Chapter 290 The Great Three-Year Covenant Theory
“A long chapter of a harem novel? What is this?”
All the Qingqiu Foxes frowned, very confused, and didn’t quite believe it. This kind of thing can be done without detailed descriptions or explicit physical contact, and it can also write good color novels.
Xu Gu did not speak directly, but said in a roundabout way: "First of all, let's talk about the long story.
"I read the article you wrote, I can say..."
Before Xu Gu could finish his words, a group of veteran drivers and foxes were rushing to the front, saying with great excitement and anticipation:
"How is it? Very good, right?"
"I must have learned something. A lot of knowledge, right?”
“Do you want to give us a salary increase?”
“…”
Xu Gu: "..."
"It's really great." Xu Gu smiled knowingly and praised: "It's okay to raise the salary."
"Yeah!"
< br>“Long live!”
“Xu Shanzhu Shengming!”
All the Qingqiu Foxes were extremely excited and delighted.
Is there anything more joyful than a salary increase and recognition of your work?
“Stop!” Xu Gu felt dizzy for a while and quickly stopped him, saying, “I’m off topic! We’ll talk about the salary increase later.”
As he said that, he was afraid of this group of people. The fox grabbed the conversation again and said directly: "I have read your works. Although the writing is very good and the descriptions are wonderful, they can be rated as works of art.
"It's a pity that it is too short. ”
"Too short?"
The leader Qingqiu Fox was surprised and said in astonishment: "Isn't it right? Our works are already long enough!"
"That's right! Our works , all the time The longest one in my career!”
“Each article has eight thousand words!”
“And you can’t keep writing too long. If you write too long, it will seriously slow down your performance. Readers’ impressions! ”
Other Qingqiu foxes began to answer and expressed their opinions.
“Stop.” Xu Gu felt dizzy again. These foxes were arguing so loudly that it was as if they were visiting a shopping mall!
At one point he wanted to drive out all these foxes, leaving only one leader, the boss fox.
But considering that these foxes were all excellent writers, and I was giving them lessons instead of having a meeting, I finally resisted the urge.
However, when he heard a fox say that an article was eight thousand words long, Xu Gu almost stopped and laughed out loud.
"Eight thousand words? Are you asking for food?" Xu Gu said: "I will tell you a number, and you will write towards this goal from now on."
"How many?"
Foxes He raised his ears, a little curious.
I also want to know how big the long story Xu Gu mentioned can be!
“A piece of eight million words.” Xu Gu said calmly.
"Eight million words? Not 800? Not 80,000? But 8 million?"
After hearing this, all the foxes looked at Xu Gu as if he were a fool. They might still be able to accept the words, as long as they add a few more gestures to each article.
But eight million words cannot be written even if they kill them.
Moreover, no reader can read it for so long!
Based on their experience, most readers should be able to read just a few thousand words.
Then, I won’t be interested in watching it for a short time.
"No, no, no." Xu Gu said with a smile: "You guys, the layout is too small. Let alone eight million words, if you write well, you can write even 80 million words!"< br>
The writer and the reader are both practitioners. Who is not hundreds of years old?
In the previous life on earth, readers and writers could only live for tens or hundreds of years. There were countless books with millions of words, and there were also a lot of books with tens of millions of words.
If you don’t write hundreds of millions of words, won’t you be worthy of your status as a practitioner?
"Huh? Eighty million words?"
The foxes thought Xu Gu was crazy.
Sure enough, there is no one who is not crazy when cultivating immortals, especially if the mountain master in front of him is still a demon cultivator, the probability of going crazy is even greater.
Xu Gu: "..."
Next time you look at me like this, can you restrain yourself a little?
Do you really think that I am a demon who is easy to talk to?
Xu Gudao: "I can understand your doubts about this word count.
"This is what I want to say next.
“The current market environment no longer allows for the kind of erotic novels you wrote before.”
“This is true.”
< br>
"Some of the booksellers I cooperated with have been closed down."
"Although, after your guidance, Master Xu Shan, we have added a large number of illustrations of interesting clothes to the recently written manuscripts to enhance the freshness. The feel, the quality is amazing, and the reviews are rave.
“But because of the ban by the imperial court, sales did not increase but decreased. "
The foxes agreed very much, nodded repeatedly, and complained to Xu Gu.
I hope the omnipotent mountain master can help them!
If the court allows the ban to continue like this, they will really lose their jobs! How will you support yourself then?
Xu Gudao: "Since the imperial court has banned it, we won't write it."
