A few days later, Cao Xue finally came back, and Lu Yang's diet and daily life were finally taken care of, so he could focus more on what he had to do every day. The manuscript of "Magic Sword Eternal" has gradually increased, and the outline of "Dragon and Snake Rising Land" written during work time has gradually been completed, and at the end of March, Lu Yang has begun to start drafting the detailed outline of "Dragon and Snake Rising Land".

The outline is easy to write, but the detailed outline is the most test of people's patience, and every detail must be taken into account as much as possible, the level of national art cultivation, Lu Yang refers to the "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" in his memory, and divides it according to the bright energy, dark energy, and chemical energy.

On top of the strength, it is the way of sincerity, the way of sincerity can predict the danger, one day can not practice the way of sincerity, in the era of guns, there is no life guarantee, no matter how high the kung fu, surrounded by a group of gunmen, there will be no life.

The book "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", Lu Yang read it too early, the last life was read in 08, from now, it has been almost ten years, ten years, enough time for a person to forget all the contents of a book, if it is not "The Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is classic enough, I am afraid that Lu Yang will not be able to remember a star and a half now.

Lu Yang wrote out all the settings he could remember, and then combined with the national art information collected by Teng Hu for him, to further fill in, the setting of the hero and heroine, "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" is very good, Lu Yang has no intention of changing it, the male protagonist is still a high school student with medium academic performance but good athletic talent, and the female protagonist is still the female leader of the international mysterious organization - Tang Zichen.

The formulation of the detailed outline is not destined to be done in a day or two, sometimes. I can draw up a detailed outline of several plots in a day, and sometimes, for several days in a row. I can't make up my mind, how to draw up the outline of the next plot.

Lu Yang has not written works of national art before, in order to write that immersive feeling of fighting, occasionally, Lu Yang will use the form of sketches to outline two characters. Or various fight scenes when several characters are fighting.

Just like when "Magic Sword Eternal" was prepared, Lu Yang also prepared character drawings for this new book. This time, he did not ask for the help of the painter again, and all the figures were designed by himself in the form of sketches.

Tang Zichen's white clothes are fluttering, and there is a dusty atmosphere. Tall and tall. With a calm face and a focused eye, Lu Yang only set up a character painting for this character.

As for the actor Wang Chao and Lu Yang, he designed more than a dozen character pictures, and Tang Zichen's image is basically fixed, because when she appeared on the stage, she was already a master of strength. Touch the threshold of the most sincere way.

And when the actor Wang Chao first appeared, he was just an ordinary high school student image. Later, as he cultivated, his kung fu grew day by day, and his body shape and spirit naturally changed little by little.

In order to highlight the changes in his own image during the cultivation process, when Lu Yang designed this character picture, several of them were bare-chested.

From the design drawings written by Lu Yang, it can be seen that the youthful aura on Wang Chao's body has decreased little by little, not only has his face become resolute and sharp, but the muscles and skin color on his body are gradually changing.

There are two of them, Lu Yang designed the image of Wang Chao when he was practicing, and the muscles and blood vessels of the whole body are very obvious, looking like a murderer.

In addition to the character design drawings of Wang Chao and Tang Zichen, Lu Yang also wanted to draw one or two drawings of all the important supporting characters in the book, as for the maps in the book, this time Lu Yang did not need to design them himself, he could use them directly by going to the bookstore and buying more than a dozen maps.

There are continents, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the United States, as long as there are countries that may appear in the book, Lu Yang will buy a map, and then according to the map, conceive the plot direction of the story.

Because he can't recall the plot of "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", the plot outline of "The Rise of the Dragon and Snake", Lu Yang designed it according to his own ideas.

After buying the map, Lu Yang began to draw lines on the map with a pencil.

An online novel with two or three million words at every turn must have one or even two main lines, and how the main line is designed often determines whether a book feels cool or unhappy for readers!

Many readers often have a similar feeling, that is, many new books, the beginning of two or three hundred thousand words is very exciting, but in the middle and late stages, everyone thinks it is not good-looking.

There is often only one reason for this - and that is the main line!

Two or three hundred thousand words in the early stage of an online article, often only two or three big plots, and even some readers can write two or three hundred thousand words with a big plot, a plot is very well conceived, even if you don't write an outline, brew it in your heart for a little more time, and the effect of writing is often not bad.

