Lin Yuan soon received a response from Lao Zhou.
The company's film department attaches great importance to "Life of Pi" and subsequent preparations may begin today.
Considering that filming could not start this year, Lin Yuan handed the matter over to the company.
With the support of the film department, there will be no shortage of professionals to handle the early preparations.
Putting this burden aside for the time being, Lin Yuan then went to class for a few days.
Lin Yuan seldom goes to school now.
Under the guidance of Yang Zhongming's character cards, Lin Yuan's composition skills improved by leaps and bounds, and the school could no longer teach him anything.
Obviously the school is also aware of this.
Who can teach Xianyu to compose music
It's useless even if the composition professor comes.
Therefore, all of Lin Yuan's requests for leave were always accepted.
Obviously, there is a deviation in the two sides' understanding of "whether Xianyu needs to continue attending classes", but fortunately the results are consistent.
After class.
Lin Yuan also draws comics every day, just as a little spice in his life.
I need to say something here.
With the serialization of the manga "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma", the manga has entered its later stages.
Because the original work was a mess, the system made quite a lot of changes to the later part of "Food Wars!".
The story line directly progresses to the protagonist becoming the new Ten Greatest Totsuki and starting to compete with the previous Ten Greatest Totsuki.
That is food war.
It probably won’t take long before this comic is officially finished, and then Lin Yuan will have to consider what to draw in the next comic.
After spending some leisurely days like this, Jin Mu reminded Lin Yuan:
"We have an agreement with the blogger to submit a manuscript this month if possible. If you don't have any inspiration, we can postpone it."
Lin Yuan then remembered that the blog had reached an agreement with him to commission an article.
"They keep urging me..."
Jinmu shrugged. As Lin Yuan's agent, he had to endure the process of urging him to submit manuscripts, which was something he shouldn't have to endure.
Lin Yuan said: "I will submit the manuscript before the end of the month."
He has run out of short stories and needs to order new ones from the system. He can use this time to think about what short story he wants to order next.
"OK."
As Kaneki answered, he was secretly shocked at the creative ability of his boss, although this shock had gradually become numb as it happened more and more times.
No matter what the subject matter or story, it seems that this boss can handle it.
Perhaps the only shortcoming he saw in his boss was that his handwriting was not very good
"That's right."
Jinmu seemed to have thought of something and smiled, "These past few days, some mystery writers on the Internet have imitated "The Mystery of Roger" and used a narrative style of writing, which has sparked a lot of discussion."
“I think I saw it.”
Lin Yuan did see it through the comments section of the tribe.
He was quite free these days, so he would occasionally log into Chu Kuang's account, and as a result, he saw a lot of complaints in the comment section.
He said that he had set a precedent for deceiving readers, and now more and more mystery writers are beginning to use narrative tricks to deceive readers.
Of course, the readers were not criticizing, they were just joking.
The only person who is really criticizing is a mystery writer named Leng Guang.
Basically, every time a new narrative mystery work comes out in the mystery circle recently, he makes a few sarcastic remarks, living up to his title of mystery troll.
"A poor imitation of Chu Kuang."
"You have only scratched the surface of Chu Kuang's narrative tricks."
"It's just a way of telling a story for the sake of telling a story, it's just a soulless follow-up."
"First, let's understand the concept of narrative trickery before we start paying homage to Chu Kuang."
"… "
What’s interesting is that when Leng Guang criticized those copycat works, he actually implicitly endorsed “The Mystery of Roger Affair”.
Some netizens ridiculed him for this: "Didn't you say before that "The Mystery of Roger Affair" was not good?"
Leng Guang didn't mind, but was a little angry, and even posted a message to explain:
"Don't misunderstand me. I do dislike narrative tricks, but I don't completely deny "The Mystery of Roger Affair". Although the narrative tricks of this novel are lame, at least the setting of the case and the self-consistency of the logic are not problematic. If it weren't for the narrative tricky structure at the end, this is also a good quality mystery."
