Of course, this is a cliche in the circle, but how many people really know whether their stories are qualified or not? We often see an investor or producer claiming how awesome my script is and how strong my IP is. You all know the actual situation, hehe. How to judge a good story has become a problem that everyone is struggling with. Let's make a hypothesis first. When the shooting hardware facilities of the Beijing shooting team are the same, the script and the shooting team are very important.
What is a good script?
Everyone or the person who developed the script in the early stage will have their own unique cognitive system. The editor thinks that a good script should have the following factors:
1, the main line and auxiliary line of the story are clear, and they can also be used as separate sentences after overlapping.
2. The relationship between characters and emotions is clear, and how wonderful the characterization is.
3. There must be at least three turning points or reversals, full-time conflict points and various conflict points.
Imagine, put the readers of this article in the prescribed situation of online audience and guess what story they want to read.
1, handsome men and beautiful women, touching love theme of mutual abuse, why "Hurry" can gain 934 million, besides the fiery effect of IP, the final direction of the love triangle between Chen Xun, Qiao Ran and Fang Fen is what the audience is most looking forward to. In the final analysis, the core of this story is the plight of the characters who talk about traditional love, but the packaging elements have been transformed into campus and youth. But overall, the main line of the story is clear and the style is beautiful. The line "I don't regret dreaming, I just hate being in a hurry" in the play has become the signboard of literary youth and student groups, which highly summarizes the intention and essence of the story in one sentence. If the main line of the story is clear and in line with the popular youth elements, how can it fail?
2, working day after day is very tiring and stressful, and working during the day is oppressed by the leaders. I want to find someone who can make me laugh on the subway after work. If the character is diaosi, has the same characteristics as himself, and can communicate with the souls of countless otaku goddesses, it is best to have a little blood and big dreams. The dream is still funny, in case it comes true. Hey, listen to this description. Do you think you've seen it somewhere? Yes, it's a Dios from Dapeng. Every episode of it is about what happened around Dapeng, and the characters encountered are colorful and varied. If a large part of the ratings of that year's rush depends on the IP effect, then Dios has built itself into an IP by virtue of its growth in recent years. What is the basis? In my opinion, in addition to the casual guest stars, the joy of the little people in the story and the daydreaming feelings of diaosi can give every ordinary person a little positive energy to continue to struggle in this world.
"Never Imagine" is also based on such creative principles, wonderful characterization and impressive special effects to satisfy the audience's unsatisfied curiosity and pleasure.
3. Only with the traditional story as the core, will there be a weak comment on the feelings of the little people, which is similar to "changing the soup without changing the medicine". How to ambush the pen in your own story and make your story ups and downs is particularly critical. The Night Man and The Ferryman of the Soul are worth studying in this respect. Neither of them has a so-called box office actor or a strong IP effect. It is through the careful polishing of the story that they have achieved their present achievements. The conflict in The Ferry of the Soul is set in the eyes where the hero can see ghosts, while the dark man has been leading the audience to find something darker, or misleading the audience into thinking that this is the story. It is these carefully arranged foreshadowing that make these two plays have a good reputation and intend to make a sequel.
Well, when you successfully have a good story based on these three elements, and suppose you have a mature production team.
