Definition
剧本 (jù běn) refers to the script or screenplay itself — the written document for a play, film, or TV show. It is distinct from 编剧 (biān jù), which means the screenwriter or the act of writing the script, and from 剧情 (jù qíng), which is the plot or storyline (the content, not the written text).
