Chapter 22 Novel Structure

Even Wen Xun now has a little outline of this story in his mind - at the beginning, the identities of the two heroines were very different, one was a young lady of the landlord's family, and the other was a child daughter-in-law of the landlord's family. Although the child daughter-in-law will marry the landlord's son in the future, she usually has to clean the yard, wash clothes and cook like a servant.

Then sometimes, the young lady of the landlord's family would call out the child daughter-in-law in front of her, treat her as a confidant object, and say some topics that the child daughter-in-law does not understand at all. However, the two are quite close to each other, and the child daughter-in-law also taught the female language of the landlord's family in the countryside.

At that time, the status of the two people was very different. But with the advent of the war, with the difference of fate, all of a sudden the identity gap between the two began to narrow, and even equalized. In the end, because of the war, the former high-ranking landlord lady was in prison, but the life of the child daughter-in-law was getting better and better......

Just thinking about this story makes Wen Xun feel very interesting, quite a literary youth, and a sense of atmosphere of an award-winning article, as if it should be a theme that only real writers will choose!

Thinking of this, Wen Xun finally understood why he chose this topic and this story in the "future". Isn't such a family secret history full of dramatic tension a subject given to Wen Xun by God? As long as he chats with his wife about his grandmother in his spare time, he can get the prototype of this story at any time!

From this moment on, Wen Xun really wanted to use this story of his grandmother to submit an essay contest. It's no longer like I used this topic because I knew I would write about it, so I used it the same way. However, Wen Xun still has some information to be determined.

For example, in the preliminary round, will the theme be limited? What if the organizing committee doesn't allow you to submit a novel? Although according to the conversation with Lilac in the dream, it should be possible to submit a novel, but he still has to be 100% sure. Moreover, he doesn't know what the word limit is for the preliminary round of this essay contest!

Is there no upper limit at all? Or 5,000 words and 10,000 words? Or a thousand words? For a novel, the fewer words you have, the harder it is to write! If the word limit is 1,000 words, then he really doesn't have the confidence to surpass others...... And there is also the issue of the deadline, if the deadline is a little late, he will still have enough time to keep revising the article. But the deadline can't be too late, maybe he hasn't had time to publish the book yet, and the deadline for improving his family's life within 10 months has arrived......

In short, all of this will have to wait for Wen Xun to go to bed tonight to get the answer......

Now is the time for lunch, and it is still far from going to bed at night, Wen Xun decided to start thinking directly about how to set up the skeleton of the story. Now the skeleton of the story is roughly set, that is, the fate of two women with completely different statuses before has changed each other's fate because of the great changes in society and war, and their status has begun to slowly reverse.

The skeleton itself is quite dramatic, and there is nothing wrong with it, but Wen Xun began to think about whether to design the fate of the landlord's son a little. When he was in elementary school, he read hundreds of martial arts novels with his father, and he was familiar with 300 Tang poems, and he couldn't compose poems and could chant them.

Although the exchange of the identities of the two women is balanced and contrasting enough, Wen Xun always feels that it is a bit of a waste of material to not use it, or not to explain the ending of the landlord's son, or it is imperfect. However, if you directly arrange the down-and-out ending of a landlord's son, it doesn't seem to be dramatic or symmetrical enough!

Yes, not symmetrical enough! The change of fate of the two heroines is contrasting and symmetrical. But if the fate of the landlord's son is miserable, there is no comparison, no symmetry! Or...... Design a character to contrast and symmetry with him?

For example, to design a poor boy? The son of a landlord's tenant farmer or a long-term worker? In this way, the opening scene can be limited to the courtyard of the landlord's house, and the whole story can explain the emotion of "people are powerless in the face of the general trend" through the change of fate of four children of about the same age in a courtyard?

And then, this poor boy has always had a bit of a crush on his child daughter-in-law? In order to break fate, in order to be able to marry a child and raise a daughter-in-law and go home, why did you go to join the army and participate in a war that changed the whole country?

The more I think about Wen Xun, the more interesting I feel, yes, he has read too many novels, so much so that he can come up with such an interesting plot according to his own fantasy according to the material.

