Chapter 9: Three-Act Structure(2/2)
"Pu Jie, do you know why I left you alone?"
Oh! Look at these bad lines,
From primary school teachers to university teachers, no word has changed!
"Uh...I don't know very well, Teacher Wang"
Wang Xiang took out a stack of A4 paper and threw it on Pu Jie's hand.
"Look, look at the good articles you wrote, which are 300,000 words. They are actually some plain language and vulgar words. This is how the teacher teaches you to write novels?"
"Be popular, don't be vulgar, don't be sensational"
"You are still young and can create better works. Don't give up on yourself and destroy your future."
Pu Jie took it into his hand and saw it was the first 10 chapters of "The Son-in-law of the Urban Dragon King".
There are various modifications written by Wang Xiang in red pen,
A large area of dense
The number of words modified is no less than the main text.
"Teacher Wang, this..."
Wang Xiang said angrily: "If you didn't think you were a little hardworking as I had back then, and you wrote this kind of article and handed in your homework, I would have liked to transfer the department directly to you."
"Come on, take a look at these first ten chapters. Tell me, where is the structure of the classic three-act sermon for script creation?"
"Uh... others provoke, the protagonist slaps in the face, and the villain regrets it. Is this considered a three-act ceremony..."
Pu Jie looked at the instructor's face and his voice became smaller and smaller.
"This is the new three-act sermon you summarized? On average, after writing a three-act sermon in 2 chapters, should I praise you?"
Pu Jie said modestly: "No need"
"Are you still modest? Come and learn from me the real three-act structure."
"Act 1: revealing the background, clarifying the protagonist, predicting conflict, and providing suspense; Act 2: Conflict occurs, encountering failure, clarifying the goal; Act 3: Uncovering the foreshadowing, resolving conflict, and sublimating the theme. This is the orthodox three-act sermon! Look at what you wrote! A turnkey account!"
Pu Jie tried to substitute his own story,
"Teacher Wang, look, actually... I also have a complete three-act sermon!"
"Act 1: Showing the background: a wealthy family. Clarify the protagonist: marrying into a son-in-law. Predicting conflict: discovering his wife cheating. Providing suspense: Will the mother-in-law discipline his wife?"
"Act 2: The conflict occurs: The protagonist is bullied by his wife's family. Failure: The mother-in-law and his wife collude to cuckold him. Clearly target: This family is not waiting!"
"Act 3: Unveiling the foreshadowing: Why do the tough guy like the protagonist be a son-in-law? Resolving the conflict: The Dragon King is sent to the royal family, dares to humiliate the Dragon King? Sublimation theme: The Dragon King's crooked mouth"
Instructor Wang Xiang was stunned.
Thinking for a moment,
I found out that what Pu Jie said made some sense!
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
The scene fell silent for a while...
After a moment,
Wang Xiang said angrily: "You guy has a lot of fallacies, but the teacher can tell you responsibly that based on my 30 years of screenwriter experience, it is impossible for someone to buy the adaptation rights for a novel like yours."
"And as far as I know, your grades at Kaidian are also very poor, which proves that most of the book friends at Kaidian are not buying it. Look back and take a look at the changes I have proposed to you. Follow this idea and review the article more, and the grades should be improved."
"But... don't think about adapting it into a film and television work."
Pu Jie glanced at the instructor's dense revisions and annotations, which was a little moved.
If you didn’t really care about you, who would be willing to criticize you so seriously?
"Okay instructor, I will look good."
Just look at it, it is impossible to change it.
The instructor sentenced him to death for the adaptation of this road, blocking him a possible path to success.
Prove that his strategy of playing tricks this time has worked completely!
The system was completely played with by him.
Just wait and count the money.
The instructor took a few steps, retreated again, and said angrily:
"Are you poisonous? You don't care if you scold your books so much. Why do you delete my comments and ban my words?"
Pu Jie instantly remembered the reader named "Daxiang" who posted two consecutive comments...
"Ah, this! Teacher Wang, are you looking at it too?"
"Hmph~ Start a high-level VIP, what do you think!"
The instructor left proudly with the female assistant teacher.
