First, story telling analysis 1. What is a story? Stories are one of the cores of human artistic creation. Stories are an important carrier of human civilization. The importance that major art schools attach to stories 2. What is storytelling?

The test questions are flexible and changeable, and the test atmosphere is relatively relaxed. Examiners generally do not embarrass candidates under the premise of comprehensive quality inspection. 3. Examination analysis and inspection purposes of different colleges and majors 4. General introduction to exam-taking: A. Time control issues. After getting the questions, first classify the exam questions, use 2/3 of the time to write the outline, and 1/3 of the time Let's briefly talk about it again. The process of telling is actually a process of re-creation, but the re-creation is based on the outline, not a new creation. After the exam begins, you will have a full understanding and control of your speaking speed. Don’t worry too much about time. Narrate calmly and cadence in a controlled manner. B. Five key points for scoring. Good image. Language suitable for the situation. Language organization ability. Logical creative ability. Rhythm and tension of the story 5. The first scoring rule: Good image A. Personal image. The first 5 seconds: The examiner's first impression of the candidate is mainly based on the candidate's personal image and language, and such a judgment is basically completed within 5 seconds. The image should have the enthusiasm of students and a little personality. B. Self-expression and self-positioning. Self-expression and self-positioning are the partial self that candidates hope to show to the examiner. Including: The appeal of language. The affinity of image. The ability of self-expression.

I quietly opened the door and put A cup of warm water was placed on the table... 2. Camera, banana, warehouse, shadow, mother, pencil, mouse 3. I opened the book and a piece of yellowed letter paper fell out... 2. Analysis of test questions and the basis of storytelling 1 , Candidates' trial lectures and comments 2. Classification of storytelling test questions A. Give the opening proposition and focus on continuation. There is less creative space and less difficulty. But personalization is more difficult. Mostly seen in the Central Academy of Drama exams. Example 1: He said to me in surprise: "This is completely impossible!"... B. Polynomial propositions give multiple words (mainly nouns, 2-3) that have no direct logical relationship and require the creation of a story , the creative space is large and difficult, and it is easy to reveal personal tendencies and talents. Commonly seen in the Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy Examination Question 2: Moon, Tricycle C. Single-entry propositions give an abstract or concrete word, which can be used as the theme, keywords, key props, etc. in creation, and the creative space is large. , less difficult, but easy to go off topic, mostly seen in Beijing Film Academy, Communication University of China Examination Example 3: Beard 3. Basics of Storytelling Storytelling should follow the following rules ⑴. Simple structure Taking into account the issue of time, the story structure should be as simple as possible. There should not be too many characters on the stage, the use of props should not be too complicated, the dialogue should be reduced as much as possible, and the narration should be mainly narration. There should not be more than two plot lines, and only use two plot lines and simple ones when you are very sure. Time and space inversion (flashback, interlude, etc.) When the last human being in the world was sitting alone in the room, there was a knock on the door. This micro-novel completely reproduces all the elements that a story should have. There is time (after the extinction of mankind), there is a place (in the room), there are characters (survivors), there are events (the extinction of mankind), there are stories (what happens after the extinction), there are emotional and psychological descriptions (loneliness), and there is suspense (coming). Who is it), with a lingering rhyme (allowing readers to use their imagination to figure out what it is) ⑵. Plain language. Use the plainest language to tell the story. Avoid large quotations, let alone use a lot of written language, and avoid mixed white and white words. A mixture of ancient and modern Chinese. (Lao She’s contribution to Chinese literature and Chinese drama) ⑶. The characters created with distinctive characters are mainly simple characters (with distinct independent personalities). Only the first protagonist is allowed to become complex characters (with qualitative changes) under controllable circumstances. The rest are The characters are mainly symbolic. The number of characters should not be too many. There should be no more than 3 characters. The names of the characters should be as simple and symbolic as possible, and should not be "poetic" or "Qiongyao" (4). The rhythm should be appropriate. Grasp the rhythm of the story and do not require too many plots. For dramatic stories, after explaining the background, go directly to the plot points, and the plot points directly lead to the climax. For life-oriented stories, there is no requirement for an absolute climax, but rather a relaxed and relaxed rhythm of reality and reality.

