Starting today, 101 will try to explore how to portray characters with different personalities and experiences, and how to portray such characters and interact with other characters in the story. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Let's talk about the 101 methods of portraying characters in general:

Step 1: After the background of the story has been built, try to add a certain character, first set up his or her relationship with the background, such as the villain, or the first heroine, and will take an opposing or supportive attitude towards the protagonist in something.

Step 2: Set his or her personality labels, such as: arrogant, ruthless, insidious, cunning. Then fully deliberate, how should these four labels be expressed, such as how to speak to a cold and arrogant person? Is he smiling, or is he calm, with his nostrils facing the sky? Is he ruthless, is he killing without blinking, or is he pretending to shed a few crocodile tears? How is he insidious? Stabbing a knife in the back, or is he poisoning someone with a smile? How is he cunning? Is he cunning? Is he always one hand in doing things? He can't kill him many times? (This step determines his way of doing things, and his character determines his fate)

Step 3: Set the character's will, as well as the relationship with the protagonist, such as the villain, that is, to encircle the protagonist, but in fact he is the protagonist's father-killing enemy. So he wants to entrap the protagonist, does he know that he has killed the protagonist's father, and what does he plan to do to achieve the goal of entrapping the protagonist? This step is to set the origin of the conflict.

Step 4: Set the background of the character's background, the social connections he or she can use, and his or her personal desires. For example, a certain villain is the sect leader of the first major sect, with appearance, body surface characteristics, height, cleanliness and so on. Is there a first love...... This step is to continue to refine and label the character on the basis of the above three steps, the first step is only the preliminary positioning, the second and third are to set the inside, and this step is to make the character lifelike.

After the above four steps are done, it is necessary to set the plot of the appearance, 101 is called "thick and colorful" appearance, that is, as soon as it comes out, it must be impressive, and firmly remember the characteristics of this person.

For example, in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", Princess Jianning's first appearance was to abuse Wei Xiaobao, stab her with a knife, burn her hair, and drip wax oil on her chest, and when Wei Xiaobao resisted, she said coquettishly: Gui Belle, let the slave serve you!

Jianning's sarcasm, arrogant, pungent and arrogant character labels that don't treat eunuchs as people have all come out, and they are naturally deeply rooted in the hearts of readers.

This scene is carefully designed by Jin Yong, as soon as it comes out, it is very impressive, exaggeration and drama are the primary goals, and rationality can make way for it.

Let's talk about Li Zicheng in "Blue Blood Sword":

Suddenly, the trumpets sounded, and the army shouted: "The king has arrived, the king has arrived!"

Yuan Chengzhi and the others flashed aside, only to see more than 100 elite riders leading the way, and Li Zicheng was dressed in a felt coat and galloped on a black barge horse.

Li Yan whispered a few words in the past. Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Great! Brother Yuan is here." ”

Li Yan beckoned, and Yuan Chengzhi walked in front of the two horses.

Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, you have made a great contribution! Don't you have a horse?" he said and jumped off the ground and handed him the reins of his mount.

Yuan Chengzhi hurriedly thanked him.

Li Zicheng walked up to the city and looked outside the city, but when he saw thousands of soldiers entering the city from various city gates, he couldn't help but be complacent.

When the army saw the king, there was thunderous cheers in all directions.

Li Zicheng took out three arrows from the quiver, pulled off the cluster of arrows, bent his bow and set up arrows, shot the three arrows down the city, and said loudly: "Listen to the generals and soldiers, after entering the city, if someone commits suicide and injures the people, he will be beheaded, and he will not be tolerated!"

More than 100,000 soldiers under the city shouted in unison: "Obey the king's orders!"

Yuan Chengzhi looked up at Li Zicheng's majestic appearance, admired it so much in his heart, and couldn't help shouting: "Long live the king, long live, long live!"

Li Zicheng got off the city, changed a horse, and walked to Chengtianmen under the support of everyone.

