Chapter 16 Extracurricular Groups
Yue Qingyan was not that high in theory before, but now he has the skills to base himself and has the ability of a linguistic master. Linguistics itself is based on a large number of simple analysis of texts and data summary to discover rules. It can be said that although linguistics belongs to the category of the major liberal arts, in fact, its research methods and theories, in addition to a considerable part of the judgment, are actually not a liberal arts, but more like science and engineering.
However, when these foundations of linguistics are combined with his practice of writing novels, even Yue Qingyan himself did not know what kind of wealth this would be. Yue Qingyan's statement is basically based on the author's thinking, how to plan a story and how to organize a story from a creativity. He originally had the foundation of online writing, and online writing itself is a process of constantly filling it with various plot elements according to the outline.
In fact, the biggest difficulty in writing online articles is not to plan the story, but to execute the story. An experienced online article author will judge how similar and similar the creativity of a story is to others, where the source of the material comes from, and how the writing goal is pointed. However, even if you have experience, the problem of outline being too heavy is not avoided.
Anyone who has written an outline knows that the ideas at the beginning are the clearest and most detailed, but the further the distance, the less clear the thoughts are, and the detailedness of the outline will plummet. The degree of detail of the outline never depends on the complexity of the story, but on the depth of thinking of the author himself.
However, even if there is an outline, you will still encounter various problems when writing, such as the plot you thought about before, and when you write a better idea, such as the adjustment of a certain plot, the details of several characters, etc., which may involve the adjustment of the entire outline. The workload will be huge and terrifying. When Yue Qingyan was a gunman, it would not be impossible to write according to the outline, but it would need to be explained why not write according to the outline, and the consequences that may be caused by writing like this. After reading these things, the boss will make choices and decide whether it is possible. Over time, in order to avoid this trouble, everyone has developed the ability to write according to the outline no matter what. But if several people follow the same outline, don't count on the overall quality of the text. Even if the person who is in the draft is very good, he cannot completely correct the different understandings of the outline and setting of each participating author.
No two authors are completely consistent, and even the same outline will be handled differently in different authors. Small differences in handling and the inconsistency caused by a long period of time will become huge problems in the later stage. Readers may not find it at the beginning because their reading is not coherent and they have not accumulated enough comparison materials. But what if the readers are sensitive?
Some authors will write outlines in stages. Under the general outline, write outlines in stages in different stages, and then write detailed outlines and chapter outlines according to the stages. The outlines in each stage will be adjusted according to the existing text, which will avoid the adjustment of the general direction caused by their own creative adjustments to the greatest extent. However, this will give you a lot of workload. The outline of the next stage must be carried out with the current text and outline. Either analyze after the first stage, where adjustments may be needed, or you can mark the outline while writing to give hints to your subsequent modifications. Both of these require the author to have sufficient perception, analysis and execution of the text, and serious and persistent in his own writing.
However, even if there are differences, the overall methods of online writing creation are still the same. According to the outline, or at least the plot plan, various story plots are used to build the text in steps. For a qualified online writing author, it is calculated based on the consumption of two plots per chapter. The full text is 3 million words and 1,000 chapters, and then 2,000 different plots are needed to build it. It is not considered an additional consumption of important plot nodes to speed up the plot speed and increase the plot density. Authors who do not accumulate enough often empty themselves in the first half, and the second half of the text either feels like a lot of repetitive plots or just pour water without any slightest amount of time.
It is obvious that an author, a professional author, can't just write one book. If his plot mastery is only so small, it is impossible to avoid making people feel the same.
In the final analysis, any profession, any job, no matter what kind of author, in the end, they are all working hard to cultivate and accumulate.
However, this kind of spelling seems to be just physical work in many people. But if you want to master the number of specific plots and how to arrange and combine enough changes, the ability of top online writers can be said to be a perfect author of traditional literature. The specialty of traditional literature authors lies in digging depth, digging out the amount of text information, digging out more distinctive usages of implied meanings, and developing new narrative structures and models, etc.
Even so, as the younger generation of authors gradually enter the field of professional writing, the two gradually merge. Authors of traditional literature pay more and more attention to the readability and market dissemination of their works. There are also some authors in the field of online literature. Their writing styles are solid and refined, the structural tension is strong, and the depth of thinking is conveyed is very sufficient. Even because they have enough space, they truly have the epic quality.
Of course, this fusion is just a trend, and it is still a big rhythm that looks down on each other on the surface.
However, from the perspective of the writer, if you really analyze the work in a more detailed manner, you can indeed perceive a lot. Although literary and artistic theory is summarized and extracted from the works, on the other hand, if the results can be formed, it is not impossible to use to guide writing. However, pure literary and artistic theory cannot do this, but requires literary and artistic theory that is closely integrated with writing practice.
Yue Qingyan knew about this, otherwise he wouldn't have been waiting to take Jinchen's class from the beginning, and Jinchen also knew about it, otherwise he wouldn't have let the author, Yue Qingyan, add his ideas during class. And with these two items, both sides discovered: Oh? There is a way. This can really come up with some tricks.
