Writing and commentary for novels, movies, and scriptsThe creation of a novel or movie script mainly included the following aspects:
** I. Story Condensation and Synoptic Introduction **
1. ** The importance of the storyline **
- For a screenplay adapted from a novel, the story outline was the key. Especially when dealing with well-known novels, it was necessary to condense the story and refine it carefully. In this process, the creator might discover more story content.
- There were many ways to summarize the most influential parts of the story, such as creating a beat chart, outlining the arcs of different characters, and dividing the outline into sections to reflect the structure of the story. Through this method, it would help to determine the structure of the movie.
- After completing the outline, he could think about the key elements, characters, scenes, and theme based on his familiarity with the story, and then filter out the parts that needed to be adapted.
2. ** Based on the characteristics of the story, determine the adaptation method **
- He had to consider the length and structure of the story. Some stories were suitable to be condensed into 90 - 120 pages of screenplay, which could attract audiences within a limited space. Such stories were suitable for film adaptation.
- Some novels were rich and comprehensive, and it was difficult to show them in two hours. For such stories, it might be necessary to separate the plot. For example, like Lord of the Rings, it could be considered to be made into multiple movies or adapted into a TV series.
- If the story had a rich real world and provided the possibility of multiple story arcs, it would be more suitable for adaptation into a TV series. This way, it could keep returning to the same background and characters.
** 2. Form the outline of the story **
1. ** Analyzing the structure and elements of the story **
- After getting the outline of the story, he had to further analyze the outline of the story. For example, whether the story has a natural three-act structure (suitable for movies), whether it is a story that unfolds in multiple parts (such as a trilogy), or whether the story world has infinite possibilities (suitable for TV series).
- He had to pay attention to where the peak of the story arc was, how it was achieved, whether the story only revolved around the protagonist, whether the supporting characters had their own arcs, the cause and effect relationship in the story, and how the theme was handled. The outline of the adapted script had to be suitable for the original story.
** 3. Maintain the relationship with the original work **
1. ** The importance of following the original work **
- In the creation of a novel or movie script, the relationship with the original work was an important consideration. Some viewers and film critics preferred to follow the original adaptation. If the adaptation deviated too far from the original, it might affect the reputation of the work. For example, the adaptation of Murder Before Halloween in Venice. Although the screenwriter had some ability and wrote a doujin novel similar to the old lady's style, the movie was not highly rated because of the deviation from the original plot.
2. ** The balance between innovation and the original work **
- Of course, it wasn't that they couldn't create anything new. On the basis of not departing from the essence of the original work, some innovation could be made, such as changing the background of the story to increase the atmosphere or commercial appeal, but the balance between innovation and compliance with the original work must be grasped.

An Analysis of Writing Techniques and Methods for Fictions and MoviesThe following are some techniques and methods for writing a novel or movie script:
** 1. Story construction **
1. ** Story outline and outline **
- The story outline was crucial. It was the key to condensing the story. With the story outline, he could predict the rough appearance of the adapted script and further form the outline of the story.
2. ** Find the main conflict **
- The conflict was a key part of the play. Find the conflict that runs through the story, including the protagonist's conflict, and think about whether the conflict is convincing, whether it can be overcome more realistically, and whether there is a satisfactory theme conflict. For a script adapted from a novel, since the novel might be longer, reducing the main conflict of the story to one or two sentences would help you better understand the purpose and form of the book adaptation into a movie. In the process, you have to remember the key elements of creating the outline, namely the power of the protagonist, the goal, and the opponent.
3. ** Externalized, internal **
- The novel focused on the inner thoughts of the characters and the expression of their lives. This was its intrinsic quality. However, in scriptwriting, these inner things needed to be made external.
** 2. Character Creation **
- In scriptwriting, it was very important for the characters to decide to fight for the main character's needs. The characters had to ignore conflicts and objections and use opportunities to continue pursuing their overall needs.
** 3. Writing content **
1. ** Increase the sense of image (inspiration for novel creation and suitable for screenwriting)**
- You can use the first action plus details. The second action was to add five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch). The third method was to add tags to the description to increase the sense of the picture.
2. ** The difference between a script and a novel **
- There were similarities between a script and a novel, but a script lacked a lot of epithets and the psychological activities of the characters. However, as long as the content was good, there would not be too many restrictions in the creation of the script. From ancient times to the present, it could become good story material in all aspects. The essence of a good story was to combine positive energy with other elements to create a dramatic conflict.
3. ** From the story to the adaptation of the script **
- He could adapt a real story or a novel into a script. He could delete the illogical parts of the book or the parts that he found unpleasant to the eye. Then, he could add in the dramatic conflicts and elements that he was good at, such as funny elements.
** 4. Form (for scripts)**
- The title page should be correct and neat. The title should be in large font, with an underlining in the middle, about three inches from the top of the page. In the lower right corner of the title, write your name, address, city, province, zip code, and phone number in single space.

Little joy, Qiao family's children
If you look at it carefully, it really gives people a different taste.
I don't like watching TV dramas

At first, it was also because I liked the plot of Yu Huanshui's outburst on the Internet.

10:"The Counterattack of the Villain in the Movie World"🌹👍🌶️
"Ancestor, stop. There are dragons outside."
From transmigrating to Guan Zu in New Police Story, to dealing with Chen Guorong, to transmigrating to the East Star Crow in Young and Dangerous, to changing his fate to cover the sky with one hand…
One villain after another had a completely different fate after being replaced by Wu Yan.
"Who said that the villain is destined to be defeated by the protagonist?"
11:"Changes in the Heavens of Movies and Television": It's good. The first volume is not as interesting, but the rest is very good.
12:"The Hundred Tastes of Life in the Heavens": The story of transmigration. The protagonist is a promising young man. He has strength and brains. It looks very cool. I recommend you to start!
"Chief Life Experience Officer":"Book Friend's Suggestion": A Level 5, cute, and handsome new book. The main content was that the protagonist had insomnia named after him at the beginning of the game, and his life soon came to an end. At this moment, he obtained the system, which allowed him to transmigrate into the movie world. Through experiencing the life in the movie and carrying out specific missions, he could obtain the extension of his life...
Meng Jun was also an old author, but unfortunately, his previous book,"Dragon City Speaker," was forced to be TJ because it crossed the line. In this book, he took the path of film and television. The first world he entered was the recently released movie,"Over the Cliff." As for the content, I would say that overall, if you have a certain degree of poison resistance, it will indeed attract you to continue reading. In terms of overall rhythm, there would be a refreshing point after a few chapters, and it was very "straightforward" to attract you to continue reading. However, the main character's actions at times were indeed a little mysterious. He almost persuaded me to quit. The most "poisonous" point was probably the main character's attempt to increase sales by copying Gu Long's novels in the "semi-official" newspaper he worked for. If you can bear with this, maybe this will be a very good novel. Everyone can try it out ~

I thought it was just food and fodder, but the second world was nonsense. I completely let myself go. I did whatever I wanted. What the country couldn't do, I did it alone. The country needed money, money, people, and strength. Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, or the administration of the special zone. The protagonist didn't return to the main world and directly unified the world.
