Director Luk Vân Reveals How to Create a “Million-View” Cinematic Script at HUFLIT

Through the shares from Director Luk Vân together with the guest lineup of the film project “BUS: Chuyến xe một chiều”, the programme helps students step by step clearly understand the process of building a script and developing ideas in reality.

Decoding the appeal of a “million-view” script

With the suggestive opening question: “Where does a million-view film start?”, the talkshow brought students into the behind-the-scenes world of the seventh art. Here, the script is likened to the core blueprint, deciding the success or failure of the works.

Throughout the programme, students were guided on how to observe, select material from ordinary life and transform it into stories rich in cinematic quality. Not only stopping at storytelling theory, the sharing also went deep into the technique of building the character’s psychological line and the art of embedding “plot twists”, helping a work touch the deepest emotions of the audience.

A hands-on perspective from Director Luk Vân and the guest lineup

The most attractive highlight throughout the 150 minutes of the event was the professional exchange with Director Luk Vân. With rich hands-on experience on the film set, the female director did not hesitate to “reveal” the unwritten rules in the screenwriting world. The lessons about how to convey a message, how to keep a good film rhythm and meet the audience’s tastes were conveyed in a close, easy-to-understand way.

Besides, the atmosphere of the hall exploded more with the appearance of the cast from the project “BUS: Chuyến xe một chiều”. Through interesting behind-the-scenes anecdotes, the guest lineup helped HUFLITers visually imagine the journey of turning dry words on the page into vivid frames of film on the screen.

A mark from the connection between academics and industry practice

The programme closed in an excited atmosphere and positive energy from the participants. The knowledge and real-world stories from “Script Talk” not only brought a clear perspective on the process of building a cinematic script but also became useful baggage, adding confidence for young people pursuing the communication – entertainment field.

More than just a sharing session, the theme opened up an academic space rich in applicability, where theory is closely connected with real-world experience in the industry. Thereby, participants not only understand the profession better but also gain more inspiration to shape their own development path in the future.
