The story structure model of "The Proud Horse"

Sometimes I think that all living things have a structure and an inherent law (the more than ten basic "quantum" elements of the universe form the current structure through arrangement, combination, and iteration. "world"). Of course, in the universe and in the space we live in, various structural patterns (life) are crisscrossed and everywhere. Just like the 26 letters, they form a "universe" of meaning and communication. There are various "lives" created by predecessors, as well as other infinite new lives that we can explore and innovate (through permutations, combinations, and iterations). Depending on our level of cognition, there are things we can see, things we can’t see, and things we can’t see (recognize or not. Just like seeing the same thing, everyone sees different things).

Xu Rongzhe's "Story Lesson" summarizes the story structure into a formula: 1. Goal→2. Obstacle→3. Work hard → 4. Result→5. Accident→6. Turn→7. ending. In fact, it is not as easy to remember and understand as the "starting, inheritance and transfer" summarized in our middle school Chinese class. Of course, "inheritance and transfer" can produce several patterns through permutation, combination and iteration.

I watched a movie "The Proud Horse" in the morning, and now I will summarize it with "starting, inheriting and transferring".

"The Proud Horse" is an American feature film released in 2010. It tells the story of Penny, a housewife, who takes over a debt-ridden horse farm after her father's death and leads a team to turn a pony ("Hongxia" into a horse farm). ”, also known as “Secretariat”) was trained to be the best racehorse.

1. Beginning

At the beginning of the film, Penny and her family were having dinner when she received a call from her brother that her mother had passed away. Penny and her family rushed over the next day. My father is unconscious, and the horse farm he started from scratch is also suffering heavy losses.

2. Cheng

Brother decided to sell the racecourse, but Penny disagreed. Penny has partial rights to the racecourse. Because Penny has loved horses since she was a child, her father once said: "You can feel the voice of the horse with your hands." So the father left the rights to the racecourse to his son, and left the disposal of the horses to Penny.

Penny originally gave up her career to raise her children and became a full-time housewife. Now that her children are older, she decided to run her own horse farm.

She first brought in the collusive horse trainer (who sold the four racehorses she trained to the seller at half price and made a profit from it).

Based on the advice of his father's friend Hancock and his own research (he likes to collect information on horse racing failures), he hired Lucien as his horse trainer. There is a horse at her horse farm, a descendant of the former champion horse "The King", who can stand up as soon as he is born. She named it: Hongxia (later not allowed to be used in competitions, and named "Secretariat").

Under the training of Hancock, Hongxia performed well. Unfortunately, in the first competition, the rider retreated and only finished fourth. Penny fired the rider, and based on Hancock's suggestion, hired Ronnie, who was recuperating at home due to an injury caused by excessive horse driving and lived by "chivalry" as a knight.

In the second sprint event, "Secretariat" took first place.

3. Redirect

Redirect 1: Family objections

Just when Penny was about to do something big, a debtor came to her door. My brother said: "Training horse racing requires talent. I am an economics professor at Harvard University and I don't dare to do it; you are just a housewife... sell the horse farm and go back to your family."

< p> My husband, who is a lawyer, also came over to help: "Now that 'Secretariat' has won the first place in the horse racing year, hurry up and sell it for a big price, otherwise the price will drop every time you lose a game."

Pan Ni said: "No, living is only about our future life and attitude towards life. If you don't run, you will never know how far you can run. The legacy my father left me is not money, but the desire to win." . I don’t want my life to be filled with regrets. I will handle the debt.”

Husband: “Okay, but don’t touch my money!”

2 : Can’t find the money

When she couldn’t borrow money from anywhere, Penny came up with another idea: convert the future breeding of “Secretariat” into 32 options for US$190,000 each, and sell them to the richest man, Filipina Puth et al. Phipps was reluctant at first and wanted to buy it out directly, but Penny refused.

4. Together

After raising money and paying off their debts, they devoted themselves to the horse racing business of "Secretariat". Later, "Secretariat" won the "three consecutive championships" in the middle-distance running and set a world record. In the end, he achieved both career and family success.