He turned his head to Yuan Chengzhi and smiled: "You are the will of your father, I am Chengtian!" bent the bow and arrow, and with a whoosh, the feather arrow flew out, right under the word "sky".

His strength was strong, and the arrow went straight into the wall, and the crowd cheered again.

When he came to Deshengmen, the eunuch Wang Dehua led more than 300 inner eunuchs to meet him.

Li Zicheng threw his whip and laughed, and said to Yuan Chengzhi: "When you saw me in Shaanxi last year, did you think that there would be today?"

Yuan Chengzhi said: "The king has become a great cause, and the people of the world have long known it. I just didn't expect it to be so soon. ”

Li Zicheng clapped his hands and laughed.

Suddenly, a person rushed over and reported to Li Zicheng: "King, there is a eunuch who said that he saw Chongzhen fleeing to the side of the coal mountain. ”

Li Zicheng turned his head to Yuan Chengzhi and said, "Bring someone to get it!"

Yuan Chengzhi said: "Yes!" With a wave of his hand, he led Hu Guinan and others to gallop towards the coal mountain.

The coal mountain was just a small hill, and everyone could not help but be shocked when they came up the mountain. I saw two people hanging under the big tree, swaying in the wind. One person wore a white jacket with a short blue coat with black trim, a white cotton silk vest, white* pants, his left foot was naked, and his right foot was wearing silk socks and red square-toed shoes.

Yuan Chengzhi opened his hair and saw that it was Emperor Chongzhen. A few lines were written in blood on the front of his clothes:

"In the seventeenth year of my reign, I caused the enemy to enter the interior four times, and the traitors approached the Beijing Division. When I die, I have no face to see my ancestors in the ground, go to my crown, cover my face with hair, let the thief split the corpse, and don't hurt the people. ”

Yuan Chengzhi took this blood edict and felt quite sad, the revenge of the past 20 years was avenged today, which was a happy event, but seeing the enemy ending so miserably, he couldn't help but feel sorry for a long time, and thought: "You said it beautifully, why don't hurt the people." If you had known that you cherished the people, and had not forced the hungry people in the world to have no way out, how could you have come to this place today? ”

Hong Shenghai said: "Yuan Xianggong, the one who hanged him over there was a eunuch." ”

Yuan Chengzhi said: "When this emperor died, there was only one eunuch to accompany him, which is really called a rebellion and a divorce." Carry the corpse away, don't let people insult it. ”

Hong Shenghai responded. Yuan Chengzhichi returned to report.

At this time, Li Zicheng had already entered the palace. The soldiers guarding the door recognized Yuan Chengzhi and led him into the palace. I saw Li Zicheng sitting on the dragon chair, with more than a dozen generals and officials standing beside him, and a disheveled young man standing under His Royal Highness.

Li Zicheng saw Yuan Chengzhi coming in and shouted, "Okay! Emperor, bring him up." ”

Yuan Chengzhi said: "Chongzhen hanged himself. ”

Li Zicheng was stunned and took Chongzhen's edict to watch. The young man standing next to him suddenly fell to the ground and cried, and almost fainted.

Li Zicheng said: "That's the prince!"

Yuan Chengzhi helped him up.

Li Zicheng asked: "Why did your family lose the world, do you know?"

The prince cried: "It's just because of the misuse of traitors Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru and others. ”

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "It turns out that the little children also understand. ”

Then Zhengse said: "Let me tell you, your father is nonsense and forbearing, and he has caused the people of the world to suffer." Your father was hanged today, although it was very miserable, but in the 17 years of his reign, the people of the world were forced to hang tens of thousands, and it was much more miserable. ”

The prince bowed his head and said after a while: "Then you can kill me quickly." ”

Yuan Chengzhi saw that he was stubborn and couldn't help but worry about him.

