Sun Quan has written very few plots of this supernatural novel so far, and most of the plots and inspirations only exist in his mind.
For the little plot he has written so far, he mainly wants to test whether his writing style is suitable for writing supernatural novels.
Writing style is very important.
Different types of works require different writing styles.
For example, the history genre needs a bit of weight. Maybe you can add a little humorous elements for the readers' reading experience, but the main tone should be heavy, otherwise the writing style will appear erratic and not like a historical text.
Like urban writing, it shouldn't be heavy, unless you want to write urban writing with a strong sense of the times, in which case it's fine if it's heavy.
In general urban writing, the most important thing is to be grounded.
And there are many ways to be grounded.
You can write casually, as if you are talking to yourself, and write wherever you think, giving people the feeling of writing an essay. Writing in this way can not only give people a good sense of immersion, but also make it more casual.
Character……
You can also try to write as humorously as possible, and just throw in a few Internet buzzwords and witticisms. This can also give people a very down-to-earth feeling and a good sense of immersion.
You can also use a plain writing style to write some stories with a strong sense of modernity, and use story plots that everyone can directly relate to and resonate with to achieve a down-to-earth feeling.
etc.
Sun Quan has never written about the writing style of supernatural writings before, but he has read supernatural writings. Although he has not read too many supernatural writings, he also has his own understanding and consideration of the writing style of supernatural writings.
In his opinion, the lowest level of supernatural writing style is to try to create a supernatural and terrifying atmosphere everywhere, just like the plasma film in a horror movie, simple, crude, and without any technical content.
Those who are a little more advanced will write in a mysterious direction. During the writing process, they will occasionally throw in some feudal superstitious terminology or secrets to create a sense of uncertainty for the readers, so as to achieve the feeling of being unpredictable and confusing the real.
smell.
The most advanced writing method... Sun Quan doesn't know it either.
He doesn't have the confidence to think that the writing method he understands must be the most advanced.
He just wanted a writing method that integrated various feelings based on his own understanding.
It's a bit like a mix and match.
He hopes that when he writes a heart-warming plot, it will be very warm; when writing a sweet plot, it will be very sweet; when writing a supernatural part, it can give people a kind of sudden thunder...that kind of creepy feeling that suddenly hits the face.
feeling.
As a veteran who has been in the Internet literature circle for more than ten years, he pays great attention to readers' reading experience.
Readability and interest have always been his pursuits. Even if he plans to write a supernatural article, he does not want to give readers a depressing and terrifying atmosphere throughout the article. He feels that if he writes like that, some readers will look at it.
Maybe I can’t hold on and don’t want to read on.
After all, online articles... for most readers, are just a way to kill time and relax, and should not be too heavy or depressing.
This is also the main reason why the original space-time supernatural novel has been unpopular for more than ten years.
The pressure of modern life is too great. Few people are willing to read some heavy and depressing novels while relaxing.
Therefore, even if he plans to write a supernatural novel, he should try his best to create a less supernatural writing style. When the plot is not necessary, he should try to write it like a relaxing urban novel.
Only when the plot is necessary, supernatural elements and plot are suddenly given.
Just like the beginning of this supernatural article he just wrote in the past few days, in his imagination, the first dozen or twenty chapters of this book have no supernatural atmosphere at all.
All supernatural phenomena are presented to readers in a suspenseful way.
For example: in his imagination, during the period when the male protagonist Chen Yang and the heroine are in love, there will be some slightly abnormal phenomena passed on to the readers. For example, every time Chen Yang and the heroine go out, an old man on the first floor will appear.
A black dog in my wife's house always barked at the heroine. The heroine was confused about this and muttered to Chen Yang several times, "What's wrong with this dog? He was very affectionate to me when he saw me before, and I even gave him bones."
As for eating, why is it always barking at me lately? Doesn't it recognize me?"
For example: every time the heroine goes out during the day, she always feels dizzy, which is slightly better on cloudy days. Especially when the sun is high in the sky, she always feels dizzy. She thinks it is the sequelae of hitting her head in the car before. She almost feels dizzy.
She once asked Chen Yang to take leave to accompany her to the hospital for examination, but Chen Yang always found various reasons, saying that he had no time, and asked her to wait, and wait.
Sun Quan had imagined several similar details in his mind, and he planned to conceive of several more similar small details before actually writing this book.
Some of these small details simply give readers a strange feeling inadvertently; the other part, while giving readers a strange feeling, also makes readers feel a little disgusted with the male protagonist Chen Yang. He hopes to reveal the female protagonist in the plot.
Before the fact that the heroine has died long ago, the reader gradually accumulates the feeling of disgust towards the male protagonist Chen Yang, because he wants to make the contrast as big as possible to instantly reverse the situation of the male protagonist Chen Yang at the moment when the fact that the female protagonist is already dead is revealed.