If the creativity is good, two or three hundred thousand words in the early stage can often give readers a great sense of novelty and attract many readers, but if the main line is not designed to be attractive enough, in the middle and later stages, it will inevitably fall into the short procrastination plot of the parents, and wear away the reader's sense of expectation for the story little by little.

The biggest gap between the great god author and the street writer is often reflected in the middle and late stages of a book! The great god can write the story more and more exciting, and as the number of words increases, more and more readers can be gathered, while the street writer writes and writes, and as the number of words grows, the number of readers becomes less and less.

As for how to design the main line?

Different authors have different design methods, and Lu Yang didn't have much personal understanding of the main line design before, and often made a fuss about the protagonist's cultivation and emotional progression.

But today, with the number of words written more and more and his experience getting richer, Lu Yang finally has some new understandings recently.

This time to draw up the main story line, Lu Yang adopted several ways to integrate with each other, which ways?

First, the map!

Just these two words, many people may be confused, can the map be integrated into the main story line?

The answer is yes, this inspiration was comprehended by Lu Yang from online games, and anyone who has played online games knows that when the player first enters an online game, the first thing to enter is the novice village, and when the player reaches a certain level, he will enter a small city, and then there will be a big city, a capital, a holy place and other places.

Inspired by this, when Lu Yang designed the main line of "Dragon and Snake Rises from the Land", he had a very clear idea, at the beginning of the story, Wang Chao was in an ordinary inland city, where few people practiced martial arts.

Step by step, through the guò regional martial arts style is strong, and the number of masters is Cheng dù, to push the story step by step to the highest tide, the difference in regions, the number of masters, and the height of the master's kung fu realm determine that the dangers that Wang Chao can encounter will gradually increase.

From the geographical aspect, setting the main line, many authors may have done this consciously or unconsciously.

When Lu Yang draws a line on the map with a pen, he is drawing a main line.

When the story is written, you can determine the direction of the story by looking at the direction of the thin lines on the map.

In addition, the second way Lu Yang set the main line is - national art!

As a novel of the national art category, cultivation is essential!

Readers who have read the upgrade article know that in the early stage of the upgrade article, the exercises practiced by the protagonist must be low-level, and as the strength increases, the intermediate and high-level exercises will be cultivated little by little.

The theme of national arts, destined to be between the exercises, it is difficult to distinguish so many levels, but a few grades does not mean that there are no grades.

Even if you practice a kind of exercise, such as Tai Chi and Bajiquan, there are also differences in difficulty and power between its moves.

Even some kung fu that is not as famous as Tai Chi and Baji have exclusive stunts, and these stunts can be taken out separately or fused with the moves of Tai Chi and Baji, and their power should not be underestimated.

To this end, Lu Yang spent more than a week separating the moves of each exercise, comparing them with the power and difficulty of the moves of other exercises, and finally, he also figured out a main line of upgrading.

This kind of main line only exists in Lu Yang's outline, and it is difficult for readers to see it at a glance.

When "Dragon and Snake Rises" was written, it didn't seem to be an upgrade article, but in fact, the attributes of the upgrade were hidden in the plot.

In addition to the above two points, Lu Yang also extracted two main lines, and finally merged the four main lines into one.

The two main lines extracted from this are feelings and rewards!

In terms of feelings, it seems that Wang Chao and Tang Zichen's relationship slowly warmed up, and finally came together.

In fact, Lu Yang remembered that he had read a theory before, and that theory was called the hierarchy of needs theory!

This theory is researched by the American social psychologist Maslow, in this theory, people live in this world, there are five needs, these five needs from low to high, namely: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs, and self-worth realization needs!

This theory seems to have nothing to do with "Dragon and Snake Rises to Land" that Lu Yang is going to write, but in Lu Yang's opinion, this is also an upgrade system, as long as this system is also included in the main line of the story, the refreshing feeling of the story will inevitably be stronger!

The reason why Wang Chao practiced Guoshu so desperately at the beginning, in addition to his love for Guoshu, was that he wanted to figure out how Guò became stronger, really entered Tang Zichen's world, helped her, protected her, and then stayed with her. In this respect, it can barely be counted as a level of physiological needs.

When Wang Chao really enters the world of martial arts, he will find that there are many masters, and he may be killed at any time, and then cultivate harder, which is a safety requirement.

When the cultivation of other national arts is higher and their own safety is safe, what they need to pursue is almost already the need for social interaction and respect. In the end, when he himself was almost invincible, wanting to explore the deepest path of martial arts was already a need to realize his self-worth. (To be continued......)
