her main job is
That means correcting typos and incorrect sentences, helping to look up information, and serving tea.
She was a little worried about getting negative comments such as "too ambitious" and "not attentive", but Qianhara Rinto didn't care, Seiko's current level was not enough for others, and without her it would not affect the normal operation of the work, and he could do whatever he liked.
It doesn't matter.
He shook his head and smiled: "It's a good thing to read the script. Don't be nervous. I'm just wondering why you suddenly started to pay attention to the dialogue. Your current job doesn't involve refining lines, right?"
Shengzi said shyly: "I'm stupid, not creative, and can't write good stories. Later, I saw Teacher Shichijo changing his lines and imitating the characters to recite them repeatedly. I thought it was very interesting, and I thought..."
"You just want to develop into script writer?"
The Holy Son said with a guilty conscience: "Yes."
"Line writer?" Chihara Rinto hesitated for a moment and asked seriously: "I know you always thought you wanted to work as a screenwriter, but you have been interning at a TV station for a long time. Do you still plan to do this now?"
As he spoke, he pointed outside the office. Even after dinner time, the lights were still bright. "This industry has a lot of mental pressure, long working hours, and overtime is the norm. If you really choose, it will have a great impact on your life, and you need to sacrifice many beautiful things."
, are you really mentally prepared?"
As the saying goes, if you persuade someone to study medicine, you will be struck by lightning. In his opinion, if you persuade someone to "pick cakes from the road", even if it is not that serious, at least it should be divided into five pieces.
It is common for doctors to work for 20 or 30 hours continuously, sometimes sleeping in the hospital, and working overtime is not a problem. If there are patients in need of emergency treatment in the middle of the night, can they be lazy and not go?
Can a doctor speak 996? Especially for young doctors, 007 is almost the same...
Screenwriters are in a similar situation. Although they are not as great as doctors and involve life-threatening matters, they are aired regularly every week and the time is stuck there. Do they go home without finishing the script or failing it? The billions of yen invested in the TV series,
What to do with hundreds of millions of yen in funds? What to do with the expectations of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of viewers?
Talk about working from 9 to 5, and then make shoddy work?
The audience will use remote controls to vote, instantly teaching the screenwriter and even the entire crew how to behave.
What's more, patients often have very good attitudes towards doctors, but viewers often have very bad attitudes towards TV program producers. It's common to yell at them, or even write a letter or call the TV station to criticize them, which can leave a psychological shadow on the screenwriter.
Even if Seiko wants to be a screenwriter, Chihara Rinto still wants to ask: You still have so many great choices, do you really have to do this?
But Shengzi was very determined and said seriously: "Yes, Teacher Qianyuan, I want to be a screenwriter!"
Qianhara Rinto looked at the determined expression on her little face and burst into laughter.
Yes, dreams are as important as Mount Tai. Even after he was struck by lightning, even though he knew that this industry mainly produces unlucky people, he still chose this industry without the stupid system. He would still produce TV programs. This was his decision when he was in junior high school.
We have been working hard for this goal for more than ten years!
In fact, this will always be his first goal in life.
He smiled happily, but the Holy Son became uneasy and asked uneasily: "Does Teacher Qianyuan think I'm not good? Am I overestimating my abilities?"
Qianhara Rinto came back to his senses and smiled: "No, I don't mean that. Of course, whether it works or not depends on you, but I support you to try and pursue your dreams."
Shengzi breathed a big sigh of relief and asked carefully: "Then what do you think of my goal of writing scripts? I can't write good stories, but I can observe more the way different people speak and analyze more people's speech.
If you accumulate more psychological activities, you may be able to write some good lines, become a good line writer, help thousands... and add luster to the script."
This goal seems pretty good and quite realistic...
Qianhara Rinto was sure that Seiko really wanted to do this, and he was really interested in it. He held his chin and began to carefully consider career plans for Seiko.
Most of the time, the status of line writers in the creative team is higher than that of episode writers. They are just under the chief creative writers. Although they have little autonomy, their career prospects are okay. The Holy Son is just cold on the surface, but in fact he is as soft as a little lamb. Look
She doesn't look like she can handle pressure, so not being the main creator doesn't seem to be a bad thing for her.
Of course, it would be better to be the chief creative writer, but Shengzi doesn't seem to be that type of material, so becoming a line writer might be her best career goal.
Qianhara Rinto thought there was nothing wrong with it and smiled: "I think it's good, it's very practical."
The Holy Son was very happy to receive the approval of his idol, and nodded vigorously: "I think so too. I know that I don't have the innate talent of Teacher Qianyuan, and it is impossible to achieve such dazzling results as you, but I want to... send it to the moon, even if
Even if I can't reach the moon, I can still be among the stars. If I can be among the stars, a person like me is satisfied."
She mustered up the courage to say this. She looked at Qianhara Rinto without blinking with her big eyes. When she saw that Qianhara Rinto was the person who wanted to become the moon, then as long as she could stand among the stars and look at him,
That's it, or he can use more force to shine a faint light to make the moonlight even brighter.
But Chihara Rinto didn't hear it. In his eyes, Seiko was just a little girl. The child he met when he first came to this world was cute and cute. There was nothing else. He didn't even think that it was him.
fans.
On the contrary, he focused all his attention on the words of the Holy Son. He tasted them carefully and found that they tasted a little bit. Say goodbye. Literary girls may change their profession to scriptwriters. I may not be able to do it. These little girls like to pick out words when they have nothing to do.
Sighing frost can also be regarded as some kind of accumulation.
He felt a bit hopeful and encouraged: "Don't be so pessimistic. When you stand among the stars, you may be able to see the road to the moon. I hope you can make achievements!"
"Yes, I will work hard, Teacher Qianyuan!" Shengzi was very happy and bowed vigorously again, "I will definitely work hard and work hard again, and I will not let you down."
"come on!"
Qianhara Rinto said with a smile again, looked at the time and prepared to get off work, that is, go home and hug Ningzi to sleep. He stayed at the TV station these two days to repair the news department. It was a rare opportunity, so he couldn't
I missed the opportunity to go home and hug my beauty.
But at this time, the office door was pushed open. Murakami Iori stood at the door and smiled: "Qianhara, do you have time? I want to discuss something with you."
