Genius writer

After eating, Li Rang and Ren Mingqing went upstairs to write a manuscript.

It was more than half of the draft time, and Tan Si wanted to completely overthrow it.Tan Si wasn't stressed at all, and Ren Mingqing wasn't in a hurry at all. Instead, he took good care of his copy editor. God knows how much his editor helped him.

For this project, Li Rang worked hard day and night.The ordinary man has contributed all his talent and strength. What about these famous so-called authors?They never racked their brains for any setting, never forgot to sleep and eat for a sentence, just because they are talented, they can easily seize the fruits of everyone's labor?

Li Rang suppressed the resentment in his heart and began to browse through his accumulation of materials.He collected characters, disassembled the plot structure, recorded inspirations at random, and accumulated good words and sentences... He has insisted on these basic skills for five years.

There is a pile of thick cowhide notebooks on his desk, unpretentious, but he loves them.Whenever he feels that the world is unfair, or when he has no confidence in himself, he looks through the homework he has done.He saw himself step by step and down-to-earth over the years.If it is said that all kinds of being a gunman make him feel uneasy, then this hard-working self makes him calm and even full of hope for the future.

As long as he persisted long enough, he believed that one day, Muse would realize that he had missed him and leaned over to kiss his face.

-

As soon as he sat down at the desk, Tan Si came out of the bathroom, holding his manuscript in his hand: "It won't work like this, there is something wrong with your manuscript!" I'm reading the text.

As the author, Li Rang is very protective of his own works, and immediately made excuses: "This is just a first draft, you can call it a draft. You haven't refined the world settings now, and what I can write here is very rough. It's a big frame."

Tan Si was anxious: "Your big frame doesn't look good."

Li Rang felt that he didn't understand anything at all: "What is good about the outline? The outline is to let you stop writing and justify yourself." He bit the "self-justification" very hard, mocking Tan Si for having a hundred ideas a day , all fucking nonsense.

"How does your outline compare with the story outline of Mount Duta? He also has a complete story structure, why does he seem so much more interesting? There is no way you can beat him like this."

"I'm just a shooter, I'm not comparing him." Li Rang retorted.

"That's right, I was the one who was comparing with him. But I am the same king as him, you are Xingyao, right?"

Li Rang was furious.

Tan Si slid the chair to his side: "Didn't you always think highly of yourself and look down on me and Du Tashan? Why is it 'I'm not comparing him' at this time. Don't talk about whether you are a gunner or not. To say that what you two wrote is not a level of author."

"You are an author of the same level as him, so you can write it yourself." Li Rang was arrogant, even though the wound on his face was still hurting, he still confronted Tan Si unscrupulously, not afraid to provoke him at all.

Since Tan Si decided to start from scratch, she has also taken a lot of seriousness, staying with Li Rang every day, setting up the world, setting up characters, and arranging the clues of the plot.If he wants to control his temper, he can calm down in the face of provocation.

At this moment, he said extremely calmly: "That's right. However, Duo Tashan is a little better than me. He is better than me in story structure. This is why I need you. And my hand speed is not so fast. I can only complete the key plots, and you have to write other not so important plots, but there is a problem with your writing. Let alone whether it is comparable to Dutashan, you can’t even match my level .”

Li Rang walked up to him irritably, and tore through the manuscript: "What's the problem?"

Tan Si: "I can't tell."

Li Rang glared at Tan Si.

Tan Si's expression remained unchanged: "I'm a genius, and I'm not a professional editor. I write and read articles all by feeling. When I read your article, it feels wrong! I don't know your methods, but you and Du Tashan is a way of thinking. You are all writers with careful logic, rigorous structure, and a big picture, so I let you handle this case and turn my ideas into a long novel. But you and Du Tashan have the most important thing. The essential difference: Dutashan is good-looking, but you are not good-looking, is this really due to talent?"

Li Rang's eyelids twitched violently.

Tan Si knew that this was his deathbed.Li Rang has been troubled by his talent for a long time.

Tan Si witnessed the soaring level of Duta Mountain, and realized that it might not be a matter of aura. Duta Mountain already had aura, but his writing style limited his free play, making his performance in the early stage not as good as in the later stage. .In the same way, Li Rang may not be without aura, he just has a big problem that has not been resolved.For the final presentation of this case, Tan Si couldn't wait to hope that Li Rang could quickly ascend.

"There must be a reason for the poor writing. You should quickly find a solution." Tan Si threw the manuscript to him, and then sat down in front of the computer with a cigarette in his mouth to worry.

-

Li Rang dragged his manuscript helplessly, his eyes were distracted, obviously thinking about something.After a long time, he finally made up his mind, changed his account, and found the long-lost ID in the blacklist.

For so many years, that person hasn't even changed his profile picture.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Li Rang released him from the blacklist, and then clicked the button to add friends.The text in the application box continued to be typed and erased. In the end, Li Rang changed his nickname and avatar just to be on the safe side, and coldly typed a series of enthusiastic words: "Hi Sihai, I have a question and I want to ask you."

Not long after, his friend request was approved.

Sihai: Hello, how can I help?

