Chapter 137: Shocking Release
"Southern Weekly" gave Zhang Tan an exclusive interview, which occupied a lot of space.
"The Condor Heroes Retire, the Condor Heroes Are Born - An Interview with Tan Zhang, a Genius Writer of Martial Arts Novels."
"In the early twenties of the last century, the emergence of 'South to North Zhao' stripped martial arts from the old chivalrous legend and laid the foundation for the current martial arts novels. In the fifties and sixties, a large number of famous artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan emerged, bringing forth new things in content, which further enriched the martial arts culture. ”
With the advent of the new century, the older generation of Hong Kong and Taiwan masters has passed away, and only a few successors are left, such as Zhang Feifei and Li Tiejian, and the overall decline of martial arts has been revealed. At this time, a group of outstanding martial arts writers emerged in the mainland and began to take over the banner of martial arts. ”
"Among this group of martial arts novelists, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly Tan Zhang, an 86-year-old juvenile writer known as the 'new grandmaster of martial arts in the mainland'. Southern Weekly once interviewed Tan Zhang, an out-and-out 16-year-old boy born in an ordinary family of workers and peasants, who shook the whole of China and even the whole of Southeast Asia with his own pen. ”
"In the past two years, Tan Zhang has written four novels, the 160,000-word "The Four Famous Catchers of Kanto", the 440,000-word "The Four Famous Catchers of the Jingshi", the 1.2 million word "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the upcoming 1 million words "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", a total of 2.7 million words."
"The emergence of the Four Famous Capture series has made Tan Zhang stand out in the martial arts novel industry, and readers have high hopes for him, believing that he can create a new situation in mainland martial arts. And Tan Zhang did not disappoint readers, last year's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" came out, completely confirming his title as the new master of martial arts. ”
"Li Qiru, a professor at Renmin University, once gave Tan Zhang this evaluation: 'Tan Zhang's martial arts. Just like Han Yuzhi in Tang literature, the decline of the eight generations of literature, and the commander of the three armies. 'Praise Tan Zhang's novels, the writing is simple and magnificent, the story is tortuous and vast, and there is a grandmaster's style. The existence of a new genre. ”
"Whether "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has created a new genre is a matter for us to test. But its sales figures truly record this period of madness - the mainland simplified Chinese version has a circulation of 830,000 copies in a single volume, a complete set of 8 volumes, a total of 6.64 million copies, and won the first place in the best-selling book list in 2002. The circulation of the traditional Chinese version in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas is 390,000 copies, and the complete set is also 8 volumes, with a total of 3.12 million copies. A total of 9.76 million copies were sold. And piracy is even more. ”
At the age of sixteen, Tan Zhang has done something that 99% of writers can't do. The popularity of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has brought Tan Zhang immeasurable wealth and fame. And how can a teenager, who has turned 17 years old this year, deal with it safely in the face of such a huge fame and fortune? ”
"This issue of Southern Weekly takes you into Tan Zhang's martial arts world."
……
In this era, the Tianya Forum is still active with a large group of martial arts fans.
There are countless posts about martial arts every day.
Last night, a person posted a post of "A sentence from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". I don't know how it aroused everyone's excitement, and the messages were very active. In just one night, there were eight more pages of messages.
"I like Huang Rong and Zhou Botong so much."
"I relied on this book to get through the SARS period!"
"I used to watch the four famous catches on "Ancient Legends", and I thought it was incredible, and then I bought "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and after reading it, I felt that the previous novels were all in vain, this is martial arts!"
"Classic."
"I think just this book, Tan Zhang has written the road of martial arts."
"I've started watching it for the third time. Wait until I'm done reading it and then write about it. ”
"Rong'er is my ideal wife."
"Can I read other novels after reading "Shooting the Condor"?"
"What I said upstairs is too mysterious, it's average, I feel like the protagonist is a pen, it's not interesting."
"Fools have foolish blessings, and Guo Jing is not stupid. It's simple, if you are really a fool, how can you learn the eighteen palms of the dragon. ”
"Which one do you think has the highest martial arts?"
"Damn, there's another battle upstairs, right? Posts about Condor martial arts, can you go out and find it yourself, I'm almost annoyed to death during this time, and who's martial arts are high all day long. ”
"When I finished reading it, I liked Guo Jing very much and hated Yang Kang. But now that more than a month has passed, I suddenly feel that if it were me, I would definitely choose to betray the country for glory, and suddenly understood Yang Kang. ”
"I like Huang Rong, I like Huang Rong, I like Huang Rong."
"I watched "Shooting the Condor" in class, but it was confiscated by the teacher, and after a few days, the teacher returned the book to me and asked me if I had the next volume...... I really want to say that I won't show you, but seeing the desire in the teacher's eyes, I still gave it, isn't it too kind. ”
Looking at the content in the post, they are all saying that "Shooting the Condor" is good, and it is not impossible to say that there are zero bad reviews.
There are many, many more posts like this discussing "Condor Shooting".
Every day, under this kind of post, people tout or lead to war, touting which paragraph is well written, who writes well in love with whom, who fights whose martial arts are high, who can't beat whom, and so on.
And today, another post appeared.
This post is also about "Condor Shooting": "The latest hot news: Tan Zhang's new book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", will be on the shelves on August 1st, with all six volumes, and it is still one a month! This article is quoted from Southern Weekly. ”
As soon as the post came out, it quickly detonated the martial arts fans of Tianya.
