Chapter 482: The Proud Rivers and Lakes (Part 1)
Since "Dragon and Tiger Fight against Jinghua", Gu Yongsheng has been here all the way to the present. He is a well-deserved master of the martial arts world, regardless of reputation or status, in the eyes of his opponents and friends. His contribution to martial arts novels in this world is immeasurable.
Therefore, when he said "There is still a martial arts novel that will be closed", it is like throwing a nuclear-level bomb in the literary world.
It seems that everyone is used to Gu Yongsheng providing you with a wonderful martial arts story that can be criticized and commented for every once in a while. Whether it is praise or attack, "reading Gu Yongsheng" has become a popular living habit. Even those who have not read any of Gu Yongsheng's works must be familiar with Gu Yongsheng's martial arts.
Because Gu Yongsheng's martial arts TV series has long become a "genre drama" and is ridiculed as one of the "Four Vulgarities".
It is no exaggeration to say that looking at the entire Chinese world, basically no one does not know about Gu Yongsheng’s martial arts, which once again confirms the correctness of the argument that “where there are Chinese people, there is 'Gu Yongsheng’s martial arts'”.
However, this martial arts novel master who is famous in Greater China suddenly made such an announcement, with its powerful shock and huge influence, which was unprecedented. It seemed as if Michael Jordan first announced his retirement that he had shocked the industry and the wide range of the impact was amazing.
You basically don’t need to read it, and you can roughly guess the situation on forums and microblogs. The refresh frequency is no less than that of a super idol star doing web interviews.
"I would rather believe that this is Gu Yongsheng hyping up for "The Deer and the Cauldron", than accept that Gu Yongsheng really didn't write about martial arts."
"If you are tired, it's fine even if you have two years of rest. We are willing to wait, but the pen is closed... don't."
"I have been studying Gu Yongsheng for ten years. It can be said that Gu Yongsheng's martial arts has run through my entire adolescence, as if it were an integral part of my personal history. Although I no longer have the enthusiasm that I used to be, I still habitually scan Gu Yongsheng's latest works in my spare time. It feels like Gu Yongsheng is my old friend. For me personally, I cannot accept Gu Yongsheng's closing writing."
...
The discussion of "The Deer and the Cauldron" has not yet fully formed a phenomenon. The topic of "Gu Yongsheng's closing writing" has expanded virally throughout the entire online world, occupying every corner. As more and more readers tell their stories about their martial arts and martial arts, the topic trend immediately changed to "Gu Yongsheng who we chased together in those years" and "the past of Gu Yongsheng's martial arts and me."
An atmosphere of lyrical and sadness spreads.
"I can't forget that when I was studying abroad, the boy wrote the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to me on WC. Although we were unable to get together in the end, that memory has become one of my most precious memories."
"I still remember the launch of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" on September 5th! Because it was the first novel I bought after I went to college. Later, I gave this novel to a friend in my dormitory, and I don't know if he is still preserved."
"Because there is a 'Jing' in the blogger's name, my girlfriend gave me the nickname 'Brother Jing' after watching "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". She has been calling me until now, and my daughter has gone to kindergarten."
"I am a female reader, and I may be older than Gu Yongsheng himself, but I still want to say thanks to Gu Yongsheng here today because he is a matchmaker to me and my husband.
Don’t think it’s strange. None of us knows Gu Yongsheng himself. The matchmaker I meant his martial arts novel. Because we met because of Gu Yongsheng’s martial arts novels, and I was also moved by his saying, “Gu Yongsheng’s martial arts are divided into two categories, one is taught to be a human being, and the other is taught to make friends.”
"I can't forget the scene of my college bestie lying on the bed crying with her "White Horse Roaring the West Wind". At that time, the boy she had crushed in love had just confirmed her relationship with another girl. It was also from that time that I also became an 'ancient rice'."
"You may not believe it. I once hand-written the whole book "The Return of the Condor Heroes" to the girl I like, and now she is my wife."
"When I was in my senior year of high school, I peeked at "Blue Blood Sword" in my evening study. The novel was confiscated by the teacher and I was returned to me after the college entrance examination."
