Chapter 179: The Genius Connoisseur's Counterattack

Yufeng Novel College, Class 107 of the Book Appreciation Department.

Liu Xing sat in a seat in the corner, listening to the lecture.

The teacher who taught the class is a master of the plot genre, his name is Ouyang Lian, who is over 70 years old this year, and is a specially appointed professor from the Western China Academy of Yufeng Fiction.

Today's course is Episodic Attraction.

"As I said in the last lesson, whether a novel has a sense of substitution depends on whether the novel is attractive or not. If the attraction is large, the sense of substitution will be strong, and if the attraction is small, the sense of substitution will be weak. There are many sources of attraction, which can come from the characters, the plot, the setting, the idea, and even the text itself. ”

"Today, we will start learning about the attraction of the plot. According to the novel theory of the plot genre, plots can be divided into two categories, one is positive plots and the other is negative plots. A positive plot has a positive attraction, while a negative plot has a negative attraction. Negative attraction, also known as repulsion. ”

"A good plot flow novel lies in how to balance the transformation of positive and negative plots. As connoisseurs, we know how to calculate the attractiveness of each plot point, so as to judge the sense of substitution in the novel. Okay, let's turn to page 1 of the textbook "Plot Attraction", and we will now explain the first section, how to analyze the force of the plot......"

Rushing!

The 49 students in the class opened their textbooks one after another.

There is only one exception, Liu Xing.

He had just entered the school, and he had not received his textbooks for the time being, and his desk was empty.

At this time, an obese man in a nearby seat suddenly stood up, walked to the seat next to Liu Xing, and said, "Boss Liu, you don't have a textbook?

After speaking, the fat man put the textbook of "Plot Attraction" in his hand on Liu Xing's table. Then sit with Liu Xing.

This fat man is about 23 years old, 1.82 meters tall, and weighs nearly 200 pounds. His name is Zhang Haoran.

"Do you know me?" Liu Xing wondered.

Zhang Haoran smiled: "Of course I know, I went to your meteor book bar to buy several novels." I also have a VIP membership card for Meteor Book Bar. ”

Liu Xing suddenly realized.

The two chatted in a whisper, then shared a textbook together and began to listen to the class.

In fact, for Liu Xing, it is the same with or without textbooks, and he can't understand it anyway. "Plot Attraction" is a subject that Liu Xing has never been exposed to, and it sounds like a book from heaven.

"Look, everybody, in this episode. The potential energy of the fourth plot point of the fourth plot line is 7600 joules, and the potential energy of the fifth plot point decreases to 2500 joules, and the plot potential energy is transformed into plot kinetic energy, and the rhythm of the novel advances rapidly. ”

"We have already calculated the quality of the plot point with the plot matrix moment, and according to the standard psychological function of Chinese citizens, we can know that the attraction of the fifth plot point is 1244 horses. However, the plot is not isolated, and the fourth and fifth plot lines need to be analyzed at the same time, and according to the second law, reading inertia needs to be taken into account......"

"At the same time, the textual summoning structure composed of two plot lines will form a recessive centripetal force, which requires the algorithm of the discrete plot we mentioned earlier......"

Professor Ouyang Lin took a mystery novel called "Strange Cases of the Police Circle" as an example. There is a lot of talk about the attraction of the plot.

The more than 40 students in the class listened attentively, and from their expressions, they all seemed to understand.

Liu Xing was confused.

"The courses in the book appreciation department are really boring, and the introductory courses are already so obscure, no wonder it takes ten years to achieve something. ”

Liu Xing secretly thought that he was not going to delve into these cumbersome theories of book appreciation, and there was no need to learn these theories little by little.

He has a more efficient way to study - into the god novel!

If he can find a novel about the book connoisseur, Liu Xing can directly transplant the memory information about the book connoisseur from the novel. At that time, Liu Xing may suddenly have more than ten years of knowledge as a book connoisseur.

This is a quick guide for a book connoisseur!

Therefore. Finding good novels is king.

Good novels come from good writers, and it's necessary to get to know some of the top writers. This is also the most important purpose of Liu Xinglai's Fiction Academy.

After an hour, the lecture finally ended.

Professor Ouyang said: "This week's homework is to practice plot analysis. After everyone goes back, they will analyze the plot attraction of the first chapter of "Notes on the Book Tomb", and write a detailed analysis process. ”

The students nodded.

