Make up a draft of the novel "They are not saints"

I plan to write a novel called "Ain't Them Bodies Saints". The story begins like this: in a faraway place. A couple lives on this vast land. Like many ordinary young couples, these couples are full of longing for life.

I think for you, you might be able to imagine their story. If that day did not happen, their life would be ordinary. According to my original plan, they would give birth to a girl, and then drag the child to grow up, and then continue to work overtime, retire, die of old age, and the story ends. But considering that this story will be made into a movie in the future, and I don’t like the "one place chicken feather" writing style of modern Chinese writer Liu Zhenyun, so I need to write the story more exciting, to what extent, in fact it is completely Not in me, as long as the story begins, the rest will be left to the protagonist inside, and I have no right to intervene. In addition, if this article is really going to be the day when the movie is filmed, as for what changes the director will make, I can't help it. Of course, as long as I insist, the initiative lies with me. However, as long as I am a stinky old man who is only born for money, as long as he can get the ticket, he will make any changes to the director. I won't have any complaints.

Now, I came up with a good idea. I just need to throw these two young couples into jail, provided that they need to rob. Because prison robbery cases are very common in our country, I need Hollywood style, which requires them to rob a bank. Wall Street seems to be too ostentatious, and I don't want to write it as "The Dark Knight Rises", so set it up as an ordinary small savings bank. There is no need to render the robbery, I am not writing a blockbuster script. My purpose is to write a prototype of an independent film script, a niche one, and it is best to get a ranking in the most famous independent film festival in our country.

The next episode needs to be like this, they have to fight the police. It is more romantic at dusk, which can highlight the sense of tragedy and reduce the blood. I heard that there is a relatively well-known Liezi in China. There was a hero named Xiang Yu who rose up against the government. He was defeated and killed in the end. If I can set the time, I hope it will be dusk.

As a result of the rush, the young couple were caught. Because many policemen were killed, the men had to be sentenced to life, and the women because they were pregnant and did not beat anyone, as long as they were exempted from punishment.

This story seems to be quite general, and I heard that there is also such a story in China. This story is a bit older. Feng Menglong in the Ming Dynasty once sorted out this story, and then many people put it on the screen. This story is called "Water Over the Golden Mountain", and it is relatively well-known in China. One of the well-known reasons is that it involves the scientific proposition of "human-beast hybridization". The protagonist of this story is a story of a man and a white snake. After half of their story happened, this section of my design also appeared. In the current language, it is called "separation of two places", which has a similar meaning to "separation of yin and yang".

In prison, the man managed to escape because he was concerned about his wife and daughter outside. I need to think carefully about this place. I can no longer design the story into the mode of "Shawshank's Redemption". I need a higher IQ escape. I think the plot in "Shut Up You Shut Up" can be used for reference. I have some friendship with Jean Renault, maybe when I use the plot in his film and television works, he can talk to the production company.

Back to the story, the wife who stayed outside also missed her husband very much. It has been more than four years since they were separated, and the children have grown up. What wives are now more worried about is not the lack of parental love for their children, but what they should do after the husband ran out.

I need to insert an extramarital affair here. In order to make the story not boring, I design the client of the extramarital affair to be the wife and the sheriff who arrested the husband.

Now the husband ran out and found the huge amount of possessions he had hidden. More tragically, he was targeted by a group of robbers. I can tell you first, he is going to be killed by this group of robbers in the end.

Before he died, his wife fell in love with the sheriff. I need to give the story a proper ending. I don't want such a beautiful woman to remain a widow in the end. The sheriff is the most suitable candidate. He has an innocent background and has taken care of the widow and orphans for so many years. I think he should be given the reward he deserves. And others are also very good. When he found the trail of the actor, out of humane feelings, he chose to give up arresting him.

The robber needs to be killed by the husband, so the story seems self-consistent.

At the moment when the husband was dying, everyone in the story should have gathered together. Husbands, sheriffs, wives, and daughters, this idea I try to make readers feel pale and weak. I hope that when the time comes, the real pen can achieve this goal.

Supplement: This article is the author's draft, and the finished product has a lot of changes. Compared with the film works, the changes may be even greater.

I'm not sure if I should recommend this movie. I think the light of the film is well played, but some of the lens light is too dim to make people crazy; I think the film is cadenced and the plot rhythm is good, but the front of the speed switch suddenly changed to a donkey in the middle. The only thing I think is remarkable is its soundtrack, but after the film is over, I can't remember its tune. Anyway, this movie makes me at a loss when I want to make a review. If it is regarded as a work of a novice filmmaker, it is definitely an excellent work, but if it is used as a work of an old filmmaker, it looks a little bit Immature. If we look at it separately, its lighting, actor's acting skills, and themes are fairly good, but putting these things together, we feel that as part of the movie, each of these components has flaws, and it makes the whole movie seem inharmonious. .
