In fact, Guo Dalu is really a little underestimated of the book "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", although Gu Long's book is slightly jumpy compared to Jin Yong's works, or frivolous, far less than Jin Yong's calm atmosphere, but if you talk about the rhythm of the text and the fascinating atmosphere rendering, as well as the setting and step-by-step traction of the suspense plot, Jin Yong's works are lacking.

In the works of the Jin family, suspense is also used in the book Condor Shooting, that is, the chapters where Ouyang Feng killed the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan and caused Guo and Huang to be incompatible, and the suspenseful writing method is almost never used in the rest of the works.

Jin Yong and Gulong are difficult to distinguish between high and low, but the tastes of readers are not the same, some people like Jin Yong more, some people like Gu Long more, but relatively speaking, they still like Jin Yong more.

It's not that Gulong is not as good as Jin Yong, but that Gulong's local works are a little worse in terms of popularization than Jin Yong's works, especially for young readers with less experience, it seems a little obscure, and the provocative sentences in it occasionally appear, which is inevitably frivolous.

If the gold works are compared to the famous and upright, then the ancient works should be regarded as the left side door, one is neutral and mellow, the other is mysterious and steep, the influence is not much different, but the style is very different.

For Guo Dalu, he likes the works of these two very much, but only limited to Gu Long's works in the middle and late stages, the early works are still imitating the category of popular martial arts, whether it is pen power or plot setting, his own style has not yet been fully laid, and there are traces of the style of other martial arts writers, and after the middle and late stages, Gu Long really established his own unique style.

A writer can only become a famous artist after establishing his own unique style, on the contrary, if he goes with the flow and is always just an imitation, then sooner or later he will disappear from everyone.

Gu Long's works that can be remembered are only those written in the middle and late periods, and among these works, the Chu Liuxiang series should be regarded as a more representative one.

Chu Liuxiang in this work is handsome and chic, wise and affectionate, he is a gentleman in the face of a lady, he is a hooligan in the face of a slut, he has peerless light skills, and has a bodhisattva-like compassionate heart. He never killed in his life, because he believed that no one had the right to take the life of others, but he was also a thief, and even if he robbed the rich and gave to the poor, it could not change his essence as a thief.

All of the above characteristics have made the character of Chu Liuxiang gradually three-dimensional, and a more distinctive and characteristic image has slowly formed in the hearts of readers.

But even so, there are still a lot of flaws in this one, the first part of "The Fragrance of the Sea of Blood" is quite wonderful, and the second part of "Thrush" is also okay, the content in "The Great Desert" is starting to be a little confusing logically, and the characters in it have a great contrast with the previous ones, but in general it's okay.

But by the time of the fourth part of "Batboy", the level began to decline, and by the time of the fifth part of "Midnight Orchid", it was already unknown.

There is a special feeling to watch Gu Long, his early works have naïve grammar, clumsy pen, like a child, in the middle and late stages, it seems that the child has grown up, has the ability to think independently, is trying to break free from the shackles, to achieve the independence of his own personality, in the later stage, the mind has matured, and the things written out began to be philosophical and intriguing, but in the final years, Gu Long's writing has been like a dream, not a story.

Just like "Midnight Orchid", it is no longer a complete story, but like an old man's feelings about some life perceptions and life fragments before the temporary period, it seems to be making a final farewell to his readers, and the whole work is gloomy.

If someone reads through Gu Long's works, they will find that the author's writing level has gone from naïve to mature, at a speed that is visible to the naked eye and can be clearly felt by the reader, and finally reaches its peak, and then begins to slowly fall again.

His works are like the trajectory of his entire life, from naivety to maturity, from maturity to weakness, to death.

This is a very noticeable process of change.

Jin Yong is not, Jin Yong seems to be a martial arts master as soon as he appears, the first "Book of Swords and Enmity", the protagonist Chen Jialuo's hundred flowers and wrong punches will beat the entire martial arts world at a loss, and then "Blue Blood Sword" caused a sensation again, until the publication of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which finally established his identity as a martial arts master.

