Chen Mengguo was stunned for a while and then came back to her senses.
She said: "I admit that what Xiaoxue said is somewhat true. This supporting character 'Li Ke' is indeed different from other female characters.
But after all, she is just a sidekick now, and I will not ignore her priorities.
And I almost got caught by you.
My "Youth Love Song" is originally a youth campus love comic. What readers want to read is the complicated emotional entanglements of the relationship, I love you, you love her, but she hooks up with him, and various driving scenes... rather than anything else When it comes to studying, I can't let a sidekick influence my thinking. "
Jiang Xue was slightly disappointed when she heard this response. She simply felt that the original complex emotional scene plus the driving scene was too boring.
She hoped that "Li Ke" could take over and some more interesting plots would appear, but it was a pity that her aunt still insisted on her own opinion.
While she was disappointed, she also felt admiration, because this should be the attitude of a professional cartoonist.
Nowadays, the most popular part of "Youth Love Song" is still the "luxury circle is really chaotic" and the driving scene. Everyone is accustomed to the style of this work, and if you change it rashly, it is just nonsense.
This is like an author in an online novel who keeps writing according to routines and achieves acceptable results.
But one day, he decided not to follow the routine, and wanted to try something new, and write a plot that readers could not guess, but in the end he failed...
The so-called "since ancient times, true love cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts" This is the truth.
Sometimes the author thinks he has written a sincere plot, but readers just don't buy it, which is very frustrating.
"Is it necessary to reduce the appearance of the character 'Li Ke' and gradually make her invisible?" Jiang Xue asked.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mengguo smiled slightly and said calmly: "It's not necessary. Instead, I will slowly increase her role, first from a supporting role to a supporting role."
"Why?" Jiang Xue was a little surprised.
"Because I was convinced by you, and I also think this character is interesting. Let's make her more prominent and see how readers react.
Just because we both find it interesting does not mean that readers also find it interesting. My focus will always be on the characters and plots that are most popular with readers. "Chen Mengguo smiled.
"As expected of you, auntie, your keen grasp of the market has taught me a lot. No wonder, auntie, you have achieved such results in your first full-length serial." Jiang Xue admired.
Chen Mengguo was not modest, smiled, and continued to devote himself to creation.
I don’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that when she was drawing the character “Li Ke”, she was “writing like a god”!
It's as if this character has its own soul and will. She doesn't have to think about how to act. She can just rely on her own intuition to draw everything about the other person very smoothly!
She even felt like she couldn't control this character anymore!
Chen Mengguo was not surprised, but instead remembered many examples of other creators.
When they talk about the fate of a certain character in their works, especially some tragic characters, readers strongly request to modify the ending of the character, hoping that it will not be so miserable...
As a result, the creators pretended to tell the readers that there was no way to modify it, because the character in my work was no longer under my control. She had her own will and soul, and she was destined to be a tragedy!
Chen Mengguo has always felt that some creators who prefer to cause depression are blaming the blame.
Because in a sense, the creator is the creator of a certain world, and all characters should be his puppets. How can there be an ending that cannot be changed?
But now, in the process of creation, she suddenly understood——
The creator doesn't want to distort a character's will, but just wants her to move on her own, which will lead to this result.
Those works with particularly well-drawn group portraits should typically use characters to drive the plot, right?
It's just a pity for Chen Mengguo that she only feels this way when portraying the character "Li Ke".
When drawing other characters, she still felt dry. Comparing the two, she actually felt that it was wise to spend more pen and ink on "Li Ke"...
But she restrained this desire for the time being, because she didn't know yet whether readers would like it.
…
Naturally, Xu Qingru didn't know that Chen Mengguo, the creator of "Youth Love Song", was planning to add a role to the original supporting role "Li Ke".
Although she has been to the "Material World" twice before, because she never thought about staying there, she always set her character to be invincible so that she could travel around and obtain creative materials.
The shorter the time I stayed, the less impact I had on my real-life works. The movie "Qing Chuan: I Am the Queen" was a imaginative and weird mess, which caused a bit of trouble in the online literary circle. .
The author of another novel simply did not adopt the "inspiration".
But this time, Xu Qingru's purpose was to "teach science knowledge" in the "material world" of "Youth Love Song" instead of collecting creative materials, so she stayed for a long time.
Now she just hopes that this comic called "Youth Love Song" can be serialized as long as possible.
Although she was not interested in the plot of this comic at all, she decided to go to a bookstore outside the school on the weekend to buy the "Night" comic magazine and get a general understanding of this work in reality.
Xu Qingru has always been a steady person. She doesn't want to gamble on the author's character. Now she is seizing all the time to use the role of "Li Ke" to gain herself solid scientific knowledge.
Not only does she use her sleeping time at night to study, but when she is in the classroom during the day, as long as it is after class time, she will definitely "sleep" at her desk. In fact, she seizes the fragmented time to make up lessons in the "Material World" step by step!
In the eyes of other students, how could Xu Qingru be even more lethargic than Liu Guangpeng, who was nicknamed the "Sleeping God" during military training? Could it be that she couldn't bear the pressure of studying and completely collapsed?
You know, even the "god of sleep" Liu Guangpeng doesn't stay up late to practice like he did during military training. This is the benefit of putting away his mobile phone.
Now there is no "Sleeping God" in the class, but no one expected that there would be another "Sleeping Beauty" in the class...
Fortunately, Xu Qingru never "sleeps" during class and seems to listen attentively. Otherwise, her "lay down and do nothing" attitude would probably be punished.
Who would have thought that by "sleeping" day after day and seizing the time, Xu Qingru had already completely solidified the foundation of junior high school science knowledge through the role of "Li Ke" in a short period of time!
After all, she is not learning from scratch, but using "Li Ke" to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. Not to mention how happy she is when "sleeping"!
