Chapter 84

"Recently, I read a few of the martial arts novels by your esteemed writer, Gu Yongsheng, and found them very enjoyable. I am seized with the enthusiasm of a book fan and wish to meet him to resolve some of my confusions and share some of my insights. I hope your company can convey this message to him. Wishing your company continued success."

Lu Yichou read the short letter with great interest and then left a message for Wei Wuzhi: "A university professor has written to see Gu Shao. I wonder if it's to recruit him as a student or to invite him for a lecture."

Not long after, Wei Wuzhi replied: "Given his personality, he probably won't go."

"It would be a good thing. If Xiao Gu is willing to cooperate, we can take the opportunity to tap into the college student market. Hey."

"He's still a high school student, right? By the way, he has the college entrance exam coming up. We can mention it, but it's best not to give any biased advice. I always feel that this kid has a maturity that doesn't match his age, and he's different from Han Shuo."

"Without doing so, we can't make the professor 'chat with the enthusiasm of a book fan.'"

"Speaking of which, I just finished reading a post summarizing the romantic relationships in 'White Horse.' It came up with a list of unrequited love."

"Still, once the story discussion reaches a certain level, no more publicity is needed. An author who can spark the so-called 'White Horse phenomenon' with just a few words is highly sought after."

...

The post Wei Wuzhi mentioned was posted by "Tian Dao You Chang," titled "Universal Unrequited Love." Tian Dao You Chang's ID had already reached the platinum VIP level on the Douya forum, so his post quickly gained popularity and was soon featured on the homepage.

Although the title of Tian Dao You Chang's post was striking, the content maintained its usual high quality, making it a perfect combination of an eye-catching title and substantial content.

The post began similarly to Luotou's review, summarizing the intricate emotional entanglements in the story, and then concluded: "This book paints a picture of universal unrequited love."

The discussion on the emotional aspects ended abruptly, and then Tian Dao You Chang began comparing "White Horse Cries in the West Wind" with "The White-Haired Girl's Legend."

"The author still starts the story with the character 'white,' which is quite thought-provoking. Is this perhaps a formal response or even a counterattack to the public's opinions on 'The White-Haired Girl's Legend'?"

"Whether it is or not, it's a good thing. At least the author has given us another great story, and we have a new topic to discuss."

"Although the author has fully kept his promise this time and written a novel that makes everyone speechless, it doesn't change my evaluation of 'The White-Haired Girl's Legend.' In fact, to some extent, the author's creation of 'White Horse' has been influenced by the public's suggestions. The love stories in 'The White-Haired Girl's Legend' are touching, but they are still conceptual and formulaic. Ultimately, the narrative hasn't escaped certain old constraints."

"For example, when we talk about the story of Hong Fu and Li Jing: 'Hong Fu saw Li Jing and ran away with him.' This simple sentence is very evocative, but reading such text doesn't evoke a particularly moving feeling. The kind of text that touches the heart is like the confessions, dialogues, and stubbornness in 'White Horse.' That issue..."

"The lesson is that after having a story, you need the right words to carry it. In other words, we can't simply tell someone that a beautiful woman fell in love with a nobleman, and later, because of the nobleman's cowardice, they couldn't be together, and the woman's hair turned white overnight. If written this way, no one would read it. The text in 'The White-Haired Girl's Legend' is a thousand times better than my example, but 'White Horse' is a thousand and one times better. That extra one is precisely the key that touches the heart."

...

The core of Tian Dao You Chang's post was still focused on the textual expression of the two novels. Noticing this issue was also the famous scholar Professor Chen Shiren, who had written a short letter to Qianhong, inviting Liu Jingting to meet.

Previously, he frequently mentioned Gu Yongsheng's novels in class, but not all his students liked martial arts, so he never treated Gu Yongsheng's novels as a formal example or text.

Until today.

"I'm not forcing you to engage with this type of text. Now, put aside all prejudices, treat these as pure texts, and analyze them, then give your conclusions."

Professor Chen displayed excerpts from "White Horse Cries in the West Wind" and "The White-Haired Girl's Legend" on the multimedia screen and asked the students to compare and analyze them, evaluating their strengths and weaknesses.

[Li Wenxiu sighed, took the rope from Aman's neck, and said, "Su Pu likes you, I... I won't make him sad. You belong to Su Pu!" Saying this, she gently pushed Aman, making her lean into Su Pu's arms... Li Wenxiu thought, "No matter how many treasures are in the Gaochang maze, they can't make my days happy." ... All of that was very good, very good, but I just don't like it...]

[... This is the dialogue between Yu Luocha and Zhuo Yihang when they confess their true feelings in Mingyue Gorge. Now, what was once a jest has come true! The clouds changed, and "Zhuo Yihang" disappeared again. Yu Luocha smiled bitterly and said, "There is no magic potion in the world. I will never see you again in this life."...]

