Clap, clap, clap.
Da da da.
The room was filled with the sound of keyboards.
This is the tenth day after Chu Kuang announced the news of his new book.
For ten days, Lin Yuan basically did not go out, let alone go to the company to show his face. He just stayed at home and wrote books.
Write a minimum of 50,000 words every day.
Just like the donkey in the production team.
The novel has been written to one third or even more at this point.
If Lin Yuan didn't have to consider the changes between several versions, he could be even faster.
In fact, he has an even more ruthless trick, which is to exchange energy potions with the system. However, that thing has side effects, and the lost sleep and the like must be made up in the end, so Lin Yuan basically will not use it unless it is necessary.
It’s not free…
In addition to writing books, Lin Yuan would also keep in touch with Sun Yaohuo.
Because Sun Yaohuo told Lin Yuan that Shadow's art exhibition was about to be put on the agenda.
Only then did Lin Yuan realize that the year was almost over, and the shadow painting exhibition was originally scheduled to be held at the end of the year.
…
The other side.
A large number of readers in Weizhou and Zhongzhou have finished reading The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy.
It was fine at the beginning. After all, The Legend of the Condor Heroes is the best of the Condor Heroes trilogy, and all new readers were full of praise for it.
Who would have thought that the style would suddenly change in "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
Many people who praised Chu Kuang started cursing him the next moment.
However, readers who have finished reading Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao and Jizhou are inexplicably good.
Because Zhongzhou and Weizhou’s readers also experienced the unforgettable pain they felt back then.
It was not until I finished reading The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber in its entirety that the criticisms from Zhongzhou and Weizhou decreased, although many readers also had various dislikes for Zhang Wuji, the protagonist of the third part.
"As expected, I still like The Legend of the Condor Heroes the best."
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes is really great. I didn't expect that martial arts could have such a scale!"
"Although The Condor Heroes is very cruel, it is generally very good. However, it is really not as good as The Legend of the Condor Heroes in terms of scale."
“When it comes to Yitian, it’s a pure and refreshing novel.”
"That's right, Zhang Wuji's experience is simply extremely fantasy."
"When I read the Condor Heroes trilogy, I was so surprised. I couldn't believe that the author of these martial arts novels was the same person as the author of the Harry Potter series. From the style to the genre to the writing style, the contrast is so huge!"
"yes."
"Only after reading the old book by Chu Kuang Lao Zei can you understand why he ranks so high. His imagination is really amazing!"
"Go and catch up on his Journey to the West right away."
"It seems that the most famous masterpiece of Chu Kuang Lao Zei is Journey to the West. According to the online encyclopedia, this book has surpassed The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy in terms of sales and influence."
"I'm suddenly looking forward to Chu Kuang's new martial arts book even more!"
"You guys read it too late. The Harry Potter series just finished in June, and I read these three famous martial arts novels by Chu Kuang. So when I was watching Kung Fu in the cinema, I heard that the landlord's name was Yang Guo and the landlady's name was Xiao Longnu. Other Central Continent audiences didn't get the meme at all. Only I laughed like a 300-pound fat man. Oh, I almost forgot that I am a 300-pound fat man."
"Haha, I got the picture!"
"If you had watched the Condor Heroes trilogy, you would have understood the plots in Kung Fu better, such as the various martial arts."
Weizhou.
Zhongzhou.
Countless readers are discussing Chu Kuang, The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy, and his new book.
When the discussion reached its climax, six continents including Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han and Zhao also joined the discussion.
…
And it is hotly discussed around the world.
Some book reviewers and experts from Zhongzhou and Weizhou have also published their impressions after reading The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy online.
Various book reviews.
Various short essays.
These are scenes that have happened in Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, and Zhao, and are now happening again in Wei and Zhong.
The difference from before is:
This time, Chu Kuang also has a ranking battle with Lu Yang as the reading background.
Because of this, many people started predicting the direction of the battle between the two while talking about the Condor Heroes trilogy.
in.
An internet celebrity who is an honorary professor of a university suddenly published an article.
The name of the article is "Chu Kuang's martial arts fantasy, an adult fairy tale from perfect to imperfect."
“I recently finished reading the Condor Heroes trilogy in one go.
After reading many reviews on the Internet, people from all continents praised Chu Kuang's 360-degree all-round skills, as if these three martial arts books were the pinnacle of Blue Star martial arts.
I feel the need to say something harsh:
The last two parts of the Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy cannot be said to be a poor sequel, but they are still a little lacking in meaning.
