Chapter 8 I am asking you to praise me
To write a story, you must first write an outline, sort out the context, and then fix the details before writing. This is also Li Da's habit.
Li Da never wrote an outline when he was writing essays in high school, but later he wrote Internet articles that were often worth millions in length. Without an outline, he would forget about the pitfalls he had dug before.
This is also normal. It usually takes an author three to four months to write a million-word article, which is relatively fast. However, if a reader is a cultivator, he or she can finish it in a few days.
So sometimes readers will question the author's soul: Do you still remember Xia Yuhe on the shore of Daming Lake?
In short, write the character first.
Li Da decided to write a novel with a female protagonist. Since it is for teenagers to read, the element of love must be included.
But there is nothing touching about the love between a man and a woman. At this time, two male protagonists are needed.
Love triangle is the way to go.
The character of the female protagonist should make people feel immersed in her, but the male protagonist is different. You can do whatever you like.
Li Da thought about it for a while and then wrote down the settings on the paper.
The first male is handsome, rich, cold on the outside but passionate on the inside. He loves the heroine to the core but is too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Well, girls like this kind of setting. In fact, this character is of the same gender, female, beautiful, rich, cold on the outside, hot on the inside, loves the male protagonist to the core, but is a tsundere.
Everything is focused on the first condition, beauty.
Next is the second male lead, who is at least competitive with the first male lead. He is handsome first, has a gentle personality, is sunny and outgoing, is considerate, and also likes the female lead very much.
The characters are the essence of the story. Once the settings are completed, their triangular relationship begins.
Because the first male is not good at expressing, the female protagonist does not know the other's affection. Then the first male and the second male become very good friends with the female protagonist, and then the relationship heats up. The second male discovers that the male one also likes the female protagonist, but dare not say it.
I also know that the second male lead likes the female lead.
Only the heroine in the audience was naturally dumbfounded.
The first male character has a cold personality and retreats repeatedly due to a reason that can be made up at will. The second male character senses the crisis and leaves early. The female protagonist is confused and has a crush on the second male character, so the two become lovers.
Next, the male protagonist is in pain and has conflicts with his friends, thus letting the heroine know that her true love is the male protagonist. However, the male protagonist decides to study abroad in order not to hurt her friend's feelings.
Although the topic of going abroad will be worn out in the future, it is indeed very useful.
But on the eve of going abroad, the heroine, who decided to face up to her feelings, found the hero. Then the two parties vented their emotions fiercely, and they knew each other's feelings, and then some indescribable things happened.
In the finale, the first male went abroad, and the female protagonist told the second male about the matter with guilt, and then the two of them sent the first male abroad together.
There is no need to say clearly what happened to the second male lead and the female lead in the end, it is best to leave them in suspense.
After reading the outline, Li Da was basically satisfied.
The story contains fierce conflicts of love and friendship, as well as environmental protection. More importantly, no one gets a good ending in the end.
The so-called tragedy is to destroy beautiful things for others to see. Li Da still understands it very well. There is definitely nothing wrong with this story!
However, the visual sense seems a bit strong.
Li Da became excited, picked up his pen and started writing with a stack of letter paper.
The grid of the exercise book is too small, and it will be troublesome to turn the pages. Li Da has already thought about it. After writing the manuscript, he still needs to delete it, and then go to the Internet cafe to type on the keyboard during the holiday. Before that, there will definitely be more
Modified.
Luo Dongqing started watching Li Da when he started writing the outline.
Mainly because I was bored. I didn’t want to listen to the lectures, and it was pointless to play with my mobile phone. I had slept enough, so I had no choice but to pass the time in a daze. While passing the time, I saw Li Da writing and drawing non-stop, and occasionally showing off very disturbing expressions.
An understanding smile.
What is this doing?
Li Da had entered a state of selflessness, and his thoughts were flowing, and his writing was flying. After class, Li Da did not leave the classroom. The next class was a history class, so Li Da got up for a while, and then continued to write furiously.
It wasn't until the end of the history class that Li Da finally put down his pen.
Don't ask, it's just because your hands are sore.
I estimated the number of words I wrote, and it was probably just over a thousand words.
High school students usually have one hour to prepare an 800-word essay, which is already considered fast for Li Da. However, thinking back to the days when he had a keyboard, Li Da felt heartbroken.
He estimated that this story would require at least 20,000 to 30,000 words, all written in pen, which would be too painful...
But there is no other way, who told him not to have a keyboard?
Handwriting efficiency is indeed very low, but Li Da has no other solution.
Seeing Li Da stop writing, Luo Dongqing stared at the manuscript in Li Da's hand without saying anything, just looking at it.
Li Da felt a little funny and said, "Want to see it?"
Luo Dongqing nodded.
"Take a look and evaluate it by the way."
"Thanks."
Luo Dongqing took it happily and looked at it word by word.
Although it is a draft, Li Da's handwriting is pretty good. Some words may not be easy to recognize, but it is not difficult to judge the meaning based on the context.
However, it's a bit short.
Luo Dongqing read it with great interest, but when he saw where he stopped writing, he felt very unhappy again.
I want to read the rest, but Li Da obviously hasn’t written it yet.
Li Da had been waiting for her evaluation, so Luo Dongqing returned the draft to him and said: "It's quite interesting, but this man is a bit annoying."
The second male lead has not yet appeared, and Luo Dongqing is complaining about the first male lead.
It seems that Luo Dongqing doesn't like that kind of domineering and cold-hearted boy. Many little girls nowadays like this kind of boy. Female videos even created a vocabulary specifically for this kind of male protagonist.
Evil, charming and crazy.
This word and horror occupy the male and female channels respectively.
Li Da smiled and didn't mind the comment.
Luo Dongqing added: "I think your plot is unreasonable. The male protagonist is so cold and rude, and the female protagonist still cares for him patiently. It's so unrealistic. In reality, people like the male protagonist are
No friends."
Li Da's smile gradually stiffened. He did not discuss the plot with Luo Dongqing, but asked: "Do you know the two types of readers an author likes and hates?"
Before Luo Dongqing could react, he asked blankly: "Which two kinds?"
"One is to post comments after reading it, pointing out the shortcomings here and there, and how it should be written. The other is to just comment on how well written it is."
Hearing this, Luo Dongqing immediately understood. He couldn't help but look at Li Da with wide eyes, snorted heavily, then sorted Li Da's manuscripts and gently placed them on his desk.
"You asked me to evaluate it!"
"I want you to find a way to praise me."
"puff!"
Luo Dongqing, who was a little angry at first, couldn't help laughing.
Chapter completed!
