However, in just one night, Her Majesty's cognition of the Empress has changed from having hands to teaching me to write, and the change is not insignificant.

"Generally speaking, you have to write an outline first, and through the outline, you can figure out the development of a story.

But you have a clear story line in mind, so you don't have to write this, but you have to set up stages for the plot, that is, set up branch lines, and these branch lines must develop progressively, and finally complete the main line.

To put it bluntly, it is to set the goal first, and then distinguish the main and secondary to write out the process of the protagonist to achieve the goal, and finally the goal is achieved, which is a stage and a branch.

Then set a new goal - the process of achieving the goal - the goal is achieved, and so on, just like climbing a staircase, climbing up little by little, and finally completing the main line as a matter of course. ”

"So, how do you think this goal should be set?"

Jiang Li felt a little wooden, "How to set it up?" ”

Lin Luo tried to guide her, "The protagonist of Ling is Taizu, I also said just now that I want to set up a stage and a branch line for the story, what goal do you think should be set for Taizu in the first branch line?" ”

"Expelling Hu Lu and clarifying the universe?"

"Your goal is too ambitious, this is the main line of the story, you have to set a small goal at the beginning, remember the beginning I talked about last night? Do you recall memories? ”

"The bandit?"

Lin Luo nodded, "Yes, if this paragraph is written as your beginning, then what do you think Emperor Taizu's goal was at the beginning?" ”

Be the leader of the bandits.

Jiang Li's mind came up with the answer, but in this atmosphere now, she seemed to be back to seven or eight years old in a trance, the age when she had just come out of the pavilion to study.

Facing Lin Luo's expectant eyes, she was silent for a while, then pursed her lips and said a little unconfidently: "Become the leader of the bandits?" ”

"That's right, so the first goal you set for the protagonist is to be the leader of the bandits, right?"

"Yes."

"Now that you have set a goal, what kind of routine should you follow according to the formula I just taught you?"

Jiang Li felt that his brain was more wooden, and his heart said Can you say the answer directly, don't always ask questions, as soon as I ask a question, I feel like an elm head

Did this guy do it on purpose, trying to use this to hit me?

She frowned and was silent for a while, but finally chose to ask: "How to write?" ”

"Can't think of it?"

"Hmm"

"I've just taught that setting a goal, then setting a plot around that goal, and finally completing the goal, is the most basic writing routine."

Lin Luo thought for a while and said: "For example, if you want to promote some policies, this is your goal, after you put it forward, there are ministers in the court who oppose it, and they hold a group to fight against you, and at this time it is deadlocked, and the decree cannot be implemented at all." ”

"But you must implement it, you have used some means, or to win over or suppress, or to make profits or compromises, and finally the decree has been implemented and your goal has been accomplished."

After listening to Lin Luo's analogy, Jiang Li's eyes suddenly flashed with a sudden look, it turned out that the so-called book writing routine was like this, and it was not difficult to write a book

"In this analogy I played, what do you think is the plot you are going to set up?"

“.”

Jiang Li was silent for a while, "What? ”

Lin Luo really couldn't figure out why he was so stupid, so he had to say: "I just said, your implementation of policies is the goal, and the success of the implementation is the completion of the goal."

Then the minister's opposition, reached an impasse, and you used the means . This series of processes, put in it, is the plot you set up around the goal, yes or no? ”

“.. Be. ”

"Therefore, when you write, you have to write about how your policy has benefited the people of the world, and how it has touched the personal interests of the courtiers, and you have to write about the immensity of their opposition, and how helpless and angry you were at that time.

Then write about your reaction at the time, with your temperament, it must be angry but not expressed, just calmly announce the next court, and then the means you used, what means you used, how to use them, after the means were used, what reactions did those ministers have, and then explain with pen and ink why it had this effect.

In this way, there are conflicts and ups and downs in your plot, and you also use the plot to shape the character. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Luo's voice gradually slowed down again, and finally stared at her and asked, "So, what do you need to think about in the process of writing these plots?" ”

Can you just say it and don't ask again." Jiang Li really can't stand it, he lectures just lectures, but this guy always asks, I'm not a roundworm in your stomach, how do you know what you want me to think.

"I'm guiding you, letting you think and comprehend for yourself, so that you can learn solidly."

"But my head hurts when you ask, and my brain is wooden." Jiang Li's frowning eyebrows were full of distress, and the eyes that looked at him also had a little resentment.