Let’s talk about “The Return of the Condor Heroes”.
I don't mind the incomplete setting.
I just feel that as a connecting work to the previous and subsequent Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy, the plot of The Return of the Condor Heroes is a bit scattered.
After reading the whole text, I found that the plot is almost entirely driven by several villains such as Li Mochou and King Jinlun. These characters seem to appear just for the sake of appearing. Although Chu Kuang has already controlled the rhythm very well, compared with the previous work, the structure is obviously flat, giving people a pale and powerless feeling.
Then there was the extremely exciting "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
The strengths of this book are as obvious as its weaknesses.
Everyone on the internet is praising its advantages, let me point out its disadvantages. Don’t you think the scene where Zhang Wuji learns Kung Fu is too simple
When he was being chased and fell off a cliff, he encountered the martial arts secret book.
This plot is so simple and crude that it makes me question my life.
Only "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is so perfect in my opinion.
The greatest heroes serve their country and their people. On a larger scale, the plot is profound and the intention is far-reaching; on a smaller scale, the characters are well-developed. All the martial artists on Blue Star seem petty in front of this film.
But…
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was published first, so why is this one the most highly rated
I think it's a bit too much. The last two parts of the trilogy are getting more and more mechanical. The plots deliberately pursue excitement and passion, and the complicated and fancy martial arts moves are purely for attracting attention. The cliché setting of one man and many women in the third part makes me frown.
Then I thought again, I felt that I was asking too much.
Even my various criticisms of the latter two books cannot conceal the fact that the quality of those two books has surpassed other martial arts novels on Blue Star.
But the problem is:
Chu Kuang’s new book is also about martial arts. Judging from the level of his last two books in The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy, can he really beat Lu Yang who has returned from retiring from writing
I'm not a fan of Luyang.
On the contrary, I prefer Chu Kuang.
I just want to make it clear to everyone: Chu Kuang's three martial arts novels are constantly deteriorating. The so-called trilogy can be said to be one weaker than the other, but this cannot be blamed on him.
Because since Chu Kuang wrote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he has stood at the top of the martial arts world.
After that it was all downhill.
The Legend of the Condor Heroes is a perfect work that cannot be surpassed!
I just wonder why Chu Kuang’s new book is still a martial arts novel
As far as I know, he is also good at all kinds of unexpected subjects.
As someone who stands at the pinnacle of martial arts, he has already experienced all the beautiful scenery of the martial arts world. Wouldn't it be better to change the subject matter? After all, with the level of the last two parts of his trilogy, it is really difficult to compete with Lu Yang who is at his peak, unless he can grow wings and fly from the top of martial arts mountain to the sky.
But that’s not martial arts.
This kind of fantasy thing is impossible to happen."
…
This internet celebrity is not really a hater.
As he said, he has always liked Chu Kuang.
Including in his past updates, he has recommended Chu Kuang's novels more than once.
Especially "Journey to the West", which he regarded as the supreme classic and he recommended it crazily to readers in Beijing.
It is precisely for this reason that his pessimistic view this time not only caught many people by surprise, but also caused many people to think.
“That’s true.”
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy is indeed wonderful, but it cannot cover up the fact that each of the three novels is inferior to the previous one."
"Especially in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, you can feel that Chu Kuang has already fully mastered the creative skills of martial arts, but there are not many plots that make people feel aftertaste and shock. On the contrary, there are many impressive parts in the first two parts."
"So, the old thief is going to lose?"
"Don't be ridiculous. I've been a fan of Lao Zei for so many years, and he has never lost in a fight."
"That's your habitual thinking. What level were Chu Kuang's previous opponents at? What level are his current opponents at?"
"You've made me feel uncertain, but what's the matter with my inexplicable expectations?"
"Hahaha, they are all black fans. This old thief has no normal fans."
"That makes sense. I'm a fan of the blogger, but I still want to read Chu Kuang's new martial arts book."
"Upstairs plus one."
"It's probably because the next volume of Chu Kuang Lao Zei's martial arts novel, even if it's not his best work, we know that no one on Blue Star can write martial arts novels better than him."
"yes!"
"The lower limit of the old thief's martial arts is the upper limit of Blue Star's martial arts."
"It can only be said that The Legend of the Condor Heroes is both its success and its failure. It's like Lao Zei's children's literature may never surpass the Harry Potter series. One book directly wrote a category to the end. The same is true for martial arts. It's just that Chu Kuang keeps writing and we will continue to read and criticize him."
