Chapter Ninety-Eight: This Is Destiny
The woman nodded and smiled.
"Hehe, yes, you may not understand this concept now, but the 'title party' is still very useful, and I'll give you a more straightforward example.
For example, a news item called 'This fruit is good for the skin when eaten', and there is a headline called 'Shocked! Men are silent when they see it, and women are in tears'.
"It must be behind!"
"Yes, this is the charm of the title, often a piece of news, just because the title is different, it will lead to a drastic change in the number of clicks, this principle can actually be applied to online novels. ”
"Tut-tut, it turns out that there are so many ways to go about the title of the online novel. ”
Tong Yao sighed from the bottom of her heart, she had never thought so much about the title of the book before, almost a title that was more in line with the content, she hadn't thought about it so much at all.
The woman smiled and nodded, and continued.
"The second point is the introduction, after the reader chooses the title of the book they are interested in, after clicking on the homepage, they will first read the introduction of the book, if the introduction is not attractive enough, then it will still be crossed. ”
"What kind of profile is more appealing?"
"I don't know what kind of synopsis is attractive, but I know what kind of synopsis is not attractive, such as your Southern Sword and Northern Sword, which is almost the outline of the entire book, and the whole story has been finished, which is tantamount to spoilers, do you think readers are still interested in reading it?
Also, don't be the same as others, I just probably flipped through the novels in the three categories of Chinese Internet Fantasy, Martial Arts, and Xianxia, and lo and behold, eighty percent of the profiles are similar, basically writing that the protagonist is looked down upon, and then works hard to cultivate, and finally succeeds in revenge, becoming a legend and legend Yunyun and the like.
It's fine if one book is like this, but this book is like this, and readers will vomit just by seeing the introduction, and will they still go to your content?"
Speaking of this, Tong Yao's face was slightly red, because the introduction content of her "Southern Sword and Northern Sword" and "First Sword Maniac" was probably similar to this.
The woman didn't seem to notice, and then spoke.
"The third and most important point is that the online literature circle on your side has just developed, so this concept has not yet been formed, and it has only been more than ten years of attempts on our side that it has been summarized by some editors, called the Golden Three Chapters!!
Actually, it's three chapters, but that's just a general reference, which probably means that the beginning of your novel must be written!
There are two reasons, one is that it is easy to sign a contract written at the beginning, and it is easy to get the appreciation of the editor after signing the contract, and get more recommendations, because it is ...... The editor won't finish the book on you, but will definitely read your first few chapters!!
The second is that when readers choose a book, they will also roughly read your first few chapters, and then decide whether they are interested or interested, so it is recommended to collect a dragon and not interested...... Fork off !! directly"
"That'...... How do you write the first few chapters to keep the reader interested?"
"There are many ways, I'll give you two examples at random, such as cool point density, let's take fantasy novels as an example, the first few chapters can quickly complete the improvement of the protagonist's realm, and then slap the face for revenge, creating a sense of pleasure for the reader, and the reader will naturally continue to read after reading it.
Another example is digging a pit and burying an ambush pen, we take a supernatural suspense novel as an example, in the first few chapters, you can construct a supernatural story, don't directly explain the cause and effect, to create a foggy atmosphere, when the reader reads, he will involuntarily think about the cause and effect of the whole story, thinking about it, he will involuntarily continue to look down.
Either way, in short, remember not to tell the story to others at the beginning, in this case, people will watch it plainly, and there is no desire to read it again. ”
Tong Yao nodded his head, as if he had been empowered, but he frowned and asked in an instant.
"But...... What if the story that happened at the beginning is really prosaic?"
The woman rolled her eyes.
"Then change the way you write, the story is dead, the person is alive, and I still need to teach this?"
"How do you change this?"
"Haven't you heard of flashbacks?"
Tong Yao was stunned for a moment, and then she snorted, and the woman snorted.
"I'll give you another example, such as your book "Southern Sword and Northern Sword", which begins with the birth of the two protagonists of Southern Sword and Northern Sword, and then they grow up, and then they are framed, and then the ending is to get rid of the final boss!
If you change the way you write, the flavor of the whole book will be much improved, for example, at the beginning of the book, you will write about the situation of the two people after they were framed, so that the reader will wonder, why they were framed, how did they get out of danger after being framed, how did they get out of danger after getting out of danger, how did they defeat the final boss after getting out of danger, and in this way, the reader had to continue reading......"
Silly!
Tong Yao was stupid directly!
After listening to the woman's story, she really can't wait to rewrite "Southern Sword and Northern Sword"!
"Master, you are really amazing, I am ...... I've never thought about it so much, I just think of what to write, no wonder my grades are so bad......"
After Tong Yao finished speaking, she asked another question that she shouldn't have asked.
"Master, you know so much, why can't the novels you wrote at the beginning become popular?"
After asking, she regretted it, but the words she said were like water spilled, and it was impossible to take it back, so she subconsciously moved the stool backwards, ready for a woman to be frightening.
But the woman just sighed softly and didn't stick her tongue out at her.
"Alas...... That's fate......"
"Life?"
The woman raised her head, showed an ugly smile, and looked at Tong Yao seriously.
For example, if you write "Southern Sword and Northern Sword" a few years later, it may not even be possible to sign a contract, let alone publish it, this is your life.
When I was writing novels, the online literature circle was already full of gods, and it was too difficult for newcomers to come out. In addition, there are some objective factors, such as recommendations, and the competition intensity of recommendations is different for each category because of the relationship of popularity. In addition, the readership base of each category is also different, which is more complicated, and it is not clear in one sentence or two. I'll tell you about it another day. ”
"Don't change the day, or today?"
"I'm tired today......"
"Oh, Master, I can't get out of my dreams anyway, and I'm idle when I'm idle, so why don't you talk about it......"
"Can't you get out?"
"yes...... I couldn't control it in my dreams. ”
"So, I'll help you?"
The woman said, revealing a weird smile, and then her face quickly distorted, her tongue stretched out, and her eyes applauded, Tong Yao was defenseless, and she fell directly backwards from the stool in fright, and with a scream, she immediately broke away from the dream.
