a new particular motivation for Chinese low-budget comedy film--------Time Stop

There is a new particular motivation, that is Time Stop. This element can able to provide the script a new motivation to telling stories and make funnier.

But I just seen this element was applied in some high-budget comedy film.

Like the Hong Kong comedy film <A Chinese Odyssey>, it repeated to apply the time stop, giving the story the same particular motivation and siting the different plots by repeating time stop.


But I think that the motivation of Time Stop also can be applied in Chinese low-budget comedy films.  

<Flat Story>, I apply time stop in my script, the beginning idea is Nancy and Rita go to another space, their background is white scene. That means this part is their thinking world, but we do not have money to make a white scene, so I change a little bit idea in the script, and the effect is the same.
