Hundreds of thousands of brocade clothes travel at night as if it were daytime

Usually 50,000 or 100,000 words is regarded as a small mileage of a work, which basically sets the basic setting and style of the book. I will use this extension of ideas to analyze some of the author's "designs" for Jin Yi.
I don’t have much time to read the article, so please forgive me if there is any overlap with other book friends’ comments.
From personal analysis, we can usually see nine major elements in a work: three major, two deep, and one shallow. The so-called three major elements are surprising (unexpected), wonderful (fascinating), and exciting (gripping); the second deep, emotional (touching), and interesting
(thought-provoking); shallow and interesting (funny).
Modern dramas generally use the "three elements" as much as possible at the beginning to attract attention. In the case of "Bu Bu Sheng Lian", they use "wonderful" as much as possible and add some "affectionate" - like this
The structure cannot be said to be bad, but using the familiar writing style of the old writer, it still inevitably suffers from some surprises.
The beginning of "Jin Yi Night Walk" clearly shows the author's ingenuity. When everyone thinks that Yang Xu is a time traveler, he dies and wonders if he faked his death? He is really dead! At this time, the protagonist is slowly being killed in Jin Yiwei.
Appearing in the eyes of the crowd--especially at the beginning, the success routines of ordinary time-travelers are deliberately used to create tension, which has a more targeted effect on Internet readers.
All authors carefully design the beginning, but most of it is in the creation of the story itself. Only a good author can start the design from the reader's end, and even if the average author knows the method, he may not be able to write it well, and even if he can write it, he may not be able to write it well.
, this is the gap - different approaches from the past will definitely lead to different evaluations from all parties, but it is undeniable that this topic has successfully stimulated the desire to read at the same time.
Personally, I think that although famous writers have a high starting point, they also have a relatively heavy burden. Those who can get rid of the burden and create greater creations are worthy of admiration. If they do well, they are even more talented.
---I feel that although the beginning of Jinyi cannot be said to be "new", it has enough "changes" to make it better than its predecessor.
Although Step by Step Lotus also has good results, it is still generally based on the existing style. The same stimulation module will inevitably face the problem of diminishing marginal benefits. Therefore, I personally think that in terms of timing, Jinyi should be the best.
This is a turning point in Brother Yueguan's positioning, and so far it seems that it is performing better than I imagined.
Furthermore, the design of tension pays more attention to scalability than the previous work. Yang Xu’s false identity inherently forces him to do more to conceal his identity, and when these actions appear, they will also force him into more situations.
The whole vortex is in the main axis under the title of the book. The style of the entire work has gradually become clear at the same time, which inevitably saves a lot of elaborating words. Although the readers cannot see it, it is the author's intention.
The oppressive power of the villain has also been improved through writing. For example, Zhang Shisan used a comparable number of words such as the death of Tingxiang and the cruelty of the executioner. Most of the previous works have depicted the flesh and blood of the intermediate leader Yanjiu, but he turned back.
Just let the protagonist ruthlessly design to get the lunch. It can be seen that this work is much more ambitious in terms of water depth than the previous work, and the power of establishing the style of the work is also more profound. Of course, after this, the enemies will need to be more numerous and diverse.
To suppress the protagonist with his brilliant performance, since Brother Yueguan is so effective here, I think we can have more expectations. Personally, I think the weak point of the whole book "Bu Bu Sheng Lian" is that the creation of each villain is vivid enough but slightly oppressive.
No, from the beginning of the new work it seems that the author is quite prepared for this.
In addition, Xiao Di is a very successful character... In fact, I originally thought that she would be "annihilated" by Zhang Shisan when she was almost successful but not yet successful - to deepen the darkness of the work. To make a more significant difference from the previous work (this is the wrong expectation caused by reading the full text without reading the chapter names). This will of course cause an earthquake in the book review area, but the pressure on the protagonist will really rise to a high point; in Huang In Yi's popular work Searching for Qin, this role is played by a young beauty named Shu Er. Xiang Shaolong (and the reader), who originally had a smooth journey, now understands the cruelty of reality in the blood and corpses. The overall work Style and depth also set the tone here (or about the same in terms of word count).
However, Xiao Di will obviously not become such a character, because her subsequent scenes have been greatly outstanding. With the death of Zhang Shisan, the last reasonable reason to end her life has disappeared. She is destined to become a shining star under the author's excellent writing. female character (one).
Of course, since she won't have problems, there will always be someone (or something) who will. After all, the weight of Tingxiang's death is not enough to support the dark depth of this book from any angle. As for who (or what) it will be. )? My personal guess is that it has not appeared yet, but it should not be too long. After all, the setting of the style will appear early, and the baggage will become heavy after a long time. And with the author's plot design ability, it does not need to be too long. The foreshadowing of many chapters.
Of course, the above guesses are all based on the association of the title of the book - Jinyi (Wei) + Night Walk. Both of them are concepts of a darker level. It is significantly different from the pure and positive name of "Bu Bu Sheng Lian" in the previous era of great strife. differences, coupled with the aforementioned timing issues, I feel that this work will be different from the previous work in style and emphasis. In addition to the existing romance and love in bed, there may also be a lot of intrigue and deceit, and bloodshed and choices will be added. There are more conflicting plots. For example, the fiancée (personally I think she was the one who paid to kill Yang Xu, killing a flirtatious fiancé, which is really a good motive for a woman~) was innately designed to be better than Zhe Ziyu and Yang Hao's status distance is more damaging.
Most of the famous historical authors are ruthless, scheming, and deceitful, but the special advantage of Brother Yueguan is that he can be flexible, long, delicate, and coherent. The expression in the form of small and medium-sized popular novels is very interesting and creative, so it does not mean that we must give up. It already has advantages, but how to mix other elements beautifully under the premise of existing advantages... This is my guess about the author's intention.
For a great author like Yueguan, readers' reactions will inevitably affect the direction of creation. I also hope that book friends who have ideas about this will not hesitate to give advice and put forward more ideas, which may be more practical for the author.
In addition to this, there are also some expectations. I don’t know how you feel about them. I would like to mention them and let everyone share their thoughts.
One is about the "giving up" aspect of the female character. The female character can both take and give up. Brother Yuekuan has made great achievements in "taking" in the past, and he may also be able to use the new tonality of his new work to "give up". Make bigger changes in aspects (in fact, we have seen a lot of them in "Bu Bu Sheng Lian", but maybe we can't be too drastic due to tonal issues)... In the past works, when the total number of female characters was large, they inevitably had to compete with each other. Although the interest is always maintained due to the space occupied, the taste gradually becomes thinner after all, which is a pity.
Secondly, in terms of the character of the protagonist, we expect greater tension between strengths and weaknesses. In the previous film, Yang Hao did not have obvious shortcomings in character and ability, but he still suffered a lot, resulting in many plots inevitably falling into basic routines; in addition to Yang Xu,
In terms of ability, he is relatively strong, and in terms of character, more articles can be written because of his background. In addition to his current experience, he can be more cold and cruel. If he is silent in his methods, it will be fatal if he does not respond, or he can be wary in his character.
Suspicion... There are many possibilities for development, which is also worth looking forward to.
The third is to hope to see more sparks of collision between small and medium-sized structures. Although this has been the main line in Hui Ming Dynasty, Yang Ling used high pressure to keep low, and used light to suppress darkness, while Yang Xu probably bucked the trend.
, there are more chances of seeking wealth through risk, and it should also look good!
