"As for the male protagonist, it's actually not difficult to set. You know, no emotion can be separated from the category of family, love, and friendship." Evan Bell heard Christopher Nolan's question, without pausing for too long, He quickly said, obviously this is a field of psychology that he is very familiar with, "For an adult man, after a family is established, family affection and love are integrated, and it becomes the biggest struggle in the heart,"

Having said this, Evan Bell thought for a while, "You can set up such a character that everything he does is to go home..." Christopher Nolan has come to understand, he raised his eyebrows, but He did not interrupt Evan Bell's narrative, but still listened carefully, "He wanted to go back to his wife and children, so he had to accept the task of planting seeds in a dream. , is the hope of winning himself home. His wife and children are the only motivation for all his work.”

"I understand this one." Christopher Nolan laughed. He was the one who started a family and started a family in the dialogue. Naturally, his feelings for the family were more profound. "So family and love are the biggest entanglement in the hero's emotions? However, this emotion is very personal, how does it connect with the totem, how can it connect with other people, or even connect the whole story?"

Evan Bell pondered for a while, "This story can be written like this. The male protagonist is a...technical person who can enter the dreamland," Evan Bell's words made Christopher Nolan laugh, "Originally, the male protagonist and His wife is a partner, you know, one person enters the dream, one needs to let the wind outside, or two people enter the dream together, and then complete the task together. But in one mission, his wife found that the dream was too much It was beautiful and unwilling to leave, so she refused to leave the dream mouth but the male protagonist did not agree, because dreams are always dreams and cannot be reality. What's more, there are their children in reality, so their opinions diverged.

"In the end, the male protagonist forcibly took his wife out and returned to reality, but as a result, the wife still couldn't distinguish between reality and dream, she wanted to return to dream again, and finally chose suicide due to insanity. This made the male lead stubbornly Thinking that he was the murderer of his wife." Following Evan Bell's words, Christopher Nolan's thoughts became completely clear, and he even went as far as to perfect some of his ideas about dreams, which he has not yet had. and Evan-Berty, but Evan-Berre's words just now gave him more ideas.

"Because he is believed to be the murderer of his wife, the male protagonist is wanted and forced to leave the family and the country. This time, there is an authority who offers a condition that if the male protagonist can complete a task of planting seeds in a dream, Then he can let the male protagonist go home and reunite with the child." Evan-Bell continued to say that the whole story gradually became smoother, "and when the male protagonist is performing the task, because it is a dream again, so his own mind The wife resurfaced again, but instead became the biggest uncertain factor in the mission. It almost became the culprit that led to the failure of the mission.”

"This emotional connection is not only the biggest foothold of the hero's entire personality..." From Evan Bell's description just now, it can be seen that the hero's emotions include family ties, guilt towards his wife, There is an obsession with the past and a lot of confusion about himself. "At the same time, it can connect the whole story and become the turning point of the story. In the end, the whole story is sublimated."

Christopher Nolan was completely excited at this time. The story told by Evan Bell is actually very rough, but it completely integrates his conception of dreams, and then adds three emotional factors, which can definitely make his script two-fold. "We can completely add totems. For example, the totem used by the male protagonist is the totem used by his wife before. This totem actually maintains all kinds of emotions and confusions in him, and also serves as his identification of dreams and emotions. The mainstay of reality." Speaking of which, Christopher Nolan paused and his eyes lit up, "And when other team members asked, this totem became the biggest uncertainty factor in the mission, and it also took all team members' Connections are strengthened."

Evan Bell didn't nod, but thought for a while, "Chris, I think the actor should hide this secret, he doesn't want people to know his guilt and involvement with his wife, even if other players ask , but he is reluctant to say it. This also makes the male protagonist the biggest threat to the mission."

"Why?" Christopher Nolan obviously disagreed, his first reaction was to frown in complete rejection.

Evan Bell was not in a hurry, he said, "You must have seen 'Vertigo'."

Evan Bell just said a word, Christopher Nolan understood, "Are you trying to create a villain?"

