They focused on the analysis of the supporting roles in the three themes of business warfare, workplace and romance in the urban genre.

After a few minutes of rest, Yi Chao continued: "How to design the villain's supporting roles is also divided into several categories according to the needs of the plot. ”

"The first is the reversal of the dragon set. The negative supporting character who only appears once, or can't survive a few chapters. Under normal circumstances, it will take the initiative to send it to the protagonist to slap his face, reflecting the charm of the protagonist from the side and highlighting the aura of the protagonist, which will increase the popularity and popularity of the protagonist in the story. ”

This kind of trick often appears repeatedly in online articles. Yi Chao decided to talk about it and discuss it, "They seem to be dispensable, but they are used to enrich the plot." Make the detailed small plots in the outline full and connect them with the main plot. Fatty, do you want to see who these kinds of characters are?"

Qin Xiangyang didn't think about it, and replied: "It's very simple, the arrogant son of the gentleman was slapped in the face by the protagonist, and the villain was killed by the protagonist for killing and grabbing treasures. ”

Yi Chao nodded and said: "Yes, the small characters of gentlemen, street bullies and robbers, these cannon fodder characters are all supporting roles that often appear in online articles. ”

Li Ya asked, "What are they like in modern urban stories?"

Jiang Lei said with a smile: "The workplace novices who are at the same time as the protagonist generally make bad things behind their backs and frame the protagonist. The mission of existence is to make the protagonist recognize the workplace situation and get used to workplace life. There are also all kinds of exes, scumbags, scumbags, there are always one or two openings in romance novels, and the role is to make the protagonist appear in various situations, and then meet the current object. ”

Yi Chao continued: "These tricks are the so-called thousands of miles to send people's heads, and they are all in the vanguard death squad. The next category belongs to the bullying pawns and dogs.

One is the active type, with a poor IQ, and is willing to be a thug for the hidden villain Boss.

The second is a flatterer, in order to please the villain boss or villain forces, he works extremely hard to make it difficult for the protagonist.

The third is the treacherous people who want to reap the benefits of fishing and have ghosts in their hearts. thinks he is smart, and it seems that everything is for the villain boss, but in fact it is for his own selfish interests.

Fourth, they are forced to be helpless. It can be an individual, or it can be a small force. is often in a dilemma under the obscenity of big forces, and under reluctant conditions, he is in a dilemma with the protagonist.

Fifth, the coerced. The villain threatens the lives of his relatives, or he is seized by the villain and has to fight against the protagonist. ”

Yi Chao slowed down: "All these things end in nothing more than four situations. One is to be killed by the protagonist, the second is to be influenced by the protagonist, the third is to be killed by the villain, and the fourth is to flee the land of right and wrong alone. Let's discuss it again and see if there are those vivid characters. ”

Qin Xiangyang volunteered and was the first to express his views, which led everyone to discuss for another half an hour.

After everyone finished discussing, Jiang Lei said: "In modern literature, most of the people who belong to this kind of role are unimportant low-level managers, people who are greedy for the company's small gains, or people who are bought by money. Set up different characters according to the specific needs of the story. ”

Yi Chao continued: "The third category is the more important villain supporting roles, which can be said to be powerful villains.

One, a character who grew up at the same time as the protagonist and was suppressed by the protagonist everywhere. Because he is unwilling and competitive, he will fight against the protagonist for life. There are more storylines for this kind of character, and they will vigorously promote the development of the story. It can even grow into the final big boss.

Second, the protagonist offends the characters on the way to fight the monsters. As the saying goes, if you hit the small, the big one will come out, and if you hit the big one, the old one will come out. Rushing out halfway, in general, the strength is stronger than the protagonist at that time. It creates a sense of oppression for the protagonist and is the whetstone and touchstone of the protagonist.

Third, characters who are both good and evil, friends and enemies. People with eccentric personalities are mostly people who are both good and evil. The grass on the wall in the interests is sometimes good and bad for the protagonist.

I'm only thinking of these three cases at the moment. As for the last type of villain, they are basically big bosses and villains, either heroes or traitors. This kind of character, everyone has watched traditional martial arts novels and TV series, and has been exposed to it more. ”

"It's over?" Jiang Lei asked suspiciously when he saw that he began to look for some online works.

Yi Chao: "It's over!" I've summarized these points. Oh, by the way, there is also a hidden ultimate villain, Yue Buqun's kind. ”

Yi Chao glanced at everyone: "No matter how much you analyze, it's better to experience it from examples." I looked for a few books and let's see what kind of supporting characters they are.

Among several masterpieces, the supporting characters are the best, and I personally think it is "Full-time Master".

Those important supporting characters have very unique and different personalities, and they strictly abide by the principle of consistency between words and deeds. Even the characters created in the game adhere to this principle.

The words and deeds of the game characters in the game, the skills they use, including the fighting skills, are completely consistent with the supporting characters as the players. That's where the author comes in. ”

Jiang Lei added: "Without a complete outline, it is impossible to achieve a consistent full text. There are many supporting characters in many books, but few of them can be remembered. The reason for this is nothing more than that there is no outline, no character design, no way to make the characters' words and deeds consistent with their personalities, and the author himself does not know that the writing is wrong. ”

"The supporting characters in the Hokage are also very well designed. Qin Xiangyang couldn't help but admire, "You can completely put it into those categories." Several whites in the wood industry have different personalities and are all outstanding. In terms of villains, like the Sand Shadow trio in the early stage, the decapitation of the big sword Taodi and Xiaobai, Orochimaru's subordinates, and the members of the Boss Group Xiao Organization, each of them is very special. ”

Yi Chao agreed: "It's not for nothing that the Hokage has been popular for so many years. Including these masterpieces of online articles, in addition to the attractive storyline, the design of the characters is definitely crucial. ”

Fortunately, the books signed on the platform can be set up with roles, so you don't have to bother to find relevant descriptions in the book, and you can see the role information set by the author in the book details.

Yi Chao found some and discussed them with everyone: "As I said before, there is no need to classify and analyze the appearance and personality of the characters separately. As we discuss, let's take a look at some of the physical and personality traits that are deeply rooted in people's hearts. ”

Liang Yue'e suddenly smiled and said: "Fat man! In many books, the eternal supporting character is a big fat man." After speaking, Chong Qin Xiangyang stuck out his tongue.

Qin Xiangyang thought she was calling herself, but seeing that everyone was looking at her, she had to smile innocently: "Because the fat man is very popular!"
