As the beginning of a story, the most important thing is to attract readers to read on.

What kind of beginning can make readers want to find out?

The beginning of the story in six modes is for your reference.

1. Import of unexpected events

The so-called unexpected events are generally unusual events. For example: "In the middle of the night, she was woken up by an unexpected phone call." Most of the time, a phone call that is too early or too late is not a good thing. In the same way, it can also be replaced by a knock on the door in the middle of the night, a sudden visit from a relative who has never been with you, etc. This unusual and unexpected event makes the reader feel like something is going on.

2. Create suspense

Creating suspense is to arouse the reader's curiosity.

For example: "Zhao Minghui drove the car to the garage, parked it and walked to the elevator, but was reluctant to press the elevator."

"It was only a month after my father died, but But there was no pain on my mother’s face.”

“Jiahui and I have been married for ten years, and we are a model of happiness in the eyes of many people, but we still divorced.”

This type of beginning has a characteristic that goes against common sense, which arouses the reader's desire to explore and want to know the reason.

3. Go back to the past

This past must be inseparable from the protagonist of the story and have a huge impact.

The book "Death Realm" begins like this: "Sarah later remembered only two things about that night, his good luck on Wheel of Fortune, and the mask. However, as time goes by, she often only thinks of that mask, provided she forces herself to recall that terrifying night."

This immediately whets the reader's appetite and foreshadows a wonderful event. The story is about to begin.

4. Get straight to the point and directly address the relationships and conflicts between the protagonists

For example, at the beginning of an article in the public account Palm Fengyue,

"Lu Changsheng especially dislikes Fang Yong, why can't Yang Tao's eyes leave him? This Fang Yong has no other ability except reading. Moreover, his parents died when he was young, and he grew up eating hundreds of meals. Fang Yong studied. The money was all raised by the folks in the village, and the Lu family had a lot of money." At the beginning, the protagonist appeared, and their relationship and conflicts also surfaced.

5. The protagonist’s existing situation is broken.

For example: "Zhao Lei said before going out that my mother will come over tomorrow and her house will be demolished, so she will have to live with us for two years." Lin Xiaorui was confused all of a sudden. You know, she is not a mother-in-law. Easy to mess with. ”

Because the status quo is broken and the protagonist’s life has to change, then the story comes.

6. Write the ending at the beginning of the story

< p> For example: "The thing Xiaomei regrets most is being Pan Wen's girlfriend. Fortunately, she is single again today. "

"I finally got divorced and finally got rid of Xu Wei and his family. My sky suddenly cleared up. ”

Write the outcome first, then go back to the past and tell how the protagonist got to where he is today.

However, some beginnings will drag down the entire story, so remember, a good beginning These two points need to be avoided. 1. Excessive description of weather, scenery and irrelevant characters. 2. There is no threat and no sense of movement, so that readers cannot feel that something is going to happen.

There is a saying from Hitchcock. Quote: A good story is like life, just with the boring parts deleted.

In the era of information explosion, readers have less and less patience. If you can’t catch the new media story at the beginning. Readers' attention is very likely to be abandoned by readers, so let us quickly disrupt this spring water.
