Back to modern times, Her Majesty the Queen and I are both laid off

Chapter 103 My waist is just a little sore
However, in just one night, Her Majesty the Queen's understanding of novels has gone from being able to read novels to teaching me to write novels. The change is not small.

Lin Dishi’s small book writing class was also successfully launched, “Generally speaking, when writing a novel, you must first write an outline, and use the outline to clarify the development of a story.

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

To put it bluntly, it is to set the goal first, then prioritize and write the process of the protagonist achieving the goal, and finally the goal is achieved. This is a stage and a branch line.

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 naturally. "

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

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

Lin Luo tried to guide her, "Your protagonist is Taizu. I just said that we should set up stages and branch lines for the story. What do you think the goal of Taizu should be for the initial branch line?"

".Expelling the barbarians and clarifying the world?"

"Your goal is too ambitious. This is the main line of the story. You have to set a small goal at the beginning. Do you remember the beginning I talked about last night? Do you think about it?"

".The bandit one?"

Lin Luo nodded, "Yes, if you write this paragraph as the beginning of your writing, what do you think was Emperor Taizu's goal at the beginning?"

Become the leader of bandits.
The answer popped up in Jiang Li's mind, but in the current atmosphere, she seemed to be back to the age of seven or eight, when she had just left the government to study.

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

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

".Yes."

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

Jiang Li felt that his brain was even duller, and he thought to himself, "Can you give me the answer directly? Don't ask questions all the time. When I ask questions, I feel like a wooden head."
Did this guy do it on purpose, trying to use this to hurt me?
She frowned and was silent for a long time, but finally decided to ask: "How to write?"

"Have no idea?"

"Um"

"What I just taught is to set a goal, then set the plot around this goal, and finally complete the goal. This is the most basic writing routine."

Lin Luo thought for a while and said: "For example, you want to promote some policies. This is your goal. After you put it forward, some ministers in the court objected and stood up to fight against you. At this time, it was a deadlock and the decree was basically It cannot be implemented.”

"But you must implement it. You used some means to win over or suppress it, to give benefits or to compromise. In the end, the decree was finally implemented and your goal was achieved."

After listening to Lin Luo's analogy, Jiang Li's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise. It turns out that this is the so-called routine for writing books, and writing books is not difficult.
"In this analogy I made, what do you think is the plot you want to set up?"

"."

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

Lin Luo couldn't figure out how the good Duan Duan became so stupid, so he could only say: "I just said, the implementation of your policy is your goal, and the success of your implementation is the completion of your goal.

Then the minister's opposition led to a deadlock, and you used means. This series of processes, in the novel, is the plot you set up around the goal, right? "

"..Yes."

"So when you write, you have to write about how your policy benefits the people all over the world, and how it touches the personal interests of the courtiers. You have to write about the magnitude of their opposition, and write about your helplessness and anger at the time. .

Then write down your reaction at that time. With your temperament, you must be angry but not show it. You just calmly announce that you will go to court. The follow-up is the means you used, which means you used, how you used them, and after you used them, What are the reactions of those ministers, and then use pen and ink to explain why it has this effect.

In this way, you have conflicts and ups and downs in this plot, and you also use the plot to shape the character. "

At this point, Lin Luo's voice gradually slowed down, and finally he stared at her and asked: "So, what do you need to think about when writing these plots?"

".Can you just say it and stop asking?" Jiang Li couldn't stand it anymore. He just lectured, but this guy always asked. I'm not a roundworm in your belly. How do you know what you want me to do? What to think about.

"I am guiding you to let you think and understand on your own, so that you can learn solidly."

"But your question makes my head hurt and my brain is numb." Jiang Li's frowned brows were full of distress, and the eyes looking at him also contained a bit of anger.

Looking at her appearance, Lin Luo always felt that she was a bit coquettish, so he stretched out his hand and put it on her head, "You have a headache, right? Come, Master, rub it for you."

"Pa!" Jiang Li reached out and patted his dog's paw aside, glared at him, and the dog touched my head again!
The two looked at each other for a while, and Lin Luo turned his eyes away with a nonchalant look, "What did you just say, what do you need to think about in the process of writing the plot?"

