Chapter 88: Character Design
Originally, Wang Defu thought that since he wanted to write a cool article, he must add a golden finger to the protagonist, otherwise why could the little people counterattack?
The existence of Goldfinger is basically to make the protagonist's protagonist aura manifest and make the whole work seem more reasonable.
At the beginning, the gold finger he thought of was a superpowered daughter from an anime, a very interesting and warm work, but in a blink of an eye, he vetoed this gold finger, mainly because he felt that it was too different from the painting style of the "Chinese version of the godfather" he wanted to write.
And to be honest, the concept of "superpowers" has not even been formed in the minds of the majority of readers, and if the time comes, if the readers look confused, then the book will definitely not be popular, and in the future, he can write a groundbreaking work with the theme of superpowers, showing readers his brain hole and imagination.
Since Wang Defu spent so much time and energy collecting materials for this new work, and even took the initiative to talk to the daughter of the underworld boss, it shows that he wants to make this work as realistic and down-to-earth as possible.
In this way, any supernatural element appearing in this work is very disobedient and destroys the sense of substitution.
After setting such a tone, Wang Defu was very skeptical that this underworld upgrade liushuang article that he was going to write would suddenly "kneel in the truth" in the process of writing, just because a small person, to become the top godfather of the underworld, how can it be smooth sailing, and he will inevitably experience all kinds of joys and sorrows......
Wang Defu forcibly erased this thought, but his young heart made him feel really unwilling, and he always felt that if he didn't write something deep (hey) carved (), he couldn't explain his writing.
He decided to finish the character design, in the process of really writing, the character's character will promote the plot by himself, if there is really a plot that makes the reader feel depressed, then he can't help it, because the character has been written by him, and he has the power to think and act, and he can't blame him as the author.
After finally deciding not to add any explicit golden finger to the protagonist of the novel he was going to write next, Wang Defu naturally wanted to add a hidden golden finger to him, and make a fuss about the protagonist's character and luck, otherwise he really wanted to write a useless ordinary person as the protagonist, and he could become the godfather of the underworld, which would make readers feel particularly fake and completely lose their sense of substitution.
How can a person succeed?
As the saying goes, character determines fate, and at the same time, people's success is inseparable from talent, hard work and luck, so Wang Defu first made the protagonist setting, which is a tenacious, calm, calm, and wise bottom person, and at the same time, he is also very affectionate and righteous, and has his own bottom limits and principles.
Such a character setting can make the protagonist reasonably win the love of the younger brothers, become the leader of an organization, and at the same time turn the tide at a critical moment and move step by step to the pinnacle of underworld power.
After doing a good job in the character design of the protagonist, he finally named the protagonist "Chen Yuesheng", just because when he wrote this work, he would also refer to the life and deeds of the "Du Yuesheng" in another world, but the protagonist he wrote was obviously more decent than Du Yuesheng.
Of course, no matter how decent a gangster is, he still can't be washed away after all, and even his kind of bottom line and principles will bring him a lot of trouble, which is also the contradiction that promotes the development of the plot of this novel, and it will also be the shining point of this novel.
Written in the latter way, the novel may seem more reasonable, because in reality, after all, those who are unscrupulous will have the last laugh, and those who have a limit and principles may be ridiculed as pedantic.
The harsh reality is always disappointing, hence the novel.
However, the existence of the novel is precisely to convey what the author really wants to convey through the characters, Wang Defu will show the bloodiness and cruelty of the gangster world through such a work, and the kind of "come out to mix, always have to be returned" will be vividly shown in many underworld characters who have a miserable end.
And the more evil those bottomless underworld characters are, the more they can set off the justice of the protagonist, he seems to be incompatible with the entire underworld world, he is always lonely, which also reflects his tenacity in character more and more.
The essence of the novel is to write people, Wang Defu hopes to portray an ideal image of the godfather of the underworld in his mind, which not only satisfies the YY of readers, but also satisfies his own sustenance, and even influences those who have no choice but to step into the underworld, so that they all want to become "Chen Yuesheng", not those villains in his novels.
It can only be said that Wang Defu, a writer, does have more idealistic feelings, which is both his strength and his flaw, because he always wants to make his works more meaningful, rather than being forgotten by readers after reading them.
However, for a work to become more meaningful, it must have some tragic characters and plots that readers will never forget, so that the whole work can be sublimated.
Wang Defu used this to create the heroine's character, and the heroine's name is "Shen Pujia".
Since the male protagonist Chen Yuesheng is a little person from the bottom, the female protagonist Shen Pujia naturally has to be of a very high background and stage a classic love scene between a poor boy and the eldest lady, which has been a favorite content for readers since ancient times.
The poor boy and the eldest lady, Cinderella and the prince, such a gap seems to be able to reflect love, as for the "right family" or something, in literary works, it is often criticized, even if it is in reality, it is actually more reasonable.
Wang Defu's work will not only refer to the real character "Du Yuesheng" in his world, but also refer to the popular TV series "Shanghai Tang", in which the emotional scene between Xu Wenqiang and Feng Chengcheng is unforgettable.
Judging from the name of "Shen Pujia", as long as you are a reader who has watched the classic urban online article "The Demon Life of Chen Ergou" by the princes of the Great God Beacon Opera, you will know how well the heroine of this work "Cao Pujia" is portrayed, and how suffocating Cao Pujia's final tragedy is.
Of course, Wang Defu feels that Cao Pujia's tragedy is a bit of a tragedy for the sake of tragedy, but I have to admit that a character can often be remembered by readers through death, even if the author will be scolded by readers because of this.
Wang Defu's "Shen Pujia" carries the task of making readers remember, and it will also be the core character that triggers the biggest climax of the whole text.
Between her and Chen Yuesheng, there is a heart-wrenching love.
This is a work of fiction with a single female protagonist.
To sum up, this work Wang Defu created based on the realistic materials he collected, plus the combination of many fantasy materials in his mind, such as "The Godfather", "Shanghai Tang", Du Yuesheng and so on.