Li Rang sneered, it seemed that Sihai didn't recognize him.Is he still playing with this helpful, brother-in-law personality?Doesn't he remember the cruel things he said to himself back then?

Li Rang didn't sink in hatred for too long, and soon recovered, trying to organize his words to express his predicament to him.Now is not the time to be self-willed, and the next pitch will determine whether he will remain unknown for the rest of his life or rise to the top. The only possibility for him to win the world is to help him from all over the world.

Although Si Hai has retired from the world these years, Li Rang knows how powerful he is.His youthful years were full of memories of "The Great and Poor Ji", because he yearned for the world described by the four seas, he embarked on the road of writing and writing.Si Hai not only showed him a near-perfect novel, but also personally led him to create it for a period of time.After he quit his job, he fled to the world, stayed with him for two months, accepted his lectures and revised manuscripts, and it was there that he spent his initial stage as an author.

Even though the two broke up in the end, and even became enemies, Li Rang still admitted that Sihai Zongheng was the most powerful author he had ever seen.He desperately needs his enlightenment now.

Li Rang chose a biography of a character and replaced all the nouns in it that might point to "Glory of Heroes". This is not only to protect his own identity, but also to not leak information to the outside world.After careful inspection, he threw the word document to Sihai: "I don't know what's wrong with my article, it doesn't seem very vivid."

Half an hour later, after reading his eloquent over [-] words, the avatar lighted up again.

Sihai: You’re right, it’s not very vivid

Li Rang's face sank.

Four Seas: There is nothing wrong with the article, it is your fault

Li Rang moved a few times on the chair irritably.

Sihai: You are very good at writing plots, I seem to have read 20 words.But this article doesn't feel like a novel to me?Especially like the plot of the game.

Li Rang was taken aback, after so many years, Si Hai's eyes are still so poisonous.

Sihai: Did I guess right?This is something like a detailed outline, written for plot planning.

Kong: Doesn’t this make it particularly difficult to establish a character?

Sihai: No, even at the outline level, the characters have to be erected, and the detailed outline of the plot is more to reflect the character of the characters.

Sora: My characters are very distinct.Dilemmas and choices are all done in a unified way.

Sihai: That’s right, it’s pretty good.

Sihai: You do pretty well in everything, including suspense, rhythm, thread embedding and so on...

Kong: So what is the problem?

Don't be like Tan Si, who only pokes trouble and doesn't solve the problem.

Four Seas: No Resonance

Li Rang sat up from his chair and stared blankly at the four words on the screen.

Sihai: It’s your characters, they are so rigid from beginning to end, although you have set up various personalities for them, some are very proud, some are cold, some are very smart... But they are very templated, It is routine, and there is nothing particularly touching about the complete plot.He is not touching.

Kong: Why does it have to be touching?

Sihai: Although you can rely on logic to write a novel, its goal is to create a variety of flesh-and-blood characters. This is done by human feelings, not by logical reasoning. You can’t just use your brain without emotion.Your characters are empty but without emotion. Their emotions are very empty, and it is difficult to arouse the resonance of readers.

Kong: What should I do?

Sihai: Technically, you have to find a way to set the plot points and break their respective character settings.

Kong: Why did you break the character setting?That person set is not unified.

Sihai: Because when human beings are emotional, it is against logic.They will suddenly violate their own behavior patterns and make no sense.

Li Rang opened his mouth slightly, leaned back on the chair, then grabbed his notebook and started to record crazily.

Kong: I probably understand a little bit. Are you talking about character growth and character arc?I have written this.After a character experiences a series of events, a major change in his three views is caused. This change is caused by a huge disaster, which in turn affects his entire life.

Four Seas: You really have a solid foundation

Sihai: But you have to know that this summary is just the imitation of logic to emotion.You know that you have to follow this path to create, but you know, what is a "huge disaster" for a person?What is "a major change in the three views"?What kind of ups and downs a person may experience in his life, what kind of thoughts and emotions he will have in each period, whether he is afraid or struggling, sad or happy, what kind of fetters he will have with whom... …you're constantly adding biographies to your characters without really treating them as human beings.

Li Rang folded his arms and quietly watched the lines that jumped out on QQ.

Sihai: You only know the principles, but you don't have the material of the world.So your story is very shallow, what does your character matter to ordinary people?Do they have any empathy with the general public?With all due respect, you are an author who does not understand human nature.An author who does not understand human nature, no matter how solid his foundation is, he cannot create moving works.Fiction is the mirror of life.What you need is not sitting in front of the computer and tangling, you have to go elsewhere to take care of your life.

Li Rang actually felt it himself.His understanding of characters is superficial. He made a character design, but he didn't know how to express this character design in his writing.A proud person, Li Rang doesn't really know how to deal with various situations.A novel is a mirror of life. If the author does not know this type of person at all, no matter how rich his imagination and logical thinking ability are, he cannot create a flesh and blood character out of thin air.

Fortunately, Four Seas not only raised his problem, but also tried to help him solve it.

Sihai: Take the article you gave me as an example, you can try mirror projection—do you have a scene in your mind?can you see him

Kong: Yes, I am a screen author.

