Chapter 213: It's hard to hope for
"Xiao Li Flying Knife" was like a volcanic eruption, selling one million copies in three weeks, bringing Zhang Tan's martial arts novels to a new height.
Joint Publishing boldly predicted that it would sell more than 2 million copies, and the printing plant began printing in three shifts.
There is no need to say more about the praise of the world.
For Zhang Tan's innovation this time, even those who think that "Xiao Li Flying Knife" is inferior to "Shooting the Condor" and "Condor" have to admit that the innovation in the book is revolutionary and greatly enriches the form of martial arts.
has a great talent at the end of the world, after reading the first volume of "Xiao Li Flying Knife", he summed up Zhang Tan's martial arts, where has changed.
"Shooting the Condor" and "Condor" talk about "benevolence" with the great man of chivalry, and embody "I must" everywhere.
"Xiao Li Flying Knife" has changed the hero's greatness, he has gone to his heart, does what he wants, and embodies "I am willing" everywhere.
The former is like watching Harry. Potter tells a story from scratch and teaches the reader a world.
The latter is like watching "007", with no beginning or end, but it is handsome, and at the same time tells readers what life is.
The former is like a gongbi painting, realistic, and has written eight big characters "The great man of chivalry, for the country and the people".
The latter is like a stick figure, freehand, written in seven words "do something, don't do something".
This seems to be two opposing thoughts, the three views are completely different, but they were created by Zhang Tan alone. It is this completely different three views that has caused the most intuitive impact on readers and researchers, and it can indeed be seen that Zhang Tan's efforts in seeking innovation and change.
Ye Hongsheng, a famous martial arts critic in Taiwan, commented on "Xiao Li Flying Knife" without hesitation: "Looking at "Xiao Li Flying Knife", you know that today's martial arts are only one stone. Tan Zhang monopolizes nine buckets, and the world is divided into one bucket. ”
Ancient units of measurement. One stone is equal to ten buckets.
This means that the author of a martial arts novel nowadays. There is a total of one stone in the sum of talents, but in this stone, Zhang Tan accounts for nine buckets, and the other authors add up to share the remaining buckets.
Quoting the allusion of "talented eight buckets", the Southern Dynasty poet Xie Lingyun praised Cao Zhi of the Three Kingdoms, saying that there is a total of one stone of talent in the world, and Cao Zhi took up eight buckets. Now in Ye Hongsheng's mouth, Zhang Tan is even more awesome than Cao Zhi, because Zhang Tan accounts for Jiudou's talent. Only high nine buckets.
This statement will naturally cause dissatisfaction among other martial arts authors, and the still active Hong Kong and Taiwan masters Li Tiejian and Zhang Feifei must be unhappy in their hearts.
Both of them are long-famous martial arts masters, and they dare not say that they are pioneers, at least they have inherited the influence of the golden age of martial arts and led them for more than ten years.
Now that Ye Hongsheng said this, it seems that they are not worthy of lifting shoes for Zhang Tan.
Can you have a good time?
But what can you do if you are not happy, starting from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Zhang Tan's influence in the martial arts novel industry. has surpassed these two. Whether it is confident or unconvinced, the results are clearly in front of them, a "Legend of the Condor Heroes". Swept half of Asia.
Where there are known as Chinese, there is "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
The media, readers, and critics have praised the novel infinitely. The universal view of Zhang Tan's novels. It is a cut above other martial arts. In terms of popularity, it does. Zhang Tan's novel has become the best-selling martial arts novel over the years.
Since ancient times, literati have been contemptuous, and if they are similar opponents, what they haven't said is to belittle wildly. But Zhang Tan's influence is too much higher than them, and it must be himself who belittles the other party in the end. The best way is to leave it alone and not to express any opinion on Zhang Tan.
However, this time, after Zhang Tan wrote "Xiao Li Flying Knife", there was more discussion about the innovation and development of martial arts, and inevitably, countless media burned the topic to these two.
There is no way to avoid it, but to express your own opinion.
Zhang Feifei told reporters: "Tan Zhang's martial arts, pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, has injected a new atmosphere into the martial arts as a whole, which is gratifying, now we don't have to worry, there is no successor to the martial arts." ”
Li Tiejian said: "The characteristics of "Little Li Flying Knife" are very good, and I look forward to Tan Zhang being able to write the following story well, which will become a novel with wide circulation." ”
Comparing the two martial arts masters, the comments are painless and secretive.
The new generation of martial arts writers in the mainland is much more direct.
The beautiful writer Cangyue has switched from martial arts to fantasy, a reporter interviewed her, speaking of Zhang Tan, she said: "Tan Zhang is my writing enlightenment mentor, because of the Tan Zhang Cup Martial Arts Competition, I was pulled on the road of writing." Recently, I held the first volume of "Xiao Li Flying Knife" in my hand, and read it back and forth, only to feel like a poem, like a song, like a dream, and like a drunk. ”
Another beautiful writer Bu Feiyan published her feelings after watching "Xiao Li Flying Knife" on her salary wave blog, and she was greatly admired: "I used to think that Tan Zhangshan wrote stories, told the family and the country, and realized his ideals and ambitions. Now I find that Tan Zhang writes about people's hearts, analyzes the world, and has insight into human nature. ”
Known as the second person in the mainland martial arts, the only linden under Tan Zhang, Xiao Linden, promoted his new book "By the Snow", answering reporters' questions about his evaluation of Tan Zhang, saying: "I am one of the earliest people in the mainland to write martial arts, and I am in the same issue as Tan Zhang, but in the past few years, following Zhang Tan, it has become more and more difficult to look back." ”
……
The outside world was in an uproar because of "Xiao Li Flying Knife", but Zhang Tan himself didn't feel much about it.
He has long been accustomed to these praises, and he is also self-aware, and a large part of the praise belongs to the martial arts masters of Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Wen Ruian in the previous life.
Understanding this, Zhang Tan did not get fluttered because of this after laughing at everyone's praise of him.
After a few months of tired writing, he wanted to relax his mind and make some films.
As a student of the directing department who aspires to be a director, other students are busy carrying cameras and shooting works everywhere to practice, but he rarely makes films.
There's a reason for that.
One is naturally that he doesn't have enough time to be micro. Bo is preparing, novels are being created, love is also enjoying, and occasionally he has to participate in film and television and song writing.
Another is that Zhang Tan feels that a director is not a profession where the more films you make, the more you can increase your talent. The director's experience increases the proficiency of the crew's coordination and command, and the improvement of the completion of the picture, rather than the talent of directing the work. Many directors' first works are likely to be at their peak, and the more they are filmed, the worse they will become.
Of course, Zhang Tan has no shortage of good works to create, and he has a lot of good films in his mind, waiting for him to dig them one by one. What he lacks is the ability to master the crew and complete the picture, but these abilities are not accumulated by making a small fuss on campus.
If he wants to shoot, don't be too shabby, and he can't take a DV and take a lamp to shoot.
Now "Xiao Li Flying Knife" has been well received, and everything is calm.
Just do some big things to play.
"What to shoot? It's obviously unrealistic to pull a big crew to make a movie now...... Or according to the previous idea, the whole point advertising blockbuster, to the micro. Let's do publicity. Small. Bo has burned millions of yuan, and is now in internal testing, and will be launched in public beta soon. ”
"It's time for a wave of publicity." (To be continued.) )
