Many times, a book is judged badly in depicting characters, so it is said that "the characters have no face", which seems to be synonymous with "portraying characters badly". In fact, this is just a kind of "poverty" in depicting characters. In online novels, most of them are worse than no face, and there is no face at all. To sum up, the face is blurred and the characters are indistinguishable.

What is Facebook? For example, in Beijing Opera (or other operas), actors play a specific role and paint on their faces, while treacherous Cao Cao paints a white face and loyal Guan Yu paints a red face ... Facebook is a pattern, a symbolic symbol, and he marks "treachery" with "white face". The long-standing inertia makes the audience automatically remember and agree that this role is treacherous as soon as they see the white face-this is the role of Facebook. It uses conventional symbols to stimulate the audience to directly identify people and images.

So Facebook, on the one hand, means mechanical rigidity, lack of change and rich content; On the other hand, it has the advantages of simplicity, feasibility and obvious effect.

By the way, you are not mistaken, it is vivid-because it is established.

For example, the character "template" in classical romance often has a lucky general, a fool and a wise man, all of which are condoms. Just put it on. Zhang Fei, Li Kui jy, Zhuge Liang or Liu Bowen can all be described in literary works.

For a low-level writer, being able to put on a good face is success.

Objectively speaking, even if the writing skills are strong or weak, it is unrealistic to write a word with several strokes. Only enough scenes, enough participation in the plot and enough exhibition space can leave a deep impression on readers. A literary master can break through this point to a certain extent, and the characters created with fewer words are better than those created by mediocre writers with 654.38+ million words. But if he creates different characters himself, it is often better to write more characters and appear more.

Look at the Three Kingdoms and Water Margin. Do they really paint a vivid image with few words? Not necessarily. They are all "borrowing from the east wind" because the characters in their stories were widely circulated in operas, storytelling and historical records before the novel was created-the audience of these characters are no strangers, but they have a rough template of what a strategist should look like, which is roughly musical, so when Wu Yongyi wrote it, everyone felt very similar.

This is especially true for modern readers. With the role of cultural infiltration and various derivative works, readers can easily identify with their own characters. The Three Kingdoms of Water Margin itself is the inheritance of Facebook, and it also makes itself the most authoritative Facebook-the standard is set by others, and we certainly think it is the "most similar".

A Dream of Red Mansions of the same level or higher, why are its characters not easier to penetrate into the hearts of the broadest public readers than the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin? Although you carefully taste the characters, they are quite vivid and distinctive, but the premise is to read books carefully, and the Three Kingdoms, even if you watch TV dramas, will deeply remember Zhang Fei's character-this is the formation of cultural symbols and the difference of Facebook.

On the basis of the original Facebook, it is easier and more labor-saving to make changes, and the effect is very good. One of the most convenient advantages of writing fans is that the characters have been firmly established from the original (for lazy eggs, it is boring to follow the original plot or even copy it).

When others criticize you, you can't write about people, or you can only write a certain kind of people well: brave and enterprising people, which is what he is best at, and others can't be written. But it is good that Buddha is a Taoist figure, which is inseparable from the fact that Buddha is a common role in mythology and a Taoist figure with a good concrete image. Do you still use it to describe how shameless it is to burn lights? The id of the burning lamp is on your head, and that face suddenly emerges-for readers who have seen the Romance of the Gods. Another example is "inviting Taoist friends to stay overnight". You can write an auspicious sign in five words.

In addition, "anti-Facebook" itself is a special kind of Facebook. I invented this word. For example, in "The First Chaos in History", Qin Shihuang is full of Shaanxi accent, seemingly a kind-hearted fat man, which is quite reasonable, and occasionally says "sprinkle"; The first assassin of Cool Slag is actually 2b Slag-this is what I call "anti-Facebook". What is the specific image? I want to subvert it. Just go against it. When the white one was painted black, the audience was suddenly refreshed. "Oh, the XXX in this book turned out to be like this." Then occasionally show the original image characteristics of the characters, and you can mix comments such as "rich characters" and "complex human nature"-by the way, some Wen Qing deliberately let the protagonist do something very tangled, which is also the kind of mentality that "self-contradiction means complex human nature and profound characters" ... What are you talking about? In a concrete and solidified image, this effect is reversed. Your own role has not been well portrayed, and your personality is not clear-if you start to play subversion without a foothold, it will be chaotic and chaotic.

For most works that can't be directly applied to existing roles, you can also set up an "image template". Facebook can be painted on the face of any character. It's not that writing about the Three Kingdoms requires using Cao Cao with a white face and Zhang Fei with a black face.

