Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 61 The Art of Slaying Dragons.

"Let's return to the plot of 'The Great Thousand Worlds.' What impressed everyone the most was the family assessment you released a few days ago. The second part, the chapter about obtaining items by diving, drove readers crazy. Many authors said they were amazed, never expecting that novels could be written like this. Could you tell us about it?"

Xiao Chao continued to ask questions.

This was certainly not the question he wanted to ask.

These days.

He compiled a list of common questions that authors want to ask on Sky.com.

This issue has garnered significant attention.

Chen Yang didn't give it much thought.

This is a writing technique issue.

In the past, not only would the author be able to explain this to you, but even the readers could do so in great detail.

Chen Yang said, "Thank you everyone, it's really nothing. The reason why everyone thinks it's so exciting is, on the one hand, because of the subject matter. Since everyone hasn't read this kind of subject matter before, it feels fresh. On the other hand, this part of the plot also uses a lot of writing techniques. In summary, I would call the techniques used in these chapters 'three flips and four shocks'."

"Three flips and four tremors?"

"Correct."

What is meant by "three flips and four tremors"?

"The 'three flips and four shakes' technique is derived from the 'three flips and four shakes' technique in crosstalk. We know that the most important thing in crosstalk is to deliver the punchline. The punchline cannot be delivered all at once. If it is delivered too simply, there will be no funny point, and the audience will not enjoy it. It must go through layers of design. The layers of design here are the 'three flips,' which means three sets of build-up. Actually, it is not three sets of build-up, but multiple sets of build-up... Through multiple sets of build-up, the final comedic effect is better."

“We don’t write novels like we do stand-up comedy. In fantasy, we don’t pursue comedy. We pursue plot twists, excitement, and shock. So we can use multiple foreshadowings to ultimately shock the characters in the story and also shock the readers.”

Chen Yang types very quickly; he can type out whatever comes to mind in an instant.

The authors had already picked up their notebooks and started taking notes.

"I was shocked. I never imagined that there were so many intricacies involved in writing online novels."

"No wonder he's a master. I thought writing novels was just about burying your head in your work."

"Hehe, you need to learn more. Just like what Bu Yang said about the three flips and four shocks, if you just bury yourself in writing, you probably won't be able to write it in your whole life."

“I understand now. This chapter on Bu Yang Da is far from just three or four reversals. It’s thirty reversals and forty reversals.”

"It seems you've already experienced it. Congratulations! I look forward to your new book."

"Hmm, I still need to digest this. I've only grasped the basics."

Everyone felt both excited and grateful.

To help everyone understand better, Chen Yang then broke down the plot he had written: "Look, everyone. When the protagonist Ye Chen went underwater, everyone thought his limit was 150 zhang (approximately 120 meters), but he went straight to 160 zhang. Just when everyone thought 160 zhang was already a monster, the protagonist dived to 170 zhang... This constant ups and downs creates huge emotional fluctuations, and the resulting thrill is much more exciting than a single instance of showing off and getting slapped in the face."

Chen Yang shared his writing techniques in detail with everyone.

Subsequently.

Xiao Chao then handed the topic over to a group of authors from SkyNet.

Today is Sunday, and Chen Yang has a little free time.

Therefore, there is no limit on the number of participants for the time being.

The first author to ask a question asked, "Bu Yangda, your explanation of the concepts of Eastern fantasy and the 'three flips and four shocks' was excellent. However, I haven't fully digested it yet. I'm just a small-time author, so there's one question I still don't understand."

"You said."

"That is, my book has 10 words, but there are only a few comments. I feel that my writing is not bad. Moreover, I have also listened to your Golden Three Chapters Theory before. I think the first three chapters are not bad, so why do so few people read my book?"

This is actually a problem for most new authors as well.

Chen Yang was also a new author at one point.

He was all too aware of the series of problems they encountered in their writing.

Then, Chen Yang replied, "I haven't seen your work yet, so I don't know how well it's written. However, writing a book is indeed a rather subjective matter. Self-evaluation isn't particularly accurate. You can ask other author friends or readers to take a look. Also, if other people think your writing is good, then you can check if there's a problem with the synopsis and title."

At this point, Chen Yang added, "Actually, the Three Golden Chapters theory I mentioned doesn't necessarily mean everyone has to follow it exactly. If we think about it further, why are there three golden chapters? Why isn't it just one golden chapter? Isn't three chapters too long?"

"Holy crap, a golden chapter."

The authors were completely dumbfounded.

They never expected that the three golden chapters could transition into the one golden chapter.

Before they could fully process what was going on, Chen Yang asked again, "Then why is it the 'Golden Chapter'? Why not the 'Golden Introduction'?"

"An introduction to gold?"

"Yes. If you can even come up with a synopsis for 'Gold,' why not just use 'Gold' as the book's title?"

There was a bang.

Everyone felt as if a bomb had been thrown out of nowhere.

Chen Yang's writing sharing today completely overturned all their previous knowledge of writing.

Perhaps everyone hasn't fully digested this yet.

But Chen Yang believed.

His mention of the "golden chapter," the "golden introduction," and the "golden title"... will undoubtedly have a huge impact on their minds.

Ultimately, this is transformed into the artwork.

This has led many authors with average talent to embark on the path of online writing.

……

This writing sharing session was originally scheduled to last about an hour and a half.

However, the authors were so enthusiastic that they ended up adding another half hour.

Although everyone's enthusiasm didn't wane, Chen Yang still had to write, so he had to tell everyone that there would be another opportunity next time.

After the college entrance exam, there will be more time.

Everyone stopped talking when they heard Chen Yang mention the college entrance examination.

The college entrance exam is important.

We can't let Mr. Bu Yang's classes be disrupted.

Those students are the flowers of our motherland.

"last question."

An author named "Cola" grabbed the question.

He was a little excited, and then said, "No, I don't have any questions. I got the chance to ask a question because I wanted to thank you. Thank you for coming to our SkyNet website, and thank you for sharing so much writing knowledge with us. You know, no expert has ever come here before; you are the first. And the writing knowledge you shared with us, I don't even know what to say."

"It's nothing, actually."

Chen Yang explained to his friend, "Friend, there's no need for that. What I shared is nothing special. There are many writing techniques I haven't shared. There are also many more writing techniques that I can't explain clearly in words. Besides, what I said today may not be accurate. Times are changing, and online literature is also evolving. What we consider golden rules now may not be very useful in a few years."

"I don't want to boast, but I still want to say thank you, I'm truly grateful. I know that in your eyes, you might think these techniques are nothing special. But in the eyes of us aspiring writers, what you shared with us is more than just writing techniques. What you shared with us is the writing process, the writing philosophy. For me, this might be what I make a living in the future; it's the dragon-slaying skill you passed on to us..."

Speaking of it.

The author was already running out of things to say.
The other authors also couldn't help but feel their vision blurring.

They knew that this was how Bu Yang had taught them a way to make a living.

They know it better.

It's not a simple matter for them to come to SkyNet without revealing their great power.

Often, some authors never encounter such a master to guide them in their entire lives.