Sihai: Now reduce your dimension and project yourself into the character.

Li Rang gave a fuck, what kind of technology is this?

Kong: I want... I want to pretend that I am him?

Four Seas: Of course

Four Seas: It's like a split personality.

Li Rang calmed down, trying not to look down on the characters, but to penetrate into the story.

Sihai: There is a very strange plot in it, in which the main character kills his wife.

Li Rang's article describes a tyrant who was not valued by his father in the early years. The woman he loved married his brother, but he was banished by his brother after failing to seize the heir. In desperation, he married a princess from a neighboring country. The country was also miserably suspected.Later, through his own planning, he gradually came to power, and returned to the country to avenge his revenge and dominate the world.Li Rang wrote that he ended up with his first love and killed his first wife.

Sora: Because he is a very cruel tyrant.

Sihai: It’s not him, it’s you

Sihai: You have just arrived in a neighboring country and you are in a bad situation. You married your wife just to make a living. Your wife is the king's favorite daughter.And you are just an exiled prince, how did the two of them get along with so much difference in status?This shows that the princess loves you very much.She is savage, but no matter how savage she is, she has devoted herself to your husband, and your protagonist has never felt the feeling of love since he was born.He may not love your wife, but won't you be moved by it?

Li Rang was stunned.As a male author, he is not used to writing about the relationship between children. He didn't think much about the protagonist's wife at all, he just built a personal setting for her and it was over.She is just a shadow of the protagonist who dominates the world.

Sihai: You are imprisoned because of political struggle, the king wants him to die, you stay in prison, is your situation easy?

Li Rang saw a cold prison, wet straw, rats squeaking among the straw, and the prison clothes on his body exuded the stench of blood.

Sihai: What did your wife do at this time?She loves you very much, and is afraid that you won't be able to eat well or sleep well. She has a body of gold and comes to see you with a hot pancake wrapped around her chest.

Li Rang heard the soft whispers of the woman berating the guards not far away, followed by a short sound of impatient footsteps.He got up from the dark corner, his whole body ached, and the beautiful face of his wife emerged from the darkness.She usually likes to dress up very much. At this time, her hair was disheveled and she didn't have any makeup on. She looked around cleverly and didn't say much, so she quickly handed him the bread.He was very hungry, eating voraciously, and occasionally looked up, and the firelight illuminated her bright and sad face.

Sihai: So I don't think you will kill her.You are cold but not emotionless.In the trough of life where many people betrayed relatives, there is only one person who treats you well and will never leave you. Even if you approach her with malice, you may not be sincere.On the contrary, if it is your first love, if we meet again decades later, what kind of lust can there be?Some regrets last forever simply because they are regrets.Missed is missed, time is cruel.Can you really do it for the face you loved when you were young, and for the wife who has been with you day and night all your life?You see the burn on her chest and you think of her face in the firelight.At that time you have nothing, but she gave everything.

Li Rang has no wife, but he remembered the girl he had a crush on in junior high school.He wouldn't kill anyone just to be with her, that's just human nature.

Kong: I probably understand what you mean.If you arrange it this way, the character design will be more multi-faceted and more three-dimensional.

Sihai: It can be said like this, but I prefer to express it this way: No matter how shocking their lives are in the story, they are just ordinary people after all, with the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of ordinary people, nothing more.

Kong: I understand.Fiction is the mirror of life.

Sihai: Alright, now I am going to revise this article according to my method.Remember, enter the scene, they are you, try to figure out your heart, don't label them.

Sihai chatted with Li Rang for more than an hour, and Li Rang found that he was very good at grasping emotions, or in other words, understood people's hearts very well.He can write very ordinary, ordinary but touching details, making people feel that these characters are real.It is impossible for him to think of these details, because he has not paid attention to them.He is very indifferent to the people around him, and devotes himself to writing, which leads to his little life experience and little understanding of human beings.

Kong: I have a feeling.I'll try it.Thanks.

Sihai: Okay, I'll get off first. My husband told me to take a shower. If you need anything, please leave a message.

Empty: goodbye

Four Seas: Goodbye.

Ren Mingqing turned off the phone, and Zhuang Mo hung on him.

"You'd rather chat with people than take a bath with me." Zhuang Mo had just recovered from his fever, and his voice sounded stern.

"Someone asked me about writing. I just wrote a similar character and guided him." Ren Mingqing explained.Not all the revised drafts of the details he demonstrated for Kong were edited on the spot, some were directly extracted from his finished manuscripts, and he wrote them himself.

"Then I should be on the account." Zhuang Mo rubbed Ren Mingqing's knuckles distressedly, "Our teacher Ren has been typing on the keyboard all day, and he is overworked. It's rare for him to take a day off. What kind of training classes are there?"

"This person is different. He is very good at writing. He has all the skills and strengths, but he lacks a little distraction. If he can adjust it well, he can become a god."

"You care about him becoming a god, and you don't care about me taking a bath." Zhuang Mo hung on him again.

Ren Mingqing stood up and pushed Zhuang Mo into the bathroom: "Okay, okay, let Momo take a shower~gogogo~"
