Thoughts on the future of martial arts novels please gods!

Everyone has a dream of martial arts. Young urbanites have an instinctive need for martial arts. After the martial arts novels of Jin Yong and others became classics and extinct, Xiao Ding, Xiao Fei, and other post-1970s writers who grew up reading and were y influenced by Jin Yong's and others' martial arts novels began a new path of writing martial arts, one that is fantastically magnificent in its imagery, and one that is relaxed and innocent, as if it were a fairy tale. At the 2006 Spring Book Fair, more than eight hundred publishing organizations from all over the country exhibited their books at the fair. Many publishers have taken all kinds of new martial arts books as the most important recommended books, and it is said that this new martial arts has occupied half of the spring book order meeting. A group of mainland writers as the core of the writers, to the network as a position, initiated a new martial arts writing, people called the new wuxia, new wuxia in 2005, the full rise of the new wuxia, for them, this year will be a very important year, they are the history of the written word of the myth, or a short-lived network of legends, depends on this year. The jianghu is no longer "but flexing the fingers, the west wind a few times, and not the first, the flow of the year secretly stolen." Time passes unknowingly, in the jianghu is not the jianghu of the past. "Jin Yong closed pen Gu Long passed away, Jianghu only heroes will!" This is a few years ago when Sun Xiao's "Hero's Ambition" came out, the advertisement, the momentum as if it can really swallow the mountains and rivers. However, but a few years time, "heroes" that the vicissitudes of the past, drifting away. Those who chase its articles also annihilated in the network of the sea. After the Hero's Journal, the mainland martial arts emerged a group of new talent, which is a group of new generation writers, they take the network as a position, in the martial arts into some new elements, sometimes called the new martial arts. In the new wuxia, with its different writing methods, there are four major schools of thought: the "youthful wuxia" school, the master Xiao Fei, masterpiece is the "Ranger Xiu Xiu"; "fantasy wuxia" school, the master Xiao Ding, masterpiece is the "Immortal Punisher"; "" female wuxia" or "female wuxia" or "female wuxia", or "female wuxia". Female Wuxia" or "Romance Wuxia" school, master Cang Yue, masterpiece is "Blood Violet"; "Classical Wuxia" school, master Feng Ge, masterpiece is "Kunlun". The calm jianghu began to boil, it is said, for these new martial arts novels, Hong Kong and Taiwan warriors, "Wen Rui'an is very supportive; Huang Yi is also very concerned about, he pointed out that this batch of writers' words are very good; Liang Yusheng also for Feng Ge's Kunlun inscription." Only Jin Yong did not comment. However, will these martial arts novels be able to gain a foothold on the mainland? Will they, like Heroic Spirit, go with the wind after singing a song of glory? These, 2006 should see the results. But for the click A netizen named chai talked about "exorcism": "The writing is beautifully graceful and smooth, and the emotions are strong and intoxicating." This is not just a characteristic of "Punishment of the Immortals", many new martial arts give people such a feeling, said Liu Fei, a graduate student at the College of Arts and Letters at Shanda University, "I read "A Thousand Years of Loneliness", and I felt that it was very beautiful, very beautiful. The whole novel, full of melancholy, full of loneliness, and also full of beauty. It's a poignant beauty." Catering to this style of new martial arts novels, most of their illustrations and covers are also drawn in anime cartoon style, always with that image of prancing clouds and floating clothes, always so melancholic and beautiful. Someone said, "This is purely a kind of 'clickbait novel'." The rise of "clickbait novels" is something that happened in the last one or two years. In some websites, writers are free to paste their works and keep updating them, and works with a high click-through rate will be placed in the most prominent position on the webpage and launched grandly, and the author's remuneration will also rise with the rise of the click-through rate. There are many obscure web writers who have become famous in the world through this "click rate" method. Those new martial arts novelists, the main force of those born in the 1980s of the last century, they all have a high degree of education, familiar with the network, and their creations also start from the network, into the network, it is overstated to say that their novels belong to the "click rate novels", but their creations are also subject to the network of this technology. In the network of this ocean of information, to attract the attention of the netizens, not out of the strange language can not; to keep it a long time click rate, not with strange feelings can not. Without