Long Yi's new edition of "Novel Technique" anatomical writing

Tianjin writer Long Yi summed up years of experience in novel creation, "Novel Technology", which was recently launched by the Tianjin People's Publishing House. "I found myself following a concise and clear path of novel creation, following the artistic laws of novels, creating while learning, not being tempted by literary trends and the achievements of my peers, and adhering to established self-knowledge." Ryuichi said.

A good story does not equal a good novel, stories are important, but writing is also a craft. The high level of writing technology determines the difference in the taste of the novel. Novel technology is how to keep the reader's attention for a long time. In "Novel Technology", Ryuichi dissects the text of short and medium stories by hemingway, Maugham, Lao She, Jack London and other literary masters; disassembles the various elements of the novel - the beginning, the turning point, the main character, the confrontation character, the secondary character, the comedy character, and expounds the 15 sources of the novel's interest; tells the experience of how works such as "Latent", "Borrowing a Gun", and "Codename" have been adapted into popular film and television dramas. The book provides not only a way for writing enthusiasts, but also a guide for the average reader to understand the structure of the story.

In Long Yi's view, the technical and artistic problems of the novel require both gradual cultivation and a momentary epiphany. "This kind of cultivation and epiphany, in the practice of writing for many years, drives the novelist to constantly self-criticize, self-overthrow and self-reconstruction, until it reaches a temporary balance in one work after another." Serious discussion of novel technology, the ultimate goal is to retain readers. Ryuichi said that readers are looking forward to a feast that satisfies a variety of tastes, "Our task is how to make readers accept our hidden thoughts in the satisfaction of pleasure." Let every practitioner love the reader with respect, and do not let them leave because of the poor writing skills of our writing, otherwise the novelist will die first."