"Huh?"
The foxes were stunned and very surprised.
Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Are you going to stop banning it from the imperial court? Are you still not a devil? The more restrictive the court is, the more it should do?
The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!
"What are you looking at?" Xu Gu said: "I am a demon cultivator, not a show of IQ. Now that the righteousness is prosperous and the country is powerful, you are going against the imperial court? Isn't there something wrong with your brain?"< br>
What’s more, the court’s ban was proposed by me.
Am I against myself?
Xu Gu said directly: "That's why I want to tell you how to write a soft romance novel that has no details, will not be banned, but can be popular."
"Xu Shan "Master, what do you say?"
The leader of the fox said.
Xu Gudao: "Color is attractive and everyone likes to see it.
"But if you want to write about color, you can't just write about color.
"You have to write about emotions, you have to write about growth, you have to write about life."
"Hiss!"
The foxes were stunned and took a breath of air-conditioning.
The mountain owner is indeed crazy.
You actually want to discuss philosophy in a color storybook novel, what kind of sublimation!
Afterwards, everyone once again showed a look of looking at an idiot, and some even laughed mercilessly.
"???" Xu Gu stared and said quietly: "Do you believe that I can peel off your skin and make it into a carpet?"
"Whoa!" In an instant, all the foxes They all became obedient, sat upright, widened their eyes, and looked at Xu Gu attentively.
“You must change your thinking, and you can’t just think about writing about color. At least the main frame cannot be color.”
Xu Gu continued: "Let me give you a simple example. You can write a story where the main frame is the growth of a teenager."
The leader Qingqiu Fox hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "No one likes to watch a teenager Growth stories are too boring, because everyone has to experience this so-called growth.
"The various story novels on the market are either grand enough, or sufficiently surprising and suspenseful.
"Not to mention, we still write color novels. This kind of subject matter is impossible to work and no one wants to read it."
She was already disappointed with Xu Gu.
Although Xu Gu has amazing wisdom in other aspects, when it comes to writing color novels, they are experts, while Xu Gu is just a layman.
Expert guidance for laypeople? Just ridiculous.
If Xu Gu hadn’t taken them in and given them well-paying jobs, and was a big demon who killed people without blinking an eye and ate people without spitting out their bones, they probably wouldn’t have stayed here to listen to what Xu Gu said. A pile of nonsense and a waste of time.
"Just listen." Xu Gu interrupted the other party and said: "This boy lived in a small town. He was originally a genius, but one day he suddenly lost his cultivation and could no longer Promotion.
"He has been reduced to useless.
"At this time, his fiancée, who was an earth spirit root, asked him to break off the engagement, making him a laughing stock. The whole family even ridiculed him, and some uncles even joined forces with other clan elders to deprive him of his position as young master.
“Life has hit rock bottom.
"At this moment, the young man unexpectedly discovered that the reason why he became a useless person was not that there was something wrong with his body, but because he had accidentally obtained a treasure before! This treasure was awakening, and then separated. Take away his magic power.
“Now, this treasure has awakened and will make him soar into the sky! "
As he spoke, Xu Gu watched and listened in fascination. They all took part in it, and they were very angry. The foxes who were looking forward to the young man's counterattack said: "Do you still feel that no one wants to see a person's face? growing up? ”
The foxes came out of their emotions and were immediately amazed.
Looking at Xu Gu with great shock.
They always thought that Xu Gu was an outsider, but now it seems that they were so wrong!
This is simply everyone!
In just a few words, he described an extremely wonderful story. He described the boring growth story that no one liked with gusto, and made them all look forward to the next chapter!
"I was wrong before. Compared with Master Xu's amazing wisdom, I look extremely stupid." The leader of the fox spoke in shock and admiration. She had a vague understanding.
It seemed that he had guessed what Xu Gu really meant.
I think this is an idea that is about to subvert the entire color storybook industry!
Xu Gu did not pay attention and continued: "When the protagonist is bullied, the readers will become involved and instinctively want to take revenge!
"So, this opening story is You can write it like this.
"The young man was humiliated by his fiancée who broke off the engagement, but the young man couldn't defeat Di Linggen's fiancée, so he couldn't take revenge directly.
"We made a three-year agreement.
"The following chapter is about the young man going through many adventures, many hardships, and many ups and downs, and finally grows up to the point where he can fulfill the three-year agreement. He finally completes his revenge.
"During the period, There are also constant little 'bullying and revenge' plots.
