Ideas flashed through Sun Quan's mind one after another, but he rejected them one by one.
I don't know how much time has passed, but he still hasn't thought about what to write in the new book. Maybe he drank too much tea and felt like peeing.
He sighed, got up and walked out of the study. After using the toilet, he returned to the door of the study. When he was about to enter, he faintly heard the cry of the child.
He paused and listened.
Then I heard it more clearly. It was indeed the child's cry coming from the master bedroom.
"What's wrong with the child? Is it Dabao or Xiaobao?"
Muttering to himself, Sun Quan frowned and walked quickly towards the master bedroom. However, when he was about to reach the door of the master bedroom, the crying of the child in the bedroom stopped.
He should have been coaxed by Yuan Shuiqing or his mother Xu Mei.
Sun Quan stopped again.
He wanted to go in and see the child, but something moved in his heart, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind - Dad Wen.
Yes, at this moment, because of the child's cry just now, he suddenly thought of the urban literature category - daddy literature.
And the more I thought about it, the more I felt that if the new book was about nanny, it would be quite interesting.
He is not sure yet whether there are any nanny articles on Qidian. It seems that there is, and it seems that there is not. But he knows that nanny articles were popular for a while in Qidian.
As long as this type of work is well written, readers will still be willing to buy it.
only……
This kind of novel seems to have a limited upper limit for achievement, and it can gather a group of loyal book fans, but it seems very difficult to expect a novel about dad to dominate the Qidian monthly ticket list.
Anyway, in his memory, no matter in this world or in the original time and space, there seemed to be no daddy novel that dominated Qidian's monthly vote list.
but……
Sun Quan feels that this record may not be unbreakable.
After all, in his memory, none of the top masters at Qidian seemed to have written about daddy stories. The masters favored fantasy and fairy tales.
Even a few years later, Qidian's fantasy channel was known as the exclusive sanctuary of great masters in the author circle.
How did you say this?
As far as Sun Quan knows, more than 80% of the works that can be written on the Qidian Fantasy Channel in a few years will be the works of great masters. New authors and other authors below the masters will often die if they open new books on the Qidian Fantasy Channel.
Very miserable.
Over time, there has been a saying in the author circle - starting point fantasy is the exclusive domain of the great gods.
Not only fantasy, but also fairy tales have gradually gained some flavor. Authors below the level of masters write these two types of works, but very few succeed.
And whether it's fantasy or fairy tales, they generally don't have the element of a nanny.
Sun Quan has read a few of Dad's stories.
I feel like this type is indeed unique.
For readers who like to read this genre, when Dad’s writing is touching, it is really touching.
And the essence of Dad’s article...
His impression was of a divorced or widowed man, or a single man who adopted an orphan, and a story he had to tell with a cute baby.
In secular concepts, a single woman with a child would have a very difficult life. In fact, if you think about it carefully, a single man with a child would not have an easy life either.
And in this very difficult process, it is very easy to write many touching scenes.
The warm and difficult daily life between a dad and his cute baby can touch people's hearts.
In addition, this type of work is relatively easy to create a likable heroine image.
Why do you say that?
In other types of works, there can be thousands of reasons why the heroine likes the hero, but it is really difficult to write a touching story about the heroine's love for the hero. The shaping of the heroine must be lovable.
, not very easy either.
In contrast, one of the major advantages of the nanny novel is that if the female protagonist can be nice to the cute baby and also treat the male protagonist well, it will make readers think that she is a good woman and give readers a good impression.
It's easy to stay.
Because everyone knows in their hearts that in the world, if a single man with a child has no money, it is difficult for a beautiful woman to really like him.
Moreover, since childhood, everyone has been under the impression that there are not many good stepmothers in the world.
For example, Snow White's stepmother poisoned Snow White to death with a poison apple.
etc.
We have been exposed to similar stories a lot since childhood.
Therefore, when you see a beautiful woman in a daddy novel who is really kind to the male protagonist and his ex-wife’s child, such a heroine will easily win the favor of male readers.
