Recently, 101 carefully read "The Story of Deer and Ding", and really gained a lot, today I will talk about how to write a novel "in detail". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The following is an excerpt from the Lu Ding Ji paragraph, which is that Wei Xiaobao was captured by the princess of Rosa and sent to Moscow, just in time for a coup d'état, and several people were placed under house arrest in the hunting palace.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The captain said: "The young general is only on the orders of the Queen Mother and the Tsar, please don't be strange to the princess." So saying, he took the reins of Sophia's mount and turned eastward.

Sophia was furious, who in her life had ever dared to be so rude to her, and lifted her whip and whipped it at the captain's head.

The captain smiled slightly, dodged away, turned over on horseback, took the inferior soldiers, hugged the princess, and sent them to the hunting palace outside the city together with Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er.

(The musketeers were guarded outside the palace, and no one was allowed to come out.) Princess Sophia was furious and smashed the furniture in the dormitory. The cooks of the hunting palace brought wine and food on time, and they all gave Sophia a dough.

After a few days of this, seeing that the guards outside the hunting palace were not slackening at all, Sophia called the captain and asked him how long he was going to lock him up. --Abbreviated

The captain said: "The queen mother commanded, please ask the princess to rest here, and when His Majesty Peter I celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of his accession to the throne, let the princess go out and participate in the celebration." ”

Sophia was furious and said, "What do you say, Peter is celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of his accession to the throne, isn't he going to lock me up here for fifty years?"

The captain smiled and said, "The young general is forty years old this year, and I believe that he can't serve the princess for another fifty years." After ten or fifteen years, there will be a younger captain to take over. ”

Sophia shuddered at the thought of being locked up here for fifty years, and forced a smile: "Come here, captain, I see that you are quite handsome." "I wanted to tempt me with beauty, so that the captain bowed down under the pomegranate skirt, and let himself go out in a nonsense manner.

The captain bowed deeply, but instead took a step back and said, "Princess, please forgive me." The Queen Mother had a decree: if any of the officers and soldiers of the musket battalion touched one of the princess's fingers, he would be beheaded immediately. If you kill the captain, the vice-captain will be promoted, and if you kill the vice-captain, the captain of the first squad will be promoted. Everyone wants to be promoted, and they are closely monitored. ”

It turned out that the queen mother knew that Sophia was beautiful and romantic, and if there was no such regulation, she was afraid that she would not be able to stay in prison.

After the captain withdrew, Sophia had no choice but to lie on the bed and cry bitterly, and scolded the queen mother without stopping. --- abbreviated

(Wei Xiaobao was locked up in the hunting palace for many days, seeing that the princess only lost her temper every day, and the musketeers on guard were also very rude, thinking that the place of the devil was really ghostly, and discussed it with Shuang'er a few times, and always felt that it was possible to escape from the hunting palace, and it was even more difficult to go back to Middle-earth.) If there is no one to lead, you will be lost in the prairie.

Not to mention that you have to ride a horse for four or five months before returning to Beijing, most of them only walk for four or five days, and you will already be dizzy and unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south.

The two had nothing to do, so Wei Xiaobao had no choice but to fill his mouth with firewood, win a smile from Shuang'er, and chat with him. ---- abbreviated

On this day, it was said that Tang Seng brought Sun Wukong, Sha Monk, and Zhu Bajie to the West to learn scriptures. Wei Xiaobao said: "I'll bet with you, the western sky where Tang Seng arrived must not be as far as Moscow." So, I'm better than Tang Seng. If you don't believe me, what will I bet with you?"

Shuang'er didn't have any interest in gambling, and said: "Xianggong said that he is more powerful than Tang Seng, so he is better than Tang Seng, I won't bet with you." I'm not as good as Zhu Bajie. He pursed his lips and smiled.