"Lest the process of the young man completing this three-year agreement be too boring and no readers would like to read it.
"For example, there are disciples in the family who bully and laugh at the young man, but their strength is obviously weaker. The young man does not need to take three years to train, but only needs three days to get revenge.
"After all, there is Treasure' Well.
“After taking revenge on the people in the family, one would go out to obtain cultivation resources, and then be bullied by the same people who robbed the resources, and then kill the people who robbed the resources. Go to other places to practice with big forces, and then be bullied by the people in the sect. People bully and then take revenge.
"After a series of small "bullying and revenge", the young man successfully fulfilled his three-year agreement and defeated his opponent. ”
“This story will definitely be exciting. ”
All the foxes were breathing rapidly and their eyes were shining. They were all experts and knew that writing like this would definitely produce results.
"But what happens after the three-year agreement?" A fox asked: "These pages only feel like hundreds of thousands of words. What will I do after I finish them?"
This is far away. Far from eight million words!
The corner of Xu Gu's mouth raised. This was the most important part, and he said: "Continue the three-year agreement."
"Huh?!"
All the foxes were stunned and extremely surprised. Don’t you think the readers are fools?
The three-year agreement is completed, another three-year agreement?
Xu Gu shook his head and said: "Why don't you know how to adapt? The core is to continue writing the three-year agreement, but the form of expression must be changed!
"Complete Three Years On the way to the appointment, he accidentally provoked a more powerful enemy. For example, my wife died, my master was arrested, etc.
"In this way, after completing the three-year agreement, everyone will expect the young man to grow up to the point where he can defeat more powerful enemies, resurrect his wife, and rescue his master."
"I understand!"
The leader of the fox understood instantly, with an expression of sudden understanding, and his whole body was trembling, as if a door to a new world had opened.
Eight million words are all about three-year appointments, big and small!
The big three-year covenant is a small three-year covenant. Before the big three-year covenant is over, a new big three-year covenant will be made, and it will continue like this.
Until I become an immortal and become an ancestor, until I ascend to the immortal world, until I break the immortal world...
"Yes! You are worthy of being the writers I chose." Xu Gu was very pleased and marveled at their understanding.
"Then it seems to have nothing to do with the color, right?" A fox said in surprise.
Xu Gu nodded slightly and said: "Even if you don't add color, many people will definitely read the content written like this.
"But adding color can reduce the foundation of writing.
“You can add some color first, and when you get comfortable later, you can also leave out the color.”
The color must be written in the early stage. He also hopes that these soft and sentimental harem pleasure articles can be promoted and popularized, and they can bring about his own interests!
The foxes nodded.
"How to add color?" A fox asked.
Although they are experts at writing about color, they have never written a novel in this form, and they don’t know how to insert color.
“It’s very simple.” Xu Gu said: “How can a successful man not be surrounded by women?
"Add more beauties!
"In every new place, arrange a beauties for the protagonist. "
As he spoke, Xu Gu's voice suddenly rose, and he said very solemnly: "Attention! There can be many confidantes! But we must not let them have a relationship easily!
“You must focus on describing the process.”
“Describe the process? If there is no relationship, how can we write about the process?”
A fox was surprised.
"???" Xu Gu raised his eyebrows, what process are you talking about?
Xu Gu did not dwell too much and continued: "The process of the protagonist capturing the confidante and reassuring him! In this process, you must learn to pull! The relationship must be distant and close!
"Of course , the overall relationship is still close.
“Humans are very magical creatures. The easier it is to get, the more they will despise it no matter how valuable it is. The harder it is to get, the more we cherish it.”
"I understand what you mean." The leader of the fox nodded and said seriously: "The mountain master means to enhance the reader's sense of gain! Describe those confidants as more precious."
"Yes. !" Xu Gu said appreciatively.
The leader of the fox continued: "This process can also be applied to the theory of 'three-year agreement and three-year agreement'."
"A staged beauties can be determined. Confidant, focus on describing her, focusing on the process of the protagonist capturing her heart.
“But this process should not be too hasty or too slow, it should be appropriate. If it is too short, people will not cherish it. If it is too long, people will be bored.
"At the same time, during this period, the protagonist can also easily have relationships with some characters who are not too important, adding interest and freshness, and avoiding boring.
"When the confidante at this stage is almost completed, introduce it The next stage of sexual confidante. ”
“That’s right! "Xu Gu clapped his hands excitedly. He is indeed a genius in this field!
He can draw inferences from one example!
