Six-headed importance
Many times, when fun changes, fun is no longer fun.
I came to be an editor because of my hobby, but after I really became an editor, the job is not as good as I thought. Let’s say it’s interesting to read novels, but after I become an editor, I have to follow up and maintain hundreds of contracts signed by the team every day. Note that there are also new audits, including new ones put in storage on the same day, applying for signing contracts, and manuscripts directly sent by contractors. Sometimes the number of new audits is more than this.
Under such circumstances, I naturally expect to see more novel and interesting novels, which are less old-fashioned but brilliant. However, those new ones have let me down again and again. If they are new people, it’s all right. But some old people’s new ones are also old-fashioned themes, talking about plots, seemingly gorgeous but lacking nutrition … This can’t help but disappoint me. I’m not angry that I can’t see the good, but those people feel sorry. In my opinion, many of them have good writing skills and want to take the commercial route, but what they write is not the case. In their position, I feel
A few minutes ago, I just reviewed an old man’s novel. In the first chapter, there was a large section of scenery description, then the main plot, then the characters’ dialogue, then the gorgeous fight, and then the protagonist appeared in a dreamy lyrical memory, followed by an inexplicable plot of tens of thousands of words. I didn’t even understand what kind of novel it was. When I had the patience to ask the questioner what the selling point was, the writer told me not to worry. After giving me the manuscript, I would probably have another 10 or 20 thousand words to show that I was completely dizzy at that time!
When the writer asked me how many words I should use to express my selling point, I told him that it was an exaggeration to show the selling point to the readers as soon as possible, but it is the way to success. After all, it is different from the previous two years, and now it is the era of simultaneous emergence of quantity. These mixed novels have brought great trouble to readers. It is impossible for readers to read it patiently before deciding whether to follow it. If the writer is too "calm" and puts the best part of it after a lot of words, then I am afraid that no readers can enjoy it except himself.
According to the writer, he put the wonderful in the front, because all the stories are essential before this love festival, and they must be explained clearly. I saw him and that part is indispensable, but can’t he use flashback? Cann’t we just take the back scene to the end and briefly explain the background by flashback? Perhaps it is better to tell the story in chronological order from the integrity, but if the reader gives up after reading it, what does it matter if the story is written well? Unless you don’t expect many people to read; Or maybe this person already has a huge readership. If he is already a popular person, his head will be a little gentle and he will get into the business slowly, but even so, the adverse effects are still there.
Maybe someone will misunderstand me. When I say selling point here, I don’t mean fierce fighting or beautiful writing. Although these things are good at the beginning, they won’t really attract readers. yy is to let readers know that the protagonist is special, to let readers see the future of the protagonist, which is probably different. Of course, other small details can also attract readers, such as humorous language, but fundamentally speaking, it still depends on the plot containing yy information to form the selling point.
So how can we write a powerful game to catch readers at once? In fact, this is also simple. You need to master a few small skills, and you don’t need a high overall writing level to make the bureau attractive. These methods are roughly as follows.
First, change the narrative order. When writing the wonderful selling points behind according to the general idea, you should follow the chronological order of the story. For example, from the time when the protagonist was bullied as a child to the time when he tried not to commit suicide, then the protagonist got an adventure and finally returned to be proud … This kind of cliche still has a certain audience, but the problem is that this kind of head will be very chatty. It’s very depressing, so it’s hard to attract readers. The solution is very simple. For example, when the text comes, the protagonist gets a magic weapon and learns magic. Then the protagonist gets excited and gradually falls into meditation and recalls the past bullying … This can be described step by step as before, just adding so many words to give readers a hope. Similarly, it’s not necessary to write an adventure, but something will happen later. For example, the bureau will write that the protagonist stepped on the enemy fleet flagship, and at the same time the protagonist feels smug after years of struggle.
