I just played this old drama. Actually, I have no feelings for a male character like Do Minjun, but I think from the screenwriter's point of view, Korean idol dramas really have a set of skills, and their skills are very mature, which is very worth learning from domestic life dramas and idol dramas. .
People say that if you watch the first three episodes of a TV series, if you don't watch the first three episodes, it's hard to get up.
In these three episodes, all the characters, drama contradictions, and relationships between people should be fully explained, so that the audience can become familiar with and like the characters in the drama, and then they will be interested in listening to your voice and emotions.
And "You Who Came From The Stars", I think, did it completely in the first episode, with a total duration of less than an hour.
This is not a solid screenwriting skills, and you can't do it at all.
If you are interested, go back and take a closer look at the plot settings of the first episode.
This episode, the first 8 minutes, tells the story of the hero who saved the ancient heroine, and then explained that he came from an alien planet. With the camera flashing back to the present, he sat at the table and expressed his love for human beings like an interview. A series of views on life, and then he learned that in three months, he was going back to his planet.
First of all, why is it not good to set a cross-line and only play the story of the modern male and female protagonists?
First, it conforms to the past and present life of "love" that we understand subconsciously, aggravating the sense of mystery and romance, and paving the way for the final outcome.
Without this love that travels through time and space, the final open ending would be abrupt.
The final conclusion is that Qian Songyi will always wait, forever and ever. Because of the previous love that travels through time and space, the audience will be optimistic about Qian Songyi's waiting, and she will wait until he, She can wait for him, after all miracles happened before.
Second, it conforms to the character logic that the male protagonist will easily help the modern heroine countless times later.
Just imagine a man who has lived for 400 years and has watched his life and death for several generations. He is already convinced that he cannot intervene in life itself, so why would he break his principles and help a stranger, without him, initially just Because she was like the one he remembered.
In this short eight minutes, he talked about the relationship between men and women, the character values of the male protagonist, and also threw out dramatic contradictions. He is about to leave the earth, only three months away! Leaving the audience in suspense, he is about to meet the heroine, what should he do, can he still leave?
It's a pretty succinct and powerful eight minutes.
Then came the heroine.
Eighth to sixteenth minutes.
The same eight minutes introduce the heroine.
The heroine appeared on the stage while waiting for the boot, and many people gathered around her to take pictures, explaining her career and her career situation (she is very popular at the moment!), this is a macro impression!
Then the camera was pulled to the person, the heroine asked for a cup of coffee, took a selfie, and handed it to the assistant next to her to drink, for fear of gaining weight, and that cup of coffee, she also lied and pretended to be coercive, saying that the coffee was made by a big man, sent to the online platform.
Continue to explain the profession in depth (only artists will pay such attention to body management) and slowly show the heroine's character, vanity, etc., but this character, at this time, still belongs to the general star character and belongs to the commonality.
Then she posted the wrong common sense question, was mocked by the Internet group, and the brokerage company was annoyed to death. If she asked her to stop posting, she said no.
Look, she is still explaining her professional attributes, the pressure and aura she bears, and she has gradually penetrated into her own personality. Qian Songyi's personality has begun to distinguish ordinary female stars. Narcissism is superior, and she is a little confused and funny. She has no scheming, is childish, doesn't like reading books, and her education level is not high. It will pave the way for her to study in the future and then connect with the male protagonist. The characters in the commonality begin to emerge.
This kind of career introduction is rarely at this level in domestic life dramas, and many times our characterization stays on the concept.
For example, many lawyers, the script sets her to be a lawyer, but it is impossible to tell from the character's behavior that she is a lawyer .
For example, Andy in "Ode to Joy", you can't feel her professional identity from her behavior and events, such as He Han in "The First Half of My Life", you can't feel him from his behavior The professionalism of the character, when it comes to love, you can lose your life, which is a fatal injury to the character setting.
These eight minutes are amazing!
The background characters of the male and female protagonists have been explained. As an idol drama, what are the next steps that are very urgent?