⑸. Proper dialogue. Dialogue will increase the difficulty of narrating and interpreting oral stories, so please try to reduce the relative amount of dialogue. Chapter 27 of "Dream of Red Mansions": Hongyu said: "Sister Ping said: Our grandma wants to ask how the grandma here is. It turns out that our second master is not at home. Although it is two days late, please just ask grandma to rest assured. When the fifth grandma gets better, our grandma will still be here." The Fifth Grandma came to see Grandma. The Fifth Grandma sent someone to say that her aunt has arrived with a letter, asking her how she is and asking her to find two pills of the Life-Prolonging Magic Pill. Grandma sent someone to send it to our grandma. If someone goes there tomorrow, I will bring it to my uncle and grandma over there. "You should also pay attention to the language of life and civilians, and don't deliberately pursue dialogue with great appeal. . Dialogue should not be deliberately sensational. ⑹. Clear logic. The logic of the narrative must be clear. There must be a narrative outline in advance. Do not change the narrative outline at will when it is not necessary. The framework of the story should be reasonable and reasonable, especially the development paragraphs and the ending. Avoid being unimaginative and try to be as close to the scope of human understanding and humanity as possible. ⑺. Ingenious idea. If you don’t have a particularly sure and ingenious idea, you would rather make the story plain and life-like. Don’t lose touch with reality just to be different. It is often the subversion of the last sentence that makes the whole story full of meaning and rises to the level of philosophy. ⑻ Use the plainest language to narrate your story. Don’t be wantonly lyrical, don’t be wantonly romantic, and don’t wantonly describe things you can’t capture. Three common problems when writing stories: 1. Ending problem There can be an ending, but it is not required. Open endings are a trend, allowing individuals to express themselves more freely; closed endings are a tradition, showing one's creative ability. 2. Theme question There is no restriction on the theme, but it is not allowed to be too wild and unrestrained. Don't describe what you don't understand or are familiar with, and don't deliberately pursue novelty. 3. Reality or fiction? According to the first intuition, the most reliable method is the existing stories in life, followed by stories heard from hearsay, reading, and watching, and finally fiction. However, if you have good fictional ability and inspiration, fiction is still the best way to highlight your personal character and creative ability. 4. The second scoring rule: language suitable for the situation. Candidates' own language accomplishment. Mandarin questions. Issues with speaking speed and intonation. Written and spoken language. Slang, dialects, catchphrases, and popular vocabulary. The language requirements of the exam. Everything is based on plain language. Lord. .The purpose of dramatic language: narrative>lyrical, leaving ample space for re-creation by performers and viewers. .Characteristics of film and television language: picture > heart. .Accurate and concise language. Three realms in "Human Words" 1. Last night, the west wind withered the green trees. I went up to the west building alone and looked at the end of the world - Song Dynasty. Yan Shu's "Magpie Stepping on the Branch" 2. The belt gradually widened and ended. Don’t regret, but you will feel haggard for the loss of Yi - "Butterfly Love Flower" by Liu Yong, Song Dynasty 3. Suddenly looking back, that person is there, in the dim light - "The Sapphire Case" by Xin Qiji, Song Dynasty Third, story telling example 1 1. The first type of questions: gives a detailed analysis of the beginning and continuation. It gives a beginning and requires candidates to complete the subsequent story. The questions are divided into two types: giving the beginning of the opening type or the beginning of the result type. The opening type : I opened a door and saw a stranger lying on the bed, dying. He said... It triggers a new story. The relationship between the characters can be constructed after the story begins. The creative space of the story is relatively open. .Resultant: He said to me in surprise: "This is completely impossible." He asked to create a story that "has already happened". When the title was given, the relationship between the characters had already been initially established, and the creative space of the story was relatively closed. . .For this kind of question, focus on "deconstruction" and extract as many factors as possible from the given beginning. For example: He said to me in surprise: "This is completely impossible!". Isolated elements: characters: him, me. Emotional nouns: surprise, impossible. Therefore, the creation of this article should focus on "this" and "not" possible". What does "this" mean, and why is it "impossible". "Surprise" sets the mood for the story. The examinee's task is to "complete a story" rather than "express an emotion". The candidate's creative ability is greater than his creative ability. Try to create a typical character in the story. .Commonly seen in the Central Academy of Drama exams. There is less creative space and less difficulty, but it is more difficult to personalize. It is recommended to complete the story telling safely. 