"Don't ask, just tell me!" Jiang Li's voice rose an octave. This guy was really annoying. He knew I couldn't answer, but he still had to ask.

"How come you, a disciple, are more angry than the master? Which of us is the disciple? 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 me as a master? If that's what you want, then I can't teach you anymore."

"If you don't teach me, I'll do it." Halfway through his words, Jiang Li swallowed it back and stared at him angrily, "I'll let you touch my hand."

"Okay, then let me touch it again."

Lin Luo grabbed his little hand and touched it twice before Jiang Li pulled it out and glared at him again.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Lin Luo looked away again, still acting as if nothing had happened, "Let's continue talking about the plot. When conceiving the plot, what you have to think about is not only how to write the plot brilliantly. , there are conflicts, ups and downs, and suspense. In addition to these, there is also a very important premise - rationality must be guaranteed, at least a certain degree of rationality."

"What is reasonable"

Lin Luo subconsciously wanted to ask a question again, but as soon as the words came out, he turned around and said: "For example, if you implement a policy and the ministers don't agree, you start to use means to make the ministers compromise. And you make this method must be clever. In this way Come, combined with the effect achieved, or purpose, it will make readers feel very reasonable.

But if you make the means weak but achieve the goal, no matter how good the conflict you create or how brilliant the description is.Readers will also find it far-fetched, think your plot is too intellectual, and will criticize you in the book review section, or even abandon the book. Do you understand? "

"can."

Jiang Li responded with a sullen face, feeling that the guy in front of him had become much more pleasing to the eye. I wish he had been like this earlier. It was really annoying to have to ask.

"It's good if you can understand it, but in addition to the rationality of the plot, you also have to consider the rationality of the plot and the characters. That is to say, the protagonist or supporting characters you write have their own characters. Who is your protagonist? "

"Emperor Taizu Gao."

"Yes, Emperor Taizu Gao, then 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 was generous, benevolent, and magnanimous. He was also heroic, forthright and forthright. He also listened carefully when dealing with things, and did not lose his tact and prudence."

"Then according to the history books, it looks like he has a bold personality and seems to have no scheming, but in fact he has a deep scheming mind and a lot of scheming."

Hearing this, Jiang Li's expression froze, and he was about to refute him, but before he could speak, Lin Luo changed his explanation and said, "He is bold and straightforward, but without losing his dignity."

The unspoken words were swallowed back by Jiang Li. The same idea sounded much better if he changed his words. Moreover, Taizu seemed to be such a person.It was a long time ago. In her era, the Qi Dynasty had gone through a hundred years of ups and downs, and it had been more than 80 years since the death of Taizu.

We can only get a glimpse of Taizu's character through history books, and see his appearance through Nagong's portrait in the dining hall.

Lin Luo had seen this portrait many times. Jiang's surname was after Emperor Yan Shennong, so the Qi Dynasty inherited the virtue of fire and advocated the color of red and black. The Emperor Taizu in the portrait was wearing a red Gonglong robe.

As for his appearance, Fang Yi has a broad face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a thick beard, and a tall and strong figure. It feels like the dragon robe will burst. He looks more like Li Kui than Lu Zhishen.

Sometimes it’s really hard to tell the heredity of genes. That Taizu looked like a bandit, but after four or five generations, the offspring he gave birth to were completely different, with delicate eyebrows, a straight nose, and thin lips. The combination is indescribably beautiful.

Jiang Li saw that he kept staring at him, his gaze was straight, and there was a different kind of light flashing in his eyes. He felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but frown and said, "Are you staring at me too much?"

"Just take a look. Let's continue to teach you. We just talked about the characters and plot, right?"

Lin Luo casually used words to prevaricate, looked away, paused and said again: "Since we have to go by the history books, Taizu was straightforward and bold, without losing the city. This is his character, or persona.

Then when you write a book, you must not deviate from this character. For example, the choices he makes when encountering things, or the words he says must be in line with his character, otherwise the character will collapse. Do you understand? "

"Ah."

"."

