101 On Writing (113) "Substitutional Conception Method
Recently, 101 has been studying some of the studies in the growth process of the great gods, and it happened that today I turned to the book "Warcraft Sword Saint Otherworld" by Tudou, and I had some insights, so I quickly recorded it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
First of all, let's talk about the misunderstandings that 101 writing entered before:
I found that a writer like the great god is naturally very good at YY, and he can catch the cool place at once.
And my previous thinking has entered a misunderstanding, artificially setting too many obstacles for the protagonist, and placing the story above the protagonist.
In fact, their core idea is that an ordinary person has seven emotions and six desires, goes to a strange and dangerous world, but at the same time has the golden finger of cheating, how to carry out the struggle of life
The focus is on cheating, solving problems, and reaping happiness.
The focus of the pen is to lay out a wonderful and interesting world, creating several vivid and interesting characters, protagonists, heroines, brothers, enemies and so on.
I used to think it was too complicated, and the paving was very complicated, but the protagonist's ability to break the game was not written enough, and it couldn't bring refreshment
The idea in my head is the story, not the YY around the protagonist
Young people write books, focusing on the protagonist YY, and they do a very good job
The focus of the idea must be adjusted, and you must learn how to write YY around the main character
------
Here 101 must clarify the difference between story and YY.
The story is larger and covers YY, and YY is a kind of story that focuses on the protagonist using the golden finger to cheat and gain wealth and status in life.
Because the reality of online readers is stressful, they need to immerse themselves in online articles to obtain spiritual pleasure, to put it mildly, online articles are similar to video games, addictive and immersive.
Therefore, readers need to take the role of the protagonist and go on a beautiful and colorful story world adventure, focusing on opening the cheat and reaping the victory in life.
It's just that because of the pressure of reality, readers are powerless to fight, and everyone fantasizes about having a cheating golden finger, and since then the fate of life has been reversed.
------
101 Because of his age, he used to grow up reading Jin Yong's novels, so he never knew the difference between the story and YY.
Jin Yong's novels are written close to cruel reality, and his story is also centered on portraying the fate of a character, and a group of vivid characters form a good-looking story.
For example, in Tianlong Babu, Qiao Feng is the protagonist, Duan Yu is also, Xuzhu is also, and supporting roles, such as Murong Fu, also account for a considerable proportion, and Duan Zhengchun, his romantic affairs have played a great role in promoting the whole book.
Including the protagonist himself, Duan Yu opened a cheat, but sometimes he was still very unlucky, and the martial arts cheats could still be torn apart by him.
Qiao Feng has been framed by others, killed Azhu, and had to commit suicide in the end.
When Xuzhu appeared, he was submissive, a little pedantic, ugly, and not likable, and it was not until later that people accepted and liked it a little bit.
It can be seen that the focus of Jin Yong's novels is to write stories, rather than YY with a single protagonist.
Therefore, 101 has been writing online articles for several years, and it has always been conceived to write a story, not YY around the protagonist. The partial pen power is not as high as Jin Yong's, the story is often written down, the protagonist is limited to the tragic situation of passivity and abuse, and the cool climax will not explode.
Therefore, 101 studied a lot of writing skills and principles, but the thinking went into a misunderstanding, which led to a lot of understanding, but what was written was a story, not YY.
------
Today, 101 had an epiphany about YY, and then went back and took a closer look at how Tudou's "Warcraft Sword Saint Otherworldly Vertical" unfolded YY.
First, if the author wants to write YY well, he must first immerse himself in YY, that is to say, the skills and principles are stripped out, so that they can only be used when they examine their own works, and when they really conceive the story, the first element is to pretend that they are the protagonists, go to another world, and have a cheating gold finger in their hands, how did they start their adventure.
So, the author himself has to be obsessed with this theme, Tudou liked to play Warcraft 3C at the time, and after being abused, he felt unfair, so he germinated his own idea that if he had the skills of a sword master, he would definitely be mixed up in the other world, such an interesting idea. And he himself does have a deep understanding of the power system and world structure related to Warcraft.
Therefore, loving the subject matter he wrote, having sufficient preparation and understanding, and having a strong enthusiasm to YY such a story is the first condition for the author to be YY good.
Second, where does YY start, and how?
The starting story is that the protagonist accidentally crosses, and the birth point is a dark and terrifying Warcraft forest, and the way potatoes are described is from the perspective of the protagonist, mostly from the protagonist's psychology and perception, explaining the ins and outs of the crossing.
This reflects that when he wrote this story at that time, he really put himself in it and imagined himself as the protagonist.
So what the protagonist's perspective, unfolding the story around the protagonist's psychology, can enhance the sense of substitution - this is a summary of the technical level.
But if the author really substitutes himself, this technical criterion is nonsense, because if the author is substituted, he will naturally unfold the story from his own point of view, and naturally have a sense of truth, and naturally make people feel empathy when they read it.
This is how the so-called great god has no theory in his heart. They have all done it right, they have all substituted it, what do they need to do with theory and skills?
Therefore, the beginning of YY is to put yourself in the imagination of putting yourself in the shoes of others, going to a strange world, everything you come into contact with is unfamiliar, you must have a psychological adaptation period, and you must explore the new world little by little.
