Chapter 1820: 1820 Script Structure

As Hugo's conception of the neighbor became clear, his conception of the heroine immediately became clearer.

The heroine can be a waiter in a restaurant. Her connection with the hero comes from the restaurant where she works. A waiter who can satisfy the hero's request one by one.

But why? Obviously not the magical effect in the love story, the hero and heroine just fell in love with each other, and the sparks between each other brought the two sides together. Hugo refused to write such a script. There is a reason why the heroine can satisfy many unreasonable and troublesome demands of the hero, and even has an extra tolerance.

Because she...has a son with asthma. Asthma is still an incurable disease even in the 21st century, because it is a disease of the respiratory tract, so it is very sensitive to the air, but the fact is that as a waiter, she does not have enough money to replace a good apartment and cannot Provide better medical conditions, so she can only create the best living conditions for her son in her narrow and damp apartment. Her son has caused irreparable damage, and even a change in the weather can make her son very hard.

This is New York - Hugo intends to set the story background in New York, where the weather is changeable, not only because it is the capital of the world, but also because it is a city full of countless possibilities. It is difficult to imagine such an intricate city to accommodate this. story. In this city, countless people with eccentricities live together, but it is difficult for people to be compatible with each other. What's worse, because of the busy life and pressing pressure in this city, there is a lack of care among people. , even the most basic warmth dissipated little by little in the raging sea breeze of the Atlantic Ocean.

This is actually a metaphor, not only a metaphor for the current social relationship, but also a background for the hero, neighbor, and heroine to be alone.

Living in New York made life even harder for her son. It is precisely because of the child that she cannot have her own life at all. She has to revolve around the child 24 hours a day, so she has no time of her own and no life of her own. Even if you occasionally meet a good date, you will eventually die because of the child.

She felt lonely and powerless, and she also longed for someone who could truly understand her and give her support. But she is also strong enough, unlike the hero and her neighbors, she needs to be strong for the children, if necessary, she will fight against the weasel desperately like a hen protecting the chicks.

In the eyes of the hero, she is special; but in her eyes, the hero is just a child, a child like her son.

So, the story happened like this.

He only leaves home once a day, just to go to that restaurant for lunch, and he only accepts her services; she does her best to meet his requirements, but sometimes she is powerless and even gets angry at him, but In the end, she will choose to compromise, because she needs this job, and she needs funds to maintain her son's life.

But this balance was broken one day, because a cold snap came to New York, and the child fell ill and had a high fever all night. She didn't come to work, and as a result, he made a big fuss in the restaurant, which made everyone feel uneasy. Out of selfishness—his difficult demands no one in the restaurant could satisfy, and out of concern—he longed to see her, though he didn't understand why, so he found her home himself.

There is only one wall between him and his neighbor, but he never cares who is next door. He even hates the neighbor because the neighbor has a dog-he can't accept the dirty appearance of the puppy. One day, the puppy squatted at the door of his house. As if he was facing a big enemy, he carefully threw the puppy down the trash hole, and then fled back home. As a result, the neighbor came to the door in anger. Although he softened the neighbor with his vicious words, things still changed.

When the neighbor was working, he accidentally encountered a gangster who not only cleaned his house, but also severely injured him—even disfigured him. When he went bankrupt, he was also homeless, and even sold his artwork. not going out. When the neighbor was hospitalized, he entrusted the puppy to his house. He wanted to refuse, but was forced to agree under the threat of the neighbor's vicious black agent. Then, his life began to change.

This is a good story about three lonely people with eccentricities who come together, not only between the hero and heroine, but also the neighbor's story. However, the neighbor and the heroine accidentally became friends. All three are marginal figures in this society, but they get together by accident. They test each other, run in with each other, and change each other, trying to survive in the cruel and cold society.

