How about something like:
On a bet, a charming womanizer accepts the challenge to transform a clinger into player only to have her play his heart when he falls in love with his creation.
(30 words)
“Only to have”? = ironic and unintentional role reversal (and poetic pay back): the player who manipulates women’s hearts gets? his own heart manipulated by his creation.
“On a bet” = the inciting incident.? Gotta have a reason why he? would deign to invest his time, effort and “human relationship” expertise on a woman whom he would initially have no respect for, no interest in.
fwiw
When he turns his nerdy gal pal into a player, a heartless womanizer must find a way to transform her back into the woman he loves – the woman he is about to lose.”
Another cool plot point you could use in a story like this.
His female friend, the one he turned into a maneater, gets angry when he tries to change her back to who she was.
She accuses him of being jealous because she is better and scamming than he was.
So they decide on a competition, Word of honor, how many people can they get to get to fall in love with them in a one week period.
The competition ends in a tie.
She’s about to walk away in a huff and he says “you win” she gets confused “But it’s a tie?”
At which point he takes her hand and confesses that he loves her.
They kiss, roll credits: The End.
She’s All That?is a teen romantic comedy movie from the 90’s with the same plot. It is a modern adaptation of the classic play Pygmalion, also known as My Fair Lady. Basically a cynic man bet that he can change a naive/poor/uneducated/ugly woman into the perfect before realising that she was the woman of his dream all along.
At the turn of the century, there was plethora of movies based on the same theme: the ugly duckling getting transformed into a beautiful swan and getting the boy of her dream who had initially ignored her.
If you want to sound original, you may need to transpose the plot into a previously ignored social environment where the culture clash can become a source of fun.?Miss Congeniality? being a prime example. Here are some some example of unexpected social environment: gamer, lumberjack competition, extreme eating competition…
Also, I am not sure with the current political and social climate that this theme of prettifying a reluctant women for personal gratification will still resonate. The womaniser being vanquished by beauty may be a difficult sell to the #MeToo generation.
Well said Valentin.? I agree with you on ever point.? Especially on the point about the temper of the times in the movie industry, the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements.?
It’s time to flip the trope, the Pygmalion? plot, so that it’s a woman who gives a man a make over, transforms him into a player.
