Chapter 144 The protagonist and supporting characters are about to collide! (Please subscribe!)

Dong Gen felt like he had a headache, but his headache was not actually caused by organic symptoms or neurological causes inside his skull.

At this moment, he was sitting on the soft leather sofa, wearing glasses, picking up his mobile phone, and carefully staring at the message content on his mobile phone.

Next to him, Dong Gen's wife, Wang Yunxiang, was packing the fruit plate and said angrily: "You didn't go into the study today, and you didn't know how to help me."

"You're not really going to engage in online dating at dusk as reported on the Internet, are you?" Wang Yunxiang jokingly talked to Dong Gen. She stood up and hit Dong Gen's feet with a broom.

"Let's be honest, I don't know what I will read with my mobile phone and books all day long."

Dong Gen is a professor at the School of Liberal Arts at Shonan University. He specializes in Chinese language and literature. He is also a doctoral tutor. He is quite well-known. He is in his fifties and nearly sixty years old this year.

Wang Yunxiang is also a retired accountant from the Finance Department of Xiangnan University. She originally continued to work in a company after retirement, but after her daughter got married, she resigned to prepare for raising her grandson.

After marrying off his daughter last year, the family was much cleaner, but Wang Yunxiang felt that there was nothing to do. She had not yet looked forward to her grandson, so wouldn't she just be looking for trouble?

Dong Gen raised his glasses at this moment and said to Wang Yunxiang: "What are you talking about? I am just reading the information, what about online dating."

"Come on, come on, look, let me show you."

"Just give me your reply."

Dong Gen simply handed the smartphone to his wife Wang Yunxiang.

Wang Yunxiang put the broom aside at this moment, put her hands on her hips and said, "These are not the poems in your cabinet. I can't understand them, right?"

Then he flipped through Dong Gen's read messages and replies from top to bottom.

"Hello, Professor Dong, I am an eighth-year student at the Affiliated Hospital of Xiangnan University. My name is Yang Yifeng, and my student number is: 13821xxxxxx!"

First, simply self-report your identity and prove that you are a student. The beginning of 13 proves that you are a student enrolled in Grade 13.

Wang Yunxiang was not worried that her husband would cheat on her, but she couldn't stand that he never had time to spend with her and was usually taciturn, so she just lived with the study room.

"I recently read Professor Dong's monograph on the current situation and understanding of the development of online novels, and I benefited a lot. In fact, I am also a practitioner of writing online novels, but I have been having a lot of troubles recently, so I wanted to pay you a visit. You see

Is it convenient for you?"

When Wang Yunxiang saw this, she deliberately said to Dong Gen: "My child is coming to visit me. I haven't seen anyone come these days?"

"Is this Yang Yifeng still a girl? Did you secretly meet him outside?" She asked this question, but it was intentional, hoping that Dong Gen could talk to her more.

Dong Gen's face twitched: "Ouch! You are good at reading it. Can you read it from beginning to end?"

"Is this kid a student of our College of Liberal Arts? He is from the medical school, but he is also a doctor from the Shonan University Affiliated Hospital. What does he want to do?"

"He said he wanted to drop out of school and change his career to become an online writer! Write online novels."

"If a good doctor doesn't insist on such a great profession, he will just do these things."

Speaking of this, Dong Gen said again: "And I also checked out this classmate Yang Yifeng. Oh no, I should say Dr. Yang Yifeng, he is quite outstanding. According to our literary circles, with his current talent

At the age of twenty-three, I have already published two sci-fi documents, and it seems that the impact factor is not low."

"Professionally, he can now perform surgeries that even professors cannot perform."

"This is not just a talent in the medical field, it is called a genius."

"Then can I just recruit him into my family? If this unlucky kid drops out of school and someone blames me for deceiving him, then how can I reason?"

Wang Yunxiang felt that Dong Gen was right. She just wanted to chat with Dong Gen, but she didn't really want to read the information. She immediately nodded: "He wants to drop out of school to write online novels. He shouldn't bring that to his home. It's not good.

"

Then I scrolled from top to bottom without paying much attention to the main content.

Then he tilted his head and asked, "Then you have a chat with this kid and try to persuade him."

"It's quite remarkable to be able to perform surgeries that even professors can't do at the age of twenty-three. Even if it's an exaggeration, he must be a very capable person. If you can help, help him take a good path.

.”

Wang Yunxiang still feels that Yang Yifeng is a pity. Since he is so good, he should continue on his path.

Dong Gen sighed, shook his head and said, "You persuaded me, why didn't I persuade you?"

"But it's too late. It's probably hard to persuade him to come back."

"Why?" Wang Yunxiang didn't read the message at all. She caught Dong Gen anyway and asked, and even took the initiative to bring Dong Gen a cup of tea.

According to her understanding, if she could help Yang Yifeng take the right path, it would be a meritorious deed.

Dong Gen said: "I read the novel written by this young man. From the perspective of commercial novels, his writing is good. He has achieved certain results, so I said it is too late."

