1 Know what the original routine is
Such as princess drama routines: handsome men and beautiful women - love each other - men save women - live together happily.
War movie routine: The two opposing sides - hate each other - attack each other - Armageddon - one of the parties is unable to fight again, the war is over.
2 Change one or two of the points
Such as Anti- Routine Princess Drama: Men Are Not Handsome / Women Are Not Beautiful ~ Shrek
Female saves male ~ Extraordinarily heroic princess
The ending is not together~ (actively choose not to be together, not forced) If the princess is together with another princess (wrong)
Anti-routine war drama: do not hate each other~ Welcome to Dongmo Village in this drama
Don't attack each other~ Set a reason that the two parties who should attack each other are unwilling to attack (voluntary (such as self-respect, embezzlement, cooperation for money) or involuntary), or unable to attack
There is no big battle~ The two sides have been preparing for a lonely battle, and the decisive battle has been cancelled or both sides are preparing for the battle or there is no hostility at the beginning, and now the misunderstanding is clarified
The war cannot be over~ Neither side can eliminate the other side or the victor is unwilling to end the war (for example, the military relies on the war itself for profit) or the two big bosses behind them are unwilling to end the war
3 It is best not to change the most fundamental point of this type
Such as the love in the princess drama, the two sides in the war drama are hostile. If the audience's expectations for the original routine are lost, there will be no surprises for the anti-routine.

Exercise: Inspirational Sports Drama
The original routine: the protagonist has a low starting point - set a goal - progress / hinder the spiral - and finally succeed. Core: the rising process of struggle
Anti-routine: high starting point ~ The protagonist is a genius, and if you get started, you will be invincible (One Punch Man)
There is no goal set~ The protagonist has no goal from beginning to end, and does not want to develop in this direction, but is always pushed forward on this road by accident
It didn't work out in the end~ The protagonist tries his best, but loses the whole game (really nothing, not winning the game despite losing). million dollar baby
