First, Wang Shuo looked at Jin Yong. Wang Shuo said that Jin Yong's martial arts novels were dirty, and he thought that kitsch was the majority.
Wang Shuo discussed Jin Yong in "I See Jin Yong", and the language was quite sharp, which was regarded by Jin Yong as the "first fierce attack" on his martial arts novel creation. Different from Li Ao's personal character, Wang Shuo's critical novels don't carry illicit goods. What questions did Wang Shuo raise about Jin Yong's martial arts? At least these points:
First, between the characters, there is a deep hatred for no reason, and they die easily. How can life be so atmospheric? As a result, many plots of Jin Yong's martial arts are untenable and can't stand scrutiny. Being dumped by Duan, she idled around all day looking for opportunities to get revenge. Li Mochou is constantly pursuing the family of an old lover, and so on, too much.
Second, fight as soon as we meet, and no one can kill anyone. Just when they are about to kill, they will fly out alone and make trouble. What can be explained in three or two sentences is not to say. For example, Qiao Feng's manslaughter of Arju was a forced tragedy. Talking to Duan like this, deliberately doing the opposite, talking more than talking less, stuck in the point. Isn't that enough? Qiao Feng's father always knew that he actually watched his son kill innocent people, or his daughter-in-law. Full of loopholes. Unable to complete the game.
Third, the characters are heavily masked, and the language and plot are also largely repeated. The images of Qiao Feng, Duan Yu and Guo Jing are too single. Wang Shuo crustily skin of head, it is not bottom go to. So I wrote "I see Jin Yong".
Fourth, it is still a vendetta. There is no discussion of humanity, no social criticism and no historical thinking. Still fighting and killing the surface. Can not arouse people's interest
Second, Yi Zhongtian saw Jin Yong Yi Zhongtian once said: I am not interested in Jin Yong, but I like Gu Long.
When Jin Yong's martial arts novels were popular with many people and even regarded as "Golden Learning", some scholars, professors and writers finally couldn't sit still. After Wang Shuo's heavy artillery, academic star Yi Zhongtian also joined in.
Different from Wang Shuo's essays, Yi Zhongtian writes articles and comments. In the article, Teacher Yi talked about the following points:
One,? Jin Yong saved the martial arts novels, but not by "learning" or "culture". Those things won't sell for much. In other words, reading Jin Yong's novels is just for fun, and I think too much about everything else.
Second, Yi Zhongtian thought that Jin Yong was not only kitsch, but also charming. "kitsch" is to please the public, and "flattery" is to please the cultural people. Because Jin Yong's book will be dotted with some Buddhist and Zen mechanisms, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which is what Wang Shuo said, "Nonsense must be pulled out." But half-baked, it is easy for the public to have the illusion of cultural taste. A literate person will feel shallow. Yi Zhongtian believes that this is where Jin Yong is insincere. I want to make money by martial arts, and I want to win the name of mainstream culture. Finally, I turned in popular literature. I've always wanted to upgrade, but martial arts is such a vulgar foundation.
Thirdly, it is really inappropriate to call Jin Yong a "master of literature" rashly, but it is more accurate to say "marketing guru". Because Jin Yong's martial arts first saved his Ming Pao, "metallurgists" should study how Jin Yong enlarged the market, occupied enough shares and earned enough money, instead of talking about the literary level and artistic creation of Jin Yong's martial arts.
Because Jin Yong's martial arts doesn't have much new things, it's just a makeover at most. In this respect, Yi Zhongtian thinks Gu Long is better than him. Gu Long never leaves his book bag, and never talks about specious philosophical Zen. Gu long is also very frank, writing martial arts novels is to change wine to drink. On the contrary, there is a different kind of free and easy charm.
Teacher Yi Zhongtian said that when I was tired of writing, I would flip through Gu Long's books.
