Chapter 159 0159, You Can Do It Too
Sports novels, as the name suggests, are novels that reflect sports.
The sports novels, cartoons, movies and TV series on Blue Star are not yet complete and complete, so there are not many that can be used for reference.
Yunfeng's plan is to write a sports novel based on "Little Football Captain".
"Slam Dunk" is not impossible, but the main reason is that the plot is too long, and it is unrealistic to finish it in about 150,000 words.
"Football Players" is different. Although the plot is also very long, it can be written in three stages: elementary school, junior high school, and European, without affecting the continuity of the plot.
And here arises a problem - football expertise.
In fact, as long as you write sports novels, you will need relative expertise.
At the same time, this is also one of the reasons why sports novels have a small audience. People who don’t understand sports have no fun reading them. People who understand sports have higher requirements for the author’s professional level.
For example, nearly four years after its establishment, there are still not a hundred sports novels.
"Yes."
Yunfeng took the tablet computer, got down from the hanging chair, went over and knocked on Yunlin's door.
"Brother, have you eaten?" Yun Lin held a pencil in his hand and was practicing sketching in the room.
Yunfeng smiled slightly and said, "Not yet, are you busy? I have something to ask you."
His younger brother loves football and is on the football team of Jiangsu and Zhejiang No. 10 Middle Schools. You can learn about professional knowledge about football from him.
"I'm not busy." Yun Lin shook his head and said, "Brother, please wait for me."
After saying that, he turned around and put the pencil away.
The two came to the living room.
Yunfeng understood and recorded professional knowledge about football, then put down his tablet and asked a digression: "Brother, if you came across a novel about football, would you choose to click on it and take a look?"
"Football novel?" Yunlin replied without hesitation: "I should click on it and read it. After all, I quite like football."
Then his eyes lit up and he said again: "Brother, is your next novel going to be about football?"
Yunfeng nodded and said, "Yes."
Yun Lin smiled and said, "Then I will definitely watch it."
At the same time, he also became curious about what football novels would be like.
Yunfeng continued: "Okay, go and do your business."
Yun Lin nodded and said, "Well, then I'll finish the last sketch."
After Yun Lin left, Yun Feng began to summarize.
He believes that writing a good sports novel requires several things.
1. The first thing is to understand the specific rules of the sport, venue requirements, staffing, etc., so that you can write in a standardized way, and it will not be regarded as a problematic work by professionals.
2. To create different characters and characters, different people need to be given different personalities. Among them, the character of the opponent is more important. The character and speech of the opponent can better reflect the image of the protagonist and also promote the progress of the story. Important means, especially in sports novels.
3. Commentary is an indispensable part of sports novels. In addition to speaking through the mouths of one's own side and the opponent, acceptance reflects the progress of the game and also allows readers to change their perspective. How to use the commentary perspective is very important.
4. Off-field perspective. This perspective is very important, and it is also very important in the selection of personnel. It can be a reporter from a sports magazine or a defeated opponent.
5. Sports novels need a strong sense of rhythm. It is not a simple concept of you attack me and I block you back. It should be switched in an instant before the reader becomes tired of a certain perspective, so that the reader can keep reading. .
6. Finally, it is very important to intersperse some scenes such as love and friendship between the two games, which can not only make readers feel relaxed, but also increase writing inspiration.
Once you understand these important points, you can improve the outline and details.
First of all, the title of the book "Football Player" has been confirmed, and then the images and personalities of several important characters will be consistent with the original work. Finally, the character names and the place where it takes place will be changed to the Kingdom of China.
This is done for a sense of immersion.
Because the main market is China, not the island country, some corresponding changes must be made.
Yunfeng returned to his room, turned on his computer, and created a new document. Once he had a direction, he quickly wrote it down.
"Da da da da..."
The sound of keyboards is endless.
With the temptation of special skills as a reward, Yunfeng was full of motivation.
Soon, the 500-word outline was completed.
A chapter is compressed into about 150,000 words, and an outline of 500 words is enough.
Next, I spent half an hour sorting out the plot, and then wrote out the detailed outline.
"OK."