Looking at her appearance, Lin Luo always felt a little coquettish, and reached out to put it on her head, "I have a headache, come, Master will rub it for you." ”

"Smack!" Jiang Li reached out and slapped his dog's paw aside, glared at him angrily, and the dog touched my head again!

The two looked at each other for a while, and Lin Luo turned his gaze away, looking as if nothing had happened, "What do you need to think about in the process of writing the plot just now?" ”

"You don't ask, you just say it!" Jiang Li's voice raised an octave, this guy is really annoying, he knows that I can't answer, so I have to ask.

"How can you, an apprentice, have a bigger temper than the master? Who is the apprentice? Who is the Master? ”

"I didn't say I wanted to be your apprentice."

"I've been teaching you for so long, and you don't even recognize a master? If you're going to do that, then I can't teach you. ”

"If you don't teach," Jiang Li swallowed back again, and then glared at him angrily, "I'm all touched by you." ”

"Okay, then you let me touch it again."

Lin Luo grabbed his little hand and touched it twice, but Jiang Li pulled it out, and then glared at him angrily.

The two looked at each other for a while, Lin Luo looked away again, still looking like nothing had happened, "Let's move on to this plot, when you conceive the plot, what you have to think about is not only how to write the plot brilliantly, there are conflicts, there are ups and downs, and there are suspense. In addition to these, there is also a very important premise - it must be reasonable, at least to a certain extent. ”

"What is reasonable"

Lin Luo subconsciously wanted to ask a question again, and as soon as the words came out, he turned to say: "For example, if the ministers of your policy do not agree, you start to use means in order to make the ministers compromise. And you have to make the means smart, so that the effect, or the end, combined with the effect, will make the reader feel reasonable.

But if you make the means very mentally retarded, but you achieve the goal, then no matter how good the conflict you create, no matter how brilliant the description is. Readers will also feel that it is far-fetched, that your plot is very intellectual, and will spray you in the book review area, and even abandon the book to understand, right? ”

"Yes."

Jiang Li stiffened his face in response, feeling that the guy in front of him had become much more pleasing to the eye, wouldn't it be good if he had done this earlier, he had to ask, it was really annoying.

"It's good to be able to understand, but in addition to the rationality of the plot, you also have to consider the rationality between the plot and the character, that is, the protagonist or supporting character you write has its own character, who is your protagonist?"

"Emperor Taizu Gao."

"That's right, Emperor Taizu Gao, so what kind of character do you plan to set for Emperor Taizu Gao?"

Jiang Li immediately said: "There is a record of this in the history books: Taizu is generous and forgiving, open-minded and generous, and he is still chivalrous, bold and straightforward, and pays attention to hearing and judging when dealing with things, without losing his tactfulness and prudence. ”

"Then according to the history books, I look at the bold personality, as if I don't have any heart, but in fact, I am scheming and have a lot of eyes."

Hearing this, Jiang Li's expression was dazed, and he just wanted to refute him, but before he could speak, Lin Luo changed his words and said: "Bold and straightforward, but without losing the city." ”

The unspoken words were swallowed back by Jiang Li, and the same meaning was much better to say in a different way, besides, Taizu seemed to be such a person.

It's a long time apart, and in the era she lives in, the Great Qi Dynasty has gone through a hundred years of ups and downs, and it has been more than 80 years since Taizu's death.

You can only peek into Taizu's character through the history books, and look at the physiognomy through the portrait of Nagong in the palace.

This portrait Lin Luo has also seen many times, the surname Jiang is after Emperor Yan Shennong, so the Great Qi Cheng Huode, advocating the color of Chixuan, the Emperor Taizu in the portrait is wearing a red dragon robe.

As for his appearance, Fang Yi has a broad face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a thick and dense beard, and a burly and strong figure, he feels that he is going to break the dragon robe, and he looks more like Li Kui than Lu Zhishen.

Sometimes it's really hard to say the heritability of genes, that Taizu looks like a bandit, but after four or five generations, the offspring born has completely changed, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips, and the combination is indescribably good-looking.

Jiang Li saw that he had been staring at him, his eyes were straight and there was a different kind of light flashing in his eyes, he only felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help frowning: "What are you staring at me again?" ”

"Just take a look. Let's continue to teach you a lesson.,Just talked about the character design and plot, right? ”

Lin Luo casually prevaricated with words, looked away, paused and said: "Since you want to follow the history books, Taizu is straightforward and heroic, and he does not lose the city, this is his character, or personality."

Then when you write a book, you must not deviate from this character, such as what choice he makes when he encounters something, or what he says, it must be in line with his character, otherwise the character will collapse, understand? ”

"Hmm."