(Suddenly, in the princess's room over there, there was another sound of falling objects, beating the bed, stuttering, and crying.) --- abbreviated

Wei Xiaobao sighed and said, "I'll go and persuade, what's the use of crying all the time?" walked into the princess's room and said, "Princess, don't cry, I'll tell you a joke." ”

Sophia fell prostrate on the bed, kicked her feet in turn, and cried, "I don't listen, I don't listen." I want Shariza to go to hell, and I want Shariza Na Daria to go to hell.

Wei Xiaobao didn't understand what "Shariza" meant, and when he asked what it turned out to be "the Tsar's mother", he was very happy and said: "I said that Shariza is a wicked person, it turns out that it is the Queen Mother." Let me tell you, the Chinese Shariza, called the old bitch, is also a big wicked person, and then I came up with a way to get her out of the palace. The emperor was very happy, so he made me a Chinese official. ”

Sophia was overjoyed, turned over and sat up, and asked, "What method do you use?"

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "I drove away the old bitch just because she is a fake queen mother." You old Rakshasa bitch, but you are a genuine Shariza, and my method naturally doesn't work. said: "My method is to collude with the little emperor to deal with the Chinese Shariza." ”

Sophia frowned and said, "Peter loves his mother very much and will not listen to me to oppose Shariza. Unless...... Unless ......" shook his head, got up from the bed, walked barefoot, walked around on the carpet, gritted his teeth and thought.

……

……

Wei Xiaobao listened to the two of them talking about Rakshasa words, and he didn't know what to do, but he couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that he would not agree, and shouted: "He is disobedient, kill him." He drew the dagger from his boot and shaved it on the captain's left cheek, and with a snort, he shaved off a large beard. Sophia laughed, "What a sharp dagger." The captain was so frightened that his face turned earthy, and he thought to himself, "This little barbarian used to hide a short sword in his leather boots, which is really strange, and he didn't find it at that time." ”

Sophia asked him, "Will you surrender or will you make me the tsar?" The captain said, "It's not that I refuse to support the princess, my subordinates will never obey orders." There were twenty battalions of muskets in Moscow, and we had only one battalion, and even if we rebelled, we would not be able to defeat the remaining nineteen battalions. ”

When Sophia heard this, this was reasonable, but when she wanted to explain it to Wei Xiaobao, she couldn't understand it for a while, so she had to gesticulate, and when it came to the 20th battalion musket team, ten fingers were not enough, so she had to take off her shoes and even use ten toes, which was enough for the twenty battalions. Wei Xiaobao easily understood, thinking that this matter was embarrassing, sitting on the chair, thinking hard: "This captain refuses to rebel, and it is useless to kill him." He said to Sophia: "The captain refuses, call the deputy captain to rebel." Sophia said: "Vice captain?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, call the vice captain." ”

Analyse:

101 When I first saw this episode, it was very strange, because according to my thoughts, it should be written that Wei Xiaobao went to the Hunting Palace, how majestic the Hunting Palace was, how many guards were arranged around it, and then how anxious he and Shuang'er were, how Sophia was annoyed, how the three of them discussed escaping, and so on.

If I write like this, I'm afraid that 2,000 or 3,000 words won't be able to stop it.

Because of the original idea of 101, the protagonist suffered a mutation, which should be written in detail, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly understood Jin Yong's intentions, which is really wonderful!

Let's think about it, Wei Xiaobao has just been caught in the hunting palace, is it possible for him to escape immediately? He is not the protagonist of a fantasy novel, and he has no supernatural powers, how can he get out of trouble immediately? Therefore, he will be locked up inside for a while.

Since he is going to be locked up for a while, there is no need to write about how he was imprisoned, the appearance of the hunting palace, and the situation of the guards, there is no need to write in detail, because he is behind the coup d'état, just write about the contradiction between Captain Musket and Sophia.

If it is a prison escape and escape, then it is not, the appearance of the hunting palace and the security situation should be described in detail to pave the way for the prison escape later.