For the application of Facebook, Riman has actually done a good job, and online writers are constantly learning, applying and innovating. Compared with traditional literature, many new corresponding patterns of "image" and "behavior" have been developed, and these patterns have accumulated into new faces.

For example, some net writers like to add "talkative attribute" and "road idiot" to their roles. Such characters are usually cute. What is the concept of "cuteness"? A strict definition is hard to say. It is accumulated by various "image"-"behavior" modes: the image characteristics of people with behavior like ABCDE are budding.

I think it is helpful to collect more elements of Facebook or complete Facebook for characterization.

The biggest advantage of Butterfly Blue in depicting characters is vividness, clarity, vividness and deep impression. The humorous language of life makes the characters seem to be in front of us.

The disadvantage is that "homogeneity" is more serious (compared with a good book in a physical book, the net text is still good), and Butterfly is best at depicting "outsiders, insiders":

The surface is cold and mature, and there is a fire hidden inside;

Humor, poisonous snake, but kind in nature;

There is no lower limit, no moral integrity, ideal, pursuit and perseverance.

The role of butterfly is the best and the most, which is too repetitive according to traditional literary standards.

When Fang Rui, Lao Wei and Ye Xiu, or Zhang Jia Le and Lin Jingyan are spitting, can you tell who is talking? It's almost the same, but the homogenization is serious. For example, Harry Potter has a high degree of distinction between important roles.

Fang Rui is obscene, but he has great courage in the face of life choices. Zhang Jiale's persistence, cruel abandonment, and the self-mockery and optimism of Asia's fourth "I'm not used to it"; Ye Xiu is everywhere, irritating, and fell asleep after the challenge; Old Wei's lips trembled and applauded Jiashi, who was out. ...

It's amazing. It's similar. They have the same language expression, similar behavior patterns and the same spiritual core: under the cynical and free-and-easy appearance, there is a persistent and firm heart with ideals and pursuits.

For online novels, in fact, the biggest problem is not that the similarity of characters is not good and Facebook is not good, but that Facebook is vague and has no characteristics. After reading it, I can't remember it at all Writers who can describe a certain kind of people and write a certain kind of characteristics are great. Dream like a dream, criticized for not writing people. In fact, he is only good at writing about brave and enterprising people, and the others are a little worse.

But butterflies are smarter than ordinary writers, and their pen power is stronger. He really used some means to make the characters "brilliant".

In butterfly's works, Ye Xiu, Lao Wei and Fang Rui are the most figures, but there are also some slightly changed derivative figures, such as Huang Shaotian, who is an outstanding figure because he is talkative.

In fact, Huang Shao's personality is basically the same as that of Ye Xiu, and he is also an "outsider". You see, he is talkative at ordinary times, silent about the peak, seemingly free and easy, persistent in his heart, and passionate.

In creation, butterflies use tagging to avoid the homogenization of their roles. For example, Huang Shaotian, who is very similar to the one mentioned above, has one of the most remarkable characteristics-talkative, which is different immediately. This is also a simple and effective way.

Just like a person's face, it is naturally difficult to remember, but if there is a scar, you will remember it. In fact, you don't remember the five senses, but only the scars, because this feature is the most obvious and the most beautiful.

During the day, this is a common method. Why does Rukawa Kaede sleep in a daze in class and always bump into people when riding a bike? Why is Master Roshi lascivious? Why are some characters road crazy (also used by melee wizards, imperial gods)? ....

It is a complicated matter to portray the character's heart and personality, which is difficult to be reflected through a series of behaviors, languages and life choices. Then, in order to make the characters "have their own characteristics", you can stick "small labels", so that the degree of differentiation of the characters will come out.

Zhang Xinjie: Rigorous and meticulous.

Zhou: Yeah. ...

Huang Shaotian: Do I talk much? Is it a lot? Is it a lot? Is it a lot?

Yu Wenzhou: Handdisability.

Steamed bread: die. What sign are you in?

.......................

Repeating these, that is, constantly strengthening "small features" and "small labels" instead of complete and complex characters, is a good choice to make the characters clear. After all, a character is a combination of features, and it is also successful to write a feature that impresses readers.

You don't really believe that there is a person like a steamed stuffed bun whose mouth is always out of tune. Of course, there are people who are off-line, but they can't escape. Such people always have other personalities, outlook on life and so on.

But the steamed stuffed bun always presents a jumping state-because it is a literary creation, the essence of portraying characters is to strengthen or even extreme the characteristics existing in life, so that readers can remember it.

Even many physical books seem to be silhouettes of certain characteristics rather than real people-"Gao Daquan" is a common example of spitting and extremely positive characters' brilliant personality. Only a few masterpieces can do better.
