Gu Long was a talented person, and I once felt that Gu Long was like Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. Li Bai drank wine and wrote poetry, flowing and dashing, leaving behind many classic poems. And Gu Long, the same drinking to write novels, the sky is flying, the genius of heaven, leaving a lot of classic novels.
Among martial arts novelists, Gu Long ranks second only to Jin Yong. In fact, Gu Long's achievements can be higher, but it is a pity that Gu Long is not as focused as Jin Yong, half-hearted, three days of fishing and two days of drying nets. Often novels write a beginning, and then find a ghostwriter to fill the pit. Or that I was sitting precariously, meditating hard, and writing a very good story, and the result was that the end could not be completed, so it became a bad work.
How well conceived and strange the plot of "Famous Sword Flow", the result is that The ancient dragon can't fill the pit and find someone to ghostwrite. "Full Moon Curved Knife" is so imaginative and mysterious that Gu Long wrote less than half of it and found someone to ghostwrite it. There is also "White Jade Tiger", the ancient dragon can be described as painstaking, cleverly conceived, and grandly structured. As a result, after Writing that Zhao Wuji knew about killing his father's enemy, the story compilation stopped abruptly.
This "White Jade Tiger" is called half a classic by gulong fans, and it is regrettable that there is no end. As for why the novel does not have an ending, Gu Long explains it this way. "The story of the White Jade Tiger is written about a person's inner conflict, the conflict between emotion and reason, the conflict between emotion and responsibility, the conflict between emotion and hatred. I always think that when there is an endless change in the storyline, only emotional conflicts can always be exciting. The main thing in this story is Zhao Wujie. Now Zhao Wuji's inner conflict had been broken into a knot, a dead knot. So this story should also come to an end. ”
Gu Long believes that "White Jade Tiger" is about the inner conflict of a character, which is a realistic reality close to reality. If real people encounter such a dilemma, they are also at a loss. Therefore, the male protagonist Zao Wou-Ki, in the face of this dilemma, is also extremely entangled, left and right, and has become a dead knot that is difficult to unravel. Gu Long's explanation, I agree. The story writes that Zhao Wuji worked hard to find the Shangguan Blade that killed his father's enemy in TangMen, and it can already be ended. And the finish at this time is very good, leaving room for imagination. If you continue to write, whether you kill the official blade or not, this story will be boring. After all, watching a novel to enjoy is to enjoy the endless aftertaste. Just like "Dream of the Red Chamber", if you really write it, will you have such an enduring and tasteful reading as it is now?
