Not long after Huang Haifeng swung his knife, the manager of the bathing center on the fourth floor called him and told him to report to the catering department on the second floor tomorrow morning.

After the work problem was implemented, Huang Haifeng was relieved to listen to Chang Zheng's lecture.

Chang Zheng first analyzed Huang Haifeng, why are the red books of those urban gangs popular? Don't think that Ah Feng, if you have mixed with the gang, you can write the red book of the gang, and a professional player who has played football may not be able to become a good football coach. Zhong Lijian, the first person in today's martial arts novels and the god of all gods, has he practiced those martial arts cheats? Did the martial arts sects he wrote about really exist?

If you don't talk about them, just call me a god. Have I ever been to the horror movie world of reincarnation? Is there really a main god space or a box world? Who knows.

But the reader knows that this is not true, why is he still fascinated by it. It's simple, the plot, the characters.

Creativity, plot, characters, and writing, I just told Ah Feng that the first three items should be written first, and a good writing can play a role.

Whether it's martial arts or the city, after writing for so many years, almost all the copywriting that can be written has been written, and it is basically difficult to write any new ideas. So you have to rely on the plot and characters to win.

Those urban gang red books, in your opinion, are unreal and super bad. But it is undeniable that those authors wrote the plot very well and attractively.

The most important thing is that nine out of ten readers have never been in a gang, and they can't tell the difference between the real and the fake. Whoever can write the plot wonderfully and smoothly and portray the characters vividly, the reader will read whose book, so a specific novel atmosphere is created. In this particular atmosphere, readers will feel good-natured that the story told by the author is true, and thus have a sense of substitution.

For example, Ah Feng, when you open the incense hall, you have to burn yellow paper and cut off the head of the chicken. Chicken, it must be ten and a half pounds of rooster, one or two more is not enough, less one or two is not enough. You spend a lot of words in the book to emphasize this, to emphasize this poor rooster.

I know that the reality may be like this, you may have personally participated in the scene of opening the incense hall, and this ten-and-a-half-pound head-killing rooster may have been bought by you in person at the poultry market.

But for a novel, that's not the point. For a business novel, the rooster isn't the selling point. Readers don't care about the weight of the rooster, and to be honest, it doesn't matter if you just arrange for a chicken to be beheaded and drink chicken blood, even if it's a hen.

The focus of the reader's attention is, what role does the protagonist play when he opens the incense hall, what kind of wonderful plot can he bring, and what can he get? Is he going to execute the traitor and the anti-bone boy with his own hands, and then become the boss's henchman. As a result, the protagonist later became a master, and the boss was very suspicious of him and wanted to kill him to avoid raising tigers. The protagonist is unwilling to be a fish and let others slaughter him, so he takes the first step to kill his boss......

In the end, the protagonist becomes an underground emperor who dominates one side, asks for money and money, wants women to have women, and his subordinates do it fiercely. He let out his words, during the day the city is under the control of the strip, and after ten o'clock in the evening, it is under my control. Look, how awesome. This is what the reader wants to see, not the model and killing method of the chicken.

"So, Ah Feng." , Chang Zheng spoke for dozens of minutes in a row, thirsty, he took a sip of tea, and continued: "Attention, I have talked about the key point, the key point that can make your annual income exceed one million." ”

Huang Haifeng's eyes flashed with excitement and expectation, he swiped the screen of his mobile phone and said, "Cangshen, please speak, I will record." for future review. ”

"Go to the heart, go to the heart! If you remember it with your heart, you will never forget it. Don't record it, I'm not a prisoner. Chang Zheng patted his heart and taught Huang Haifeng to be attentive when listening to the lecture and not to play with his mobile phone.

Chang Zheng dipped his finger in some tea and wrote eight words on the table.

Huang Haifeng looked at the water word and read it word by word: "It's too late, and it's too late." ”

Chang Zheng nodded, and then quickly wiped off the water character. After wiping it off, he wrote eight more words.

"Plot characters, seven true and three false?" , Huang Haifeng read the words correctly, but he was a little puzzled.

