Jiang Liumei held the heavy manuscript of "The Summer of the Birds". Once she fell into the story, she couldn't extricate herself. She read it for more than ten hours. It was not until six o'clock in the afternoon that she read the entire story of "The Summer of the Birds". Finished reading.
Placing the manuscript of "The Summer of the Bird" on the table, Jiang Liumei stretched out her waist vigorously, rubbed her tired shoulders and neck with her hands, and then raised her head and looked across the table, intending to take a look. Look what Kyousuke Maijo is doing.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised his head, he met Maishiro Kesuke's eyes.
When their eyes met, the two of them turned their heads in unison.
It was the thick-skinned Kyousuke Maijo who took the lead in breaking the awkward atmosphere:
"Miss Jiangliu, have you finished reading the story of "The Summer of Guhuo Bird"?"
"I'd like to hear what you think of this work."
Jiang Liumeili took a sip of tea, her face returned to the expression that a magazine editor should have, and she said with a smile:
"Feelings? Perhaps only 'unbelievable' can describe my current mood, right?"
"The protagonist behaves strangely like a mental patient, the exorcist who wears a bad face all day long but has extraordinary abilities, the Riddler detective who can see other people's memories because of an eye injury, and the dull and upright detective."
"The woman who was twenty months pregnant was unable to give birth, the husband who mysteriously disappeared in the secret room, the babies who died in a series of weird and mysterious deaths, the corpses that could not be seen because they didn't want to see them, the terrible motive of being obsessed with offspring, the unbearable tragedy for a family , the bird will become a reason to give birth to a daughter in the summer.”
"Although these strange things are almost impossible to happen in the real world, Teacher Wucheng, you still used your excellent writing style to successfully deceive me!"
"Although I don't know how the public will accept this kind of story, for me personally, this "The Summer of Birds" has truly achieved the level that no one has ever seen or listened to. However, it is an achievement that others will never be able to describe!”
Jiang Liumei opened the manuscript of "The Summer of the Bird", took out her notebook from the briefcase on the side, and wrote a series of notes while talking:
"I don't know what your creative philosophy is, Mr. Wucheng."
"But let me use my own thinking to sort out what I saw."
"In the story of "The Summer of Birds", you created the first exorcist detective in history, and also created the first detective with super powers who can see the memories of others."
"At the same time, Teacher Wucheng, you have also pioneered the use of psychological disorders, mental illness, group unconsciousness, and false pregnancy. You have successfully closely connected diseases with monsters and birds in folklore, and packaged them into An excellent mystery.”
"Although if this kind of story is shown to readers, the readers will definitely shout that they were deceived after reading it. However, this groundbreaking design can really be regarded as a stroke of genius, even compared with "Astrology Killing Magic" let!"
"And the most important thing is the atmosphere of terror and thrill created in it."
"To be honest, the scene where Reijiro Enokizu opened the door and saw the corpse, and the scene where Kyogokudo exorcised the demon and caused the stomach to explode, really made me feel like I was watching a thriller movie!"
When Maijo Kyousuke heard Eryu's beautiful words, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then he continued to add:
"Ms. Jiangliu, your summary of "Summer of the Bird" is very good, but there is one thing you didn't mention. But this is normal, after all, Mr. Yushan didn't notice it either."
When Eryumei heard what Maijo Kyousuke said, her face showed a trace of confusion. She clapped her fingers with her memories and thought about the questions she had not thought of. However, because the story of "Summer of the Bird Bird" was too complicated and confusing, .
Eryumei thought about it for three or four minutes, but she didn't expect what Kyousuke Maijo said.
"Teacher Wucheng, I really can't think of it. Could you please tell me?"
Maijo Kyousuke pointed to the word 'I' in the manuscript of "The Summer of the Bird" and said:
"What I want to say is the 'me' in the story, which is the third-rate writer Tatsumi Sekiguchi."
When Eryomei heard Maijo Kyousuke mention Sekiguchi Tatsumi, she seemed to think of something, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't remember them.
Seeing Eryomei's anxious look on her face, Maijo Kyousuke didn't hesitate:
"Ms. Eryu, like Mr. Uyama, you have put all your energy into the mystery of Gezi's failure to give birth after twenty months of pregnancy, Mu Lang's mysterious disappearance in the secret room, and the mysterious deaths of babies in Kuonji Hospital. But I ignored another layer of mystery I set up in the book."
“To put it simply, I used a lot of narrative trickery in The Summer of Birds.”
Maijo Kyousuke grabbed the pen, and while writing on the manuscript paper, he explained:
"When it comes to narrative conspiracies, we have to mention Agatha Christie, the queen of reasoning who just passed away four years ago. One of her masterpieces, "The Roger Mystery", is a combination of narrative conspiracies. A masterpiece that will be carried forward!”
“Simply put, narrative trickery means that the author uses writing techniques and story structure to conceal or mislead certain key evidence from the readers, until the truth is finally revealed, leaving the readers with an unspeakable sense of consternation! "
"A common narrative trick is character narrative."
"For example, a person is clearly a man, but the description in the text makes the reader mistakenly think that he is a woman."
"A person is obviously a young man, but he is misled into becoming an old man."
“The reader thinks the person they see in the story is A, but in fact that person is B.”
"What's more, people always think that A is a person, but in fact A is a dog. This is a ridiculous character narrative."
"After that, it's time and space."
"The author uses a lot of words to narrate the story, but the time or space given is confused and finally appears."
“Stories that readers think take place on the same day actually take place decades ago and now.”
"Or maybe it's a story that also happened in 'Central Park'. In fact, one happened in 'Central Park' in Shinjuku, Japan, and the other happened in 'Central Park' in Nagoya."
"In addition to character narratives, time narratives, and space narratives, there are also cognitive narratives, such as the common color blindness that cannot distinguish colors, or auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, and misleading evidence."
After Maishiro Keisuke briefly explained the types of narrative tricks for Eryumi, he drew a circle on cognitive narrative tricks with a pen:
"Going back to the original topic, in the book "The Summer of Birds", in addition to the mysteries that you have always noticed, I also cleverly used cognitive narrative tricks to lay the groundwork for the story."
"Tatsumi Sekiguchi in the story is mentally abnormal, irritable, timid, and has low self-esteem. It seems that everyone in the story despises him and is targeting him. But in the end, when the truth is revealed, everyone discovers that Tatsumi Sekiguchi is. He is the biggest mystery in the story, and he is also the sickest person."
"I used this trick of 'unreliable narrator'. First of all, I am paying homage to Teacher Agatha's "Roger Mystery"."
"Secondly, I tried my best to reduce the mention of the name 'Guankou Sunda'. In the entire book of more than 300,000 words, I mentioned the name 'Guankou Sunda' only nine times."
"Why did I design it this way?"
"Because I want to enhance the sense of immersion in the story and make readers think that they are the 'Sekiguchi Tatsumi' in the story."
"The reader is watching "The Summer of the Bird", following 'Tatsumi Sekiguchi' through an exorcism ceremony hosted by 'Kyogokudo'!"
"While the demon in Sekiguchi Tatsumi's heart was exorcised, the doubts in the readers' hearts were also solved!"