In the second game, the protagonist is special, which attracts readers. Here, the protagonist can be set as a martial arts genius, and something can be learned or written. One year of practicing the protagonist’s body is equal to ten years of others, which shows the great potential of the protagonist, which actually indicates that the protagonist is extraordinary, so that readers will be more willing to look at the facts. Here, the special is not necessarily a good aspect, and it is not necessary to write that the protagonist is particularly strong and clever. Especially handsome can also be in the opposite direction. For example, when writing the protagonist, he was so clumsy that he didn’t learn to speak, walk or write the protagonist’s kungfu until he was seven years old. Others can practice introductory kung fu in a few days. He hasn’t practiced this kind of setting for ten years. It seems that yy runs counter to the trend, but in this big environment, readers will also have expectations when reading this kind of bureau, because they know that there must be a reason why the protagonist is so stupid or there will be adventures afterwards. It is best to write this kind of bureau in conjunction with the third point.
The third description of the protagonist’s vision at birth is similar to the above, which focuses on the protagonist’s body, while here it emphasizes the external environment, such as the most old-fashioned protagonist’s thunder and lightning when he was born. Although this technique is vulgar, it is also quite effective. It is easy for readers to know that the protagonist is definitely extraordinary, or it can be written that when the protagonist was born, he attracted several strong people to fight, or that someone in heaven looked down and shook his head and sighed, or that a fortune teller pinched his fingers and counted his face changed greatly …
Fourth, add a short quotation in front of the text. If it is difficult to show the selling point in the office and it is not suitable for flashback, consider adding a quotation in front of the text. There are two types that are particularly suitable for this technique. First, a special magic weapon or skill runs through the text. This kind of short quotation can describe how powerful an ancient person was when he got a magic weapon hundreds of years ago. Then hundreds of years later, the protagonist of the text is a small person and gets a strange thing in his mind … At this time, the protagonist doesn’t know that this is a magical baby through the right. It describes that readers will understand that the protagonist has achieved the motivation to push readers to continue reading, and even if the protagonist has not explored the precious skills for a while, readers will maintain their interest in reading for a while, similar to the secret of martial arts. The same is true. When the protagonist gets the secret, he doesn’t have to learn it immediately, but he can also watch and play at home at will, so that readers’ appetite will also be suspended.
The other kind of technique that is suitable for this kind of technique is the one that has fantasy elements, but it is not convenient to reflect it for the time being. This kind of game may be relatively dull, and it is easy to drive away readers who are looking forward to watching fantasy plots in real life. At this time, you can add a little guide to let two strong people fight or let a strongman show one leader, so that readers will know that this nature can also keep readers who really like this kind.
It should be noted here that this quotation must be simple and concise, and it should be described with as few words as possible. For example, it is enough to describe the fighting scene in one sentence or two. Never fight fiercely to attract readers. If the plot has been developed and the characters are full, the popular protagonist may become a selling point in fighting, but it is not surprising that the stranger will not resonate with the readers and the readers will see more martial arts. Don’t write this quotation for a long time. If you reveal such one or two messages, it will complete its mission.
There are four methods that newcomers can consider to increase the attractiveness of the article. In fact, there is another way to attract readers by writing, describing close to life, and having a sense of humor. This kind of needs are not suitable for newcomers, so I won’t say much here.
In fact, not all of them need to show enough selling points in one scene, such as crossing, rebirth, soul-shifting and so on. They have their own particularity. Their selling point is that they can embody a name or a brief introduction outside the text, which is enough to tell readers that this is a historical novel that modern people crossed to a certain dynasty or that this is reincarnation and reappearance of life. This information body is already a selling point to let readers know where this point will be. It is not fatal to have a plain head or a stereotyped head.
Similar to human beings, especially the martial arts fan base, it is similar to the situation described above. It is natural to attract this kind of readers by revealing fan information in famous places, so that it is not a wonderful start, although it is also a bad thing, but it is not enough to sentence this death penalty.
In addition, there are some fantasy or urban power classes, if the name can reflect this special power, it can also alleviate the local pressure to a certain extent. For example, the name Spider-Man will be associated with the film Spider-Man at first glance, and readers will naturally think that this is a novel similar to urban power, so that even if the first chapter of the novel does not reflect the power component, readers will read one or two more chapters patiently.
