I really want to pounce

Chapter 9 Three-Act Structure

The instructor's surname is Wang, and the single name is Xiang,
Wang Xiang.

A well-known screenwriter in the industry,

He has written several popular movie scripts and won many awards.

When I get older, my creative state declines.
I was invited to teach at Beiyi, and occasionally helped others polish scripts and do secondary creations.

But even if he retreats to the second line, he still has a good influence in the industry, and no one dares to underestimate him.

The screenwriter is getting older and more tricky,
After being bored for several years, he suddenly released a big move and went straight to the big prize.

A good script will never lack a market.

In today's China Entertainment market, the screenwriter is the father!
The original director-based system has shifted to the screenwriter-based system.
Coupled with the major online novel websites that continuously output high-quality IP,
This has greatly improved the quality of Huaguo movies and TV series, which were originally backward!

this era,

It's the best era of screenwriting!

Many leading online writers are part-time screenwriters. After their works sell their copyrights, the film studio will pay a lot of money to ask them to adapt the novels.

No one knows his own novel better than the author.

Of course, first of all, the author's screenwriting level is required to be strong enough, otherwise he can only serve as a consultant editor and assist in adapting his own works.

Instructor Wang Xiang stood in front of the big blackboard, put his hands on the podium, glanced around,
"Students, I have read all your works one by one, they are very good!"

"The literary talent is flying, and the pen is brilliant!"

"I am proud of your unrestrained imagination, you are the most creative students I have ever taught!"

"In a while, I will select a few representative articles to analyze and analyze with you."

The instructor's teaching assistant is a senior student,
When the instructor is opening, open the PPT and put it on the big screen,

The instructor first talked about the basic creative ideas of novels, scripts, and film reviews, as well as the way of appreciation,

Then start today's topic,

"Next, let's look at the first case of an excellent script"

At this time, all the students present held their breaths, waiting for the name of their work to appear on it.

The first work to be appreciated must be the best!
If it is valued by the director, the two will work together to improve it,
I signed my name and took it out to shoot.

One step to the sky!
Yuan Hua looked forward to it even more now,

I don't know if his script "The Life of the Principal's Father" can be selected,
He is based on "Hitler's life" adaptation,

Also published on the film and television creators website,

He also said that several well-connected elders in the film and television industry voted for him as "interested".

The page data is much better than a collection in Dachun.

However, the next three excellent scripts were presented in a row, none of which was Yuan Hua's.
Dachun's suspenseful masterpiece also lost the election without any suspense.

Next, I began to write excellent works of novels,

For this, Pu Jie had no expectations at all.

I know what I write,

There is no literary quality at all!
Compared with this group of serious screenwriter classmates, I am a bitch.

The difference between drinking coffee and eating garlic.

It's better to look back at his "Zixia Fairy".

"I don't know if I can get a WeChat for a while, and we will be a little local tyrant at the [-] level in two months."

But he turned his head away,

Finding that Zixia Fairy's attention has been fully focused on the winner of the excellent script just now,

Especially the No.1 romance script, which received unsparing praise from Director Wang, and hinted that there may be further cooperation in the future.

Pu Jie looked lonely.

"Hey, I'd better earn my own allowance."

The road of making film and television works is too far away from him.
As far as the short essays he wrote, there are not many website subscriptions, let alone selling copyrights to make movies and TV series.

After the scripts, novels, and film reviews are finished,

The instructor Wang Xiang changed the topic,
"In addition to the few students just now, I would also like to commend a classmate in particular. In the past month, he has not only signed a contract with Qidian Chinese Website, which has the lowest acceptance rate for newcomers, but also created 30 words, an average of 1 Wanzi is the student who created the most words in this test, surpassing No.2 by a full 25 words, everyone applause to Pu Jie!"

"Clap clap-"

Pu Jie was stunned,
Under Zhang Yang's signal, he quickly stood up, waved to everyone, and then sat down.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the "Zixia Fairy" behind him turn his eyes back.

The instructor walks around in the classroom while teaching,
"Students, you will all be screenwriters in the future. Whether it's drama series, animation, movies, or even commercial screenwriting, you can't do without one word—diligence!"

"No matter how talented a screenwriter is, if he is too lazy to write, he will end up with nothing. Only by working hard can he write excellent works."

"We don't talk about the quality of the work, just in terms of hard work, Pu Jie has completely surpassed all of you."

"Finally, I would like to give my motto to all the students: lifelong learning and lifelong creation!"

"Pu Jie stay here, the rest of the students are dismissed!"

"Stand up! Old~teacher~bye~see~"

before everyone leaves,
They all took a deep look at the humble Pu Jie,
Silently remember this struggle!
"Okay, good roll! I would like to call Pu Jie the king of roll kings!"

"I'm so stupid, really, I just thought that Pu Jie was a bad student who often skipped classes, but I didn't expect to do such a mediocre thing behind our backs."

