Chapter 250
“All right!”
“Uncle has finished telling this story.”
When Wan Lanxiang heard the highlight, she couldn’t help stretching out her hands and applauding: “Uncle is so strong, he was able to tell such a wonderful story casually within a few minutes.”
“I don’t know, when will I be able to be like my uncle, and the export is a story.”
He Yuhao came to Wan Lanxiang and stretched out his right hand.
Gently tapped Wan Lanxiang’s head twice and said, “You!”
“As long as you study hard with your uncle, you will be able to tell a story like an uncle if you don’t stay with me for a long time.”
“All right.”
“Uncle, let me tell you about the three elements of a movie script.”
The so-called three elements of a story are not the composition we learned since childhood, the “time, place, and character” that the Chinese teacher said.
The three elements of He Yuhao’s stories are characters, events and themes.
Among them, characters can be divided into three small elements, namely: identity, desire and action.
Events can still be divided into three small elements, namely: problems, resistance, and results.
The final theme can be divided into two small elements, namely positive energy and negative energy.
That is, the positive values and negative values of the story you are telling.
Every classic good story is inseparable from these eight small elements.
As He Yuhao spoke, he wrote on the small blackboard with red and black chalk.
And Wan Lanxiang, a student, was also listening to the class very seriously, and while listening, she wrote it down with a pen and paper.
Desire and action, these two small elements that make up the story, He Yuhao has already talked about.
Regarding the characters, there are also identities that have not been mentioned.
So He Yuhao looked at Wan Lanxiang and asked, “Lanxiang, do you know what the character’s identity refers to?”
“How do you say this?”
Wan Lanxiang stopped writing, pondered for a while, and said, “For example, if my uncle is the chairman of the He Group, this is my uncle’s identity.”
Wan Lanxiang thought her answer was correct, and was proud of it.
Unexpectedly, He Yuhao shook his head at her and said, “Wrong!”
“This? Isn’t it right? Isn’t uncle the chairman of the He Group?”
Wan Lanxiang was dumbfounded when she heard that He Yuhao actually said that her answer was wrong.
“Actually, it can’t be said that your answer is wrong.”
He Yuhao explained: “But for the creation of the story, your answer is indeed wrong.”
“Before you answered my question, I expected you to give such an answer.”
In order to better illustrate the problem, He Yuhao took out a character in “Journey to the West” as an example.
This character is Sun Wukong.
What is the identity of Sun Wukong?
Is he Bi Ma Wen, or the Great Sage Monkey King?
Or is he the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, the monk who learned the scriptures?
Do not?
These are not his identities.
He has only one identity, and that is the natural stone monkey, and this is the true identity of Sun Wukong.
After Sun Wukong ascended to the heavenly court, whether it was Bi Ma Wen or the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, or the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain in the underground, or a monk who took sutras.
These four are not the identity of Sun Wukong, but the profession of Sun Wukong.
When Wan Lanxiang heard He Yuhao’s explanation, she was dumbfounded.
This identity is so hard to understand!
He Yuhao wrote a word on the small blackboard, she knew all Lanxiang, but when these words were combined with what He Yuhao said.
Wan Lanxiang felt like a three-year-old child, she couldn’t understand what He Yuhao was talking about?
But he felt that what He Yuhao said was very reasonable.
At this moment, Wan Lanxiang has only one question on her mind, so how to define this identity?
So Wan Lanxiang asked her curiosity and said, “Uncle, I seem to understand.”
“I don’t seem to understand, can you give me another example?”
“Fine!”
He Yuhao pondered, thinking about what kind of example to give Wan Lanxiang to understand.
Shortly after.
He Yuhao thought of an example and said, “For example, you want to write a story about a blacksmith.”
“The male protagonist was born in a family of blacksmiths who have been blacksmiths for generations.”
“Through his efforts, the hero finally became a world-famous blacksmith. So, what is the identity of the hero?”
“It’s a blacksmith.”
Wan Lanxiang didn’t even think about it, just when He Yuhao’s words fell, he said these three words…
However, He Yuhao shook his head and said, “Lan Xiang, I said it just now.”
“This can only be regarded as his occupation. The hero’s occupation is a blacksmith. This cannot be regarded as his identity.””oh oh!”
Wan Lanxiang nodded knowingly, then asked, “His identity is not a blacksmith, so what is his identity?”
He Yuhao replied with a smile: “If this story, at the beginning, tells the story of a blacksmith, then his identity is a blacksmith.”
“However, the story I gave as an example is not the story of a blacksmith.”
“It’s a little boy who wanted to be a blacksmith since he was a child. Through his continuous efforts, when he grew up, he worked hard to become a blacksmith famous all over the world.”
“I, this, uncle, this identity issue is very difficult to understand. I don’t seem to know the difference between occupation and identity. Isn’t occupation a person’s identity?”
He Yuhao didn’t know how to tell Wan Lanxiang the difference between identity and occupation.
Because even he himself couldn’t make it clear.
He Yuhao can only feel what a character’s identity is.
This is his creative experience.
However, He Yuhao is very clear that in this story, the identity of the protagonist is “son”.
So He Yuhao told Wan Lanxiang the real answer 1.6.
When Wan Lanxiang heard the answer given by He Yuhao.
She was stunned again.
Wan Lanxiang thought to herself.
The protagonist’s identity is a son, isn’t this a relationship? How did it become an identity?
I really don’t understand.
He Yuhao is also not clear about the definition of this identity and occupation.
He could only find an excuse to say, “You don’t know how to distinguish between occupation and identity. This is normal.”
“Many famous playwrights don’t understand the distinction. Can’t they still come up with one wonderful story after another?”
“So this is not important, as long as you write more stories in the future. You will be able to understand how to distinguish the identity and occupation of the protagonist.”
“All right.”
“Let’s talk about desire and action!”.