"We senior high school mathematics teachers can memorize all the chapter titles of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but I still can't guess why."
"Old Bai, I have saved the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" you gave me!"
...
There has never been such a large-scale and large-scale experience on the Internet where netizens collectively recall their youth. Gu Yongsheng's words "Sealing the pen" have exploded countless diving parties. His huge appeal deeply shocked some network analysts and datamen.
However, this is just the beginning. With the addition of the star V-sect, this sentimental "memory activity" rushed to another peak without looking back.
Almost all portals have realized a business opportunity with great potential: contact Gu Yongsheng himself and hold a closing ceremony.
At this time, Gu Yongsheng was sitting next to the office computer in amazement, with all his colleagues standing opposite him.
“It feels like a cyber riot, it’s amazing.”
It seemed that he was intentionally not trying to touch on this topic, so Su Jin only commented lightly.
"I understand." Liu Jingting nodded, suddenly realized that everyone looked at him, hoping to get the truth from him that "this is just a joke."
"Only I am mentally prepared to close the pen by myself, and everyone is not prepared yet."
After hearing this, everyone's hearts sank. It seems that this is really no joke.
"Are you really going to close the pen?" Xu Qing asked.
"Um."
Xu Qing did not respond. Chang Youdao thought for a while and said, "When it comes to the point where martial arts is written in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Deer and the Cauldron", there is really nothing to write later. Alas, I still feel something is wrong and I feel inexplicably sad."
"Isn't there a martial arts tree? Why do we all feel like we have already closed the pen now?" Kang Lingyue said.
"Yes." Green Pepper agreed.
Liu Jingting smiled, and he realized now that in his concept, Mr. Jin Yong's closing writing after "The Deer and the Cauldron" was a common name for him, so he said it casually, thinking that everyone could accept it naturally. Only then did he realize that for readers in this world, the meaning of closing writing of "Gu Yongsheng" is far from that simple. The end of an era.
"Are you going to write a complete villain in the new book?" Xu Qing asked after a moment of silence.
"The title of the new book is in the ninth chapter of "Journey to the West", so I'll keep it a secret today."
Everyone: "..."
...
"Do you want to call and confirm?"
Qianhong Headquarters, editor-in-chief Wei Wuzhiwen, CEO Lu Yichou, industry insiders of his level were shocked by this news, and they were all paying attention to relevant news online all day long.
Lu Yicong shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it when he really announces the closing. If this sentence is just a matter of his new book, we will not be welcome if we are so active inquiries."
"What if it's true?"
"That will be the biggest loss in the history of martial arts novels." Lu Yichou said bluntly.
"Gu Yongsheng's opponent may not think so."
Lu Yicong smiled and shook his head, saying, "If someone thinks that Gu Yongsheng's writing is a great opportunity for other martial arts writers, it's a big mistake. I dare to assert that once Gu Yongsheng takes the writing seriously, the market for martial arts novels will shrink sharply, and this shrinkage is irreversible unless Gu Yongsheng announces his comeback one day."
Wei Wuzhi nodded and agreed to this statement: "It's like I was paying attention to NBA because of Yaoyao, and now I don't have that interest."
"This example is 70% of the time. Gu Yongsheng's position in the martial arts novel world is Jordan's position in the basketball world. Every move is related to the rise and fall of the industry."
Wei Wuzhi nodded and said, "Yes, I remember when Jordan retired and announced his return for the first time, the United States gave him a red alert treatment."
"Your Masao can also afford it."
Wei Wuzhi shrugged, then thought of something and asked, "I just don't know what he will write in the last book. I'm really curious."
...
"I don't know if I should be happy to see him win the martial arts world in my lifetime," Mo Zhiyu, who had faded out of the industry circle for a long time, took a sip of coffee, said to Cui Song lightly, and then shook his head: "It's not something worth celebrating."
Cui Song smiled bitterly: "There are people in the author group cheering that their era is finally coming, and I don't know how to tell them, hey!"
Mo Zhiyu shook his head and smiled, saying, "So I'm in a complicated mood now, but I think based on his previous style of conduct, his last martial arts work will definitely be revealed."
Cui Song nodded thoughtfully. (To be continued...)
