After responding to Kaneki, Lin Yuan also has to respond to the readers.
But not now, and certainly not as Chu Kuang.
Lin Yuan planned to ask Yi An to help explain it to the readers.
Because at the moment, apart from changing the plot of the novel, no matter what Chu Kuang said now, the readers would not listen, and it would easily arouse the readers even more -
At least these days.
Silence is golden for Chu Kuang.
But readers obviously cannot understand Chu Kuang's thoughts.
On the contrary, many people think that this is the "arrogance" from the old thief.
Think about the reader riots that occurred when Lao Zei wrote those heart-wrenching plots.
When did the old thief ever respond
Holmes did respond.
But he was not responding to the readers, but to the envious ones.
This lack of understanding led to "The Return of the Condor Heroes" still facing overwhelming criticism the day after its release.
Titles like "arrogant and conceited" are inevitably mentioned repeatedly by readers.
Anyway, this is not the first time that the old thief has been given this title.
Arrogance is also good.
Cold or not.
These are all eternal labels belonging to the old thief.
Fortunately, the glass in Lin Yuan’s house was not broken.
Chu Kuang's identity is still kept very secret.
Rumor:
Because of this incident, Jin Yong's family was in turmoil. This incident has been reported.
There are also rumors that the plot in which Xiaolongnu was humiliated was written by someone else, not by Jin Yong himself.
This statement was denied by Jin Yong himself.
It is true that someone did ghostwrite the later part of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
The most popular rumor is that Jin Yong wrote about Xiao Long Nu losing her virginity because he was unable to obtain his love for Xia Meng.
Xiaolongnu is the Xia Meng in his heart.
When Xia Meng fell into the arms of another man, Xiaolongnu lost her virginity in "The Return of the Condor Heroes".
“There’s a connection between reality and fiction.”
The truth or falsity of this speculation shall not be discussed here.
Anyway, the person who spreads this kind of gossip definitely has bad intentions.
There is a certain amount of dissatisfaction with Xiao Long Nu's loss of virginity in this deliberate arrangement, even to disgust the author -
At least Jin Yong didn't call and tell him about this in person.
And when "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was released on the third day.
There is only one day left before Lin Yuan’s three-day deadline.
Jin Mu couldn't hold his temper any longer, so he called Lin Yuan and said, "There are still a large number of readers blocking the door at the Silver Blue Library. How about you send a message to appease them?"
Lin Yuan asked back: "What?"
Jin Mu was stunned by the question for a moment, and Chu Kuang would be criticized no matter what he said at this time.
Unless he admits his mistakes and corrects them.
Lin Yuan said, "Ask the Silver Blue Library to order some food and drinks for everyone. I'll pay for it."
Kaneki: “…”
This suggestion is good, and Jinmu adopted it.
then.
That day.
Some people ate the food and drank the water bought by Chu Kuang, and continued to protest after they were full.
At this time.
A representative from the Public Relations Department of the Silver Blue Library said quietly, "The food and water you just had were provided by Teacher Chu Kuang."
Depend on!
It is said that one should be grateful when receiving favors from others and one should be grateful when eating from others.
The faces of the readers gathered at the door changed, and their protest momentum was almost destroyed by this sudden move.
…
The other side.
In a university classroom.
Professor Wang from the Department of Literature entered the classroom holding a copy of The Return of the Condor Heroes.
As soon as he entered the classroom, some students saw the copy of The Return of the Condor Heroes in his hand.
Many students in the audience immediately shouted, with a hint of excitement, and their faces were full of ridicule and joking:
"Has Professor Wang also watched The Return of the Condor Heroes?"
"I read it and finished it. I couldn't put it down for three days."
Professor Wang spoke calmly and gave an answer that stunned everyone.
Is it okay to keep reading
This book shocked readers from all over the world.
It is hard to imagine that someone would use the phrase "can't put the book down" to describe his or her love for The Return of the Condor Heroes, and it is even harder to imagine that this sentence actually came from the mouth of the old-fashioned Professor Wang.
