In 2001, Hong Kong TVB filmed a costume-crossing TV series "In Search of Qin", with Zhuang Weijian as the executive producer, and Gu Tianle, Xuan Xuan, Lin Feng, Guo Xianni, Jiang Hua and others starring. As a TVB Taiwanese drama, once the drama was broadcast, it achieved great success, and Gu Tianle also won the Best Actor Award at the Ten Thousand Stars Awards Ceremony for the second time.
Many of us know Huang Yi's novel through this cross-over drama starring Gu Tianle, because it is the childhood memory of a generation, so it is particularly impressive. In fact, Huang Yi is a person, we are not reading his novels, we have no idea what this person is doing.
Huang Yi, formerly known as Huang Zuqiang, a famous martial arts novelist, graduated from the University of Chinese in Hong Kong, and after graduation, served as the assistant director of the art museum for more than ten years. Because he liked martial arts novels, he later lived in seclusion on Lantau Island and concentrated on writing martial arts novels. Different from the martial arts works of Jin Yong, Liang Yusheng, Gu Long and others, Huang Yi's martial arts novels are completely alien. The theme of his novel is the pursuit of the "Heavenly Dao", which closely links worldly happiness with ultimate care through fantasy, creating a new era of martial arts and crossing the originator of fantasy drama.
Huang Yi has written a lot of martial arts novels, such as "In Search of Qin", "Broken Void", "Rain and Clouds", "The Legend of the Double Dragon of the Tang Dynasty", "Dragon Battle in the Wild", etc., involving genres such as fantasy, science fiction, alien heroes, prehistoric civilization, etc. Among Huang Yi's many works, the most well-known is "In Search of Qin", because of the blessing of the TV series, Huang Yi's novel has become his most well-known work. In fact, this novel can only be regarded as a second-rate work strictly speaking, but under the skills of the screenwriter and director, it has become a classic film and television drama.
"In Search of Qin", as can be understood from the title of the book, is a novel about crossing back to the Warring States and looking for the future First Emperor. The special warrior Xiang Shaolong traveled from the 21st century to the end of the Warring States period to find Qin Shi Huang, thus influencing the course of China's history. Friends who have read this novel are very clear, very yellow, Xiang Shaolong has fought a lot of beautiful girls in the novel, which can be described as boundless blessings. Huang Yi's xiao shuangwen is very well conceived, but the imagination is lacking, especially when it comes to key moments and the need to resolve conflicts. Huang Yi will send the male protagonist Xiang Shaolong to drill into the cabinet, climb on the roof, hide under the bed to eavesdrop on the opponent's strategy, in this way to achieve the realm of knowing oneself and knowing the other, which is called the martial arts version of "Eavesdropping", which also reflects the lack of Huang Yi's thinking.