Yes.
If it weren't for the disappointing ending, Leng Guang would still appreciate "The Mystery of Roger Affair".
In comparison, some of the follow-up narrative works on the market are simply designed to deceive readers, and the reversal at the ending cannot be compared with Chu Kuang's "The Mystery of Roger".
That's why Leng Guang started to spray.
This is also the characteristic of narrative weirdness. Readers who see narrative weirdness for the first time will be shocked to the greatest extent. After reading it many times, they will feel that it is not so bad.
etc.
Lin Yuan's eyes paused, and he suddenly had an idea for a new short story. This was the inspiration given to Lin Yuan by someone who followed the trend of narrative structure.
Why not continue writing narrative
In the future, there will inevitably be more and more mysterious novels in the book market, and there will inevitably be works that are more mysterious than "The Mystery of Roger Affair"!
Of course, in terms of groundbreakingness, "The Mystery of Roger Affair" is unbeatable.
However, with the development of narrative mystery, the stories of narrative mystery will definitely become more and more exquisite.
Then why can't I, after creating the narrative technique, further promote this writing style
It also provides more references for imitators, right
I have to say, the idea is tempting.
Everyone has a bad taste.
Lin Yuan also has it occasionally.
Since Bi Yao's death, many readers have been calling her "Chu Kuang old thief".
If I don't do what an old thief should do, wouldn't I be letting down the readers' "good reputation"
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan went to the bathroom.
Five minutes later.
Lin Yuan returned to the studio hall and said, "Uncle Jin, after reading "The Mystery of Roger", if you read a novel of the same type again, are you sure you can guess the answer?"
“You can see through the narrative.”
Jinmu was confident, and then added conservatively: "Almost certainly."
He is a veteran mystery enthusiast and is good at guessing the murderer.
If you have never been exposed to the narrative mode, you will indeed be misled, but once you are mentally prepared, it will be different.
"Well, take a look at this conversation."
Lin Yuan wrote down a conversation and drew a cartoon in the notebook.
Simple cartoon.
An old man asked the young man, "Why did you have sex with her?"
The young man replied helplessly: "She was lying there naked, what could I do?"
The old man was furious: "You should have done an autopsy! An autopsy!"
When Kaneki saw this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
Keep watching.
The young man threw a chair and said, "I don't need you to teach me how to work!"
The old man stood up angrily and said, "You are the worst veterinarian I have ever seen!"
Kaneki: “…”
He felt that his worldview was somewhat shattered.
These few short conversations, with their continuous crazy reversals, caused him to strain his waist, and he began to feel a little unsure about his previous statement that he could "see through the narrative trickery".
What is all this
Are those who play tricks on others so dirty
As expected, he is the founder of...narrative weirdness!
Lin Yuan said: "That was just a warm-up. By the way, I'm going to give you a little tip. I've decided to write a narrative trick for my new short story. I'm challenging all the readers who think they can see through the trick."
Um.
A few minutes ago, Lin Yuan went to the bathroom, not to pee.
His kidneys are in good condition.
He just customized a short story with the system.
The name of the novel is: "Dong Dong Suspension Bridge Falls".
As for the comic story just now, it was just a warm-up.
Don't underestimate this yellow joke.
This paragraph actually contains a very core essence of narrative trickery:
Psychological suggestion.
This requires me to briefly explain an issue to everyone.
What kind of narrative is good
The first important criterion for judging the quality of a narrative work is whether the narrative is pure deception "for the sake of narrative".
Or is it a shocking trick formed through a series of psychological hints and habitual misleadings
This trick is not only to deceive the readers, but also to serve the novel's script, enrich or reverse the characterization of the novel's characters, and deepen the novel's ideological content. This is the true narrative trick:
A spider web of tricks laid out everywhere and at every step.
Similar short stories can allow readers to more intuitively feel what true narrative weirdness is!
