1980 My Literary Era.

Chapter 132 Listening to Teacher Lin
"Small Courtyard Stories" is a very new work, which was only published in "Contemporary" in the second half of last year.

Yanying's students plan to use it as the text of their graduation works, and they are interested in the freshness contained in this novel.

Among the trio of writers and directors, Tian Zhuangzhuang is mainly in charge of directing, while Xie Xiaojing and Cui Xiaoqin are in charge of script adaptation.

Hearing Tian Zhuangzhuang said that he hired the writer Lin Weimin to help correct the script, Xie Xiaojing and Cui Xiaoqin felt a little disgusted instinctively, why?Is what we write necessarily worse than writers?

Since ancient times, literati have looked down on each other, and their thinking is normal.

But when they saw Lin Weimin, they felt a little nervous again. The name of the person and the shadow of the tree, Lin Weimin, as a new writer in the past two years, has a great reputation, especially "Farewell My Concubine", which was only released this year, is popular all over the country. gained wide popularity.

The most important thing is that everyone has heard that he is Mr. Wan Jiabao's closed disciple, and now he specializes in writing scripts for people. The performance of "Untouchable" at the beginning of the year has received a lot of praise from the drama circle, even from the school's literature department. The teacher is also full of praise for this drama.

"Small Courtyard" was going to be adapted into a movie script, the students first changed the name to "Small Courtyard".

Lin Weimin looked at the name on the letter paper, and found that this change was correct. The word "trivial note" itself is a term in the category of literature.

Opening the script, the content is very short, and it took Lin Weimin only ten minutes to read it.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of the script?" Tian Zhuangzhuang asked.

Lin Weimin raised his head, frowned, and did not answer Tian Zhuangzhuang's question, "Have Teacher Xie read it?"

Xie Fei smiled and said: "I see. But I'm not a screenwriter, so it's not very good. If there is something wrong with Mr. Lin, let them correct it."

Seeing this, Lin Weimin nodded, and said to Tian Zhuangzhuang: "Before I told you that "The Death of Yula" is more difficult to change than "The Little Courtyard" is only relative. In fact, "The Little Courtyard" should be changed into a movie script. It's not easy. "Small Courtyard" is not a work that is stronger than burying conflicts in the traditional sense, it is completely based on daily life, and such a work requires a strong foreshadowing and performance."

He opened the script, "There are a few problems with your script now..."

Lin Weimin casually picked up the pen on Xie Fei's desk, pointed to the beginning of the script and said, "Is this narration in the first act of yours useful? It is useful. But it's too straightforward, too abrupt, and at the same time too lazy. Use the heroine Sangsang narration to introduce the characters in the small courtyard, can't you think of a better way?"

Lin Weimin pointed out the problems of the script. Xie Xiaojing and Cui Xiaoqin were a little embarrassed and wanted to explain, but after thinking about it, they found that there seemed to be nothing to explain, and there was nothing wrong with what they said.

"Character expressions, body movements, and lines, in the scene of more than a minute, you have completely wasted it. Don't you think it is monotonous if you just play a narration of Sangsang?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang observed the reactions of the two classmates, and knew that the two had thin skins, and they were a little too embarrassed to step down after being scolded, so he whispered to Lin Weimin: "Mr. Lin, how do you think this place should be improved?"

Lin Weimin shook his head and said: "You must remember that narration must be used with caution. For the audience, a good work must allow them to invest in emotions from the first perspective. As a means of God's perspective, narration is different from this point. There are contradictions, even if you tell it from the perspective of the heroine."

"Let's go on to talk about how to change. First of all, the narration has to be removed. You have many ways to highlight the heroine, and you can use the language of the lens to handle it. Another purpose of adding narration is to introduce characters. Since the narration is removed, it must be in the lines Deal with the relationship with the characters and the performance.

For example, the introduction of Lao Jiang is not bad, it should be continued, and it only needs a simple line processing to stand up to this character..."

After talking about how to change the opening chapter, Lin Weimin pointed out the problem in the foreshadowing of the plot, "Your foreshadowing is too weak. I guess it may be due to the time limit, but you should do better. "Small Courtyard" itself is based on the shortcomings of the parents. If you can’t do a good job at this point, then this work will not stand up at all. I think the problem at the beginning of the article may have something to do with this, and you are a little too anxious.”

Cui Xiaoqin nodded hurriedly and said: "Mr. Lin, you are so right, this is also where we worry."

Lin Weimin said to Xie Fei: "Mr. Xie, I think the quality of the work should be the most important thing. The length of 10 minutes is really too much for the students."

Xie Fei smiled wryly, "I understand this, but the funds in the courtyard are limited..."

Halfway through the conversation, Xie Fei realized that this was not Lin Weimin's or the students' problem, "I'll talk to the courtyard later, and try to fight for a little more."

The students smiled when they heard this.

Finally, Lin Weimin suggested: "How is your situation?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang replied: "Not yet, but we plan to use the courtyard as the shooting scene."

Lin Weimin thought for a while, and said to Xie Fei: "I suggest that the students go to the courtyard to experience life. From the script, I don't see that you have any understanding of life in the courtyard."

The expressions of Tian Zhuangzhuang and the other students were a bit shy. Lin Weimin only took a few minutes to look at the script they brought, and picked out a bunch of problems, which made them unable to refute. At the same time, he also gave precise advice on how to deal with it .

In just over half an hour, several students were completely convinced by Lin Weimin's performance.

Xie Fei did not expect that Lin Weimin looked young, but he was so keen in creation, and he tidied up the students who were usually proud and arrogant.

"What Mr. Lin said is very reasonable. Let them adjust the problems in the script later. What you said about experiencing life is also a good suggestion. I will coordinate it in the next two days, so that they can get familiar with the life in the courtyard. "

After finishing talking about the script, Lin Weimin showed a warm smile on his face, "What I said just now was a bit harsh, don't take it to heart."

Xie Xiaojing waved her hand and said, "Mr. Lin, please don't say that. We have really benefited a lot from your criticism and suggestions just now, which are more useful than my one-semester class..."

Before he finished speaking, Cui Xiaoqin stepped on him, and the teacher was still here.

Lin Weimin said with a smile: "It's different. What the teacher teaches you is theory, which can benefit you for life. What I teach you is more like actual combat. It works for a while, but it can't work for a lifetime."

Tian Zhuangzhuang gave the two of them a look, Mr. Lin still can talk, Xie Xiaojing, if you can't talk, just talk less.
