Tan Pan 07: What is a good link to the story?

I wrote a related story, and only five people saw it horribly. Why?

I voted for the story three times, and the answer every time was that the story was not strong. Why?

They all said that stories should be integrated, and I did it. Why can't you get recognition from others?

I am not talented enough. Sure enough, I am still not good at writing stories. give up ...

Later, Sister Wang gave me a book called How to Write a Good Story.

With the mentality of trying, I finished reading this book. It's not that I don't have talent, but that I don't know what a good transition is.

However, what is a good connection? How does it choose the "good" standard? Is there any mode of thinking that can quickly reach this standard?

Among many explanations, I prefer this one:

Should be straightforward and suspicious, attractive, tight and reasonable, and not scattered; The turning change has a climax, not dull; Whether to improve or leave blank is artistic.

There is a group of people playing story solitaire. The story goes like this:

A man who has worked in a foreign country for five years and has never seen his daughter (Xiaohua) came to the kindergarten to take Xiaohua home.

But the teacher didn't know the man, so she refused to give him this little flower.

What should I say?

Some people said that they should take out their ID cards directly, while others said that they should test DNA, but both methods were rejected. ...

"Take out your ID card, the story is over, isn't it? ..... ","Who has nothing to do to check the paternity test ... "

What should I say? silent ...

Later, a person put forward a close and reasonable connection, as follows:

The teacher asked the man to get his ID card, but he didn't bring it, so the teacher refused to hand it in.

The anxious and boring man told Xiaohua's birth date and other specific information. The teacher was cautious and refused to let him go. At this time, Xiaohua said that he was not my father.

A man with a tight heart, heartbroken, remembered that he often called his daughter, so he begged the teacher to answer his phone and let Xiaohua listen to his voice.

Finally, Xiaohua called her father with joy. Father and daughter hugged each other tightly. The wind at night is very cold, but the teacher feels particularly warm. ...

This article is called "Dad on the Phone", which is attractive, conforms to the common sense of life, and the change is unexpected, reasonable and profound, and meets the standard of "good".

The choice of "good" criteria depends on whether they are interrelated or not.

That is, front and back care, up and down correlation, bedding and highlighting the theme.

There used to be a joke when I was a child that Xiaoming went to Shaolin Temple for an exam on Thursday and got a perfect score of 44. He picked up a machine gun and rushed into the ladies' room, shouting, Brother, don't be a bald donkey. ...

I used to think it was funny, but now I can find many logical loopholes by careful taste, which is very unreasonable.

For example, how did Xiaoming go to Shaolin Temple? Where did he get the machine gun?

This is very unreasonable, and the correlation between superiors and subordinates is very weak.

While watching the famous detective Conan, we can also find many logical loopholes.

For example, how does Conan know everything? A senior one student knows astronomy, geography, the principles of various firearms and electronic equipment, and he can do all kinds of things by himself. Is there such a perfect high school detective in reality?

But it is reasonable for you to think that the relationship between superiors and subordinates is close.

Why? In Conan's story, combined with our real life experience, we can find that its inheritance conforms to the common sense of life, and it can also make us feel unexpected and reasonable.

So no matter how he analyzes it, we will feel that the development of the story is very reasonable, and there is a strong connection between the top and the bottom, highlighting the theme of a famous detective.

The lock system and three-act structure mentioned in "Writing a Good Story in this Way" are of great help to reach the standard of "good" quickly.

L stands for role, O stands for goal, C stands for obstacle, and K stands for end of influence. These three acts are the beginning, the middle and the end.

How to use it?

Start (up)

You have to introduce the basic information of the protagonist's time and background, as well as the general situation of the protagonist.

And quickly wrote down the events that disturbed his normal life and how he responded.

Then, think about a question, whether the reader is willing to enter the middle part.

Intermediate part (transfer)

Between the beginning and the middle, there is a door that cannot be turned back, that is, the protagonist may conflict with others or have other entanglements with his opponent because of disturbing events, so he has to take further action. (bearing)

After the operation, opponents may kidnap their relatives or frame themselves for imprisonment. At this time, we should solve the current problem first, and then settle accounts with our opponents. (turning)

When solving this difficult problem, we will encounter a series of sub-problems (commitments).

When solving the problem, I found that my loved ones were killed, or I found a bigger conspiracy, so in order to defeat my opponent, I began to look for companions or buy weapons to prepare for the last battle (round)

End (end)

There is also a door that can't be turned back, where you can start a life-and-death struggle with your opponent.

There are only four endings after that. That is, the protagonist achieves the goal and the result is good or bad, and the protagonist fails to achieve the goal.

For example, the protagonist defeated his opponent, but lost his only relative. ...

Finally, a good transition has a strong connection with each other and must be attractive. Transition conforms to the common sense of life, novel and not dull. Unexpected and reasonable, with profound meaning and prominent theme.