2. Simulate questions in class. Next door to my house, there lives an old man with gray hair... He held my hand tightly and said, "Keep walking, don't look back!"... 3. Group discussion and creation , Comments by Candidates Editor 4. Commentary by Outstanding Candidates He held my hand tightly and said, "Keep walking, don't look back!" He held my hand tightly and said, "Keep walking, don't look back!" So I I gritted my teeth and followed him step by step. The mountain road became steeper and steeper. On one side of my body were stone steps like a knife and an axe, while on the other side, apart from two iron chains, there was a vast sea of ??clouds. , I have to put in a lot of courage and determination every step I take. Although fear has been lingering in my heart, there is always a voice in my heart reminding me, "Keep going, don't look back!" He is a mountain climber. Worker, at the foot of Huangshan Mountain, carried my heavy camera bag without saying a word. His only mantra was, "Keep going, don't look back." "During the conversation along the way, I learned that he is the only labor force in the family. His younger brother is studying abroad and his mother is ill in bed. During the busy farming season, he will help his sister farm the land, and when he is free, he will do mountain picking. No matter how heavy the job is, as long as there is work, he is willing to do it.

I savored his words and sympathized with his life. In comparison, the efforts I made for life were much simpler than his. I asked him, "Are you tired?", and he smiled and said, "It's not bad, but the things on my shoulders are a little heavy. It feels uncomfortable." In fact, I asked him about his life, but he answered incorrectly. He added, "No matter how hard and tired you are, you still have to walk. Knowing where the top of the mountain is is gives you hope. But there is a trick, that is, you can't look back. When you look back, you will feel discouraged and your steps will slow down." It’s getting heavier and I can’t go up anymore. If I want to look back, I have to wait until I reach the top of the mountain. “A gust of wind blew, the clouds cleared and the fog dispersed, and the highest peak of Huangshan appeared in front of me. It was mine. The top of the mountain is my destination, but I don’t know where his top is. The stone steps in front of me became extremely steep. He held my hand tightly and said, "Keep walking and don't look back! Look, the top of the mountain is right in front of you!" Analysis of ideas: He held my hand tightly and said : "Keep walking, don't look back!" Character elements: him, me Emotional elements: tight. Action elements: holding hands, walking, looking back (don't look back) This is a topic with two characters. The first sentence has clearly stated that The narrator, the "I", is drawn into the story and defines its point of view. The appearance of "him" and the characteristics of "his" movements and language (concise and commanding) define a certain scope for the environment and situation in which the story takes place. The dialogue "keep going and don't look back" further narrows the possibilities of topic selection. What kind of relationship is established between "him" and "me". In such a relationship, there needs to be action opportunities such as "holding hands", "walking", and "don't look back", as well as the emotional necessity of "holding tight". Advantages of the sample essay: It constructs an objective situation that requires "holding hands" and "walking": climbing a mountain. An objective situation that requires "holding hands" tightly is constructed: the steep Huangshan Mountain. A philosophical system has been constructed: life and mountain climbing are equally difficult, but the top of the mountain is right in front of you and there is no turning back. A basically complete character image is created: the characters, places, events, and relationships between the people are all clearly explained. . Repeat the question, "Keep going, don't look back!" It can eventually rise to the level of philosophy. The shortcomings of the sample essay are a bit too literal, such as "One side of my body is a stone step like a knife and an axe, while the other side has only two Beyond the iron chain is the vast sea of ??clouds. "Sometimes it is difficult for the audience to understand, which also makes the narration unnatural. In the process of character creation, the ideas are incomplete and there are slight contradictions. The character dialogue is relatively long, but lacks characteristics, which increases the difficulty of narration. It must be "reasonable", Increases the difficulty of writing. 