Chapter 340: The Black Box Theory of Web Literature Creation
Chapter 340 The Black Box Theory of Internet Article Creation
Clouds flow westward.
As a veteran virtual online game master from Qidian, he is the only existing Wanding author who still insists on this extremely cool category.
He has been in the "Qidian Preparatory Gods Group" for several years.
Just because he writes virtual online games, a category with a very low upper limit, he is always a little behind others.
Many of the big guys in the group left, and they all went to the real big group.
Yunxi Liu became the tombkeeper.
He had no choice but to be convinced that his grades were not as good as others.
In the past few years, he has increasingly felt that the situation of virtual online game novels has become even worse. Even for an experienced author like him, he has written down several books, not even high-quality ones (3,000 each).
You can imagine how difficult it is for other people to write about this subject.
But a book he read recently gave him renewed hope.
"Online Games: Almighty Druid" by Pu Dingli.
Very top notch!
One person said that he thought Pu Dingliao's writing was better than his, more enjoyable and more fresh and logical.
These two are very contradictory things.
Generally, everyone will find a new thing interesting, but there will also be a lot of people using it.
Because there are no corresponding cases in reality, you can make random arguments.
Pu Dingliao has designed a relatively complete set of game logic. If you put aside the bug of the protagonist, the other game design parts are completely self-consistent!
This is scary!
Because if you come into contact with lectures by high-end Internet article authors, they will tell you a theory often used by great masters, called the black box theory.
Even in the plot design, including the design of items, equipment, tasks, etc., sometimes the author does not completely justify himself.
Sometimes the underlying logic is even wrong!
But why do many readers fail to notice it when it is written by a master, or do not pay attention at all?
Because he wrapped the logic loopholes or things he didn't understand in a black box, gave it an appearance and function, and didn't mention the details inside, and then focused on how to use this thing or what this black box can promote.
Such plot development.
The readers' attention is all on the plot behind it, and no one digs into what is inside the black box.
If you really want to dig deeper, you will find that there are huge loopholes.
And some new authors or those who are not skilled in technology will not pay attention to wrapping something that they do not understand or that does not make logical sense in a black box, and put it naked in front of the readers, and then they will be sprayed all over, and appear in a large area.
The phenomenon of abandoned books.
As an old author, Yun Xiliu naturally knows how to create a black box and how to avoid weaknesses.
After all, without someone who knows everything, it is impossible for a novel author to create a perfect world or a perfect game.
They just need to show the most fun and interesting part to the readers. If they really want to dig deeper, there are many other logical loopholes besides the shown part.
The book that Pu Ding wrote does not use a black box!
Yun Xiliu has read so many chapters and has caught up to the latest, but he has not discovered that Pu Ding's creative method uses the black box theory.
His game data, game mechanics and even the game plot are all traceable, and the more you dig into them, the more interesting they become.
As the level increases, epic plots and rich game content are revealed step by step.
Pu Ding seems to have designed a game himself.
After this idea came up, Yun Xiliu felt it was too scary!
As a veteran author of online game articles, he also knows that there is a huge gap between himself and game designers. Others design game mechanics, but his design is more exciting, which is completely different.
And Pu decided to take care of both.
He created a bug in the protagonist within a reasonable game mechanism, giving him an unparalleled advantage in fighting others.
When everyone else is playing normally, some of his advantages are particularly obvious, so the plot is very refreshing.
Let’s just say the part where the protagonist falls off a cliff, gets the loot from two monsters, and then starts archeology.
The protagonist makes reasonable use of his racial and skill advantages to parkour in this high-end area to get loot.
Made a fortune.
The three life skills of gathering herbs, skinning, and archeology that seemed useless in the early stage were brought to the extreme.
Because of the collection of high-end items, the three life skills can be upgraded very quickly!
It’s so wonderful!
As an old online game writer, Yun Xiliu is familiar with this kind of plot, where he accidentally falls off a cliff and then obtains a treasure.
However, Pu Dinglao wrote a logical world view and very reasonable skills. Within these constraints, the protagonist relies on a ring to fight wits and courage with high-level monsters, and is surrounded by dangers and obtains a large amount of loot.
This kind of plot is very natural, and it is completely different from the small dungeon where a place is specially designed for the protagonist to jump down and then come back up after getting the things.
There is even a later plot in it!
The road to the city of Northrend is also here
Even in Pu Ding's brief description and certain plot fragments, he could feel the vastness of the world.
"I understand, so this is the future of online game literature? In order to write a good novel, a game is specially designed. Pu Ding is really an all-rounder!"
He was not familiar with Pu Ding, but he was able to design a game by himself while maintaining a daily output of tens of thousands, and even adding updates occasionally. That was really amazing.
"How can someone be so capable in a day? Mine was a day spent lying in bed, and I almost lost all my attendance."
The gap is too big!
"Wait a minute. If Pu Dingliao really designed a game to write a novel, then this game...his~"
He didn't even dare to think how big Pu Ding's ambition was.
But when he opened Zhongshan Novel today and saw that he had obtained the Wanding badge of "Online Game: Almighty Druid", he understood one thing.
God. It’s God.
No matter which website he is on, he is a god.
If it's well written, it's truly invincible.
Even though it has just been ordered 10,000 times, it has been able to achieve such results in the new software Zhongshan Novel, which has proven the potential of this book.
"The next step is just to give it time."
He has never been so optimistic about an online game novel.
If it weren't for him still trying to make an appointment with the Great God at Qidian, I would really want to forcefully recommend Pu Ding's new book to his readers.
After thinking for a while, Yun Xiliu opened his QQ and said to the operation officer: "Momo, you can make a promotional post in my book circle and recommend "Online Games: Almighty Druid" by Pu Ding.
, just write the recommendation words. It is a top-notch virtual online game article and is most likely to become popular."
What does it have to do with the recommendation officer’s own posts?
Anyway, he didn’t post it in the text, so Qidian couldn’t say anything to him.
Qidian does not allow the recommendation of works from outside sites. The reviewers will catch you. At that time, let alone sealing a chapter, it is not impossible to just throw your book into a dark room.
Yun Xiliu took a look at the friend application, but he still didn’t receive a letter after he made the decision.
On the contrary, I won money online.
"Hehe~ This little brother is also quite interesting. He actually learned Pu Ding's hard-core virtual online game writing, but he didn't choose the right person. He actually asked Lao Tian to teach him, hahaha~haha~ha."
"Wait a minute! What Lao Tian teaches seems to be very similar to Pu Ding's new book."
"Hi~could it be"
Yun Xiliu suddenly thought of a possibility!
Something that no one else would have thought of!
"Could it be that Lao Tian is Pu Ding's trumpet! He is actually telling Ying Ma about the creative concept of his new book?"
