Dolly Alderton: 作为编剧，我深知确保每个角色都有独特的声音至关重要。如果所有角色听起来都一样，那将是一个失败。为了避免这种情况，我会仔细观察那些与我的角色相似的人，记录他们的说话方式、语调以及他们所做的观察。此外，我坚信作家最重要的品质是成为一个细心的观察者，时刻留意周围的人和事。通过保持敏锐的观察力，我能够收集到丰富的素材，为塑造不同的人物提供灵感。 Chyna Moo-Young: 在选角阶段，我会思考谁最适合扮演某个角色，这有助于我更好地理解和校准角色。通过这种方式，角色的声音会更加清晰地呈现出来。同时，我建议编剧们不要害怕进行研究。许多编剧认为，仅仅依靠想象力是一种创造力的失败。然而，我认为研究可以为创作提供更丰富的素材和更深刻的理解。