Of course, what I’m saying is that it’s just not fatal to allow a general bureau. If you want to catch readers quickly and accumulate popularity in the early stage, it’s better to make it more compact.
There is also a kind of their situation, which is different but not in urgent need of exciting and intense games, especially urban life and urban romance. They don’t rely on the protagonist’s power to sell, nor do they rely on the protagonist to attract people. Such wonderful things often lie in fluent writing, humorous language, closeness to life, complicated and tortuous emotional entanglements, etc. These things are often reflected throughout the text, especially writing and language. Its selling point is the whole rather than relying on a certain element or a single plot to attract readers. This kind does not need a special one.
Finally, if the control is not good enough for newcomers, it is better to let the protagonist appear first and the protagonist’s name appear first in the movie, which is easier for readers to accept.
Pay attention to creating contrast conflicts.
Creating a reasonable contrast conflict is a key to success. I’ll steal a lazy copy of the previous editor’s note. It’s a note.
Today, I saw an old post in the forum commenting on the martial arts level of Jin Yong’s characters. I really didn’t have much interest in this kind of post, but from this post, I thought of a commercial writing feature, that is, strong contrast and huge contrast
Duan Yu and Qiu Chuji, who are the two men with high martial arts, who are weak and strong? I’m afraid all readers familiar with Jin Yong will choose Duan Yu, but the two men appeared in different times and different roots, so how can we know their strength? Moreover, from the performance of strength, Duan Yu and Qiao Feng are able to force the wine out when drinking, but Qiu Chuji and the seven eccentrics in the south of the Yangtze River can also force the wine out when drinking. From these appearances, they are in the same class, but readers obviously don’t think so. What is this?
Obviously, this is because of the contrast of characters. In The Condor Heroes, Qiu Chuji is just a second-rate master. In his opinion, whether ashes of time or Guo Jing Qiu Qianren is not in the same class as him, but in Dragon Department, Duan Yu is full of strength when his martial arts are ineffective, but he is a first-class master. It is the contrast of these virtual characters that gives readers a strong impression that Qiu Chuji’s martial arts are average and Duan Yu’s strength group is weak.
When we arrived in ashes of time, our first impression was almost always strong. Although these two people didn’t really perform many single-handed gravel stunts in school, their martial arts skills were deeply engraved in our minds. Compared with some novices who wrote martial arts, although they let the protagonist roar to the top of their lungs and let the protagonist perform as hard as a street performer, their strong readers finally made a question mark. After all, they are not as reassuring as ashes of time. Where are these gaps?
I think the gap lies not in the depiction of the first master in heaven, but in the depiction of the second-and third-rate masters in Wulin. When a film successfully portrays ordinary masters like the Seven Weirds in the South of the Yangtze River, and their images have penetrated into readers’ minds, the true seven, the iron corpse and the bronze corpse, and the four wonders in Wulin appear immediately, which form a solid contrast foundation. On this basis, if Jin Yong wants to highlight Huang Yaoshi’s strong roots, he will not describe Huang Yaoshi’s tree houses, such as being natural and unrestrained, pulling out trees and crushing stones, such as easily asking former masters, such as Qiu Chuji,
Whether it is martial arts novels or other types of novels, we can find these traces of contrast to a greater or lesser extent in any successful commercialization. Generally speaking, the stronger the fresh contrast, the greater the attraction.
The Japanese anime "Chess Soul" gives us a good demonstration. In "Chess Soul", the protagonist is a layman who doesn’t even know the rules of Weiqi, but the soul possessed by him is a former emperor Weiqi teacher and the first master in Weiqi. This sharp contrast gives readers great expectations for how much growth the protagonist will have in this soul.
In fact, the contrast in "Chess Soul" is not only here. For example, when the protagonist learns something, he is a completely weak person. However, if he listens to the soul’s command and lets the soul make moves, he will be a first-class master, which will form that the beginners of Go think that the protagonist is weak and despise him, while some top professional masters are completely impressed by the strength of the protagonist, which is a striking contrast to him. When those beginners and professional masters have the opportunity to get together, dramatic scenes naturally appear.
