Getting some directions..



Well, so now I am stuck into the major problem here. God somebody please save me.. I am writing story but don’t know how to prepare screenplay now. I heard from some directors and some books that, a good story can be formed with the character description and also their social background. Because through their traits and through their social description the entire movie will run interesting. Let’s put this example in practical now. If we want to make friendship with anyone, we wont just make friendship without knowing about them right?? At least we would get into basic introduction. Like we greet each other, hi and hello then we talk each other and when we feel interesting we would make good friend with them. So how do we find that person interesting? When our tastes will match with others completely, T-totally. We may find something fascinating yes or no?? I will share with you all one small story that I have gone through when I went out for evening walk. There was one boy and girl sitting against to rods near lake, and they were talking casually. As the time passing on, both of them were becoming close. As I have noticed that boy was asking to girl “What is your favorite color?”, she said “White”. Boy was surprised and he said “Really my god I too love white” and he asked “who is your favorite singer”, girl replied “I love lady gaga and Akon” and the boy went crazy finally, he got involved into her and the fascination occurred so both fell in love deeply. The key point is both of their characteristics have been matched and so they fell in love. The same thing I am going to show in my movie also. Nic and Madhu, will share the same sort of tastes and point of view towards any issue. So they really fall in love. But is it just the matter of exchanging the same tastes that they get attracted to each other?? But it also matter how their character depicts…

Referring about social backgrounds of respective main lead characters in the movie will really help out. Because, their social background can impact much on character which brings interesting point to script. For example, I have seen one Cantonese movie called “Fly me to polaris”. In that movie, hero is blind whose name is Onion. In the beginning of the movie, he narrates about himself that he is blind and mute therefore he cannot see the world but he really loves his best friend who is nurse her name is Autumn and she helps him a lot. One day he meets with an accident and he dies. Heavenly angels will bless him by giving Onion eye sight back and also gets his tone back. He will just have 5 days time to meet Autumn and express his love. Therefore, he returns back to earth and tries his best to express his feelings for Autumn. During that time, what kind of consequences he will face is really interesting area in the movie. Now, if we take this character Onion, he is blind and mute and in the second part this character will  give a new twist that we audience never expected before. So me as a watcher, I was involved into story and I thought in a minute “wowww the story is interesting because of Onion’s comeback”. I guess I am making sense to you all. If the character is really interesting the film will appeal more interesting. If we take another example called “The Dark Knight”. It’s the fantastic Hollywood film ever I have seen. In this movie, everyone remembers Joker. Because his characterization brought fantastic rhythm to movie. His body language, and his forceful dialogue delivery gave the good punch to movie. That is why, it is very much interesting to make a script out of character description stuff..

I will bring another example of Mandarin movie called “Sophie’s revenge” which is about love story. In this movie, Sophie is very Independent, famous illustrator for comic books, and she has high spirits her attitude is to not give up whatever things she will do. So according to her traits the movie has been delivered. In this film, Sophie will plan to take back her boyfriend who is lost in another girl’s love, by cheating Sophie. And she makes different plans to heal her heart break. Sophie’s high spirits and over confidence traits will mess up her entire plans thus she meets with some funny sort of consequences that gives failure at end whatever she does. But her spirits are so high that she wont give up and finally she will win back her ex-boyfriend. But at the same time, Sophie is also Independent in her decisions so she later realizes that he is not made for her and she moves on with another guy who is her best friend and supports her every funny action. This movie is really hit and everyone enjoyed. The movie has been released in the year 2006. The movie has become hit only because of Sophie character. Her character was most interesting that female audiences were involved into her and they were stick to the seats watching movie gazing at screen.

So I guess, I made some sense now. Some movies, will appeal interesting because of certain characteristics of main leads. People will involve into them and they will compare themselves with their characteristics, that is why the reason some movies will become super hit. “Ye maya chesave” Telugu’s blockbuster hit will fall under the same category. As if now, I learnt this from my experience too. And I decided to give fantastic characteristics to main leads so that it can give some wonderful spice to my movie. I believe I have written the character description of Madhu and Nic. Now, the story starts in this way. Nic is very responsible person at the same time, he wont cherish Madhu with love. Perhaps, Madhu misunderstand him that he wont love her much. On top of that, Nic will also behave in that way with Madhu that he wont express anything. Therefore, Madhu visualizes herself that he might be roaming with another girl or he might be getting bored of this relationship. But at the end, Nic will reveal out that he has got severe family problems and he is very very poor thus he is really working hard to keep up his position strong for himself and families. Soonly, Madhu will realize this and she decides to break up with Nic. Nic will try his best to convince Madhu but she wont accept him for the sake of his good future she lets him to be alone and serve for the family. After the break up, Madhu will change completely. Her mind becomes matured, she wont behave like kid, neither she will be sensitive. She wont smile much, she stays alone and works hard to come out of the break up thing. But Nic, will realize the value of Madhu and he decides to meet Madhu to break the curse of this long distance relationship. Finally, Madhu and Nic will reconcile.
I am just giving you all the basic storyline that I got. And I am really standing strong to work on it. I hope you all had liked it, I promise I will refine it much better, and I will make out the screenplay interesting though Madhu and Nic’s characteristics..

Some of the successful characters that I am showing to you all. Remember, these characters gave prominent structure to story. All of you can kindly look through it below. :) 

 
Why So Serioussssssss???????? Remember Joker of The Dark Knight.. His character is central attraction for movie..And his character reflects interesting element to movie.. 



"Onion" of Fly Me to polaris, is much more interesting than Autumn. The blind and mute person finally expresses his dead hidden love to Autumn from heaven... 

Antagonist of the film "WuJi The Promise" which is one beautiful Chinese fairytale love story.. Duke Wuhuan is an interesting character who rules the kingdom of China Mainland and traps his rich Princess in bird cage.. 
"Kunlun" Protagonist of Wuji film tries to rescue trapped Princess.. Kunlun and Wuhuan characters are
prominent and most eye central attraction characters in this movie. Without these two roles, the whole movie
would not be depicted much interesting as ever...





Can anyone disagree?? Summer's character is not interesting?? ;) everyone believes Summer is more interesting character in this movie Than Tom. Look at her every trait, she is very irritating and we feel she is lifeless for any emotion as how she enters into Tom's life and how he gets screwed up with her strange traits. Her entire characterization takes the movie into interesting directions in interesting takes and every scene meets with different consequences as we dont really expect.. Am I making sense?? :) 


Stool pigeon directed by Dante Lam released in the year 2010. Is one of the best HongKong action movie ever. In this movie, every character appears different. Every character, has different social background and will have different problems that they try to solve in various possible directions. Its the best successful movie and also received high response just because each and every character has been portrayed beautifully that it touched to viewer's heart.. It was touching for me also when I am viewer of this movie..
