Chapter 72 Sharing Experience
On April 17, in the afternoon, the sun was bright and a little burning!
"Saw" has been sent to the editing room, and Li Yihua has won a period of relaxation. It happened that "Martial Arts" magazine invited him to attend a writer's symposium, so Li Yihua was invited to come.
"Ahua, it should be called Director Li now. Welcome to the writers' symposium and share his precious writing experience!" Yang Haoran was waiting for him in front of the door. The recent prosperity of the martial arts world is inseparable from the person in front of him.
When Li Yihua saw his old friend waiting for him, he nodded with a smile: "It should be! Don't laugh at me, after all, this is my mother's home, and my dream sets here."
"We're ready inside, let's go in." Yang Haoran was quite satisfied with this answer, proving that of course he didn't read the wrong person.
Accompanied by Yang Haoran, Li Yihua came to the auditorium of Ming Pao.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a red banner with the words "Welcome to all writers" which was hung in the auditorium. In the lecture hall, the staff were still decorating microphones, seats, and podiums.
Many writers were curiously looking at this genius writer in the auditorium. In order to achieve this discussion, Li Yihua even made some drafts of speeches. Although the manuscript was not carried with him, it was kept in mind. Li Yihua believed that if you either don’t give a speech or want to give a speech, you should help the writers to help them better write excellent works and prosper the cultural market.
After the leader of "Martial Arts", the host began to invite Li Yihua as the first author to give a speech, which shows his importance to Li Yihua.
"I am very grateful to the readers of the food and clothing parents, and thank the screenwriter department for giving me this speech opportunity!" Li Yihua smiled, "This is my first public speech. If the speech is not good, please be extra responsible. Today's speech is just to talk to you about the future prospects for martial arts."
The off-site was already quiet, and dozens of writers all felt that Li Yihua's aura was indeed powerful, and it was no loss for him to be a sensational figure in Hong Kong now.
Li Yihua can survive the meeting in the past few months, and he recalled: "Martial arts novels are a popular novel. The reason why they have so many enthusiasts is that they can temporarily cover up the pain or confusion in reality with illusory emotions or bizarre encounters (because when people read novels, they can't help but think of themselves as the protagonist in the text) and seek a spiritual paradise; however, only a work of high quality can achieve such fascinating effects."
Li Yihua briefly summarized the definition of the novel, thinking that the following speech would pave the way, so that other writers would not feel leaping.
"Using martial arts as the body and heroes as the use is the most basic feature of Chinese martial arts novels. They have always catered to the traditional psychology of our Chinese nation that advocates benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage, and belief in ideal personality. But in its development, it has also been changing. The martial arts novels changed from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by the master of Huanzhu Lou to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by Jin Yong. Now it is time to change again! Some media said that I have changed the inherent martial arts system, but I dare not admit this, because martial arts has been changing all the time, but you just don't feel it, and I just changed it a little bit bigger, that's all."
Dozens of people listen to Tao’s speech. From the beginning, the disdain gradually changed, and more were thinking.
Li Yihua ignored the writer's emotions, picked up the microphone, walked off the stage, and said sadly: "In today's prosperous culture, martial arts is the opposite. Martial arts novels that have lost their aura have become a disadvantaged group in the reading field. When one halo after another, one mythological halo has been created, from the time when thousands of people were scrambling to the present no one cared for. At this moment, there are only four words in my heart; "It hurts faintly". I have asked myself more than once again, why is this happening, why is this happening?"
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the entire auditorium. Yes, why? The writers also thought to themselves. Everyone knew this reality, but they all chose to escape from this problem and were unwilling to accept it.
Li Yihua took a deep breath and said, "Not only once, I heard the writer complain that the market is bad and there are no real readers. But have you ever asked yourself by touching your chest? Is your work qualified? Can it attract readers?"
"In fact, the most essential thing is that most novels are currently in the world, with a large number of fake and inferior works filling the market, and the plot is even more aligned. Every time the hero is full of blood hatred, goes down the mountain to be chivalrous and righteous, but his martial arts are too low, and he is often defeated. Fortunately, my land is in China, with outstanding people, three thousand years of people, ten thousand years of Ganoderma lucidum, and rare birds and beasts. Under the strange adventures and fate, the inner strength has increased greatly! Famous mountains, rivers, border deserts, and strange people hide dragons and tigers, and they have unique wise eyes and are passed down by the robe and bowl. They also have a peerless magical skill. They also give an ancient sword. A master of the world was born from then on. Of course, peerless beauty is indispensable to love each other and promise each other."
"Ah! Reading such novels is just like "chewing wax with the same taste". Over time, I can't help but feel disheartened and lazy, "I'm alone and cry out." In the long run, how can there be a market for martial arts? Even if Mr. Jin returns, it may be difficult to eliminate its decline!"
With Li Yihua's speech, the writers below can be said to have different expressions. From the perspective, his speech actually touched the thoughts of some people.
"So, I suggest you to endure loneliness and raise your level, not just complain about the world. My personal opinion is that first of all, we must change the form and cater to the fast-paced reading methods of modern people; secondly, we must find a different approach in content, break out of the model created by Jin Yong and others, and write in the portrayal of characters in line with human nature."
Li Yihua's heartfelt words have caused a huge response in the minds of all writers. No one expected that he would analyze the current situation of martial arts so thoroughly.
"Brother Li, how did you create "The Ethereal Journey"?" A female writer with a lady's head raised her hand and asked boldly.
Li Yihua didn't mind being disturbed by his speech at all, and replied with a smile, "I was in a very embarrassing situation at that time, that was, I had a meal but had no meal. I just wanted to change the status quo by writing novels. After a year, my manuscript gradually accumulated more than one million words, and I kept revising it, once, twice, three times, ten times. It took more than half a year to renovate and revise it repeatedly, constantly pondering the plot and text! At this time, I finally decided to submit the manuscript, and the manuscript was named "The Journey of Ethereal"..."
Chapter completed!
