To put it simply, after all, the martial arts of Huaguo have indeed been popular in the past, and the fire has even spread throughout the surrounding countries.

That's why this incident came out.

How so?

After all, this is equivalent to a cultural invasion, and you can't stop it.

How to stop it?

If you think about it in the entertainment industry in your previous life, even if it is forbidden and forbidden, although it has some effect, it has not solved the root cause.

Unless your strength is strong enough and your capital is abundant!

In addition, how to say that Huaguo is now also a first-class country, and it is the origin of martial arts, and those people under the guise of martial arts culture boom are also thinking about making a profit here.

After all, after so many years of research, how can you just think about it?

There is no little benefit in it, no matter what kind of national hatred you have, there is no benefit at all, you want me to come out?

Of course, it was also because they saw that the current martial arts market in Huaguo was not very good, so they came in.

If you hadn't done some research, who would have been so clueless.

How to die to the point that I don't know.

And after knowing that the martial arts culture in China is now in recession, they know that the opportunity has come!

No, now there is the phenomenon of the Eight-Nation Alliance!

……

……

In fact, the craze for this martial arts culture is not very strong, as for the reason why Xu Youmeng came to be a lobbyist?

Naturally, it's above!

After all, now that martial arts culture has indeed declined, it is now relying on Li Xusheng to still shine.

This is really not blowing.

Of the seven weapon series he has written so far, he has sold about a few million sales, not to mention how much for the time being.

But definitely not less than three million.

And then there is the legend of Chu Liuxiang.

This book is surprisingly good and very popular with people, and if the sales of these two sides are combined, it will probably be in the tens of millions.

According to the pricing, it is not too expensive, and a book ranges from twenty to thirty.

Roughly calculated, it is only 300 million.

And this is just a few books, and even the number of words is only a million.

It's also drunk to think about!

Therefore, the last glory of this martial arts is lit up by Li Xusheng, it can indeed be said.

Because as of now, no one has reached his height.

Even if it was before, after all, what era was there before, and what era is now.

The current era is the real well-off!(1. Wealthy families, annual income: more than 2 million.)

2. Wealthy families, annual income: 80-2 million

3. Middle-class families, annual income: 50-800,000 yuan

4. Well-off families, annual income: 36-500,000 yuan

5. Poor families, annual income: 10-360,000 yuan

6. Poor families, annual income: 5-100,000 yuan

7. Difficult families, annual income: 3-50,000 yuan

8. Extremely poor families, annual income: less than 30,000 yuan.

The legendary well-off, when will it be my turn?T_T ̄ ̄) σ I feel farther and farther away from the well-off, there are trees and ...... ☞）

……

……

I have a lot of spare money, so I will naturally find entertainment and pastime!

So there are so many, it's not surprising.

It can only be said that the current martial arts are really in decline!

At this time, Li Xusheng was also writing the book Chivalrous Travel.

In Master Jin's series of works, this may only be divided into medium, but in Li Xusheng's personal opinion, the ideas in it are definitely not inferior to others.

So because of this, Li Xusheng regarded him as a work to test the waters.

In addition to dealing with the martial arts culture boom, I just want to see what everyone thinks of Master Jin's works?

After all, the style of writing is different.

Of course, there is no doubt that Master Jin and Gu Daxia are also one of the two masters in the martial arts world who are unprecedented and may be the last.

Although their styles are different, they are all heart-wrenching and difficult to put your hands on.

What is even more commendable is that we must not read their works only for entertainment, because their works have entered the realm of elegance. This is something that other martial arts writers can't match.

Although many people who claim to be literary defenders are reluctant to admit this to death, it is believed that it has been agreed upon by more true martial arts lovers.

Although they are equally excellent, but the two horses are running together, there must be a first, and there is inevitably the question of who is better of these two people.

To be honest, Li Xusheng has seen a lot of comparisons between the two before.

He doesn't understand the truth, but he knows that reading a book is like having a dream, and martial arts is even more so.