"."

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Li waited for a while and then said, "What next?"

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

"That's about it, you can digest it. Oh, there is one more thing. When you write again this time, try to be more popular. Of course, you can show off your writing skills appropriately, but don't do it too brutally. Classical Chinese, parallel prose, etc. Don’t write it down, make it more popular, you know?”

"If you don't understand, then write it the way you speak. Anyway, you usually speak in a vague way. This style is fine. It would be better if you can incorporate some jokes into it, which can increase readers' reading. interest."

"Rong Ge? How to melt?"

"You usually open your mouth when you use jokes to criticize me, but you can't when it's my turn to write a book?"

"When I criticize you, you are annoying, so I always have the opportunity to criticize you. Do I want to write a character like you in the book?"

Lin Luo opened his mouth and said, "That's okay."

"Then this character uses your name?"

"Hey, you're a little offended."

"." Jiang Li didn't take the challenge. She had already decided to assign a role to Xiao Linzi. No matter how miserable it was, she would then
She thought for a while and tried to ask: "Then the beginning of my writing this time will be the same as what you said last night?"

"Okay, but if you really want to blend in with the memes, I suggest you add a setting."

"What setting?"

"Crossing."

"Crossing?"

"Yes, otherwise if they were all aboriginals, wouldn't it be very inconsistent if there were some jokes about modern society?"

Jiang Li thought about it and nodded slightly. It really felt very inconsistent and inconsistent.

Seeing her nodding, Lin Luo just said: "So you can set Taizu as a time traveler."

"Set Taizu?"

Seeing her surprised look, Lin Luo couldn't help but be startled, and then frowned: "Then who do you want to set?"

"." Jiang Lixin said that I wanted to set you up, so I wrote that you traveled to the time when Taizu started his business, followed Taizu to establish the foundation, and after the founding of the country, he invited himself into the palace and became a eunuch to accompany Taizu. .

For some reason, Lin Luo always felt that she was thinking of something very offensive. After staring at the emperor for a while, he said: "It doesn't matter who you want to set, anyway, the time traveler you set must be the protagonist. In this way Readers will have a sense of involvement. Modern people have conquered the world by relying on their foresight of history. Otherwise, it would be better not to set it at all."

"Then it won't be set."

"Okay, it just saves you time to figure out how to blend in."

Lin Luo didn't force it, and he could guess what she was thinking: My great ancestor, Emperor Gao, was a man of divine literature and martial arts, whose virtues spread all over the world, swept the world, and swept across all wastes. Isn't it the will of heaven and man?
In human terms, I, Taizu of Great Qi, was able to conquer the world because of my destiny and my own abilities, not because of my foresight through time travel.

"Also, if you use the opening I mentioned last night, then I suggest you read a book - Water Margin. The opening I mentioned is based on some passages in it.

In fact, it’s not just this. You should read them all, such as Dream of Red Mansions, Journey to the West, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms. These are novels from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. You can’t imitate the style and description of modern novels, so you might as well imitate these books and those books. At least in modern times, his writing style has a certain audience. "

Jiang Li nodded when he heard the words. She had heard of these books. They were said to be some of the four great classics, but she never had time to read them.

"You should stop writing for the next two days, let your fingers relax, and then read and accumulate some experience. If you want to write, wait until the writing tablet arrives before you start writing."

"it is good."

Jiang Li responded and picked up his phone, "Can you read those books you mentioned on your phone?"

"You can find it by searching on the Internet. But before you read the book, shouldn't you say something?"

"say what?"

"I've been teaching you for so long, shouldn't you say thank you, master? Even if you don't say thank you, just call me master?"

Jiang Li's eyes flickered, he stared at him for a moment, and asked, "What if I don't scream?"

"If you don't scream, then Master may not be able to teach you anymore."

"If you don't teach, don't teach." Jiang Li lowered his head, pulled his phone with his hand, and searched for Water Margin on Baidu, "I have already understood something about the novel, and besides, I have hollowed out your little forest. You have nothing more to teach me."

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

"Oh, I know you are just like that. Why are you holding your waist?"

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

"?"
