"The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" is the third part of the "The Condor" trilogy. The male protagonists of these three books have completely different personalities. Guo Jing and Yang Guo are affectionate and wild, but Zhang Wuji's personality is more complex and weak. He is less heroic. Although he has many advantages and disadvantages in his personality, he is perhaps more similar to most ordinary people.
Yang Guo was absolutely proactive. Guo Jing was very firm in controlling major issues, and Huang Rong was needed to push for small things. Zhang Wuji's life was always influenced by others, dominated by the environment, and unable to escape from the constraints.
In terms of love, Yang Guo was obsessed with Xiao Longnu until death and regarded social rules as nothing; Guo Jing wavered between Huang Rong and Princess Huazheng purely out of moral values and never hesitated in love. Zhang Wuji has always been procrastinating. Regarding the four girls Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Min, Yin Li, and Xiao Zhao, it seems that he loves Zhao Min the most, and finally said the same to Zhou Zhiruo, but deep down in his heart, which girl does he love more? some more? I'm afraid he doesn't know it himself.
Emotions are complex things. Even if they are clear in your heart, they are difficult to describe. Even if you say them out, they may not be the true feelings in your heart. You may even have deceived yourself without even knowing it.
We obviously made a choice at some point, and it seemed to be the most correct choice, but as things change, it may be a different story. Maybe after you have been married for many years, you suddenly remember that the person who once pursued you or the person you pursued actually has another weight in your heart.
Just like in "Eternal Dragon Sword", Zhang Wuji seems to have made his own choice, and readers also seem to think that he loves Zhao Min the most. But many years later, who knows whether Zhang Wuji will miss Zhou Zhiruo? Or maybe you want to go to Persia to see Xiao Zhao?
Everything in the past is a prologue. There is a prologue, there is a destiny, and it also makes the future unpredictable.
Regarding the four girls Zhou Zhiruo, Zhao Min, Yin Li, and Xiao Zhao, Mr. Jin said that Xiao Zhao was his favorite. Although Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min are beautiful, they are scheming and not cute. Only Xiao Zhao is the purest to Zhang Wuji. It's a pity that she can't be with Zhang Wuji, and she often feels a little melancholy when she thinks about it.
But Wang Xuan had different opinions. If Wang Xuan had to choose one of the four girls to be Zhang Wuji's partner, Wang Xuan would still choose Zhao Min. It is undeniable that Zhao Min is a bit scheming, but he is pure towards Zhang Wuji.
Zhang Wuji loved the country even more than the beauty, so he gave up the country he had at his fingertips for Zhao Min. But why didn't Zhao Min give up the country for Zhang Wuji? Regarding Zhao Min's political talents and methods shown in the book, if she had not been obsessed with Zhang Wuji and was busy with the cause of unification, ten Zhang Wuji would not be Zhao Min's opponent. The Mingjiao will only be manipulated by her, so how can there be a prairie fire in the future?
Therefore, there is no doubt that Zhao Min loves Zhang Wuji. Zhou Zhiruo also thought about becoming a queen, but Zhao Min just wanted to retreat to the mountains and forests with Zhang Wuji and become a couple of gods. So let Wang Xuan make the choice, he will still choose Zhao Min. After he shoots "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword", Zhao Min and Zhang Wuji will definitely be together in the end, and there will be no other ending.
In addition to the controversy caused by the heroine, Zhang Wuji's choice at the end of the book also triggered heated discussions among book friends.
Some people say that Zhang Wuji is too selfish. His argument is as follows: "Zhang Wuji's life experience is full of ups and downs, ups and downs, which makes people fascinated and happy. Zhang Wuji's life experience is very unfortunate. He lost himself early. His biological parents, but he is very lucky because he learned the Nine Yang Magic and the Great Shift of the Universe.
Zhang Wuji, who was in his early twenties, had developed unrivaled magical skills. In the battle at Guangmingding, Zhang Wuji shocked the six major sects and saved the Mingjiao at a time of life and death, thus becoming the youngest leader of the Mingjiao in history.
Under the leadership of Zhang Wuji, the originally disintegrated Mingjiao was reunited. Yin Tianzheng also returned to the Mingjiao with his Tianying Sect, and the entire sect showed a flourishing trend. More importantly, the anti-Yuan rebels gathered by the Mingjiao achieved great results. They were invincible and invincible in all major uprising wars and were about to seize the Yuan Dynasty.
The situation in the world is so clear that many Zhang Wuji's supporters feel inexplicably excited, because they know that once the Mingjiao Army conquers the country, then as the leader of the Mingjiao Army, Zhang Wuji, the nominal supreme leader of the Mingjiao Army, will have the best chance. When he becomes the emperor, Mingjiao will surely create an unprecedented glorious scene. However, Zhang Wuji finally chose to resign as the leader, and retired to the world early with Zhao Min, no longer paying attention to world affairs.
