After deciding on the theme of the story, Sun Quan began to try to write the character settings in the document.

In the story about Dad, several characters can be set in advance.

For example, Dad (the male protagonist), how to set up this character?

Sun Quan sat in front of the computer, with many thoughts flashing through his mind, including the actor's name, age, family background, growth path, and where the child came from.

He had seen the children in some nanny stories before. In fact, they were not the hero's biological children, but just picked up.

But he didn’t want to write such a pseudo-nanny article.

Since I want to write about a nanny, I will write about a biological child.

So, this involves the male protagonist’s failed marriage. How did that marriage begin? How did it end? What was his personality like? How was the relationship between the couple during their marriage to the male protagonist?

Is it because he died, so only the hero and the child are left?

Or did you dump the leading actor and the child for some reason?

etc.

There are a lot of issues to consider.

And this is the tedious part of opening a new book. Every detail must be considered, otherwise bugs will easily appear when writing the text.

Many times, some characters who have no chance to appear in the text need to be set up when writing the outline.

Because this may involve what kind of attitude a certain character in the book has towards another character, or something else.

After sitting in front of the computer for a long time, Sun Quan temporarily wrote down this setting:

"Huangshan: Male, 26 years old, got married 4 years ago. His family was well off when he was young. His father, Huang Yongzhi, was a pig butcher. He came to have a son when he was old. Before him, he had three sisters, but because Huang Yongzhi favored sons,

The serious thought of contemplating girls caused the three daughters to fall out with Huang Yongzhi early on, and they also had no contact with Huangshan.

Four years ago, Huang Shan had just reached the age of marriage and Huang Yongzhi, who had long wanted to have a grandson, proposed marriage to Huang Shan, who had just graduated from college. He ignored Huang Shan's own wishes and forced Huang Shan to get married without getting a marriage certificate because

The woman was not of marriageable age. The reason why the 18-year-old girl married him was because her biological father had passed away long ago, and her mother was still young and remarried. After the remarriage, she gave birth to a pair of twin sons. The girl's

The stepfather and mother felt that it was too difficult to raise three children, so they asked the girl who had just entered the third year of high school to drop out of school and make the decision for the girl. She agreed to the marriage proposal of Huangshan's father Huang Yongzhi. After that, at the age of 18, she married the girl who had just graduated from college.

Huangshan, who was only 22 years old, got married.

There has been no love between the couple since the day they got married.

Girls yearn for the outside world and a free life.

As for Huangshan... he was depressed because his father forcibly arranged a blind date and marriage. He didn't like this kind of life. He had just graduated from college and wanted to start a career, but his father's forced arrangement made him lose interest in life.

With his longing and fighting spirit, he began to muddle along, and he was just perfunctory about his work.

But in the second year after they got married, the girl got pregnant, and more than nine months later, she gave birth to a child..."

After writing this setting, Sun Quan frowned.

Because he hasn't decided yet whether the cute baby in this book is a boy or a girl.

In the Qidian Daddy novels he had read before, most of the cute babies in the books were girls.

He also knows the advantage of writing the child in the novel "Nanny" as a girl.

For example: girls are cuter and easier to like, and it will be much less difficult for the male protagonist to find a partner in the future, etc.

All in all, there are many benefits.

But he wanted to make it more difficult for himself.

If the child in this book was written as a boy... it would be much more difficult for the male protagonist to find a partner in the future, right?

This is the downside.

But he has always believed that everything has both positive and negative effects. If there are negative effects, there will naturally be beneficial effects.

For example: if you choose to write the child as a boy, when the hero and heroine get together in the future, the drama conflict will be more intense, such as the dissuasion of the heroine's parents and relatives, for example, the boy is naughty and willful, and initially strongly opposes his father.

Find him a new mother...etc.

And more intense plot conflicts, if handled well, can often create more touching plots.

Another example: if it were a boy, the relationship between father and son would be very touching if it was written with sufficient detail. However, most of the readers of Qidian Men’s Channel are men, so they can better understand the relationship between father and son.

etc.

Within a moment, Sun Quan thought of several advantages of writing the children in this book as boys.

He was not in a hurry to write this setting into the previous setting.

Instead, I looked back at the setting I just wrote.

He didn't just write these settings randomly, every paragraph has his intention.

