Episode 10 summary
I hesitated for a while before to cut the node of the tenth episode.
Because the name of the tenth episode is "The Long Night in Spring", the meaning it contains is actually the "Changing King Banner at the Head of the City" in Lu Xun's poems, so by extension, you can also write more about the next plot, writing about the appearance of the various forces in the world after the initial collapse of the Wu Dynasty, but then it was decided to cut it to the clown.
The clown is quite a complex character, although I have also written about relatively complex things before, such as Wang Shitong, such as Si Zhongxian, who sold the Sword Gate, such as Dai Mengwei, but these complexities can still be easily distinguished and classified, let's take them as primary complexities, and the clown here is at the intermediate level.
Writing a book pays attention to step-by-step, and it can't be too entangled at the beginning, but starting from the node of the clown, there will be some relatively complicated situations in the later stage, because the beginning and the end have reached the last stage, many clues, and even the whole world of "Son-in-law" will begin to be exhausted in complex situations, and everyone's fate will go to the critical point of sublimation and problem solving, so the plot of the clown can be regarded as a hello.
Of course, the clues will not be entangled and exaggerated, and I am not writing any serious literature, even if I have thoughts, it must be hidden in an interesting plot and coated in sugar, so you don't have to be too afraid.
I'm not going to comment on the merits of the Joker, but at this stage of the plot, there is such a person, who has done such a thing [new fo], and it is your freedom to look at it as you want.
In terms of plot setting, I want to mention that Tang Minjie is a very likable character, his appearance has always been a highlight moment, even if he betrayed Chen Wenjun, he has always been a unique protagonist on his own stage. But in the fourth chapter of the Joker, I replaced him with Chen Wenjun, he was at a loss, and Chen Wenjun laughed, relatively speaking, who is the Joker? It's more like Chen Wenjun who stayed in the north.
For a long time, Chen Wenjun's depictions have been relatively weak, and she has more contradictions than clowns. When she was young, she was taken captive to the north, and was instigated by the secret investigation department halfway, so she simply became a spy, and as a result, the spy originally prepared for the Liao people fell into the political circle of the Jin country, and she handed out a lot of information, but after the fall of the Central Plains, the secret investigation department of the Wu Dynasty was finished, and she was free.
In the plot of the last two episodes, she is basically swaying between a dilemma, whether to be a Jurchen lady or a Han lady, the two can do the same thing, but the meaning is completely different. So in the end, she wore away the influence of the clown, and Tang Minjie lost her status as a clown and brought back the kindness of Mrs. Han to the south.
This kind of replacement makes Mrs. Han a brighter protagonist.
I posted on Weibo that these two people will not die here, and they are burdened with ideas that are several times more complex than the current plot. That's what I'll write about in episode 11.
Let's talk about Episode 10.
I've always said that the son-in-law is an experimental essay, it will try something at each stage according to the purpose of practicing the pen, at the beginning of the son-in-law, I want to try to dig out the cool points and some unfinished meanings that can be written, that is, to use twice the writing to improve the expression of one percent, so at the beginning of it, the way of writing is a little chattering, once it reaches the climax, I often try to express more coolness through different angles.
In the first few episodes of the son-in-law, due to the need to make the seventh episode achieve the most compact effect, there are some ways I am still more restrained, such as when Zhou Tong stabbed Sticky Han, I also said that the perspective here is detached from the protagonist, and I will try to avoid it in the future.
Of course, after writing the seventh episode, I have reached the extreme in terms of personal satisfaction in stages, and then I wondered if I should extend the shaping of supporting roles and group portraits. In the second half of the original expected son-in-law, I thought about condensing the plot to Ning Yi's side, writing more emotional dramas and family dramas, and using this main axis to drive the supporting roles and reveal the cruelty of the war, but then I thought that there was no need to be so conservative.
Since the perspective is away from the main character, it is a natural minus, so when shaping the plot of the supporting characters, I have to dig more plus points so that people don't take their eyes off it. I also used to think that if my plot can still attract a large number of readers to watch when there is no main character, then in my next book, there will be basically no shortcomings to speak of, which is the reason for the large number of group portraits after the seventh episode.
According to the subscription, under the dual influence of such a number of updates and often no protagonist, the 24-hour subscription is still more than 10,000, and the attractiveness of the whole plot has not deviated. Of course, it can also be said that if I were a little more likable, its grades would also go up - this is the anticipation of the next book.
The whole of the tenth episode is also the shaping of a large number of group portraits, from the beginning of Junwu Zhou Pei to the Southwest Campaign of the Huaxia Army, there are Qu Zhengyan, there are Mao Yishan five people, and there are various battalion commanders and other lunch parties such as stealing Mao Yishan's coat, there are Si Zhongxian, and Yu Mingzhou who has made a comparison with him, Dai Mengwei, Wu Qimei, He Wen, Zou Xu...... Although the impression is certainly deep and shallow, as long as it is pointed out, the reader should be able to remember them, and on the whole, it should be successful. And from the eighth episode to the ninth episode to the present, there is basically no time to miss this aspect of writing.
finally came to Tang Minjie and Chen Wenjun to end this episode.
The entire book of "Son-in-law" should be eleven episodes. In other words, the next episode is the last episode of the son-in-law, of course, the volume of this last episode will be relatively large, its entire timeline will span more than ten years, and countless characters and clues will come to the end one after another in the huge plot, these lines are now clearly placed in front of me. Many people say that the reason why the son-in-law writes slowly, is because the orderly line is far more difficult than the line, the end of the son-in-law, I don't just want to put away the line, all the characters and ideas, I hope they can finally go to the sublimation, now that the foreshadowing has been done, I will tremble and start the final performance.
As an experimental essay, the next is its biggest challenge: the perfect ending and problem solving of more than 5 million words, which is probably a second challenge that an author will not have in his life.
The eleventh episode has to carry a lot of things, and I have considered several titles in the general direction, and finally chose the title of "The Water of the World", which is consistent with the idea of the eleventh episode, which is a relatively neutral statement, of course, there are also relatively negative and positive expressions, and the more negative expressions in the middle come from a poem, which many people should have seen.
Back then, loyalty was the reward of the country, why were you afraid of cutting off your head? If it is popular all over the world today, who will guard the country? The industry is not finished, the body is tired, and the temples are autumn. You and I, endure the long-cherished wish and pay it to the bottom of the river?
This poem is said to have been written to the prime minister in his later years, but in fact it is difficult to determine. I originally wanted to "you and me, endure the long-cherished wish, and pay it to the bottom of the river?" This sentence is used as a quotation for the eleventh episode, but considering that it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood and relatively negative, the positive statement is chosen, which naturally comes from the words of the great man.
Next, welcome to the eleventh episode of the son-in-law:
"The Water in the World"
