"This is the second time I've read this story. After reading this story for the second time, I really have a completely different feeling. I strongly recommend everyone to read it again! - Wax, Xiaoxin"
"This story is really sad. It made me cry when I read it. Such a good heroine was taken away by ghosts. How can I write about it later? She committed suicide."
"If this book were to be this long, it would be a very classic short story. Now I am very worried about what else Lao Sun can write in the future. If the subsequent plots are not as good as the previous plots, it will be an anticlimax, right? - Yu
Sword to Hell"
"Lao Sun has made great progress. He managed such a big move without saying a word. It's so fun! - Subspace"
"After reading yesterday's update, I can't read other authors' books anymore. I'm running out of books, what should I do? - Long Xiang Rising"
…
In the morning, Sun Quan held a bowl of beef noodles in front of the computer and ate loudly. While eating the noodles, he looked at the comments in the book review area with a smile, as if he was using these book reviews as side dishes for eating noodles, and the effect was quite good.
.
When he updated the two chapters yesterday, he expected that the trend in the book review area would change drastically, and he was looking forward to it.
Because as early as when he wrote the previous short story, he knew whether the book would be successful or not would depend on whether this plot could be successfully reversed.
In this plot, the image of the male protagonist Chen Yang will be subverted. In the previous plot, Chen Yang gave readers all the bad impressions, such as decadence, weirdness, etc., in this short two-chapter plot, they will all be
Complete subversion.
No matter how bad the readers' impression of him was before, they will be deeply moved after reading these two chapters.
This is the best effect in his ideal. Only by achieving this effect, after the heroine Li Yutong is taken away by ghosts, will the book fans have the motivation to continue to pursue this book.
Otherwise, in the previous dozens of chapters, Li Yutong, the most lovable character, suddenly left with Guizhan. Who would want to continue reading this book?
Therefore, in these two chapters... he wants to make the positive image of the male protagonist Chen Yang surpass that of the female protagonist Li Yutong, and try to make Chen Yang the most popular character in this book so far.
Only in this way, after Li Yutong disappeared, did everyone have the desire to read the plot behind the book.
It can be said that the story of Chen Yang and Li Yutong, as well as the dozens of chapters since the beginning of this book, have the greatest role of establishing the character - the character of the male protagonist Chen Yang.
As long as this person sets it up, the book will be at least half successful.
Because Chen Yang is the most critical character throughout the entire book, the personality of this character must stand up, and at least it must be lovable enough. Only when the reader is lovable enough, will the reader be willing to take on the role of himself in their heart when reading this book.
Chen Yang’s identity.
Spend dozens of chapters to establish a character for the male protagonist...
He had never done this kind of thing before, nor had he even thought about it.
Because it is too ink-intensive, the efficiency is too low.
But in this book "The Last Wish of the Dead", he actually did so.
First of all, he felt that it was worth it. As the most important key figure in the whole book, the character Chen Yang was worthy of all the pen and ink he put into it.
Secondly... the story of Chen Yang and Li Yutong is not only to establish Chen Yang's character, it also sets the tone of the book. Once this tone is set, similar short stories will be released one after another.
Only then can readers accept it more naturally.
Otherwise, readers who are accustomed to reading long-form online articles may find it difficult to accept this collection of short stories in small units.
…
Of course, as the author of this book, Sun Quan took many things into consideration when he wrote the last two chapters.
For example, the male protagonist Chen Yang, in addition to his yin and yang eyes, can also draw talismans, revealing his secret identity as a successor of Tianshi Dao.
When constructing the outline of the story "The Last Wish of the Dead", Sun Quan inevitably referred to "Soul Ferry" of the same type in his memory.
He remembered that the male protagonist of "Soul Ferry" was just like ordinary people except for his yin and yang eyes, and he had no other special abilities.
Sun Quan carefully considered this issue when preparing the outline of "The Last Wish of the Dead".
Is the male protagonist of his book going to be similar to the male protagonist in "Soul Ferry", who only awakens his yin and yang eyes and has no other abilities?
He thought about this issue for a long time before making up his mind.
The male protagonist of his book should not be such a loser, he should have some other skills.
Firstly, this is because although his book is likely to be adapted into an online drama in the future, at least for now, it is first and foremost an online text.
As for Qidian's current web articles... the upgrade flow is a mainstream.
Works in which the male protagonist is too good-for-nothing are likely to be disliked by readers.
Second... He remembered that in "Soul Ferry", almost all the scenes of showing off the cool costumes were given to the second male lead... the ghost was missing.
In contrast, the male lead is often bullied and ridiculed by the second male lead, which is obviously unpopular in online writing.
Readers who are accustomed to reading online articles have long been accustomed to the coolness competition, which can only be done by the male protagonist. Even if other characters have roles in the coolness competition, it will never surpass the male protagonist.