Master Jin and Gu Daxia gave us two different dreams.

In Master Jin's dream, we undoubtedly feel ups and downs, gorgeous and colorful, and we are addicted to it and do not want to wake up.

But we are always awake to the fact that this is a dream.

When I wake up, it's like having a good dream, or I have some good memories, but most of them are difficult to have too many impressions.

Gu Daxia's dream is a broken memory.

It may be beautiful, but it's never beautiful.

In this dream, we have so many midnight dreams that even after waking up, we can't help but wonder if it is a dream or a living reality!

The depth of this touch, even if it is not beautiful in Shaon, is not far away.

Then there's the more real problem: people prefer to have a good dream because reality has given us too much pain.

Dreams are the best place for us to escape from reality, and who likes reality to be like a rope that haunts us even in dreams?

For example, college students in ivory towers, who doesn't live in the beautiful dreams they weave?

This is not to disparage college students.

The reason why I say this is just to illustrate one thing: this yearning for a beautiful dream is the real reason why many people can easily accept Jin Yong but find it difficult to accept Gu Long.

As for the good or bad of this choice, we can't choose either.

After all, the yearning for a better life is one of the driving forces that has continuously promoted the development of mankind for thousands of years.

After all, after all the hardships of life, we have plenty of reasons to look for a paradise to relax our already tense nerves.

People's needs are always the real driving force for commodity production.

Everyone understands this truth, and Gu Daxia is no exception.

So he tried to change.

He put humorous language into his work, he put wine and gold into his work.

We see too much luxury and extravagance in his later works, too much pleasure and indulgence.

There is only one thing that we never see.

That's happiness.

No!

There is no joy!

Wine and love could not hide the melancholy and sadness that he was born with, which had long been planted deep in his heart.

This temperament is inevitably integrated into his work.

So much so that the result is this: the more joyful the description, the deeper the sorrow we read, the more it pierces our hearts.

The reason for this is probably that Gu Daxia does not have Master Jin's own conditions.

Master Jin has never worried about eating in reality.

He didn't have that pathos.

In his writing, even in the most tragic descriptions, what we feel the most is a kind of heroism, a kind of anger of the Yan Zhao warriors.

This kind of heroism is incomparable to Gu Daxia.

For example, Xiao Feng and so on.

Master Jin depicts pain only through a kind of cruel behavior.

Under this description, Yang Guo had to lose an arm, Xiaolongnu had to lose her virginity, and Xiao Feng could only stick an arrow into his chest.

In his pen, there will never be Li Xunhuan smiling and coughing up blood, nor will there be Fu Hongxue who is firmly dragging one leg, just as there will never be a character like Duan Yu in Gu Long's works.

There is even such a saying: Some people think that Gu Long's characters are all men drinking and women stripping, which is too obscene.

Truth be told, that's a very vulgar view. Demons are not born from the outside, but from the heart.

Maybe the person who said this had something wrong with his own heart.

At least I didn't see the slightest obscenity in the drinking and undressing.

What Li Xusheng sees is a kind of loneliness and pain that goes deep into the bone marrow.

He believes that most of his fellow readers with a good attitude also see it this way.

After all, they are wandering prodigal sons, on the one hand, they (they) have no way to suppress their character, on the other hand, they have the loneliness that no one cares about, and no one can talk about the loneliness of the bitterness in their hearts, the helpless loneliness.

They are by no means gentlemen, they walk alone in the vast sea of people, everything is natural and real.

Others have not experienced this kind of suffering, but Gu Daxia may have experienced it, and his true description makes me feel a kind of heartwarming resonance for those who are never sentimental.

On the contrary, in Master Jin's works, the depictions of Wei Xiaobao in the brothel and Xuzhu in the tunnels are not absolutely superfluous, but they also make people feel a little suspicious.

It is not known if Master Jin wants to add some romance.

Of course, it may also be that Master Jin wrote something else.

However, in any case, the depiction of this atmosphere will never appear in Gu Long's works.

