How to choose excellent IP and script

First, understand the main contradictions and conflicts.

Only by sorting out the clues of contradictions and conflicts (how contradictions and conflicts arise-what contradictions and conflicts arise-how contradictions and conflicts develop) can we fully appreciate the main plot of drama literature.

Second, appreciate the dramatic language.

Dramatic language is the basis of constructing a script. It mainly includes character language and stage description. Character language is also called lines, including dialogue, monologue, narration and so on. It is the manifestation of the psychological activities and behaviors of the characters, thus launching dramatic conflicts, shaping the characters and revealing the theme of the drama; Stage description is a narrative language, which is mainly used to explain the relationship between action, psychology, scenery, environment and characters, and can directly express the characters' personality and drama plot. Although stage description is an indispensable part of drama literature, it plays an auxiliary role compared with the language of characters. Therefore, it is more important to appreciate drama literature and taste the language of characters. To taste the language of characters, we should pay attention to the following three aspects:

1? Taste the personalized language of characters, because personalized language can accurately express the thoughts and feelings of characters.

The so-called personalization refers to the personality characteristics formed by the influence of the age, identity, experience, education and environment of the characters. Personalization of characters' language in drama literature is particularly important. Excellent drama characters' language can often show their personality in a few words.

2? Taste the action language of characters, that is, the action conflict between characters or the inner activities of characters in drama conflict.

We often say that "actions come from the heart" and "words come from the heart", that is to say, a character's inner world must be expressed through words and actions. This kind of language that expresses action comes from the inner heart of the character, so it can show the rich psychological realm of the character.

3? Taste the rich subtext contained in the characters' language, namely "implication" and "implication".

This is a deep meaning beyond the literal meaning of words. Excellent lines are often rich in meaning, thought-provoking, giving people a deep and broad imagination, and can play the role of killing many birds with one stone.

Thirdly, on the basis of appreciating drama conflicts and drama language, we can't ignore the appreciation of drama characters.

1? To appreciate the characters in the play, we should first pay attention to the main personality characteristics of the characters.

The personality of the same character is multifaceted, and different characters have different personality characteristics. Therefore, when appreciating characters, we should first grasp their main personality characteristics.

2? Try to figure out the language of the characters.

The language of drama characters is not only an important means to portray characters, but also the most important carrier to shape them.

3? It is necessary to follow the clues of plot development and clarify the mental process of the development and change of characters' personalities.

Only by sorting out the psychological process of the development and change of the characters in the play can we be called a more comprehensive appreciation of the characters in the play.

Analyze with examples:

(1) Clarify the relationship between characters and grasp contradictions and conflicts.

Contradictions and conflicts are a major element of drama, and contradictions are made up of characters. To grasp contradictions, it is necessary to clarify the relationship between characters.

Example: Try to analyze the characters' personalities with examples.

-Analysis of Zhou Puyuan's character in Thunderstorm with examples.

Analysis: To do this topic well, we must first make clear the relationship between Zhou and Lu in the play. There are contradictions between Zhou Puyuan and Lu Shiping, Zhou Puyuan and Lu Dahai, Lu Dahai and Zhou Ping, Lu Shiping and Zhou Ping in Thunderstorm. These contradictions and conflicts constitute complex dramatic conflicts. The eight characters of Zhou and Lu are husband and wife, father and son, father and daughter, mother and daughter, brother, brother and sister, master and servant and so on. These relationships overlap and implicate each other, resulting in contradictions and class opposition between them. This tragedy profoundly reflects the social class exploitation, class oppression and the resulting class opposition, and exposes the evils of semi-feudal and semi-colonial society. Among the complicated contradictions and conflicts, the class conflict between the capitalist represented by Zhou Puyuan and the lower working people represented by Lu Shiping is the most essential conflict. The existence and development of this contradiction determines the existence and development of other contradictions.

But when we analyze the characters, we can't just grasp the main contradiction and say that Zhou Puyuan is hypocritical and cold, and everything will be fine; Because Zhou Puyuan has various relationships with others, it is impossible not to affect his ideological character, so he should be complicated. We must pay attention to his complexity when analyzing, so as to make a comprehensive and accurate answer.

(2) Taste the characters' language and grasp the characters' images.

Drama language is another important factor. Characters' personalities and relationships are mainly expressed by language, so we must savor it carefully.

The language of drama characters has these main characteristics: highly personalized; Rich subtext; Full of action.

A. Grasping individuality: Personalized language means that the language of a character conforms to and expresses the identity and individuality of the character. That is, who said what; You can tell a person by his voice. Personalized language is an important means to portray characters in order to achieve rationality and authenticity.

