"Breaking Bad" has a wonderful opening, and half of it can’t help but press the pause to write a film review:

A middle-aged American man in crisis. He has been mediocre for half of his life, his son is disabled, his wife is pregnant with a second child, he scolds the student during class, and he goes to a part-time car wash after get off work.

On the birthday party, he is not the protagonist, the protagonist is the brother-in-law (because he is the policeman and he has solved the big case, this is the same in China, any party surrounded by the center may not be the protagonist in theory, but in the society. The best person). In the evening, his wife absently helped him (instead of rolling the sheets), and he himself could not stand up for a long time...

The next day, he was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. Since then, his temperament has changed drastically, he dared to fight punks, and he dared to make drugs. However, the first business failed to do business and was given to him by other drug dealers... I couldn't do it cleanly. The psychological construction did a good job but nothing happened (forgot to open insurance).

There are also a lot of wonderful details worthy of taste. In just a half episode, the image of the life of a middle-aged American man in crisis is portrayed to the extreme. This half of the episode can win the best short film award. And it can be foreseen that it will be more exciting in the future.

    Yes, not only this one is good. American drama screenwriting techniques are worth learning. The protagonist has a troublesome trouble, and the story has ductility. The background of the characters and the change of mentality can be expressed in a simple play, and many of our plays rely on the actors to tell them, so what else can we play? , that the storytelling is good. Of course, there is still professionalism in this play, and it is worth watching.