Li Zicheng said: "You are still a child and have not committed a crime, how can I kill people indiscriminately." ”

The prince said, "Then I beg you a few things." ”

Li Zicheng said: "You say come and listen." ”

The prince said: "Please don't disturb my ancestors' mausoleum, and bury my father and queen mother well." ”

Li Zicheng said: "Of course, then why do you need to beg me?"

The prince said, "Please don't kill the people." ”

Li Zicheng laughed and said, "The child is not sensible. I am the common people, and it is our people who have conquered your capital, do you understand?"

The prince said, "Then you don't kill the people?"

Li Zicheng untied his upper clothes, only to see that his chest and shoulders were mottled, all of which were scars from whipping, and everyone couldn't help but be shocked.

Li Zicheng said: "I was a good people, but after giving this beating to corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I couldn't bear it anymore and rose up to rebel." Hmph, your father and son are hypocritical and righteous, and what do you say about cherishing the people? Who in our army has not suffered from you?"

The prince bowed his head silently.

Li Zicheng put on his clothes and said, "You go down." Thinking that you are the crown prince of the previous emperor, I will crown you a king, so that you know that we ordinary people do not miss the old evils. Well, your father gave the country to me, so I will make you the king of Song. ”

The eunuch Cao Huachun stood aside and said, "Quickly kowtow to Your Majesty and thank you." ”

The prince glared angrily, suddenly slapped his hand back, and with a snap, five finger prints appeared on Cao Huachun's cheeks.

Li Zicheng laughed and said, "Okay, this kind of disloyal and unrighteous traitor is well beaten." Come on, take it down and cut it down!"

Cao Huachun's face was so frightened that his face was like earth, he made a grunt, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and the blood on his forehead came out. Li Zicheng kicked him into a somersault and shouted: "Get out, you dare to see me again in the future, and I will kill you!"

The prince then walked out with his head held high.

Li Zicheng said to Yuan Chengzhi: "This kid is stubborn. I like kids with backbone. ”

Yuan Chengzhi said: "Yes." ”

Prime Minister Niu Jinxing said: "The Lord's major event has been decided. The hearts of the Ming Dynasty were lost, but the resurgence of the ashes was not to be prevented. This boy was very stubborn and refused to submit to the pilgrimage, for fear that someone would use his name to cause trouble. It's better to except, so as not to suffer later. ”

Li Zicheng hesitated and said: "This is also true. You can do it. ”

Turning his head to Song Xiance, the dwarf military master behind him, he said, "I heard that the emperor has a princess, but I don't know where." ”

Yuan Chengzhi said: "The emperor cut off one of her arms, and I took the princess to recuperate at home." When she recovers, bring her to the king. ”

Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Okay! You have a lot of credit, I can't think of anything to reward you, so this princess will reward you." ”

Yuan Chengzhi said embarrassedly: "No, no, that...... But the prince begged the king to spare his life. ”

Niu Jinxing said with a smile: "Brother Yuan, what is the shame of the trouble? Although General Liu has made great contributions, the king only rewarded them with a few palace ladies. You haven't done it yet, but you cherish your brother-in-law. ”

Yuan Chengzhi was quite unhappy when he heard that there was a thorn in his words, and thought: "The prince is a little child, why do you want to kill him?"

Li Zicheng said: "Brother Yuan, my subordinate military attaché, is divided into nine grades. Liu Zongmin is a first-rank general, and your brother-in-law Li Yan is a second-grade general. I'll make you General Sanpin Guoyi. ”

Yuan Chengzhi bowed down and said, "Thank you, King." Yuan Chengzhi swore to die to serve the king and did not want to be an official. ”

Niu Jinxing smiled and said: "Brother Yuan is the leader of the Seven Provinces Martial Arts Alliance, don't you think the position of this three-rank general is too low? The names of the leaders of the seven provinces and the leaders of the eight provinces will be strictly forbidden from now on. ”

Li Zicheng listened to his words too seriously, patted Yuan Chengzhi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are still very young, although the credit is not small, after all, my time is still short, and I will be promoted in the future, are you afraid that you will not have a chance?"

