"Okay, the time is up, students who haven't finished writing, don't write for the time being, let's hurry up. In the video, as soon as the time arrived, Jiuli interrupted everyone's practice and started to lecture.

"Let's go to the second step.,The first step is a finishing process.,You need to have a stronger inductive ability.,If you're thinking about the plot.,It's even slower.,I just watched.,Many students haven't been able to complete this step well.,Don't be discouraged.,It's a warm-up.。

Just now we have sorted out the current main line, and the last plot clue is "the consequences/effects caused by the current plot events", and now we are asking you to adjust this "consequences/effects" in the second step.

Please adjust the following three directions, please pay attention to it:

1. Overturn the previously preset consequences and make this consequence not valid.

2. Make the consequence more serious, if the logic of the event itself does not conform to the design of "the consequence becomes serious", then let the consequence become "the event has caused other negative changes".

3. Postpone/delay the end of the event, so that the event has not completed the preset goal at this point.

Special emphasis: Please note that this step does not require you to list "how to achieve change, methods"

It is only a direct adjustment of the consequences, not the method, but the consequences.

For example, if you set the consequence that a character is dismissed because of the outcome of the current event, in this exercise, you directly change this consequence to:

1. No, he was not dismissed

2. No, he was not only dismissed, he was sentenced to death, or he was dismissed and other people were implicated

3. No, he should have been dismissed, but the court put it on hold. What are the specific reasons for "not being dismissed", what circumstances have caused "the court to put it on hold", and what causes "more extensive involvement" These do not need to be explained at this step, just directly and rudely explain, what kind of consequences you changed the outcome to, and then we start our next casual exercise,

What you didn't have time for the first step can now be filled in. Give everyone 30 minutes. After Jiuli finished speaking, she didn't explain much, put down the textbook in her hand, picked up another book and read it, and the students in the audience were also writing their homework.

"Ahem, it's all done, right?" 30 minutes passed quickly, Jiuli cleared his throat and said, and the people in the audience raised their heads and said that they had finished writing

"Okay, now let's start the third step, all of them are in good spirits, and focus on the third step, which is the most important thing for you.

Read the question carefully first, don't rush away to do the question to see the explanation clearly, in fact, the topic itself is also the third step, which is also the most important step, "design the side plot",

Pathways/Methods of Deferring "Consequence/Impact":

Please pay attention to the requirements, the third step has many requirements:

1. If you have just written down the methods/means/ways to adjust the "consequences/effects", then you can not use the same methods/means/ways in this step of the exercise.

2. The main executive character of the approach/method, that is, the central character of the side plot, cannot be the central character of your current events (change roles)

3. The location/space where the plot of the approach/method takes place cannot coincide with the location/space where your current plot event takes place.

4. Design a method/way to change the "consequences of the ending" without adjusting the "ending of the current plot event". That is, the original "ending" part has not been changed, and the plot logic of adjusting the consequences is still smooth.

5. The plot time of the approach/method is parallel to the current main line.

There are so many requirements, it is estimated that many students are going to faint, let me explain again, the above requirements mean:

You're currently writing this story, and you're now sorting out the main thread that is relevant to the storyline

This main plot story,There is also a phased ending.,This ending will inevitably have some impact on the subsequent plot.,In the previous exercise steps, you were asked to directly modify the "consequence impact" backwards.

Now you are required to formally design the cause of this "modified consequence", that is, "the methods and means that caused the original consequence to change", and we require that when designing this step, you need to pay attention to this method, approach, and means, which do not coincide with the current main event, and the main characters do not coincide, but are in other places, led by other characters, and occur roughly at the same time as your current main event.

Such an event that takes place in the same time in different locations and characters causes your main story to be changed. If you don't understand it, read it several times.

Let me talk about the scoring criteria for this step of the in-class exercise:

If you think that all of the following five items are met, 1 point will be given, and if one of them does not meet or you can't understand what is being written, 0 points will be given.

1) The means/ways mentioned in the previous step have not been used, and it should be noted here that if the previous practice does not list the solution paths, this article can be ignored.

2) Changed roles.

3) Changed the location.

4) The previous "ending" has not been changed, and the consequences brought by the ending will be made valid after adding new plot elements, so that the previously adjusted "consequences impact" plot will be established.

5) Time is basically parallel to the main story.

If you have listed the same pathway before, you can't use the same method, you have to change to a new method.

Not changing the previous ending means the third step of the exercise, and not changing the three new plot outcomes that you designed in the second step. Now that you understand, you can start doing the exercises, and the stop time is 40 minutes, everyone, come on. Jiuli said.

"Okay students, the time has come, I see that many students have already finished writing, today's three-step practice in class, this is the end. Jiuli said.

"It seems that many students are still in a fog, and after the three-step exercise, the next step is today's official class

Today I'm going to talk about designing a side plot, so let's practice first, because this lesson is easy to understand only if you try your best to understand it.

Through the previous exercises, some students may have understood the entire exercise steps, which is actually the simplest and most practical way for us to design a side plot, which is called the "reverse deduction method".

The so-called backward branch line method is to directly change the stage consequences of a plot point in the current story, and reverse the introduction of a new event that causes this change, which does not coincide with the location of the current main event, does not coincide with the main character, but occurs at the same time in time, and it is the emergence of this event that causes your main plot to be affected and changed.

Designing a side plot in this way is called the reverse thrust branch line method, and using the reverse thrust method to design a side plot for the story is a more fun process, and you will suddenly find that your brain is still very big, or you can have a lot of brain holes

So when you master it, you need to be restrained.

Of course, to avoid the noisy side plot, when your plot is stuck, it is easy to design a branch line to make the plot be pushed back up, if you didn't design a branch line that satisfies you in the exercise just now, and you don't even fully understand it, don't be impatient, go back and study hard at night.

When designing a side plot, we should also first clarify the definition, what is a "side plot"? We should easily understand that the so-called side plot is relative to the main plot, first of all, you have to have a main plot, and then there is a side story that forks out from the main line, right?

Side plot is an event related to the main story that will affect the development of the main story in the future, and this event is happening at the same time as the main story event, but we should not simply understand that "the side plot is an event that occurs in different places for different characters at the same time".

The side plots have nothing to do with whether the characters are multi-person or not, and whether the camera follows the protagonist, some side plots are completed by other important characters, some side plots are completed by the protagonist himself, and some side plots are completed by new characters who appear for the first time, or even supporting characters who only appear once.

Today's training is just to use the simplest situation to do training or that sentence, to break down the definition, because the solution to the problem is often in the process of understanding the problem. If you understand that the plot subplot is another story outside the main story, why don't you write the main story well, and write a "different story"? ”
