I had been hesitating for a while before about where to cut the point of episode ten.
Because the title of the tenth episode is called "Long Night in Spring", the meaning it contains is actually the "Changing King's Flag on the City Wall" in Lu Xun's poem, so by extending it, we can write more about the following plots, about the Wu Dynasty
After the initial destruction of the various forces in the world, it was finally decided that it was all about the clown.
The clown is a very complex character. Although I have written about relatively complex things before, such as Wang Shitong, Si Zhongxian who sold Jianmenguan, and Dai Mengwei, these complexities can still be easily distinguished and classified.
, let’s treat it as the elementary level of complexity. The clown here is at the intermediate level.
Writing a book requires a step-by-step approach. Don’t let people get too entangled at the beginning. However, starting from the point of the clown, some relatively complicated situations will begin to appear in the later period, because the inheritance and transformation have reached the final stage, there are many clues, and even the entire world of ""
We have to start to figure things out in a complicated situation. Everyone's destiny will reach the critical point of sublimation and solving the problem. Therefore, the plot of the clown can be regarded as a greeting.
Of course, the clues will not be exaggeratedly tangled, and I am not writing any serious literature. Even if I have thoughts, it must be hidden in an interesting plot and wrapped in sugar, so you don't need to be too afraid.
As for the clown's merits and demerits, I'm not going to comment. It's just that at this stage of the plot, there is such a person who has done such a thing. You are free to think about it how you want.
One thing I would like to mention in terms of plot setting is that Tang Minjie is a very lovable character. His appearance has always been a highlight moment. Even if he betrayed Chen Wenjun, he has always been the best on his own stage.
A unique protagonist. But in the fourth chapter of the Joker, I replaced him with Chen Wenjun. He was at a loss, and Chen Wenjun laughed. Relatively speaking, who is the Joker? More like Chen Wenjun who stayed in the north.
Already.
The portrayal of Chen Wenjun has always been relatively weak, and she has more contradictions than the clown. She was kidnapped to the North when she was young, and was instigated by people from the Secret Investigation Department on the way to become a spy. The result was originally
The spy prepared by the Liao people fell into the political circle of the Jin Kingdom, and she handed over a lot of information. However, after the fall of the Central Plains, the Secret Intelligence Department of the Wu Dynasty was over, and she was free again.
In the last two episodes, she was basically torn between being a Jurchen lady or a Han lady. The two can do the same thing, but have completely different meanings. So in the end
, she passed through the clown's influence, while Tang Minjie lost his clown identity and brought back Mrs. Han's kindness to the south.
This replacement makes Mrs. Han become a brighter protagonist.
I revealed on Weibo that neither of these two people will die here. They are burdened with ideas that are several times more complicated than the current plot. This is something that will be written in the eleventh episode.
Let’s talk about episode ten.
I have always said that this is an experimental article. It will try something at each stage according to the purpose of practicing writing. At the beginning of the article, I want to explore as vividly as possible the interesting points and some unfinished meanings that can be written.
In other words, I use twice the writing style and improve the expression by 10%, so at the beginning, the writing method is a bit chatty. Once it reaches the climax, I often try to express more excitement through different angles.
In the first few episodes, because I wanted to achieve the most compact effect in the seventh episode, I was more restrained in some writing methods. For example, when Zhou Tong stabbed Nianhan, I once said that the perspective here was divorced from the protagonist, and I would be more restrained in the future.
try to avoid.
Of course, after writing the seventh episode, I had reached the ultimate level of personal satisfaction. Later, I thought about whether I should extend the shaping of supporting characters and group portraits. In the second half of the original plan,
I considered keeping the plot centered around Ning Yi, writing more emotional dramas and family dramas, using this as the main axis to drive the supporting characters and reveal the cruelty of war, but then I thought there was no need to be so conservative.
Since the perspective away from the protagonist is a natural minus point, when shaping the plot of the supporting character, I have to find more plus points so that people will not move their eyes away. I have also thought about it.
When there is no protagonist, my plot can still attract a large number of readers to watch, so there will basically be no shortcomings in my next book. This is the reason why there are a lot of group portraits after the seventh episode.
In terms of subscriptions, under the dual influence of such a volume of updates and the frequent lack of protagonists, the 24-hour subscriptions are still over 10,000, and the appeal of the entire plot has not gone astray. Of course, it can also be said that if
If I am more lovable, its performance will slowly rise - this is my expectation for the next book.
The tenth episode as a whole is also composed of a large number of group portraits, from the beginning of Junwu Zhoupei to the southwest battle of the Chinese army, with Qu Zhengyan at the top, Mao Yishan and the five people in the middle, and Mao Yishan's coat stolen at the bottom.
Among the various lunch-box parties such as Battalion Commander A, there are Si Zhongxian, Yu Mingzhou who is compared with him, Dai Mengwei, Wu Qimei, He Wen, Zou Xu... Although the impression must be deep and shallow, but
As long as they are pointed out, readers should be able to remember them. On the whole, it should be a success. And from the eighth episode to the ninth episode to now, there has basically never been a mistake in this aspect of writing.
Finally, we come to Tang Minjie and Chen Wenjun to end this episode.
The entire book of "" should be eleven episodes. In other words, the next episode will be the last episode. Of course, the volume of this last episode will be relatively large, and its entire timeline will span more than ten years.
, countless characters and clues will gradually reach the end in the huge plot. These lines are now clearly laid out in front of me. Many people say why the writing is slow, because the orderly closing of the threads is far better than the laying out of the threads.
At the difficult ending, I don’t just want to close the thread, all the characters and ideas, I hope they can eventually reach sublimation. Now that the foundation has been laid, I will start the final performance with trepidation.
As an experimental article, the next step is its biggest challenge: the perfect ending and breakthrough of a long novel of more than 5 million words. This is probably a challenge that an author will rarely face twice in his life.
The eleventh episode has to carry a lot of things. I considered several titles in the general direction, and the title I finally chose was "Water in the World". It is consistent with the concept of the eleventh episode and is relatively neutral.
One way of saying it, of course, there are relatively negative and positive expressions. The more negative expression among them comes from a poem that many people should have seen.
Back then, when you were loyal and loyal to the country, why were you afraid of losing your head? Now that the world is famous, who can you rely on to protect the country? Your career has not been completed, your body is tired, and your hair has grown. How can you and I bear to pay our long-cherished wishes to the east?
This poem is said to have been written by *** to the Prime Minister in his later years, but in fact it is difficult to be certain. I originally wanted to use the sentence "You and I, forbearing and giving up our long-cherished wishes to waste?" as the quotation for the eleventh episode.
, but considering that it is difficult to distinguish between true and false and relatively negative, I chose a more positive statement, which naturally comes from the words of that great man.
Next, welcome everyone to the eleventh episode:
"Water in the World"
The bleak autumn wind is coming again today, and the world has changed! ——*** "Langtaosha*Beidaihe"
