Robert McKee's screenwriting workshops have earned him an international reputation for inspiring novices, refining works in progress and putting major screenwriting careers back on track. Quincy Jones, Diane Keaton, Gloria Steinem, Julia Roberts, John Cleese and David Bowie are just a few of his celebrity alumni.Writers, producers, development executives and agents all flock to his lecture series, praising it as a mesmerizing and intense learning experience. In Story , McKee expands on the concepts he teaches in his $450 seminars (considered a must by industry insiders), providing readers with the most comprehensive, integrated explanation of the craft of writing for the screen. No one better understands how all the elements of a screenplay fit together, and no one is better qualified to explain the "magic" of story construction and the relationship between structure and character than Robert McKee.
Robert McKee began his show business career at age nine playing the title role in a community theatre production of MARTIN THE SHOEMAKER. He continued acting as a teenager in theatre productions in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan. Upon receiving the Evans Scholarship, he attended the University of Michigan and earned a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature. While an undergraduate, he acted in and directed over thirty productions. McKee's creative writing professor was the noted Kenneth Rowe whose former students include Arthur Miller and Lawrence Kasdan.
After completing his B.A., McKee toured with the APA (Association of Producing Artists) Repertory Company, appearing on Broadway with such luminaries as Helen Hayes, Rosemary Harris and Will Geer. He then received the Professional Theatre Fellowship and returned to Ann Arbor, Michigan to earn his Master's Degree in Theatre Arts.
Upon graduating, McKee directed the Toledo Repertory Company, acted with the American Drama Festival, and became Artistic Director of the Aaron Deroy Theatre. From there he traveled to London to accept the position of Artist-In-Residence at the National Theatre where he studied Shakespearean production at the Old Vic. He then returned to New York and spent the next seven years as an actor/director in various Off-Broadway, repertory and stock companies.
After deciding to move his career to film, McKee attended Cinema School at the University of Michigan. While there, he directed two short films - A DAY OFF, which he also wrote, and TALK TO ME LIKE THE RAIN, adapted from a one-act play by Tennessee Williams. These two films won the Cine Eagle Award, awards at the Brussels and Grenoble Film Festivals, and various prizes at the Delta, Rochester, Chicago and Baltimore Film Festivals.
In 1979, McKee moved to Los Angeles, California where he began to write screenplays and work as a story analyst for United Artists and NBC. He sold his first screenplay, DEAD FILES, to AVCO/Embassy Films, after which he joined the WGA (Writers Guild of America). His next screenplay, HARD KNOCKS, won the National Screenwriting Contest, and since then McKee has had over eight feature film screenplays purchased or optioned, including the feature film script TROPHY for Warner Bros. In addition to his screenplays, McKee has had a number of scripts produced for such critically acclaimed dramatic television series as QUINCY, M.D. (starring Jack Klugman), COLUMBO (starring Peter Falk), SPENSER: FOR HIRE and KOJAK (starring Telly Savalas).
In 1983, McKee, a Fulbright Scholar, joined the faculty of the School of Cinema and Television at the University of Southern California (USC), where he began offering his now famous STORY SEMINAR class. A year later, McKee opened the course to the public and he now teaches the 3-day, 30-hour STORY SEMINAR to sold-out audiences around the world. From Los Angeles (where his course is only taught two times a year) to New York (two times a year) to Paris, Sydney, Toronto, Boston, San Francisco, Helsinki, Oslo, Munich, Singapore, Barcelona and 12 other film capitals around the world, more than 50,000 students have taken the course over the last 15+ years.
Through it all, McKee continues to be a project consultant to major film and television production companies, as well major software firms (Microsoft, etc.), news departments (ABC, etc.) and more. In addition, several companies such as ABC, Disney, Miramax, PBS, Nickelodeon and Paramount regularly send their entire creative and writing staffs to his lectures.
In 2000, McKee won the prestigious 1999 International Moving Image Book Award for his best-selling book STORY (Regan Books/HarperCollins). The book, currently in its 32nd printing in the U.S. and its 19th printing in the U.K., has become required reading for film and cinema schools at such top Universities as Harvard, Yale, UCLA, and USC, and was on the LOS ANGELES TIMES best-seller list for 20 weeks.
Mastery of craft frees the subconcious. To build upon or subvert the "classical" story requires understanding of the structures first.
评分非常棒的剧本入门书籍,尤其开篇,遣词用句很是享受,目测至少要再看一遍,画一张思维导图才好用于应用。阅读初心是希望可以帮助自己了解做做叙事性游戏,而游戏中的叙事,和书籍和电影的交集十分微妙,每当看到作者阐述其观点时,总是在想,作者如果了解游戏,他会在这段论述中如何摆放游戏、文学、影视三者的关系,偶尔像是和作者在交流。唯一遗憾是书中作者举例的很多作品都没看过,影响了自己的理解性,希望未来能补看附录电影后二刷此书。
评分有些很漂亮的解剖,对于叙事本身的教学也没问题。只是我不认为narrative是电影的核心,也不认为narrative是表现人物的唯一途径。
评分经典之作
评分醍醐灌顶1.0
第一次想读《故事》这本书,是因为一本电影杂志上的文章,那是一篇对罗伯特.麦基的专访,其中自然提到了他这本代表性的著作,众所周知,麦基在美国举办了一个专门教人如何“讲故事”的讲习班,手下的学生中也不乏一些如雷贯耳的名字,《阿甘正传》、《空军一号》、《回到未来》...
评分晃晃推荐的这本书。去年好不容易买到手,却一直放着没看。这几天在上下班路上翻阅,真是精彩。和那些晦涩的叙事学理论相比,这个好莱坞手艺人大概要证明,只要你对一个东西有专业的洞察,就一定能够便于理解地表达出来。事实上,他对美国大学在过去几十年里,将写作教学从内在...
评分什么是故事?作者说故事就是变化。 用什么来划分场景?作者说场景以价值的转变为休止符。 什么是大情节?那是人持之以恒地对抗外部世界。 …… 这是著名电影人撰写的剧作教材,围绕着“故事”这一剧本的核心,把故事层层剥开,用他独创的结构体系完全重塑...
评分取这个标题并没有贬低的意思,这本书非常棒,理论完整且实用,是我看过讲写作的书里最有用的一本吧~ 作者罗波特麦基是个美国人,论述相当出色,而且不乏风趣幽默,比如讲电影分类的时候说,我们(指美国人)把美国电影以外的片子都称为文艺电影,主要是指欧洲电影。 他讲到喜...