these, the novels pasted by the writers will be annihilated. The new martial arts writers, especially advocate imagination, "imagination is always the most important" (Feng Ge's words), they render imagination, up and down the world, omnipotent. In order to enhance the infectiousness, many gorgeous elements are added to the novel to enhance the sense of picture, many characters and plots seem to be like movies and anime, and readers will feel the light and strange. These are not accidental, they are the result of adapting to the technical characteristics of the network. Click rate of the novel naturally no lack of good novels, however, this can produce eternal classics? Inevitably old-fashioned "Immortal Punisher" debut, Sina.com in the home page will "Immortal Punisher" called "after Jin Yong era martial arts bible. Kunlun" downhill, a critic called it "a landmark event in the mainland's new martial arts". For a while, there was a flood of favorable comments inside and outside the network, and many commentaries said that the new wuxia would surpass Jin Yong and Gu Long. And some new martial arts writers do want to innovate and challenge Jinyong to surpass Gu Long. Kunlun" in the introduction of mathematics and ancient science and technology, "martial arts inn 4", from the western region of the Tian Luo religion, destroyed the self-importance, a mass of dead Shaolin, "fan chivalry" in one of the integration of martial arts and romance. These are all considered innovative breakthroughs. But to say that it exceeds Jin Yong Gu Long, it is overstated. A netizen named Rong Ge said about "Kunlun", "nine nine return to the Yuan step, three talents return to the Yuan palm, return to the Tibetan sword method, Zifu Yuanzong, black water martial arts ...... protagonist Liang Xiao is almost no martial arts will not be, no art is not fine, as good as a container, which is not rare in martial arts novels, jin yong on Guo Jing each Yang Guo are is so. There isn't much originality." In many places, the plot of "Kunlun" seems to be a hodgepodge, for example, the main character is desperate and always jumps off a cliff, and after jumping, he always accidentally lands in the center of the cliff or on a tree branch, or even luckily lands in the arms of a beautiful woman. This is all a cliché in martial arts novels, not to say what is so rare. Liang Xiao had suffered several catastrophes and was able to miraculously survive in the end. Not only that, those events that almost jeopardized his life, but instead, they all allowed him to get unexpected upgrades. This is also a familiar martial arts plot. In addition, there are also in the chaotic world, family sadness, strange encounters unlimited, very good luck and so on the plot, in other martial arts novelists writing is also common, it is difficult to say that it is innovative. Not to mention beyond jin yong, gu long. When the dream woke up new martial arts writer Shi Dingruo accepted the media interview, inadvertently said: the West was popular knight novels, and then Cervantes, knight novels basically disappeared, I hope that our martial arts novels will not go down this road. This is true, in the Cervantes era in Europe, knight-errantry fiction frenzy is no less than in China now, its content and China's popular martial arts is much the same as a small, nothing more than someone to learn a good martial arts, to the jianghu walk, after all the trials and tribulations, to help his sweetheart's favor, get her favor, and then **** tie the knot. It wasn't until Cervantes' Don Quixote, a novel, came out that the mania for chivalric fiction dissipated. Lack of modernity has always been an important factor in the criticism of martial arts novels, and new martial arts writers are trying to "make some changes to the spiritual core" (in Feng Ge's words), and incorporate some elements of modernity into them. But in Kunlun, Liang Xiao, at a young age, has three confidantes: Hua Xiaoshang, Liu Yingying, and Ah Xue. And all these women are first to fall in love with him. This kind of thinking is nothing more than interpreting women from the male's point of view, and the female figures in the book accept this fate without exception. Depicting the relationship between men and women in this way, no matter how beautifully the words are utilized, cannot be said to be progress. It has also been said that, economically speaking, the new martial arts, like the old ones, are not about production, and that the warriors are basically clothed and fed, have money when they want to spend it, and have a store when they want to sleep. Although the words now laugh, but reveals a truth, martial arts is essentially detached from reality, as people often say, it is an adult fairy tale, is a dream. Since it is a dream, there should be a time to wake up. Today's new martial arts, really can not go out of the traditional circle of martial arts, if any, but only some flirtation and subversion. Maybe it is really time to end the martial arts novel.
