In the second chapter of "The Sentimental Swordsman, the Ruthless Sword", a confidant in the sea writes a story about Li Xunhuan and A Fei having a drinking conversation. The story conveys several messages through the dialogue between the two:
Ah Fei wants to be famous, but he would rather die if he doesn¡¯t become famous. ".[] When Li Xunhuan asked him why he insisted on becoming famous, "the young man did not answer his question, but there was a sad and angry look in his eyes";
Li Xunhuan is very famous, but he feels that "being famous is not a good thing." This sentence sounds a bit pretentious, but it comes from Li Xunhuan, who cut his throat with a knife, and it is worth pondering. This kind of sigh belongs to those who have gone through many vicissitudes of life. People who have seen all the prosperity, enjoyed all the applause, and have received everything, it is relatively sincere to express this sentence by these people;
Li Xunhuan was greedy for drinking, and his level of alcoholism was almost as high as Qiao Feng's. His cough was even worse. This is why Liu Jingting used the pen name "Long Gongbei";
Li Xunhuan, like A Fei, is also a sad person, because A Fei asked him if he had a lot of sadness when he drank while sick, "Li Xun Huan's bright eyes dimmed."
The novel is serialized into two chapters. The two possible male protagonists, or rather the two male protagonists, have a sad story, and one of them is still sick!
No matter how fast their knives and swords are, or it is precisely because of their unique skills of sharp swords and swords, this kind of sad thing is particularly depressing.
"The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is just the opposite. There are also two protagonists, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Their status and abilities are completely different from Li Xunhuan and A Fei, but they live happily every day, at least they can have fun every day. He has a positive and optimistic attitude towards life. When he has nothing, he dares to call himself Yangzhou Shuanglong. Occasionally mocking himself as the "Two Snakes of Yangzhou" can make people laugh.
When Shuangyong first meets Fu Junma, a woman in white, Kou Zhong¡¯s rogue and funny nature is fully exposed, and the humorous tone of the novel is fully revealed.
""The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is very different from previous works in terms of language style and writing tone, and the settings of the two male protagonists are also unprecedented. "Sentimental Swordsman" was originally named "Little Li Fei Dao", Li Xunhuan The male protagonist's status is obvious, but when it was serialized in the magazine, it was changed to the current title.
The flying knife is Li Xunhuan, and the passionate swordsman is naturally Ah Fei. This shows that Ah Fei's status in this book cannot be underestimated. Belongs to another form of dual master.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the two books published by Gu Yongsheng this time are intentionally trying to set up dual protagonists, in other words. This may be why Gu Yongsheng is seeking a new outlet for martial arts novels.
But I believe everyone can see it. Different from the change in the overall style of "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", "The Passionate Swordsman" still inherits some of the styles of previous novels such as "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", such as concise and powerful dialogue descriptions, unconscious life Sadly, the traces are still quite obvious.
By comparison, "Datang" is almost a completely different look.
"One is reserved innovation, and the other is the development of a new field. Gu Yongsheng's intention for this double release is clear at a glance. Worthy of admiration. "
There is no typical comparison between "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Passionate Swordsman". In other parts of the world, few readers and commentators compare and discuss these two books together. This time Gu Yongsheng believes in hand-pushing the book. It was a coincidence that I read these two novels at the same time.
However, the author has no intention, and the readers have the intention. In the context of the "big discussion on the end of martial arts", Gu Yongsheng's every move and every word may be interpreted by everyone to have different meanings, let alone two martial arts novels?
Current martial arts forums include Huashan. Whenever "Datang" is mentioned, "Duoqing" must be related to "Duoqing". Any discussion of "Duoqing" must be related to "Datang". For a while, many people were worried about the future of martial arts.
"Perhaps, to Gu Yongsheng, these two novels are the same as all previous novels, just two new books on his plan? There is no new revolution, no exploration, just a new book plan?"
When everyone is quarreling, there will also be alternative voices. Many opinions on the Internet are formed based on other people's opinions. After a popular event occurs, the first reaction of some netizens is to first see what others think. explain.
¡¡
"Now the two novels are so quarrelsome just at the beginning. What kind of quarrel will there be when the complete novel is released in the future?"
After walking around Huashan, Chang Youdao sighed in the group.
When Liu Jingting saw this question, he was stunned for a moment. In fact, there is no need to compare the two novels. After finishing the novel, there are countless points in any one that can be discussed endlessly.
A Fei and Lin Xian'er's psychology textbook-like relationship, Li Xunhuan and Lin Shiyin's sadomasochism, the creativity of the weapon ranking list, Xu Ziling and Shi Feixuan, Huanwan, Shi Qingxuan's polyamorous love, Kou Zhong's ambition, the duel between Song Que and Ning Daoqi, Shi Zhixuan's strength, Ba Fenghan's hard work
There are too many stories and too many characters to analyze and comment on. When the time comes, PK and other things can simply be ignored.
"Everyone is concerned about which of these two books can represent the future direction of martial arts novels."
"This topic itself is meaningless, because the publication of each novel represents the formation of an independent work, and each work has its own destiny. It does not need to represent which trend. Could it be said that Zhang Wuji wrote "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword"? Will everyone start to imitate this book and write about Zhang Wuji?¡±
"I think someone wants to use this to urge me to make progress." Liu Jingting replied: "The end of martial arts novels has never been decided by one person or group of people. This kind of conceptual remarks has no meaning for the development of literature. It¡¯s purely a demonstrative provocation.¡±
"This is the most likely possibility. No matter what achievements you make, I will say that martial arts will come to an end anyway. Any literary style will go through these stages. This is simply a panacea."
"So, after finishing these two books, I decided to completely put away the keyboard for a while and completely ignore all comments. I needed to really let myself go for a while. I still cared more or less before."
Liu Jingting said this, which is equivalent to giving everyone a vaccination. In fact, there are many cases where novel authors do not publish works for a year or two, just because Liu Jingting usually behaves like a model worker, and suddenly disappears for a year and a half, everyone will definitely feel Discomfort.
The editors of "Jianglu" can understand. After all, they know that Liu Jingting is also working on the manuscript of "Harry Potter 3".
¡¡
When the October issue of "Jiang Lu" came out, the name "Plum Blossom Thief" finally reappeared in the world, and Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling had also met Princess Dongming.
In addition to the serialization of the two novels, the theme of "marriage" in October's "Jianglu" also triggered a discussion in the micro-blog circle, and many well-known celebrities participated in this discussion.
However, the topic of marriage did not last long this time. Soon, even the discussion of the two novels "Datang" and "Sentimental" was submerged.
Because in early November, the third volume in the Harry Potter series - "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" was officially completed and announced that it would be released simultaneously worldwide on November 16.
"Harry Potter" is the real book of the world, and its influence is different after all.
Of course, November 16 is also Yang Lilu¡¯s birthday. (To be continued)
