Zhang Xiaomin nodded and said: "If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have noticed. It's true. Although I know what will happen next and the ending is a happy ending, I still have a sense of expectation and will still eat popcorn.
, watching it with gusto.”
Chen Haodao: "Yes, it's like placing a circle of heart-shaped candles on the ground, holding red roses in your hands, and confessing your love in public will make girls feel romantic. They say clichés, but they are looking forward to it in their hearts."
"Of course, the formulaic skills of Hollywood movies are much better than those of low-market Internet literature. Although they are all about heroes saving beauties and having a happy ending, the plots are different, so the audience will not feel tired of the sameness, and there will be some reactions from time to time.
The routine makes the audience feel fresh and new.”
Zhang Xiaomin said: "What about?"
Chen Haodao: "For example, in fairy tales, the witch who was originally a bad guy turns into a good guy, the prince saves the princess, and fights with the dragon. It turns out that the prince is the bad guy, and the dragon is the good guy who protects the princess, etc."
But if you look carefully at these anti-routines, they are still routines in essence, and they are still inseparable from upgrading to fight monsters, flirting with girls, and the final happy ending."
Zhang Xiaomin said: "What if I were to do a real counter-routine? The protagonist is not brave or smart, and there is no golden finger or adventure. On the contrary, nine out of ten things are not as expected, and there is no story. He just goes to work, eats, shits and sleeps.
, plain and simple, no beautiful women fell in love with the protagonist. At most, the protagonist just married an ordinary woman like him, gave birth to the same ordinary children, and did not succeed in getting rich until his death. It was not as dramatic as in the novel at all, but quietly.
Silently, like a speck of dust appearing and disappearing."
Chen Haodao: "Okay, if you finish writing such a book, it will become a world famous book, such as Dream of Red Mansions, Notre Dame de Paris, Anna Karenina, The Red and the Black, etc., which will last forever and be known to everyone."
Zhang Xiaomin said: "Why can't I write well?"
Chen Hao shrugged his shoulders: "If you can't write it well, it is a true portrayal of the lives of most ordinary people in reality. Life and death are like dust and no one cares."
Zhang Xiaomin thought about it carefully, sighed and said: "You are right, so most people don't like to read masterpieces with high ideological and artistic qualities, but are willing to read these simple online novels, because only those who are called cool novels
In the online novel, you can become yourself and realize the beautiful wishes that can never be realized in your heart!"
Chen Haodao: "Yes, in fact, this book also tried to write some plots about cultivating immortals, such as exploring treasure places, etc., but guess what?"
Zhang Xiaomin said: "Readers don't like it?"
Chen Haodao: "That's right, readers either don't read it or just skip it.
Even though these contents were actually written by the author with great care, they felt that the writing was boring. Instead, it was the simplest, most crude, and even stupid, pretentious and slap-in-the-face plot, which was unanimously welcomed."
Zhang Xiaomin said quietly: "I also like to watch pretending to be slapped in the face, especially those big shots that I can't reach in real life and people who have bullied me. I can't slap them in the face in reality, but in the novel, the protagonist
Fight for me!"
Chen Hao spread his hands and said: "So, of course, the author will write whatever plot readers like to see.
The difference is whether the pretense and slap in the face you wrote makes people feel better. It is just like a movie. It is also about a hero saving a beauty. Why are some movies good-looking and praised by all, while some movies are dumped on the street?
Whether it’s scolding or not, it all depends on the author’s skill.”