"Okay, let's go here for this lesson, and now I'll introduce you to a new classmate. Professor Ouyang Lin pointed to Liu Xing in the corner and introduced to the classmates, "From today on, Liu Xing will become a member of Class 107 of the Department of Calligraphy, and he has just been specially recruited today. Liu Xing has an excellent intuition for book appreciation, and in the past year, he has found nearly 40 star-rated novels from discarded books. Among them, "Notes on the Book Tomb" was discovered by Liu Xing......"

Hearing this, some students in the class who were originally unaware of it cast strange glances at Liu Xing.

The influence of "Book Tomb Notes" is so great that it is self-evident that the Reading Alliance spent billions of yuan to develop book coffin detection sticks and formed hundreds of book search teams, all of which originated from this novel.

"The most important job of a book connoisseur is to find good books. Professor Ouyang Lin said, "Liu Xing has discovered nearly 40 star novels in one year, which ranks first in the entire Tianhai City, so everyone should learn from him the experience of book appreciation......

"......" Liu Xing suddenly felt pressured, and he couldn't understand these lessons in the class.

……

The students in the School of Fiction were still very friendly, and after class, most of the students in the class came over to greet Liu Xing warmly.

"Boss Liu, we are all classmates, shouldn't we each send a VIP membership card of Meteor Book Bar?"

"That's right, if I buy books in the future, I'll look for Meteor Books, remember to give us a discount, hehe. ”

……

In the midst of laughter, Liu Xing and more than a dozen students in the class left the teaching building together and went to the bosom friend book appreciation club.

One of the most famous clubs in the School of Fiction is the Bosom Friend Book Appreciation Club, which was founded by students of the Book Appreciation Department. The main job of the club is to conduct free fiction appraisals for students from other departments of the Faculty of Fiction.

There are more than 200 members in total, and the headquarters of the club is located in Room 101 on the first floor of the library of the School of Fiction.

Walking into the library, Liu Xing saw nine high-speed computers inside. There are a lot of people busy. Some are operating computer book appreciation, and some are responsible for registering the title of the work. Some are sorting out the appraisal report of the novel.

Although the club is full of students from the Book Appreciation Department of the School of Fiction, their degrees are different, and their level of appreciation is naturally different.

The School of Fiction, like ordinary universities, is divided into bachelor's (undergraduate), master's, and doctoral students.

Generally speaking, only a book appraiser with a master's degree or above has the ability to independently authenticate books.

Liu Xing's current class of 107 is a freshman in the first year of undergraduate, and none of the classmates in the class know how to appreciate books, therefore. They can only be responsible for some chores in the community, such as registering works, organizing documents, and carrying books.

As soon as he entered the library room, Zhang Haoran and more than a dozen other students of Class 107 began to be responsible for moving books.

Liu Xing was really not interested in moving books, so he wandered around the library. There are thousands of novels waiting to be identified in the library, most of them written by students in the writing department of the School of Fiction.

Therefore, as long as you stay in this club, you can come into contact with the students of the writing department every day.

"This classmate, which class are you from, why do you look idle?"

Liu Xing was strolling around, at this time. A man came up suddenly, about 32 years old and wearing a pair of glasses. It looks quite gentle.

The man's name is Li Zhigang, a master's student in the Department of Reading, and he is also the deputy head of the Bosom Friend Appreciation Society.

"I'm from Class 107. Liu Xing said truthfully.

"Class 107?, freshmen?" said Li Zhigang, deputy head of the regiment, "Since you are a freshman, you will be responsible for moving books first......

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Haoran on the side had already stepped forward and helped explain: "Senior Li, his name is Liu Xing, and he is new today." Liu Xing is a special student of the School of Fiction. With extraordinary book appreciation ability, Professor Ouyang Lin said that Liu Xing was a genius book connoisseur. It's too condescending to let him move books, isn't it?"

"Genius book connoisseur?" Li Zhigang, deputy head of the group, smiled faintly, "A book connoisseur must study hard for at least ten years. A freshman who doesn't understand anything is a genius connoisseur? First-year freshmen all have to start by moving books, and everyone comes over like this, don't say anything about being unyielding......

Zhang Haoran explained: "Senior Li, Liu Xingke is a special enrollment, and the college has special care. What's more, Liu Xing is the owner of the Meteor Book Bar and a member of the Novel Street, so it's not appropriate for him to help move the books, right?"

As soon as Zhang Haoran finished speaking, many members of the book appreciation club around him showed surprise.

"Liu Xing is really amazing, he became a member of the Novel Street Committee at such a young age, and he said that his net worth has exceeded 10 million!"