So how does YY go down?
Next, the protagonist encountered the attack of a wolf.,By using a little cleverness.,Escape with your life.,And then you encounter a more powerful monster that will attack with a wind blade.,This time it's difficult to escape.,The moment of life and death inspired the skill of the Sword Saint Wind Step.,Finally escaped.。
The first escape is by wit, and the second is by cheating.
We often conclude from a technical level that the protagonist must solve one puzzle through character merits, and then solve the second one with a golden finger.
The first is to make people love the protagonist through character merits, and the second is to pull out the golden finger as soon as possible to attract readers to find out.
In fact, from a technical point of view, it seems to be very difficult to master, but from the perspective of YY, these technical summaries are all nonsense!
The author YY himself became the protagonist, went to the other world, and met the first demonic beast, and his first reaction was naturally to run for his life!
However, Potato is written here in a more witty and interesting way, that is, there is the psychology of a wolf, and there is also the Ah Q-style humor of the protagonist who hates the sky and scolds, which is the flavor of the story, which makes the first little paragraph look interesting.
101 thinks that it is still because the author himself is deeply involved in the role, and fantasizes about the Warcraft Atlas as a juvenile romantic feeling, if it is an older author with a black belly, he often starts with bloody horror, but Tudou's way of thinking decides that he writes about juvenile fantasy romance, which makes people feel witty and interesting to read, rather than horror and blood.
Then, the first crisis is to use cleverness to escape, and the second is the unwillingness and struggle in the face of the crisis, and the small universe of Goldfinger has exploded.
When Xiao Yan was bullied for the first time, he was often witty and ironic, and if he really wanted to bully him hard, it was a juvenile gothic outburst!
The arrangement of this bridge section is a spiral of hidden contradictions, which is solved by more and more powerful means, and bursts out of the protagonist's human charm - a summary of the technical level.
However, following the YY-style conception method, this one is still nonsense, because Lao Tzu brought his own golden finger to cross, is it that at the most dangerous juncture, doesn't the golden finger break out the savior?
Presumably, during the years when Potato was playing 3C, he imagined countless times that after he encountered a crisis, he used the wind to escape, and then hid and quietly attacked the enemy, right?
Hehe, so learning YY is really a skill that must be mastered first and foremost by authors who write online articles!
------
Looking down further, the protagonist falls unconscious after escaping for his life, and an old man comes out, and a cute Lori saves the protagonist. And since then, Lori has had a good impression of the protagonist.,Pestering the protagonist all day long.,The protagonist is a little shy.,And from time to time rubbing oil.,Teasing little Lori.。 Let the story start from this moment and become charming and charming.
Explain from a technical level - Creating vivid and interesting characters can help to establish the authenticity and interest of the story world, so that readers have a strong interest in the protagonist's adventures in this world.
Think about it, is it fun to fight Warcraft all day long? Or play a dozen, and then come out with a simple and loving old man, and then a bouncing cute girl, and adjust and adjust is more interesting?
These all represent what the protagonist will pursue in the future, fighting monsters is the embodiment of strength improvement, pickling girls is to harvest emotions and women, satisfying a person's seven emotions and six desires, and also making the story not monotonous, and the world is more gorgeous and rich.
Technically, it seems difficult to do this.
But from YY's point of view, it's incredibly simple.
Lao Tzu has crossed the other world, and has the golden finger of cheating, what is Lao Tzu missing?
Lack of shocked and worshipping audience! Could it be that Lao Tzu has taken down the fierce monster, and an old man must not be shocked? Must not come to a cute cute girl to fall ambiguously? Damn! That Lao Tzu opened the cheat, where does the pleasure come from?
------
Many techniques and principles at the technical level are difficult to master, but a string of principles using the YY conception method is simply a natural thing, and anyone with a normal mind will write it well.
Then, if an online writer wants to write a good YY novel, in addition to the first one, he must substitute himself and be familiar with the subject matter.
The rest is to do a good job of accumulating the cool points of the bridge, read a lot of books, accumulate a lot of plots in my heart, and the rest of the use is very simple, as long as it meets the guidelines of YY, then how to write is very cool!
However, if you want to reach the highest level, such as writing about the struggle of human nature and writing moving, you have to learn from Jin Yong's set.
In short, the function of the online article is to make people YY, and if this one is grasped, the results will not be bad!
p.s. just now suddenly thought of another one.,Because readers read online articles to let themselves in.,So there's a lot of pickiness about the protagonist's code of conduct.,For example, the author can't write too weird characters.,For example, write a child The protagonist does stupid things.,Or childish things.,Of course, it's in line with the characters themselves.,But readers don't like it.。 They don't want to be such mentally retarded.
Basically, the character framework of the protagonist is in a pattern, wise, introverted, decisive, maverick, and so on. If you create a neurotic, split-character, childish behavior, etc., it is a death-seeking move.
At this point, 101 suffered a big loss, creating a protagonist who conforms to the character himself, but does not conform to the reader's aesthetic taste, I hope everyone will take warning.
