How can telling stories make people cry?

A wonderful beginning is usually very eye-catching, which can immediately attract the attention of the other party, bring the other party into the atmosphere you create, and make your story half successful.

l？ Xu Shun quickly listed the time, people, places and events to create suspense.

At midnight, I was alone in the company and someone patted me on the shoulder. (throwing suspense)

l？ Flashback throws unexpected results before explaining.

Example: I got 20 more A Jin months because of this. (Curious, I can't help asking)

Second, prioritize.

When telling a story, you should have a clear purpose. The same thing, the same story, has many functions and angles, and can express many opinions. We should learn to explain according to the purpose of telling stories. At the same time, we should prioritize, be specific and appropriate, and not be too greedy. It's boring to say everything.

Example: Chu Wangba committed suicide.

If we want to highlight Xiang Yu's heroism, we can say that "life is a hero and death is a ghost." I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. "

If we want to highlight Xiang Yu's lack of foresight, we can say, "Go after him hard and don't learn from the overlord."

Third, pay attention to logic

Use a single-threaded narrative method and add a clear timeline. The behavior you want to express in the story should closely focus on the key points you want to talk about. Method: Cut off all the details and express your theme directly.

For example, the steps of Hollywood classic narrative style are:

Role desire → role action → role encounters difficulties → role solves difficulties.

Fourth, describe the details

Learning to tell details helps to make the story more moving and the characters more prominent. When describing others, don't just use adjectives, because it is very impersonal. Instead, turn it into personalized details, and portray people with life fragments or details or scenes, which will be more vivid.

Example: describe people as very active.

Overall description: He is really active.

Detail description: He will take the initiative to hug anyone. Although he had a great chance to catch the air, he persisted.

General description VS detail description: the latter is more vivid and impressive.

Fifth, make good use of rhetoric

At school, the teacher taught us many rhetorical methods, such as metaphor, personification, synaesthesia, contrast, exaggeration and so on. These figures of speech are of great use in telling good stories, which can make the content expressed vivid and concrete and give people a vivid and profound impression.

Example: I feel full after eating.

No rhetoric: I'm full, full. ....

Make good use of words: I am full, like a mosquito full of blood, with a bright stomach and can't move any more. (figurative, exaggerated)

Not using rhetoric VS making good use of rhetoric: the latter is more vivid and interesting.

Sixth, strengthen humor.

Adding humor to your story will catch people better.

l？ Use inversion. Through the first half, the reader is pulled down to a logical scene and the second half is pulled down to another logical scene.

For example, in the first half of the full text of the circle of friends, "A thief sneaked into my house and looked for money everywhere-",and in the second half, "Later we found it together."

l？ Use homophones. Common in variety shows such as the Spring Festival Evening.

Example: I took medicine in a Chinese pharmacy and shouted, "Nurse, take medicine, I am Danshen." The aunt in front said to me, "Young man, forget it, there is no medicine for being single!" " "

l？ Strengthen the details. Deliberately strengthen the description of details to make the image more full and concrete.

For example, you finally came. While waiting for you, I watched the couple next to me, from meeting, getting to know each other, falling in love again, and finally breaking up, witnessing the whole process. (used when the other party is late)

l？ Repetition or mantra. Use the same mantra to deal with all kinds of scenes.

For example, the "confident brother" in the comedy show the legendary swordsman always exaggerates: "Because my brother is confident".

l？ Know how to control. You must tell jokes seriously to add humor.

For example, when Degang Guo talks about cross talk, he can always be serious, shake the burden and tell jokes. There is a contrast.

Everyone, brand and object are made up of stories. It is human nature to like listening to stories. If you want to impress others, express yourself, output opinions and build a brand, please give priority to telling stories. Because storytelling can quickly break down barriers, quickly cause * * * sound, and explain a point simply and clearly.

I hope you become a master storyteller.
