Readers who watch Gu Yongsheng's martial arts have long been clearly divided into two groups, like "Seven Swords", "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" and the like, like "Xiao Shiyi Lang", "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and the like, of course, there are some readers with a wider range of tastes who can accept both.

Generally speaking, if a reader likes the invincible and dashing protagonist of Chu Liuxiang, and likes the short and powerful style of Gu Long, then he may not be willing to accept the Gu Liang style of laying out and narrating.

"No one knows how he sent the knife, and the people who saw him send it are dead. ”

"My name is Ye Kai, Ye Ye of Ye is happy to open. ”

"If a person's heart is really dead and his love is extinguished, who else in this world can hurt him. ”

The like, which seems concise and clear, seems to be inscrutable, and for many readers, these words have an inexplicable magic that makes them want to stop.

As for "June of the 18th year of Qianlong" and "Cool autumn in September, the grass in the north is declining, and there is a group of people", these very specific descriptions of time and place characters are the favorites of other people.

This is an irreconcilable controversy, and this is also the fate that literary and artistic works must face.

Therefore, the attitude of martial arts readers in this world towards Gu Yongsheng is also very clear, as long as you decide to write martial arts, you can't be biased, you can write "Seven Swords" all the way to ancient martial arts, but at the same time you have to give another part of readers "Xiao Shiyi Lang" heroes invincible cool martial arts, otherwise it is partiality and unfairness.

When this kind of thing happens, you can't blame others, who asked him to write live when he wrote live, Shuangkai wrote "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang". Once habitual thinking is formed, it is basically difficult to eliminate.

Most readers often have this experience, after reading a special favorite book, their hearts are depressed, and they can't extricate themselves, so they will look for the same type of novel everywhere, which is why there will be questions such as "Is there a book like "XXX", "Ask for a book similar to "XXXX", etc.

Therefore, readers who have finished reading "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" have just come out of the sadomasochistic love between Jin Shiyi and Li Shengnan, and they will immediately urge Gu Yongsheng to write a similar novel, but it is best to have a happy ending. After all, this kind of novel started from "Seven Swords", and after "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", it has always been a tragedy, a tragedy, and many angry readers have continued to write in the forum, insisting on writing Zhuo Yihang and Lian Nishang as "Since then, I have lived in seclusion in the Tianshan Mountains and lived a happy life", "Jin Shiyi has joined hands with Li Shengnan to wander the world".

Against this background. Gu Yongsheng announced that he would serialize "Book of Swords and Enmity" on the microblog, and readers immediately guessed what kind of road it was just by looking at the title of the book. Under the joy. can't help but be worried, will it be a sad ending again?

Even many readers said that if this film ends in tragedy, they will refuse to watch Gu Yongsheng's martial arts in the future, or they will not watch this kind of martial arts in the future.

Of course, this is not the first time that this kind of obviously angry language has appeared, not that everyone has forgotten the pain after the scar is healed. Instead, he still has expectations for Gu Yongsheng's discipline.

In any case, Gu Yongsheng's decision has made it clear that he wants to take over "Sea of Clouds", according to the principle that a bowl of water should be flat, the Chu Liuxiang series has just ended. Some readers are asking: "Isn't it true that this time the ancient university is not double-opened?"

Gu Yongsheng had expected this kind of ending, so when he decided to push "Book Sword", he finalized "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" at the same time.

This is also something that can't be helped, when I wrote "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", I was a little forced to write "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", at that time, Xiangshuai had to appear, in that kind of environment where the world was almost the enemy, only the stunning and coquettish Chu Xiangshuai could break the situation.

Facts have proved that Gu Yongsheng's choice is correct, and the facts have also proved that after making this choice, this kind of choice will be greatly limited in the future, after all, Chu Liuxiang's series is Mr. Gu Long's peak stage of work, and it is also the most famous novel, and there are only a few novels that can be compared with it, such as "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" and "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", and in terms of character settings, the latter is undoubtedly more suitable, and some people in the world believe that Lu Xiaofeng can be as famous as Chu Liuxiang.

Mr. Gu Long also said in the preface to "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", "Lu Xiaofeng is a person. He is a person you will never forget. ”

Therefore, the "Gu Yongsheng Column" of "Craftsman Record" serialized "Book of Swords and Enmity" and "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", and the reason why the first printing of 1.8 million copies of the magazine sold out so quickly is not unrelated to the advertisement "Another work takes over "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".

At least he has a clear grasp of the reader's mentality, and the reason why Xue Muliang achieved such great success in the first place was because he positioned the readership more accurately. ”

Although it is edited by Gu Yongsheng, the table with 1.8 million copies sold in half a day is still a little against the sky, so when the news spreads, it is inevitable that no matter whether you are in the same industry or in other circles, you will have to talk about it.

There is still a difference, although Xue Muliang's success relies on his own fame and consciously walks out of a road of fan economy, but Xue Muliang has the Yellow River literature and art as a backer, and Dingshi Culture has been very active on the road of excavating newcomers, Shen You, Adam, Luo Yan, and Beihetang all have their own fixed fan groups, can Gu Yongsheng do this?

The best-selling of his current magazine can only rely on the serialization of his own works, or the commissions of other well-known authors, but this is obviously not a long-term plan for a magazine, and his creation will eventually dry up one day, what will he rely on to support the magazine at that time?"

Most people in the industry agree with this assertion, although they will not come forward to discuss it, but they do have this mentality to watch "Craftsman's Record".

