Chapter 147: At a Disadvantage
Yu North Africa's "Dragon and Phoenix" tells the story of a young chivalrous man who practices peerless martial arts, fights monsters and upgrades along the way, and finally becomes the supreme martial arts master. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info period mixed with the male protagonist and a few confidantes of a bloody love description, at the end of the story, the male protagonist will receive a few red faces **, together to live a happy life.
In Li Feiyang's previous life, this kind of story was already the setting of a stinky street, in addition to Jin Guliangwen's martial arts novels in his previous life, the martial arts novels he read for the first time were the same as "Dragon and Phoenix" written in North Africa, the male protagonist and the heroine were poisoned by aphrodisiacs, or hugged each other in the cave to keep warm, etc., etc., so that the male and female protagonists began to have an intimate relationship. Then the two became a loving husband and wife.
This kind of martial arts setting, in the middle of martial arts novels, is very marketable, the plot of this kind of novel is simple, it does not require the author to have good writing, and he can barely say what he wants to express. As long as the reader can understand it, there is a market for the setting of this kind of novel.
When Li Feiyang was a child in his previous life, when he first came into contact with martial arts novels, he couldn't tell the difference between good and bad martial arts novels at all.
At that time, he couldn't tell the pros and cons of martial arts novels at all, and even once went to rent books, one was Jin Yong's work, and the other was the work of an unknown writer.
And the martial arts novel written by an unknown person he selected is very similar to the "Dragon and Phoenix" with a male and multi-female structure written in North Africa today.
The reason why martial arts novels are rejected by orthodox literature is not unrelated to this kind of ** martial arts novels.
The content of this martial arts novel is too vulgar, the plot is also extremely blunt, the character in the book is just a person's name, there is no plump image at all, after reading a book, the characters in the book will be forgotten in a few days, the author of this kind of novel, his own literary and historical skills are not good, and then write the second martial arts, or copy the plot setting of the previous one over and over again. The characters are face-painted, the content of the works is routine, and the writing has not improved in the slightest, but it is still so "steady". This is also something criticized by traditional literary writers, not that they look at martial arts novels with colored eyes, but that this kind of martial arts novels are indeed a bit unelegant, and people with a little literary background will shake their heads and laugh after reading them.
But this kind of work, for the people at the bottom, is very popular with them.
People at the bottom of the society, there are very few literate people, that is, literacy, that is, the level of reading newspapers and letters, literary accomplishment, and literary and historical skills. These people do not have a high level of education and little spiritual entertainment, just like the young Li Feiyang in their previous life, they like this kind of vulgar martial arts story of one man and many women the most. This kind of polygamous plot setting can deeply satisfy their daily reverie. This makes them feel very involved, they didn't do things themselves, and the main character in the book did, and for them, it was also a kind of psychological satisfaction.
Just like children watching fairy tales, what they always like is the kind of happy ending stories, for fairy tales with tragic endings, no matter how wonderful they are written, most children will not like them too much. People always choose literature based on their own likes and dislikes, and this has little to do with age.
As for the writing? For them, writing? What's that?
In their cognition, as long as the plot is good and it looks cool, it is a good work!
Don't talk to them about any logic, what human nature, what reality, what writing, I just watch a martial arts story and relax my mood, you talk to me about these profound truths, what are you talking about?
This is also one of the reasons why martial arts novels can be popular.
In fact, Gu Long had just started writing martial arts novels, and he also borrowed from this routine of being a man and many women, but he always followed the routine, picking up cheats in the same way, meeting beauties, meeting masters, passing on stunts, and finally not dying, there will be blessings, and finally martial arts will be king. I wrote too much of these, and I guess he was annoyed by himself, and it didn't feel like a thing. So, he sought to innovate and change, and tried to write his own style. He is a talented person, with his own sharpness and pride, he finally walked out of his own way.
And his contemporaries of martial arts novels writers, still do not want to forge ahead and write according to the old routine, so it slowly declined, with the increasing level of public appreciation, these writers began to lose their former brilliance little by little, and finally disappeared from the public's sight.
In fact, it's not that these martial arts novel writers don't want to improve, it's that they themselves lack talent, their writing is pale and weak, and their works are not infectious.
They themselves have a thin foundation, poor imagination, and the talent for writing martial arts novels is not good, when martial arts is just emerging, the stage of poor spiritual life of the public, the novels written by these people can barely get into the eye, but when people's overall cultural level comes up, these works are not enough to read.
Sometimes writing novels really depends on talent, without talent, even if the literary and historical skills are very deep, poetry, calligraphy and painting are involved, and writing papers can also be written steadily, but when they write vulgar martial arts novels in their eyes, they may not be able to write any good works.
Based on the reason that the public generally likes polygamy, and beautiful women chase male martial arts novels, when Ma Qidong's New Youth Newspaper began to serialize Li Feiyang's "The History of Martial Arts", the sales volume was not much more than that of the Dajianghu Newspaper newspaper, and even in some cases, it was not as good as the other party.
Just like the Internet era in Li Feiyang's previous life, some world classics were not interested in watching at all, and they were too tired to watch, but the millions of words in online novels were popular and accepted by most of the masses, and these small white texts were much longer than those hundreds of thousands of words, or even tens of thousands of words. But readers just like Xiaobaiwen and hate those works of pure literature.
Because the general public has such a level of appreciation, what they want when they see Xiaobaiwen is the word "cool", which is something that pure literary works can't give.
At this time, Li Feiyang's "The History of Martial Arts" is far less comfortable than "Dragon and Phoenix" in North Africa.
A month after the newspapers and periodicals were serialized, the news of the two newspapers fighting in the ring had already spread in Hong Kong City, and many people in Hong Kong City began to buy newspapers from the two newspapers to watch the martial arts stories in them, comparing each other's advantages and inferiors. There are both supporters and opponents of both works, and the noise does not end. But overall, "The History of Martial Arts" is slightly better than "Dragon and Phoenix".
The cultural level of Hong Kong people is much higher than that of their contemporaries in the mainland, and they can still distinguish the quality of a work.
In their eyes, the writing of "The History of Wulin" is still higher than that of "The Dragon and the Phoenix", but in terms of circulation, the New Youth Daily is lower than that of Dajianghu Newspaper. This made Ma Qidong very faceless, and he was embarrassed by the cynicism of his old opponent Wang Zhennan with a gun and a stick in public several times. Although the final result has not yet been determined, just looking at the sales volume, the New Youth Daily is still at a disadvantage after all, which has greatly damaged Ma Qidong's self-confidence.
There was no way, Ma Qidong simply went to Tangcheng in the mainland under the pretext of taking care of the family business, and later felt that he had to need Li Feiyang's help to get out of this evil breath, so he came to the capital to find Li Feiyang for help.
At this time, the opera competition is coming to an end, and it is the time when the group competitions are the hardest.
