Chapter 265 Anti-Martial Arts
"Hey, Aduo, is this "Sunflower Treasure Book" written by Liu Xun?" In Zhang Duo's car, Qin Lan sat in the co-pilot's seat and asked curiously. She herself likes to read Zhang Duo's novels. When she saw the story of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", she was also full of doubts. In addition, some students often asked her, so Qin Lan couldn't help asking.
To be honest, Zhang Duo also has a headache about this problem. When he saw Wang Cheng serializing Dragon Travels in the World, he felt a little bad. I'm afraid there will be trouble when "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu" will be serialized in the future. Now, it's really coming.
Now there are different opinions on the origin of the Sunflower Treasure Book on the Internet, and there are many speculations, all of whom call on Zhang Duo to give an answer.
"Sunflower Treasure Book, handed down from Hongwu's three years, contains martial arts and martial arts, which is unpredictable. Among them, the recorded sunflower is moved* and practiced to the depths. It can take things through the air, escape through the wall, observe people's internal organs, and work for thousands of miles. What Dongfang invincible got is just a remnant of the Huashan School, but it can resist the three peerless masters of Linghu Chong, Renwoxing and Xiang Wentian. Do you think it's fierce? Zhang Duo asked with a smile.
Qin Lan was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. "Isn't this too mysterious?"
Zhang Duo smiled and continued to say, "The Sunflower Treasure Book is a book handed down from the Hongwu period, and "Dragon Travels the World" tells about the Chenghua period of Emperor Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty, so Liu Xun is not the former eunuch who wrote the Sunflower Treasure Book. In addition, in the description of the novel, Liu Xun's martial arts are slightly inferior to those invincible in the East. And this book will naturally not be written by him!"
"However, if you write like this, will others think that this "Sunflower Book" is too fantasy and out of the category of martial arts?" Qin Lan frowned and worried for Zhang Duo.
"It's okay. I'm going to point out the strength of the Sunflower Book in the form of legend in the book, but in fact, no one can really practice it. Therefore, it is just a legend to take things from the air, escape through the wall, observe the internal organs of people, and make achievements thousands of miles. Zhang Duo explained.
What he said about the origin and power of the Sunflower Treasure Book comes from the description in the 90th edition of Smiling Proud Jianghu in the previous life. Although it sounds very mysterious, it is very appropriate to integrate with the plot. Zhang Duo thought of this part and brought it over.
Qin Lan listened to Zhang Duo's explanation and just nodded "Oh". She didn't know much about the creation of novels, saying that those were just out of concern for Zhang Duo. Seeing that Zhang Duo had a countermeasure and still looked confident, he stopped saying anything.
In the subsequent serialization, Zhang Duo explained the origin of the Sunflower Treasure Book through the mouth of Ren Waking. Ren Wexing felt that the martial arts in the Sunflower Treasure Book was too fantasy and asked to wave a knife from the palace, so he passed it on to the East. I thought he would find another way and think of another way, but I didn't expect that Dongfang Invincible could really be cruel.
After the serialization of this issue was published, Zhang Duo was also worried, because compared with Mr. Jin Yong's original work, he changed a paragraph after all. I don't know if readers will accept this explanation and think it's too bloody.
In Beijing, in Shengxin Film and Television Company, Wang Cheng laughed after seeing the serialization that day, "What a Zhang Duo, actually made it clear the time of the "Sunflower Treasure Book" during the Hongwu period. It seems that he really wants Liu Xun to practice the "Sunflower Treasure Book"! Interesting, interesting!"
Wang Cheng looked at the newspaper with a playful smile on his face. But there is no intention to make a statement. This kind of thing gives readers a suspense, which is far more meaningful than saying it clearly. In addition, "Dragon Travels the World" has long been serialized, so Zhang Duo can talk about the context of "Sunflower Treasure Book", but Wang Cheng can no longer stand up and say that Liu Xun has practiced "Sunflower Treasure Book"!
In Bincheng, Zhou Yuemin stayed at home. After reading this issue of Songjiang Morning News, he put the newspapers together on the coffee table and sneered: "Take things from the air, go through the wall, watch people's internal organs, and work thousands of miles! Why don't you fly through the clouds, call for wind and rain, draw rivers into land, and scatter beans into soldiers! If everyone writes according to him, won't martial arts novels become immortals? Will even flying swords come out in the future?"
Zhu Guoxing sat on the sofa beside him, put down the tea in his hand and said, "Actually, it's not impossible to write like this. Martial arts novels have been written to the extreme. Especially in front of Zhang Duo and Wang Chengzhuyu. If others don't find another way, it will be difficult to get ahead. Writing immortals and heroes may not be a way out!"
Zhou Yuemin's face darkens when he heard it. Naturally, he knew what Zhu Guoxing's words referred to. If it hadn't been for the gimmick of fictional historical martial arts, his "Xunming Ji" would not have become popular at all. He also knows that there is still a long way to go from Zhang Duo and Wang Cheng in terms of plot development and characterization.
This is also what he is worried about now. Now The Searching Book is about to end its serialization. For the second book, he wrote several beginnings, which were rejected by the Northeast Evening News for various reasons.
Zhou Yuemin is extremely depressed. Today, she came to Zhu Guoxing and wanted to talk to him to see what better ideas to write.
"Xianxia, you can also give it a try. However, Zhang Duo's "Smiling Proud Jianghu" is almost finished. I'm afraid that our new book will collide. Do you think he will also write Xianxia, will he? Zhou Yuemin said worriedly.
