Mary tilted her head and thought for a while, "If you talk about the latest genre, the one I can think of is the consciousness genre. It is eclectic in terms of creative techniques and content. If the teacher hadn't restricted the 'unprecedented' theme, I might have

Start from this direction.”

Huh? Stream of consciousness literary creation is just like the PPT money-saving flow animation of the old thief in the new house, using some fragmentary thoughts and scattered words to enhance the atmosphere.

This definition is originally a term from psychology and is used to describe the continuous flow of human consciousness. It is most natural to use the metaphor of a 'river' or a 'flowing water' to express it.

But whether this thing is a literary genre or a creative method has been debated for a long time. In fact, it is difficult to be regarded as a literary genre in the strict sense. On the one hand, it is recognized as one of the most recognized stream-of-consciousness writers.

There was no creative communication between them, no declaration was issued to set out a common purpose, and no specific organization was formed.

On the other hand, stream-of-consciousness literature has been developing for a long time. This method has been used in literary creation very early. There are also stream-of-consciousness literary works appearing in different regions and different periods, but they are mostly a way of expression, with plots and extremes.

At the expense of downplaying, the things behind the curtain of novel language are presented.

I took the book and flipped through two pages, "What about the content of the creation? It is much more difficult to draw materials from stream-of-consciousness literature than to make it up randomly. It requires personal experience to touch the reader's empathy, and it also needs to use appropriate structure to spread out.

Not a messy association..."

The girl in a dress picked up the delicate tea cup and shook it gently.

"For example, rural life? The things here feel very novel to me, and maybe they can give me some inspiration."

She thought for a moment and then said, "Especially this book that my mentor gave me. The story has a vigorous vitality. It is really immersive and actively explores and colonize."

When I heard her say this, I glanced up and found that the book in her hand had been quietly changed from a literary creation theory book to "Robinson Crusoe".

"This book is indeed a good way to pass the time, but did you know? After staying on the island for such a long time, the prototype character of this book almost lost his language and social skills, and when he was finally rescued, he was incompatible with society.

In the final analysis, he is just a hapless privateer, far less energetic than what is written in the book."

I poured cold water on it.

Mary didn't care much, "There is always a difference between literary creation and real life. Excessive emphasis on reality or emphasis on ideals will fall into clichés. I understand this."

I lowered my head and said, "Just understand. In the end, writing novels is a dead end, so it's better not to take it too seriously."

When it comes to creation, I can’t help but add.

"Not only that, I find that work related to writing is a pain in the ass. Usually when I read a novel, there is always a real story of feeding Xiang on my knees; when I play a game, my father is shot in the head by a golf ball.

A novel plot that can also lead to reconciliation. If you read a comic, hundreds of dark Batmans will pop up lining up to be shot, and the villain always says, "I predicted your prediction..."

The Akarin girl looked at me doubtfully, "Are you talking about the same theme?"

The more I talked, the more excited I became, "Even if I don't read the superhero comics, I'll watch some live-action TV series. It turns out that the movie is a live-action version of the 'Bechdel' test! It makes my scalp numb!"

Mary asked softly: "The Bechdel test? What is that?"

I pulled my hair and said: "That is a set of inexplicable film creation standards, which mainly include three core criteria: there must be at least two female characters in the film, there must be a dialogue between them, and the subject of the dialogue must be related to men.

It has nothing to do with testing whether there is discrimination against women. If you look at these three conditions, they all smack of political correctness, and you have to add black people plus ethnic minorities plus transgender people plus religious people..."

I closed the book tightly and said, "You think it's not too much to say that I want to watch something normal? I always combine such messy standards to destroy creation. Should I be making a movie here or raising gu to stack buffs here?"

!”

Mary didn't answer, and probably didn't understand what I was talking about. She silently picked up the teacup and moved it away from me to avoid harming the fish.

I lay weakly on the table and pushed the book in my hand to the side. "I thought later that it would be better for me to watch domestic movies. Even if the subject matter is a little childish, there won't be such nonsense. In the end, I just missed seeing the US military."

The pilot shouted 'love and peace' and jumped out of the plane across the battlefield to save the enemy! What the hell is this!"

