On the writing style of easy and funny in writing

Life is full of pain, frustration and helplessness. Even if you climb to the top of the ladder and leap into the Longmen, there are times when you suddenly fall into a trough and are unhappy. There is such an article that gives you an exit, makes you cry, makes you hurt, grieves for you and scolds you. In these articles, when life is trampled, it is not afraid to make a comeback. When life is dark, I cry in the corner, believing that the smog has gone and the dawn is coming.

There are other articles like this, which either read the ups and downs of life and make people feel the so-called ups and downs with a playful smile, but flowers bloom in front of the door; They may have a pair of eyes to see the ugliness of the world, whipping and mocking the ugliness and badness of the world with kindness and compassion; They may uphold a childlike innocence, with joy and purity, let you return to a relaxed and pure land, wash away thorns and hostility, and move on. This kind of articles, in contemporary online texts, we call them light articles, funny articles and comic articles.

There is a big market for abusive articles and tragedies. Many people will look for meaning and value in seeking abuse, but many people also say that life is unbearable and they can no longer stand the tragic attack and abuse of abused literature and the second world. However, few people will reject or reject light and humorous comedies. A relaxed and funny novel often makes people laugh and suddenly feel that life is so interesting. Even if it can't affect the trajectory and value orientation of life, it is valuable to get a knowing smile, bathe in the sunshine and absorb a little energy at this moment.

Therefore, writing a relaxed and humorous (comedy) style is very popular. For example, Mr. Lu Xun, a national fighter, loves his words with a mocking and scolding attitude in addition to his righteous face in middle school textbooks. For example, Wang Xiaobo, a contemporary literary genius, how many people fell in love with his interesting soul, and how many people saw Wang Xiaobo and exclaimed, "There are too many beautiful faces and too few interesting souls in this world. It's hard for you to meet a second person as wise, interesting, rational and maverick as Wang Xiaobo. For example, San Mao, a well-known writer in Taiwan Province Province, once published The Story of the Sahara, which amazed the world with its wisdom and interest in life; And Han Han, the representative of post-80s Wen Qing. In those years, "Three Doors Surprised" and "New Concept Literature", as well as "Country and Ideal City" after his fame, have won the favor of countless young readers with their humorous and satirical style. But relaxed and humorous writing is extremely difficult to imitate and learn. Haven't you noticed that these authors mentioned above seem to have been endowed with interesting and wise souls by God, which has created their humorous writing style?

This time, let's think about comedy. I hope that through the analysis of the works, we can get a glimpse of the inherent uniqueness of those writers who are good at humorous writing. We don't expect to master the writing skills of humorous articles overnight, but hope to find a way: through repeated practice and thinking, we can get strokes that can arouse the interest of life.

First, taste the language characteristics of different types of comedy articles, starting with imitating the tone of the language.

(1) satirical comedy articles: Borrowing the concept of drama, satirical comedy articles are aimed at negative things in social life. Because the satirized characters in the works lose their historical authenticity and practical significance, they present a funny state and form ironic laughter. Its language usually shows the following characteristics: making good use of mapping metaphor (meaning), satirical language emotional color, creatively adjusting word order and part of speech in combination with context, expressing meaning in characters' language, diversity and inexhaustible language.

Representative figures are Lu Xun, Han Han and Wang Xiaobo.

Case One: Lu Xun's "No Attack"

Lu Xun's "Non-attack" compared the mapping to perfection, and the characters and terms were mapped out. For example, the "raising money for the national salvation team" in the previous paragraph is an allusion to the cheating behavior of the Kuomintang government at that time. In the face of Japanese imperialist aggression, the Kuomintang government implemented the policy of betraying the country and surrendering, but at the same time, in the name of saving the country, it instigated the so-called mass organizations under its control to forcibly collect donations, deceive the people and plunder the people's fat and cream. Imagine Mozi, like a tired working people, running around and leaving a worthless bag on the way. It's ridiculous and ironic!

In addition, Lu Xun is good at expressing moral with character language. In the above article fragment, Mozi's helpless tone reveals a clear understanding of life.

Case 2 Han Han's Lovely Natural Disaster-Master, we surrender to you unconditionally.

First, the unique Korean satirical language features, with the title "Master, we surrender to you unconditionally", make people laugh. The so-called master who seeks fame and reputation is ridiculed both inside and outside the article, and Han Han is the most rebellious in his speech. A master, a master, a master, a master, a master, a master, the pungent smell of ridicule makes many masters blush.

Second, Han Han's words speak for himself, that is, Han Han's own language, such as "Is your nickname right?" Most of them are rhetorical sentences with some witty metaphors.

Case 3: Wang Xiaobo's maverick pig. One chapter takes the mainland film romance on lushan mountain as a case to discuss the film novel culture.

In the above case, Wang Xiaobo's satirical language is a little more memorable than Han Han's, and the irony is not so straightforward. You have to read the whole paragraph before you suddenly realize: Oh, this paragraph is not a compliment, but a mockery! In his short essays, Wang Xiaobo likes to satirize with logical language. For example, the concept of "style" is introduced above, and the elegance and vulgarity of movies are discussed through the scenes in the Romance of Lushan Mountain, thus setting off a cultural phenomenon that people dare not tell the truth and express their true feelings in the early days of reform and opening up.

By the way, Han Han's style is similar to Wang Xiaobo's, but if Han Han imitates Wang Xiaobo, Han Han will probably write an article to refute it.

(2) Happy comedy: The main purpose is to show the freedom of life, the sweetness of life, the happiness of youth and the unrestrained enjoyment.

For example, the works of the authors of online romance novels, such as "Nine" and "Nine", are as easy as the daily words of characters, and the characters who are substituted are often smart and playful female characters, with the arrogant tone of modern women, or the lovely characteristics of young people who are fearless and natural.

