## Description

Screenplay format, page craft, the writing process and adaptation (剧本格式/写作流程/改编), merged from Wendy Henson (spec format rules), Richard Walter (page craft, revision), Neill Hicks (selling vs shooting script, draft chain), Syd Field (master shot, card method, adaptation as original work), Robert McKee (step outline → treatment → screenplay), Julian Hoxter (format elements, adaptation four questions), Diamond & Weissman (one-page nine-step) and Eric Bork, plus an exact typographic grid, element conventions (V.O./O.S., MORE/CONT'D, dual dialogue), a machine-writable output contract (Fountain, with forced markers for Chinese), and Asian industry formats (Chinese 场号制 影视剧本格式, Japanese 柱・ト書き・セリフ / 決定稿). Use when formatting a spec script, choosing the output file format, deciding what goes in action lines, planning drafts and outlines, cutting pages, adapting a novel, play or true story, writing a Chinese TV/film or Japanese-style script page, or preparing a submission-ready draft.

## 一、你写的是推销剧本，不是拍摄剧本

- 希克斯：格式来自过时的制片厂拍摄剧本；**你现在写的是推销剧本（selling script）**，避免无用缩写数字标示；**最基本法则：让剧本容易读**, , 不要让读者努力用功，不要让他翻回前页查场景如何来的；"你要操控的是阅读者，不是电影"。
- 米利厄斯："我绝不写镜头内容，不写'我们去接近''我们可以看到'，那极为冒失。格式只需告诉读者白天晚上内景外景，其余像小说, , 清楚明确令人有阅读的兴趣。"
- 汉森：格式不正确没人接受，审读人先扫前几页格式对才读内容；"不要给别人任何一个不读你剧本的理由"；剧本是导向制作的"蓝图"，观众不读剧本。
- 沃尔特原理 32：**想让别人把你当专业剧作家先用专业标准要求自己**；"只要看上去像个作家写的就行"（博格）；忠实遵守画面声音限制几乎可不在乎格式。
- 戴蒙德：只读剧本（好的烂的拍的没拍的），网上几千部免费剧本；但汉森/沃尔特提醒：网上多是分镜头拍摄脚本，别模仿其镜头术语。