For Zhao Min, Zhang Wuji abandoned Mingjiao and gave up his country. Is this really a manly act?
After Zhang Wuji left office, the old and virtuous Yang Xiao became the leader. From then on, the Mingjiao gradually declined, and finally collapsed, and could no longer prevent Zhu Yuanzhang's family from becoming dominant. After Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, he ordered the Ming Cult to be strictly prohibited and all the brothers who had made great contributions to the religion were killed. Chang Yuchun died early due to illness, and Xu Da was finally unavoidable.
Look, although this is Zhang Wuji's own choice, it is really irresponsible for Zhang Wuji to resign as leader so easily. He can protect himself with his unparalleled martial arts, but for those who support him, it is tantamount to Suffered a catastrophic disaster. So Zhang Wuji is too selfish. "
In addition, many readers complained that Zhang Wuji was stupid and did not even want to be the emperor, giving up the world at his fingertips.
In this regard, Wang Xuan just smiled and said nothing.
These readers who complain that Zhang Wuji doesn't even want to be emperor probably have never considered whether Zhang Wuji is suitable to be emperor or whether he can become emperor.
Mr. Jin explained the relationship between the Mingjiao and the rebels in the newly revised version of "Eternal Heaven and Sword of the Dragon".
In the final chapter, Yang Xiao said this: "Regardless of the military transformation and battle formation, the Mingjiao will be bright and clean!"
He briefly explained: "The Mingjiao army was revolting in various places, killing officials and rebelling, which made Meng Yuan at a loss. The battle formations were successful and failed. They neither reported to the general altar, nor the general altar could control them. The red scarf of Yingtian Mansion The army has always done its own thing and is very powerful. The general altar cannot kill their leader, nor can it restrain them according to the rules of the Ming Cult. They can only let it happen naturally. But they must not be allowed to compete for the position of leader and command the Ming Cult. .”
To put it bluntly, the rebels under the Mingjiao are actually only nominally under the command of the Mingjiao. In fact, they do not interfere with each other and work on their own. The development of the rebel army is entirely the responsibility of the leader of the rebel army. The Ming Cult's main altar has nothing to do with it, as long as he does not come to the main altar to compete for the position of leader.
To put it more bluntly, the world conquered by the rebels actually has little to do with the Mingjiao General Forum. Even if Zhang Wuji wanted to be emperor, he might not be able to do so.
Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, nominal jurisdiction is also jurisdiction. Who let the rebels use the banner of Mingjiao? The world was conquered under the banner of Mingjiao. As the leader of Mingjiao, Zhang Wuji had a natural advantage to compete for the throne.
Moreover, Zhang Wuji's martial arts is so high that it is no problem to kill someone among ten thousand people. If he wanted to compete for the throne, he would just kill the strong contender Zhu Yuanzhang. Who else could compete with him?
Therefore, it actually makes sense to say that Zhang Wuji gave up the power he had at his fingertips for Zhao Min.
But whether Zhang Wuji is suitable to be emperor is another obvious question.
The so-called character determines everything. A person like Zhang Wuji, no matter how high his martial arts skills are, will never be a great political leader. Of course, he didn't want to do it at all, and even if he did it reluctantly, he would definitely fail in the end.
China's three thousand years of political history has clearly laid out its conclusion. The first condition for a successful political leader is "tolerance", which includes restraining one's own tolerance, being tolerant of others, and being cruel to political opponents.
The second condition is "bright decision-making".
The third condition is a strong desire for power.
Zhang Wuji did not meet even half of these three conditions.
So it was destined that he would never become emperor. If he becomes the emperor, he will definitely be a weak emperor, incompetent and incapable of governing. Within a few years, the country will surely fall into a state of separatism and fall apart.
In another time and space, Mr. Jin used a postscript to explain these things, but Wang Xuan did not publish a postscript in this time and space, but left it to the readers to discuss and comment.
There is no need for Wang Xuan to publish a postscript. When Mr. Jin wrote "Yitian", it was in the 1960s and 1970s, and it could only be serialized in newspapers. But when Wang Xuan published "Yitian", it was already the new century, and information was developed. With the development of the Internet, countless scholars are still reading Wang Xuan's works after "The Eight Parts of the Dragon".
After finishing "Yi Tian", I saw that book friends were discussing it enthusiastically, and those scholars were also very enthusiastic about participating. It only took seven or eight days to interpret "Yitian" clearly and analyze Zhang Wuji's character clearly. .