Everyone’s impression.
And this kind of reversal requires Chen Yang to accumulate enough resentment for everyone before, making everyone feel that not only is his life decadent, not sunny enough, but he is not considerate and caring enough for the heroine, making everyone feel that the male protagonist is not worthy of the heroine.
of the protagonist.
For example, the heroine often felt dizzy during the day and asked him to take time off to take her to the hospital for a check-up, but he always pushed back and delayed day after day.
And this is the feeling and impression Sun Quan wants to convey to readers.
Because he believes that readers are moved by a character... Many times, a misunderstanding of that character is needed. When the misunderstanding is suddenly solved, the reader will feel a sense of guilt for the character, and under this guilt,
It will amplify the touching emotion after the misunderstanding is solved.
A similar feeling occurred to Sun Quan when he read the book "The Loneliness of Masters" a long time ago.
He remembered that the heroine in "The Lonely Master" gave people the impression of a moody Rakshasa girl with abnormal brain circuits when she first appeared.
The heroine kills people at every turn, to a terrifying level.
Such a heroine does not look like a heroine at first, or even for a long time.
Sun Quan still remembers that for a long time after the heroine appeared, she had a bad impression on the hero, other characters, and readers. She was known as the number one murderer in the world, "Crazy Madman".
For a long time, when Sun Quan was reading that book, he didn't like this character either.
But suddenly one day, the author cleared up this "Crazy Man" in an instant. Through the perspective of the male protagonist, he revealed the real reason why "Crazy Man" frequently killed people and gained a lot of notoriety.
——It turned out to be because of protecting some poor women under her, some poor women who were bullied by men and bullied miserably.
Madman Xi's purpose of killing was not only to avenge those poor women and vent her anger, but also to gain a lot of notoriety and deter other men from bullying other women under her command.
In the eyes of outsiders, she is a lunatic, but in the eyes of the poor women she protects, she is their eldest sister and their protector, the kind who hates evil as much as she hates it and does everything she can to protect her own safety.
When this image was suddenly reversed, Sun Quan's feelings at that time were suddenly reversed.
He suddenly felt a little sorry for this lunatic, and then began to like this woman who was not good at words, had a cold face and a warm heart, with a heart of a Bodhisattva but a Rakshasa method.
…
Therefore, when Sun Quan conceived this supernatural novel, he thought about the early part of the first major plot of the book, and tried to make the image of the heroine beautiful enough, gentle enough, sweet enough, and heartwarming enough.
, to attract readers to read down.
But at the same time, it is also necessary to gradually accumulate readers' dislike for the male protagonist Chen Yang.
There is a degree that needs to be mastered here.
If the image of the heroine is not successfully created enough, readers will have no reason to continue reading. If the male protagonist Chen Yang disgusts everyone too much, many people may abandon the book midway.
Therefore, this speed must be mastered well, and the male and female protagonists each have their own tasks.
The heroine is responsible for being as beautiful as a flower, sweet and moving... attracting readers to read on.
The male protagonist is responsible for accumulating readers' disgust towards him bit by bit, and bit by bit of doubts...
The purpose of accumulating disgust is to move everyone deeper when the plot turns around later.
The doubt... is to reveal a bit of abnormality to the readers, intentionally or unintentionally, to give everyone a sense of suspense, which is also the driving force to attract everyone to continue reading.
When the accumulated dislike of the male protagonist reaches a certain level and cannot be increased any more, most readers will abandon the book.
At that time, Sun Quan and everyone suddenly revealed that the heroine had died a long time ago, and it was her soul that was with the hero recently. All the decadence, laziness, lack of care about the heroine, etc., of the hero actually stemmed from his love for her.
Deep love.
Because of her death, he, who was originally cheerful and active in life, became depressed, lazy, and indifferent. The reason why he was unwilling to take leave to accompany her to the hospital for examination was because the doctor could not see her. When she arrived at the hospital, she would
After discovering the fact that she was dead, he was afraid that she would be scared and sad...
And this is the effect Sun Quan wants. He wants to suddenly subvert and reverse in a single chapter that all the bad things the male protagonist has towards the female protagonist in the previous article are actually all illusions.
His love for her was deeper than anyone could imagine.
And to reveal the fact that the heroine is already dead... Sun Quan planned to use the hands of ghosts. The ghosts suddenly appeared, like thugs who suddenly appeared, and wanted to kill the heroine without saying a word. The male protagonist Chen Yang used his yin and yang eyes to desperately lead her.
He follows the heroine to escape, and after a chase, reveals the truth that the heroine has already died through the mouth of a ghost.
If you write it this way, you can produce several good effects.
