Lin Hesen finished watching the recording of this day's game.
The bad friend seemed to have estimated the time it would take him to watch the recording, and almost sent a communication request on time, asking him very politely: "How was it? What do you think of Xiaochai's performance in this round?"
Lin Hesen said: "It's better to compare with the superior than with the inferior."
My friend hated his stubborn attitude and asked, "What happened to the script you wrote before?"
The communication suddenly went silent, and the people on the screen suddenly became static.
My friend was stunned for a moment, thinking that his personal terminal was malfunctioning. He said hello a few times and was about to use his mental energy to stimulate his personal side, but Lin Hesen reacted and said: "The script is not good, I'm thinking of writing another one. But I watched the game today and I think 610016 She should be quite suitable to star in a story she wrote herself. She has a very special temperament. This shell will probably have different effects when applied to herself than when applied to other actors."
The friend was silent for a moment, then suddenly complained: "Can't you be more honest, praise this little girl honestly, and admit that she not only has a beautiful body, but she also still has an interesting soul?"
After a few seconds of silence, the friend suddenly realized that the other party had turned off the phone.
After Lin Hesen hung up the phone, he thought to himself: You want me to admit it? How can it be? Do you think he has no face? Now that the words have been spoken, they cannot be swallowed back easily. At least, you can't take it back when Yin Lian participated in a mere May Dream.
He glanced at the virtual screen.
On the screen, a woman in a red dress is dancing with her husband.
Lin Hesen watched this scene several times, and her biggest impression was that the shell used by the actress of the heroine was not worthy of the article she wrote.
Yin Lian couldn't feel Lin Hesen's complicated psychological activities.
She is already continuing to catch up on the audition questions for "Hundred People, Hundreds of Faces".
After experiencing the second round of the competition, she felt that the nature of "Hundred People, Hundred Faces" and picture-in-picture are somewhat similar. However, picture-in-picture considers the complete overall drama writing ability, while the focus of "Hundred People, Hundred Faces" is still on character establishment. On top of techniques.
In the first script, she gave the heroine a very strong character impression at the beginning. In fact, it was a bit opportunistic, and it did not have much benefit in establishing the character. The real use was to shock the audience and retain her at the beginning. A more profound memory.
But how to perfect and highlight the character's personality next is what Yin Lian needs to spend more time thinking about.
To create a character with a distinct personality, you first need to give her a core trait. From the beginning of the first script, Yin Lian has basically determined the core qualities he wants to give Li Minglan.
——Just live.
Li Minglan has an unusual desire and enthusiasm for survival. Her desire to survive is extremely strong, which may be due to the psychological impact of facing the threat of death continuously at a certain moment.
Yin Lian imagined it, and for a moment she felt that Li Minglan's character was actually a bit like her previous life.
She was also like this at that time, trying all her strength to survive, and would even do anything to survive.
But characters who do whatever it takes to survive are actually not very likable. Just like Yin Lian before, although he was alive, he didn't know why he was alive. At that time, she was actually more like a beast that only followed instincts. Instigated by a strong desire to survive, she lived in confusion and had no idea of the reason for her survival, but she still persisted in wanting to live.
Yin Lian thought about Li Minglan's mentality and felt that she should have been like this at the beginning. I don’t know why I live, I don’t know who I live for, but I am still driven by instinct, always trying my best to survive, so I do whatever it takes.
But the confused protagonist is unlikable, not to mention that readers won't like it, and Yin Lian himself won't like it either.
So Yin Lian will let her slowly find the meaning and value of her own existence. Li Minglan's pursuit is not just to live, she must also live well, live strong, and live free. She has to live out her own value, the meaning and joy of life, so that she will not let down the price and determination she has paid to survive in this world.
After figuring this out, Yin Lian can slowly build up this character.
The "Picture-in-Picture" competition gave Yin Lian some experience in this kind of exam that requires questions to be asked step by step, and she knew how to deal with it. So in the following time, she calmly designed Li Minglan's mental changes in several different stages, and then when each new script appeared, she appropriately extracted the plots and stories she needed, and used them to promote the growth of the characters.
Another advantage of "Hundred People, Hundred Faces" compared to "Picture-in-Picture" is that it does not require players to create in the order of the story. Unlike the background settings in the picture-in-picture, which almost all take place in the same era at first glance, each of the scripts released in "Hundred People, Hundreds of Faces" has an independent era background. In other words, its script eras are not necessarily in order from far to near, so it is up to the players themselves to choose how to arrange the order of plot development.
Yin Lian has never tried this kind of writing method, but she is still very willing to challenge it.
The game soon reached the third round, and the players who appeared became more and more heavyweight. Yin Lian didn't perform very well in the second round, but she knew she had worked hard. The only thing she still has some hope for is that in the next competition, she hopes that after experiencing pressure, she will not lose confidence because of this, but can become stronger when encountering strong people, have an epiphany under pressure, and be able to progress to the same level as others. contend.
There are only 24 people left in this round, divided into four groups. Yin Lian was assigned to the first group for the first time, and the time was tighter than she expected.
However, Yin Lian's mental quality has always been surprisingly good, and she has not lost control of her emotions or become overly nervous because of the sudden tight schedule.
She was very comfortable entering the venue at her own pace.