Later, Gu Daxia also realized that such an extravagant description could not write happiness.

So he tried to completely transform.

Hence the book "Happy Heroes".

"Happy Heroes" is a completely new work.

In this book, Gu Daxia uses a new concept and way to interpret the meaning of happiness.

Completely put aside the enjoyment of life, and sublimation is the pursuit of spiritual satisfaction.

The lives of four young people are materially unmentionable, but their friendship, their mutual encouragement to life and death and togetherness have moved us to tears, and even the love description of Guo Dalu and Yu Yanqi is more affectionate than loving (perhaps this is the main reason why many people don't like this book). ）。

The portrayal of Wang Dong and the Red Lady is even more impressive.

Although we can faintly see the shadow of Alexandre Dumas's "The Three Musketeers" in the book, this does not prevent it from being a novel and unique work.

But that's not the book's most successful thing.

The major breakthrough made by Gu Daxia in this book allowed him to almost completely break free from the shackles imposed on martial arts by idealism for many years, and become a true realist writer.

This was not achieved even in his past works, despite his best efforts.

Even if it wasn't done perfectly, he at least noticed such a problem: the problem of money.

This is undoubtedly a living, unavoidable problem in real life.

In the book, Gu Daxia spent a lot of pen and ink to describe the troubles of lack of money and the hardships of earning money.

The personality of the protagonist Ren Xia is destined to make them unable to keep the money in their hands, and they are poor and white.

This is a contradiction.

However, Li Xusheng believes that only contradiction is the real theme of a good film.

This kind of experience is undoubtedly the experience of Gu Daxia himself, and only in this way can his portrayal be so expressive.

Although this description has also been briefly mentioned in his other works such as "The Sword of the Three Princes", it has never been deliberately described as an important content.

This kind of depiction is not only found in the works of second-rate writers, but also by Master Kim, who takes romanticism as his own responsibility

(In fact, there were some signs at the beginning of "Knight's Journey", but unfortunately it didn't go deep!)

However, it is precisely because of this description that the original intention of Gu Daxia's book was shattered.

The tragedy of humanity is that we can overcome all external enemies, but we can never defeat ourselves.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Gu Long's tragic end was caused shortly thereafter.

To be honest, if Gu Daxia had been in a few more years, not only would there have been a major breakthrough in martial arts works, but the martial arts industry today would not have declined so much, making the so-called avant-garde, postmodernism and even magical works rampant in the world, and the martial arts we see are still the martial arts of decades ago.

The ancient adage that the bystanders are clear and the authorities are obsessed is once again embodied here.

Gu Daxia has never seen the main reason for the pathos expressed in his works.

The reason for this is not what he thinks, but in two words.

"Authentic"

That's the real key!

The reason why Master Jin's works are so popular is because of his inauthenticity, and Gu Long's works give people a kind of oppressive enjoyment, because of his authenticity!

There are too many unsatisfactory and twists and turns in the life of Gu Daxia.

The shadow of social reality was too deeply imprinted in his heart, so that he could not get rid of the troubles of reality and enter his ideal kingdom.

Although he tries his best to represent the ideal world, his subconscious mind always brings him back to reality again and again.

On the one hand, he has extremely keen observation and thinking skills, and on the other hand, he has one of the most important conditions necessary for a good martial arts writer - unparalleled imagination, which is a contradiction.

This contradiction of his is destined to prevent him from becoming a writer of serious literature with complete realism on the one hand, and from the ideal master of entertainment literature on the other hand.

But it is precisely because of this contradiction that he has a territory completely of his own in the martial arts world, making him a master of "graceful martial arts" literature, at least so far.

His achievements are unprecedented, if not unparalleled.

His achievement is enough to make him a giant in the martial arts world and even in the literary world.

He subconsciously believes that a reflection of reality is essential in his work, which makes his work undoubtedly have a poignant beauty.

This beauty is enough to shock us, but we can't bear to accept it.