5. The third scoring rule: language organization ability. When there is no time to write the full text, writing an outline of the story is the safest way. Therefore, the main problem in telling the story is how to use it. Express your own outline in your own language. Language organization ability directly reflects the creator's self-expression ability and artistic reproduction ability. Try to use the language you are familiar with to reduce bad habits in your own language. Pay attention to your speaking speed and do not exceed the speed of thinking. Don't worry about going off topic, "how to respond" is very important. Try to complete the construction of characters and events in one go, and don't describe it repeatedly (it's a sketch, not a sketch). 6. Screen the film "Xixi Clan". Fourth, tell the story. Example 2 1. The second type of question: Give a detailed classification of multiple keyword writing, which means giving multiple words (mainly nouns, 2-3) with no direct logical relationship, and asking to create a story. The questions leave more space for candidates to create, but the creation is more difficult, but at the same time, the advantage is that as long as the story is told well, it can show the individual's creative talent. Analysis of the questions: Moon, Tricycle Newspaper, Beer lipstick, nurse, alley, man, football 1. Establish relationships (the most important point) There is no specific logical relationship between words, so creating logical relationships between several words accounts for a huge proportion of the entire creative process. It can be said that finding a suitable relationship is equivalent to half of the creation. When there are people, the person is the protagonist. When there are no people, the person is the protagonist (or an object with subjective consciousness). Choose one prop as the core prop. Other props can be used to express emotions, such as "the moon, heavy rain", or to describe the scenes of the story, such as "canteen, alley." Everything should be people-oriented. 2. Choose the viewpoint. Choosing the viewpoint is actually choosing the protagonist. Chapter 2 One person: subjective point of view, more real, easy to express emotions. Third person: objective point of view (omniscient point of view), more flexible, showing control ability. 3. Perfect the story. A short story should not have too many characters and plot points. The ideal state is: The other state is: for a dramatic story, after explaining the background, go directly to the plot points, and the plot points directly push to the climax. For life-oriented stories, there is no requirement for an absolute climax, but a relaxed and relaxed rhythm of reality and reality. There can be an ending, but it’s not forced. Open endings are a trend, allowing individuals to express themselves more freely; closed endings are a tradition, showing one's creative ability.

4. Choose narrative logic and the first person of time and space. It is suitable to use chronological narration and flashback third person. It is suitable to use chronological narration, interlude narration and even parallel narration. 5. Organize the language and simulate the questions in class. Goldfish, soldier moon, tricycle, group discussion and creation, Comments from Candidate Editors and Excellent Candidate Sample Comments: Moon, Tricycle If you see me and my car, you will quickly determine what I do, and you will even call me without thinking, "Hey, that guy pulling the tricycle." !" Yes, you may not know my name, but you can call me my profession at once. I am the woman who pulls the tricycle, and my name is "Moon". I have an obedient little daughter who is five years old this year. They call her "Crescent Moon". Every day when I go out to pull the tricycle, I leave my daughter with Uncle Chen's house next door. The city management is tightening their grip, but this is my only way to make money. I also have an obedient little daughter to support, and I have to give her a warm home. Last year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I went to buy a moon cake for my little daughter Yue Yaer. I told her that moon cakes are made from the moon. If we eat the round moon, we will have a happy family. Yue Ya'er was very happy and was waiting for me at home, but I was obsessed with picking up a customer on the way, thinking that I could make more money and buy a better moon cake. Unexpectedly, the city