The last post 101 talked about foreshadowing + character portrayal, and the use of ingenuity in writing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, it seems that everyone pays attention to the portrayal of the characters and resonates with the characters to promote the plot, but they don't have a deep understanding of the "ingenuity writing".

This post 101 will further analyze what is "ingenuity writing".

－－－－－－－－－－－

The so-called "ingenuity writing" means that the author writes any plot and creates any character, with far-reaching considerations.

As mentioned in the previous 101, there are three realms of conception -

Elementary: Only conceive a few selling points;

Intermediate: Wrap up the plot of the selling point, set up a number of foreshadowing, and set off to make the selling point burst out more refreshingly.

Advanced: On the basis of intermediate, taking into account the influence of character factors, on the surface it is to write the plot, but in fact the focus is on portraying the characters. The plot is for the characters, and the characters, in turn, drive the plot. When the selling point plot erupts through a series of foreshadowing, the characters act as the catalyst in it, which will make the outbreak more violent and shocking!

And one more-

Super: This kind of focus is to write a story that makes readers cry, laugh, scold and sorrow, so in the plot conception and arrangement, foreshadowing, character building, and the revelation of contradictory relationships, it must be carefully designed, such as "Zhu Xian", or Jin Yong's novel, the author's goal is to make readers cry, laugh, scold and sorrow.

Therefore, this way of conception, in addition to focusing on the plot and characters, should also pay attention to the excavation of human nature, and the discussion of social ethics and morality is not just a shallow level of Xiaobaiwen.

Well, to illustrate:

1. What is the selling point plot?

For example, if a restaurant's pork ribs with sauce are a signature dish, then this pork ribs with sauce is its selling point, relying on this signature to attract diners.

2. Elementary ideation.

The owner of the restaurant directly brought the sauce pork ribs and ate it, without any explanation, whether it was delicious or not, it all depends on the feeling of eating. This way of presenting the selling point is simple and crude, with a single line and no skills.

3. Intermediate ideation approach.

The owner of the restaurant will arrange diners to queue up for seats, and the diners will have a sense of expectation as soon as they line up. At the same time as arranging seats, let diners look at the exquisite recipes, see the drool, and the sense of anticipation continues to hang; Then you will be seated, and a waiter will be arranged to introduce the long history of our pork ribs; There is also a lottery with a consumption of 200 yuan; Piano accompaniment, diners' interactive message wall...... In short, the core selling point is the sauce pork ribs, but there are several means to enhance their value around this core.

This is the foreshadowing and setting, the purpose is to make the diner's sense of expectation more sufficient, and the greater the psychological satisfaction and pleasure of eating.

3. Advanced ideation methods.

Compared with the intermediate level or the arrangement of things, the advanced concept will consider the human factor, such as arranging a sweet lady to welcome the guests, a considerate usher, a considerate usher, the piano accompaniment is an elegant man, and the surrounding diners are polite and decent.

In other words, the plot is dead, but people are alive, and what effect the plot can achieve depends entirely on the characters.

4. Super ideation method.

This kind of story may be a kind of story display for the history of the restaurant, there may be a poignant love story behind it, maybe it is an inspirational story for the glory of the country, in short, it provides diners with not only food, not just service or experience, but a spiritual journey, an unforgettable feeling.

It can be seen that the so-called "ingenuity conception", the novel that is finally presented to the reader, completely depends on the author's focus, the higher the focus, the higher the complexity of the story, and the more exquisite the design must be, like an onion, peeling off layer by layer.

To describe the realm of chess:

For beginners, the depth of conception is 3 moves.

For intermediate players, the depth of conception is 7 moves.

Advanced chess player, the depth of conception is 20 moves.

Super chess player, the depth of the idea is unknown.

And the interesting phenomenon is that high-level chess players look at low-level chess players, and the intention of chess is clear at a glance, while low-level chess players look at high-level chess players, but they often can't understand it. For example, many people once thought that Tomato's book was not difficult, it was Xiaobaiwen! But then someone went to study, and the more they studied, the more surprised they became, and it turned out that the depth of the idea of the Tomato Book was staggering, and there were many things that could not be seen through.

Therefore, Tomato's book looks simple, but it is difficult to imitate, because his realm is almost a super chess player, and many algorithmic intentions are often difficult for low-level authors to understand.

Finally, take "Absolute Death Game" as an example to illustrate how the author carried out "ingenious conception".

First of all, the core selling points are "the threat of death" and "the mystery of the game".

Therefore, when conceiving, it is necessary to run through the threat of death from time to time, highlighting the atmosphere of horror and mystery, not only to make the people around the protagonist often die, but also the protagonist must always face death threats, and most importantly, to write about the reactions and choices of people from different camps, different personalities, and different interests in the face of death threats.

Therefore, the author opens with "The Death of the Warrior Monk", which is to tell the reader, hey, my book is just playing with death threats, look! One died as soon as it came up, do you want to know what's going on? Come on, look down!

Of course, the attraction of death alone is not enough, in order to highlight the mystery of this selling point, the author added 8,000 yuan to hire gamers with a high salary, which is like the above example to set off the means of "sauce pork ribs".

Mysterious temptation + death makes the opening of this book full of anticipation.

Then, you need to consider the factors of the characters, in order to continue to increase the sense of expectation, the author cleverly introduced the protagonist Xiao Buli through Qingyang Studio, writing that he is the head of a professional game studio, with super analytical skills and great strength.

In this way, it is equivalent to drawing a big pie first, and then arranging a protagonist with a full personality and professional counterpart, the puzzle is there, and the competent candidate to solve the puzzle is also available, and the reader naturally waits with interest to see its performance.

