Chapter 251: Skippable!
In the same way, Master Jin is expressing an unreality as real, a job that is itself more difficult than that of Gu Daxia.
If Master Jin could do it more perfectly, it would be entirely possible for him to surpass Gu Daxia in one fell swoop, or more precisely, make it impossible for the latter to catch up.
It can be said that what Master Jin has done in martial arts is unparalleled, but there are still shortcomings.
Because he took such a measure. This gave Gu Daxia a chance.
Maybe this in itself is a kind of helplessness, maybe the work he did couldn't have been perfect.
But we, as commentators, can't ignore this for that reason.
As for what the measures are, there is no need to say more, as long as you have seen the works of Master Jin, I don't know if you have noticed the fact that the heroes and heroines in Master Jin will never grow up, and their speech, their behavior, and their mentality have always stayed at the level of sixteen years old.
After they went through countless tribulations, it is undeniable that in some aspects Master Jin has made them have some improvements, such as acting less recklessly, etc.
But in essence, their way of dealing with the world, their views on society, and their psychology have always maintained a "pure heart".
The heart of a child is undoubtedly lovely.
People like this mentality very much.
Therefore, all the women in Master Jin's pen are very likable and cute.
And you can't see such a character in Gu Daxia's pen, because Gu Long writes about women, while Master Jin writes about girls.
In this way, even if Master Jin writes the heroine ten times smarter, it will not pose any blow to the reader's macho thoughts, who would bother with a child?
Just as when a person praises a child for being smart, he only shows affection and no jealousy.
And what about readers who are also children? What do they think?
Their age and experience have not yet made their big man's mind swell.
And Master Kim makes his heroine completely and unreservedly, unequivocally and unduly, and resolutely fall in love with his male protagonist under any circumstances, one might even say ......
Then the masses of beings immersed in romantic love will naturally not be very good.
In this way, we have seen one of the most important forms of the so-called "incomplete inner world" that I mentioned earlier.
In a sense, it is still a little inappropriate to compare Master Jin's works to "fairy tales for adults", and it seems more accurate than fairy tales for minors, especially the book "The Legend of Deer and Ding".
However, some people actually compare Gu Daxia's book to the story of Sun Jingxiu's grandfather, which is a bit confusing!
I'm afraid these people haven't even figured out what a fairy tale is.
It would be a mistake to think of bizarre plots as the hallmarks of fairy tales.
Is there a bizarre plot in "The Little Match Girl"?
But this does not prevent it from becoming one of the most classic fairy tales;
As I said before, in terms of the underage of the characters' personalities, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is an exception.
Ling Hu Chong and Xiao Feng can be said to be the most mature protagonists in Master Jin's pen.
The reason for such a result lies in one of Master Jin's pursuits - to become new.
As for whether this is the pursuit of Master Jin, this is unknown, but at least objectively speaking, this is one of the means to attract readers.
The supporting characters in a work are never considered to be a sign of the author's characterization style and success, especially in long-form works.
The protagonist is the final word. But it is inconceivable that there are no supporting characters in a work, and a work that is poorly written with supporting characters is by no means a good work.
In a sense, the depiction of supporting characters exists for the depiction of the protagonist, and the quality of the protagonist's depiction depends largely on the quality of the depiction of the people around him.
The supporting characters in Master Kim have always existed to foil the protagonist.
In this regard, Master Jin fully demonstrates his profound literary skills.
It is difficult to cite a few examples in this regard, but one is necessary.
For example, Murong Fu in "Eight Steps of the Heavenly Dragon" is obviously setting off Duan Yu.
Master Kim's characters are rich and varied, which paves the way for the protagonist to be portrayed from different angles.
Although some characters exist for commercial rather than literary value, this should not be a reason to criticize Master Kim.
After all, there is a difference between martial arts literature and serious literature, and in this sense alone, this is a successful pen.
Overall, Master Kim's characterization is outstanding.
On the issue of the supporting characters, we should not discuss the integrity of their character and thoughts, because the supporting characters are different from the protagonists after all, and even in a long-form work, this incompleteness is inevitable.
However, it has to be explained here that I disagree with the view that the authenticity of the depictions of certain characters leads to the reality of Master Jin's works.
Not only does this view have no literary logic, but it is simply a denial of Master Jin as a master of idealism.
The martial arts works before Liang Yusheng were simple works and should not be classified into any one school.
Liang Yusheng is the founder of the martial arts of the Heroic School, and Master Jin is the most prominent figure of this school.
The character of his characters and the momentum of his works all reveal the characteristics of boldness.
Especially the description of the big scene, it can be said that no one in the world is invincible.
Just like some people say, Master Jin writes about gods, while Gu Daxia writes about people.
To put it simply, one is a chivalrous man, and the other is a chivalrous man!
In fact, when it comes to this issue, we can talk about it for a few days and nights.
Generally speaking, most of the people who analyze this issue are Gu Long's supporters, because in the eyes of most people, Gu Daxia is worse than Master Jin, and Gu Daxia's supporters feel unconvinced, so they have to analyze and discuss.
So, to discuss this issue, we must first clarify four things, even if these four things are not directly related to the comparison of Gujin.
The reason why we say ancient gold and not the universal gold ancient is for the sake of fairness, because according to the pinyin order and stroke order, "gu" is in front of "gold".
The first is that in the heyday of Gu Long, in the early seventies, Master Jin sealed the pen, and Gu Long served as the martial arts writer of "Ming Pao" after Jin Yong as the "successor".
It was 1972, and Master Jin's last work "The Legend of Deer and Ding" was about to end its serialization in "Ming Pao", so he wrote to Gu Daxia, hoping that he could write a martial arts serialization to "Ming Pao" so that there would be no gaps.