“.”

“.”

The atmosphere was suddenly quiet.

Jiang Li waited for a while, and then said, "And then?" ”

"Don't worry, let me think." Lin Luo looked up at the ceiling, and couldn't think of anything to say for a while, what she said was enough for her to digest for a while.

"That's pretty much it, you digest it. Oh, and there's another one, try to be as plain as you can when you write it again this time. Of course, you can show off your writing appropriately, but don't be too cruel. Classical Chinese, don't write this kind of prose, do you understand the popularity? ”

"If you don't understand, then write it the way you speak, anyway, you usually speak in half-white and ancient, this style is fine, if you can melt some stalks into it, it will be better, you can increase the reader's reading interest."

"Melt the terrier? How to melt? ”

"Usually when I open my mouth to scare me, I won't come when it's my turn to write a book?"

"I scold you, it's because you are annoying, so I can always meet the time when I can scold you, do I also want to write a character like you in the book?"

Lin Luo opened his mouth, "It's okay." ”

"And your name for this character?"

"Hey, you're offended."

“.” Jiang Li didn t take this stubble, she had already decided to arrange a role for Xiao Linzi when the time came, how miserable and how to come, and then

She thought for a moment and tried to ask, "Then I wrote the beginning this time, using what you said last night?" ”

"Yes, but if you really want to melt the meme, I suggest you add a setting."

"What's the setting?"

"Crossing."

"Crossing?"

"Yes, otherwise, if all of them are indigenous, wouldn't it be very incompatible to have some modern social stalks?"

Jiang Li thought about it and bowed his head gently, and he really felt very inconsistent, not compatible.

Seeing her nodding, Lin Luo said, "So you can set Taizu as a traverser."

"Set Taizu?"

Seeing that she was actually stunned, Lin Luo couldn't help but be stunned, and then frowned: "Then who do you want to set?" ”

“.” Jiang Xingxing said that I want to set you up, so I wrote that you traveled to the time when Taizu started a business, followed Taizu to establish a foundation, and after the establishment of the dynasty, he invited himself into the palace to become a eunuch and accompany Taizu around.

For some reason, Lin Luo always felt that she was thinking of something very offensive, stared at the emperor for a while, and then he spoke: "It doesn't matter who you want to set, anyway, the time-traveler you set must be the protagonist, so that readers will have a sense of substitution, and modern people have won the world by looking forward to history." Otherwise, it's better not to set it. ”

"Then it's not set."

"Okay, it's just a good time for you to figure out how to melt the stalks."

Lin Luo didn't force it, and he could guess her psychology: My Taizu Emperor Gao's Shenwen Shengwu, who is virtuous and covers the world, sweeps away Liuhe, and sweeps the Eight Desolations, isn't it the will of heaven?

Speaking of human words, it is that my Great Qi Taizu can win the world, it is the destiny of heaven, and the ability he possesses, but it does not rely on the forward-looking nature of what he has crossed.

"Also, if you use the beginning I said last night, then I suggest you read a book, Water Margin, and the beginning I mentioned is based on some of the passages in it.

In fact, it's not just this, such as Dream of Red Mansions, Journey to the West, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, you should take a look, these are from the Ming and Qing dynasties, you can't imitate the modern style and description, it's better to imitate these books, the writing of those books has a certain audience at least in modern times. ”

Jiang Li nodded when she heard this, she had heard of these books, which were said to be the four famous books, but she had never had time to read them.

"In the past two days, you should stop writing, let your fingers slow down, and then read and accumulate some experience, and if you want to write, you will start writing when the handwriting board arrives."

"Okay."

Jiang Liying sighed and picked up his mobile phone, "You can also read those books on your mobile phone?" ”

"You can find it on the Internet. But before you read the book, should you say something? ”

"Say what?"

"I've taught you for so long, shouldn't you say thank you, Master? Even if you don't say thank you, just call Master? ”

Jiang Li's eyes wandered, stared at him for a moment, and asked, "What if I don't call it?" ”

"If you don't call it, then Master may not be able to teach you again in the future."

"If you don't teach, you don't teach." Jiang Li lowered his head, swiped his mobile phone with his hand, and searched for the Water Margin in Baidu, "Yu Yiyi I have already understood, besides, your Xiaolinzi has been hollowed out by me, and there is nothing to teach me." ”

Lin Luo said with a sad expression: "Yes, I have been hollowed out by you." ”

"Oh, I know you're just that. What are you doing with your loins? ”

"It's nothing, it's just that my waist is a little sore."

“？”
