Ogus watched Renly quietly, he could feel the huge system behind the whole topic of Renly. The content itself did not have much unique intentions, but it was able to explain the ins and outs of the whole story in a clear and clear frame, starting from the source, And then grow into a towering tree, which is very rare.

"So did you take a screenwriting course? Or a directing course?"

The curiosity in Oggs' mind grew wildly like weeds, and then he couldn't hold it back, and the question popped up like this - when the question came out, Oggs could detect the anomaly, but his eyes still remained. He couldn't help staring at Renly, gleaming, waiting for Renly's answer.

"..." Renly also opened his mouth slightly in a rare sight: that's not the point, okay? But looking at Oggs' eyes, he knew that this eccentric was serious, so he restrained his surprise and responded solemnly:

"No, I just started thinking from the starting point of the role. As you said, this society is very complex, and everyone must have a reason for the formation, and everyone can be a mirror of this society. If we If you want the story to be simple, a bifurcated script is the best choice; but if you want the story to be complex, every character is important. I didn't take a screenwriting course, I'm just an actor - and a thinker Actors with a bit too much content."

Oggs pursed his lips slightly, but he didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't express his position, but changed the subject, "Then after completing the setting according to your ideas, how will you arrange the role of David? ?"

"According to the background setting of the whole story, different people may have different reactions, some people still believe in love, but choose to hide themselves and obey the system; some people refuse to believe in love, and use rules and regulations to plan everything, and so on, no doubt , human nature is complex."

"But the more complex the story setting, the simpler the character's motivation needs to be, so that the complexity can be reflected, just like more colors can be presented on a white canvas. So, I think David's setting should be simple. , allowing viewers to apply more color after viewing the film.”

"David believes in love, he believes in love purely and firmly, even a little stupid, which makes him out of tune with the entire social system - because most people are used to the existing system, his persistence has become a joke , the result is: he can't find the object more and more."

"But according to the regulations, after the age of 18, if you don't have a partner, you must go to the hotel. So David's brother found a pretend partner for him. The two got married but never had children, so they spent time with each other. For many years. One day, his wife chose to leave—"

"As for the reason for leaving, I think it can be set, but because the script can't reflect it, it may not have much impact. For example, she left for love, she fell in love with a person and left for him. David, but ended up being abandoned and converted into an animal."

"These are negotiable, you can add or not add them, but after adding them, I think you can reveal one or two sentences in the script, which will become more interesting; but if you don't add them, it doesn't matter. , anyway, she left David."

Having said that, Oggs interrupted Renly, "Why do you think she left David for love? Not for other reasons?"

"That's the character setting." Renly showed a big smile, "If she chooses to leave for love, it will inspire David, who is an idealist, and make him refuse. Compromise - Look, even after David's brother got divorced and couldn't find a partner, he failed to go to the hotel and was turned into a dog, but he still refused to compromise and was sent to the hotel without finding true love. This is certainly an interesting development. More importantly…”

"More importantly, he later learned that his ex-wife was also transformed into an animal. This is another reversal. So should he believe in love or not?" of.

In fact, Orgus was still not persuaded by Renly - he was a very, very stubborn person, but Renly's sincere discussion still moved him, which is why he took the initiative to invite Renly to tell his own setting. Wanted to hear Renly's thoughts, but didn't expect:

With Renly's words, Oggs' thoughts were opened up bit by bit, he finally understood the meaning of love, simplified David's role, and then derived different possibilities from this simple starting point. Brother, David's ex-wife, they can all become different refracting surfaces in this society, and ultimately become the trigger point for the audience to think.

Leaving aside Oggs' prejudice against Renly, what is certain is that Renly is indeed a very good actor--

As he just said, the ability to analyze a character from an actor's point of view, and from this character to extend branches toward the entire story background and social framework, and build the entire blueprint, is enough to surprise the director; of course , Renly's idea is not necessarily accurate or perfect, which is why Renly proposed the idea and then discussed it with the director. He threw out inspiration and asked the director to think together. a level he could never reach in his lifetime.

However, Oggs still doesn't quite understand: how is Renly going to use David to connect the hotel and the forest, and finally reflect it on society?

It's a framing issue, not just a role issue, so how does Renly see the big picture from a role level?

Just now, Oggs couldn't help but take the initiative to take Renly's topic and express his opinion, the inspiration storm in his mind could not stop at all.

"Or, she left David for money, because the family is a product of the system, so the combination of interests is normal, but it turned out that being with David was more restrictive, so that she began to rethink love. Definition? Even returning to find David compounded?"

"No no no, this is too simple and cliché, and the whole theme is based on love, which shouldn't be the case. Do you think we should set up the role of David's ex-wife? Let the ex-wife also come to the hotel and try to have a relationship with the big brother. Wei Fufu? Or are you looking for love here again?"

These are all Oggs's own words, and the last sentence raised his eyes to look at Renly, and cast a questioning look; Renly also responded accordingly.

"I don't think it's a good idea. I think the ex-wife is still hidden in the dialogue and left to the audience to think, which is the best. But I think it can be set, because of the whole system, society does not exclude third parties, no matter what Whether it is marriage or divorce, as long as it can be maintained in a relatively stable state, it is allowed and even encouraged, which is also a very important supplement to the background of the whole story. Therefore, the departure of David's ex-wife is also Of course, this can lead to more thinking.”

Renly's words once again cast a fire in Oggs' mind, and he couldn't contain his excitement.

But this time, Oggs controlled himself and waved his hands again and again, "The ex-wife can wait a little longer. The background that extends from here is really too huge. Where did we just say? About David?"

"Divorce." Renly immediately connected, "About the time when David's brother failed to be converted into a dog, and the time of divorce, these settings can be further refined and deepened. The impact of these events on David is It exists objectively, but now we will focus on David's main line first."

"This goes back to the words we originally discussed: David is a man who has the ability to find a partner, but why didn't he find it? Was it an active willingness, or was it a passive situation? According to my conception, David is refusing to do it because he wants to To be able to find love, he believes in love."

"But unfortunately, he was an outlier, so he wasn't able to find him, and he was sent to the hotel. In the first part, David was proactive in finding a partner on different blind dates, but he was not able to succeed."

"Wait!" Oggs interrupted Renly, "This doesn't fit the setting of the hotel part. According to our conception, David's performance in the hotel is more often pretending to be in the group. Part of that, he even found a mate, remember? It just didn't make it through the identification period, and it turned out he was in disguise."

"Yeah, that's the point." Renly nodded, "Everything we discussed earlier doesn't appear in the movie, so when David first appeared, he was cold and distant, and then he sensed death. Threats, he began to take the initiative to attack, even disguising himself, after being seen through, he chose to escape the hotel and enter the forest. So, what is the reason for all this? This is what we hope the audience can understand.”

Because of love.

Oggs didn't speak, but raised his chin slightly, and now he finally got a glimpse of Renly's entire big picture:

David's setting is relatively simple: struggling because of love - from the beginning to the end, and then using David as a mirror to reflect different levels of society through his struggles, including the hotel and the forest, different institutional projections In David, different results have evolved, which is also the beginning and end of the story. Through David's reaction in the story, the huge content set by the screenwriter is revealed little by little.

This is where the charm of the character lies!

"So, David fled to the forest." Oggs continued.

"So, David came to the forest." Renly went on to say that this is the first part of the script; and the reason why Renly raised objections before was that the peeling and separation of the first and second parts of the script resulted in In the end, the core idea has not been able to be condensed, so how should the second part develop now?
