"Wang Miao felt that the four people who came to him were a strange combination: two policemen and two soldiers. It would be normal if those two soldiers were armed police, but these are two army officers."
After Tranquility read the first paragraph of the opening chapter of "The Three-Body Problem", her interest was completely raised.
She is a professional screenwriter.
At the same time, because of Chen Ping'an's relationship, I learned and studied novel writing skills with Chen Ping'an, a master.
There is a very important skill in novel writing.
That is using hooks.
Hooks can be any means of arousing the reader's interest, such as this passage, "fancy combination" is a hook. After reading this sentence, the reader will think what kind of strange combination, so read the next sentence.
Two policemen and two soldiers.
This is also a hook.
What did the police and military come to him for?
Forcing the reader to continue reading.
Then it was "it would be normal if those two soldiers were armed police, but these are two army officers."
"Army Officer" is another powerful hook.
In just a short paragraph, three powerful hooks appeared. And it shows a trend of increasing layer by layer.
Tempt the reader to read on.
"As expected of Anshen! As expected of my master! As expected of a squid!! It's so awesome!" Tranquility admired Chen Ping'an at this moment.
The use of hooks is so skillful.
A short paragraph not only aroused the reader's great interest in reading, but also established the tense tone of the following.
The army officers have come to the door, can the following plot not be nervous?
Such a great start!
After reading such a beginning, Tranquility seems to have a feeling of epiphany. For the creation of novels, she has gained a lot and gained a deeper understanding.
This understanding is also very meaningful in scriptwriting.
No wonder he has become a great writer.
She muttered in her heart.
She can't wait to read the following.
"Wang Miao didn't like the policeman who came to him at first sight..."
The opening of the second paragraph reinforces the "tense" tone established by the first paragraph. Tranquility, who had been completely 'hooked', followed the squid's brushstrokes, unable to stop and looked at it smoothly.
After two days of 'retreat', Chen Pingan has written more than 100,000 words.
Quiet reading is very fast, and it only took less than half an hour to read the existing manuscript.
Chen Jiajia and Yang Bo were slower, but it only took an hour to read them all.
After reading the manuscript, the four people gathered behind Chen Ping'an, anxiously waiting for every word he typed out.
Before, Chen Ping'an and Wu Zixuan were sleepless and forgetful, day and night.
Now Yang Bo, Chen Jiajia, and Tranquility have joined the camp.
