What does it mean to break the ice in the script?

What does it mean to break the ice in the script? This word usually refers to the process of mutual understanding between characters in works of art. In movies or TV plays, characters usually start with strangers or misunderstand each other. Something needs to happen at this time, so that they can gradually know, respect and understand each other. This process is called "breaking ice".

Many movies and TV series have ice-breaking scenes. It is these scenes that make the audience feel the relaxation and change of the relationship between the characters, and at the same time let the audience better understand the story and the development of the characters. It usually takes some time to break the ice and experience some contradictions and conflicts.

As a skill of artistic creation, breaking ice can better show the emotional world and mental journey of characters. Not only let the audience better understand the role, but also guide the audience to think and pay more attention to the plot development and characterization of the story. A successful "Breaking the Ice" needs not only profound characters, but also vivid and dramatic plot development, which plays a key role in the development of the whole script.
