The dialogue description in the novel includes two parts: the content of speech and the hint.

Verbal content: refers to what someone has said.

Hint: it is a sentence that plays a role of hint. It plays a role in telling readers who said this, under what circumstances and how to say it.

According to the position of the hint in the sentence, there are four forms of dialogue. Four forms of dialogue use different punctuation marks.

1) The prompt is in front, followed by a colon, and the speech content is in double quotation marks.

Error demonstration:

Chen saw him, smiled and waved, "big star, why are you so idle? You don't have to make a TV series. "

The comma after "Hello" is wrong and should be changed into a colon. "Why are you so idle in the back" and "Aren't you going to shoot a TV series?" It should also be changed to a question mark.

Correct demonstration:

Chen saw him, smiled and waved, "big star, why are you so idle? Don't you have to shoot a TV series? "

2) The prompt is in the middle, with a pair of double quotes in front, a comma behind the prompt, and a pair of double quotes behind it.

Error demonstration:

"Ah?" Jiang Han was surprised and thought he had heard wrong. "Old man, you, what did you say?"

The period after "I thought I heard wrong" is wrong and should be changed to a comma.

Correct demonstration:

"Ah?" Jiang Han was surprised and thought he had heard wrong. "What did you say, old man?"

3) After the prompt, use quotation marks for the speech, and use a period after the prompt.

Correct demonstration:

The queen mother's face began to twitch.

"Move to him." She said.

4) Without prompting, quote the contents of the speech.

Correct demonstration:

"No, he is a reporter for a magazine."

However, many friends can't use this fourth form well, because it needs to judge the speaker according to the context, generally the principle of proximity, and many friends don't pay attention to it, which makes readers confused and puzzled about who said this sentence.

This form of dialogue description can refer to "Shanshan Come to Eat", such as a scene where Shanshan Xue can't go home for the New Year and Feng Teng helps:

2. Dialogue description skills

Of the above four forms of dialogue description, the second one is the easiest to write. Let's analyze how to write a dialogue according to the second article.

1) highlight the key points

This form of "talking before and after, describing in the middle" has its unique advantage in use, that is, "highlighting the key points". Nowadays, online readers are very skilled in reading novels, and many of them are quick to read. At this time, it is very necessary to highlight the key points.

First, highlight the first half.

"conspiracy!" Zhang San's brow wrinkled into a ball. "Li Si is a philistine. When you see me on weekdays, you always meet me from a distance, praising me and holding me low. Today, when he came out of Wang Wufu, he saw me with a frightened face and turned to leave. Do you think I'm blind or stupid? "

This paragraph can use the latter pile to shape the characters, but as far as the plot is concerned, there are only the first two words-"conspiracy". Explain that Zhang San knows something, and then he will prove something or make some preparations.

Second, highlight the second half.

"Surrounded by mountains and rivers and lush vegetation, we are here to travel. In previous years, this solar term was when insects croak and frogs croak, but today there is no sound at all, so there is only one possibility ... "Zhang San smiled around, but his eyes flashed cold light, and he swept trees and rivers. "There is an ambush!"

This paragraph is similar to the previous example, but the key point that needs to be highlighted is at the end.

From the above two paragraphs, we can see how these key points are prominent. My experience is that the shorter the part, the more prominent it is.

2) characterization of characters

? "Look at this little girl, she looks so beautiful and has a lovely personality, but she has a bad life. We didn't know in the past. Since we met today, how can I bear to let you be bullied again? " Mrs. Zhang wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and pulled the little girl to her side for protection. "After you follow me, don't listen to anyone, don't be angry with anyone. You don't have to pay attention to what Master Zhang told you to do. "

The description in the middle can be used to highlight the character. It is natural to insert character descriptions into sentence-by-sentence dialogue descriptions, which will not make the article boring.

3) ambush ring

"General Wu Wang judging, prestigious! This time, it is even more gratifying to destroy the anti-thief! I propose a toast to you! " Zhang Sanyi looked respectful, righted the jade crown on his head first, and then raised his glass with both hands. "I wish the old general a long life and live in Kyoto forever!"

The part described in the middle-"official" can be used as a foreshadowing, for example, as a code word for assassination.

To sum up: each form of expression has its own unique advantages. Only the second kind in the tutorial is mentioned here, which can be regarded as attracting jade.

These four forms of expression are actually the necessary conditions for their existence and have different functions. At present, many white articles are only written in the first form without written description.

For example:

This is actually a lazy way, or a relatively simple way.

It can't be said that this is wrong, because in fact, the basic elements have already appeared, and readers can read fluently, but it is too monotonous.

Personally, I prefer to use the four forms alternately, so that readers will not look monotonous, just like calligraphy, which will give readers a kind of aesthetic feeling of "corresponding size, alternating length, virtual reality, swaying posture and turbulence".