Qi Tang copied down the style of writing that was blown by the strong wind, intercepted it at will, and compared it. After repeated chewing, she actually chewed out the flavor of Lin Daiyu's speech-circling, teasing and knocking, elegant language style.

This kind of teasing and fresh dialogue can be seen everywhere in Jiu's articles. This kind of dialogue perfectly reflects the characters' personalities and relationships, and also conforms to the relaxed and mindless taste that modern readers like.

(3) Absurd comedy: In modern western society, the deepest suffering and death in life are finally distorted and sent to the upside-down comedy kingdom, which is absurd comedy or grotesque comedy.

Once upon a time, Jun Hua's romance novels belonged to the curiosity-seeking school. His storyline and dialogue between characters will be absurd to read, and even some characters appear very distorted and non-mainstream. But in his article, this distorted and non-mainstream language and characters are reasonable. It only studies the style of language dialogue, which is slightly similar to that of nine, Gu Xijue and Sui Emperors. However, due to the fact that Jiuda and others are good at writing articles on campus youth, and the role of Junhua used to be either a monster or a pervert, the language design is still different, not just angry words, but adding some baggage skills to comedies and cross talks. For example, in the above article, I skillfully used the baggage technique of "three turns and four shakes", but in this short period, I actually only turned it over twice. At the first turn, I wore a Hua Die and didn't want to find bitter lotus seeds. The woman called her to go away. The second turned around, and Dai Huadie decided to die rather than surrender. The woman asked him to find the magical grandmother of Whale Cloud Island, but Dai Huadie was helpless. The last sentence just shook out the mystery. It turned out that Grandma Whale Cloud Island loved flower pickers most in her life. There are many luggage skills, which will be introduced in detail in the next section.

Second, the organizational skills of the burden in light and humorous words

Here, the crosstalk term "Yu Bao" is used to explain the writing skills of comedy details in light and humorous articles. In his Random Talk on Crosstalk Art, Mr. Ma Ji divided Bao Bao Er's organizational methods into 22 categories, including three turns and four shakes, praise first and then derogatory, individual language, violation of routines, misleading children, confusion, semantic illusion, absurd exaggeration, self-contradiction, witty and ingenious argument, logical confusion, inversion, homophonic use, flattery, misunderstanding and misinterpretation, and improper use of words. Here, only the common techniques in similar novel writing are selected for analysis. Examples are as follows:

(1) mistakes.

In Gu Xijue's novels, both the heroine and the supporting role have unique personalities. For example, the heroine Anning loves to study historical current affairs, and the heroine's best friend Ross loves to watch porn, so she presents the above conversation that is quite pleasant by mistake. However, this kind of mistake is rare in reality, but it is exaggerated in novels.

Absurd exaggeration

This breeding manual is naturally the product of absurd and exaggerated novels, especially the section of water shortage and skin care, which challenges the tolerance of the hero imaginatively. Imagine if you have such a delicate and demanding pet, it is really like raising an ancestor for yourself!

(3) Use a one-line program

When describing Yang Guo, Jin Yong used many witty dialogues to highlight Yang Guo's cleverness. Jin Yong is an orthodox novel writing method, using the characteristics of local dialects, which is not the same as the cold joke writing or nonsense writing popular on the Internet.

Third, the relationship between the author and the role reaches different levels of laughter.

Because of the author's attitude, there will be an established relationship between the comedy author and the characters in the works, and this established relationship needs readers to substitute into the relationship set by the author in order to experience laughter. Therefore, the difference of this relationship will affect the reader's sense of substitution and the effect of the article. Or take the author presented above as an example.

Han Han and the characters in his works usually show the relationship between scholars and authorities. For example, he often satirizes that some well-known scholars or authorities are young pioneers of literature and art, and it will be more refreshing if the readers are angry youths who are more suitable for Han Han. But if you are an older or more traditional reader, it may not be so easy to substitute to feel this humor.

Wang Xiaobo's personal words in the article are not so much. Han Han wants to talk to himself directly, and Wang Xiaobo hides behind. We usually see the contrast between public cognition and a certain point of view or character in wavelet articles. Substituting the sense of popularity is much more natural than Han Han, and it is easier to get the pleasure of experiencing Wang Xiaobo's humor.

Readers who have read Gu Xijue's autobiographical novel Morning Flowers Pick Up in the Evening should have a feeling that the heroine in Gu Xijue's novel carries the author's own shadow, and the relaxed and humorous atmosphere in her article basically comes from the scene where the author praises the protagonist and belittles other supporting roles. If you love the protagonist, you can naturally feel this kind of humor to the maximum extent, but if you are indifferent to the protagonist's personality, it may have the opposite effect. For example, male readers may find it hard to find it funny, because the author writes from the perspective of playful and clever women.

In nine novels, the relationship between the author and the characters is more abundant. For example, even for the protagonist, he will use a teasing, mocking, teasing tone or writing style. Therefore, readers can follow the author's observation, and the adaptability will be wider.

At one time, Jun Hua took pleasure in teasing men. Because of her large scale, she often drives the male host crazy, and then the readers laugh themselves crazy.

Probably compare, after reading the big text, I felt very funny when I read it for the first time, and I laughed out loud. After thinking about it for the second time, I still chose the scene of sprinkling sugar and selling sweetness. Read the article, laugh the first time, laugh the second time, and choose those scenes that sprinkle sugar and sell sweet for the third time. Once upon a time, Jun Hua's articles laughed himself crazy at first sight, and the second, third and fourth times were all enjoyed by repeatedly picking the male host to be beaten.

Having said so much, it is better to write directly than yourself. Go write it.