…
Perhaps this article resonated with many people.
After reading The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy, Weizhou and Zhongzhou readers also had similar feelings.
Even early readers from the six continents of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, and Zhao expressed similar sentiments:
After Chu Kuang finished writing The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
They also created The Return of the Condor Heroes.
There is also "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
The last two parts can be seen as supplements to the trilogy.
Unfortunately, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has reached the end of martial arts in terms of form and techniques, so although these two works are classics, they are obviously not enough to surpass the first one.
There are a lot of comments.
In the end, the article became completely popular!
Many people rushed to repost the article on major forums, and even Lin Yuan, who rarely found time to surf the Internet after writing, accidentally saw this short essay.
Lin Yuan's first reaction was:
What this big V said makes a lot of sense!
After all, Mr. Jin's The Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy is recognized as the best.
However, when he saw the last few sentences of this article, Lin Yuan smiled.
Is The Legend of the Condor Heroes the pinnacle of martial arts
If you want to stand higher, you have to grow wings and fly from the top of the martial arts mountain to the sky
This flag has been set.
Perhaps the outside world also thought so after Jin Yong wrote the Condor Heroes trilogy, but those people still underestimated the upper limit of the ability of a martial arts master, just like Lan Xing felt that he had seen the end of martial arts after watching The Legend of the Condor Heroes.
Having said that.
Each installment in the Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy is worse than the previous one. Under such circumstances, if I had not known the truth, I would probably not have thought that Jin Yong could give a test paper with a higher score than full marks in the later period.
You know.
When people in China discuss which of Jin Yong's works is the most classic, these three works usually pop up in many people's minds.
One is "Swordsman".
One is "The Deer and the Cauldron".
One is "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
"Swordsman" is a free work that alleges political struggle.
The Deer and the Cauldron is an anti-martial arts work with sublimated ideas.
Tianlong is a magnificent work based on Buddhism and full of compassion for the world.
Jin Yong's fans are arguing over which of these three works is better.
The Legend of the Condor Heroes doesn’t even make it into this list, it can only be put there as fourth place as a backup.
And in Lin Yuan's heart.
The best martial arts novel is "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
Of course, Lin Yuan also likes "The Deer and the Cauldron", but that book is a pigtail play.
For some well-known reasons, Mr. Lin does not like the Qing Dynasty.
Died early in the morning.
If Lin Yuan were to write "The Deer and the Cauldron" in the future, the dynasty background would definitely be changed beyond recognition.
Ni Kuang once said something worth pondering:
The later work "The Deer and the Cauldron" is Jin Yong's best novel.
"The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is Jin Yong's best martial arts novel.
From what Ni Kuang said, he no longer considers "The Deer and the Cauldron" to be a martial arts novel.
Anti-martial arts.
…
Lin Yuan did not dwell too much on this article, and he had no ill will towards the person who posted it. He was just expressing his own opinion.
Nothing wrong.
What I have to do is to quickly take out "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and let the fire of martial arts burn again.
Thinking of this.
Lin Yuan stopped resting and continued typing.
one day.
Two days.
Three days.
Four days.
In the blink of an eye, another twenty days passed.
This night.
Lin Yuan finally wrote the finale of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
The Jianghu ends;
Xiao Feng shed blood at Yanmen Pass and committed suicide with a broken arrow;
Ah Zi dug out her own eyes and returned them to Zhuang Juxian to commit suicide;
Lin Yuan tapped on the keyboard:
Seven or eight country children knelt in front of the tomb, shouting in a disorderly manner: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" While shouting and kneeling, some stretched out their hands and shouted: "Give me candy, give me cakes!"
Murong Fu said: "My dear ministers, please stand still. I have restored the Great Yan and ascended the throne. Everyone will receive a reward."
…
In the end, Lin Yuan did not follow Mr. Jin's revised version of the plot and hand Wang Yuyan over to Murong Fu.
Maybe it’s for the nostalgia of the old version
Anyway, in terms of acceptance, this is what everyone likes most.
Although Lin Yuan doesn't mind using this kind of plot to "hurt the readers", it's not enough to hurt just for the sake of hurting.
As for rationality
Whether Wang Yuyan follows Murong Fu or not, it is actually logically reasonable. Perhaps the key point lies in the mood of the characters and the audience.
Crackling.
After typing the last few words of the novel, Lin Yuan stretched and sent the document to Jinmu.
It was already late October.
Lin Yuan completed the task within the appointed time.