Oops! 101 Thinking about this section, I really jumped up excitedly, it turns out that the so-called details are all for the purpose of the plot of the later text! As long as it is useful for the climax of the later text, it must be capitalized and close-up, and everything that is unimportant and transitional plots will be brushed aside and abbreviated and summarized.

－－－－－－－－－－－

So let's take a look at the details, which ones are written in detail and which ones are abbreviated.

First of all, Sophia's reaction is to write briefly, how to smash things, how to cry, are all summed up in one sentence, why? Because she is not the protagonist, and no matter how angry she is, in the end, only when it is applied to Wei Xiaobao, the reader will care. So Sophia herself was angry and wrote briefly, while Sophia lost her temper with Wei Xiaobao and wrote in detail.

Secondly, the dialogue between Sophia and the captain of the musket is written in detail, why? Because the crisis is pointed out, it is possible to be locked up for 50 years, and Sophia's usual beauty plan is useless, and it is said that if the captain is killed, the vice captain will be promoted, and the vice captain will be killed, and the team leader will be promoted, which is actually a foreshadowing for the following to kill the captain and support the vice captain. This crisis is related to the main character, so it must be written in detail so that the reader can clearly understand.

Again, how Wei Xiaobao and Shuang'er spend their lives is a sketch, why? Because the two had no way to escape at that time, they were bored there, there is no need to write in detail about this kind of day, although it can deepen the reader's depressed mood, but if you think about it carefully, this will slow down the rhythm, so in the choice between creating a "depressed mood" and "maintaining the rhythm", Jin Yong still chose to write about the situation of the two and accelerate the progress of the plot. But in order to avoid the dryness of the plot, I still used the story of Journey to the West to liven up the plot.

Next, it is all written in detail, because the plot is beginning to enter the climax of the rebellion and coup, and the transitional plot has gradually passed, and the following must be heavily colored. But in terms of detailed writing, there is still a paragraph that surprised 101 greatly.

This is the concept of writing that Sophia took off her boots, measured them with ten fingers and ten toes, and told Wei Xiaobao 20.

101 At that time, I didn't expect Jin Yong to write so meticulously, because according to our general idea, it was to force the musket captain to rebel, and then call the deputy captain to come in and kill people. And here I want to write in detail that Sophia takes off her boots and compares them with her fingers and toes, which is in stark contrast to the above abbreviation of her being so angry, smashing things and crying.

One can not be omitted, and the other can not be more detailed, why?

101 pondered carefully, and couldn't help but praise the knot! It turned out that Jin Yong knew very well that in the detailed writing of the plot, he should not spare pen and ink, and the character of Sophia had been abbreviated on it, which seemed not vivid enough, so here she deliberately wrote that she took off her boots and measured the numbers with her fingers and toes.

First, it shows that the situation is urgent, the characters don't have time to think about it, and they are in a hurry to create a tense atmosphere;

secondly, it shows that this character is informal, rough and bold, known as quick and wise, and is a heroine among women;

The third is to add some jokes to this plot and make the reader laugh.

So this little paragraph written in detail really makes 101 Festival appreciated, it is a small dish carefully prepared by Jin Yong, it is really difficult for our ordinary online writers to think so much, I really want to bow to Master Jin!

Summary: The general principle is that the plot or important characters, or the development of the climax of the plot, should be written in detail, and should not hesitate to be colorful; In this way, the plot is compact and does not drag on.

P.S. In the book "Bestseller Writing Skills", it is mentioned that the "stimulus-response" mode allows an author to cross time and space, and a character is faced with a certain stimulus and produces a psychological response, as long as this psychological response does not disappear, it can cross the passage of time and the distance of space.

For example, in the above, Sophia was locked up, and many days passed in between, but because the character's emotions did not stop, she was always angry, angry, depressed and wandering, so the reader did not realize that in fact, a long time had passed in the world of the novel.

It can be seen that abbreviation is abbreviation, and it is important not to let the emotions of the characters be broken, otherwise the abbreviation will have a sense of separation and jumping.