The contrast mode of Chess Soul can be extended to all kinds of novels, such as writing martial arts stories, or designing such a story. In the past, after the death of the first day, the soul was immortal and finally possessed by a teenager who went to a certain sect to seek art. The teenager had no foundation in martial arts, but the soul attached to him was a martial arts master. Such a strong contrast made it easy to show the story, such as the rapid progress of the teenager’s martial arts, the occasional display of martial arts genius, one and a half tricks, and others’ confusion about the level of the teenager’s martial arts …
Of course, Qian Qian’s way of creating contrast in writing is definitely not limited to this one. Compared with the theme of reincarnation and soul possession that has arisen in recent years, it is easier to show contrast, especially in the protagonist’s own contrast. This kind of protagonist has either changed his soul to someone else’s body or changed his own body many years ago, but in any case, the protagonist has this body, and his thoughts, knowledge, skills and so on will change significantly, forming a strong contrast before and after rebirth.
For example, recently, the abbot Gao Deshao Shaolin was reborn in another world and became a notorious flower male. In this way, in addition to the comparison of military force, that is, the Shaolin abbot’s martial arts skills are profound, and the flower male is not academic, it also reflects the comparison of moral values. The comparison between the Shaolin abbot’s strict adherence to discipline and the flower male is vicious and the flower male is inferior naturally comes out.
If this theme is reversed, a playboy will be reborn as an old monk with both virtue and virtue, so the contrast is still dramatic and still there. Of course, if the story is changed in this way, the novel writing must be changed accordingly because of the protagonist’s personality and other settings.
In fact, many unified models reflect the protagonist’s own changes. For example, many unified martial arts protagonists swallow some exotic fruits or get some peerless secrets, so that the protagonist’s current weakness and his future may be strong, and the reader’s appetite is hung up. Another more common commercial writing method-dressing up as a pig to eat a tiger-is actually a kind of protagonist’s own contrast. To be exact, the protagonist’s real strength is strong, and his false exposure is weak, which forms a strong contrast. Although it is old-fashioned, it is always attractive.
The contrast between the protagonist himself and others is naturally the contrast between the protagonist and others. This type is particularly prominent in the historical category. Because the protagonist went to ancient times, his knowledge and ideas formed a strong contrast with the world at that time. For example, if the story appears, it will naturally unfold and the attraction will come out.
In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that almost all commercial bridges reflect different forms of contrast. If there is no contrast, the appeal of the story will be very limited, unless the writer’s writing skills are particularly profound, it will almost be dull.
For example, it is very interesting to describe the Wulin master if he is a string of words, but it is very practical and vivid if there is a contrast object first and then the protagonist is stronger than him, and those who want to make him stronger can easily express it, because the reference master can fight for three days and three nights and blow him away in one breath. It will be easy to have a reference.
Similarly, if you just write about the protagonist defeating an enemy, you won’t feel too excited, but if you portray the opponent as powerful and hateful before the fight, write about the opponent’s contempt and bystanders’ disappointment before the fight, friends’ worries or the importance of this battle, and then cheer with friends who are shocked by the opponent and can’t believe the bystanders’ worship after the win … Such a contrast reader’s excitement will come immediately.
Total contrast is an essential element of commercial writing, and the first thing in martial arts is comparison; High popularity is also a series of contrast attraction. It is a business person who must consider how to create and expand contrast.
Make up four words
In fact, it is not without reason that old people are easy to apply for success. Generally speaking, they are more familiar with the rules and know how to do it. If they cater to it, the possibility of success is naturally greater. So how can they apply for success more easily?
First, the recommendation standard of Sanjiang is that the quality of literariness is the first, so if it is a simple yy stream that reduces the quality of words to a high level, you should generally not consider applying for Sanjiang. It is precisely because of this that there is a small link that if done well, it will help to improve the success rate of application, that is, try to make the page clean and tidy, make it look more formal, reduce the rate of typos, reduce oral language and network language, and make punctuation reasonable. These are all minor problems, but if you pay attention to it, it will be of great help to the success rate of application.