According to Gu Daxia's friend Yu Donglou to Chen Mo, a critic of martial arts works, he happened to be present when Gu Daxia received the letter.
At that time, Gu Daxia was in his prime, and there were many letters, but he couldn't read them carefully, so he casually asked Yu Donglou to open the letter to see which "guy" wrote to him from Hong Kong.
The result was Master Jin's letter of appointment, and after Gu Daxia read it, he couldn't believe it, and he didn't take a bath, "lying naked on the chair and not saying a word for a long time."
After that, Gu Daxia began to write the work "Lu Xiaofeng Series" for Ming Pao, which was very successful and exciting, especially the first three.
Even Gu Long's staunch supporters mostly admit that Gu Long had entered the most glorious period of creation before writing the "Lu Xiaofeng Series".
This actually means that, according to Gu Daxia's own point of view, Master Jin is a senior, and there is still some kind of gap between himself and his predecessors.
At the same time, Master Jin also expressed a great degree of recognition for Gu Daxia.
Gu Daxia is a professional martial arts writer, he makes a living by writing martial arts, and martial arts creation is just a side job for Master Jin.
The second thing is that the works of Master Jin that I see now have undergone very fine revisions and pondering, while most of Gu Long's works have been created in one go in a very short period of time and have never been revised.
The overall delicacy of Master Kim's works, the integrity of the characters, makes the reading of his works constitute a complete experience.
From the perspective of the work as a whole, Gu Daxia's works have great ups and downs in the level of creation, even in a work, different parts often have great differences, and there is relatively large room for modification in words, plots, and characters.
This also makes some wonderful works and parts of Gu Long's works affected, forming a kind of incomplete beauty, which cannot but affect the reader's reading interest.
For Gu Daxia's works, if a major revision is carried out, and this kind of revision will not harm the essence of the work, it will be able to make the work gain greater attention in the literary world.
After all, Gu Daxia's application of modern creative techniques is more than that of Master Jin.
However, such a revision can only be an assumption, in many ways, including creation, Gu Daxia is unique, and no one can find him to revise the work.
And then the third thing is that in the seventies, Gu Daxia's fame was not entirely influenced by his works themselves, but by the huge impetus of martial arts films, just as the fame of Master Jin is now largely driven by martial arts dramas.
This is actually due to the differences in their works.
Gu Daxia's works have a strong sense of modernity, outstanding personalities, a relatively compact storyline, a bright rhythm and suspense, and a short length and seriality, which are easy to adapt into movies.
Gu Daxia himself has also worked as a choreographer and director, and one of his masterpieces, "Xiao Shiyi Lang", even had a script first and then adapted, and his other works also have some references to the expression techniques of Western films.
Master Jin's works emphasize the cultural background, the characters have a relatively thick sense of inheritance, and the plot spans a long era, which is difficult to show characteristics in film works, but it is more suitable to be reproduced in the way of serials.
The fourth thing is that Gu Jin's works are very different in temperament.
It should be said that their works are all traditional in nature, which is fundamentally different from Huang Yi's works, but they are very different from each other.
Master Jin's creations are rooted in thousands of years of Chinese cultural traditions, and even the rebellion from Yang Guo to Ling Huchong to Wei Xiaobao is an internal struggle of traditional ideas.
In terms of temperament, Master Jin's works have the temperament of China's national flower, peony, which is consistent with the traditional aesthetic taste of the Chinese, and the reading of Master Jin's works hardly requires the Chinese to make any corrections to the concept of nearness to spontaneity, so it is suitable for all ages and has the widest readership.
Gu Daxia is the complete opposite, he really borrows from the West on the basis of tradition, and borrows the means of modern literature, but his works do not actually show the concept of Western culture in essence, and the almost absolute concept of male superiority and inferiority is a good proof.
Therefore, he is actually two-pleased.
Gu Daxia writes about the glorious side of human nature, but also reveals the ugly side of human nature, writes about the greatness of human nature, but also writes about the sorrow of human nature, in short, often through a rebellious conflict to form the tension and rhythm of the work.
Therefore, the beauty of Gu Daxia's pen is incomplete and ephemeral, which is somewhat similar to the Japanese cherry blossoms in temperament, and Gu Daxia's own creation is also influenced by Japanese writers such as Yoshikawa Eiji and Shibata Ryozaburo.
Correspondingly, the readers of Gu Daxia's works are distributed at a relatively narrow level, and they can often see that kind of rebellious temperament.
If the above four things are clarified, the reader will find that it is almost impossible to make a fair comparison of ancient gold.
A fair conclusion is that from the perspective of ordinary martial arts readers, in most aspects, Jin Yong has an advantage, but from the perspective of the creation itself, Gu Daxia may be of greater significance to later generations.
If you use the characters in the pen of Gu Daxia to make a comparison, then Master Jin is like Shen Lang, and Gu Daxia is Li Xunhuan; if you borrow the characters from Master Jin, Master Jin is Guo Jing, and Gu Daxia is Yang Guo.
Master Jin's chivalrous temperament is more admirable and reminiscent, and the tragic atmosphere of Gu Daxia gives people a greater shock.
So, this is the difference and similarity between the two.
The styles are very different, but who would dare to say that there are no similarities?
For example, it's all martial arts......
cough ̄ ̄) σ

…… ☜
In fact, speaking of which, the human nature in the book of Xia Ke Xing should not be much different from that described in the book of Gu Daxia?
If you want to talk about the difference, it should be that the human side is written very implicitly in the chivalrous line, while the ancient heroes are very explicit in the book.
Let you know all the time that human nature is evil.
Of course, there is another reason for writing this book, it is not long, it is different from the long story of the Condor Divine Condor, only about a few hundred thousand words.
That's enough for him to write.
Anyway, it's just to deal with things, and explore the way by the way.
