Post-shadow Development Plan

Qiye held her chin with her hands and made a thoughtful gesture.

If horror is a physical stimulation, and horror is a dual stimulation of physical and psychological, then weirdness is a very pure psychological feeling.

To use a more popular word, that is - think carefully and fear.

The most notable feature of Weird is that it does not deliberately create a scary environment and a scary atmosphere.

But when people learn about this story, they think carefully, and the more they think about it, the more creepy they will feel.

When people face a weird story, because of its half-hidden narrative skills, they will be forced to explore and understand the story by instinctive curiosity.

It can be said that the biggest feature of weird works is that this "snake" created by humans is not the creator of the story itself, but the person who reads the story.

As people get a deeper understanding of the story, the "snake" that symbolizes fear will gradually become clearer in people's minds.

At the same time, just as there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers.

Because everyone has different cognitions, there will be subtle differences in the shaping of "snakes", but this difference is also the highlight of weird works.

At the same time, because weirdness requires careful thinking and careful consideration of the key relationships, weirdness is usually linked to suspense.

More importantly, because it needs time for people who read the story to ponder carefully, good works using weird means are usually literary works.

The most famous genre of weird literature is the new genre of ghost stories that has become very popular in recent years, among which the SCP series of literary works and Cthulhu are the best.

Strictly speaking, Cthulhu cannot be counted in the new ghost story, it is a relatively complete special mythology system.

As a setting, the logic of the Cthulhu gods is strict, the setting is clear, and there are even very strict term interpretations.

Although as an emerging mythology system, the Cthulhu pantheon is probably second only to the Flying Spaghetti God religion, and the most complete modern mythology with a world view.

It's just that although the system itself has some weird elements, but because the explanation is relatively clear, it doesn't make people so scared.

The reason why Cthulhu is inseparable from weirdness is mainly because of the scattered stories written by countless writers who have followed suit with the Cthulhu mythology system as the background.

Relying on the classic [undescribable] feature in Yuke mythology, these stories often give people a chilling and inexplicable sense of fear.

This is probably why the mythology of the restraint system is loved by a considerable number of specific audiences in modern times.

"That's true." Lao Xu said with longing, "The charm of the Cthulhu mythology is that you can break away from reality and tell stories that seem unimaginable."

"Old Xu, you seem to like Cthulhu very much."

Lao Xu nodded again and again: "Yes, I have borrowed many settings and inspirations from the Cthulhu Mythos in "The Song of Saya."

[I still forgot about this...]

From Qiye's point of view, "The Song of Saya" is indeed a very good work that combines horror and weirdness.

It can even be said to be the weirdest style among Lao Xu's works.

It's just the curious "jelly" element that made Qiye feel that few people would be able to finish this work calmly without losing its San value.

As for the other weird work SCP mentioned just now...

Let's put it this way, the particularity of SCP is also its biggest feature, that is, the essence of SCP is a hodgepodge circle written by a group of supernatural horror science fiction fans.

Different from Gram works, it has more and wider participants, and its styles are more different.

Although the story of Cthulhu is also co-created by many writers, writing is the key to the success of Cthulhu's works.

If the creator is not strong enough, the things that come out will not only have no sense of fear, but will only make people feel dull.

But SCP is different, because the descriptions in it are relatively simple sentences, so compared to literature in SCP, imagination is the key.

So SCP is all-encompassing, it's more like a repository of inspiration.

There are even a lot of content that has nothing to do with weirdness and horror, and more of it is a simple joke and brainstorming essay.

Although this has resulted in uneven levels of archives in the SCP, the degree of popularity is also different.

But such an SCP makes people feel the charm even more.

After all, such created works are even more puzzling.

And this is where the strange charm lies, the critical moment when you are almost in control of the truth, and the extremely urgent desire to control, which is simply irresistible for those lovers of new strange stories.

Compared with the original content and outline of the story, everyone pays more attention to the key points they discovered during the development of the story or at the end, or at the inconspicuous details.

This kind of pleasure of suddenly realizing is an enjoyment that horror and horror cannot give.

In fact, it doesn't matter what the truth of the whole story is, and it doesn't matter whether the sales details are correct. The important thing is to enjoy the process of gradually mastering.

"So, Laoxu."

Qiye solemnly invited Xu Yuanxuan who was sitting opposite her: "Let's create our own 'snake'."

"Our snake?"

Lao Xu said a little unconfidently: "Can I do it? I can't even handle horror very well now."

"This is just a bottleneck period for your creation. I believe that you, who once wrote "The Song of Saya", will be able to create impressive and frightening works again."

Qiye was very sure that Lao Xu would be able to overcome this hurdle.

After all, in his previous life, Lao Xu created the work that can be called a masterpiece - "Magic Girl Madoka Magica" after experiencing the exhaustion of thinking source.

And this is also the new movie that Qiye plans to shoot after FZ is over.