Chang Zheng wiped his handwriting again and said, "Have you memorized these sixteen words?" The first eight characters are taboo, and the last eight characters are appropriate. Writing, in fact, is also a craft. Like tailoring, driving, and baking flatbread, it's a survival skill. Since it is a skill, it can be improved through reasonable repetition of practice. Of course, practice is also exquisite, and the way is right. Otherwise, the more you invest, the farther you get in the right direction. In the past two years, you have practiced close to three million words, enough is enough, it's time for the harvest season. As long as you avoid taboos and do more, you can do a lot. ”

"Cangshen, can you be specific?"

Chang Zheng: "Too much, abandon the basics, must be avoided." Or take the rooster just now as an example, you describe too much of the real gang rules and scenes, this is too much, and some of them are too much. This kind of scene description should be necessary, but it is good to mention it in one stroke, and the scene can never overshadow the limelight of the plot and characters. No matter how real you describe the scene, it is not as real and intuitive as a film and television drama. Readers read books, not to see scenes, nor to learn the rules of the rivers and lakes. What they want is a space for imagination that they can substitute.

What is this? The plot and characters are the foundation, and they are also the main composition and consciousness carrier of this imaginary space. Only by writing the twists and turns of the plot and portraying vivid and vivid characters can you retain the reader. The plot characters, seven truths and three falsehoods, you can slowly understand it. In short, it is appropriate literary rhetoric and artistic rendering, which should be exaggerated and exaggerated, and should be imagined. Half-truths, hazy and ethereal, perhaps more appealing. But don't be too fake, so it's good to say three points of fake. Those red book authors can be popular because they have a good grasp of the scale of truth and falsehood. And when you write a book, it's ten true and zero false, so you can't make money. Forgive me for being blunt. ”

"Cangshen, you are right. The plot I wrote was really average, and I always thought that the real one was the best. Hey, it turns out that there must be three points off, just like a woman's breasts. I'm a wild roader, and no one taught me to write before, but fortunately, I met you. Huang Haifeng was both satisfied and regretful. I am satisfied that I have learned a lot of dry goods today. Unfortunately, too much time was wasted doing useless work before.

"Well, that's right, it's a lot of twists and turns, it's true after three folds. Ouch, let's withdraw for the night. By the way, I have a sample, and I'll send it to you in two days. If you think you can, just write it, if you can't, forget it. In the past two days, I have assigned you a task, after you get off work, don't do anything, just read "Evil Awe" from beginning to end, I have updated it to more than 200,000 words now, you have to read it intensively. After reading it once, read it again from the beginning, and read it several times if you can. You have to read it with a purpose, and have a good understanding of what YY is and how to grasp the level of YY appropriately. Forget your previous writing thinking and reorganize your creative thoughts. OK？ Chang Zheng got up and beckoned Huang Haifeng to prepare to withdraw.

“OK！” , Huang Haifeng now regards Chang Zheng as his writing enlightenment teacher.

When Chang Zheng returned home, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. It took him more than three hours to scan Huang Haifeng's third and fourth books. Why did he read Huang Haifeng's book, because he wanted to help Huang Haifeng design an outline. In the restaurant just now, the sample that Chang Zheng said actually refers to the outline.

Chang Zheng gave Huang Haifeng a lesson in macro strategy and taught him some principles. But in terms of tactical practice, Chang Zheng knew that Huang Haifeng could not make up a blockbuster story so quickly. It's like a person who is used to driving an automatic transmission car, and suddenly driving a manual transmission car, is definitely not used to it.

Chang Zheng now wants to teach Huang Haifeng how to step on the clutch and shift gears. Let Huang Haifeng grope for himself, maybe he will find out until the Year of the Monkey. The master leads the door to practice in an individual, and it is better to have a master to lead it.

The emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry, and Chang Zheng is a bit like a eunuch now. He wants to personally handle it and help Huang Haifeng tailor a story outline. As for what Huang Haifeng can write after he gets the outline, Chang Zheng is not clear, so he can only wait and see. But he thinks that this is also a test for Huang Haifeng, the outline has been compiled for you, if you can't write it well, then I can only find another good general.
