Chapter 23 Writing in Progress
After getting all the information about the preliminary round, Wen Xun felt a long sigh of relief. Although 5,000 words didn't sound like it was, it was like Wen Xun's reading of martial arts novels when he was a child, and he finished reading it in ten minutes. But it was quite long to write, and it was at least much easier to write than 1,000 words, right?
In this way, Wen Xun, who relaxed in his heart, naturally had a confident face. Even after he arrived at the school, he did not feel the surprised gaze of the students around him. The students around him all knew about Wen Xun and Zhang Lei's bet. Or at this time, almost all the school knew about this matter - who would really make such a bet? Once this bet appears, let alone who the two people who were betting, the news of the bet itself can emit a strong smell of 2b youth...
With a 2b youthful atmosphere, can you still expect this news not to spread throughout the school? Not to mention spread throughout the school, it is estimated that as time goes by, it will slowly spread throughout the high schools in Kaixian County, and then as all the high school students in Kaixian County go to colleges, it will spread to universities across the country...
However, after all the students in the school learned that the two people who were placing the bet this time were Zhang Lei and heard the news, everyone suddenly felt that this very 2B bet was a natural occurrence! Why? Zhang Lei himself is a very arrogant 2B young man, wasn’t he just coming from the national key? What’s the good guy? He even looks at people with nostrils every day? If it weren’t for Kaixian No. 1 Middle School as a key middle school, someone would have dealt with Zhang Lei long ago!
This guy is self-righteous all day long, and he said that he came to Kaixian because he wanted to reunite with his parents. Get out of here! Is he really stupid to be a student of No. 1 Middle School? Isn’t it because he can’t make it in Huanggang Middle School anymore, and his parents will transfer Zhang Lei to Kaixian?
Just when all the students in the school were very upset with Zhang Lei, it was not normal for Wen Xun, a natural "tiger-beating hero", to deal with Zhang Lei? What is Wen Xun's reputation in the whole school? That's simply Zhong Kui who beats ghosts and Wu Song who beats tigers!
Ordinary people get rid of the owner of the Political and Education Department who is more like a hooligan than a hooligan on the first day of entering the school? And the source is just because the teacher misunderstood him and said a few words in class. In this way, in the eyes of all teachers and students of the school, isn’t Wen Xun a nuclear-elastic personality with a strong sense of justice? As long as Wen Xun is a little disliked, he will definitely fight the tiger immediately!
So the bet between Wen Xun and Zhang Lei, which has a 2b youthful atmosphere, really made all teachers and students feel that it was "unexpected and reasonable"! Yes, in addition to the students, many teachers also knew about it. But these teachers did not say anything...
Because although Zhang Lei, who is good at studying, may increase the admission rate and reputation of Kaixian No. 1 Middle School in the future, who knows who will be his class teacher in the third year of high school? I don’t know who will be the last one to get the bargain. Why did the teachers come out at this time to stop Wen Xun from dealing with the 2b youth? They were also very upset when they saw Zhang Lei!
So, after the confident Wen Xun entered the classroom, he saw a classmate who had no communication with him. "Class Wen Xun, this is my experience of the first prize in the composition competition in the junior high school of No. 1 Middle School in the past few years. Although it is not a good thing, it is also a bit of thought..." The girl said to Wen Xun with a very concerned look.
"...Thank you?" Wen Xun couldn't react at this time. He subconsciously felt that he should have said thank you in this scene.
But before he could fully react, he saw that students from his own class and other classes came to encourage him. Some gave him essay selections, and some patted his shoulders to encourage him... Wen Xun was so angry! Are these people coming to choose to take the team?
Wen Xun glanced at Zhang Lei's location and found that Zhang Lei's 2b youth had not arrived yet. This made him feel a little regretful - this kind of scene where all teachers and students in the school choose to cheer for the camp, it is obvious that Zhang Lei, who is more happy, should see it with his own eyes...
However, Wen Xun didn't have time to stimulate Zhang Lei at this time. For him, Zhang Lei, a young man with much joy, was just a stone he kicked away on his way forward after hearing the news. There was nothing worth paying attention to, nothing worth paying attention to, nothing worth paying attention to.
Sitting in his own position, Wen Xun began to think about how to write his novel. Now he knows that the preliminary round submission required a length of 5,000 words, so it would be best if the whole story ended within 5,000 words. According to Wen Xun's own feelings, he believes that the story should be divided into 4 parts.
