Chapter 167: The outline is being written

After writing these, Sun Quan did not rush to write the main part, this new book is pinned on his ambitions, so before writing the main text, he must have to make sufficient preparations.

The first is, of course, writing an outline.

He didn't like to write an outline before, but he still knows the standard nine-line method outline writing method for online articles.

The nine-line method, to those who have never heard of it, may seem very mysterious, but in fact, to put it bluntly, there is nothing special. And the so-called nine lines refer to 1, the protagonist's wisdom and character 2, supporting roles cannon fodder 3, skills 4, partners 5, equipment 6, adventure 7, life experience 8, forces 9, and harem.

This is the most popular way to write an outline in the online literature industry, and many gods also like to use this.

The outline is written in nine lines in sufficient detail, and the framework of a book is basically erected.

Sun Quan was honest this time, and according to this set of writing methods, he wrote the outline of this new book little by little.

This is destined to be a difficult process, the first line: the intelligent character of the protagonist, this one is not difficult for him to write, set an image of the protagonist in his mind, and write the character traits of the protagonist little by little.

But the second line: supporting role cannon fodder, this line is written so that he has two big heads, and he can't wait to hit his head on the wall and die, and it's a hundred.

What's so hard about this line?

Think about it, when you are going to write a book of two or three million words, and you haven't written a single chapter yet, so you have to list every supporting role and cannon fodder in the book, how much work is that?

There must be at least a hundred names for people alone, right?

In addition to the person's name, do you have to set the personality of each person?

After the character is set, do you still have to mark what kind of plot this person appears in this book, what skills does this person have, what kind of social relationships does this person have, and what does he do when he appears in this plot?

If it's a key person, how is he critical? What did he do? What was the end of the game? Why did he play? Can he not play? Will it affect the progress of the main story? and so on, a bunch of questions will follow.

If it's just a few, a dozen of these character settings, Sun Quan doesn't care, he has written so many books that hit the streets, just take a few characters out of it.

The question is...... At least hundred!

Are there enough brain cells?

And then to the third line...... Skill.

It's a huge amount of work, what kind of skill? Why does this skill appear? Which character uses this skill? Does this skill have no grades? If so, what is the name of each level? What is there so special about it? What level is this skill compared to other skills? Is there another skill that restrains it? If so, what is the name of that other skill? What are the characteristics? There are no grades, if so, how many levels is it, what is the name of each level? etc., etc.

Sun Quan tried to write for a while, and his eyes closed.

Of course, he hasn't hung up yet.

He just wanted to hang up on himself, and a question came to his mind - why did I write back then? Is it not good to live? Why can't I think about embarking on the road of no return to writing?

Then, another thought also flashed through his mind - write...... Sure enough, it's a dead end!

When he opened his eyes again, the first thing he did was to completely delete this bullshit nine-line method outline with a blank face, maybe some people love to use this nine-line method, but he can't stand it.

He decided to go his own way.

His method is much simpler.

The first thing he listed was a cultivation level.

Copied the cultivation level in the book "Dragon and Snake".

That is: Bright Strength, Dark Strength, Transformation Strength, Dan Strength, Gang Strength, and Breaking the Void and Seeing God is Not Bad, this set of cultivation levels, the characteristics of each realm, he still remembers.

This set of cultivation levels determines that the story background of the book "Immortal Dragon Ring" is a low-martial world, and martial artists have cultivated to the extreme, and they don't have the ability to fly to the sky.

Sun Quan felt that it was not enough, if it was just a low-martial world, many of the whimsical ideas about "Immortal Dragon Ring" in his mind would not be used.

Therefore, he thought about it for a while and listed another cultivation system.

It was a system of cultivation.

When listing this set of cultivation systems, he didn't plan to use it in the early and middle stages of this book, he thought that when the protagonist practiced to the highest level of the low martial arts world, he would arrange a chance for him to fly to a higher level of cultivation world.

Then this cultivation system can come in handy.

The protagonist always has to be upgraded, and when there is no way to rise, what else is there to see?

He wrote and changed until after midnight, and then he reluctantly listed the two cultivation systems he wanted.

That's a lot of work?

Not small indeed!

Like bright energy, dark energy, and chemical energy...... These levels are just a hierarchy system that measures the level of all martial arts realms.

However, under this large system, there are also a variety of exercises and specific martial arts moves, as well as the characteristics and lethality of each move.

