Story structure for screenplays and stage plays (故事结构) — merged from Syd Field's paradigm and plot points, Blake Snyder's Save the Cat beat sheet and board, Robert McKee's Story (event/scene/sequence/act, inciting incident, progressive complications, crisis-climax-resolution, subplots, story triangle), Julian Hoxter's nine-beat model, Neill Hicks' three acts as attraction/anticipation/satisfaction, and Lu Jun's Chinese short-play structure (凤头猪肚豹尾, 起承转合, eight openings, eight endings, 入戏要快/脉络要清/高潮要高/转变要顺/变化要多). Use when outlining a script, placing plot points and midpoint, fixing a saggy second act, designing an opening or ending, diagnosing "nothing happens", choosing between linear and non-linear designs, or converting a premise into beats and cards.

# 故事结构（Story Structure）

> **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。

本 skill 合并六种结构体系：悉德·菲尔德《电影剧本写作基础》（范式/情节点）、布莱克·斯奈德《救猫咪》（BS2 十五节拍、演示板）、罗伯特·麦基《故事》（结构层级、故事三角、激励事件、进展纠葛、危机高潮结局）、霍克斯特《编剧的十二条法则》（九节拍、A/B 故事）、尼尔·希克斯《编剧的核心技巧》（三幕＝吸引力/预期/满意、十要素）、陆军《编剧理论与技法》（起承转合、开头八法、结尾八法、高潮病、转变八忌、变化六种）。它们互相兼容：**菲尔德给骨架，斯奈德给页码，麦基给原理，霍克斯特给节拍名，希克斯给观众心理，陆军给中国戏剧的实操手法。**

对照表、范例与逐片情节点见同目录 [reference.md](reference.md)。

## 一、结构的层级（麦基）

- **结构**＝对人物生活故事中一系列事件的选择，组合成战略序列，激发特定情感并表达特定人生观。
- **事件**＝变化，须通过**价值**（生/死、爱/恨、自由/奴役、真理/谎言……随时可正负转化的二元）表达。东非降雨是巧合不是故事事件；造雨者从冲突中撞出的雨才是。