Let the characters meet.
Some idol dramas have been performed for five episodes, and the male and female protagonists have not met...
It's a rhythm problem.
How do the characters meet?
"You Who Came From The Stars" is set up with two people living next door, which is a common setting for a love drama, but the first encounter between the two is really excellent!
A very wonderful elevator scene, from 16 minutes to less than 19 minutes, less than three minutes of scenes.
Let's take a screenshot.
Qian Songyi thought that Du Minjun was her follower, and then there were all kinds of "Why, do you have a crush on me? I knew I was good-looking" Balabala...and Du Minjun was speechless to this god-like woman, The scene is awkward.
This is drama.
contrast.
The contrast between self-knowledge and each other's knowledge.
And this contrast is in line with the character's character. Du Minjun has lived for 400 years. It is normal for him to have no interest in a female star. From Qian Songyi's perspective, how can there be anyone in the world who is not interested in me?
who I am?
I'm Qian Songyi! The famous female star!
It's the character's character that drives the story, not the screenwriter's deliberately screwing up such a funny scene.
And this scene continues to explain in depth the different character characteristics of the male and female protagonists in reverse.
19 minutes to 25 minutes, six minutes to explain what?
The relationship between the second girl and the first girl, the so-called friend, the second girl always lives in the shadow of the first girl, and the contradictions are surging under the calm surface. The younger brother appeared, the teenager was rebellious, and he had conflicts with his family, and continued to deepen the character of the female lead.
Qian Songyi is a big star, behind a broken family, a vain and profligate mother, and a rebellious and unruly brother.
The emergence of family conflicts, coupled with career pressure, paved the way for Qian Songyi's emotional collapse.
From the 26th minute to the 30th minute, what do you tell me in five minutes?
The hero and heroine meet for the second time.
Qian Songyi sang at home, but Du Minjun couldn't sleep. He knocked on the door to tell her not to sing, Qian Songyi told Du Minjun about her emotions.
In this scene, he first adjusted the hero's view of the heroine. When he was in the elevator, he only thought she was ridiculous, like an idiot, but at this time, he had understanding and pity for her. It belongs to the "turning point" of the character's emotional relationship.
The second is to deepen Qian Songyi's character characteristics again, as a big star.
From the 31st minute to the 34th minute, when everyone was mocking Qian Songyi for having a common sense problem, Qian Songyi was forced to go to school and continued to foreshadow her relationship with Du Minjun, who was the professor of that class.
From the 35th minute to the 38th minute, the second male appeared, explaining that he loved Qian Songyi for a long time, and his family power. His second brother appeared, and the biggest villain in the whole film appeared.
From the 39th minute to the 45th minute, the hero and heroine met for the third time.
Qian Songyi goes to school, and the professor is Do Minjun.
For Qian Songyi, it is to reverse the memory of both parties, and for Do Minjun, it is to deepen the impression of the other party.
To Qian Songyi, this person turned out to be a professor. It was not the first time she met the brain-dead group chaser she thought, nor was it the second time she met a bad person among the people she thought scolded her.
For Do Minjun, why is it you again?
In 47 minutes, it was explained that the second girl liked the second man, and the second man's thoughts were all on Qian Songyi, and the contradiction was ambush again.
From the 48th minute to the 57th minute, the hero and heroine look back on the past 12 years at the same time.
12 years ago, he had saved her once because she looked like the girl from ancient times.
The male protagonist is about to leave the earth and wants to see the girl he saved 12 years ago for the last time. As for the female protagonist, although she no longer remembers what the person who saved her looked like, she feels that the feeling is like her first love...
The first episode is over. At this point, the relationships and emotions of the characters who should appear have all appeared and have a trend. The characters have distinct personalities. The male and female protagonists have met three times, and the "curiosity" of love has been established.
And it only took less than an hour!
Who says Korean dramas are long-winded?
In fact, if you carefully rub its details, you will find that it is very accurate.
And this kind of accuracy is domestic production and needs to be explored.