"Writing 1 characters a day, is he the reincarnation of a keyboard master? Kong Gu Zuyin, unheard of!"

"Qidian's signed author? Do you know what book Pu Jie wrote? I'll go find it and pay my respects."

"I don't know, let's ask the idiot in their dormitory, he must tell us, I told him the bank card password last time."

Pu Jie really didn't expect the director to come to him so suddenly,

In his opinion, it is normal for an online author to update 1 words a day.

The starting point of the previous life is everywhere,

Especially for those with poor grades, they must rely on more updates to avoid being starved to death.

The students all dispersed slowly.
Pu Jie came to the instructor,

Pu Jie is 1.8 meters, the guide is 1.6 meters,

Looking down from a height,

The most obvious is the hairline that has been pushed to the middle.

"Pu Jie, do you know why I left you alone?"

Oh!Look at the bad lines,
From elementary school teachers to university teachers, not a single word has changed!
"Uh, I'm not sure, Mr. Wang"

Wang Xiang took out a stack of A4 paper and threw it in Pu Jie's hand,

"Look, look at the good article you wrote. The 30 words are full of vernacular and vulgar language. This is how the teacher taught you to write novels?"

"Be popular, not vulgar, not grandstanding"

"You are still young, you can create better works, don't give up on yourself and destroy your future"

Pu Jie took it in his hand and saw that it was the first 10 chapters of "The Son-in-Law of the Dragon King of the City".
There are various revision opinions written by Wang Xiang in red pen,

densely packed,

The number of modified words is not less than that of the main text.

"Teacher Wang, this"

Wang Xiang said angrily: "If it weren't for the fact that you are still a little bit as diligent as I was back then, if you write this kind of article and hand in your homework, I would have transferred you directly."

"Come on, look at the first ten chapters, tell me, where is the classic three-act structure of script creation?"

"Uh, someone provokes, the protagonist slaps the face, and the villain repents. Does this count as a three-act scene?"

Pu Jie looked at the instructor's face, his voice became smaller and smaller,

"This is the new three-act scene you summed up? An average of two chapters to write a three-act scene? Should I praise you?"

Pu Jie said modestly: "That's not necessary."

"Are you still modest? Come on, learn the real three-act structure from me."

"The first act: reveal the background, clarify the protagonist, foretell the conflict, and provide suspense; the second act: the conflict occurs, encounter failure, and clarify the goal; the third act: uncover the foreshadowing, resolve the conflict, and sublimate the theme. This is the orthodox three. Epilogue! Look again, what are you writing! Journal!"

Pu Jie tried to substitute his own story into the

"Teacher Wang, look, actually. I also have a complete three-act scene here!"

"Act [-]: reveal the background: a wealthy family. Define the main character: the married son-in-law. Foretell the conflict: find out that the wife is cheating. Provide suspense: Will the mother-in-law discipline her?"

"Act [-]: Conflict occurs: the protagonist is bullied by his wife's family. Failure: the mother-in-law and his wife conspire to cuckold him. Clear target: this family, don't wait!"

"The third act: uncovering the foreshadowing: why does a tough guy like the protagonist want to be a door-to-door son-in-law. Resolving conflicts: the dragon king envoys, the bold Lin family, how dare to humiliate the dragon king? Sublimation theme: the dragon king crooked mouth"

Instructor Wang Xiang was stunned,
thought for a moment,

It turned out that what Pu Jie said was somewhat reasonable!

Small but complete.

The scene fell into silence for a while.
After a while,
Wang Xiang said angrily: "You are quite unreasonable, but the teacher can tell you responsibly, judging from my 30 years of screenwriting experience, it is impossible for someone to buy the right to adapt a novel like yours."

"And as far as I know, your grades in Qidian are also very poor. This proves that most of Qidian's book friends don't buy it. Go back and take a good look at the changes I proposed for you. According to this idea, you should overhaul the text, and your grades should be OK. Lift point"

"But don't think about adapting it into a film and television work"

Pu Jie took a look at the densely packed revisions and comments made by the instructor, and was a little moved.

If you don't really care about you, who is willing to criticize you so seriously?

"Good guide, I will take a good look at it"

After all, it is impossible to change.
The director sentenced him to death for the adaptation, blocking a possible path for him to succeed.

It proves that his bad strategy this time is completely effective!

The system has been completely manipulated by him.

Just wait for the money to be counted.

The guide took a few steps, then stepped back, and said angrily:
"Are you poisonous, kid? You don't care about so many people who scold you, why are you deleting my comments and banning me?"

Pu Jie instantly remembered the reader named "Da Xiang" who posted two consecutive neutral reviews.
"Ah, Mr. Wang, do you also read Qidian?"

"Hmph~ Start a high-level VIP, what do you think!"

The instructor walked away proudly with the female teaching assistant.

Watching the instructor leave the classroom, Pu Jie looked back, and his eyes collided with the "Zixia Fairy" who was eavesdropping in the back row.
