Subtitle of this chapter: There are really many movies in Sanyi, such as...

Time went back to the night of December 12, 1920, and the location was still the two-story building in Brooklyn, and all the characters were released.

But when everything is here, what should be gone is about to leave.

Like most social occasions, big guys always come the latest and leave the earliest. The characters who can be called big guys in this party are naturally Mr. Brown, President of New York University Press and Mr. Pulitzer, editor-in-chief of Le Monde.

To be honest, as they are, if it weren't for the sake of their two beloved little daughters, it would have been a bit of a loss of points to attend the opening ceremony of such a magazine that was like a straw troupe.

Since they had already shown up, they had just socialized with a few acquaintances and prepared to say goodbye to the master and leave.

Just at this moment, they heard a noise on the sidelines at the same time. The two men argued loudly:

"Mr. Yuan, I really can't agree with your opinion. Movies are not dramas. How can screenwriters be more important than directors?"

"No, Mr. Fleming, please don't get me wrong. I mean that for some movies, screenwriters are more important than directors."

"Mr. Yuan, then what kind of movie is the screenwriter more important than the director?"

"Mr. Fleming, is this a question..."

Our Master Yuan is actually not the protagonist of this cocktail party. On the surface, "Women of the World" and "Window of the World" have nothing to do with him. "Scp" is in the name of Adult Ai Chuangye. Therefore, in theory, he is just an important guest.

He also tactfully did not show off, neither went on stage to deliver a speech, nor did he find a guy who didn't like him to argue. He adjusted his charm value to 16 points and focused his energy on making connections with important people.

But how could a man as cool as Yuan Yanshu have no interest in the limelight?

The colleagues in the film and television industry brought by Miss Lilian Jish had long known from the big stars that Mr. Griffith and Yuan Yanshu were about to join forces to shoot an audio movie, which naturally aroused the great interest of these people in the circle, so they enthusiastically discussed the shooting methods of audio movies with our Master Yuan.

Yuan Yan took this opportunity to start selling his "director-screenwriter binary system". Not to mention this timeline, not many people have heard of this timeline, so they were immediately questioned by others. The biggest doubter is a new director named Victor Fleming.

In fact, this guy was also quite famous later, and his most famous works were "The Wizard of Oz" and... "Gone with the Wind". However, Mr. Fleming is still just a young director who has just been transferred from a photographer.

In fact, as a photographer, he is quite famous. In 1911, he worked as a full-time photographer of the Intelligence Agency during World War I and accompanied the president to Europe as the chief photographer. The reason why he was in New York was to negotiate with the publisher about the publication of his album "President Wilson's Journey to Europe".

This gentleman became a photographer for Griffith last year and met Miss Lillian Gish.

Later, Mr. Victor Fleming's status in Hollywood was not low. When he mentioned the "Golden Age of Hollywood", he would definitely mention him. After all, he filmed the classic masterpiece "Gone with the Wind". The so-called Golden Age refers to the period when the film industry flourished against the trend after the Great Depression. "Gone with the Wind" was filmed in 1939, which is considered a classic of the Golden Age.

But he is called "Hollywood Super Craftsman", and this title is really not a compliment for an artist.

Only the wrong name is given, no wrong nickname is given. Now this "Hollywood Super Craftsman" is not that super, but it has begun to become a little craftsman.

In fact, there are many directors who are photographers, and these directors are all a bit craftsmanship. Movies are also called "the art of light and shadow". As photographers, they naturally pay more attention to the picture, and ignore the story and theme intentionally or unintentionally, so their works look gorgeous and empty on the outside.

Of course, if you are making commercial films, then a director like Mr. Victor Fleming is definitely more than enough. However, in addition to establishing a "director-screenwriter binary system", our Master Yuan also has the ambition to open up the aesthetic genre of "intellectual film".

But it's too early to say this now, Yuan Yanshu first wanted to convince everyone present.

He used to order a cigar... A great advantage of 1920 was that he could smoke in public places anytime, anywhere.

"Mr. Fleming, is this a question..." Our Master Yuan took a sip of cigarettes and said leisurely, "It's very simple. As long as it is a movie that conforms to the three laws, the screenwriter will definitely be more important than the director."

"Three-one rules?"

"Yes, three-one."

Well, if people in the film and television industry here don’t know Sanyilu, they can really die.

Triune is first proposed by Aristotle, who summarized the characteristics of ancient Greek drama into Triune, that is, the so-called time, place and plot. Therefore, threeunities are the earliest Western theories of drama structure.

In the seventeenth century, French classical drama theorist Bouvalo interpreted it as "a story that needs to be completed in one place and a day will be maintained from the beginning to the end." This rule is the golden rule of classical drama creation at that time.

However, in the 18th century, this theatrical theory was impacted by the "romanticism" represented by the famous French writer Victor Hugo, thus losing its dominance, and the dramatic situation became more colorful.

Director Fleming looked at his companions around him and said suspiciously: "Are there many movies that Mr. Yuan said are in line with the three laws now? Could it be..."

Yuan Yanshu interrupted him a little unceremoniously this time: "No, no, Mr. Fleming, the clumsy imitations you are talking about are either copying the stage play or simply being stupid comedy. What I am talking about is a true 'movie' script that conforms to the trinity and is full of dramatic tension."

He continued: "I look down on you directors, on the contrary, I admire you artists who turn 'light and shadow' into art. But I think there are some scripts that only have someone who knows a little about the director's business..."

Our Master Yuan suddenly pointed to the female star beside him and said, "For example, Miss Lilian-Ji Xu can also make a pretty good video."

"I?"