management saw him. Two strange, burly men were chasing me from behind. I rode with all my strength, not knowing where to go. But as a woman, my strength is limited. I was finally caught by them... They punished me. My money was taken away, my car was confiscated, and I no longer had the money to buy a mooncake for my child. In the dead of night the next day, I was released from the detention center. When I looked up, I saw Uncle Chen and Yue Yaer waiting for me at the door. Yue Yaer held a bowl of water and threw herself into my arms, crying to me. I said, Mom, I don’t want to eat mooncakes anymore. You see, there is a moon here. As long as drinking this bowl of water is like eating a round moon, we will have a happy home. I looked up and saw a round moon in the sky, shining silently and warmly on us. Idea analysis: Moon, tricycle The moon and tricycle are two inanimate props. The moon can be emotionalized and become one of the means to express artistic conception. The usual idea may focus on "the moon shines on the third wheel". How to make the simple relationship between the moon and the tricycle have a deeper connotation is the key to creation. The author's personification of the moon enlarges the creative space, and the feminine perspective echoes inversely with the pan-masculine object such as the tricycle. The lack of male characters makes the story more feminine, and there is no need to make up for this lack. A reasonable explanation is given, but the story is very complete. Advantages of the sample essay: Ingenious conception, flexible use of nouns. The female perspective adds a personalized color to the story, and the two deconstructions of the "moon" enhance the taste of the story. The rhythm is well controlled, and the ending is not procrastinating. Disadvantages of the sample essay: The literary atmosphere is too strong, Some examiners may not like it. Creation is difficult and difficult to master. It is not recommended to imitate. 6. The fourth scoring rule: Logical creative ability. The so-called narrative logic depends on the following factors: 1. Whether the character construction is reasonable. 2. Whether the character relationship construction is reasonable. 3. Is the character’s motivation reasonable? 4. Whether the cause, course, and results of the incident are reasonable. 5. Whether the character’s role in the incident is reasonable. 6. Whether the data, props, costumes, and environment are reasonable. Therefore, this narrative logic is established at the story outline stage. Fifth, Storytelling Example 3 1. Third type of question: Give a detailed analysis of a single keyword writing category. Give an abstract or concrete word, which can be It is created as the theme, keywords, key props, etc. It has a larger creative space and less difficulty, but it is easy to go off topic. Commonly seen in the Beijing Film Academy and Communication University of China exams, questions like: Dumplings; Winning lottery; Elevator; Lost shoes; Darkness; Cat next door; Amorous encounter; Wallet; Elevator broken; Fans; Rainy day. It is divided into the following categories: A. Narrative category: winning lottery; lost shoes; affair; broken elevator B. Noun category: dumplings; elevator; cat next door, fans (characters) C. Status category: dark; rainy day . For narrative: the work to be done is an expansion of an event. After stipulating the event, how to choose a narrative angle becomes the key, for example: winning the lottery. So who wins the lottery? Different people win a lottery at different times and under different circumstances. The tension, color, and atmosphere of the story will be different. Somewhat similar to the first proposition. The basic creative rules of Hollywood: time, place, characters, and events are all inconsistent with the basic story logic. In other words, something that shouldn’t happen happens at a time and place that shouldn’t happen, in a place that shouldn’t happen. On the people in him. Wrongplace, wrongtime, wrongperson, rightstory. For example: "Home Alone", "Jurassic Park", "Matrix", "Lord of the Rings", "Love in Paris", "E.T". For example: I lost my shoe and I am depressed because I don't have shoes. Until I saw a person on the street, he had no feet. For the noun class: what I have to do is to dig out the attributes of things and find out the characters, props or events that have a corresponding relationship with them or have an antagonistic relationship with them. Somewhat similar to the second proposition. In the process of creation, pay attention to the repeated use of a single noun. If it appears repeatedly in the story, this noun should be the core of the story. This noun can even be deconstructed into multiple objects. For example, the example question "Moon, Tricycle" focuses on the repeated and multiple uses of the moon.

