Chapter 362 Is the Martial Arts Hero Dead or Not? !

[The first part of the Cement Sealed Heart Martial Arts Trilogy, The Legend of the Condor Heroes, will be officially released on April 17! ]

…

When the release date of Lao Zei's new work was confirmed, the whole Xiazhou…

No.

It should be said that the whole Jiuzhou, there are countless Lao Zei fans crazy about it.

From "Harry Potter" to "Sherlock Holmes", Lao Zei's fan group in Jiuzhou is even larger than Lin Qiu's fan group.

"Eastern martial arts! I love Eastern martial arts!"

"Oh my God! It's the type I love!"

"Why don't Xiazhou readers like this type? Martial arts are so cool, I believe Lao Zei can bring a very good work!"

When the type of Lao Zei's new book was leaked, the Lao Zei reader group in the whole Jiuzhou appeared in two completely different states.

Jiuzhou readers were excited, but Xiazhou readers themselves became worried.

The reason why Jiuzhou fans are so excited is that the martial arts genre is very attractive to them. In the past, the Oscar-winning movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was also adapted from a martial arts novel in the Republic of China.

To a certain extent, martial arts may be the genre that has the most audience in Jiuzhou among the local works in Xiazhou.

The reason why Xiazhou's martial arts novels are so accepted is that there is a relatively complete social development and the support of the core culture. This exotic culture is attractive to any different states.

Many movie fans like to watch foreign movies. In essence, it is not worshipping foreigners, but the attraction of exotic customs.

On V Station, you can often see a lot of reaction videos between different states. In essence, it is not for recognition.

Instead, you go to see these Jiuzhou audiences who don't know Xiazhou, and feel attracted when they experience and understand Xiazhou culture.

"Awesome and mysterious."

This is the key.

Just like the Xiazhou audience, who also likes to watch Superman, vampires, and magicians.

Therefore, the readers of Jiuzhou Laozei were naturally excited when they heard that Laozei was going to write martial arts.

They didn't know too many authors in Xiazhou and thought that Laozei was the best author in Xiazhou, so the martial arts novels written by Laozei were naturally the most authentic martial arts novels in Xiazhou.

As for why local readers in Xiazhou have some doubts about Laozei's martial arts novels, it has been mentioned before that this type of novel is a very cold type in Xiazhou today.

Because of the lack of literary masters and the rapid decline in the craze for practicing martial arts among the people, martial arts are now at an awkward level, and the most direct presentation is film and television.

In terms of film and television, martial arts movies that have lost excellent original works have also lost the strong vitality of the last century.

In addition, the lack of young and old martial arts film creators, the gap between the old and the young, and the decreasing market share of martial arts movies year by year have made the investment and creation of martial arts movies far less than before, which directly led to a general decline in the attention of the audience and the industry.

Any industry needs a snowball process to develop.

The only martial arts master in Xiazhou who can be regarded as a master is Yu Xiangyang, Mr. Yu.

Mr. Yu has created more than 20 martial arts novels in his life, nearly half of which have been adapted into films and television, and the quality is good.

As a literary master, Mr. Yu has a very arrogant temperament and has made some arrogant remarks on various occasions.

Originally, everyone thought that when Mr. Yu heard that the new book of Lao Zei would be a martial arts book, he would make some "arrogant rejection" or question the level of Lao Zei's martial arts creation as usual.

But at the new book launch in March, when facing questions from reporters and media, Mr. Yu smiled and answered:

"The arrival of Cement Sealed Heart is a big change for the entire martial arts novel."

"This is not only because the popularity of Cement Sealed Heart has brought more attention and vitality to martial arts, but more because of the level and innovation of this author, which is rare even in the whole Kyushu."

"I admire his previous works very much. When his book is released, I will read it as soon as possible and publish my review."

After that, it was Mr. Yu's assistant who said:

"Please ask questions about the new book as much as possible."

...

Arrogance does not mean looking down on everyone, but looking down on people who have no level and are not recognized.

When Mr. Yu was asked about some of the previously praised martial arts works, or similar martial arts online works, he directly answered with one word: "History."

As for the literary level of Lao Zei, who among the professional authors does not recognize it?

Even if he may not be able to write amazing martial arts works, he is still an author worthy of Mr. Yu's respect. Moreover, Mr. Yu believes that martial arts novels today, including his own novels, have been shackled to a large extent.

This is why Mr. Yu published a new book again after six years.

There are too few authors like Lao Zei who have profound attainments in fantasy, reasoning, and even fairy tales and realistic novels.

And just like when Lao Zei's "Sherlock Holmes" came out, the entire suspense and reasoning world was shaken.

The innovation and inspiration brought by this work to the vast number of suspense and reasoning novels made Mr. Yu a little envious at the time.

To use an inappropriate analogy, an old thief is like an emperor choosing his concubine to be his palace tonight. Whatever genre the new book is, that genre will suddenly gain the attention of countless readers. For the martial arts genre that was originally lifeless and on the verge of death, It's an absolutely good thing.

Mr. Yu himself also wanted to see what the old thief's martial arts was like.

Even if he failed, Mr. Yu still felt that it was normal. Martial arts novels are really not that easy to write.

…

Since April, a lot of fans have been calling for it!

The media attention in major Kyushu areas also directly attracted full attention.

How could another series of works following the "Harry Potter" series and the "Sherlock Holmes" series not attract attention?

The degree of discussion on the Internet has always been high, but regardless of the genre or the doubts, buy the old thief's work first!

"I hope it won't be an outdated work..."

"To be honest, the name "Legend of the Condor Heroes" sounds a bit outdated..."

"I don't like martial arts very much. This time, I will support the old thief's martial arts in whatever he says. Get up early tomorrow!"

"Woohoo! I have another book to read!!"

"Are martial arts dead or not? I'm afraid this series of the old thief will give us the answer. If the old thief can't save the martial arts, then I'm afraid no one in the martial arts novels can save him."

"Then this is not so absolute. There are still many outstanding writers of martial arts."

…

Because of the old thief's past reputation and the quality of his works, coupled with the extremely high popularity of the completion of "Demon Slayer", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" reached unprecedented popularity on the eve of its release.

Book fans are surprisingly enthusiastic about buying this type of book. After all, most Xiazhou readers are willing to pay for it, and Kyushu readers are even more excited.

In the blink of an eye, it’s April 17th.

The much-anticipated new work of the old thief, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has launched global sales in Kyushu!

Whether the martial arts is dead or not, this book will give the answer!