"Vertigo" is one of the most classic works of "Hitchcock". This movie allows the audience to completely play the protagonist of the movie, because the protagonist is confident and knowledgeable and is an expert, but unfortunately the second half of the story allows the audience to When they woke up, they were completely deceived, and the protagonist was not the person the audience thought at all.

This kind of villain is very challenging, another successful example is "Lawrence of Arabia," who is a successful halo protagonist for half the film, but is so in the second half of the story Dark, yet addictive, it's a complete challenge to the conventional wisdom of the protagonist's resonance. But it is difficult to achieve this effect. There must be a really suitable actor who can fully present the entire psychological transformation without making the audience disgusted. At the same time, the director's control is also very strict.

Evan Bell nodded, "A villain. However, I'm not just trying to create this reversal effect, it's more from a psychological point of view." Christopher Nolan did not speak, and watched silently Evan Bell, waiting for his explanation, "Imagine a person with a dark psychological past, even thinking that he killed his wife, although he did not kill his wife with his hands, but his wife's Death does have an inseparable relationship with him. At the same time, because of his wife, the distinction between dreams and reality has become very blurred. He is always worried that he is living in dreams, but is out of reality. Under such circumstances, he would not easily expose his heart to anyone, because he was not only worried about history repeating itself, but also worried that he would be immersed in the dream and would never wake up, so he would never be able to make peace with him. Meet your own children."

Christopher Nolan didn't react to Evan Bell's tirade, he just listened intently.

"So, in this case, the male protagonist will have a self-denial part in his heart. He not only denies his wife's influence on him, but also denies his ability to distinguish between dreams and reality, and even questions his own ability. A person who is self-denial often presents double denial. He will not admit his inner worries and fears." Evan-Beiyuan tried to use the simplest language to state his thoughts, "When his teammates asked When he was there, he definitely thought that his inner fear would not have any impact on the task, and he avoided it. But at the same time, he was worried about the possibility of such a occurrence, so he would take some protective measures - this can be discussed slowly, However, in the end, the protective measures were ineffective, he was in a dream, in fact, deep in his subconscious, he was still plagued by past experiences, which led to the accident."

Christopher Nolan still didn't respond. Evan-Bell is still not discouraged, "In addition, the most important thing is that the actor's weakening ability to distinguish between dreams and reality, including self-denial, is actually one of the means to confuse the audience. In fact, it is not accurate, more To be precise, it is to let the audience also begin to explore the psychology of the male protagonist, to detect which part is reality and which part is a dream, which also makes the audience naturally become a part of the story, and even a member of the task team."

Christopher Nolan still didn't react. He looked at Evan Bell for a long time, and even after Evan Bell finished speaking, he didn't speak. Evan Bell didn't shy away, and looked at Christopher Nolan. After a while, Christopher Nolan said, "You still want to perfect the character, right?"

Evan Bell is famous for his harsh requirements for the role, how could Christopher Nolan not know. A really good character can even drive the story and take it to the next level. Evan Bell's careful sculpting of the male protagonist has indeed improved the emotional line of the whole story, not only perfecting it, but also making the emotional discussion more profound and vivid.

"Don't you want to?" Evan Bell's rhetorical question made Christopher Nolan laugh helplessly.

"Evan, you are always so persuasive..." Christopher Nolan seemed helpless. Evan Bell knew that he successfully persuaded Christopher Nolan.

Evan-Bell shrugged, "So, what exactly is your story, and is there a theoretical framework? We've been discussing the details here for so long, but we don't even know what framework to put it on. Isn't it too ridiculous?"

Christopher Nolan laughed dumbly, "Don't worry, I've been thinking about the whole theoretical system for a long time. I can tell you right away that I actually wrote more than a hundred pages of theoretical drafts, which are so complicated that I can't wait to hit my head against the wall. , if you could offer a little help, that would be great."

Evan Bell showed a smile, "Can I help you hit your head against the wall? My honor..."
