The news that Liu Jingting advanced to the top 16 with the first attitude did not last long, after all, there are too many luck elements in the proposition composition, and everyone discussed it to the end, no matter what kind of mentality, there will always be a casual mention "Maybe he just happens to be good at this subject, and it doesn't explain anything." ”

Even so, after reading Liu Jingting's entry article, everyone still convinced him to recognize his first position, in fact, after the full text of "The Gift of the Magi" was published, it caused a lot of discussion, especially in the gathering place of literary and artistic youth - Bean Sprouts Reading Forum, many well-known IDs participated in the discussion and comment.

"Love, after all, can be proved by substance, because people's hearts are unpredictable, maybe those who keep talking about how to cherish someone will suddenly split their legs one day. We always say that seeing is believing, the other party's giving and giving does not have to be a famous brand or a limited edition, the most important thing is the mind, just like the hero and heroine in the story, they are poor, but they are willing to give each other their all, this is the most touching part of this article, because all human feelings can be condensed into two words, give and get. ”

"When I read this article, I was sitting on the subway home, my eyes were sour after reading it, and suddenly tears flowed down when I leaned on the carriage, I also had black hair, and I have been raising it for many years, but I don't know when I will meet a boy who makes me willing to sell my hair, the author wrote a very beautiful love, ordinary, warm, and touching. ”

"The genius ending, the classic finishing touch, I hope we can all polish our eyes and see clearly, there is only one core of this novel, the purest love is the most moving. ”

……

"So far I have thoroughly admired him, the kind of admiration that he is a genius writer, I have never seen any author compare with him before. Including Han Shuo, Xue Muliang, Yi Shui'an, Miao Lian and others, his future is immeasurable. ”

Lu Yichou chatted with Wei Wuzhi on WC about Liu Jingting's novel in the competition, and was very emotional.

"After "Sea of Clouds" and "Chu Liuxiang" are over, encourage him to write a modern novel, otherwise it would be a pity. ”

"Old Wei, you are still prejudiced against martial arts in your heart. ”

"It's not prejudice, it's just that if he wants to be accepted by the mainstream, it's only difficult to rely on martial arts, unless he can really write a martial arts novel that has caused a sensation in the Chinese world. ”

"Don't you think so?"

"Yes, but it's difficult. ”

"We'll have to wait and see. Anyway, I always feel that he hasn't really started yet, and he won't surprise the world so much. ”

"Let's not talk about that, "Chu Liuxiang" is about to be released. ”

"Haha, yes, it's going to be sent. ”

"Coincidentally. ”

"Unintentional words are the most reasonable. There is still half a month before the book is released, and the reservation of "Chu Liuxiang" will exceed 500,000. It's hard not to think about it. ”

……

Just when the bean sprouts were still eagerly commenting on the young couple in the foreign country. The first part of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" "Fragrance in the Sea of Blood" was quietly listed, and it was said that it was "quietly" because Qianhong did not do any other publicity except for announcing a book release time, because for this book, any publicity is superfluous.

"Let's take out a pen and paper and write it down. How many records will this book break? Lu Yichou said jokingly in the work group.

What happened next made everyone suddenly understand that Mr. Lu was not joking.

On the day of its release, a total of 1.5 million copies were sold out in simplified and traditional Chinese for the first time.

Within a week of its release, the book sold 4.6 million copies. Lock in the annual sales champion of fictional books in advance;

Half a month after the book was released, the sales exceeded 7 million!

At the beginning, when Gu Yongsheng played the story of Chu Liuxiang in the studio of Xingyue TV, Lao Li, a retired cadre of the former Ministry of Culture, said a sentence: "A carnival era belonging to martial arts has begun." ”

If Lao Li also went online, he would be proud to find that his assertion was now valid:

On the same day, five hot topics about Gu Yongsheng's new book appeared on the microblog, a scale comparable to two A-list celebrities falling in love or splitting legs.

#古庸生新书 "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was listed#

#盗帅踏月留香#

#晒一晒, what kind of handsome are you#

#妙僧无花#

#结尾挖大坑#

The first three are easy to understand, and as for the reason why Miao Monk Wuhua has become a hot topic, it is also self-evident, because, he, is, final, extreme, big, BOSS!

It can be said that in the Chu Liuxiang series, the other bosses are basically intuitive foils to Chu Liuxiang's characters, only Miao Monk Wuhua is a little different, and his edge in this section can almost compete with Xiang Shuai.

The dialogue between Chu Liuxiang and several confidants is a preemptive trick in narratology, and it is also a common technique to lead the protagonist;

[His whole body looks spotless, and it seems that the clouds are falling from the nine heavens......] This is the appearance of no flowers, which can be described as shocking and incomprehensible.

In short, the description of Wuhua in the early stage of the novel is basically the protagonist's penmanship, and even when he loses to Chu Liuxiang, the real protagonist of the book, in the end, he is so calm and personable that even Chu Liuxiang can't help but praise: "Although you have lost, but in any case, you have indeed lost with great grace." ”

In the end, Wuhua chose to apologize for his crimes, that is, ordinary people could not be allowed to touch a finger of him under any circumstances.

He is a gentle and elegant man who can express his despicability and shamelessness, he is an all-rounder who is proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and he is also a good cook.

Regarding the topic of digging a big pit at the end, it naturally refers to the suspense left at the end of "The Fragrance of the Sea of Blood": [He has not returned to the ship, - a change that he has never encountered in his life is already waiting for him, and he never dreamed that something would happen to him. 】

Something that the almost omnipotent thief Chu Liuxiang would never have dreamed of, what could it be?

In addition to the topics on the microblog, the discussions on the forum were more specific and varied, with the interpreters beginning to dig out the philosophical Zen machines contained in the novels, the storytellers beginning to sort out the logic before and after the story, and the analytical schools beginning to analyze the psychology of the characters......

The so-called "wisdom beyond earthly enmity", the so-called "fateful entanglement of spiritual conflict", the so-called "magic technique to turn decay", and of course, the stunning windward slash on the flowerless stone beam have become one of the most classic pictures in martial arts novels.

Chu Liuxiang's popularity is a scene foreseen by both enemies and friends, and some book companies deliberately avoid promoting new books during this time, which means that Gu Yongsheng's identity as a best-selling newcomer has finally been completely recognized by his peers.

After Liu Jingting launched "The Fragrance of the Sea of Blood", he immediately received an invitation letter from Vientiane Jianghai: July 2nd, Vientiane Jianghai, the top 16 on-site qualifiers! (To be continued......)
