Writing plays and screenplays in the Chekhovian mode (契诃夫戏剧法) — distilled from the complete plays (没有父亲的人/普拉东诺夫, 伊凡诺夫, 林妖→万尼亚舅舅, 海鸥, 三姊妹, 樱桃园, nine one-acts) plus Chekhov's own letters, Stanislavsky's and Nemirovich-Danchenko's rehearsal notes and 焦菊隐/童道明 criticism. Covers the four-act mood-based structure without central climax, off-stage events, "correct answer stated in Act 1 and refused", the announced event that never happens, three-layer endings (hope monologue + nihilist line + household action), no-villain conflict with environment, every character's object and catchphrase, one-way love chains, half-step-off dialogue, philosophy cut by thirst, the shortest words for the deepest pain, stage-direction and sound discipline, and how Chekhov revised The Wood Demon into Uncle Vanya. Use when the user wants an ensemble drama, a "nothing happens" play, subtext-heavy dialogue, a family estate / provincial story, an anti-climactic structure, or asks how to "Chekhov-ize" a script.

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.

Writing a Succession-style ensemble series (继承之战群像剧写法) — distilled from Jesse Armstrong's complete shooting scripts for all four seasons, 39 episodes (Faber 2023), with his introductions and footnotes, plus Frank Rich's and Lucy Prebble's essays on the writers' room. Covers the invisible-act three-test for scripts with no ACT marks, container episodes built on a ceremony's running order, pressure chambers, one core question per episode, finales with fewer and longer scenes, the absent protagonist at the climax, humiliation passed downward, stage directions carrying subtext and "maybe", reversals turned on one word, writing long, alts, the mega-chart, and engineering an ending once the plot engine loses pressure. Use when the user wants a dynastic family drama, a media-power ensemble, a wedding/funeral/summit set piece, a streaming hour with no act breaks, a finale that redraws alliances, or asks how to "Succession-ize" a script or kill a lead mid-season.

Playwriting for banqiang-system Chinese opera (板腔体:京剧、豫剧、越剧、秦腔、评剧、沪剧、淮剧、川剧弹戏), where sung passages are paired seven- or ten-character lines varied by metre (板式) rather than filled into fixed tune patterns. Covers genre (唱工戏/做工戏/武戏), the main line, technical structure and 排场, how 行当 and a named star decide the writing, 程式, lyric craft (唱词:上下句、重点句、垛句、辙口), 宾白 and the sung/spoken seam, duets, what the writer marks on the page (Peking-opera vs Yue-opera style), the interface with actors and musicians, restoring old plays, and three contemporary routes including 现代戏. Sources; 范钧宏、翁偶虹、刘吉典、樊尚林、张庚郭汉城、罗怀臻、陆军, plus full scripts (锁麟囊/沙家浜/白蛇传/朝阳沟/潘金莲). Use when writing or revising 唱词, choosing 板式, writing for a performer or role-type, adapting a traditional play, writing a 现代戏, judging a project's genre, marking 锣鼓, or drawing the boundary before general dramaturgy skills apply. Not for 元杂剧/传奇/昆曲, which are the qupai system; see sw-chinese-opera-qupai.
