Obviously, "Swordsman" has broken Dragon Kingdom's single-month sales record.

This Luoyang's final work on martial arts carries something called feelings, and its sales were out of control. Therefore, Luoyang, who was dubbed "an era", was not very happy.

The media said that the "post-Luoyang era" of martial arts has arrived.

Generally speaking, as long as there is such a term as "post-xx era", it mostly means that future generations cannot surpass their predecessors. However, the industry is surprisingly silent and no one refutes it. Martial arts has indeed entered a new era——

An era without Luoyang.

There are endless comments about "Swordsman" on the Internet.

Chen Duyue, a professor at Tiandu University and Luoyang's former mentor, said: "The song "Swordsman" made me see the changeable posture of politics. The martial arts in Luoyang have always sought change, and in "Swordsman" it seemed It has reached the state of transformation. This does not mean that the creative level of "The Swordsman" has surpassed "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", but that Luoyang has written martial arts to a state where there is no escape. The so-called Jianghu, a pot of muddy wine That’s all.”

Chen Duyue can be said to have gone straight to the core.

He immediately saw the original intention of "The Swordsman" to allude to politics.

As Jin Yong said: "The purpose of writing martial arts novels is to write about human nature, just like most novels. This novel attempts to depict some common phenomena in China's political life for more than three thousand years through some characters in the book. Allusive The novel is not of much significance. The political situation will change soon. Only by depicting human nature can it have longer-term value. Desperate seizure of power is the basic situation of political life in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. This has been the case for the past thousands of years and will continue to be the case for the next few years. I'm afraid it will still be like this in a thousand years. People like Ren Woxing, Dongfang Bubai, Yue Buqun, and Zuo Lengchan were not mainly martial arts masters when I imagined them, but political figures like Lin Pingzhi, Xiang Wentian, and Fang Zheng. Master Chongli, Master Dingxian, Mr. Mo Da, Yu Canghai and others are also political figures. Such various figures exist in every dynasty and probably in other countries. The slogan "Unify the Rivers and Lakes" was written in the book in the 1960s. It is a common phenomenon of human nature to let people become corrupted by holding power. These are not additions or changes after the book was written.

There is evidence for this.

In the previous life, when "The Swordsman" was being serialized, 21 Chinese, Vietnamese and French newspapers in Saigon also serialized this martial arts novel.

During the debate in the South Vietnamese Congress.

Parliamentarians often accuse political opponents of being hypocrites like [Yue Buqun], or people like [Zuo Lengchan] who are trying to establish hegemony, alluding to politics and being used for political purposes. This shows how deeply rooted "Swordsman" is in the hearts of the people.

In addition to experts like Chen Duyue, there are also endless comments from ordinary readers.

"It has been an unforgettable and pleasant month. I started reading it on the subway and finished it on the subway today at noon. Yingchong is really the most ideal couple. They will be a couple forever for eternity. It is very sweet. In the face of power, most people They all had the same reaction. Yue Buqun, Zuo Lengchan, and Ren Woxing all had the same reaction; experts said that what Luo Da wrote about this time was about universal characters, which are common phenomena in political life. Similar scenes can happen anywhere. In any era or group, Linghu Chong’s freedom will always be the state I long for.”

"You can only understand the classics after reading them."

"Compared with the ethereal Yang Guo, the upright Guo Jing, and the playboy Zhang Wuji, I really prefer a free and uninhibited man like Linghu Chong. He is the weakest among the protagonists, but in some aspects he is the strongest."

"Daying Ruochong, do you mean Ren Yingying and Linghu Chong?"

"It feels like the best one among Luoyang's martial arts works. It's a bit of a collection. Because I'm a slow reader, I rarely read a book a second time, but I read this one twice. In addition, I couldn't concentrate for a while. When I read the book, I found that it could calm me down and I was ready to read it for the third time. I loved it so much.”

Obviously, there is no doubt that "The Swordsman" is wonderful.

The only controversial point is that some people are debating whether "The Swordsman" has surpassed "Dragon". Different parties have different opinions on this, and even experts are rarely arguing about this matter.

October.

Luoyang was interviewed by People's Daily.

I don’t know how many times Luoyang has been interviewed by the People’s Daily. I only know that the interviewer Chen Suifeng told Luoyang a personal matter at the beginning: “After this year, I will retire.”

"This year?"

"Yes, it is a kind of fate that you are at the end of your martial arts journey." Chen Suifeng, whose temples were already starting to turn gray, said with a smile.

Luoyang felt pity in his heart.

The two agreed to have a meal together later. They did not talk about martial arts, but just chatted about home affairs. But today's theme was still "The Swordsman". Chen Suifeng asked Luoyang which of his martial arts films he was most satisfied with.

Luoyang laughed.

Chen Suifeng's question seems to be asking about his own feelings, but in fact it is a disguised question, which one is of higher standard, "Dragon" or "The Swordsman"?

Luoyang is also paying attention to the recent debate among Chinese people.

He smiled and said: "If I want to describe it, I would liken martial arts to be a big puzzle. Guo Jing with perfect personality, the fierce Condor Heroes, and gentle and moderate Mr. Zhang are all part of this puzzle. In addition, Li Xunhuan, Chu Liuxiang , Xiao Shiyilang and other eccentric characters are also indispensable in the puzzle. Without anyone, the puzzle will not be so complete. In fact, even so, the puzzle is still incomplete. If someone can Perfecting it will be the martial artist’s luck.”

Is this evading the important and trivializing the important?

Chen Suifeng smiled and said: "Then let's talk about who is stronger between the sweeping monk and Dugu Qiufei?"

Luoyang continued with a smile: "These two characters belong to different works, and there is not much comparison. In fact, everyone only needs to associate these two people with a certain meaning of martial arts. They do not represent themselves, but martial arts." A state of mind is a kind of embodiment of my description of masters.”

Chen Suifeng nodded: "This is pretty much what I guessed."

The content of the interview is quite satisfactory, but as an interview about "Luoyang's last martial arts novel", the significance of this interview exceeds any previous one. I believe that many people will pay attention to this interview.

After the interview, Chen Suifeng asked: "Draft a title?"

I remember that during the first interview, Chen Suifeng invited Luoyang to come up with a title. Now the last time it felt like history was repeating itself. Luoyang smiled. Apparently the previous experiences also flashed through his mind...

"How about a laugh from the sea?"

"A laugh from the sea is a good title."