For the state category: See the narrative category, except that the creative space is larger. Within the given emotional range, candidates can choose an event by themselves, and the rest are the same as the narrative category. 2. Simulation of questions, elevators, and romantic encounters in class 3. Group discussion, creation, and commentary by candidates 4. The fifth scoring rule: the rhythm and tension of the story The traditional narrative method, also known as linear narrative, is divided into the following categories Structure: A. Three-stage form: beginning, climax and ending. B. Four-stage form: "starting, continuing, turning, and closing". Among them, "start" is divided into "beginning + entanglement" C. Five-paragraph pattern: the beginning of entanglement develops to the climax ending (where the development paragraph and the climax paragraph can be divided into five paragraphs with the same structure). In the process of narrative, each is composed of The "action line" and "emotional line" are intertwined and interspersed to jointly advance the development of the story. It is not recommended that candidates make too many changes to the narrative method during the creative process. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the writer and director wrote the story example "Crazy Woman" Crazy Woman Jiajun's parents work in other places and seldom When he came back, he was studying alone in this city. Jiajun has been a sensible child since he was a child. Since Jiajun's parents work in other places all year round, his parents send him monthly living expenses at school. However, in recent months, the living expenses have always been more. Jiajun I thought it was because his mother was afraid that he didn't have enough money and wanted to give him some extra. Jiajun's thoughts were confused. At this moment, he suddenly remembered someone. It was an afternoon a few months ago. A middle-aged woman came to the school. She was about the same age as Jiajun's mother. She was neatly dressed and well-groomed, but she was mentally disturbed. When she saw her male classmate, she said: Call me mom and I can treat you to dinner and buy you many gifts. At first, the classmates did not dare to talk to this woman, and ran away as soon as they saw him. For many days after that, this woman often appeared in the school, and the classmates also knew that she was a crazy woman with a mental disorder. No one dared to talk to her, and later things about the crazy woman spread in the school. It turned out that this woman's son went to school in this school and died of leukemia six months ago. Because of her son's departure, the mother suffered a mental breakdown and often came to the school to look for her son. As time passed, the school couldn't do anything to him, so her classmates gave her the nickname "Crazy Woman". On this day, the crazy woman came to school again. Fortunately, Jiajun and her classmates bumped into each other. When the crazy woman saw Jiajun, she was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Jiajun and asked him to call her "Mom". He also said, "I am your mother! Call me mother quickly! Mom treats you to dinner!" When the students saw this, they encouraged Jiajun and asked Jiajun to shout: "I just call you mother! You can also eat and buy a lot for you." Gift. At this time, Jiajun's mind went blank, and he shouted "Mom" for some reason. When they heard this mother, the classmates laughed, but the woman lowered her head and groaned. Then, Jiajun was taken to a restaurant near the school by the woman. They talked a lot in the restaurant! Crazy woman Zi also bought a lot of gifts and food for Jiajun. That night, the moon was as cool as water. Jiajun was walking in the garden. He thought about what happened during the day and felt quite puzzled. How can I call him mom? Why does he feel like his mother when he eats? Maybe it’s because he hasn’t eaten with his parents for too long! Jiajun fell into deep thinking. After that meal, the crazy woman never showed up at school, and gradually no one mentioned this matter! Until one day, Jiajun suddenly received a letter from a law firm! In the letter, The content was to ask him to attend a funeral, and the letter also said that Jiajun would inherit an inheritance. Jiajun was even more puzzled and told this matter to his parents who were working out of town. His parents told Jiajun not to think too much at school and that his parents would come back as soon as possible! They will take you to the funeral! His parents took Jiajun with them. Arriving at the funeral! Jiajun saw a huge photo of the deceased hanging in the middle of the lobby! The person in the photo was the crazy woman Jiajun saw at school a few months ago! But he couldn't figure it out! He just had a meal with this crazy woman and had a casual acquaintance! Why did he appear at her funeral again! Jiajun's parents gave Jiajun a letter from the crazy woman. The letter read: "Jiajun: My son, when I saw you for the first time, I recognized you! That afternoon fifteen years ago, your mother took you to the city, and you accidentally left Lost, my mother has been searching hard for fifteen years, and now she finally found you. The obvious black mole on your forehead is so eye-catching! Your mother and your departed brother will always wish you success. The inheritance left to you is what my mother owed you in her previous life. Accept it, Jiajun, my relative?" Comments: The foreshadowing of the story is very clever. The first paragraph briefly explains the reason for the matter, which provides the basis for what follows. The foreshadowing is laid, and the story is directly narrated. The character settings are also very simple. The protagonist Jiajun and the crazy woman, the conflict between the two characters seems very simple, but in fact it is very obvious. Regarding the choice of themes, campus themes and family themes are used together. The writing of the story is very innovative, and the use of succession and transition is also in place and very thoughtful.