So far, "ingenuity conception" has played a great role, what to introduce first, what to introduce later, and how to introduce it are all designed around the core selling point.

Now that the reader's sense of anticipation has been lifted, he can endure some relatively flat background information, or set an introduction, but only 1-2 chapters of patience.

So at this time, the author thinks about the place where the protagonist should fight in the future, the introduction of the mysterious company, and the introduction of the supporting characters around him who will be useful in the future. But the introduction is the introduction, the story can't be stopped, and it goes through the following plot - the protagonist goes to the bar to meet Bang Shao, then goes to the interview, then has a physical examination, eats in the cafeteria and gets acquainted with his teammates, until he finally enters the game.

The key characters introduced in this paragraph are, the protagonist's funder Bang Shao, the project initiator Miss Qin, the project leader Li Jian, the protagonist's teammates 4 people, and the hidden character hood man Jiang Xia.

It can be seen that this series of events is written to move the story forward, and the purpose of the story is to lay the background and introduce the characters.

The stage is set up, the actors are introduced, and the big drama begins!

－－－－－－－－－－－－

Let's pay attention here, about the core selling point, here is the mystery of the game + the threat of death, you can't let go at any time, the selling point is the selling point, if the story is not written around the selling point, it is equivalent to the sauce ribs restaurant starts selling kimchi, and the reader will definitely run away.

So the author is very shrewd, in the character has just been introduced, before entering the game, the arrangement of the canteen of 4 people talk, that is, the last post 101 analysis of the paragraph, the purpose is to highlight the mystery of the game, although the threat of death at this time is not obvious, but arrange a mysterious hood man to appear from time to time, in the back to reveal the mystery, it turns out that he is the soul of the dead former player Jiangxia.

It can be seen that "ingenuity conception" requires a clear purpose, and then under a clear writing purpose, the depth of foreshadowing, for example, the soul of Jiangxia came out very early, but he was used after dozens of chapters, during which he was used repeatedly as a prop to enhance the mystery of the game, and after revealing the mystery, it deepened the threat of death.

Speaking of which, 101 mentions the choice of scenes, for example, the scene where 4 people talk about the game is in the cafeteria, which is extremely cleverly chosen.

Why not the bathroom, the interview room, or the office?

Let's think about it, where does talking about the secrets of the game, that is, talking about work, with the nature of gossip, generally take place? Is it going to smoke among colleagues, or going to eat and drink? Did there be 4 people talking when they ran to the toilet and squatted in the pit? It's okay for 2 people to squat in the pit, how can there be 4 people squatting together? It's impossible to discuss it like this in the office, right under Li Jian's nose?

Besides, the 4 people are all joined together, and they are not familiar with each other, so they can't talk about this as soon as they meet, right?

Moreover, another purpose of the author's arrangement of this paragraph is to try to show the personality characteristics of 4 people, so it needs a relaxed and high degree of freedom, and it is only an occasion to eat together.

When 101 first saw this paragraph, he thought a lot in his head, from the time the protagonist was recruited to the first time he entered the game, why did he arrange for 4 people to eat together? After the interview, the 4 people are familiar with it, can't you go directly to the game? So at that time, I always felt that the plot of eating was a little strange, and I don't know why the author arranged such a paragraph.

Now I understand, it turns out to be very effective and has a deep intention!

It can be seen that when designing the scene under the "ingenuity conception", you will find that the brain is very clear, what occasion to arrange, what to narrate, and the performance of the characters are all set to death, and there is only one best plan, you can only choose it!

There are never superfluous characters or superfluous plots, each one is useful and must appear!

Finally, briefly give the story line of "Absolute Death Game" around the core selling point, 101 will not be repeated here, everyone can read it if you are interested, and confirm the "ingenuity idea" proposed by 101, right?

After 4 people enter the game, through open-ended NPC dialogue, the difficulty of the game, the swineherd task, etc., the mystery of the game is reflected, and the fun of the game is expressed at the same time, and the interest of readers continues to be aroused;

When the characteristics of the game are basically introduced, and the cultivation of the 4 people comes to an end, the following is Li Baocheng's murder and trouble, which promotes a big turning point in the plot, with the aim of creating a climax;

Sun Bin proposed to escort Li Baocheng to escape in the wild, starting an adventure of 4 people under the dungeon, and at the same time, Jiang Xia's mission was triggered, and the protagonist came into contact with the true secret of the game;

Next, the protagonist goes to solve Jiang Xia's mission in reality, discovers the threat of death, and returns to the game, he encounters Sun Bin's death, and the terrible luck reduction ring appears as a prop to create a mystery;

After that, the protagonist enters the Qinglong group, continues to discover the secrets of the game, and continues to experience death threats, and then the death of the Qinglong group, the death of Li Jian, the death of Li Baocheng, the death of Zhao Yun, etc., one after another, in order to increase the reader's attention to death, every dead character has been raised for a long time, and the pet died, once it died, the reader will have a strong emotional resonance, which in turn shows the great cost of death, and has to be treated carefully.

The arrogant and arrogant Sun Bin was the first to fall, which was really suffocating; And the player who inadvertently picked up the disc and entered the game, faced death again and again without knowing it, that part is even more wonderful!

In reality, players don't stop dying, NPCs in the game don't stop dying, and the protagonist is always being hunted down, and the more you understand the mystery of the game, the more mysteries there are.

It can be seen that the game is mysterious + death threats, these two weapons are firmly grasped by the author, and bullets are shot at the reader, and the one who hits will fall, which is really a big killer! It's no surprise that the book is so good-looking that it is a high-quality product.
