Terry Jia

Writing screenplays in the style of Ozu Yasujiro and Noda Kogo (小津安二郎・野田高梧) — distilled from six complete screenplays (晚春 Late Spring, 麦秋 Early Summer, 东京物语 Tokyo Story, 浮草 Floating Weeds, 秋日和 Late Autumn, 秋刀鱼之味 An Autumn Afternoon). Covers the "family member leaves" master plot, off-screen events / on-screen reactions, lie-driven plots, minimal-syllable confessions, go-between characters, faceless suitors, pillow-shot scene breaks, echoing objects, mirror characters, children's subplots as metaphor, displaced quarrels, the single-monologue rule, diminishing endings, Ozu's script format and stage-direction vocabulary. Use when the user wants to write a quiet family drama, a 小津风 / 侘寂 / 日常系 script, a story about marrying off a daughter, aging parents, or wants dialogue that says less and means more.

Character creation, protagonist/antagonist design and dramatic conflict for scripts (人物/对手/冲突) — merged from Lajos Egri (three-dimensional character, orchestration, unity of opposites, pivotal character, rising vs static vs jumping conflict, transition), William Indick's Psychology for Screenwriters (Freud, Erikson, Jung archetypes, Campbell/Murdock hero journeys, Adler, Rollo May), Robert McKee (characterization vs true character, dimensions, gap, antagonism principle), Neill Hicks (character invocation, self-concept, cognitive dissonance, five conflict focuses, Maslow), Lisa Cron (desire vs misbelief), and Lu Jun (人物要活八要, 对手要强, 给对手一把刀, 最强的对手是自己, 不许请祥云). Use when building a protagonist, an antagonist or a cast, when a character feels flat or acts out of character, when conflict stalls or jumps, when a villain is too weak, when designing an arc or motive, or when diagnosing melodrama.
