Originally, martial arts novels in time and space have already declined, and Zhang Qiuxi can't say how it fell, Zhang Qiuxi has also read a lot of other martial arts novels in this time and space, and she will take time to read the sample issue of "Jianghu Night Talk" every time she sends it, but he doesn't have much energy to put it on martial arts novels.

Standing on the podium, Zhang Qiuxi couldn't figure out a clue, and first said: "I'm very happy to be able to stand here today, first of all, I want to congratulate the 30th anniversary of the release of Jianghu Night Talk, thank you for the magazine's support to us, and I hope that both the magazine and the martial arts novel can go to the next level." ”

"Regarding the future of martial arts novels, in fact, I haven't sorted out the clue yet, and I'm as confused as you. The outside world has been debating for a long time about whether the current martial arts novels are really prosperous or false, and as a person in the bureau, I regret that I still have doubts about this. ”

Before the outside world sang about martial arts novels, mainly because after Hua Yongsheng sealed his pen, there was no character who could carry the crown, although the annual output was high, but all of them were inactive, and there were almost no classics. The emergence of Zhang Qiuxi broke this situation, and her works have been able to keep pace with Hua Yongsheng, but those who hold this view have not changed their views.

She is just a standout, if you use a metaphor to describe it, it is like she is standing at the top of the pyramid, and the others have not even climbed to the middle position, so her appearance in the eyes of pessimistic people is just the last return to the glory of martial arts novels, at most it is to extend the time a little, and she may collapse more strictly in the future.

Even in the room, these people held two different views. Editor Canghai is the one who thinks that martial arts novels are not optimistic, and people with two views have quarreled several times before she came to power, if not they can be restrained. The venue has long been in chaos.

"As for whether the current martial arts novels are really prosperous or false, I am not so pessimistic but not optimistic, I think there is a dilemma, but readers have not abandoned martial arts, which is positive."

According to statistics, all the martial arts novel magazines combined can sell tens of millions of copies every month. "Jianghu Night Talk" accounts for nearly half, and the remaining dozens sell hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands of sales per issue. The pyramid structure of a magazine is healthier than that of a writer. There is no hollowing phenomenon.

Because of the small scale of some magazines, the strength of their authors is limited, and the quality of the works written is also poor, but there will still be a small number of people who will read it. Judging from these aspects, martial arts novels are indeed still very prosperous now, otherwise there would not be such a large and mature market.

"So I don't think there is a need to worry about a direct collapse now, and what makes me feel unoptimistic is actually the authors themselves, whether it is the market or the readers, they all rely on us to grasp it. So I want to point out that both views are too extreme, the pessimistic one is too pessimistic, and the optimistic one is too blind. ”

"As for those who are worried, I think you probably felt powerless when you were creating, and you didn't know how to write. The reason why I say that people with the opposite view are blindly optimistic. Is it difficult to write a martial arts novel for the same reason? It's not difficult for a junior high school student. ”

"It's nothing more than creating a male protagonist and making the protagonist bear the hatred of the country and the family. Then add a heroine to complete the mission with the protagonist, and a martial arts novel is completed. It's not difficult to write martial arts novels, but it's hard to write well, to write so that readers like it, and now readers read everything, and I think there are reasons why I don't have a choice. ”

It feels like a domestic movie. Most domestic films have been running for money from the beginning, without any sincerity or respect for the audience. And the audience has no choice, there are such bad movies in the cinema, and the only choice is to watch or not to watch it.

The authors of "Jianghu Night Talk" are of a higher level than each other, and the quality is also at the upper level, but they can only be regarded as high-quality products and are far from being classics. They think that this can also make readers agree that there is no zài problem in martial arts novels.

"I'm the youngest compared to you, and some of my words may be disrespectful. Compared with you, I have to be lucky, before I came to the stage, the editor of Canghai told me that it was up to me this time, in fact, I have always been very apprehensive in my heart, but since I am standing on the stage, then I will also speak freely. ”

"First of all, starting from the identity of a reader, there are now a variety of martial arts novels, all kinds of genres, it seems that no matter what genre you like, you can find wonderful works. That's true, but how many books are there that readers can remember after reading them? Most of them have been reduced to being able to guess the ending when you see the beginning. ”

"From the author's point of view, this question has been said once just now, from the beginning of Pingjiang's predecessors to the peak of Hua Yongsheng's predecessors, I feel that I have written everything that can be written over the past few decades, and the creation of the plot has become extremely difficult, no matter how you write it, readers can find a familiar bridge."