"It is not easy to cultivate newcomers", this is an ironclad rule in the industry.

In addition, can Gu Yongsheng really write a work that can take over "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang"?

Even those reviewers who are full-time Hei Gu Yongsheng have to admit that "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" is the most influential martial arts in recent years.

……

A mid-range office building in Jianghai City.

A young man in a brown sweater, holding a bottle of champagne, stood in front of the elevator with a smile, and a beautiful female employee holding a stack of Wen Jiàn next to him kept looking sideways at him, and after the two entered the elevator, the young female employee finally asked, "Excuse me." Are you Gu Yongsheng?"

"Well, I'm ......"

"Ah, hello, I didn't expect to meet you here, my husband especially likes your books. ”

"Liu Jingting. Liu Jingting added that the full words are "I am Liu Jingting." ”

"Huh?"

"My name is Liu Jingting, many people call me Gu Yongsheng, what does he do?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person. ”

Liu Jingting got out of the elevator on the seventh floor, and the young woman was still muttering, "It seems." ”

Liu Jingting didn't mean to lie to her. It's just that if you let others know that the office of "Craftsman" is here, there will always be some trouble.

After getting out of the elevator, turn left, take more than a dozen steps and turn right, the second is Yingri Culture, Liu Jingting pushed the door in. I saw my colleagues sleeping on tatami mats staggeringly, and I saw Liu Jingting come in. They waved their hands weakly to say hello.

"The owner is back. ”

"The old gods have worked hard. ”

"Lao Liu is here. ”

Liu Jingting replied with a smile: "You guys are really hard. This is a celebration of champagne, everyone rest well, open champagne to celebrate, and please eat hot pot tonight!"

"Great!"

"The boss is mighty!"

Liu Jingting put the champagne on the table, sat down casually, and said, "The Craftsman's Record has a good start. Thanks to everyone for bothering. ”

Liang Silk continued: "The magazine has made such a good start, mainly because of the popularity of the two serials of the ancient gods, and the rest is everyone's curiosity." ”

Liang Si sat up as she spoke, looked at Liu Jingting and said seriously. Su Jin, George and Xu Sen also sat up, Chang Youdao still had a pillow on his pillow, gave Liu Jingting a thumbs up, and said, "Awesome!"

"I've never seen such popularity," Su Jin looked incredulous, "It's terrible, it feels like a dream, hey, have you ever seen such a speed of selling magazines?" Su Jin asked George.

"Unheard of, Xue Muliang's "Ding Novel" does not have this scale. ”

Liangsi looked hesitant, as if he had something to say, Liu Jingting accurately captured this detail and asked: "Editor-in-chief Liang......"

Liang Si understood, and said: "At present, the momentum of the magazine is very good, but from a long-term perspective, what we have to do is far from enough, and the most troublesome thing now is that the ancient gods have to be double-opened, oh, plus the one on the Internet, it is three-open, this is ......"

"Well, I understand that the idea of "Craftsman's Record" is not a personal magazine, I pay attention to it, as for my serialization, it can withstand it for the time being. ”

"For the time being," Liang Si said worriedly, "The main thing is that the ancient gods have cultivated two groups of readers, and they are also readers with completely different tastes, on the one hand, this is a good thing, but on the other hand, this will in turn limit us, that is, after the end of these two serials, what will we do in the future?"

Liu Jingting said: "In the future, try to write martial arts that everyone likes." ”

Such arrogant words were said so indifferently by Liu Jingting, the key is that no one in the room disagreed.

"Don't care so much about it first, celebrate the opening of the door first, open the champagne!"

……

Just when people in the industry are watching "Craftsman Record" with their own hearts, the discussion of online readers and netizens about the content of the magazine has already swept the major forums again.

There were three main points in this discussion:

First, "Book of Swords and Enmity", as the story deepens, there are more and more characters, and the characteristics of "a dull beginning, more and more exciting follow-up" are once again revealed, and everyone's analysis and discussion of the plot is also lively.

Second, the newcomer is in the air, originally this newcomer author could not immediately attract everyone's attention, but as soon as the magazine sold the first round, Liu Jingting recommended "Qingyu Pharmacist" on the micro blog: "Although Lin Tiange is a newcomer, his writing and layout have the bearing of an old author. ”

What kind of person is Gu Yongsheng, he will never play the role of a melon seller in order to sell magazines, how bad can the martial arts that can enter his eyes be?

For a while, the pavilion in the sky has also become a hot topic in the martial arts forum, and the author himself has been in a state of excitement since he saw Gu Yongsheng's microblog, or when he received the notice of the manuscript of "Craftsman's Record".

Third, the most intense, the most lively, the most participants, and the most frequent topic, of course, is "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", just this name, you can find no less than 100 spit posts, in fact, the novel itself has also complained through guò Huamanlou: "You must not think that he is a woman, although his name is Xiaofeng, but he is an out-and-out man." ”

At the same time, there is also the white-clothed sword god Simon Blowing Snow in the novel!

"He blew not snow, but blood on his sword. ”

There is also a blind beautiful man who loves life and is almost perfect - Hua Manlou!

"The Mo master is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world. ”

"The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" just put a wedge, and gave so many story-telling characters, which has already caused so much discussion, not to mention whether it can surpass "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", at least for now, it is no problem to take over.

……

At this point, the four-eyebrow "legend", the "phoenix among the people", is finally coming to the eyes of everyone in this world. (To be continued......)