Yuan Chengzhi said: "The subordinates are definitely not for the level of the position, but because they are reckless, they can't be officials." ”

Li Zicheng laughed loudly and said loudly: "Am I not a reckless horseman? Even the emperor has to do it." ”

Yuan Chengzhi was inconvenient to say any more, so he resigned.

……

Yuan Chengzhi said: "When the king entered the city, there was an order, and anyone who killed and injured the people, ** captivated, was beheaded. When I saw that my brothers were abusing and killing the people, I stopped it, but I didn't mean to offend, and I asked General Quan for forgiveness. ”

Liu Zongmin sneered: "This world is the world of the king, the world of our old brothers, who went from death to life and fought from the sword mountain and gun forest. We will fight the country, won't we sit on the country? What is your intention in trying to please the people and win the hearts of the people?"

Yuan Chengzhi said: "The king just said that he himself is the people. ”

Liu Zongmin laughed and said, "When the king fought the country, he was the people. Today, if you win the world and sit in the Dragon Court, you are the true son of heaven, are you still a common man? You kid is talking nonsense. Yuan Chengzhi was silent.

Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Okay, okay! Everyone, brothers, don't hurt the harmony for these little things." Come on, come on, you two have a toast. Zong Min, I know that you are jealous of Yuan Chengzhi because he got the princess. There are as many beauties as there are in the palace, and you can choose them yourself. ”

Liu Zongmin said: "King, there is only one princess of Chongzhen. ”

Li Zicheng smiled at Yuan Chengzhi and said, "He will definitely want your princess, so you can look at me and give it to him." You are a minister, and harmony is important. ”

When Yuan Chengzhi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, his heart was at a loss, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the wine glass fell to the ground and fell into pieces.

Li Zicheng said angrily: "Even if you don't want to, you don't have to lose your temper with me." ”

Yuan Chengzhi was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "My subordinates don't dare." ”

Suddenly, the sound of silk bamboo was heard, and several officers walked up to the hall with a woman in their arms. The woman bowed to Li Zicheng Yingying, stood up after worshipping, the candlelight reflected on her face, and everyone said "oh" in unison.

－－－－－－－

Let's take a look at the character labels of Li Zicheng's character: arrogant, arrogant, capricious, narrow-minded, hypocritical, heroic and rude on the surface, and cunning on the inside.

Then let's take a look at how these labels are reflected.

Arrogance, hypocrisy:

Li Yan whispered a few words in the past. Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Great! Brother Yuan is here." ”

Li Yan beckoned, and Yuan Chengzhi walked in front of the two horses.

Li Zicheng smiled and said, "Brother Yuan, you have made a great contribution! Don't you have a horse?" he said and jumped off the ground and handed him the reins of his mount.

Yuan Chengzhi hurriedly thanked him.

Analyse:

Yuan Chengzhi made such a great achievement, Li Zicheng behaved extremely arrogantly, although he smiled, but he rode on a horse and called Yuan Chengzhi "Brother Yuan". He has not yet been proclaimed emperor at this time, but he has already shown arrogance, refusing to dismount to greet Yuan Chengzhi, but calling people to him, which is to raise his identity.

"Brother Yuan, you have made a great contribution! Don't you have a horse?" I heard the first half of this sentence, and the second half of the sentence was mockery.

For example, someone invites 101 to dinner, drives a BMW to an appointment, and smiles at 101 when they meet: "101, your novel is very well written! Don't you have a car?"

Although he jumped off the ground in the back, he handed over the reins of the mount to Yuan Chengzhi, and didn't say a word, it seemed that he wanted Yuan Chengzhi to be the little guy who led the horse, which was to completely belittle Yuan Chengzhi's identity, telling everyone that this person has great merit, and he can only lead the horse for me!

This feeling is actually very subtle, in reality we will meet some rich people, and when we meet, we will give some imposed alms, which is very uncomfortable.