Wang Yunxiang still didn't understand, so she just said: "Have you not studied Internet literature for a while? Tell him the pros and cons, otherwise what are you doing?"

Dong Gen only replied: "What I did was research, and it was done for some people to see."

"This kid's current monthly salary of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan is not more cost-effective than being a doctor? If he is based on his current monthly salary, even if there is no higher income later, at this rate, he can pay for the down payment of a house in one year."

"How do you persuade me?"

Wang Yunxiang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is it so profitable to write novels? It is higher than the salary of a real professor like you, so can I write it?"

Wang Yunxiang is an accountant and is quite sensitive to money and numbers.

So the conversation changed and went to another place.

Dong Gen rolled his eyes for a moment and said: "You are a human being who can write. If you can type, you can write. But it is estimated that no one will read what you have written. Do you know what the structure and core of the novel are?

?”

Wang Yunxiang said: "You know, isn't this what you study? Go ahead and write it." Wang Yunxiang winked at Dong Gen.

Dong Gen looked quite embarrassed. Although he was a professor at the School of Liberal Arts and studied Chinese language and literature, he studied orthodox literature. He had read online novels and knew they were very profitable.

But to be honest, it would be easy for him to write it. After all, ten years ago, he also established more than a dozen small accounts with great enthusiasm. He was so popular that he didn’t even recognize his mother. Readers don’t buy you.

What is the account of a literature professor?

Dong Gen said with a straight face: "Why should I write this? I don't know how."

"What on earth are you asking? Isn't the key to our discussion that Yang Yifeng? Why do you still involve me?"

Dong Gen then brought the topic back: "The dilemma for me now is how to persuade him to return to the right path. With his ability, making money should not be a simple consideration for him. His talent should be

Contribute to the development of the discipline and devote yourself to the development of the discipline."

"This is a big problem for me." Dong Gen touched his hair, feeling a little troubled.

If Yang Yifeng had just entered the industry, then he might have persuaded Yang Yifeng to go back.

But Yang Yifeng has already entered the industry to a certain extent, and now he has even tasted the benefits. In this era, with money, who among the young people would be willing to do something as serious as a doctor?

You can make money just by staying at home, and you don’t have to worry about food and drink.

But if he were an ordinary person, Dong Gen would really like to share with him his research and understanding of online novels. There is a difference between having research and being able to write.

But Dong Gen felt that he could not help the tyrants do evil. If he figured out Yang Yifeng's problem, he would never return.

"Then what question did he ask you?" Wang Yunxiang asked.

"well."

"This kid, he said, the novel he is writing now is about a doctor. The protagonist in the story is based on himself, but when he portrayed the supporting characters, there seemed to be a deviation. One of the supporting characters was more powerful than the protagonist.

, readers strongly suggested that he change the protagonist."

"Online novels mainly focus on the sense of substitution and impact, that is, the identity of the protagonist that readers want to introduce must be powerful enough, preferably better than others, and the stronger the contrast, the better."

Speaking of this, Dong Gen sighed and said: "Actually, there are many novels in which the supporting characters are better than the protagonists. Just like Mr. Jin Yong's "The Heaven and the Dragon Sword", there are too many examples in which the supporting characters are better than the protagonists."

"But that's all traditional novel literature, and today's readers don't buy it anymore."

The development of novels must be adjusted to varying degrees according to their form and audience. They cannot be the same. Readers will buy in as they were written in the past and how they are written now.

The things here are quite profound. Wang Yunxiang does not understand literature and has never read novels.

Just asked Dong Gen: "Then what do you think should be done now? You can teach him a lesson."

"Don't you know how?" Wang Yunxiang laughed. He just wanted to use this topic to talk to Dong Gen. Otherwise, Dong Gen usually spends his time with books or various classic literature.

.

It's not that this is bad, but Wang Yunxiang feels that now that the old Dong is old, it's time to enjoy life.

He is a scholar and there is nothing wrong with reading books.

"How could I not? I don't want to tell him, for fear that he will go astray even more."

"The writing process of novels, especially online novels, also requires some complex skills and techniques."

"For example, the reason why readers think that the supporting characters are more powerful than the protagonists is that they are either overly portrayed and have more words than the protagonists, which is a bit overwhelming."

"Either the depiction was too vague, and maybe he himself didn't understand the positioning and authenticity of the supporting character prototype, which led to the sudden appearance of this factor and disrupted the original rhythm of the novel world."

"Maybe you don't quite understand what I said. If the original world of the novel is compared to a river, then the characters and plot are branches of the river, called streams."

"All kinds of small streams merge together to form a river. But if one of the streams you originally arranged suddenly becomes a river and sea, it will collapse into a mess, leaving readers confused and unclear."

"Of course, writing novels is not so exaggerated and objective, it requires more detailed processing."

"It's like pulling out one or two points, and then comparing and interacting with the characters in the novel in detail. In this way, the relationship between the two will be well handled. The protagonist is still the protagonist, and the supporting role is still a supporting role.