Secondly, the theme is also an important standard for Sanjiang audit. This fact is more important than words. It is not that some themes are easy to apply for success, but conversely, if some themes are involved, the application will definitely not succeed. Here, there are mainly political problems and pornography. This part of the general situation is not very serious and has not yet reached the standard of refusing storage, but obviously the Sanjiang standard will be stricter. If it is a class, especially the main line name, it will be ambiguous, suggesting that Sanjiang will not pass. In addition, it is also recommended by Sanjiang to apply for online games again.
Apart from words and themes, which are a little less important, creativity is still important. Generally speaking, it looks more novel and easier to pass the examination, but if you write old-fashioned themes and win by skill, it will be cut off under the same circumstances.
Last but not least, it is commercial, which is a less important factor. Commercial will be considered under the same conditions, that is, it will give priority to recommending more popular products.
Some points are physical problems, but there are still some things to pay attention to outside.
First, when applying for recommendation, according to Sanjiang regulations, the text must be over 70,000 words, but if it is too late, the standard will be the same, and if it is too late, the application will be given priority. Therefore, in general, it is more appropriate to apply when the number of words is between 70,000 and 150,000 words. If the scope is narrowed down, the application will be the easiest to pass when it is about 10,000 words.
In addition to the word count, there is also stress when applying, because every half week, especially on Thursday and Friday, all kinds of lists have been set, and Sanjiang recommendation is no exception. If you apply at this time, it is obvious that the list is already full of bases, so you will not consider it, so it is best to apply in half a week, that is, on Monday and Tuesday.
In addition, when applying for Sanjiang recommendation, be sure to fill in your name, especially your own couplet, so as to facilitate editing, otherwise the editor can’t find anyone who will suffer.
Finally, if the application is unsuccessful, don’t be discouraged. After all, Sanjiang doesn’t mean that the commercial application has failed. You can apply for signing another contract or apply for Sanjiang again after a while. It should be noted that it is best not to apply repeatedly in a short period of time. Because the application for review is repeated by the same editor, it will be rejected again and again, which will make the editor remember that it will be more difficult to pass in the future.
If you apply for signing a contract
Applying for vip signing is the same as applying for Sanjiang recommendation, but it is completely different from Sanjiang standard. After signing the standard, Sanjiang pays least attention to commerce and has high popularity potential, so even if the text is poor, even if there are more typos or a little scratch, it will not affect the vip application, and Sanjiang base will not consider the theme of martial arts fans, and it is also possible to apply for vip successfully.
In fact, what has commercial potential and what is easier to sign a contract successfully is the king’s face, so I won’t say much here.
I think about 100,000 words is the most suitable word except for applying for vip signing according to physical quality, but the specific number of words depends on the fact that you have shown enough selling points early, so it will be better to apply earlier, and those slow-heating types are best to wait until the plot exhibition shows the outstanding points.
Compared with Sanjiang application, when applying for vip, the problem is not considered. From Monday to Sunday, the application is editable and will be reviewed as usual.
In addition, I want to wake up two points here, both of which have been emphasized here. First, the failure of applying for Sanjiang recommendation and the low data will not affect the success rate of applying for signing contracts. Sanjiang does not mean business, but it is normal for editors to judge that it is commercial potential without recommendation, rather than showing it now. Second, it is best to reapply after applying for signing contracts fails. If you apply once a day, it will arouse the resentment of editors. After all, it is very limited to make changes in one day. It is hard for anyone to believe.
Nine, such as making friends with big names
I have read that it is more beneficial to exchange advertisements with those popularity, but popularity is behind popularity, and big names are often understood as being aloof, putting on airs, and playing with temper. Is it possible to advertise with them?
I think most of the people who have some difficulties but are not completely unfeasible are very kind, even those platinum people will not put up any fights, and they are polite to people. Of course, these people are often very busy, and most people rarely spend their time chatting. If you don’t know them, just go and add them and beg them to give advertisements. This is unwise and impolite.
