Yi Chao took a long breath, relieved the boredom in his heart, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, it's good for everyone to know, don't do those unhappy things in front of him in the future." Get ready, today I will tell you about the setting of the characters, and analyze the protagonist first. Give you a few minutes to discuss what kind of protagonist is more popular in the current online articles and TV series. ”

Taking advantage of these few minutes, I hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash my face and calm myself down. called Zhou Tong again and asked Jiang Lei about today's situation.

When I got back to my computer, I opened the handout from last time and said, "Last time, I talked about 'drawing maps and telling history', which is the first step. The second and third steps are omitted. Because these three steps are really about designing the environment. Drawing a map is mainly based on the natural environment, and telling history is about describing the background of the characters. The division of spheres of influence is to explain the living environment of the characters. The construction of emotional contradictions is mainly to explain the social relations of the characters. Therefore, these three steps are generally considered together. ”

Liang Yue'e said: "Let's give an example! ”

This step is for the writer to think before writing, not how to write it. For the description of the natural environment, you can refer to "Zhu Xian" or traditional martial arts novels. Dividing spheres of influence, this is very easy, that is, various sects, countries, companies, etc. The early design of emotional contradictions is the grievances between various forces, and when the characters are determined, their social relations will be slowly and concretely refined. Yi Chao thought for a while and said.

"Fatty, tell me first, what kind of role do you like?" Yi Chao asked Qin Xiangyang first.

Qin Xiangyang didn't think about it, and said directly: "Bai Xiaochun of "One Thought Eternal" is a funny character. There are also male protagonists in most traditional martial arts novels, especially Yang Guo and Ling Hu Chong. Zhang Wuji and Yuan Chengzhi, who are gentle and gentle, are a little disgusted. There is also the kind of smart and decisive protagonist, which I like. ”

Teacher Wang added: "Actually, the real protagonists are Zhang Cuishan, Golden Snake Langjun, Xia Xueyi and Yuan Chong. Mr. Jin just used the identities of Zhang Wuji and Yuan Chengzhi to convey their thoughts. ”

Yi Chao nodded in agreement: "Well, these are the male protagonists, did anyone say anything about the female protagonist? ”

Liang Yue'e replied: "I don't read many online articles, mainly watching dramas. Let's talk about a few heroines in the play, the first one is the heroine played by Chen Qiaoen in "The Frog Prince". Then there is the protagonist in the palace fighting drama, who is smart, kind, and ruthless. Oh, by the way, there is also Chu Qiao in "The Legend of Chu Qiao", I like characters similar to her. ”

"Huo Qingtong, Zhao Min, Lian Nishang, Feng Siniang, Zhu Yingtai, Nie Xiaoqian, Dugu Jialuo, and the heroines in modern dramas in Hong Kong dramas, I like most of them. Li Ya also expressed her opinion.

Yi Chao nodded and said, "Well, most of what you said is based on ancient times." Also, domestic modern idol dramas have only developed rapidly in recent years. There are relatively few refreshing heroines. ”

Li Zhikai said lazily: "Aren't the protagonists in the mythological stories fragrant? Sun Wukong, Nezha, Lei Zhenzi, Jingwei, White Lady, Seven Fairies." No matter how bad it is, there are the protagonists in the anime, I think it's better than those in the TV series. ”

Qin Xiangyang said innocently: "Do you mean Sas, Nanedo, or Inuyasha and Kikyo?"

"Virtue! Can't it be domestic?" Li Zhikai said with disdain.

Liu Chunyan smiled and said, "Could it be a gourd baby, a red boy, a red wolf, a gray wolf, or a little demon fairy?"

Liang Yue'e saw that she was no longer sulking, and she also joined in the fun and said: "I saw these when I was a child!"

Yi Chao listened to them more and more biased, and interrupted: "Okay, it's almost." In fact, these protagonists who are more popular with readers and audiences are nothing more than two big types.

One is that the protagonist is more humorous, secondary two or funny. The plots developed by this kind of protagonist are mostly comedies, and everyone likes to see them. For example, Chen Shifei in "No. 1 in the World".

The other type is that the protagonist is IQ-type, this kind of protagonist is generally decisive, scheming, and at the same time responsible, able to turn the tide. To put it simply, it can make readers have a strong sense of substitution, pretending to be a villain in the face. ”

opened the document he had made in the morning, and continued: "No matter what type of male and female protagonists, the male and female protagonists I am talking about here do not refer to those in the same book. Refers to the protagonist in the novel of the big male protagonist and the novel of the big female lead. ”

After a pause, he continued: "These protagonists all have one thing in common, a spiritual level in common. Appearance and personality are the so-called thousands of people. But there is one thing, they are all Xiaoqiang who never admit defeat and persevere. ”

Qin Xiangyang agreed: "The protagonists are like this in the more popular RB anime. Sakuragi Hanamichi, celebrities. ”

Liang Yue'e followed and said: "The protagonists in Korean idol dramas are also like this, like Wu Bisheng and Yin Xiayuan. I found that Korean idol dramas are very good at setting up the kind of Cinderella heroine who is both kind and strong. ”

Mr. Wang knocked on the table and said, "It's not that they're good at it, but that good screenwriters and good writers are good at it." They are also studying in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the mainland has also made rapid progress in recent years. In fact, there is no shortage of such protagonists in our culture, such as Mulan, Jingwei, Agarwood, Yang Jiajiang, and countless others. ”

Yi Chao said with a smile: "This is the spiritual charm of the protagonist, everyone likes this kind of positive and hard-working character."

To sum up, in fact, no matter what kind of character the hero and heroine are, you can apply the five-heart theory I said before. ”

Yi Chao emphatically emphasized: "As long as the protagonist has two or three of them, whether it is persistent, brave, strong, tenacious, or unchangeable, then the protagonist is half of the success." The other half is determined by the character of the protagonist. ”

Li Ya asked, "It's not all, right! The white-haired witch doesn't have these qualities." ”

Yi Chao nodded and said, "There are indeed exceptions to this. Those who do not fit the five-heart theory are also in those two categories. The white-haired witch belongs to the second category, and the IQ type is decisive in killing. ”

"Mr. Lu Xun said that the character models are put together. It is a combination of typical characters with different personalities.

From several typical characters, three points are drawn from each and put together to a protagonist, and he is a new and unique protagonist.

How to distinguish it from other characters depends on the author's skills. Yi Chao concluded.