Although the current martial arts novels are not as exaggerated as the routine texts of the original time-space web novels, there are similar situations, such as a certain kind of bridge will often be seen, such as the protagonist falling into the cliff in various ways. Homogenization is also a problem faced by idle martial arts novels.

The people in the audience didn't think she had anything disrespectful, the master is the teacher, Zhang Qiuxi is more successful than these people, she is qualified to stand on the stage and scold Fang Xuan, she spread it out, and everyone listened very carefully.

She continued: "I have discussed it before in both the media and senior critics, and it is clear that my success lies in writing a completely different style from the current martial arts novels, that is, innovation. In the past ten years, most of the authors have been learning from Hua Yongsheng's predecessors, and now many people have begun to learn my style. ”

This kind of imitation is not exactly the same as following the trend, mainly because of the imitation style rather than the story and plot, since Zhang Qiuxi wrote "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", many martial arts novel authors have shifted from chivalry to prodigal son, but there is no swarm of thief male protagonists.

"To be honest, it's not modest, it's easy to imitate my style, but it's impossible to imitate verve. It's easy to imitate the charm of Hua Yongsheng's predecessors, but it will never reach his height, and I don't mind others imitating me, but this should only be done at the beginning stage. ”

The characteristics of Gu Long's novels can be seen at a glance, and it is indeed very easy to draw cats and tigers, but no one can imitate the essence of the prodigal son's feelings. Hua Yongsheng is the same as Jin Yong, the essence of the spirit is the great realm of chivalry for the country and the people, it is not difficult to create a protagonist for the country and the people, but it is impossible to achieve their realm, either let the protagonist for the country and the people or Guo Jingyang.

"So it's a dilemma, it's better to say that martial arts novels have reached a bottleneck period now, just like the development of old martial arts to new martial arts, which is also inevitable, and the focus depends on whether we, the authors, can break through this bottleneck. As for myself, I am still in this bottleneck, and my works do not have such reference value. ”

"As for how to break through, you need to work together, I think the reason why martial arts novels are called martial arts, mainly is martial arts and chivalry, as long as it is based on martial arts and adheres to the way of chivalry, it is a martial arts novel, both in terms of plot and form, there are still many things to excavate."

"The 5,000-year-old history of our Celestial Empire is worth writing about, and I think there are a lot of things worth learning from. Hua Yongsheng's predecessors were Buddhists, so they could see the shadow of Buddhism from all angles, and those who studied Hua Yongsheng's predecessors saw the national hatred and family hatred embedded in history, but they did not see these. ”

"We are the authors of martial arts novels, but we can't just be an author who can only make up stories, so that it will only bring pale stories and talk about Shen Yun. So I think that the current martial arts novels are strict because of homogenization, so even if they add profound themes, they seem pale and weak, and this is what needs to be changed. ”

said so much in one breath, looking back and thinking about it, Zhang Qiuxi didn't know what he said, but the people in the audience had a thoughtful expression, as if they had realized. After saying so much, my mouth was dry, and I felt that what I could say had been finished, and finally said: "Our traditional culture has three teachings and nine streams, and there are metaphysics like Qimen Dunjia, whether it is ideology or the form of 'martial arts', I think there are still many things that can be explored." ”

"Thank you, it's my humble opinion, not necessarily correct. You are all my predecessors, and you have more life experience than me, and I think I should understand many things more thoroughly than I do, and I am deeply honored if these words can help you. ”

bowed, Zhang Qiuxi walked off the stage in a round of applause, this kind of applause actually doesn't mean anything, people who can go on stage can get applause no matter how bad they speak, this is a kind of politeness.

It's been a long time since I've said so many things in one breath, Zhang Qiuxi poured a big mouthful of water as soon as he got off the stage, and although he replenished the water, his mouth still felt a little uncomfortable.

"Teacher Xiqiu, you spoke very well, you can see it from the expressions of other people." Canghai also seemed to be thoughtful, still reminiscing about Zhang Qiuxi's speech just now, Zhang Qiuxi nodded and didn't say more, the symposium was still going on, and the position under the stage was also very compact, this was not the right time for private communication.

In addition to speeches, it is also necessary to communicate with each other, and if you have any questions about someone's speech, you can ask questions, and the speaker will supplement them, and summarize them through repeated arguments.

The first to bear the brunt is Zhang Qiuxi, who has almost become the object of fire, and various problems such as how to innovate one after another. Although she is young, she has the highest achievements, and these people don't look at her as a junior. (To be continued) R580
