Volume 22 Horror Novels Chapter 2 Reincarnation

"Red Moon Town?" Ya Zhen wrote these three words in his notebook, and then, looking up, looked at Yatian, and said, "So, there is a origin to this name, right?" ”
Mitian nodded and said, "Of course, Red Moon Town is a town where the moon in the sky will be blood-red all year round. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yazhen continued to record, but halfway through writing, she said, "Well, Mitian, why don't you change it?" In other words, there is a certain time of the year when the blood-red moon appears, do you feel that this mystery is a little stronger? ”
After hearing this, Mitian immediately clapped his palms and said, "Yes, sister, your idea is very good, just change it!" Then, the plot begins with a woman who goes crazy......"
"Well, crazy woman...... It's a bit of a horror element. Yajin continued to record this, and asked, "Is the mad woman in a prophetic role?" ”
"Not bad. How do you know? Sister? ”
"Isn't this the case in horror movies? Normal people don't believe in ghosts, so people who believe in ghosts are naturally regarded as crazy. And because madmen don't have normal thinking, they don't need to explain how to get prophetic powers, and they can also add mystical elements. The essence of horror fiction is that the unknowable, the unthinkable, that is the real horror. ”
"You seem to know better than I do, sister."
"That's, the college students here, they're still studying for exams, looking at the era of Ultraman and Cherry Maruko, I don't know how many times I've fought with death, and I've even been in the pile of corpses, what horror is, I know better than anyone else. So I know better than anyone how to overcome terror. Well, Roosevelt once said something that was used to motivate the American people in times of economic crisis, and that sentence was, 'The only thing to be feared is fear itself,' and that quote is a classic for me. ”
"Sister, today, don't mention things related to the apartment."
"Okay." Mi Zhen smiled slightly and said, "That's right, today, there is no blood indication, everything is decided by our sisters, haha, this feels very cool, right?" Heavenly? ”
"Hmm...... I mentioned just now that the Mad Woman is a woman who has been living in Red Moon Town, and then it is the beginning of the horror phenomenon. ...... by the heroine"
"Has the heroine's character been decided?"
"Personality?"
"Character design is very important, because horror novels are a special genre, if the sense of substitution is not strong enough, it will obviously affect the readability of the novel. The protagonist can't be too timid, nor too bold, and there must be a good grasp of a scale. I think a divorced single woman is a very good setting, because she is a woman, and she lives alone with a child, this obvious image of a weak person is easy to arouse the reader's affection, and at the same time, you can also use the child to perceive all kinds of horror phenomena. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone. ”
"Well, actually, I think so, too. And, most importantly, the image of women as weak people is often deeply understood, and in horror novels, women as the protagonists can greatly enhance the sense of substitution. Of course, everything is based on the fact that this book publishes horror novels on the Internet. ”
"Forget it, online novels are all the positions of fantasy fairies, where will anyone read horror novels. As for the heroine, it can be set that because she has just divorced, but her ex-husband is entangled, she temporarily moved to this small town to live for a while. If you work, you can write it as ...... By the way, what about web writers? This way, you can work even in remote towns. It is not good to arrange to be unemployed, because it is very difficult for the unemployed party to obtain custody in divorce proceedings. ”
"Network...... Writer? Well, well, that's for now. If you're a child, you can set it to be five or six years old, well, it's a boy. Next, it's the story of Red Moon Town, right? Are you going to set it up as an ancient curse? ”
"Almost. This kind of remote town is also very suitable for creating horror themes. As for the curse, I'm going to set it that way......"
That night, Mitian returned to his bedroom, still thinking about the outline of the novel in his head. Finally, I opened my laptop, created a document, and started writing down all my ideas inside. He plans to write a novella of about 100,000 words. As a test of the waters.
"After I wrote it...... Show it to Li Yin, right? ”
Closing the laptop, Mitian suddenly felt a trace of satisfaction in his heart. Especially, when Yajin said that to him. Whatever he does, she says, as long as it makes him want to live, that's fine.
"Sister......" he said in a voice that only he could hear, "thank you." Really, thank you. ”
On the second day, during the lunch break at noon, in the cafeteria, Mitian was holding a meal, and suddenly found that Xiyue was sitting not far away. Suddenly, he quickened his pace.
"Shioyue!" Mi Tian came to her and said, "I, can I sit here?" ”
"Yes, you can." Xiyue immediately said, "You can sit casually." ”
"Okay." Miten immediately sat down.
I have to say that Xiyue is so beautiful that even if she just sits quietly, some very subtle movements can make people fall in love with her. The word perfect is simply coined for people like her.
"I heard Ya Zhen say you're writing a novel?" Xiyue smiled, that moment was simply moving, making Mitian almost stupid.