Example: When Yuan was taken to the execution ground, the executioner was asked to take the back street instead of the front street. What role did this detail play in shaping the image of Dou E?

If you are a scholar, you will be tilted to the right by the left side of my cangue button, and I will be pulled. My Dou E has something to say to my brother.

[Executioner Ziyun] What do you have to say?

[Zheng Dan sings] Go to the front street with a grudge and die in the back street for no reason. Don't delay.

【 Executioner Ziyun 】 What did you think when you told me to go back to the street just now?

I am afraid of being seen by my mother-in-law in Qianjie.

[Executioner Ziyun] You don't care about your life. What are you afraid of?

[Zheng] If my mother-in-law sees me going to the altar with a cangue, a lock and a knife,

[Singing] Angry Yao Ge in vain, angry Yao Ge in vain. Tell your brother that it is convenient for people to walk in danger.

Analysis: Talented dramatists are often good at capturing the details of life to reveal the inner world of characters. Throughout the whole play, while portraying Dou E's rebellious character, the author also pays attention to showing the gentle and kind side of the characters one by one. When she went to the execution ground, she begged the executioner to take the back street instead of the front street. It can be seen that on the way to death, Dou E is thinking about how not to make her old and lonely mother-in-law sad. The more playwrights portray her kindness, the more they show her grievances, and the more they sympathize with her resistance and struggle. Therefore, the description of this detail makes the characters more plump and moving, and the criticism of feudal society is more powerful.

B, dig deep into the meaning: the subtext is that there is something in the words, meaning intentional, and there is a sound outside the string. In fact, it is a polysemy phenomenon in language. "Hidden" means hidden. That is, the superficial meaning of language contains other meanings that are unwilling or inconvenient to say. Subtext not only fully embodies the charm of language, but also gives us a glimpse of the rich inner world of characters.

In Thunderstorm, Lu Shiping said, "You are Ping ... Why did you hit my son?" What's changed in this line? What kind of psychology does this change show the characters?

Lu Dahai (struggling) Let me go, you robbers!

Zhou Ping (outsider) pull him down!

Lu Shiping (crying) is really a group of robbers! (walks up to Zhou Ping) You are Ping ... Why did you hit my son?

Analysis: Lu Shiping's language has meaning and unfinished words here. The word "Ping" here has different meanings. "Ping" is the call of mother and the embodiment of family affection. It means: you are my own son, the brother of the sea, you can't beat your own brother ... but at this moment, Shi Ping soon realized that Zhou Ping's position and his education would not allow Zhou Ping to admit such a low-ranking mother, and she couldn't tell their kinship, and she clearly felt sharp class opposition, so she suppressed her painful feelings and used homophonic words to cover it up. It fully expresses Lu Shiping's complex thoughts and feelings of pain, disappointment and resentment.

C. Imagination supplement: Action language is also called plot language, which means that the language flow of characters (communication and confrontation between characters' languages) plays a role in promoting or suggesting the development of story plot. It is not static, it is the embodiment of the inner strength of the characters in the development of the plot.

Example: "Stop for a long time, adjust the buds, don't put diamonds, steal people's faces and tease colorful clouds." How can you show your whole body? "What characteristics can you see from this lyric?

Analysis: She meditated first, then tidied up her ornaments, then squinted, and was surprised to find that she secretly reflected herself in the mirror, and then Xu Buxiang became a lady. This lyric contains many beautiful performances: turning around, shaking sleeves, stepping off, and concentrating.

(3) Read the stage description carefully to understand the drama plot.

Stage description: it is a description that helps actors master the plot and prompts them to perform some key points. The contents of the explanation are about time, place, characters, scenes, actions and expressions of characters in scenes, appearances and exits of characters in scenes, "effects", opening and closing, and so on.

What is the role of the "stage description" at the beginning of Thunderstorm?

After lunch, the weather was gloomy, and the hotter and wetter air suppressed the people in the room, which made people restless.

Park Gao lit a Luzon cigarette and saw the raincoat on the table. Zhou Puyuan: (lighting a Luzon cigarette, looking at the raincoat on the table and asking Mama Lu) Is this the raincoat my wife found?

Lu Shiping: (looking at him) Maybe.

Zhou Puyuan: No, no, these are all new. I want my old raincoat. You can talk to my wife later.

Analysis: This "stage description" explains the time and stage atmosphere of the story. This kind of atmosphere closely cooperates with the plot, which sets off the characters' irritability and depression, and indicates the arrival of a thunderstorm. It can not only depict the characters completely, but also infect readers or viewers and produce a sense of oppression. This is the same as the environmental description in the novel.