If it is written as I just thought, then the whole story is a two-clue narrative, or a four-clue narrative, although I don't know if I can operate it, but Wen Xun can't think about it so much, he is now immersed in the fun of creating an original plot.

"Even, you can set up that poor boy was polite and polite when he was a child, but the landlord's son has a big personality?" Wen Xun thought so. Because if you want to design the landlord's son to have a miserable fate because of certain things after liberation, then it must be assumed that he is miserable because of some wrong speculation. And can speculate on the wrong speculation, Wen Xun feels that the kind of talent who is arrogant and bold is the easiest to turn this kind of mistake.

Wrong! If you set the son of the long-term worker family with a polite character, although it is enough to contrast, it is asymmetrical! It should still be that the two of them have similar personalities! In this way, the son of the Changgong family and the son of the landlord should be both arrogant and bold to be symmetrical!

In this way, it took an afternoon to slowly build the skeleton of the whole story. I don't know exactly how many words I can use to write this story, but that's just a technical thing, and it doesn't affect the architecture of the entire skeleton.

After finishing dinner, Wen Xun's hand already had a rough plot outline. On this trending table, Wen Xun designed two lines, one bright and one dark, with two women being the main line and two men being the dark line. The main perspective focuses on the description of two women, but the development of two men in the dark line will affect the choices and fates of the two women from time to time, and even affect the choices and fates of everyone......

Seeing the plot backbone in his hand, this original outline, Wen Xun was a little surprised. He couldn't have imagined that he could really make such a decent thing in one afternoon, could it be that he really had a little talent for writing novels?

With such a surprise, Wen Xun lay on the bed, ready to meet the dream of this night. As he lay in bed, he was just like last night, thinking about the days after the preliminary round.

Soon, Wen Xun entered the dream as he wished, and the date of the dream seemed to be after the end of the preliminary competition......

"Wen Xun Wen Xun, here is your letter." Suddenly, Wen Xun found himself sitting in the classroom, surrounded by noisy people, while the puppy shouted to Wen Xun while waving the letter in his hand.

"It's still from Songjiang, it's a letter from the New Youth magazine! Do you think it was the girl who notified you that you had passed the preliminary round? The puppy who walked in from outside the door widened his eyes and asked Wen Xun. Her face was full of nervousness and expectation, and she looked as if it was not Wen Xun who was submitted, but herself!

Wen Xun took the letter and opened it, and sure enough, the letter informed Wen Xun that his "Snowflake Secret Fan" had passed the preliminary examination, and then also informed Wen Xun that the semi-final of the New Language Essay Contest would be held in Songjiang City in mid to late January......

"Wen Xun, you have passed! You've passed! The puppy in the dream was about to jump up with joy, especially compared with the calm Wen Xun, it was easy to misunderstand that it was the puppy that passed the preliminary round, not Wen Xun.

"By the way, puppy, do you remember what the word limit was during the preliminary round? Can I write a novel? Wen Xun waited until the puppy was almost happy, and then asked the puppy as if he was fine.

"Remember, the word limit is 5,000 words, you can write a novel, you can't write a novel, how did you submit this story?" The puppy in the dream is still very cute, and replied with "Ya, Ya, Ya".

Hearing what the puppy said, Wen Xun suddenly relieved his heart. Although 5,000 words is not much, it is at least much easier to operate than a thousand words, and it seems that you can also submit novels, isn't all this for Wen Xun!

Thinking of this, Wen Xun was excited. Because in this way, what Wen Xun has to worry about is not the question of whether to change the whole story, but how to stuff such a story into a specification that is only 5,000 words.

Now, what is in front of Wen Xun is equivalent to some technical problems, which makes Wen Xun feel that he has a good future. Zhang Lei, Li Yiwen, these people who look down on Wen Xun, you just wait to be slapped in the face and beaten to death by Wen Xun! dragged the same two hundred and fifty or eighty thousand one by one, and still felt that Wen Xun had improved the rematch at all, and wanted to link the award with further education by concealing it and wanted Wen Xun to give up?

The next morning, when Wen Xun got up, he felt so confident for the first time, as if no one in the whole world could stop him from making a fortune by writing books!