Similarly, under the great system of cultivation, there are also various cultivation techniques, as well as various spells and combat techniques, and so on.

……

Sun Quan found that after abandoning the so-called nine-line method, it was much easier to write, and he didn't need to think about those rules and regulations, just write what he wanted to the outside as much as he wanted.

Of course, he also wrote about these two cultivation systems tonight, and there are many, many things he needs to prepare for the outline of the new book.

……

The next day, he continued to write "My Decathlon" during the day, and at night, he began to set up female characters.

or use a woman he has seen in reality as a template, or use a female character in a film or television work he has seen as a template, or use a female character who has appeared in the film and television he has seen as a template, and occasionally recall from his mind the well-known women who have appeared in real history......

He writes one by one, and uses words to improve a character image little by little, and when this image becomes three-dimensional in his mind, he decides whether to use this character in the new book, whether to use it as one of the heroines, or as a supporting role?

He knows that most of the young people he likes at this age like works with many beautiful women, although he still decided not to write below the neck, but he is still happy to set up a few more beautiful characters with different personalities.

This time, another night passed.

……

Another day, during the day, Sun Quan was still writing "My Decathlon", and at night he continued to write the outline of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon".

This time, he set the family background of the male protagonist.

This workload is not small, because in the story of "The Rings of the Immortal Dragon", the male protagonist has been reborn many times, so the family background of the male protagonist has also changed again and again.

Who are your parents, what do you do, and do you have any special skills?

In addition to his parents, are there any powerful people among the hero's relatives?

And does the actor have brothers and sisters, does he have grandparents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.?

What is everyone's relationship with him?

The questions are always more and more written.

In the many rebirths of the male protagonist set by Sun Quan, sometimes he was reborn in a mountain farmhouse, sometimes he was reborn in a well-off family, and sometimes he was reborn in a wealthy family, or a martial arts family, or an official eunuch's house.

The smaller the reborn family, the easier it is for Sun Quan to set the hero's family background, mainly to set up a few people such as parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, etc., if it is troublesome, you can also set the hero's grandparents died early, and there are no brothers and sisters, and there are parents and a family of three at home.

But if the male protagonist is reborn in a wealthy family, or a martial arts family, or an official eunuch's family, he needs to set up more characters.

Parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, don't you have to set up a wet nurse, maid, servant or something for the male protagonist?

Also, do you want to have pets, such as dogs, eagles, tigers, lions, etc.?

Also, since the family is well-off and you want to study literature, do you want to set up one or several teaching gentlemen? If you are more detailed, do you want to set up a few more children to accompany you?

If you want to learn martial arts, do you have to set up the masters who teach the protagonist's martial arts at different stages?

Wait a minute.

There is a lot of work, and Sun Quan's writing is very sour.

The sour thing is the fingers and the heart, and the cool thing is that after writing a large paragraph, when I look back and look back, I feel a little sense of accomplishment in my heart.

As the cultivation level, martial arts techniques, female characters, and the background of the male protagonist's rebirth several times were gradually set, the story of the new "Immortal Dragon Ring" gradually became clear in his heart.

Of course, this little preparation is not enough, and there are still many things that need to be set up slowly.

For example, in the low-armed world in the book, how many countries are there? What is the topography of each country? Is there more mountainous or plain? Is the temperature high or low? Is it inland or near the sea? And under the influence of different landforms and geographical locations, are the clothing habits of that country thin or thick? What kind of eating habits and characteristics will the eating habits form due to climatic and geographical factors? Is this country still martial or forbidden to use martial arts?

And what is the political system of the country? What are the names of the officials at each level, what kind of authority do they have, and so on.

It's easy to write a fantasy book, but it's endless to write a realistic fantasy story, because no matter how much preparation you do and how detailed you set it up, you'll soon find that your preparation is still far from enough, and the setting is still not detailed enough.

In the past, Sun Quan, under the pressure of survival, did not have the patience or the conditions to do it in too much detail, because he wanted to have a good meal.

But in this life, the book "My Decathlon" made him a lot of money, and his family bought a house, although he doesn't have much money at hand, but there are already two yellow stewed chicken shops that are making money for him every day, and he has not worried about food and clothing in a short period of time, and "My Decathlon" is still being serialized, and his income is okay.

So he can be patient and improve the outline of "The Immortal Dragon Ring" little by little, bit by bit, write whatever comes to mind, not too much preparation, lest he prepare too little.
