Chapter 209: Innovation in Martial Arts
When Ni Kuang took Zhang Ning to Chengbi Pavilion to meet Jin Yong, Zhang Ning was a little excited.
"Boy Zhang Ning, I've seen Mr. Jin."
However, Jin Yong smiled and looked at Zhang Ning, who had been discussing with Ni Kuang before, with great interest, "Zhang Ning Xiaoyou, don't be so polite, I'm not a hero in the novel, everyone is an ordinary person, but there is no need for wrinkles." ”
Saying this, Ni Kuang on the side also said, "Yes, although Brother Cha has always been called Jin Daxia, he is actually an ordinary person, don't be too restrained." It's better to be like you did to me. ”
It's just that Ni Kuang said so, but Zhang Ning still couldn't let go.
Since he was a child, Jin Yong's influence on him has been too deep, and even many of his thoughts have been influenced by Jin Yong's martial arts novels. As for Ni Kuang, although he can be regarded as a party, he has not yet reached the height of Jin Yong. Moreover, Ni Kuang's personality is lively and fun, and Zhang Ning has not felt any pressure after getting to know him in the past two days.
"Ni Kuang is right, Zhang Ning Xiaoyou, you still don't have to be too restrained, otherwise, after a while, how can you persuade me to sell you the copyright."
"Ah......h
Zhang Ning looked at Ni Kuang, but Ni Kuang winked at him, and in an instant, Zhang Ning knew that Ni Kuang had helped him.
Thinking about this, Zhang Ning has some gratitude for Ni Kuang.
Although Ni Kuang looks a little like an old playboy, his nature is sincere, which makes Zhang Ning feel very close.
"It turns out that Mr. Jin already knew my intentions, but I heard that Mr. Jin has some prejudices against video games, and I am not too sure to convince you, Mr. Kim."
"If you can't convince you, then forget it, let's talk about something else today, don't talk about copyright issues, what do you think?"
Although Jin Yong is a literati, many people don't know that Jin Yong is not only engaged in literature, but also in business and even politics.
His People's Daily is one of the largest newspapers in Hong Kong.
Not to mention the political circles, Jin Yong participated in the drafting of the Basic Law of Hong Kong.
Because of this, in just a few words, Zhang Ning had a feeling that he didn't know how to speak.
It's just that Zhang Ning came to Xiangjiang this time to buy Jin Yong's copyright, how can he go home.
"I think it's better to talk about copyright first."
Zhang Ning insisted.
"Oh, that's fine, it's still the same as it was, how are you going to convince me?"
Seeing Zhang Ning this time, in addition to Jin Yong's curiosity about Zhang Ning, Jin Yong also wanted to see what genius Zhang Ning had.
Speaking like this, on the one hand, I don't want to sell the copyright and adapt it into a video game, and on the other hand, I also want to test Zhang Ning.
"Well...... this"
This is really a puzzling question, and Zhang Ning asked, "Mr. Jin, are you worried that video games will make young players addicted to them and thus waste their business?" ”
"That's right."
Jin Yong nodded.
"Actually, this matter is easy to solve. Mr. Jin, I think that there are two sides to everything. Video games may be addictive to some people, but in the same way, they can also mediate people's moods and achieve entertainment effects. If you are tired and want to play video games while you want to rest, it is great for your physical and mental health. ”
"Hehe, what's the benefit, look at Ni Kuang, it's because he plays games every day and doesn't exercise, he has become such a style."
Saying this, Ni Kuang immediately jumped out, "Brother Cha, I'm like this, it has nothing to do with playing video games, don't mess with me." However, Jin Yong ignored Ni Kuang and continued, "As far as I know, the people who like to play video games in China are some young players. In particular, there are some minors. If they play the games you developed every day, wouldn't that hurt these minors? ”
This made Zhang Ning have a headache even more.
In fact, there are a lot of minors playing video games in China. Moreover, in later generations, with the continuous development of video games, many media also regarded video games as electronic heroin, and constantly suppressed and suppressed them. It wasn't until 2014 that it was slightly better. But even so, many parents are disgusted when they talk about video games.
Fortunately, Zhang Ning has a not particularly good answer to this, but it can be answered just as well.
"Mr. Jin, I think you are too worried. In fact, video games have long been developed abroad. Like Japan, the United States, they almost all grew up playing video games. Not only children, but also many adults nowadays, they are very passionate about video games. However, there is no such thing as video game addiction in them. Moreover, Mr. Kim. If you really want to say that you are addicted, it is only a small part. And, there's a small part of it that you can't change at all. Even if there are no video games, these people will be attracted to other fun things and they will be addicted to them.
Like, when I was a child, I read martial arts novels. At that time, many people thought that reading miscellaneous books such as martial arts novels would not help them at all for learning. In fact, it really didn't help. Moreover, I have read too many martial arts novels, and I also have such and such fantasies every day, and in the end, I read novels and novels every day, and in the end, I can't even take classes well. If so, is it even a martial arts novel to be banned? ”
Jin Yong was dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that Zhang Ning would actually come up with such a crooked theory.