All of them pulled out of all kinds of hype and melee posts and squeezed into this post.
"Really?"
"Strong sofa grabbing, who has my fast Internet speed."
"Tell me out loud, I'm not on the second floor!"
""The Condor Heroes", don't tease the landlord, the eagles have been shot, and the Condor Heroes are still hairy!"
"Great, there's another novel to read."
"Tan Zhang is too good, he's prolific, "Shooting the Condor" has been written for half a year for 1.2 million words, is this new book finished in half a year?"
"Upstairs underestimated our family Boss Tan, the newspaper said that "The Condor Heroes" had been written, a total of one million words. It's just that the publication time was postponed because of SARS before. ”
"I'll it, tease me, is Tan Zhang a humanoid typewriter, it didn't take long for a new set of books to come out."
"I also read Southern Weekly's interview with Zhang Tan. "The Condor Heroes" is based on Yang Kang's son, named Yang Guo. ”
"Good guy upstairs, can you share the report?"
"I took a picture, but I can't upload it, Tianya website is garbage."
"Will Yang Kang's son take Guo Jing's son as his wife?"
"It's a bit heavy upstairs."
"Ah, it's wrong, it's Guo Jing's daughter."
"I don't know, I'll have to ask the author about this."
"August 3 in Huainan City, An Wei Province, Joint Bookstore. Tan Zhang's book signing meeting, when the time comes, you can chat with Tan Zhang about "The Condor Heroes" at close range. On August 10, the book signing will be held in Nanqing, on August 17, in Guangzhou, and on August 24 and August 31, the venue of two more events has yet to be determined. Book friends who support Tan Zhang, please relay this message. ”
"Huainan will sign books, my home is in Huainan. When the time comes, I will definitely go! ”
"It only hit the shelves in August, so I'm in a hurry. I want to see it now. ”
"Although I can't go to the Huainan book signing party, but after the new book is on the shelves, I must go to the show, Tan Zhang is my favorite martial arts writer."
"Go together, go together."
The news, like wings, spread all over the Internet.
I have to say. Zhang Tan's popularity has surpassed that of previous history, and he is the most famous martial arts master. Maybe when it comes to status, he is still a little worse, but there is no doubt that at the moment, he is the most popular martial arts author. Hong Kong and Taiwan's Zhang Feifei and Li Tiejian have to avoid their edge. Zhang Tan, who was standing on the shoulders of giants, started at a height that was a little exaggerated.
It must be known that Jin Yong is a bug-like existence in the martial arts novel circle, and it is said that his novels have sold more than 100 million pirated books, which is simply against the sky. Even if it sells so much, it can be adapted into film and television dramas countless times, and the charm of the work can be seen.
Even if Zhang Tan's writing is not as good as Jin Yong's, it is still not comparable to ordinary works. His writing is not bad, he is also talented in writing, and there are sufficient film and television resources for him to learn from and create. Even if it is better written than Jin Yong, it is not an impossible thing.
Now there are two books of four famous catches and one of the eagles.
Earned enough popularity.
With enough popularity base and the release of a new book, the influence can be imagined.
……
Xinlang Entertainment: "Tan Zhang, the leader of mainland martial arts, the new book "The Condor Heroes" was released! ”
Dangdang.com: "The pre-sale of Tan Zhang's new book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by Tan Zhang, the author of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", was shockingly opened. ”
Fox Network: "Do you still remember the martial arts masterpiece "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in which the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people, the second part of the trilogy "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is about to set off the next round of heroic frenzy. ”
"China Youth Daily": "The extraordinary literary road of ordinary teenagers, famous catches, eagle shooting, and condor create martial arts legends. ”
"Life News": "Chinese novels look at martial arts, and martial arts novels look at Tan Zhang." ”
"Ancient Legends. The Martial Arts Edition is still serializing "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but it does not prevent Zhang Tan's new book from being advertised: "The second part of the Condor Trilogy "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is available in major bookstores across the country on August 1, so stay tuned. ”
In the scorching weather of July, martial arts fans across the country are looking forward to Zhang Tan's new book "The Condor Heroes".
It can be said that unconsciously, Zhang Tan's fame has been able to compare with singers in the entertainment industry who have released new albums and directors who have released new movies.
However, Zhang Tan ignored the noise before these new books hit the shelves.
Together with his father Zhang Quanshun, he followed Li Yan and flew to Beiqi, because the film and television adaptation rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" had already been negotiated.
The TV series adaptation rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were sold to Zhang Dabeard Studio at a price of 500,000 yuan. The adaptation right is a one-time thing, and after the TV series is broadcast, the adaptation right will be automatically withdrawn. At the same time, Zhang Tan will serve as the cultural consultant of the TV series, mainly responsible for supervising the adaptation of the script.
This time, I flew to Beiqi to sign a contract.
"Xiao Zhang, you've been famous for a long time."
When they came to Zhang Dabeard's studio and met with each other, the bearded man held Zhang Tan's hand and looked very enthusiastic.
The other party was enthusiastic, Zhang Tan felt that the atmosphere was good, and half-jokingly said: "Director Zhang's name, I am also like thunder." ”
"You're welcome." Zhang Dabeard laughed and shook hands with Zhang Quanshun again, "You are Xiao Zhang's father, you have cultivated a great son." (To be continued.) )