Thanks to Charlize's inspiration, Hugo completed the structure of the entire script intermittently. It can be said that Hugo is very satisfied with this structure, but he is still trying to set the personality of the protagonist. He hopes that the character can be more three-dimensional. Since Hugo intends to play the leading actor himself, he also began to conceive a biography for the leading actor—a story outside the script, hoping to further explore the core theme of the story. For this reason, Hugo had to start reading some psychological stories. learning books.

Hugo has not eagerly started to get into the real creation of the script, because Hugo hopes to write this script as a light comedy, just like a comedy full of wisdom like Billy Crystal and Robin Williams, maybe It can't make people laugh out loud, just a knowing smile is enough. This requires profound line skills, and at the same time, the understanding of culture, humor, history, society, etc. must also reach a certain level. That's why really good comedy is so hard to write.

Hugo has been working hard to build the character's personality in order to achieve this goal. When a character is complete and full, when and what actions he should make, what words he should say, and what gestures he should show, will naturally come to life on the paper. This is a good thing for the script, not only will it be rich and three-dimensional, but also the background will be very deep, but for the screenwriter, this is a huge burden.

Strictly speaking, this script creation is the first time that Hugo actually conceived a script from scratch. Many excellent scripts start with a character, an event, or an idea, and then burst out with amazing sparks of inspiration, and then finish slowly, thus forming an excellent story.

But such excellent scripts are becoming less and less in the 21st century. In fact, every filmmaker knows that the script is the foundation of a work and the most important thing. A good script can greatly increase the chances of a movie's success, but trying to salvage a bad script is like going to heaven. However, with the advent of the era of blockbuster movies, scripts became more and more simple and rough, and visual effects took the lead, so the status of screenwriters dropped again and again, which first led to the 2008 Hollywood screenwriter strike, and then the adaptation method became popular in the script market, and original excellent scripts Fewer and fewer.

This time, Hugo hopes to do his best to create a script that truly belongs to him. Of course, his current ability is still limited. Whether the script can be called excellent, the result still needs to be judged by others. He just wants to create Do your best in the process.

That kind of inspiration collided quickly. He reawakened Hugo’s enthusiasm for creation, and he even wrote the lyrics of the song created at London’s Heathrow Airport last year, tentatively named it “Save. Rock. And. Roll” , Of course, it can also be translated as "save rock".

"I need a little more dreaming and a little less living; I need a little more light in that darkness. You'll never see the tears in my heart, so go to hell! You can cry until you cry and let me go. You It's who you love, not what others love to see you in, and in a world surrounded by cries of 'yes,' I hear a roar: No, no!"

In Ernst, Hugo saw too many realistic portrayals of dreams, art, and the future.

Many people say that dreams are unrealistic, because dreams are divorced from reality, making life off the ground and becoming illusory, and even cause many lives to be submerged by the torrent of life and die early. There are countless such dreamers in the long river of history, famous and unknown, there are simply too many to count.

But in fact, the reason why life is wonderful is because of pursuit. Regardless of whether the goal you pursue is finally achieved, this kind of persistent and crazy persistence because of your dream is the true meaning of life. In Greek mythology, when Icarus escaped from Crete using wings made of wax and feathers, he flew too high and the wax on his wings was melted by the sun, so he fell into the water and died.

Some people say that Icarus is overconfident and overwhelmed, but from another angle, you can see the fantastic ideas of Icarus and his father Daedalus. Only those who dare to think can realize their dreams. Perhaps, Icarus' escape plan failed in the end, but at least he was a dreamer.

So, "I need to dream a little more and live a little less." So, "Where the footsteps go, trouble will follow, only the connection is kept in rock, rock rock, no! Wherever the footsteps go, Go! Trouble will follow, only integration is kept in the rock!"

The fanaticism and persistence of the rock dream run wildly in Hugo's blood. Although the composition of the melody has not been completed yet, the completion of the whole song has reached 70%, and it may be completely completed in the near future. This also made Hugo more enthusiastic about writing the script this time, and he couldn't wait to finish the script.

This kind of enthusiasm is really long gone.