As for Qidian Men’s Channel, most readers are undoubtedly boys.
Although many male readers may not be married yet, the female readers may not even have one, let alone a child.
But this does not prevent you from imagining that one day in the future, when you are reading the story about Dad, you will get married, give birth to a baby, your wife will die, or run away with someone, and then you will become a person like in the book.
Kubi’s nanny.
This sense of substitution is not difficult to find.
…
While thinking about this, Sun Quan walked slowly back to his study, sat back in front of the computer, and lit a cigar again.
I'm still thinking about it in my mind.
Regarding Internet articles, he has a lot of his own experiences.
He still remembers that when he first entered the field of online writing, he always liked to make various settings, let his thoughts fly, and come up with all kinds of unconstrained plot ideas.
At that time, he felt that the most attractive part of online articles was the settings of various novel world views, as well as various settings of magical powers, superpowers, magical weapons, etc.
At that time, he felt that these were the biggest reasons why online writing was more enjoyable than traditional novels.
Later, I wrote more and more works.
He slowly realized that those were skins, just like jars containing fine wine.
Different world settings, magical skills, abilities, magical weapons, etc. are like different exquisite wine jars.
But if the wine in the wine jar is not good enough, no matter how beautiful the wine jar is, it will not be loved by alcoholics.
As for the online writing industry, what is the “wine” of online writing?
What is the essence of an online article?
If you ask this question to different online article authors, you will definitely get different answers.
And the answer Sun Quan realized was - love, resentment, and hatred.
Just these four words.
He feels that not only online articles, but in fact any novel, or movie, TV series, comics, etc., the core thing is the love and resentment in the story.
Various other novel settings are nothing more than different shells of the story.
After peeling off the different shells, the most important thing is whether the story inside is exciting, attractive enough, and whether it can become a classic depends on how well the love and resentment inside is written.
These four words, love, resentment, and hatred, can evolve into countless storylines.
For example, friendship, love, family affection, mentorship, hatred for killing one's father, hatred for taking away one's wife, etc.
Just like what Taoists often say: Two in one life, three in two, and all things in three. The four words "gratitude, resentment, love and hatred" in the novel are enough to evolve any story plot.
And Dad Wen...
Sun Quan felt that he could focus on writing three kinds of emotions.
One is the love between father and son, or the love between father and daughter. As for whether it is the love between father and son, or the love between father and daughter, it depends on whether the cute baby in the "Daddy" article is a boy or a girl.
Two...
It's love.
Because the male protagonist brings a cute baby, and the cute baby brought by the single male protagonist, in the world's concept, a single man and woman with a child... is considered a spoiler.
If a man with a "dirty attitude" can get the sincere admiration of a good woman, he can satisfy many readers' fantasies and longings for love.
The third is friendship.
Friends...in life, sometimes they are very reliable, but everyone knows that there are very few truly reliable friends around them.
When you are doing well, you often have many friends. When you are lonely, a phone call can call many friends to accompany you to drink, sing karaoke, or do other things.
But when you are in poverty, carrying a "slugger" and living a miserable life, how many of those friends can still be enthusiastic about you?
When you are in trouble, how many true friends will help you?
There are many people who add icing on the cake, but few people who provide help in times of trouble.
This has been a social trend since ancient times.
Therefore, in a story, when the male protagonist is in despair, love will appear precious and touching, and the same is true for friendship.
In addition to these three sentiments, they can be used as a good selling point for a novel about nanny.
Sun Quan felt that Naibawen also had a good selling point.
——That is, when the dad himself was at his most depressed, in order to give his children a better life, he fought persistently against life and destiny, lived hard, worked hard, and got ahead. The struggle process is also very charming.
all in all.
Sun Quan feels that a good nanny novel can completely form four plot lines, which are intertwined and go hand in hand. Finally, at the end of the book, the four plot lines merge into one, ending with a happy ending.
In this way, the book has depth and breadth in plot, and will not make people feel that the story line of this book is too thin.
