Let's take a look:
First, let's talk about what it means to "pretend to be forced".
The word pretending to be forced is mostly seen in Northeast dialect, that is, pretending to be better than others, in fact, others may not be convinced, this is a layer of meaning, and another layer of meaning is very dragging and very gripping.
The following is the specific analysis of the use of the second layer of meaning in online texts.
Let's first look at an excerpt from "Tang Brick" to analyze how the effect of pretending is produced.
1. "This son is rude, his talent and virtue must be limited, and he is also worthy of talking about arithmetic." Since I Huang Zhien tied my hair and went to school, I went through ups and downs before worshipping under Liu Laomen, the son of the country, and studied for seven years, only to take a peek at the door of arithmetic, it is not easy to study, for the sake of the general, Huang Zhien reluctantly did it, but suffered such a great humiliation, Huang said goodbye"! Cheng Chumo told himself that Huang Zhien could no longer suppress his anger, and he threw off his sleeves and left. Before I turned around, I heard a lazy voice coming.
2. "After studying for seven years, it is not easy, can the nine-square grid be solved, the rope logging can be known, the Pythagorean algorithm is known, the height of Mount Tai is geometrical, and how much sand does the Yellow River carry?"
3. Huang Zhien looked at Yun Ye who was leaning on the tent door in disbelief and said in a trembling voice: "Twenty-four is the shoulder, six or eight is the foot, seven on the left and three on the right, and one of the nine shoes is the correct solution for the nine palaces." The well does not know how deep it is, the rope does not know how long it is, three folds into the well more than four feet, four folds into the well more than one foot, the well is eight feet deep, and the rope is thirty-six feet long. "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" Pythagorean Chapter Cloud: Hook three strands, four mysteries and five, I know it but I don't know why. How high is Mount Tai, how much sand does the Yellow River carry in the sand? God knows. ”
"There is no unfathomable person in the world, measure the height of the mountain with the mountain, and measure the height of the mountain with the amount of water, Mr. Huang He doesn't know?
"How do you know? How do you know?
4. "There are so many masters of arithmetic in the world, why do you only know the national eunuch, the nine palaces can be solved, the sixteenth palace can be solved? the thirty-two palaces can be solved? you know one yuan, two yuan, you can know three yuan, multiple? ”
5. Huang Zhien only felt a boom in his ears, some of what Yun Ye said, some were just legends, and some were unheard of. He is an expert and knows that Yun Ye is not a mouthful. Don't talk about yourself, I'm afraid that my teacher is here, and he won't be much better than himself.
Yun Ye shook in front of Huang Zhien, picked up a branch, and casually drew a Pythagorean square diagram on the ground, a Pythagorean expansion diagram, and then threw away the branch, patted the dust on his hands and said casually: "Today, I am rude first, Zhao Shuang Xianzhe's Pythagorean square diagram, and the Pythagorean expansion diagram of the family teacher will be cheap for you, so it should be regarded as an atonement." ”
Huang Zhien's mind was no longer on Yun Ye's rudeness, lying on the ground and chanting words in his mouth, writing and painting with his fingers, where did he still care about what Yun Ye and Cheng Chumo were doing.
6. Cheng Chumo slapped Yun Ye heavily: "If you are worthy of being my brother, I know that you will not lose to Sour Ding, sure enough, you are not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, otherwise you and my brother will rest when they get drunk." ”
Yun Ye rubbed his shoulders, his face was full of resentment, this father and son spanked one and patted the other's shoulders, and they didn't care if others couldn't stand it. Quickly stopped the palm that was slapped again, and it fell apart while shooting.
"Brother, the little brother has been on the road all morning, his whole body smells of sweat, and Uncle Cheng is very rude when he sees him again, so it is only right to let the little brother take a bath and change clothes. Yun Ye only now felt that his butt was pricked with pins and needles, and Lao Cheng's slap was not something that anyone could bear. Yun Ye was rubbing his buttocks, and Cheng Chumo's face was full of sympathy, and it seemed that he had not suffered less from this slap. "Let's go together, I feel uncomfortable now if I don't take a bath for a day, it's strange, my mother used to force me to take a bath with a feather duster in the capital, but now no one forces me, I don't wash and feel uncomfortable, what is the reason? Is it that I am a cheap donkey, I don't go, pumping backwards?"
"This is a matter of habit, a person can develop a habit in fifteen days, don't believe it, you find a pig, knock on the pig trough before feeding every day, ten days later, even if you don't feed, as long as you knock on the pig trough, the pig will run over. ”
"This is amazing, I knock on your rice bowl, will you hear the sound and run towards me in ten days?"