I have a horse or not, a car or a car, and I need you to take care of it?

True respect from the heart, heroic, should be like this - Li Zicheng laughed, stretched out his hand to pull Yuan Chengzhi onto the horse, and the two rode together, this is the respect of treating each other as equals, not the charity of superiority.

Comments: I have to say that Jin Yong handled it very well, when 101 read that Li Zicheng appeared on the stage, he felt uncomfortable, and always felt that this person was hypocritical, not good to people from the heart, but what was wrong was not accurate, and then repeatedly scrutinized, repeatedly imagined, this person's words and deeds, and sure enough, the root cause was found.

It is to exalt oneself, to belittle others, to be hypocritical in charity.

－－－－－－－－

Arrogance, narrow-mindedness:

He turned his head to Yuan Chengzhi and smiled: "You are the will of your father, I am Chengtian!" bent the bow and arrow, and with a whoosh, the feather arrow flew out, right under the word "sky".

Li Zicheng threw his whip and laughed, and said to Yuan Chengzhi: "When you saw me in Shaanxi last year, did you think that there would be today?"

Analyse:

After all, the south of the Ming Dynasty has not yet been flattened, and there are Wu Sangui and the Qing army in the north.

As a result, his tail rose to the sky, and he shot arrows in front of the army, and said to Yuan Chengzhi: "You inherit your father's will, and I inherit the sky!" "When you saw me in Shaanxi last year, did you think that there would be today?"

This is full of ridicule and show-off, a person can't lower his head and raise others, how can he make others respect?

－－－－－－－－－－－

Play fast and loose:

The prince said: "Please don't disturb my ancestors' mausoleum, and bury my father and queen mother well." ”

Li Zicheng said: "Of course, then why do you need to beg me?" (This is arrogant and narrow-minded again, saying this kind of hard pouting, it can be seen that Li will not win people's hearts at all, he is a child's mentality, he was bullied in his early years, and now he is running back to slap his face.) ）

Li Zicheng put on his clothes and said, "You go down." Thinking that you are the crown prince of the previous emperor, I will crown you a king, so that you know that we ordinary people do not miss the old evils. Well, your father gave the country to me, so I will make you the king of Song. ”

The prince then walked out with his head held high.

Li Zicheng said to Yuan Chengzhi: "This kid is stubborn. I like kids with backbone. ”

Prime Minister Niu Jinxing said: "The Lord's major event has been decided. The hearts of the Ming Dynasty were lost, but the resurgence of the ashes was not to be prevented. This boy was very stubborn and refused to submit to the pilgrimage, for fear that someone would use his name to cause trouble. It's better to except, so as not to suffer later. ”

Li Zicheng hesitated and said: "This is also true. You can do it. ”

Analyse:

Li's capriciousness and narrow-mindedness are vividly displayed here, mocking Chongzhen for sending the country to him and giving the crown prince the title of "King of Song"; But Niu Jinxing persuaded him to cut the grass and kill the prince, and Li hesitated again and allowed him to do it.

This kind of self-slapping is capricious, what he said on the front foot, he turned around and regretted it, and he had no credibility; the eldest princess was rewarded to Yuan Chengzhi below, but someone came to ask for it, and he asked Yuan Chengzhi to let him out, which was really extremely confused, and he did not have the slightest respect for people, so Yuan Chengzhi was completely disappointed in him.

What is rare is that Li Zicheng's capriciousness also continued in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", he deceived Wu Sangui and promised Ah Ke to Wei Xiaobao in person, and soon repented. It can be seen that this person has never had credit in his heart, and everything is for his own benefit.

In addition, Li shot arrows in public to restrain soldiers from being taken captive, and the military discipline collapsed later, and he took the lead himself, which made it even more nonsense.