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Yunfeng was in good condition. The outline and details were completed in one go, and there was no stumbling block.
But...
The outline and outline are only the most basic things. Whether a novel is good or not depends on the author's writing skills and narrative ability.
The point of sports novels is nothing more than inspiration or passion.
Yunfeng is gearing up to write the text.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door was opened, Yun Yun leaned out and said: "Brother, dinner is ready."
Yunfeng then realized that it was already half past six in the afternoon and said, "Okay."
When he left the room, Yun Yun smiled sweetly and said, "Brother, thank you. I like this novel very much."
Yunfeng touched her head and said with a smile, "As long as you like it."
"Waiting for Coffee" is very popular among female readers. Naturally, Yun Yun is also the same. As a little girl, she is full of longing for love.
but……
Yunfeng couldn't help but worry about early love, so he reminded her: "It's best not to fall in love in high school."
Yun Yun raised her chin and said, "I don't know how."
"What are you two brothers and sisters talking about? Go wash your hands and come over for dinner."
The urging voice of mother Zhang Xiufang came over.
Yunyun quickly replied: "Come on, Mom."
Yunfeng immediately said: "Let's go."
The daily dinner should be sumptuous, with four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetarian dishes.
Although living standards have improved, the food they cook is still ordinary home-cooked food, not big fish, big meat, abalone fins and belly.
In fact, Yunfeng doesn't have high requirements for food, as long as it can fill his stomach.
Besides, home-cooked dishes can also be made very delicious. My mother, Zhang Xiufang, has such cooking skills.
At the dinner table, the family was enjoying themselves.
After traveling to Blue Star for nearly a year, Yunfeng and this body have been perfectly integrated. There is no longer any influence from the residual consciousness of the original owner. He has the truest feelings for his family and friends, and there is no need to act or cope.
"By the way, Xiaofeng, what should we do with our old house? Do we want to sell it?" Zhang Xiufang has regarded Yunfeng as the backbone of the family.
Yunfeng replied: "Mom, you and Dad can make up your mind on this matter."
Yun Lin interrupted: "Mom, our family is not short of money anyway, so we can keep the old house."
Zhang Xiufang glared at him and said, "What does it mean to not be short of money? It's all your brother's hard work. Don't worry about your brother's money and study hard."
Yun Lin laughed twice and said, "Mom, I know."
Zhang Xiufang and Yunshan were not well educated and were incapable of learning, but they taught the three brothers and sisters a lot of principles of life and work.
People can be poor or not outstanding, but they cannot lack backbone and ambition.
After dinner.
Yun Lin brought a few sketches over and said, "Brother, these are from today."
Yunfeng looked at them all first and said: "Compared with yesterday, there is progress, but this painting of an apple and this painting of a mouse..."
As he said that, he picked out two of the sketches, pointed to the one with the mouse and said: "You have to remember that in painting, there are two types of lines that cannot be drawn. One is a line with both ends, and the other is a line with a hook. , these two types of lines will make the connection between lines more obvious, and the lines will appear messy in the picture, ultimately affecting the overall picture effect. "
Then he switched to the painting of apples and said: "The contrast between light and dark should be strong. The dark should be dark and the light should be light. Otherwise, it will be gray. The black is not dark enough and the white is not white enough. It is almost a transitional gray surface."
Yunlin listened very carefully.
Yunfeng said again: "Bring the eraser and pencil."
"Okay." Yun Lin immediately stood up and trotted back to the room.
Yunfeng got an eraser and a pencil. He first erased one-third of the lines on the mouse drawing, and then erased all the shadows on the apple drawing.
Yunlin knew that his brother wanted to modify his painting.
Yunfeng's wrist shook back and forth. Although the lines on the paper were simple, each one was clean and neat.
Yun Lin's eyes widened, fearing that he would miss any detail.
Yunfeng painted very quickly, as if the lines were flowing along with it.
Yunlin was stunned.
After a few minutes, Yunfeng stopped.
"Wow!" Yun Lin couldn't help but sigh. The revised sketch was lifelike, just like the real thing.
Yunfeng handed him the painting tools, patted his shoulder and said, "Practice hard, you can do it too."