There is not much difference between Jin Gu in terms of talent, and it is difficult to distinguish between Xuan Xuan in terms of pen power, but if it is about the background, Gu Long is a little worse, especially in the reading experience of the works, Gu Long's works are far inferior to Jin Yong.

It is for this reason that when Guo Dalu published "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", he spent some effort to sort out this book from beginning to end, such as some of the comparison of the combat power of Shi Guanyin and Jellyfish Yin Ji, which is very illogical in the original text, and the appearance of Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan is extremely abrupt, which was not described at all in the previous text, and it was not until it suddenly appeared in the work "The Great Desert", which is extremely unreasonable.

You must know that since the three of them have formed an iron triangle, known as "swallow butterflies are wings, and the fragrance of flowers is full of the world", then whenever Chu Liuxiang appears, no matter whether his friends or enemies should either deliberately or inadvertently bring these two people out between words, otherwise the appearance of these two people will always seem very abrupt.

Guo Dalu has absorbed all the culture of the world at this time, and with his current level of knowledge, it is not so difficult to revise this one, so after some brewing, the "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" published on the Internet at this time has some differences from the original version, which is more rigorous in structure and more fluent in wording, but retains the unique charm of Gu Long. In particular, the two works of "Legend of the New Moon" and "Midnight Orchid", Guo Dalu has almost re-created, which has completely departed from the original version and become a new story.

For Guo Dalu, good things should be shared in the world, if they are not good enough, then change it to be good enough, and then let it come out. He is now extremely literate, and it is not difficult to rearrange two stories according to Gu Long's writing style.

In another world, there are many people who imitate Gu Long's writing, and his apprentice Ding Qing often ghostwrites for him, and the writing is actually not bad, just like "Full Moon Scimitar", which is basically written by Ding Qing.

These people can simulate Gu Long's style of writing, Guo Dalu, as a guy who has absorbed the entire world culture, is naturally able to write a new story in Gu Long's style.

After the completion of these two works, it also marked the beginning of Guo Dalu's gradual change from "plagiarism" to independent creation.

But even if he is an independent creation, Guo Dalu's writing speed is extremely fast, not much slower than "plagiarizing" Condor Shooting, Condor and other works. His brain is surprisingly fast, once the context of the story is clear, he really relies on Ma Qianyan, and he can write a story in almost three days, and it is extremely charming, not worse than Chu Liuxiang's previous works, and even surpassed.

It was after these two works were written that Guo Dalu discovered that he had a talent for writing, and this talent was extremely amazing. After writing Chu Liuxiang's eight series of works, Guo Dalu began the idea of creating martial arts independently. But I haven't figured out what to write or what kind of story to write.

At this time, Chu Liuxiang was modified by Guo Dalu, and in terms of overall layout and grammar use, it was much better than the original version, and its appeal to readers was also stronger.

Wang Qinglong, the president of the Yellow River Literature and Art Publishing House, was not wrong, on the first day of the physical sale of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", more than 300,000 copies were sold, and the second day readers' enthusiasm for buying was still strong, and this sales boom did not decrease until a week later, when the popularity dropped slightly.

The staff of the Yellow River Literature and Art Publishing House were naturally extremely excited about this result, and the president Wang Qinglong was even more complacent, "What did I say? What did I say? Although Guo Dalu is powerful, his grasp of the current market is far inferior to ours! Now he has made a wrong prediction on the sales of this "Chu Liuxiang"! Hehe, it is said that Guo Ye rarely makes mistakes in speaking and doing things, but he is not as good as us in book sales. ”

Wang Qinglong looked at Jiang Dongliu, "Lao Jiang, call Guo Dalu, let's settle the fee for him first, we can't be sloppy about Guo Ye's royalties, this is our God of Wealth!"

Jiang Dongliu said: "President, I think it's better for us to settle the bill in a few days, and then let's go to Guo's house together, that's better." ”

Wang Qinglong nodded and said: "Yes, yes, it's time to meet him, people have earned so much money for us, but I, as the president, have never visited once, which is really not like words." ”

Jiang Dongliu said: "President, when we go, you'd better get more cash." ”

Wang Qinglong said curiously: "Why?"

Jiang Dongliu smiled: "Because this kid is getting married!"