Therefore, considering this aspect, Sun Quan also believes that he should enhance the ability of the male protagonist in his book, at least in terms of combat power, so that he cannot be completely crushed by the ghosts.
Three... The identity of the male protagonist as a successor of Tianshi Dao can also better explain why the male protagonist Chen Yang can awaken the ability of Yin and Yang Eyes.
Sun Quan feels that when it comes to awakening the yin and yang eyes, a disciple of Tianshi Dao who awakens this kind of power is obviously more convincing than an ordinary person who awakens this kind of power.
To sum up, he gave Chen Yang the identity of a successor of Tianshi Dao and the ability to draw talismans and spells.
In addition, when writing these two chapters, he had another point that he wanted to focus on.
——Ghost! That uncle who killed Matt.
After all, in the story of Chen Yang and Li Yutong, they are the only two main characters, and at the end of these two chapters, the heroine Li Yutong will be taken away.
In that case, the main characters of this book will be even thinner, leaving only one male protagonist.
As a long online article, with dozens of chapters written and only one main character left, it is obviously difficult to support the entire story.
Therefore, the appearance of Uncle Shamate also has a special role.
Add an opponent to the male protagonist and leave a suspense for the readers.
…
After finishing a bowl of noodles, Sun Quan calmed down his divergent thoughts and went to the author's backstage to check how many book fans had tipped him since the last two chapters were updated.
He still likes money.
Moreover, once a plot is written and published, by checking whether or not anyone has rewarded it, how many people have rewarded it, and the amount of the reward, one can also judge whether the plot is likable or not.
result……
He probably counted sixty or seventy more rewards since the last two chapters were updated.
Twenty of them rewarded him directly to the leader of the alliance.
It even includes Dayu and tomatoes.
This made him very satisfied and a little proud.
He knew that this book would be fine for the time being, at least in terms of reputation.
In fact, when he first decided to write this story in the outline, he was quite hesitant because the market trends at Qidian had already proven that slow-burning works were becoming increasingly unpopular.
Most of the works that have become popular in the past two years are fast-paced and refreshing.
It shows its golden finger at the beginning, and in just a few chapters or a dozen chapters, it completes a wonderful plot of pretending to be a slap in the face.
There are very few people like him who have laid out dozens of chapters.
But he finally decided to write it this way, and he was always aware of the risks involved.
There was only one reason that prompted him to take such a risk.
——The reputation and fame of his current pen name.
He feels that as a platinum author, he always has a big advantage every time he opens a new book, a big advantage that ordinary authors do not have.
Because of his previous reputation and popularity, book fans will have more patience for his new book.
He feels that the patience given to him by readers will allow him to write differently from others in the opening chapter of his new book.
New authors or ordinary authors who are not well-known need to show their golden fingers as soon as possible when opening a new book, complete a pretentious plot as soon as possible, and even follow the so-called golden three-chapter rule.
But he, Sun Quan, didn't need to think so much.
This is a big advantage for platinum authors!
Maybe other platinum authors rarely take advantage of this, or they don't have the awareness at all, but someone else wants to give it a try.
He has always believed that fast-paced Shuangwen can easily produce results in the early stage, but fast-paced Shuangwen also has great disadvantages.
That means it’s easy to collapse!
Just like those invincible books, the male protagonist is invincible as soon as he appears on the scene. When readers read that kind of book, it is indeed easy to be entertained.
But why has Wudiwen never become mainstream at Qidian?
Sun Quan had already analyzed the reasons.
He believes that the biggest reason is that it is difficult to write an invincible novel, which is a big test for the author himself. The male protagonist is invincible as soon as he appears, so the whole plot is just a show-off, and he has to cover up his disguise.
A pig eats a tiger's coat. Otherwise, you will be invincible. Who else would dare to mess with you? Give you a chance to pretend to be a slap in the face?
yes!
The plot of pretending to be slapped in the face is indeed quite enjoyable, but this routine is repeated throughout the whole story. If it is repeated for a long time, readers will get tired of it, right?
How to maintain readers' freshness is a big test for the author.
Sun Quan remembered that a few years before he was reborn, a small website emerged rapidly in the industry, and the most popular thing there was fast-paced business articles.
Many colleagues have made money there.
But the biggest problem with that website is that almost every book is short, and the author can only make quick money for a few months if a book is successful.
Because after a few months, almost no author there can survive a work that is too fast-paced, and as soon as the plot collapses, readers will abandon the book.
Because he has read a lot about the shortcomings of fast-paced writing, Sun Quan has always felt that if he wants to write a long book and maintain its appeal to readers for a long time, a slow pace at the beginning is a good method.
Just like a sentence in "Cai Gen Tan" says: "Those who stay for a long time will fly high; those who take the lead will have to wait early."
If the time to lay the groundwork is too short, even if it takes off, it won’t take long.
