Chapter 358 Wonder of China
In fact, in the strict sense, it cannot be called a sniper.
After all, it is still very different from last year's "Yu Zhongtang", "Fangzhu Four Heroes", "Ling Feng Shangren", and "Best-selling Queen You Zihan" fighting on the monthly best-selling list, and it is still very different, "The Condor Heroes" relies on Jin Liang's prestige and massive readership, and the first sales volume is naturally unshakable.
But because it is "The Condor Heroes", and because its author is Da Jinliang, everyone's expectations for it are naturally extremely high.
However, the imaginary scene of "a book is out, and all are cannon fodder" did not appear, and there are two martial arts books that not only rank second or third, but bite "The Condor Heroes" on the major best-selling lists, and the reputation is actually good!
In the case of the physical release of "Condor" and the serialization of "Yitian" on the right track, it can still attract the attention of a large number of critics and martial arts fans, earning considerable attention and applause...... The warriors who can do this are much more valuable than the so-called "Four Nations Killing" last year, because this is with the participation of Da Jinliang!
At that time, in the minds of many people, if the bestseller list in which Jin Liang participated was compared to the battlefield, then the previous Four Nations killing was simply "rookies pecking each other"!
So, I dropped obediently, and all of a sudden, the entire martial arts circle, the critics and even the publishing world became high!
In addition to being excited, I quickly turned back to see who these two macho brothers were, and when I looked at the No. 1 player, I wiped, no wonder, it turned out to be him?!
Master Ling Feng, a high math teacher at Mizuki University, after experiencing the accumulation of best-selling martial arts such as "Buddha's Heart and Ghost Hand", "Crazy Qin Tribulation", and "Demon Wanderer". finally launched his first million-word long "Jin Ge Iron Horse Record".
In this book, it is obvious that his comprehensive skills have been completed. not only gave full play to the evil demon and dark martial arts style that he was good at, but also restrained the ghost spirit that seemed to be uncontrollable between the lines before. It greatly expands the reader's adaptation to the group at the same time. The pattern of the whole book has also been improved a lot, from the previous evil for the sake of evil, dark for the sake of darkness, to the fringe of society, that is, the so-called "non-mainstream cult people" against the unfortunate fate and the wheel of the times......
At this stage, his personal style characteristics are quite obvious and attractive, and to be honest, this kind of creative style has never been seen even by Deng Zheng.
At the very beginning. In fact, Deng Zheng's perception of Ling Feng is a bit like Chen Qingyun, the "first person in the ghost school of martial arts" in his previous life, but now it seems that the difference is quite obvious.
In this way, it is reasonable for "Jin Ge Iron Horse Record" to be positive with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", one book is indeed of high quality and has a great breakthrough, and the other is that "Ling Feng Shangren" is also a figure who has been on the top 100 writers for two consecutive years, and his influence is not bad. And he is still the first to publish this book. Full of freshness, after all, "Condor" has been serialized in magazines for a year, and there are pros and cons. It's also good to be able to resist primary antibodies.
But another book is a typical fighter in a dark horse!
Wait, what the hell is the "Wonder of God series"?
What the hell is "Sword Qi Yangtze River"?
Oh Nima. Where did this author "Gu Wen" come from? ! There is such an inconspicuous pen name in the world?!
However, no matter how the industry scratches its head and is puzzled, how it is red and thick-necked. There is an irrefutable fact: before the release of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Jin Ge Iron Horse Record", it had been silently lurking in the bookstore for more than half a month. "Sword Qi Yangtze River", which slowly became popular because of the recommendation of two martial arts veterans and famous doctors, is a terrifying existence that overwhelms many bestsellers and ranks third after "Jin Ge Iron Horse Record"!
Yes, this "Gu Wen" is none other than Deng Zheng's newly opened vest.
The reason for making this choice is both helpless and inevitable.
It is inevitable that since you want to write martial arts, it is indispensable to write the masterpieces of Gu Long and Wen Rui'an; but the difference is too great in all aspects, just like the sun and the moon, the works of these two really cannot be attributed to and cannot be unified under the name of "Jin Liang", otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, not only no one will believe it, but there will even be a big mess. At least at this stage.
And now the development trend of the entire martial arts has already reached the time to come out one after another.
So Deng Zheng made this decision, opened another vest, and used the pen name "Gu Wen" to show another style of martial arts painting to the world.
And the reason why we chose "Wonder Heroes" as the first work under the name of "Gu Wen" is to start with Wen Ruian Wen Giant.
Short sentences, branches, fast pace, beautiful and accurate writing, pay attention to the description of mentality, and create a technical atmosphere...... If I don't show you the name of the work and the protagonist, just by the style and style, the first thing that almost everyone thinks of will be Gu Long. But in fact, in many of Wen Juxia's early works, a large number of such writing methods similar to the style of Gulong were used.
Therefore, there has always been a saying in the martial arts review circle: "Those who want to learn about Wen must read Gulong".
He also said that "the basic textbook of Wen school culture - "Meteor, Butterfly, Sword", all Wen Ruian's classic novels must be based on this book, without exception, and said that "Against the Cold", "Shenzhou Wonder Hero", "Speaking of Heroes, Who is the Hero" have obvious characteristics.