The four plot lines are constantly switched and written, so that readers will not feel that the thin plot is too boring.
As for which four plot lines are they?
That's simple too.
These are the four major selling points of Dad’s story that he just thought of.
The relationship between a father and his child is the same.
The love line between the dad and the heroine is the second line.
The friendship between dad and friends is the third line.
The dad’s own struggle is the fourth line.
With these four plot lines, Sun Quan wanted to write a novel about dad with one to two million words. Sun Quan felt that it was completely enough, so the text assigned to each plot line was only a few hundred thousand words.
There is a market for Dad’s articles on Qidian. He believes that if Qidian writes such a new book, he doesn’t need to worry too much about its popularity.
Even if he can't dominate Qidian's monthly vote list, the world is so beautiful, but he always wants to dominate Qidian's monthly vote list. Is it really okay?
There is no need to be so ambitious in life!
Besides, he has won the Qidian monthly vote list a few times, hasn’t he?
Still rare?
All right!
In fact, he is still rare. After all, if you can be a champion, who would want to be someone else's foil?
However, compared to being the winner of Qidian's monthly popular list, he hopes that the new book can be more easily adapted into a TV series or movie in the future.
As for the story about Dad, he thinks it would be okay if it were adapted into a film and television series.
Not only is it possible, but it is also convenient to save the cost of investing in photography.
reason?
Because in the early and middle stages of Dad's novels, the male protagonist's life is generally very poor, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation are very shabby. When investing in film and television dramas, investment in venues, clothing, food, etc. can be very cheap!
Seeing this, some people may question - Sun Quan felt that filming "My Celebrity Girlfriend" was very difficult, because in order to make that drama well, the acting skills of the male and female protagonists were very high.
But isn’t it difficult to shoot a story about a dad?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the children in the story about the father. Isn’t it more difficult to ask the children to have superb acting skills? It is no more difficult to ask the male and female protagonists to fall in love than to ask the slightly older children to act well.
?
At first glance, this question seems reasonable.
But if you think about it carefully, it's actually not the case.
there are many reasons.
For example, "My Celebrity Girlfriend" has only one main line, which is the love between the male and female protagonists. Therefore, the core selling point of that book is only one - love.
Having such a single core selling point has both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that such a work can concentrate all the space and ink on the core selling point of love. If it is done well enough, it can make people more moved.
But the disadvantages are also obvious - once this core selling point is not shaped so perfectly, the appeal of the entire story will collapse. If it is filmed into a film and television drama, once this core selling point is not done well, then the film and television drama will
No matter how good the other parts of the show are, to the audience, this film and television show is bad.
But the story about the nanny that Sun Quan just thought about is different.
In his vision, the core selling point of this daddy novel is not just one, but includes family ties, love, friendship, and the personality charm of the male protagonist in the process of struggling for his career, etc.
So the core selling point of this book is diversification.
Even if one or two of the core selling points are not shot perfectly, the impact on the entire drama will not be so great as to end it.
Not only that, he feels that the issue of children's acting skills is actually not that important.
Because children... have a huge natural advantage.
Especially for cute babies, even if they have no acting skills to speak of, in many cases, a cute baby's innocent smile, when shown in movies and TV series, can infect countless people and make people feel like their whole heart has been melted.
A drop of tears from a child can also make people feel distressed.
This advantage is difficult for adults to have.
Therefore, he had just thought that if his Xianyu Film and Television filmed a drama about a nanny in the future, the crew would only need to find a child who is cute enough, and there would be no need to worry too much about acting.
Cute, that’s enough!
If you can add a little spirituality in performance on top of cuteness, it will be a great tear-jerking magic weapon.
…
The more he thought about it, the more Sun Quan wanted to write a new book about dad.
In addition to all the reasons mentioned above, he felt that he had another big advantage when writing about a baby daddy. His grandson had three children.
He knows his own state of mind as a father, and has personally experienced the state of mind in which he is willing to sacrifice everything for his children, even his own life.
So he is confident that he can write a touching and likeable dad.