"In his description of Sunflower Treasure Book, this martial arts is a little ridiculous. If he turns his pen, maybe he will write Xianxia in the lower part! If you want me to say, why don't we publish some articles in the newspaper to criticize that the martial arts in his novels are too magical? Will he make the kung fu in the book weaker? Zhu Guoxing said.
Zhou Yuemin frowned and shook his eyes twice and said, "I'm afraid it won't have any impact on him. Zhang Duo rarely takes into account the public opinion of the outside world when doing things. We don't know what he thinks. If he really writes about Xianxia, there's nothing we can do!" Zhou Yuemin sighed that he really didn't want to write the same type of novel as Zhang Duo in his heart.
"It's true. We don't know what he thinks in his heart, and we don't know what impact it will have on when he posted comments. But after sending it, I know there will definitely be an impact!" Zhu Guoxing said with a treacherous smile.
"Oh, what's the impact!" Zhou Yuemin said curiously.
Zhu Guoxing smiled obscenely and said, "That's disgusting. As long as he can see our comments, even if there is no reaction, he will probably feel as disgusting as eating a fly!"
Zhou Yuemin stroked his palm and laughed, "That's good. It's good to disgust him!" But what if he doesn't look at it?"
Zhu Guoxing said angrily, "If he doesn't read it, let's play as a writing. I said, how can you look ahead and look after? Do you think too much?"
The two really did what they said. Before the outline of Zhou Yuemin's new book came out, they first wrote a book review called Literary People's ** Chivalrous Dream and published it in the entertainment section of the Northeast Evening News.
"In Zhang Duo's novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu", I really can't agree with the description of "Sunflower Treasure Book". Take things from the air, escape through the wall, observe people's internal organs, and work thousands of miles. Is this still a bridge of martial arts novels? This is about to become a monster novel!
Some people say that martial arts novels are adult fairy tales. It is produced by literati. The so-called ancient literati and chivalrous dream, even if it is a dream, has a limit. Zhang Duo's discussion of Sunflower Treasure Book has obviously gone beyond the scope of martial arts novels. I really hope he can get on a normal track and stop writing these messy things...!"
Zhou Yuemin and others obviously won't believe that an article will cause any pressure or impact on Zhang Duo, but he probably doesn't plan to mix in the circle of martial arts novels anymore. The Beijing Evening News published an anonymous "anti-martial arts" article - "Recognize the so-called kung fu!"
"In people's minds, the legendary folk martial arts masters can really represent the level of Chinese martial arts. However, traditional Chinese martial arts have been continuously processed and created by writers and artists over the years. How much is a myth and how much is reality has always been a very controversial topic.
Do the world's martial arts masters described in literature and film and television works really exist? Are today's professional Sanda athletes or those martial arts people hidden in the people who can represent the highest level of Chinese fighting?
We can easily see the actual combat level of Sanda athletes. But what kind of strength do those so-called martial arts masters hidden in the people have?
If we browse the publicity materials of various Chinese folk schools, we can find the following common characteristics:
1. Generally, they have a glorious and long history. The ancestors of some sects are still famous emperors in ancient times, but they cannot be confirmed in the official history;
2, a legendary story of an invincible master or master like Superman, such as defeating many foreign boxing champions and head of state bodyguards from an unexisted history;
3, all claim to have never met an opponent and never lost;
4. There is a lack of practical video data and authoritative reports;
5. The leaders or experts in real life almost never fight in actual combat;
6. The more masters there are in ancient times, the more stunts there are, the more powerful they are.
And these are exactly contrary to modern common sense. Modern concepts believe that in general, human beings are becoming more and more advanced, not as modern and not as ancient times; only things produced under a professional system can be the best; only when a thing needs continuous competition and communication can its quality be improved and built behind closed doors. On the contrary, if something wants to be believed, evidence must stand the test of questioning.
At the same time, I attach a progressive understanding of Chinese kung fu, hoping that those who are still addicted to the martial arts dream and the Chinese magic dream can wake up early.
The first stage - the all-blind stage. I have no doubt about all kinds of magical skills, believing that masters such as the evil and poisonous southern emperors and northern beggars are not only everywhere in ancient times, but also still exist in the deep mountains and forests today.
The second stage - most of the blind stage. It is believed that the masters like Huang Yaoshi Ouyangfeng and the eighteen palms of the dragon, and the peerless martial arts like the Jiuyin Zhenjing are probably fictional, but the Shaolin monks, martial arts Taoist priests, Taiji masters and other martial arts are still peerless, but they are not willing to take action.
The third stage - the semi-blind stage. I think the current martial arts masters are not true, and most of them are liars. However, Yang Luchan, Huo Yuanjia and Sun Lutang were still peerless masters of martial arts, but their descendants were frustrated and could not learn well. Moreover, many martial arts have been lost because various factions were too conservative or their ancestors felt that they were too powerful to pass on. But today, Brother Long, Jeet Kune Do, special forces, and Zhongnanhai bodyguards are still world-class in martial arts, but they don't do much, and kill the enemy with one or two moves.
The fourth stage - the stage of blindness. The real world's top martial arts masters are all "professional fighters" trained in a scientific, reasonable and rigorous way under the circumstances of professional industrialization. The improvement of combater's skills and abilities can only come from hard training and long-term actual combat! The victory or defeat in the ring is the result of the confrontation of speed, strength, will, technology, physical strength, experience and other comprehensive factors.
Once these two articles are published, it can be said that the world is in an uproar. When Zhang Duo's martial arts novels were serialized in full swing, with nearly one-third of the martial arts fans in the country, some people dared to "anti-martial arts" with such a big fanfare and question the authenticity of Chinese kung fu, which immediately led to a national discussion.
