It's been a long time since I've posted, and today I want to talk about the "micro-plot ability" in the creation of novels. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The so-called micro-plot ability refers to the fact that in a scene, thousands of words, hundreds of words, or even dozens of words can create a power to attract readers.

In the past, 101 often ignored this ability, and talked a lot about the layout, in fact, whether a book is good or not, the most direct aspect for readers is the ability of micro-plots.

In the vernacular, the protagonist is holding a golden finger today, where should he pretend to be a force? Is there a funny jump out and let the protagonist slap his face?

What about Ming'er? Do you want to go to a girl's house again?

This kind of where to tease today, where to pick up girls tomorrow, is the ability of micro-plots.

Here's a closer look at what microstorytelling is and why is it important?

Generally speaking, a microplot is a number of ultra-short story plots that make up a long novel. For example, the protagonist wants to go to the Fang Market to buy something, then the trip to the Fang Market is a relatively large micro-plot, if you buy pills on the first day, visit the stalls on the second day, and participate in the auction on the third day, this will be split into three micro-plots.

Each micro-plot must give the reader a sense of expectation, or a sense of oppression, or a sense of pleasure, and cannot be described directly, so it is difficult to attract readers.

So, for example, how do you make three micro-plots engaging?

On the first day of buying the pill, you can create in advance how rare the pill is, how many people are crazy to rob it, the protagonist has strong funds and faces competitors, how to win it as soon as he makes a move, the selling point is that the resources crush the opponent and bring a sense of pleasure.

It can also be that the protagonist is ignorant, went to the market for the first time, bought pills and bought fakes, and was deceived, so readers will expect the protagonist to find face and punish the villains.

It can be seen that the so-called attractive micro-plot is to make a peculiar start in this small story, and the plot is not dull, so as to attract readers to look down.

If it's not attractive, it's a flat and straightforward narrative, the protagonist goes, so he buys the pill, there is no contradiction, no joy, no supporting role, it's as plain as drinking boiled water.

Then, with the idea that micro-plots are very important in our minds, we will consciously think about how to design attractive micro-plots in advance.

Because a micro-plot is one chapter, no more than three chapters, which ensures that readers will have a desire to know the result within one to two days, which increases the reader's stickiness.

Then if the first one is very attractive to buy the pill, and the second micro-plot goes to the stall, we can design another interesting one, for example, Han Li used the Dragon Marrow Pill to help a little beauty, pretended to be a little girl, and also harvested the follow-up exercises of the Changchun Jue from the beauty, as well as the relevant resources of the talisman.

There is a little coolness in this way, and there is also anticipation, because the reader will expect Han Li to draw the talisman with the new tool.

The third micro-plot is more intense, such as at the auction, competing for resources with many monks, causing conflicts, and being hunted down by the enemy after the market.

In this way, we can see very clearly that the three micro-plots, viewed independently, are full of dramatic tension and are very attractive, and then the three are connected together to form a complete fragment of the market, forming a small ** with ups and downs.

Therefore, the role of the so-called micro-plot is to ensure that the plot of each chapter and every day can attract readers, and then it can be organically combined to serve a plot within four or five days.

So the question is, how to master the ability of micro-plots, this is what we usually call learning to do a detailed outline, planning the plot of the next week every week, and carefully designing the plot every day.

Finally, some examples of micro-plots in the former Soviet comedy film "The Story of the Office" are cited.

This is 101 watched this afternoon.,It can be said that the plot is very gripping.,It's very attractive all the time.,The secret is that the micro-plot is very powerful.。

For example: Scenario 1

The male protagonist and the female director are alone, the female director reveals her heart, and cries loudly, this big cry is an unexpected plot trend, because the female director is a strong woman, how can she cry casually in front of male subordinates?

Scenario 2

The crying of the female director aroused the sympathy of the male protagonist, so he didn't leave after work, and he sneakily wanted to find the female director, and wanted to go home with her, comfort and comfort or something. This is also very attractive, because normally speaking, if you care about women, you should be generous, which is the practice of ordinary people.

But in this movie, the man is sneaky, and because he is abnormal, it arouses the curiosity of the audience. Then he entered the office, and the female director was not there, so he sat on the chair of the female director, pretending to be the female director to speak, and messing with her things.

This is abnormal, such a bold male subordinate, is he looking for death? So the audience continued to arouse interest, wondering if he would be scolded by the female director?

As a result, the female director below really came, but unexpectedly, she was not angry, but pretended to be a male subordinate, and both sides were pretending to be funny, so the atmosphere of ** appeared, reaching the ** of this scene**.

This micro-plot has a perfect curtain call.

Scenario 3

Because of the foreshadowing of scene 2, the male protagonist mustered up the courage to send flowers to the female director, but if he sent it, he was in a hurry, so it was peculiar again, arousing the audience's interest, I want to see if such a frizzy man will poke the basket again?

As a result, the female director came, and she was very happy to see the flowers, and a smile bloomed on her serious face, and at this time, the audience's hearts were also happy, because the male protagonist's efforts were rewarded.

The female director below happily called the male protagonist in, knocking on the side and hoping that he would admit it, and then the plot took a turn and was unexpected by the audience.

The male protagonist refuses to admit it out of a good face, causing good things to turn bad, and the female director angrily threw flowers on the male protagonist's face, and asked him never to come in at will, and the male protagonist walked away with the flowers in a gloomy manner.

Just when the audience felt breathless, the male protagonist opened the door again and secretly clamped the flowers on the crack of the door, making the female director angry and funny, and the audience would also smile.

Roughly list 3 scenes, we can see that each micro-plot must be suspended at the beginning to make the audience curious first.

This method of setting up the suspension is abnormal and peculiar, using the character of the hero and heroine to set up some things that ordinary people will not do to arouse the audience's interest.

In the process of advancing the plot later, it either shakes the burden, or sets up a twist, or creates a contradiction, so that people can't guess the direction of the plot, and the final ending is often a small **, or arouses a greater sense of expectation.

This...... It's a typical micro-plot ability!

When applied to a novel, it is necessary to take the story content of each chapter seriously, to design it quietly, and when several micro-plots are successful, it will also achieve the results of the whole book.

So, have you learned the ability of micro-plotting?