"Ah, yes." Mi Tian reacted and said, "Yes, my sister told you that, right?" She's just fast-talking. ”
"Mi Zhen is a person who can hide secrets, but you and your sister are not like each other at all, always rejecting people from thousands of miles away." When Xiyue said this, her eyes blinked, and she said, "After you finish writing, why don't you let me take a look?" I just don't know, how is your writing? If the writing is good, maybe there will be a writer in our class. ”
"Xiyue, what type of novels do you like?"
"Me? Romance kind of it. But I also love science fiction. I heard you write horror novels? I don't read this genre very often, you can't write it scary, right? ”
"Well, it's going to be scary. If you're scared, look no further. ”
"It's okay." Xiyue waved her hand and said, "What is the relationship between me and Mizhen?" I'm sure I'll be watching it. ”
"Really? Then I'll take a look. ”
A voice came, Mi Tian immediately turned around, standing behind him, it was not Li Yin, who else could it be?
"Li Yin?" Mi Tian immediately stood up and said, "You, have been here?" ”
"Well, almost. Do you want to write horror novels? I've heard you write short stories once in a while, but they seem to be scary stories. I heard that you are planning to write a novella this time? Be sure to let me read it when you're done. Your writing, I think, is still good. ”
At that time, Li Yin didn't say it casually. He has long regarded Mitian as a close friend, so his books will naturally be read with all his heart, not to mention that he himself plans to write novels in the future.
Mitian looked at Xiyue and Li Yin, and became even more determined to create this novel well.
For the next few days, he and Yazhen stayed in the library, studying every detail of the novel, and finally, they began to write. About a month later, he wrote his first novella horror novella, titled Reincarnation.
This horror novel is also his only later novella. In fact, Mitian has always believed that horror novels are not suitable for writing long novels, because this kind of novel is completely imaginative, and it must ensure the unknowable unknown, and if you write too much, you have to reveal too much content, and the unknown and mystery will be destroyed, so it is most appropriate to write a short story of 350,000 words.
After that, after reading this novel, Xiyue and Li Yin praised it greatly, and for a while many people in the class read it, and it was considered to be the best work of Mitian.
At the end of the novel, there is an open-ended ending, and the life and death of the heroine is a suspense. Mi Tian explained to Li Yin like this: "I think the open-ended ending is the most ideal ending for a horror novel. Terror is something in the middle of hope and despair, and if you are biased towards either side, you will lose the standard, and if you are in between, you can maximize its horror effect. ”
This open-ended ending is also one of Li Yin's favorite points, and he claims that he will learn from this point when writing novels in the future.
And this is also Mitian's last novel. The delicate brushstrokes are impressive.
At the beginning, a flashback technique is used: "Sky. It used to be a full silver-white moon, but now, it is covered with a layer of blood red. Then, the blood red seemed to cover all the sight in front of him. ”
June 23, 2011.
Li Yin opened the document of this novel again at this moment and looked at the opening line. At the beginning, Mi Zhen had just returned to China to meet him, and said that the novel he hoped to give to her was this "Reincarnation".
"Are you reading a horror novel? Li Yin? ”
Li Yin immediately looked back and saw that it was deep rain standing behind him.
"You, how did you get in?" Li Yin immediately stood up and asked.
"How do you get in...... Open the door and come in," Shen Yu had a very innocent expression: "You didn't lock the door yourself." I wanted to ask you if you were in attendance at this afternoon's Scarlet Word Seminar. The residents have unanimously decided that if you are still absent from this meeting, Ke Yinye will be officially elected as the new building director. ”
"So?" Li Yin replied without thinking: "Then let them let Ke Yinye be the new building director." I don't care. ”
"I have a so-called!" Shen Yu rushed over and grabbed Li Yin's collar and said, "Are you finished?" Where did Li Yin, who erased the blood three times and saved Midnight, go? Am I changing myself just to see you the way you are? It was you, you who changed me! ”
"Well, I'm sorry for you."
Shenyu still wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he still didn't continue.
"That's it. Whatever you want! Shen Yu was just about to turn around, but suddenly turned around and said, "Speaking of which, whose novel is this?" ”
"One of my college classmates."
Shen Yu walked to the computer, looked at it carefully, and said, "The writing is not bad." Can you send a copy to my email address? ”
"You want to see it too?"
"Just pass the time. I'll go first. ”
After watching Shenyu leave, Li Yin sat down again. At this time, he suddenly noticed that there was still a person standing at the door, it was the midnight of the dead escape!
She walked in, looked at Li Yin, and wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything.
The two stared at each other silently. It's as if you want to capture the other person's heart from the eyes.
