Chapter 462 Discussion
"The Relentless Swordsman" is available on October 15th. ".[]
In addition to readers, those who are waiting for this day to arrive are also participants who attended the "Gu Yongsheng Novels Symposium" at the end of October. They need to write speeches and evaluate the development history of Gu Yongsheng's novels, and naturally they need to follow Gu Yongsheng's latest works.
Since the critics and most readers have designated "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as the peak of martial arts novels, subsequent comments have basically regarded this novel as a watershed, and even appeared as a seemingly professional bluffing term like "martial arts in the post-The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"In the post-The Legend of the Condor Heroes, martial arts novels have come to an end in form and skills. The subsequent works can only work hard on curiosity, martial arts settings and text styles to seek breakthroughs. For example, the martial arts settings in "The Legend of the Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" have begun to add elements such as momentum, illusion, and even magic, and the language style is also lighter and playful.
As for "The Swordsman of the Passionate Sword" is a writing style of writing modern novels to write martial arts. The author's frequent comments and some life principles are told through the protagonist's mouth.
It is a good phenomenon to seek breakthroughs, but we should also see that whether it is the "Tang Dynasty"'s pursuit of innovation and change, or the "passionate swordsman"'s swordsman's approach, there is still no way to completely get rid of the shadows of previous novels such as the "Science of the Condor Heroes". The most obvious example is that the setting of the three great masters Ning Daoqi, Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin in "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty" is derived from the four masters in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and other aspects will not be mentioned one by one."
"A most obvious phenomenon in the martial arts era in the post-The Legend of the Condor Heroes is that the craftsmanship and commercial spirit of the novel are becoming more and more intense. The numerous martial arts moves are deliberately created, and the passionate plots are succumbed to the scene arrangements of film and television dramas. The kitsch setting of a man and a woman is indeed the novel is getting better and better, and readers read it quickly and are willing to pay for it. But we regret to find that a category of a novel is irreversible and has embarked on the path of subversion."
"In the post-The Legend of the Condor Heroes, martial arts writers, including Gu Yongsheng, have begun to focus on the film and television market with greater market potential and highest profit value."
"Post-The Legend of the Condor Heroes..."
In the Internet era, all popular words were eventually ruined like this!
Gu Yongsheng has had a long history of foul relationship with traditional literary critics. Whether he repeatedly hit back at critics with facts, or his fans stalking and sarcasm of those commentators, they have deepened the grudges between the two sides step by step.
Of course, what those commentators couldn't stand the most was that Gu Yongsheng often used the mouths of novel characters to make fun of them. For example, the fuse of the "censored craze" this time was because of Li Xunhuan's complaints.
Newcomers want to get to power. First, they must learn to be obedient, otherwise they will be called "a plum blossom thief who is harmful to the will of heaven."
For vested interests, this passage is indeed too sarcastic. It is heard in the ears and turns into the throat. But what makes them feel aggrieved is that they cannot and cannot let go of their bodies and directly refute and criticize this sentence, because once they do this, they will be suspected of being in the right position.
Therefore, they adopted the strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, which they were best at.
Despite this, this phenomenon was temporarily curbed after the completion of "The Swordsman of the Sentiment" was released because a large number of book reviews from real readers were coming.
"This is a masterpiece that describes the world's coldness, touches social reality, and explores the philosophy of life. Although the novel is filled with a lingering and lonely smell from beginning to end, the essence of the novel and the core conveyed to readers are positive.
Whether it is A Fei's spiritual redemption or Sun Xiaohong's persistent love for Li Xunhuan, they all shine with moving light. As for Li Xunhuan's great sentiment throughout the book, it is even more thought-provoking, repaying kindness with virtue and straightforward grievances.
The novel even reveals such a simple and simple truth through the mouth of the old man Tianji. The master is lonely because people only see his glory and do not pay attention to the price of his sacrifice. This sentence may be the author's own statement."
Readers who are a little older can basically experience the author's intentions from the book "The Swordsman of the Passionate Sword", and the feelings between the lines are almost revealing their thoughts face to face with the readers.
The Radish Head, which has recently become elusive, has also come back to the mountain and commented on this novel:
"Speaking of "Little Li Flying Knife" (I prefer this title) is a formal filling in previous works. Either I have never read this book, or I have read it but only grasped the fur.
I have to say that the artistic value shown in "Little Li's Flying Knife" is not inferior to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"!
In fact, we can regard it as a supplement to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and this type of work, which is a supplement to parallel and equality, rather than filling, because in all previous martial arts works, there has never been a character like Li Xunhuan!
No novel has ever written the blending of scenes to this point!
No author has ever been willing to use this method of writing poetry to write martial arts!
Tonight, we are all Li Xunhuan!”
Luo Butou's generous words about "The Swordsman of the Passionate Sword" were quickly refuted and attacked by other commentators, and also quickly gathered a large number of supporters.
On October 22, Chang Youdao, executive editor of Jianglu, forwarded and commented on Luobutou's micro blog:
"Give me a thumbs up to Mr. Radish Head, and just carry a private conversation from the original author: [Li Xunhuan's knife is originally a symbol, symbolizing the power of light and justice. His knife is neither a weapon nor a hidden weapon, but an exciting spiritual force!] over! I will continue to quit the Internet!"
After Chang Youdao's micro blog was posted, Su Jin, Wang Jianshan, Qingjiao and others forwarded it and commented: "Wow, let me catch it. I violate the orders of the boss and secretly surf the Internet!"
...
On October 26, the "Ku Yongsheng Martial Arts Novel Seminar" was held in Beijing. The famous literature professor Chen Shirang and the well-known writer Zhou Zaidao participated in the discussion. At the discussion, two opposing teams were formed around the two.
The supporters, mainly Professor Chen Shirang, and the oppositions, headed by Zhou Zaidao.
Professor Chen’s view is that “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” is indeed a peak in martial arts novels, but this does not mean that this category is at the end. Just like Li Bai and Du Fu represent two peaks in poetry, but there are still outstanding poets such as Li Shangyin and Du Mu who were born.
Moreover, Gu Yongsheng is now at the peak of his creation and can still be looked forward to in the future.
In addition, as a writer, Zhou Zaidao should not blindly slander the development of any literary category.
Chapter completed!
