## Description

Case studies of television series writing (剧集案例库) from primary texts; Sorkin's six West Wing teleplays (act-page tables, eight act-out types); Chase's five Sopranos scripts (the 35-beat A/B/C/D recipe, what a pilot refuses to explain); Fellowes's annotated Downton Abbey season two (19 storylines, 419 footnotes); Waller-Bridge's Fleabag Scriptures (the six-episode half-hour template); Calvisi's eight minute-by-minute pilot beat sheets (Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Game of Thrones and more); Landau's 47-series structure appendix; Miller's Hannibal and HTGAWM breakdowns; Goldberg & Rabkin's beat sheets; Sakamoto Yuji's We Made a Beautiful Bouquet (a feature) and Noh Hee-kyung's The Most Beautiful Goodbye. Use when you want a worked example of how an episode or pilot is built, need real act lengths, scene counts or storyline grids to imitate, are breaking a multi-thread ensemble episode, designing a bottle episode or a finale, writing a relationship or family drama, or ask 某一集是怎么写的 / 这部剧的结构表.

# 剧集案例库（Series Case Studies）

> **输出语言＝提问语言**；术语一律锚回原词，见 [sw-workflow/terms.md](../sw-workflow/terms.md)，不自创译名。

**范例库**：每案例给"这是什么文本／结构数据／可迁移手法"。原理见 `sw-series-structure`、`sw-series-engine-bible`、`sw-writers-room`、`sw-sitcom-comedy`；《继承之战》单列为 `succession-series-writing`。

只用一手文本。**凡剧本无幕标记、由分析者按篇幅与转折反推的幕界，一律标注"推断"。** 逐集表、幕页表、节拍表、线网格、长引文分三个文件：四部英语剧本集（West Wing／Sopranos／Downton／Fleabag）见 [reference.md](reference.md)；方法书里的 pilot 节拍表与 beat sheet 实物（Calvisi 八个 pilot、Landau 47 部剧结构总表、Miller 的两场 escalation 与四份学生 outline、Goldberg & Rabkin 的 beat sheet）见 [reference-pilots.md](reference-pilots.md)；日韩两部文本（坂元裕二、卢熙京）见 [reference-asia.md](reference-asia.md)。

## 一、West Wing：广播网四幕＋teaser 的锚文本

Sorkin《The West Wing Script Book》（Newmarket, 2002）收**六个 Sorkin 独立署名的 teleplay**（S1E01 Pilot、S1E03 A Proportional Response、S2E01, 02 In the Shadow of Two Gunmen I/II、S2E18 17 People、S2E22 Two Cathedrals），各附一页作者短序。**拍摄稿**，自带 `TEASER`／`ACT ONE, FOUR`／`END OF SHOW` 标记与场号页码, , **幕界是书面事实，不需推断**。故它是 1999, 2001 年 NBC 一小时剧（正片 42, 44 分钟）唯一可逐页量化的四幕样本。