As the number of people continues to decrease, the number of people Yin Lian meets acquaintances actually continues to increase. For example, this round, she drew Ke Ke and Ke Ke's senior brother Wei Yue again. This brother and sister seemed to be competing on the same stage for the first time when they entered the official competition, but Ke Ke was full of aggression and said: "Look at how I can throw him off in this game!"
Yin Lian feels that both Ke Ke and Yang Ke have some wonderful attitudes towards idols. If I have to say it, it’s probably the feeling of being naturally dark from pink to deep.
Ke Ke's senior brother entered anonymously. If Yin Lian didn't admit his mistake, he should be the player Yin Lian met in the first audition.
When she realized this, Yin Lian couldn't help but feel the wonder of the proof. Thinking about it carefully, she met many ranked contestants in the audition, and she didn't know whether she was more unlucky or the opponent was more unlucky.
Ke Ke ran to say hello to her senior brother. Although he was wearing a cloak, he still responded to the greeting by looking at his movements. When Yin Lian glanced past her, he gave her a business-like smile. Unexpectedly, Wei Yue nodded towards him, as if in response.
He was so aloof during the previous auditions, and Yin Lian thought he must be very difficult to get along with. But when they met at this time, Wei Yue's attitude was very different, and Yin Lian relabeled him as someone easy to get along with.
Every round and every game of May Dream seems to be a different game format. In this game, the players were competing in a brand-new competition mode. This competition mode was called "A Hundred Candles Are Extinguished". Compared with the previous two competitions that Yin Lian participated in, it seemed to be more competitive and entertaining. A lot.
And this time, Yin Lian and other contestants don't have to write stories until they die in a game. This seems to be a storytelling competition, and it is a storytelling competition with a game nature.
The rules of the game are roughly like this. Six contestants will form a group, and a hundred colorful candles will be placed around them. There will be a piece of wax paper with some keywords written on it next to the wick of these candles. The keywords on it are the players' suggestions. One hundred candles, a total of one hundred questions. These questions are classified according to style and type. Different types of prompt words will be stuck on candles of different colors. Contestants can choose the type that is easier for them to create based on the subject they are good at.
After selecting the keyword, the candle will be lit. Once the candle burns, the player whose turn it is is required to tell an impromptu story before the wax paper is completely melted. If a complete story is told before the wax paper melts completely, the storyteller gets one point, and if the story gets excellent ratings from at least four judges, the story gets a total of three points.
The final ranking is calculated based on total points.
A total of one hundred candles were distributed among six people, so it was naturally impossible to distribute them equally. The format of the competition is a round-robin format, that is, six players select candles in order. If the candle chosen by No. 1 completes the story according to the prompt words, No. 2 will continue to choose the second candle. If No. 1 does not even have the basic points. If No. 2 gets it, then No. 2 can continue to tell stories with his keywords. If No. 2 fails to score, it will be postponed to No. 3, and so on.
Rotation and postponement are both clockwise systems, that is, No. 1 is the key word of the draw. The first player in the postponement is No. 2, and No. 2 is the key word of the No. 2 draw. If the score fails, No. 3 will be the substitute. The player's final score is not only affected by luck and the fit of the question, but also by the abilities and performance of other players.
Because it is a virtual world, the candle is actually just a special timer, just made to look like a candle. But even so, Yin Lian could not help but think of a special game played by Zhu Jinguo when he was on Earth, which was the story of hundreds of things.
In fact, the two have many similarities, although there are also various detailed differences.
For example, "A Hundred Candles Are Out" does not require players to tell ghost stories. It also has special topics (keywords) that require players to tell completely original stories. Of course, you can tell a ghost story if you want - Yin Lian looked at Ke Ke who was at the front of the queue and felt that she was already a little eager to give it a try.
In fact, ghost stories are the best stories to tell live.
After the game started, Yin Lian found that the surrounding background environment had changed significantly, and it slowly turned into a grassland like a fairy tale. The flowers on the grass are all kinds of candies, and there are candy houses and chocolate waterfalls in the distance. Rock candy apples and rock candy oranges hang on the trees. Even the butterflies flying around are made of dark chocolate and chocolate if you look closely. It consists of white chocolate and fruit candies.
Yin Lian was curious, wondering if there would be any chocolate frogs jumping out of the pool.
Then the chairs they were sitting on slowly sank into the ground. Yin Lian hurriedly changed her sitting position. After reacting, she found that the others had also changed to sitting directly on the grass. Then she saw the candles—a total of five colors, but each one had a completely different shape. For example, there are red candles in the shape of flowers, lollipops, magic wands, and cherry bunches.
The colors are red, yellow, blue, green and black.
Ke Ke chose a black cane-shaped candle without hesitation.
Then Yin Lian found that the surrounding scenery suddenly changed again.
The chair rose again, even slowly lifting her feet off the ground. Yin Lian is not short in height - although she is still a bit petite compared to adults, she is already quite tall among her peers. In this case, the chair could also lift her heels off the ground, and its height was definitely above average.
After the environment change was completed, Yin Lian found that the surrounding scene had turned into a background similar to an old castle, and the candles had also turned into striped candles placed on elevated shelves, separated by their respective colors and white. Six people were sitting on high-backed chairs, which were distributed on both sides of a long Gothic table.
The host Zhang Ge didn't know when he had changed into a set of clothes full of medieval European style, then sat at the front of the long table and said: "Then, let the first guest start telling her story."
Ke Ke seemed to be used to situations like this, and casually announced the keywords he had drawn.
It read: Sleep with Love.