Does Professor Wang have any special hobbies
Professor Wang asked the students in the audience:
"I answered your questions, but the last time I assigned you an assignment, your answers were broad and empty, full of generalities. Logically, you should know how to answer me now. What is a hero?"
Students in the audience: “…”
Why hasn’t this problem been resolved yet
Professor Wang was a little disappointed: "Chu Kuang has already given the answer in The Return of the Condor Heroes, don't you understand yet?"
"The greatest heroes serve their country and their people."
Just when Professor Wang was feeling disappointed, a girl wearing glasses in the front row suddenly spoke up.
Swish!
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole classroom fell silent!
The greatest hero is one who serves his country and his people
Everyone was quietly savoring this answer, and suddenly felt inexplicably shaken in their hearts.
Everyone has thought about the answer to this question before, but no answer can compare to these eight words!
And this answer actually comes from "The Return of the Condor Heroes"
On the podium.
Professor Wang was stunned: "Have you finished reading it?"
He raised the copy of The Return of the Condor Heroes in his hand and smiled at the girl who answered.
"I've finished reading it."
The girl also laughed.
Professor Wang asked, "Does it look good?"
The girl replied: "Stunning."
Professor Wang was pleased and said, "Very good. Anyone here who has finished reading this? Please raise your hands."
Swish, swish, swish!
One third of the class raised their hands.
Professor Wang asked the group, "Do you still feel angry after watching this?"
The readers hesitated for a moment, then shook their heads with complicated expressions.
The remaining two-thirds of the students looked confused. Of course, they had also watched "The Return of the Condor Heroes", but most of them did not finish it.
Some of them were angered by Huang Rong.
Some were discouraged by the part about Xiao Long Nu.
Some gave up because Yang Guo broke his arm.
So they don’t understand:
Why have so many people finished reading "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and expressed their admiration for this book
"hehe."
Professor Wang smiled: "Finally there are still some wise people, but there are many fools in this world who need to be taught, so in today's class, we will talk about Chu Kuang's "The Return of the Condor Heroes"!"
puff!
The students in the audience were at a loss whether to laugh or cry:
"No?"
“Can this book still be so amazing?”
"We're going to have a whole class dedicated to this book?"
"Do you really think there's nothing wrong with The Return of the Condor Heroes?"
"You've finished reading this book, so your poison resistance must be maxed out, right?"
"Because our poison resistance is not high enough, we are all idiots?"
There was an uproar in the audience.
Professor Wang knocked on the table and asked: "Students who haven't finished reading, can you tell me if there is anything wrong with it?"
"Huang Rong!"
“Yang Guo!”
"Little Dragon Girl!"
Most people shouted "Little Dragon Girl".
Professor Wang shrugged and said, "Then let's talk about it in the order of the book, starting with Huang Rong..."
Pause.
Professor Wang suddenly looked at one of the sneaky students and said, "Make me look photogenic this time!"
All right.
It turns out that this student is the guy who took the video when Professor Wang was talking about The Legend of the Condor Heroes last time, and he started it again today!
"Okay!"
The student smiled awkwardly, coughed, and actually raised his cell phone openly.
Ignore the student.
Professor Wang looked at the students and said, "You think the character of Huang Rong is ruined, right?"
A group of people in the audience nodded wildly.
Professor Wang shook his head and said unhappily, "You all watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes for nothing. I actually need to analyze this kind of thing in class!"
"But Huang Rong's character is ruined!"
"that is!"
"How wonderful Huang Rong is in The Legend of the Condor Heroes!"
"Huang Rong in The Condor Heroes seems to have become a different person!"
"The old thief forcibly destroyed his character for the sake of the plot!"
"He forgot about his old love after finding a new one. Just because Huang Rong is no longer the heroine, he doesn't take her seriously!"
The students in the audience were dissatisfied.
Professor Wang sighed:
"This is why I said that you all watched The Legend of the Condor Heroes in vain. When did Huang Rong's character collapse?"
