Many years ago, the term "golden finger" was popular in the online literature industry.

Many years later, "Goldfinger" is still regarded as the golden rule by online articles, and most website editors who want to sign novels such as fantasy, fairy tale or fantasy also use this as one of the criteria for signing contracts.

But today, Weird would like to talk a little bit about my personal understanding of "Goldfinger", an understanding of "Goldfinger that is different from the routine of online articles".

In fact, every novel has a special golden finger set by it, whether it is realism, unrealism, or illusory realism.

To put it bluntly, to put it bluntly, the gold finger is a tool to facilitate the author's cheating, and this kind of cheating can be logical, can be accepted by readers, and even liked.

The setting of Goldfinger is inseparable from the accumulation of the author's knowledge structure and life experience, and the more the accumulation of knowledge structure and life experience, the more logical the Goldfinger will be.

Usually the golden finger in fantasy, time travel, rebirth and other genre novels,

Not born with special skills such as history, science and technology, medicine and other majors,

It is a special object such as jade pendant, ring, sword, etc.,

Otherwise, it is the powerful background of the emperors and generals of the previous life and the next generation.

And so on and so forth...... This is a public routine of online articles, which is clear at a glance.

But—

There is also a kind of gold finger opened by the author, but it is very hidden and not easy to be discovered by readers.

After more than ten chapters of the strange "Legend of the Three Sons of the Classic of Mountains and Seas" were uploaded, an enthusiastic reader once said: After reading more than a dozen chapters, I didn't find the golden finger, so I suggested changing it, and trying to make the golden finger appear as early as possible.

I'm very grateful to this reader for reading my novel and kindly reminding me, but there is a golden finger in my novel, and it appeared early.

W- where?

W- where?

W- where?

Perhaps 70% of the readers who read this "Legend of the Three Sons of the Classic of Mountains and Seas" have this skeptical attitude: Where is your golden finger?

Another 30 percent of the audience is a different story.

In fact, some authors have a golden finger, which is mixed with the novel, and it is not easy for readers to notice, so they think that there is no golden finger, but the fact is that they are not aware of it.

Unfortunately: Monsters are one of those authors.

Before unraveling the mystery of the golden finger, please allow the monster to illustrate with a few examples:

Example 1: Mr. Jin Yong's "Dragon Babu".

Mr. Jin Yong has a lot of gold fingers in "Dragon Babu", but there is a special gold finger, I don't know if readers have noticed?

And this golden finger is - sweeping monk!

Mr. Jin Yong wrote and wrote before, and he wrote about the plot of the Shaomu Mountain Martial Arts Conference,

But when I wrote this, it was not easy to deal with the relationship between Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Yuanshan, as well as the old monster of the stars, Xuzhu and others present, so I made an expedient way to get a sweeping monk out (of course, this is also the result of the old gentleman's inspiration after thinking about it day and night).

Only by opening a golden finger like "sweeping monk" can the forces of the two sides be balanced, so that one side will not lose too badly and disrupt his writing plan: live the living, the damn die.

If there is no sweeping monk appearing, "Tianlong Babu" will fight here, and the whole book may be about to end, because either Murong Bo's father and son die, or Xiao Yuanshan's father and son die, how to write it next!

The sweeping monk appeared in shock, and then disappeared.

Of course, after completing the task, why keep him?

Therefore, it is right to call this kind of gold finger tentatively open at any time.

In "Dragon Babu", this kind of tentative and ready gold finger can be seen everywhere.

Some people say: "Dragon Babu" is the most lively novel written by Mr. Jin Yong, but it is not the best novel, probably related to this casual golden finger.

Example 2: The American large-scale magic TV series "Game of Thrones".

"Game of Thrones" also has a golden finger.

What is this golden finger?

Actually, it's Bran - the three-eyed crow!

Bran can see the past and see the future, unpredictable and prophetic, metaphor for what happens in this novel from beginning to end, he can see it at a glance [of course, it is also slowly realized (the screenwriter must set it this way in order to let the plot develop slowly)].

The screenwriter arranged the character of Bran, mainly through Bran when his huge plot narrative was not easy to connect or handle, and the actual character of Bran was the golden finger that the author himself prescribed, which is usually called God's perspective.

In Game of Thrones, the character of Bran is a permanent goldfinger.

If it is necessary for the plot to continue, then the character of Bran will never die, but if he does, then it is time for the whole show to end.

Example 3: "God List".

Does "Fengshen List" have a golden finger?

Of course!

The golden finger that this author opened for himself is - Shen Gongbao.

In a "Fengshen List" with a lot of bizarre characters, how to organically connect all the storylines of the eight righteous gods without being abrupt?

In the end, the author came up with a way to connect with a character, and this character is Shen Gongbao! Remember Shen Gongbao's line: Daoyou walk slowly!

So under the instigation and picking up of Shen Gongbao, the subsequent eight righteous gods came one after another, because of the character of Shen Gongbao (Goldfinger), all the storylines became reasonable.

In fact, this Shen Gongbao is the author himself, what character he wants, he will invite through Shen Gongbao, not to mention the eight righteous gods, even the eighty righteous gods are easy to write, of course, this depends on the author's life experience and knowledge reserves.

Just the above three examples are enough to illustrate: there are goldfingers in some novels that are different from the routines of online texts.

And there are many, many examples like this, such as the bell ringer in Hugo's "Notre Dame de Paris", the piano player in Lao She's "Teahouse" (watching the movie), and the stupid people often mentioned in Mo Yan's novels, the author uses these characters to express his views on society or life, which is actually the author's golden finger.

And the most frequent opening of the golden finger is Taiwan's "Thunderbolt Puppet Show" series, whenever the story reaches a big ** and a large number of characters need to die, the screenwriter will open a big character to come out and kill these people, that is, the so-called "Soy Sauce Emperor". The deepest memory is the peerless battle between the "Abandoned Heaven Emperor" and the Sword Saint, One Page Book and others. (If readers have time, it is recommended to take a look and learn about it.) ）

Writing here, it should be time for the readers to unravel the golden finger in "The Legend of the Three Sons of the Classic of Mountains and Seas".

However, the weird still doesn't want to unravel the mystery, otherwise it's not to underestimate the weird readers.

Those who know me say that I am worried.

He who does not know me shall say that I want anything.
