Entertainment Godfather

"The fourth invisible protagonist of Tianlong?"

Luoyang knew who Chen Suifeng was referring to without even thinking: "You Tanzhi is indeed a character worth writing about. There are two chapters in the later part of "Dragon" specially reserved for this character."

"Yes, so I think You Tanzhi is the fourth protagonist of Tianlong."

Chen Suifeng seemed to have opened up the conversation, and the interview gradually turned into a chat between him and Luoyang:

"I don't know why, I personally don't like You Tanzhi, but I can't dislike it. I think it's probably because You Tanzhi's view of love is very similar to the longing for love that each of us had when we were young. Don't worry about yourself."

"Concept of Love?"

"Of course it's more than that. You Tanzhi is a wrong person. Unfortunately, he lost his father at an early age and did not receive a good education. He also planted the seeds of hatred. When he was wandering around in the world, he met many unscrupulous people. His outlook on life is not so positive. When he met Azi, he fell into the state of first love. If he could let go a little more, or if he had a friend who was really good to him and comforted him, maybe he would eventually become mature. Just like us. It's a pity that he didn't wait until the moment of maturity, because the people he met didn't really treat him well. "

Luoyang commented: "You are not kind to others."

Chen Suifeng nodded in agreement: "His friend Quan Guanqing, his master Ding Chunqiu, and his goddess Azi, these three people should be the three most important people in You Tanzhi's opinion, but it is a pity that these three people are the most important people from the beginning to the end. He was taking advantage of him and never treated him well. If even one person could kindly remind him, You Tanzhi would not have ended up like this. So I said that You Tanzhi was born in the wrong family and met many mistakes. person, leading to his wrong life.”

"Where are Qiao Feng and Xu Zhu? Don't forget, these two don't have a father to educate them either."

"Of course, but for Qiao Feng and Xu Zhu to establish their outlook on life and values, they are the eminent Shaolin monks, the righteous beggar gang leader, the simple peasant couple, etc. When Qiao Feng was a child, there were times when Qiao Feng was vicious, such as killing with a knife. He had a kind heart because of the people around him who could correct him in time.”

Luoyang couldn't help but smile.

He has always felt that Chen Suifeng is a person who understands martial arts, and today he once again verified his opinion.

Chen Suifeng continued: "Similar to You Tanzhi's attitude towards Ah Zi, Duan Yu was crazy about Wang Yuyan, but in the end Duan Yu came to his senses and realized that his love for Wang Yuyan was just the karma of his inner demon, and then he left Wang Yuyan. Unfortunately, You Tanzhi did not wait until he came to his senses. In the final analysis, the difference between You Tanzhi and Duan Yu was that they fell in love with different women. Even if Wang Yuyan was heartless, she would not use and frame Duan like Ah Zi. Reputation."

Speaking of this, Chen Suifeng suddenly couldn't help but feel ashamed: "Obviously it was me interviewing you, but why did you end up feeling so emotional?"

Luoyang waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. I have plenty of time today. If we have a good chat, we can continue chatting. If we get tired of chatting, I can also ask Editor Chen to try the small stove in our company's canteen. It has a unique flavor."

"That would be disrespectful!"

Chen Suifeng's eyes lit up, it seemed that today's interview would be very exciting.

After a whole morning, the interview was not finished. Luoyang really took friends from the People's Daily to open a small stove in the canteen of Shuimu Culture. The chef was a hired chef, so there was no need to worry about the deliciousness of the food.

After taking a break after eating, the interview continued.

Chen Suifeng asked about things other than the plot: "The chapter names of "Dragon Babu" should have meanings, right?"

Luoyang nodded: "As for the origin of the chapter names of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", there are five specially written poems. These five poems are "Youth Travel", "Su Muzhe", "Broken Formation", and "Dong Xian Song". ” and “The Song of the Water Dragon.”

"As expected."

"In addition, in fact, the original protagonist of this book was only Duan Yu."

Chen Suifeng was stunned: "Duan Yu is the pre-planned protagonist? And Zhang Cuishan in "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword"..."

Chen Suifeng subconsciously thought of Zhang Cuishan. Luoyang said that Tianlong's proposed protagonist was Duan Yu. Does this mean that Zhang Cuishan was actually also the protagonist originally proposed for "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword"?

"The question of Zhang Cuishan is a matter of benevolence and wisdom."

Luoyang did not answer Zhang Cuishan's question, because he had to ask Mr. Jin Yong, but Duan Yu's story was indeed true.

When Mr. Jin Yong was designing the characters for "Tian Long Ba Bu", Duan Yu was the only male protagonist. The novel attempted to use his experience and perspective to describe all kinds of phenomena in the world, and write about the joys and sorrows of the world. Unexpectedly, in Chapter 14, Qiao Fenggang As soon as he appeared on the stage, not only Duan Yu was shocked, but the author was also infected by Qiao Feng's heroic aura. In the later period, the writing became more and more biased towards him, so that Qiao Feng took the leading role in the next few heavyweight scenes.

If "Dragon" has any shortcomings, it's that it's a little loose.

The famous litterateur Mr. Chen Shixiang commented on "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" and said that the book was "bizarre and loose" and "cannot be separated". This statement was obviously to defend it, but he also said that it was loose and one of the reasons for the looseness was First, it probably took too long to write and serialize it. It took nearly four years. It was difficult to break up while thinking, writing, and publishing. At least it was not as complete and rigorous in structure as if it were written in one go.

The second reason is that Jin Yong "resigned" for more than a month during the writing process of this book.

He went to Europe for travel and inspection, and asked his good friend Mr. Ni Kuang, a famous screenwriter of martial arts novels and martial arts movies, to ghostwrite for him. He wrote more than 40,000 words. It is said that Jin Yong asked Mr. Ni Kuang to write an independent story.

An independent story can be inserted in the middle of a book, which already shows its looseness.

According to Mr. Leng Xia's "The Biography of Jin Yong", Ah Zi in the novel was also blinded by Mr. Ni Kuang. Mr. Ni Kuang blinded Ah Zi because he really didn't like her, which surprised Jin Yong. He couldn't laugh or cry, but later he retained this clue and came up with a wonderful way to remedy it. It has to be said that Jin Yong was a great talent.

As for Duan Yu being the first protagonist, there are actually traces to follow.

In the "explanation of the name" retained in "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", in addition to explaining the origin and usage of "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", there is also a sentence, that is, "This novel is named after "The Eight Parts of the Dragon" and is about "The Story of Dali Kingdom in Yunnan during the Northern Song Dynasty", in fact, we know that it is far more than just the story of Dali Kingdom in Yunnan.

So the answer has long been hidden in the book...

After another two hours of communication, the interview was finally over. When leaving, Chen Suifeng held Luoyang's hand and said: "The title of this interview is "The Age of Dragons". From my personal point of view, thank you for your contribution to Wuxia." This is a work that I love very much.”