The brothers hooked their shoulders and went to the back tent to take a shower without mentioning it. General Cheng sat on the left side of the main tent and couldn't see anyone, and he couldn't wait for anyone on the right, muttering in his heart, could it be that kid really talented and learned? If he didn't go to the school exam in person, he saved some face for Yun Ye, and he didn't expect this kid to be able to fight against Huang Zhien for so long, amazing. Huang Zhien is also a leader in arithmetic in the capital, in order to solve the logistics problem of the army, he pulled down his old face and looked for Liu Xin several times, and the old immortal also gave himself a face, he really couldn't stand it, so he sent this Huang Zhien to help him, Huang Zhien did not live up to his reputation, the logistics in the army were much smoother, and now Yun Boy can compete with him until now, it is not easy. The old man has lost his eyes, and the fourteen-year-old doll can compete with a forty-year-old middle-aged person without falling behind, what a demon it will be when it grows up.
7. Thinking of this, Lao Cheng couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked to the sleeping tent. From afar, I saw a crowd of people gathered at the door of the tent, but they were silent. When the sergeants saw the arrival of the general, they dispersed. I saw Huang Zhien lying on the ground, chanting words in his mouth, writing and painting under his hands, covered in dust as if he had fallen into madness. But Yun Ye was nowhere to be seen. Lao Cheng was curious. Raised his hand and summoned the guards guarding the sleeping tent and asked what was going on, where was Yun Ye. The guard also went to the salt mine with him, saw the magic of salt mining, heard the deeds of the Monkey King, and had already admired Yun Ye's five-body throw, and had already waited for the general to ask himself, and with a nonchagratory expression on his face, Yun Ye told Huang Zhien about Huang Zhien going crazy in a few words.
Lao Cheng glanced at Huang Zhien, who was still calculating on the ground, and instructed the guards to give him an umbrella to shade the sun, and prepare a pot of tea for later use, then turned around and returned to the tent. As soon as he entered the tent, a burst of laughter came out of the tent. After reading this paragraph, I believe that the vast majority of readers will smile and have the feeling that the protagonist is pretending to be forced, and he is not polite to that old pedant, and he is simply crushing him, so it feels very cool!
Okay, let's talk about why pretending to be forced can make readers feel so happy?
First of all, when people read, they will have an empathic effect, which is commonly known as a sense of substitution, that is, they imagine themselves as the protagonist, so when the protagonist is pretending, the reader will also have the feeling that he is pretending.
Secondly, pretending to use a strong contrast technique, when others look down on the protagonist, the protagonist instead goes up and slaps the face, so that others have no ability to parry, resulting in extreme shock, frustration, worship, and resentment, which is the same as when we challenge authority, show our ability in front of people, and get the unanimous admiration of everyone.
There's nothing more refreshing than pretending to be forced in front of everyone and making people's mouths open in shock.
Its root comes from people's psychological needs, in Maslow's needs theory, people's self-worth is reflected at the highest level, when self-worth is realized in this extremely dramatic and exaggerated way, people's satisfaction is the greatest!
----------------
Let's take a look at how the above text creates the effect of pretending.
First, there must be a pretending party, a pretending party and an audience. The protagonist here is the pretending party, the pretending party is an old pedant, and the audience is Cheng Yanjin's father and son and a group of bystanders.
Second, before the pretending behavior occurs, we must try our best to create a strong pretending party, and the pretending party is very unfavorable, the stronger the atmosphere, the better the effect will come out in the future, which will cause a strong contrast effect.
Third, when pretending to be coerced occurs, the pretending party must be calm, and the pretending party must not be shocked, and the calmer the better, while the pretending party must change from disdain to shock, to extreme shock, and finally to have a worship reaction.
Fourth, after the pretending is over, the pretending party looks at this matter disapprovingly, and the audience must set off the atmosphere, in addition to shock, but also judge the two sides, give the best praise to the pretending party, and give the worst evaluation to the pretending party, so as to complete the exchange of status between the two sides.
For example, the old pedant bowed to the ground, and the protagonist was taken aback, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and comforted him, why did he leave so indifferently?
This involves the principle of pretending.
As mentioned earlier, pretending to be forced is a shocking effect produced by strong contrast, have you ever thought about it, what does this so-called "strong contrast" mean?
Some friends said that it was the enemy's attitude, first refusing and then complimenting, and the audience's reaction, which began to disdain, and then supported the protagonist one-sidedly.
So what is its essence?
The essence is to use the principle of "information asymmetry", or the principle of "resource asymmetry"!
That is to say, others think that the protagonist is not good, in fact, the protagonist is very good, big line; others take stones as treasures, and the protagonist takes gold as stones, under the premise that the values of both parties are consistent, it is equal to that the vision of others is only 1 centimeter, and the protagonist's vision is 10,000 meters, so using 10,000 meters to smash 1 centimeter will make the values of 1 centimeter collapse instantly, causing a strong impact.
Knowing this essence, it is easy for us to create a pretending scene.
The most common is the so-called "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger".
For example, the protagonist has obtained a golden finger and his ability has been enhanced, and others still think that he is still at the previous level and come to trouble him, and then the protagonist Wang Ba is angry and abuses that person severely, plus the audience sets off the atmosphere, which constitutes a basic pretending effect.