Li Zicheng smiled and said: "Okay, okay! Everyone, brothers, don't hurt the harmony for these little things." Come on, come on, you two have a toast. Zong Min, I know that you are jealous of Yuan Chengzhi because he got the princess. There are as many beauties as there are in the palace, and you can choose them yourself. ”

Liu Zongmin said: "King, there is only one princess of Chongzhen. ”

Li Zicheng smiled at Yuan Chengzhi and said, "He will definitely want your princess, so you can look at me and give it to him." You are a minister, and harmony is important. (arrogant, ulterior motives)

When Yuan Chengzhi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, his heart was at a loss, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the wine glass fell to the ground and fell into pieces.

Li Zicheng said angrily: "Even if you don't want to, you don't have to lose your temper with me." (arrogant, ulterior motives)

－－－－－－－

Heroic and rude on the surface, cunning on the inside:

Li Zicheng shot arrows in public, restrained the soldiers, and drank with the meritorious generals, which was just heroic and rude on the surface.

In his heart, he is actually squeezing out meritorious and talented people like Li Yan and Yuan Chengzhi.

Why?

His small peasant consciousness is troublesome, he always thinks that if he occupies the capital, the world is his, and he can enjoy himself with peace of mind and be the emperor.

But with Li Yan and Yuan Chengzhi, one of them is a talented man who has read a lot of books, and the other is the son of Yuan Chonghuan of the previous dynasty, who has prestige and martial arts, isn't he afraid?

He plans to squeeze out if he can, and kill if he can!

That's why the face changed so quickly in the back, and the front foot rewarded the eldest princess Yuan Chengzhi, and the back foot let him out. This may be overlooked, mistaken for Li Zicheng's rudeness, courage and lack of strategy.

But later, Li Yan and Yuan Chengzhi went to the palace to meet them, and Li asked him to send a message to the two of them to wait, waiting from morning to dark, but he secretly convened a meeting of the generals, isn't this a trick?

－－－－－－－

In short, the character of Li Zicheng is very complex, definitely not as rude and heroic as it seems on the surface, you need to think carefully to see this character, and these "flavors" are all intentional by Jin Yong, that is, to portray such a complex, pitiful, pathetic and hateful character.

Finally, let's take a look at one more paragraph:

Li Zicheng said: "Brother Yuan, my subordinate military attaché, is divided into nine grades. Liu Zongmin is a first-rank general, and your brother-in-law Li Yan is a second-grade general. I'll make you General Sanpin Guoyi. ”

This sentence has a profound meaning, on the one hand, it knocks Yuan Chengzhi: Listen well! Liu Zongmin is my brother, he is the first product, your righteous brother Li Yan is the second product, you are the third product, you two are honest, don't stab!

Sure enough, Liu Zongmin is in the sky, this is Li Zicheng's backing and indulgence, and it is also a foreshadowing laid by Jin Yong.

On the other hand, there is almsgiving. Does the real reward need to mention what officials others have conferred? Isn't this a show of his grace everywhere?

It's like 101 went to participate in the company's awards, if the boss said to me: "I gave your colleague Zhang Moumou a bonus of 1,000 yuan, your good friend gave a bonus of 800 yuan, and I gave you a bonus of 500 yuan!"

Everyone said, 101 will be comfortable hearing such words?

Besides, Li Zicheng never listens to what the protagonist says, he always talks to himself, we may meet such a person, a big boss said to 101 with a smile: "You have made a great contribution, I will give you 500 yuan!"

Then turn around and talk to someone else, without giving 101 a chance to explain at all.

It's so easy to shape this character like this!

This is the grace imposed, you just have to be grateful to Dade, you can't justify, I don't bother to listen to what you say!

is so arrogant, no wonder Li Zicheng quickly lost the world.

Jin Yong's portrayal of this character is deep in the bone marrow!

－－－－－－－

Well, the character of Li Zicheng is analyzed here, and the relevant character labels can be written down, and similar characters can be used for reference in the future. 101 hopes to continue to analyze more than a dozen male and female characters with different personalities, and establish a series of character templates, so that the commonly used character portrayals are enough.