For example, the name of the male protagonist is "Huangshan". At first glance, this name seems to be chosen randomly, and it is easy for people to wonder whether this name was given when recharging the phone bill.

Actually not!

It's not like he couldn't come up with a better name for the male protagonist.

He did it on purpose.

The name "Huangshan" is simple and easy to remember. When Sun Quan flashed this name in his mind and wrote the name into the document, a thought flashed in his mind: This name can be used in the rest of this book.

Draw out some relevant plots.

For example: Because of the simple and easy-to-remember name "Huangshan", the male protagonist's classmates and friends from childhood to adulthood still remember his name clearly even after many years.

Some of them used the name Huangshan frequently to make fun of the male protagonist when they were students.

When we meet again after many years and see the male protagonist in desolation, we come forward to laugh at him again. This is very convenient to attract hatred, and it is also convenient to create several inferior opponents for the male protagonist.

Also, because of the name "Huangshan", the male protagonist's popularity was actually quite good when he was a student, because many classmates liked to tease him about his name, which was helpful for the male protagonist to have a good relationship with his classmates when he was a student.

Therefore, it is logical to set up several classmates with whom the male protagonist has good relationships.

You can even create one or two female classmates who have a crush on him.

Of course, Sun Quan had other considerations when naming the male protagonist "Huangshan".

For example: the name Huangshan reflects the cultural level of the male protagonist's father, Huang Yongzhi, a pig butcher. At the same time, the name also expresses Huang Yongzhi's expectations for his son Huangshan, hoping that this son can be as strong and tough as the mountain.

…

In addition, Sun Quan also had a purpose in setting up three sisters for the male protagonist Huangshan in the setting just now.

First, the existence of three sisters can well explain the reason why Huang Yongzhi came to have a son at an old age.

Because Huang Yongzhi was a pig butcher, when he was young, his income was not low, and the food at home was good. Huang Yongzhi himself was tall and tall, and his appearance was not ugly. Therefore, under normal circumstances, Huang Yongzhi's age at marriage was not

It will be very late.

But Sun Quan wanted to add a setting to the identity of the male protagonist that he would get a son when he was old enough.

Therefore, he had to give a suitable reason to explain why Huang Yongzhi came of age to have a son.

Of course, there are actually many ways to reasonably explain why Huang Yongzhi came of age to have a son.

For example: Although Huang Yongzhi was tall and powerful, his income from killing pigs was not low, and he was not late to get married, he failed to get his wife pregnant for N years after getting married, so it was not until N years later that Huang Shan was born.

This reason is completely valid.

This setting also flashed through Sun Quan's mind just now, but he didn't use it.

Because he felt that adding three sisters to the male protagonist Huang Shan would not only enrich the image of the character Huang Yongzhi in the plot later in the book, but also enrich the character through the indifference and even hostility of Huang Shan's three sisters to him.

It reflects the harshness of the world and the complexity of people's hearts.

By describing Huang Yongzhi's contempt for his three daughters, it can shape Huang Yongzhi's very traditional patriarchal thinking, and at the same time reflect the importance he attaches to Huangshan, his son. This can then reasonably explain why Huang Yongzhi wants to control so much.

The life of my son Huangshan.

Because he paid too much attention to his son, and also because Huang Yongzhi was obsessed with traditional succession, when he was getting older and his health was getting worse, he desperately wanted his son Huangshan to get married early and hold him in his arms during his lifetime.

his own grandson.

…

As for the setting just now, why was the age of the male protagonist’s ex-wife when they married the male protagonist set to 18?

Sun Quan also had many considerations.

As the saying goes, youth is invincible.

Sun Quan believed that the benefits of setting the male protagonist's ex-wife's age when she married him to 18 are obvious. An 18-year-old girl has white skin, beauty, and invincible youth, so he gave the male protagonist Huang Shan a very complicated psychology.

Feel.

On the one hand, Huang Shan, who had just graduated from college, deeply resented the marriage arranged by his father.

When he was in college, there was a girl he liked, and that girl also had a crush on him. Before he got married, he mustered up the courage to call that female classmate.

On the phone, he confessed his love, and the female classmate agreed that she could try to date him.

But the tragedy is also here.

The female classmate only agreed to try dating him.