Professor Chen looked at the words on the screen for a while, then turned to the students and asked, "What do you think?"

One of the graduate students who had always shown interest in Gu Yongsheng's novels said, "The language in 'White Horse Cries in the West Wind' is closer to spoken language, but it's a refined version, more in line with our current reading tastes. 'The White-Haired Girl's Legend' still retains classical Chinese sentence structures, which, for us students, immediately brings to mind exams, reading comprehension, and memorizing texts, creating a sense of resistance, so it feels distant."

"Not entirely," another student added, "The semi-classical, semi-modern style, though it feels awkward to read, also makes it feel particularly credible. An important standard for a writer is to be convincing, and classical Chinese has this advantage."

Professor Chen listened to the discussion with a smile, not interrupting or favoring any side. Occasionally, he nodded, and the other students, seeing this, couldn't help but join in, even though they usually dismissed martial arts. To show their unique insights and views, they had to carefully read the text on the screen and offer some high-level comments.

At this moment, Professor Chen suddenly said, "If I invite Gu Yongsheng to give a lecture, do you think it's appropriate?"

The discussion immediately stopped. Then, everyone, including those who had read Gu Yongsheng's novels, unanimously opposed the idea.

"Although martial arts novels are a part of literature, they are still entertainment. They can't be compared to mainstream literature, and it's inappropriate to invite such an author to give a lecture at school. This would be a laughingstock."

"Martial arts novels are like soap operas or commercial films, and martial arts novelists are similar to film and television stars. Although they have a large audience, they can't reach the level of being accepted in academia."

"Regardless of the author's intentions, such works have a tendency to cater to the masses, telling stories that readers like. In ancient times, traveling storytellers did similar work, but they could never enter private schools to teach students."

...

Although the students didn't say it outright, Professor Chen could clearly sense that they still didn't consider martial arts as true literature. This kind of mindset is hard to change. Unless one day Gu Yongsheng writes a work that appeals to both the refined and the masses and causes a sensation, this mindset will never disappear. The students' words reflected the views of most people.

"Let's put this aside for now," Professor Chen said, seeing the students' passionate reactions, and smiled, abandoning his previous suggestion. "Your views on martial arts authors still surprise me. They are different from artists; they are more low-key and silent."

The students countered, "In essence, they are all for entertaining the masses."

Professor Chen couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "I always teach my students to think independently and to have the attitude of 'I love my teacher, but I love truth more.' They have learned this, but they haven't learned to broaden their horizons and be inclusive."

However, from a certain perspective, this was understandable. His students had become graduate students through a series of exams, and what they had seen and learned were all structured knowledge points. Their concepts of right and wrong were too strong, and it was indeed difficult to suddenly accept martial arts novels. It had to be a gradual process.

...

When Professor Chen Shiren's students refused Liu Jingting's invitation to give a lecture, Lu Yichou relayed the content of Professor Chen's message to Gu Yongsheng and敏锐地提醒道：“陈教授的教学风格一向以自由自主著称，所以他有可能让你给他的学生们做演讲，你要做好心理准备。”

柳敬亭哈哈一笑，道：“让我一个高中生去给研究生讲课，他们不用臭鞋扔我才怪，我会亲自给陈教授回信，演讲云云就算了，现在时机还不成熟。”

“噢？你的意思是将来时机成熟，你会做演讲？”

柳敬亭沉思片刻，道：“讲不定，将来某一天，我也许会做个全国巡回演讲，告诉所有人一些有趣的事情，跟他们讲一些厉害的人的故事。”

陆艺筹自然欢迎这种事情，笑道：“现在还是以写书学习为主。”

“是这样，没有作品就没有底气，就没有观众。”

“你算是把住了所有演讲的脉，其实你看所有成功的演讲都是来自成功人士，实际上，一个成功人士站在讲台上，什么都不说，就足以说明一切。”

两个人又聊了一会，便挂了电话，柳敬亭把手机放到桌子上，倒滑到床上，靠着床头，安静地思考着什么。

《白马啸西风》的出世，效果不错，但是如同所有事件一样，经历繁华，必将谢幕，推书大计，仍要继续，下一本到谁呢？

想了半天，忽然想到那天跟王芊芊的对话，身子一欠，拿着桌子上圆珠笔，摊开笔记本，写了两个书名：《鸳鸯刀》、《萧十一郎》。

既然大家都说最近悲剧太多，那就把《鸳鸯刀》献给大家，以为调和，至于《萧十一郎》，柳敬亭微微一笑，自言自语道：“岂非一箭双雕？”(未完待续请搜索飄天文學，小说更好更新更快!)