It just sounds like it makes sense.
However, without waiting for Jin Yong to react, Zhang Ning took the opportunity to say again, "I think our martial arts culture has gradually declined. The post-70s, post-80s, may still know what martial arts are. However, in the future, the post-90s, or even the post-00s, may not know what martial arts are. And I think that video games happen to be a tool to inherit this martial arts culture. When they play games, let them feel martial arts again and feel the chivalrous culture of China since ancient times. ”
Of course, this is complete.
A game is a game, and when you play a game, you don't care what culture you don't have.
However, hearing these words in Jin Yong's ears, he was quite moved.
Martial arts culture is in decline.
Martial arts novels don't sell much either.
The spirit of martial arts has gradually faded out of people's field of vision.
Even, in the media, it has been reported that martial arts are dead.
As a promoter of martial arts culture, Jin Yong can only sigh whenever he thinks of this.
However, even if he sighed, he didn't have much to do.
It's just that the video games that Zhang Ning mentioned seem to be a really good way to spread martial arts culture as another carrier.
Just like TV, movies, comics...... In fact, isn't engaging in these things also spreading martial arts culture?
Video games, too, have this feature.
Seeing that Jin Yong was deep in thought, Zhang Ning continued, "Moreover, games are human nature. Everyone will love to play games, not only Chinese, but also foreigners. For a long time, many games, many film and television works, and many comic works have been spread to our country by Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, and we have been influenced by the culture of these game works. However, we have never influenced them with this culture. In other words, I have tried it, but the effect is not ideal. Although, I know, this is caused by the cultural differences between the East and the West. But in the form of video games, it can break the barrier between Eastern and Western cultures, so that our Eastern culture can be quickly transmitted to Western culture, and slowly influence them. I think that this has also spread our martial arts culture in another way, and even spread it farther and wider......"
Zhang Ning's tongue is like a lotus, and when it comes to the back, even Zhang Ning believes some of the nonsense he made up.
A voice in his head told him that games can really spread culture and affect the whole world.
Like, the World of Warcraft in the afterlife.
This game that has swept the world, although it is an online game, but under the influence of this online game, World of Warcraft has combined Western Warcraft culture and elf culture ...... Slowly spread to the whole of China.
If you build a game that has a global impact, can it be like World of Warcraft?
Thinking about this, Zhang Ning was a little excited.
It was possible, he felt.
Just like Plants vs. Zombies, now, many foreign players have become interested in those special hopping zombies. Moreover, they are also looking for a lot of information on iron-armored corpses, bronze armored corpses, silver-armored corpses, and gold-armored corpses.
"I have to say, what you said really changed my opinion about video games a lot."
Jin Yong was thoughtful.
Especially at the end, Zhang Ning said that spreading martial arts culture to all parts of the world made Jin Yongda interested.
Of course, when Zhang Ning said this, he actually intended to say it to Jin Yong.
Because, he knows, martial arts culture is only limited to China, although where there are Chinese, there are martial arts novels and Jin Yong novels. Almost, Jin Yong's martial arts novels have spread all over the world. However, no matter how he spreads, it is always passed on in the Chinese circle. Leaving the Chinese, people from other countries don't know much about Jin Yong and martial arts.
"Okay, let's not talk about video games, let's talk about martial arts."
I don't know why, Jin Yong suddenly didn't want to continue talking about video games, and turned to martial arts, "As you said, martial arts culture has gradually declined, and some people even say that martial arts are dead." What do you think about this? ”
Zhang Ning didn't answer, he looked at Jin Yong, and then at Ni Kuang on the side, not knowing whether to answer or not.
"Stinky boy, didn't you say a lot in front of me a few days ago, why, in front of Brother Cha, you didn't dare to say it?"
Ni Kuang glared at Zhang Ning and said.
"Okay, then I'll talk about my opinion on martial arts, what's wrong, don't be surprised by the two."
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhang Ning said.
"The title of martial arts is dead, some of it is too absolute. In my opinion, although martial arts novels are gradually inferior to before, this spirit of martial arts is still there. Many people are still influenced by this martial arts spirit. As for the death of the martial arts mentioned, it is probably because of the weak successor of martial arts novels. ”
"You're right. It's just that I want to hear it, martial arts novels, why is there no successor? ”
"There are many reasons for this, one reason is that some martial arts masters such as Mr. Jin have closed their pens and no longer write martial arts novels. Of course, this is not the most important reason. The most important reason is that martial arts novels have been patterned and routined. Under this routine, he can no longer produce greater innovations. And if something is not innovative, it will die in a few decades, or even centuries. Culture, too. Just like Tang and Song poems, although they developed greatly at that time, when time passed slowly. If such a culture does not keep pace with the times, it will fade. ”
"So, your legend of mortal immortal cultivation is a work brought about by martial arts innovation?"
As he spoke, Jin Yong took out the information that Ni Kuang had printed out before, and pointed to a few big characters in the mortal immortal cultivation biography.