Mary finally noticed something was wrong with me and asked softly: "You seem to have a lot of opinions on literary works? Unfortunately, I haven't read any of the things you mentioned. Where can I see them?"

This...dream?

"Well... it's not important. I just want to tell you that everyone can come up with so many weird tricks just by taking detours. Your attempt to create a literary creation is actually much simpler than you think. For example, your

The instructor only talked about novel and unprecedented themes, but never said that it should be welcomed by the market or recognized by critics, right?"

I gradually figured out this idea, "In this era, it is valuable to do extremely well, and there is nothing to be ashamed of if you do extremely poorly. The most terrifying thing is to do extremely mediocre work, and no one will even scold you! If you don't

There is no way to guarantee that the idea is 100% correct, so why not work in the opposite direction that is 100% wrong - anyway, it is 100%, and it is also a stable result!"

Mary looked at me with a troubled face, "But...does this novelty make sense?"

I advised: "Don't care if it makes sense or not, just do it! The story cannot fall into a cliché, so the highlight should be the impermanence of the world. Your instructor gave you this assignment because he probably knows that you have read a lot of works.

, I am afraid that you will fall into the intellectual barrier surrounded by knowledge, and what you think and write are completely clichés left by the predecessors, and have nothing of your own. Right?"

Mary nodded and said, "Yes, I think that's what the instructor means too!"

"That's right. This kind of story of summarizing the experience of predecessors and finding one's own path is simple to tell. But to truly achieve it, I'm afraid it will take decades of practice. Only by relying on the accumulation of experience can we have a perfect understanding of everything.

It’s a unique understanding of harmony. But you’re lucky, I happen to have another way to achieve this!”

"Eh? He looks very powerful!"

"For example, you just said that the most novel novel is a stream of consciousness novel. Then you can write a novel without conscious manipulation from beginning to end. You can call it 'tool flow'!"

"Ah? How can we promote the growth of this character without thinking? Do we rely on instinct?" Mary said in surprise.

I categorically rejected: "No! Instinct and subconsciousness are also a type of consciousness. The purpose of the 'Tool Migration' novel is that there is no inherent logic, plot promotion, atmosphere and clichés are all abandoned, and the decision is completely dependent on external forces. For example...

Just use dice to decide! When encountering something, roll a 1 point to indicate passive escape, and roll a 6 point to indicate active resistance. In this way, the whole story will jump repeatedly in inconsistencies and inconsistent logic, and no one can guess it.

The rest of the story!”

Mary gradually understood what I meant and asked tentatively, "Determine the fate of the characters in a completely random way? This is a story that I have never seen before..."

I haven't seen it anywhere before? Isn't it like this when running a group? It's common to kill gods and demons as soon as you get out of the novice village when your luck is good. When your hands are dark, you will fail consecutive judgments and be killed by slimes. This is a common thing.

"Also, although your mentor didn't say what the written content is useful for, I already have a complete business model. Do you want to hear it?" I asked.

Mary nodded quickly and repeatedly, with an expectant expression on her face.

I slowly said: "First of all, this story should not be ended easily. It must leave an open ending. For example, it may end abruptly when the protagonist's important family members are caught by the villain and are about to be beaten to death with a crowbar, and then

There is a readers' vote on the last page of the book, and everyone is encouraged to cut it out and mail it in, and use the votes to decide whether the characters in the book live or die!"

"Vote? Why?" Mary asked puzzledly.

I said confidently: "As long as you find a reliable publisher, he will know what to do. Voting can mobilize the enthusiasm of readers. At this time, you can open a special section in the newspaper to regularly calculate the ratio of dead and alive.

, you have to deliberately falsify it, pretending that the number of votes is very close, and in the end, I regret to inform everyone that the final outcome is total annihilation..."

After listening to what I said, Mary's originally indifferent expression suddenly became richer. Perhaps she put herself into the reader's perspective, and she immediately protested in a low voice: "Wouldn't that make me a street rat?"

I slowly shook my head and said: "It's simple. Let's release the bad ending as usual. When the attention of the incident reaches its peak, we will then stand up and say that we found a large number of readers' forged votes, and we need to invalidate them all and vote again! In this way, this book

The sales volume of the book can double again, and it can also win unanimous cheers and applause from readers!"