Let's not say whether it is a cologne fan who holds this absolute view, but objectively speaking, Wen Ruian's early imitation of ancient dragons is indeed particularly obvious. For this, the giant hero himself is not shy about it.
It is not difficult to understand that Gu Long has created a new style of writing, and there will always be people who will imitate it, especially when he first debuted, which is the law of literary history.
But in fact, after careful study, there is still a lot of difference between Wen Juxia's novel and Gu Long Daxia.
On the one hand, he can't compare to Gu Long's sharpness and Xiuyi, nor can he compare to Gu Long's wit and atmosphere, and the dialogue in the novel is not as vivid and humorous as Gu Long's novels, which are full of fun;
On the other hand, while Wen Juxia likes Gu Long, he also likes Jin Yong, and obviously has studied Jin Yong seriously, and has also written three monographs on Jin Yong's novel appreciation and commentary, and his absorption of Jin Yong's works is also considerable;
Furthermore. The biggest feature of Wen Juxia's novels is that although they have a historical background. But there is also a projection of reality, and even a realistic and freehand portrayal of real life. Like the big knot of the "Wonder Man" series. and the personalities and interpersonal relationships of the righteous people, which have a more direct and profound relationship with the "Shenzhou Society" and its "Great Alliance" that Wen Ruian himself engaged in when he was young. Even the heroine in the book, Tang Fangzhi, seems to be the "Fang" name of Wen Ruian's girlfriend Fang E at that time. Most of Wen Rui'an's descriptions and feelings about the way of friends in his works have their realistic background and basis......
Wen Juxia has many masterpieces. There are the "Four Famous Catches" series and the "Shenzhou Wonder Heroes" series, which have won the status of the rivers and lakes, and the "Speaking Heroes, Who Are the Heroes" series, which is known as "really starting to have its own unique style and extreme coldness......
However, his mid-to-late works are obviously a little crazy on the road of innovation, such as the famous "Say Heroes, Who Are Heroes" series, which is mixed with too many ideas, especially the author's personal excessive discussions.
After all, in the case of fiction. The story always comes first, and all the subtleties can only be shown through the story, rather than the author jumping out directly to tell the reader. Deliberately ignore the flow of the story, long and long arguments. All kinds of philosophies will only make people annoying.
is a "Shenzhou Wonder Series", although it is the earliest work of the giant. There is no sense of coldness in the mature period, and the style of writing is also seriously imitating Gu Long. But both the characters and the plot and the structure are in place. The youth, ambition, friendship, perseverance, patriotism, and even betrayal, murder, blood, and speed that are preached everywhere are all in the blood and heart, and they want to look up to the sky and roar, floating in the sky, which can be called Wen's best set of books! It is also a very unique existence in the entire history of martial arts novels!
Even Wen Juxia himself later admitted: "Although the eight main stories of Shenzhou Wonder Heroes are works when they are young, although they have more experience and richer writing when they get older, they are a 'book from heaven' that they can't surpass." ”
The creation period of "Wonder of China" was 1977-1980, when he was in his twenties, he was the rising sun, full of ambition, always full of ideals, and not afraid of setbacks...... That's why I can write the hero Xiao Qiushui who "can't turn back, the more frustrated he gets, the more he struggles".
There are eight main stories in this series: "Sword Qi Yangtze River", "Liangguang Heroes", "Picturesque Rivers and Mountains", "Heroes", "Wandering the Rivers and Lakes", "Shenzhou Invincible", "Lonely Master", "There is Snow in the World".
In addition, there are several prequels, posterior prequels, biography, and eunuch biography......
"Fiction is subtle, poetry is true. ”
This is not only a self-taught man, but also a literary tradition that has existed for thousands of years, and our nation has never been good at venting its feelings at a glance. And suppressing feelings helps to generate artistic conception.
Therefore, even if the four famous novels are like a cow, there are scattered regrets. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is to set an example for a battlefield, "Journey to the West" is to descend a monster and subdue a demon, "Water Margin" lacks characters throughout and only sees one appearance after another, "Dream of Red Mansions" is better, and it is inevitable that there will be a banquet and a poetry meeting. Their strengths seem to be in fragments, in that unique connotation. None of them are free from the role or trouble of deep cultural psychology. So we can see the grand structure and diverse plots, but it can't reach the catharsis of feelings.
But after reading the eight parts of the main biography of "Wonder Men of China" in one breath, it is TM four words: happy enmity! happy enmity!
None of the characters in the book are squirming, dodging, or struggling under moral pressure. They are a group of pure Jianghu people, and what they do is exciting, sincere, and happy.
Deng Zheng still clearly remembers that at the end of "There is Snow in the World", when Li Shenzhou, the "king of the world", carried Zhao Shirong's body in his arms and died lonely in the snowstorm, the irrepressible grief was almost breathless......
In his many years of reading martial arts, there are only two martial arts novels that he can't stop picking up, one is "The Legend of Shenzhou" and the other is "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".
And the whole process is full of blood and excitement, and in the end, there is only one that is sad and inexplicable, and there is only one that brings tears to the eyes, that is, the eight main stories of "Wonder Heroes of China"! (To be continued......