The first part is naturally the part where the four children gather together to start living together. In this part, the four children get to know each other and then start dating, forming a relationship similar to childhood sweethearts, but the four people have different identities. At the end of the first part, the four children know that they like people, and finally end with the son of a long-term worker leaving home to join the Communist Army.
The second part is the Liberation War, and the fate of the four people began to change. The People's Liberation Army fought to a nearby county town, and the landlord hurriedly "released" the female lead and recognized the female lead as his adopted daughter. The son of the Changgong worker became the squad leader in the army and became a comrade of the People's Liberation Army. The son and daughter of the landlord who had always maintained a high status had to keep a smile on the two of them.
The third part is that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the son of Changgong married the free female lead as he wished, but at the same time, the son and daughter of the landlord's family became patriotic capitalist. Soon, the war of resisting U.S. aggression and aid Korea broke out, and Changgong's son went to the battlefield again. The female lead was worried all day long, afraid of hearing the news of her husband's death. At this time, the landlord's son and daughter began to make fake medicine and sold it to the country as military supplies and made a fortune!
The last part is that in the middle of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the son of a long-time worker who was blown off and one leg was discharged from the army and returned to his hometown and became a cadre of the police force in his hometown. However, the landlord's son and daughter, and son-in-law were sentenced or shot for making fake medicines as military supplies...
After these four parts were separated, Wen Xun simply felt that she was a natural novel. It was really not a lie. Look at the four parts Wen Xun divided like this, does it look like a blockbuster scene? The first part gave the audience warm joy. At the end of the first part, it suddenly changed, and the rhythm became exciting, attracting the audience's attention.
The second part starts to surprise the audience to see the changes in their identities, begins to change from inequality to equality, and finally there is a small ending similar to a happy ending.
However, in the third stage, the fate of the three people began to change again. The male lead female lead just now became better, and the male lead female lead was in a "difficult situation" again, while the "second male lead" and "second female lead" on the contrary seemed to usher in another spring. This stage can definitely arouse the audience's appetite and prepare for the finale of the fourth part.
Now, Wen Xun feels that his outline can be changed directly into a movie script!
After happily looking at the structure of his work for a while, Wen Xun began to plan further. He was not a professional novel, nor had he learned how to write novels systematically. However, he subconsciously felt that writing such a long thing would probably have to plan the number of words in each part in advance.
Now he does not have any strong operating ability, so he simply decides to divide the 5,000 words equally in four parts. In this way, each part is more than 1,200 words.
After seeing this, Wen Xun began to find it a bit difficult. Although he thought it was quite a lot when he looked at 5,000 words at first, but now he only has 1,200 words in a part, and he has to be divided into four people to write. This is equivalent to each person allocating 300 words, and he has to describe his or her fate changes in the past few years...
Just thinking about this, Wen Xun felt that he couldn't write a dialogue anymore. Because if he wrote a dialogue, these 300 words would definitely not be enough to describe the scenes in this part! In this way, it seems that he could only use a similar plot introduction to the storyline to describe it hard...
In this way, there is no way to add more descriptions and cannot fully portray characters... Although Wen Xun himself has no writing style, he still feels that he has to use some space to portray characters after reading many novels. But think about it again, in fact, the disadvantage of the small number of words is only beneficial but not harmful to Wen Xun in some aspects!
Why? Because Wen Xun is less basic than other students who are good at writing! He cannot describe a landscape like a flower, or a scene in gorgeous language. He cannot describe it in the shortest and simplest language like Jin Yong. He cannot describe the image that impresses readers the most.
But does this word count just allow Wen Xun to avoid the description? Wen Xun could only use language similar to history books to describe the fate of the four people. In this way, the reviewer would definitely feel that Wen Xun could not fully describe it because of the space limitations, not because he was not strong enough!
In addition, Wen Xun wrote novels directly, and how many of his peers in the country dared to write novels in composition competitions? They only dared to shrink their eggs to write essays. Is there any reason? Such a leading idea, coupled with the teacher's misunderstanding, can't we get a high score?
Wen Xun became happier the more he thought about it, but he didn't know that he was inadvertently meeting the standard procedures in literary creation!
Just like the painter needs to divide the approximate area on the canvas before painting to make a plan for a global plan, the writer should also have such a process when writing novels. However, because the novel does not have a specific word limit, the writer sometimes does not need to plan deliberately.
