In the history of drama development, scripts appeared roughly when dramas were formally formed and matured.
The development of ancient Greek tragedy from the original Dionysus ritual to a complete performing art was marked by the appearance of a batch of tragedy scripts; Chinese operas and drama scripts in the Song and Yuan Dynasties are the most reliable evidence of the maturity of Chinese drama; The maturity of Indian and Japanese classical drama is also marked by a batch of scripts handed down from generation to generation.

literary script
As for literary scripts, it is a type evolved from early novels and plays. The novelists and playwrights at that time did not know much about the writing of film and television scripts at first, so what should they do? The director told them, you can write it like a novel, but you must describe the lines and actions clearly.
Therefore, early literary scripts are similar to novels, and they are very readable. But nowadays, literary scripts are basically used by few people. In fact, I think they are still very valuable.
Screenplay
On the "World Cinema" magazine, there will be two foreign scripts in each issue. These scripts are different from the scripts on the Internet. Many so-called movie scripts on the Internet are usually scripts picked up from movies. They lack action descriptions and are basically lines.

For example, Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" script has no nonsense, and the sentences are very precise.
But it is a pity that only professionals can understand it, because non-professionals are easily disturbed by the scene information inside, and it seems that it is not smooth enough and relatively obscure.
So literary scripts and movie scripts are two different types of script forms.
Script format
To write scripts, we have a fixed script format. Usually we use the method of script writing in Hong Kong, so why not adopt the method of script writing in Hollywood?
Generally speaking, their scripts use Courier font (equivalent to Song typeface for Chinese characters). Font size 10, A4 paper size, left margin 1.5-2 inches, right margin minimum 1 inch, top margin 1 inch, bottom margin 1-0.5 inches.
Hollywood script format
One page of the script is exactly equal to one minute of the feature film.
So a 120-page script can almost correspond to a 120-minute movie. However, because the font and presentation format of Chinese scripts are different from those of Hollywood scripts, this format is usually rarely used.

drama script
In the last issue of "Writing, Directing, and Performing Mixed Actual Combat Camp", the two scripts we filmed, "Spy's Acting Skills" and "The Desperate Man", belonged to the pure drama format.

Screenplays in drama format usually do not use colons, descriptions use parentheses, etc. Here we need to mention playwrights. The difference between playwrights and screenwriters is that plays play a very important role in the industry, even higher than directors. Like George Bernard Shaw and Chekhov we know, these are all playwrights.

Cao Yu and Lao She are well-known playwrights in China. In addition to writing scripts, playwrights sometimes direct music. A script can provide thirty or fifty different ways for a dozen drama directors. This is the strength of playwrights. They are the source of IP.
In order to let the actors rehearse as he imagined, the playwright will add various performance emotions to the lines, and the emotions of the actors are all framed in a range. Mr. Cao Yu has his insistence:
"There is a rhythm in my punctuation, where I stop, stop, and start. Don't change it. If you change it, it will not be my play."
