Courtyard: From out-of-print stamps to big collectors

Chapter 258

How old is the protagonist? Does she have parents, or is she an orphan?

Where did her environmental resistance, her opponent’s resistance, and her self-resistance come from?

What is her desire?

……

Cabbage and Wan Lanxiang were eating dinner slowly, asking questions, and then the two women answered these questions by themselves.

He Yuhao once mentioned to the two daughters that creating a story is actually a process of creating questions and then answering them.

Even if you don’t have a problem, find a way to create a problem.

The answer is the same. If you don’t have an answer, you have to find a way to come up with an answer.

Wan Lanxiang and Chinese cabbage, the two daughters created these problems after they came out.

The two women entered a state of contemplation.

pondered the answers to these questions.

How old is the protagonist?

He Yuhao said that the age of the protagonist of a movie script is not determined by the creator, but by the actor or director.

The actors He Yuhao mentioned are not ordinary actors, but star actors who have become famous.

For example, Li Shilong, Lin Jiushu and the others.

This is already equivalent to a custom script written for a certain star.

For the two women to write, they have no such qualifications to write custom scripts.

“Sister Lanxiang, let’s set this age at 40!”

“Although the teacher said that the age of the protagonist is not determined by the creator, but by the director or actor.”

“But we haven’t even written a book yet, so we are not qualified to write such a customized script.”

Wan Lanxiang thought about the placement of the cabbage and decided that it made sense, so she nodded and replied, “Okay! Cabbage, what you said makes sense, so just follow what you said!”

“The protagonist of our story is a woman. Who is she 40 years old, and then her family?”

“For the two of us who have just entered the industry, it is best that the identity and family relationship of the protagonist should not be too complicated, so I think so.”

“She is an orphan, she is 40 years old. So she has a lovely daughter, her daughter is very cute, sensible, obedient and obedient.”

“There are only two incidents in her life. One is to solve the case in the yamen, and the other is to protect her daughter from being hurt or hurt.”

When Wan Lanxiang said this, she paused.

I saw that she picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up a piece of pork belly, and gently put it into her mouth.

Chew slowly.

Wan Lanxiang chewed the pork belly in her mouth, looked up at the cabbage sitting opposite and asked, “Bok Choy, what do you think of my setting?”

“Uh-huh!”

Cabbage nodded and replied, “Sister Lanxiang is right. I also think it is for newcomers like us who have just entered the industry.”

“The protagonist’s identity, background, family relationship, etc. don’t need to be too complicated.”

“The protagonist has only one daughter, and she is the head of the yamen, so her identity and family relationship are very simple!”

“Sister Lanxiang, you said just now that she only does two things in her life. One is to solve crimes in the yamen and arrest the bad guys, and the other is that she wants to protect her daughter for the rest of her life.”

“Then we can design her desire to protect her daughter, what do you think?”

Cabbage also raised her head to look at Wan Lanxiang, who was sitting opposite, and asked this question. After asking, Cabbage lowered her head and picked up the rice in the bowl.

“Um!”

Hearing this, Wan Lanxiang responded, and then she fell into a state of contemplation.

Wan Lanxiang thought to herself, the desire of the protagonist of the story is to protect his daughter, is it not impossible.

But thisThe desires of women and children in the sanctuary are a little too simplistic.

He Yuhao once told the two women if he wanted to read a story, whether it was attractive.

In fact, it is very simple. There is only one way. You go to ten friends around you, tell your story to these ten friends, and see if they are interested in your story.

If your friends all ask you, what happens after the story?

Then this proves that your story is attractive and a good commercial film that can make money.

Conversely, if none of your ten friends like the story you tell, or if only three of your ten friends are interested in your story.

And the remaining seven friends feel that your story is too boring, and there is nothing to watch at all.

Then it means that the story you conceived is a failure story, a story of not making money.

Wan Lanxiang is sure that if she told ten friends, she would tell them an ancient story of a headhunter protecting her daughter.

These ten friends will definitely not turn their backs on you, because such a story is not attractive to them at all.

In order to verify this idea, Wan Lanxiang made ten calls to go out to his friends.

In the end, it was exactly as she thought, none of the ten friends on the other end of the phone were interested in such a story.

Just when Wan Lanxiang finished her tenth call and hung up.

Cabbage seems to have thought of something.

I saw the cabbage stopped eating and put the chopsticks in his right hand on the side of the rice bowl.

Cabbage looked up at Wan Lanxiang and asked a question: “¨. Sister Lanxiang, how about we change it?”

“Bok Choy, how do you want to change it?”

Cabbage replied, “We can do this. It’s too ordinary to catch the head to protect our daughter.”

“It always feels a little less meaningful. Otherwise, let’s just say that this female arrester has always wanted to sacrifice herself in solving cases or catching bad guys in order to protect her daughter.”

“She wants to die just to be able to protect her daughter.”

“An ancient yamen arrester wanted to die in the line of duty. The reason is that she wanted to protect her daughter.”

Hearing the last sentence of cabbage, Wan Lanxiang laughed and praised that cabbage is amazing. This change will make the story more interesting.

So Wan Lanxiang, who had just made ten phone calls to her friends not long ago, (Wang Zhao) picked up the phone again and dialed the numbers of the ten friends just now.

When Wan Lanxiang said this time, she was going to talk about an ancient yamen arrester who wanted to die in the line of duty. The reason is, she wants to protect her daughter.

When it came to such a story, her ten friends all showed great interest and kept asking Wan Lanxiang a question on the phone.

Why did this yamen’s head of the yamen have to die in the line of duty to protect her daughter?

Whenever a friend asks such a question on the phone, Wan Lanxiang will not be able to answer it for a while.

Because even she doesn’t know the answer to this question.

After putting down the phone, Wan Lanxiang thought of what He Yuhao once mentioned.

“Story creation is actually a constant creation of questions and answers.”

“Even if there is no problem, we must find a way to create a problem. If there is no answer, we must find a way to create an answer.”.