"Students, when you reach middle age, you have no choice but to soak wolfberries in a thermos."
While sighing, Professor Wang took a sip of warm wolfberry tea, which immediately caused laughter.
This is a classroom after all.
Not the protest scene outside.
After all, extreme readers are a minority.
Now everyone is curious about how Professor Wang plans to whitewash Huang Rong in The Return of the Condor Heroes.
Yes.
Whitewash.
Everyone thinks that Professor Wang will definitely clear Huang Rong’s name next!
really.
Professor Wang spoke up: "When Huang Rong appeared in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, she was sixteen years old, innocent and childish. She could either run away from home in disguise or get into trouble without paying attention to etiquette. At that time, when she made mistakes, the whole world would forgive her, including you young readers. But what happened later?"
Professor Wang shook his head:
"Later, her brother Jing stepped half a foot into the system and became the leader of a pro-democracy organization like the Beggars' Sect. Do you still expect her to ride on a big eagle and wander around the world with Guo Daxia without any taboos?"
She is middle-aged.
After middle age, people get married and start a family, and unknowingly become contaminated with the worldly life and live a very busy life.
This is Huang Rong's helplessness.
Let me take the plot at the Heroes Conference as an example, and you can see how Huang Rong spent that day.
On this day, after getting up, she first discussed the marriage of Yang Guo and Guo Fu with Guo Jing, and then taught Lu Youjiao the mantra of the dog-beating stick technique. Unfortunately, Lu Youjiao was a dull person, and Huang Rong taught him for almost two hours, but he still hadn't learned it. He was really exhausted both physically and mentally.
Next, Huang Rong took Yang Guo aside to have a heart-to-heart talk to comfort his hurt heart.
Half a day had passed and the Heroes Conference hadn't officially started yet, but she was so tired that she felt unwell.
Because at that time, she was pregnant with her second child, and inside her belly was the unborn little Guo Xiang!
After the Hero Conference begins.
When everyone was clamoring to elect a leader to fight against the foreign enemies, Huodu led a group of masters including King Jinlun to cause trouble.
Lu Youjiao was defeated by them and his dog-beating stick was taken away. Huang Rong, a pregnant woman, had to go into battle herself to take back the dog-beating stick.
After all this trouble, Huo Du and the others were finally driven away, but Huang Rong still couldn't stop to rest. She still had to deal with the problem of the master-disciple relationship between Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu...
Are you tired
Of course I'm tired.
In her career, she has to manage the business of the Beggars' Sect and be vigilant against foreign invasions;
In the family, she has to raise children, balance the relationships among family members, and help her husband realize his ideals.
This is not easy for middle-aged women.
You say Huang Rong is not lovable anymore. She is not lovable anymore, but she is more respectable now!"
In the audience.
The students who watched this scene were thoughtful.
The students who did not see this part of the plot remained silent.
Finally, someone couldn't help but ask, "These aren't the reasons why she's targeting Yang Guo, right?"
"Have you forgotten that Huang Rong was from ancient times?"
Professor Wang replied directly: "Yang Guo and Xiao Long Nu are a master and apprentice. The ancients said that a teacher is a father for life. If a master and apprentice relationship is put into practice today, it would be like someone openly saying that he wants to marry his mother. Wouldn't he be drowned in spit? Should the elders allow the younger generation to continue this?"
When these words were spoken, the doubters were stunned.
Many people think about the problem with modern thinking and feel that there is nothing wrong with Yang Guo.
There is indeed no problem with Yang Guo.
But in ancient times, this was the biggest problem, and Guo Jing wanted to slap Yang Guo to death with one palm!
In that era, people's thinking was very old-fashioned.
Even for Huang Rong, it is normal to have this way of thinking.