"Yi Tian" is officially finished. Counting "Dragon", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Wang Xuan has accumulated 4 popular martial arts movies, each of which has countless fans. After fermentation and precipitation over time, it is time to develop the film and television rights for these films.
However, Wang Xuan had a little difficulty whether to shoot "Dragon" or "The Condor" series first. Considering that "Dragon" is not only the pinnacle of martial arts, but also a TV series, it can be called the pinnacle of martial arts TV dramas. If "Dragon" is filmed first and then the "Condor" trilogy is filmed, there may be Affect the audience's viewing experience.
Wang Xuan is worried that after watching "Dragon", the audience will think "The Condor" series is not good-looking, or subconsciously feel that "The Condor" series is not so good-looking.
This thing is afraid of comparison.
To be honest, "Celestial Dragon" is better than the "Condor" series in many aspects. The martial arts in "Celestial Dragon" alone is much better than that of the "Condor" series.
In terms of Qinggong, "Tianlong" has Lingbo Weibu, while "Shooting the Condor" is just like floating on water. As for the Green Winged Bat King, it relies on internal strength. Although the body technique is good, it is also inferior to the vehicle.
In terms of skill, Tong Lao's internal strength and Xu Zhu's internal strength can last for decades, but in the Shooting Condor, there are only a few. The second is the variety of martial arts. There are too many martial arts in "Tianlong", such as small phaseless skills, dragon catching skills, dog-beating stick skills, star shifting, transforming skills, six-meridian divine sword, one-yang finger, and eighteen subduing dragons. Palm, Yi Jin Jing, Shaolin Seventy-Two Special Skills...
What about the "Shooting the Condor" series? If the single part is compared with "Dragon", it will be crushed into scum by "Dragon". How can the trilogy be comparable to "Dragon"?
The martial arts levels in "Dragon" are generally better than those in the "The Condor" series. For example, Yiyang Zhi is already a stunt level in "The Condor", but in "Dragon" it is just a family martial art, and the Six Meridians Divine Sword is Unique knowledge.
In "Celestial Dragon", the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are complete, but in "Shooting the Condor" they are incomplete. Although the "The Condor" series has the invincible Zhang Sanfeng, isn't there also an invincible sweeping monk in "Dragon"?
Although Zhang Sanfeng was invincible and had some immortal spirit, couldn't he still just watch Zhang Cuishan and his wife die in front of him, helpless with Zhang Wuji's Xuanming Divine Palm?
But in "Dragon", the sweeping monk beat Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo to death and then revived them. Such a method of life and death is more powerful than Zhang Sanfeng no matter how you look at it.
Although I don’t know if they were really beaten to death, at least Xiao Feng and Murong Fu thought that Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo were dead after checking, so they fought against the sweeping monk. Xiao Feng even slapped the sweeping monk to surrender. Eighteen Palms of the Dragon.
This palm was issued by Xiao Feng in anger. It was so fierce and invincible that who would dare to take it head-on? But the sweeping monk took the blow forcefully, instead of hiding, he chose to resist forcefully, and only had two ribs broken.
The Sweeping Monk also commented on this: "The Eighteen Palms of the Dragon are indeed invincible." But it feels more like a humble statement. No matter how you look at it, I still feel that the Sweeping Monk is better than Xiao Feng.
Of course, if you really have to fight hard, the outcome is hard to predict.
Xiao Feng is a person who can't be treated with common sense when he is strong. In addition, Xiao Feng is much younger than the Sweeping Monk, and youth is his capital. Therefore, Xiao Feng is really going to have a life-or-death duel with the Sweeping Monk, and the outcome is hard to predict.
This is also a mystery that can never be solved in the minds of countless "Dragon Part 1" fans. After watching "Dragon Part 1", the question of which one is stronger between Xiao Feng and the sweeping monk has been controversial online. It is almost divided into Two factions.
Based on the above considerations, Wang Xuan finally decided to film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" first. The meal should be eaten one bite at a time. If you eat a lot at once and eat until you are full, you may taste like wax later.
After deciding to film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Wang Xuan went to Tianhai's internal special effects studio. This was Wang Xuan's first inspection of Tianhai's special effects office since Zhou Hong and others joined Tianhai.
Wang Xuan decided to shoot the 1983 version of "The Condor". Due to the technical conditions at the time, this version of "The Condor" had almost no special effects, but it has still become a classic in the hearts of countless people.
But just because there are no special effects, doesn’t mean there can’t be special effects. If this version of "The Condor" adds some special effects, such as martial arts special effects, it will definitely be better than the original version in terms of viewing.
Why Wang Xuan went to inspect the special effects office is also based on this. Li Tao boasted about the special effects skills of the newly joined guys, but Wang Xuan wanted to test it himself.