"We have a big bookseller in the book appraisal department, it seems that it will be much easier to buy books in the future, haha!"

"Meteor Books, right? I'll have a chance to read it later. ”

……

Hearing the discussion of the classmates around him, Li Zhigang's face changed slightly, as the deputy head of the club, he was actually robbed of the limelight by a first-year freshman, and he felt a little uncomfortable after all.

Li Zhigang smiled again and said, "It turned out to be Committee Member Liu Xing, disrespectful and disrespectful. However, moving books is the rule of the bosom friend book appreciation club, there is no rule without a circle, we can't destroy the rules of the club just because you are alone, don't you say?"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the library suddenly became a little more sparkling.

Many people can see that Deputy Head Li Zhigang seems to want to give Liu Xing, a freshman, a dismissal.

At this moment, a beautiful figure walked into the library, and everyone turned their heads to see a young girl walking in.

The girl is about twenty years old, dressed in white clothes like snowflakes, elegant and natural, and looks quite eye-catching.

As soon as the girl came out, the eyes of many boys in the library suddenly focused on her.

They all recognized that this girl was the most beautiful beautiful writer in the writing department, Zhang Yaxin.

"Senior Li, has my novel "Night Ranger" been identified?"

The voice is sweet but not greasy, soft but not charming, and very pleasant.

"It turned out to be Yaxin's younger sister, and the novel has been identified. Li Zhigang walked to the bookcase, took down an appraisal report of the novel, and handed it out with a gentlemanly smile, "Senior Sister Yaxin, I have personally appraised your book "Night Ranger", and the grade is one star. ”

"Is it still a one-star?" Hearing this, Zhang Yaxin's crescent-like eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her fair cheeks showed a depressed look, "It's been revised more than a dozen times, why is it still a one-star?"

Li Zhigang said with a smile: "Good works are all changed. Sister Yaxin, let's talk at the cafΓ© of the Academy of Fiction at eight o'clock tonight, and I'll give you some suggestions for revisions. ”

Zhang Yaxin smacked her cherry lips: "Isn't this too troublesome for you?"

Li Zhigang said with a smile: "It's not troublesome, it's my honor to be able to exchange creative experience with Yaxin students." It's decided, at eight o'clock tonight, the cafΓ© will be gone. ”

Zhang Yaxin remembered something and said, "By the way, Senior Li, can you return the original manuscript of the novel of "Night Ranger" to me?"

"Absolutely. Li Zhigang turned his head and ordered Liu Xing, "Liu Xing, please take the manuscript of "Night Ranger" to Yaxin, the manuscript is in the No. 1 bookcase No. 19 grid. ”

After listening, some of the surrounding students couldn't help but feel nervous, and Deputy Head Li Zhigang called Liu Xing in front of Yaxin, which was obviously still competing with Liu Xing.

However, to everyone's surprise, Liu Xing actually walked to the No. 1 bookcase without saying a word, and found the manuscript of "Night Ranger".

When he got the manuscript, Liu Xing did not immediately hand the manuscript to Zhang Yaxin, but flipped through it in his hand.

A rush of information came to mind.

Title: Night Ranger

Genre: biographical novel

【Grade】3-star

【Match】25.4%

Three stars?

Liu Xing's eyebrows moved slightly: Strange, this "Night Ranger" is obviously a three-star, how can Li Zhigang, this kid, be a one-star?

Calculation error?

Unlikely!

The difference between the quality of a three-star and a one-star is very obvious, and Li Zhigang is a master's student in the Department of Book Appreciation, and has been studying book appreciation for more than ten years, so he will not make such a low-level mistake.

So, did Li Zhigang do it on purpose?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing basically understood the situation.

It is likely that Li Zhigang deliberately miscalculated the grade of the novel, and then took the opportunity to provide Zhang Yaxin with suggestions for the revision of the novel. In this way, Li Zhigang and Zhang Yaxin can have more opportunities to date.

"Liu Xing, why are you so abrasive?" Li Zhigang's voice was slightly deep, urging, "Let you take the manuscript, I didn't let you read the manuscript, why don't you give the manuscript to Senior Sister Yaxin quickly......"

"Senior Li, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Zhang Yaxin said softly.

Liu Xing continued to flip through the manuscript slowly, and after a few minutes, he suddenly said: "I'm afraid this "Night Ranger" is not a one-star novel, but a three-star novel!"

Hearing this, Li Zhigang's face suddenly froze!