Professor Wang added:
"What's more, isn't Huang Rong targeting Yang Guo because she's worried that Yang Guo will avenge his father Yang Kang? This is the character she has established since The Legend of the Condor Heroes. She is willing to do anything for Guo Jing. Yang Guo may want to kill Guo Jing, so why can't she target him? Is it because you all put yourself in Yang Guo's shoes after watching The Return of the Condor Heroes that you changed your stance? If the protagonist is still Guo Jing, would you still think there is something wrong with the plot
I see, it’s not Chu Kuang who changed his mind!
It is you readers who have changed your hearts!
Huang Rong is so smart. She was very smart during The Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Return of the Condor Heroes. She was extremely smart, so she could see through Yang Guo's thoughts!
Did she see it wrong
She wasn't seeing things.
Yang Guo did want to kill Guo Jing, and more than once, but he went through countless struggles in his heart and finally gave up.
Huang Rong loves Guo Jing so much, would she bet that Yang Guo will have a change of heart
She didn't kill Yang Guo out of consideration for Guo Jing.
After all, she is still the Rong'er who only loves Brother Jing. It's just that she has reached middle age and has no choice but to be despised by you. But this is exactly what I like most about The Return of the Condor Heroes.
Other novels would not and dare not be written like this!
In Chu Kuang's novels, the growth and helplessness of the characters are all captured in his writing.
From The Legend of the Condor Heroes to The Return of the Condor Heroes, the transformation of Huang Rong is a brilliant piece of writing, but she has been criticized for not meeting readers' expectations.
If Huang Rong didn't want to change, she shouldn't have married Guo Jing.
Because for women of that era, marrying a man meant marrying a life.
I can say this:
The greatest hero created by Chu Kuang is Guo Jing in The Return of the Condor Heroes, not Guo Jing in The Legend of the Condor Heroes!
The number one female hero created by Chu Kuang is Huang Rong in The Return of the Condor Heroes, not Huang Rong in The Legend of the Condor Heroes!
If Guo Jing and Huang Rong want to be worthy of the reputation of the national couple, they need to read the two books together. Without the support of the great heroes who serve the country and the people, it is too early to talk about the national couple. "
In the audience.
The students were completely silent.
This time no one raised any questions!
Everyone was convinced by Professor Wang’s analysis!
It turns out that Huang Rong really hasn't changed.
She just grew up to be a middle-aged woman with a husband, a family and a career, and she has to think carefully about everything.
After all, it is difficult for someone like Guo Jing to manage his life in an orderly manner.
Sudden.
Crash.
Some people in the audience applauded, and some students couldn't help but say with emotion:
"We were wrong. Professor Wang's analysis is very good. Huang Rong in The Condor Heroes is not lovable, but respectable. She is the best wife for Hero Guo!"
"I guess you have a but."
Professor Wang said calmly, "But you can't understand the plot about Xiao Long Nu?"
"yes!"
The audience answered in unison!
Even some readers who had read the entire book showed expressions of indignation.
Let’s keep things separate.
The book is good, but Chu Kuang is still an old thief!
Professor Wang said, "Then let's talk about Xiao Long Nu. However, we have to talk about this together with the story of Yang Guo's broken arm, and we still have to start with Guo Jing and Huang Rong. This has a lot to do with our class, which is about how to achieve self-breakthrough in literary creation. The self-breakthrough demonstrated by Chu Kuang this time is a textbook example for the entire industry!"
The students in the audience were dumbfounded!
Is the humiliation of Xiaolongnu a textbook breakthrough in Chu Kuang's creation
This is outrageous!
This is to let other writers gen'zhe'xue
Another student said jokingly: "It can't be that Guo Jing and Huang Rong caused Xiao Long Nu to be humiliated, right?"
"Oh? Don't mention it."
Professor Wang glanced at the student and said, "In a sense, there is nothing wrong with what you said."
Swish, swish, swish!
The students were confused.
There's no problem with this
————
ps: In fact, the amazing thing about The Return of the Condor Heroes is that no matter how people can no longer accept the plot about Little Dragon Girl, when people mention this book, they still give it a thumbs up and regard it as a classic.