I raised the book in my hand and placed it in front of him, "You see, at this time, this novel is no longer the author's fantasy and fiction. On the one hand, it has a story that is completely consistent with probability through random voting.

The plot, on the other hand, has the nature that so many people collectively voted to create it, and every reader will think that this is their brainchild! This book is bound to become the best-selling landmark book on the market!"

...The other half I didn't say is that the author of this book may become the savior of countless blade manufacturers.

In my memory, this kind of gameplay is already tired of the comic industry and the fandom talent show, but it is still very new in this era. Just this kind of entertainment-to-death spirit will take them decades to develop.

Touch the edge.

Mary thought for a while and said, "The writing threshold is very low, and the subject matter is indeed very novel. But how can we ensure that it will not be plagiarized?"

Reading a writer's work is like choosing a cook to cook, what you eat depends on your taste.

Some people attract readers with their imagination, some gain recognition with their writing, and some focus on a certain subject and become unshakable masters. How to ensure the leading position in the industry has been a problem since ancient times.

I said nonchalantly, "There is no need for guarantees. Plagiarism problems are impossible to avoid. Countless follow-up works will naturally appear on the market. But at this time, taking a step early is the biggest advantage. As the earliest and most popular works,

, what you have to do is not to refuse others to imitate, but to actively open up copyrights, encourage secondary creation for a fee, and turn closed-source stories into an open-source world. The more people write, they will invisibly create profits for you. You will spend the rest of your life.

You can become a master without even putting a pen to paper!”

This hypothesis is very attractive, but it may not be realized smoothly. After all, there are so many people who have written infinite streams, and no one has paid protection fees to Alphabet. Even with continuous development, it has copied and surpassed the founder.

He took a big step forward and entered a new era of style...

In short, I feel that this method has a probability of success. As for whether Mary is willing to try it and whether it will go according to my plan, that is not what I care about.

This "tool man" genre not only means that the protagonist in the book is a tool man, but also means that the entire book is just a tool, just a stepping stone for a smooth transition to the expected goal.

I continued to improve my hypothesis, "In order to enrich the content of the story, the protagonist's opening position must be low, the possibilities must be as wide as possible, and the impact of each step must be different. You can set the most cliché, the most

The basic storyline, then take out the dice and freely tamper with the script!"

But this idea seemed to ignite a blazing fire in Mary's heart. The Akarin girl immediately picked up the paper and pen and started writing and drawing, while looking at me with strange eyes.

"Marcus, just do as you say! This way, whether it is creative technique or genre, it must be unprecedented - in order to thank you, I decided to give you a gift to express my gratitude!"

Seeing Mary being so polite, the habit in my bones broke out instantly, and I quickly declined: "No need, no need, this small favor is nothing. If you want to be rewarded, just give me two bottles of Maotai. I have more ideas like this."

Yes, payment with 3090 graphics card is also supported..."

Mary frowned and looked at me, and said firmly: "I don't know what you are talking about, but please accept my gift!"

"No need...Hey, why did you come over all of a sudden!"

Her body suddenly came closer to me, and she was less than 20 centimeters away from me without warning!

Eh? This plot isn’t quite right, right??

It's not the kind of "I will work as a cow or a horse in my next life to repay my benefactor", but the kind of "little girl has nothing to do in return but to pledge herself to him"?

Or am I in young adult mode now? Do I need to enter paid content immediately?

So should I decline, or should I emphasize that it would be better to increase my efforts?

At this time, I was still thinking about it, but Mary had already slapped a piece of paper into my hand.

I opened the crumpled paper and took a look. On it were all kinds of basic personal information, experiences, interests and hobbies that had just been handwritten. The classification was so detailed that it was more exaggerated than the census, just like a primary school student's classmates' directory.

"...What is this?"

She squeezed my hand tightly as if to take credit, and said happily: "Please fill in this information, and I will decide that you will be the protagonist of this novel!"

Mary, let's discuss it. Put down the "Robinson Crusoe" in your hand first. Don't think that I can't see that you are interested in this novel...

Also, do you want to write a novel based on my experience?

Then this book is a done deal!
Chapter completed!