However, novices often can't handle it well, either pretending to be too much, or pretending to be forced has not come out.
The 101 analysis summarizes a number of scenarios:
1. Pretending to be overdone. For example, in the above scene, the protagonist brags about how awesome he is, causing his image to be frivolous, and even the audience can't stand it, at this time, the reader will have the impression of being a showman, but will not approve of the protagonist's behavior.
2. Pretending to be too fake. This happened in a situation where there was no need to pretend to be forced, but the protagonist wanted to pretend to be forced, which felt completely unnecessary. For example, in the above scenario, the old pedant comes to the protagonist with an emergency, and at this time solving the crisis is the primary goal, but the protagonist has to show off, although it has a shocking effect, but it is completely unnecessary!
3. The effect of pretending to be forced is not enough. This generally happens when the foreshadowing is not enough, for example, the status of the protagonist is not low enough, the status of the opponent is not high enough, the audience's support is not sufficient and strong, the protagonist himself is not calm, the opponent is not shocked enough, etc. Of course, frequent pretending will also lead to insufficient pretending effect.
--------------
Below, let's specifically analyze how to create such a good pretending effect in "Tang Brick":
101 Numbers are marked in the above paragraphs for analysis.
In paragraph 1, the opponent begins to despise the protagonist, which is desperately belittling the status of the protagonist and begins to rebel. Everyone pay attention to the fact that the protagonist is a lazy voice, which reflects that the protagonist is extremely calm and disdainful.
In paragraph 2, the protagonist's series of questions come, although it is not accompanied by the protagonist's actions and expressions, but the condescending tone between the lines is fully felt. This is the crushing after having absolute strength. Some authors create protagonists who are still timid to do things after they have strong strength, and they can't have this effect, and this majestic crushing momentum will greatly enhance the effect of pretending. If you really can't understand it, you can look at the first dance on the forum post, which has a strong condescending tone.
In paragraph 3, the opponent still answered part of the question, noting the use of the word "tremble", which indicates that the opponent has begun to be shocked. Speaking of which, some friends may feel that how to get this person to answer some of the questions? Wouldn't it be more enjoyable if he couldn't answer at all?
Then you are wrong, pinching soft persimmons certainly has a sense of achievement, but pinching hard persimmons is not a greater sense of achievement? Let the opponent have considerable strength, the reader will feel that the protagonist is more powerful, and let the opponent with considerable strength be convinced, it will be more cool!
Paragraph 4 is the protagonist's heavy punch, and it is at this time that the crushing effect is completely released. Some friends asked again, as soon as it came up, it was crushed, and it was not good to play the hole cards?
Pretending to be forced.,101 I feel like it's better to play tricks.,The opponent can't answer the question of the protagonist.,And then the protagonist answered.,And give a variety of possibilities.,Isn't this full of fun of "playing people"!
Paragraph 5, there is nothing to say, it is to depict the opponent's extremely shocked reaction, which is already booming in the ears, and putting on an extremely humble attitude, I believe that at this time the readers are also beginning to feel satisfied, right?
Paragraph 6, very, very important, why did the protagonist and Cheng Yanjin's son disdain this result? The two didn't even pay attention to the old pedant, but joked with each other and discussed where to go for a while. This is to create contrast, the protagonist makes others crazy, and he himself doesn't care at all.
Just imagine, if the protagonist respectfully helped the old pedant up at this time and invited him to drink with him, would the reader still be so happy? Because your front nostrils turned up to the sky and disrespectful to the protagonist, you deserve to lie on the ground in embarrassment at this time, which is tantamount to making the protagonist breathe a bad breath. And the calmness of the protagonist greatly sets off the effect of pretending.
Paragraph 7, this is the genius of the author of Tang bricks, replaced by ordinary authors, it is likely that the effect of pretending to be forced will end in paragraph 6, why do you add Lao Cheng left and right to report here, and go to see it yourself?
Think about it, Lao Cheng didn't think about the protagonist before, didn't he? Even if you are good, you are a teenager after all, and it is not easy to compete with the old pedant until now. As a result, I ran to take a look and was shocked.
This is the same as when we take the exam at school, the parents say, you will take you out to play with a score of 60 points in the exam, but after the test, other children have come back, and you still don't go home, and the parents run to the school with a worried mood to see, you stinky boy has already gone to the Internet café to play games, and then ask the teacher, 100 points!
This also takes advantage of information asymmetry, resulting in secondary coercion.
To sum up, pretending to be forced is a university question, how to pretend to be a good force, not fake, but not too much, it is not easy.
It is necessary to fully create contrast, fully set off the atmosphere, and integrate multiple outfits to have the best effect.
This time, let's analyze it here.,The next lecture will continue to talk about pretending to be forced.,101 will give more examples to illustrate the difference between pretending to be open and pretending to be dark.,Stay tuned.。。。