For students, where can authors participate in their literary theory courses? After entering the Chinese department, they basically understand that it has nothing to do with being a writer. Many people from the Chinese department can’t write articles as well. However, in the Chinese department, after all, there are a group of people who are deeply influenced by literature, and at least their average literary literacy can pass the pass line. There is nowhere to be missing. People who also hope to be able to write things, and maybe they can still earn royalties.
As a person's name is such a small problem, it can make Yue Qingyan say such a truth, especially the "morphemes" mentioned by Yue Qingyan in the end, which really reveals that his academic level is probably not bad. The term morphemes are not something that ordinary people can tell at will.
Jin Chen knew that the students in the class would definitely be interested, so he asked: "Do you have any questions, classmates?"
A girl stood up and asked, "What about the second person? What should I do with the second person? Can't I use it to write novels?"
Yue Qingyan had a headache: "No, the second person is actually very fun, but it is very difficult. I just wrote an article in the second person. Teacher Jin, I will send it to you and pass it to the classmates. Can I tell you?"
Jin Chen nodded repeatedly: "Of course."
"The Story of Your Life" was posted in the class group. It was the first time Jin Chen read this article. As he read it, his feelings were wrong again. He was already surprised enough to read "The Broken Soul Gun" and "Red Rose and White Rose". At this age, it was already very amazing to be able to master the language habits of the Republic of China period. But this Yue Qingyan obviously is more than that. The short story he wrote in science fiction, more than 10,000 words, is really very exquisite. Moreover, he used this as a second-person model essay.
"The problem with the second person is: where does the author put himself? There should be a post-set problem in literary theory. After the role, but after the role, a problem arises in the second person: the second person needs to simulate the reader's observation order into the story. This is very embarrassing, because the character cannot fully simulate the language to talk about the whole story, and that is not the second person, but the dialogue. But to explain the story in the order of the readers and maintain the vision of the character, it involves the two, and there must be a special connection. To himself, this is a good way, or the author's post-set role, the author's post-set role is involved.
, is a special existence, and can follow this way. And I told myself that if it is not a diary, then there should be a special connection between the two myself. "The Story of Your Life" is actually a pleasing thing, because with the design of the entire story, we found that I can control the past, present, and future through language... In this way, the problem of personality is established. Or, if written in other personal terms, the structure of this story cannot be made at all." Yue Qingyan said: "Or, the second person is the text itself. This narrative is mainly used to enhance the presentation of content and is not functional enough. But it must be very touching to read. Of course, the difficulty will not be low."
Jin Chen smiled and said, "Do you understand?"
The girl who asked the question was Moersheng, who was the most literary guy in the class and really liked to write novels. Jin Chen reads her manuscripts a lot, but for some reason, there are always many inconsistencies in terms of structure and story of Moersheng's novels. Jin Chen herself is not the author of the novel. Although she can ask questions from a theoretical and empirical perspective, she does not have many tricks to correct them, and she doesn't know how she can tell Moersheng understands it.
Today, Jin Chen felt that Yue Qingyan's answers could probably answer some of Moersheng's questions.
Mooresheng nodded happily: "I understand, I understand."
The students in the class knew that Jin Chen was quite proud, not really capable, and it was difficult to get in touch. But after reading this novel by Yue Qingyan, although there was only one article, everyone was convinced. The structure, story difficulty, depth of thinking, etc. of "The Story of Your Life" is really not comparable to those of them. Even if they tell them the story, they may not be able to write such novels. At least, the second person method cannot be integrated so cleverly. Moreover, Yue Qingyan's ability to explain this shows that he did not write this inexplicably, or took a clever idea, but did this based on his understanding of the content, analytical and prepared. This is even more amazing.
"Teacher Yue, when will you come next time? I'll ask you for advice." said another boy named Li Feng.
"Teacher Yue?" Jin Chen looked at Yue Qingyan and asked with some jokingness: "What are the students asking you?"
"Ah? I will come to Teacher Jin's class in the future." Yue Qingyan said: "I hope to systematically scan the main courses of the Chinese Department. Forget about "Ordinary Linguistics", I'm about to learn to vomit. I'll come back for other courses that can be arranged."
"Why...will we organize a club or extracurricular group?" Mooresheng asked carefully.
"This is a good idea." Jin Chen said admiringly: "What do Teacher Yue thinks about it?"
Yue Qingyan thought for a while and nodded: "Yes. Don't bother me to call me a teacher. I'm not much older than you. I've just graduated less than a year. I just happened to come here often... I have exchanged with you, and many questions are also available for someone to ask for advice."
"I'll help you find a dormitory?" Jin Chen said: "You live too far. You run back and forth every day..."
"Teacher Jin... I still have to write articles. There is no way to write articles in the dormitory." Yue Qingyan naturally knew that it would take almost 3 hours to go back and forth every day, but there was really no way, unless he moved.
Although I am very grateful to Jin Chen for providing him with such learning opportunities, Yue Qingyan still thinks that it is better not to cause trouble for Jin Chen. Every move in the school is to be touching. There are many troubles in the university system, so I should think of a solution for some trouble.
"I will find time to move. It's indeed a bit far away there. I'll go find a house on the weekend." Yue Qingyan said: "I'll work harder these days."
Jinchen nodded.
