sw-dialogue

Dialogue writing and revision for screen and stage (对白/台词/潜台词) — merged from Robert McKee's Dialogue (dialogue as action, said/unsaid/unsayable, exposition as ammunition, beat = action/reaction gerunds, flaws of credibility/language/content/design, character-specific vocabulary and grammar, seven scene analyses), Richard Walter (economy, subtext, argument, no small talk, no parentheticals, silence), Neill Hicks (listening, on-the-nose exceptions, energy, five-step exercise), Lu Jun (语言要美; 典雅美/通俗美, 对话三要求 动作性/性格化/潜台词), Lajos Egri (dialogue born of three-dimensional character, escalation), Blake Snyder (cover-the-names test), and screwball-comedy dialogue conventions. Use when writing or polishing dialogue, fixing on-the-nose or expository lines, giving each character a distinct voice, converting a two-hander into a trialogue, writing comedy exchanges, or cutting speeches. Chinese-opera lyrics (戏曲唱词) are in sw-chinese-opera-banqiang, not here.
