back to being a teacher

Chapter 93 What is a broken chapter?
Mo Die's joining did not cause much shock to the sophomore (6) class.

For a newly combined class, the increase or decrease in personnel will not have much impact.

It's just that Li Guangguang and Lin Baiyun both seemed to have found their own things to do.

Lin Baiyun's videos are becoming more and more popular on the Internet. Although they are short, they are powerful.

I received a lot of rewards every day, and my income became more and more.

As for Li Guangguang...

"Do you know the three elements of a novel?"

In the office, Fang Bai asked seriously.

Li Shiguang nodded affirmatively: "Characters, plot, environment!"

Fang Bai touched his chin and asked, "Then tell me about the functions of these three elements!"

Li Guangguang was silent for a while and then said: "Characters, main characters and background characters. The requirement for the main characters is that they must have their own personality and cannot be made up of faces!"

"Background characters..."

"The essence of the plot is contradiction, the conflict between characters, the conflict between characters and events, the conflict between characters and..."

"The last point is the environment, the environment in which the character grows up, thereby setting the character's personality..."

Li Guangguang explained all three points in a decent manner.

Fang Bai asked. "What do you think is the most important of these three elements?"

"Characters, I think a character is the soul of a novel, just like Niu San and Ma Wu in "Bullfighting Continent"..."

"Teacher, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", because of these tasks, the novel is interesting!"

Li Shiguang briefly expressed his views on the novel.

"If I tell you that this point of view is wrong, do you think the teacher is talking nonsense?"

Fang Bai looked at Li Guangguang and asked with a smile.

"Forehead……"

Li Guangguang was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

He doesn't like to refute others, he likes to think about what others say.

"Teacher, is there something wrong with the three elements of the novel I mentioned?"

Li Guangguang thought for a while and asked.

Now it was Fang Bai's turn to be surprised.

This little guy's thinking... is quite sensitive!

"Why do you ask that?"

Fang Bai looked at him curiously.

"Because of your micro-movements, teacher..." Li Shiguang looked at Fang Bai calmly, and then said, "Teacher, you may not notice it. Everyone has small subconscious movements, and teacher, your micro-movement is to touch your chin! "

"And when I told you the three elements of the plot, teacher, you touched your chin. This small action showed your mental activity at the time... So I concluded that there should be something wrong with the three elements of the novel I mentioned."

"can!"

Fang Bai nodded with emotion. He didn't expect Li Guangguang's observation to be so subtle.

"Please also ask the teacher to tell me the three elements of a novel..."

Li Guangguang bowed to Fang Bai and asked sincerely.

Only now did Fang Bai understand why the old masters were so happy to receive a satisfactory apprentice, because the behavior of such an apprentice would make you very comfortable.

Especially if someone like Li Shiguang keeps his attitude very low, you will feel that such a student is very good and worth teaching!
"Um……"

Fang Bai nodded, and then said: "The three elements of a novel are characters, plot, and environment!"

"These three points are correct. These are the three elements of traditional novels. It can be said that today's novels are still centered on these three points!"

"But with the development of the times, people are no longer satisfied with the sense of reading traditional novels, because... the pace of traditional novels is too slow!"

Fang Bai paused and gave a new keyword.

"Rhythm?"

Li Shiguang murmured.

"That's right!"

Fang Bai nodded and continued: "The hidden factor in the new novel is rhythm!"

"For example, a traditional novel lays the foundation at the beginning, the protagonist takes revenge, and then the whole novel is about the protagonist practicing continuously, becoming stronger, and finally killing the enemy in one fell swoop!" "Is the pace slow?"

"Of course it is slow, and if your writing and plot are not up to standard, readers will feel that you are dragging your feet even more, and thus lose the passion to continue following your novel."

"The reason why the pace of novels in the past could be slow was because the number of words was only hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of words, but now novels have millions of words. If your pace is very slow, readers will find your novel boring. …”

Fang Bai's words reminded Li Shiguang of a parody novel he wrote when he was in junior high school. He didn't know what he was writing, he didn't have a theme, and he couldn't grasp the rhythm. He even wrote nearly More than 100 million words, divided into four parts...

The problem is, skipping the first and second parts and watching the third part will not affect the perception.

"Teacher, what should we do if such a problem occurs?"

Li Shiguang asked urgently.

"suspense!"

Fang Bai proposed a word again.

"suspense?"

Li Guangguang muttered, and then he immediately took out a pen and paper and started recording.

"You should know what happened after the funeral. Please listen to the explanation next time!"

Fang Bai knocked on the table and then said with a smile: "For traditional chapter novels, there are words like this at the end of each chapter. In other words, if you want readers to be interested in reading, you have to learn to break chapters! "

"Broken chapter?!"

Li Guangguang frowned again, what is this?
"Let's talk about the suspense first. Niu San in "Bullfighting Continent" committed suicide by jumping off a cliff because he secretly learned the secrets of the Tang clan. The first few chapters revealed a very important suspense!"

"That's the hidden weapon. Especially the author has set up a so-called hidden weapon ranking to make readers look forward to the content that follows. What are they looking forward to? Just looking forward to the collision between hidden weapons and strong bullfighters!"

"The best work that uses suspense is the island country's "Detective Conan"!"

"You will find that every episode of him has this routine, suspense, anticipation, foreshadowing when looking for clues, background music when solving the case at the end, and then let the protagonist pretend to be forceful, and finally reach the climax of the plot, forming a cool point !”

"This is the use of suspense!"

After listening to Teacher Fang's explanation, Li Shiguang seemed to understand something, and gained some experience in writing novels...

"Teacher, what is a broken chapter?"

Li Guangguang asked, writing as he asked.

"Hmph, this is a skill that all novel writers must learn. As the saying goes, one day with a knife in hand, I can kill everyone in the world..."

Fang Bai said this sentence that is very popular on the Internet.

"What does it mean to break a chapter!"

"Do you watch TV?"

Fang Bai asked a seemingly irrelevant question.

"Well, I watched it when I was a kid, but now, I don't have time to watch it!"

Li Guangguang nodded.

"Look at the toilet seat?"

Fang Bai asked again.

"I've seen it...but...there are too many advertisements for toilet seats!"

Li Guangguang complained.

"Yes! After the theme song ended, I watched an advertisement, half of it, another advertisement, another half, and another advertisement. The teacher remembered that when I watched "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" before, the finale was obviously only 10 minutes long, and I watched it for nearly eight consecutive An advertisement!" Fang Bai couldn't complain about the advertisement on the toilet seat.

The most shocking thing is that the advertising on the toilet seat is simply inhumane.

Preview, commercial, theme song, commercial, feature film, commercial, feature film, commercial, ending song, commercial, next episode trailer...

In other words, the toilet seat’s use of advertising is truly outrageous!
"But this is worth learning!"

Fang Bai sneered.

"what?"

Li Shiguang was a little confused.

　It’s probably going to be on the shelves soon…

　　Because it’s almost a hundred chapters.

　　I don't know when it will be available.

　　Well, try to be as late as possible!
