Thirty years later, I understand, where is the gap between Gu Long and Jin Yong?

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-22

As an author who shares martial arts on the Internet, the author found that many martial arts lovers are almost sharing Jin Yong's martial arts.

Analyze Jin Yong's 15 martial arts** from all angles, and there are relatively few people who interpret Gu Long**, which is simply a handful.

To a large extent, this phenomenon also shows that Mr. Jin Yong's ** audience is wide and influential. As for Gulong's **, it cannot be compared with Jin Yong in terms of audience, so its influence is not as good as Jin Yong's.

For Jin Yong and Gu Long's **, the author has read them. Honestly, each has its own merits. When I was a teenager, I was confused. Why does Gu Long's ** not lose to Jin Yong, but why is his achievement not as good as Jin Yong?

Thirty years later, I understand, where is the gap between Gu Long and Jin Yong?

1. Jin Yong lived a long life, and Gu Long's early death became a huge regret.

Jin Yong lived 94 years old, while Mr. Gu Long lived 47 years old. That is to say, Mr. Gu Long's lifespan is only half of that of Mr. Jin Yong, and he lives 47 years less than Jin Yong.

Mr. Jin Yong closed his pen as early as 1972 after writing "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and since he began to write "Book of Swords and Enmity" in 1955, he has been writing martial arts for 17 years, and has created 15 martial arts.

As for Gu Long, he debuted later than Jin Yong, and only debuted in 1960. From 1960 to his death in 1985, Gu Long has been creating martial arts** for 25 years.

When Gu Long was alive, the creation time of martial arts had surpassed Jin Yong. And during his illness, he still did not stop creating martial arts.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, and Gu Long died prematurely. Otherwise, with Gu Long's talent, more classic martial arts will be created. Over time, Gu Long's martial arts achievements have the potential to surpass Jin Yong.

It's a pity that this can only be an assumption, because Gu Long died too early, leaving too many regrets and causing immeasurable losses.

If Gu Long is still alive, even if he rarely creates martial arts **, then his influence will be greater than when he dies.

2. Jin Yong's ** quality is high, and Gu Long's ** overall level is not as good as Jin Yong.

Don't look at Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts, there are not many **, so he wrote 15 films. But these 15 ** are familiar to everyone and are talked about by many readers.

Flying snow shoots white deer in the sky, the laughing book god leans on the blue duck, plus the short story "Yue Nu Sword", just 15 martial arts**. Almost all of them are high-quality products, not to mention the Condor Trilogy, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "Dragon Babu" and so on.

It can be said that since Jin Yong began to create the first martial arts ** "Book of Swords and Enmity", Jin Yong's level has been very high, and his ability to tell stories and shape characters is very outstanding, and the more he writes, the better he is, and the more he writes, the more he writes, the more he is perfect.

And Gu Long's ** is not as good as Jin Yong in terms of overall quality, Gu Long's early works, few martial arts fans like it, even if it is Gu Long martial arts fans.

Gu Long's most interesting works are still in the middle, peak and late periods, especially the works of the peak period, which have the widest audience and are the most talked about.

When it comes to Gu Long's "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword", "Chu Liuxiang" series, and "Lu Xiaofeng" series, everyone knows it. But if you want to mention Gu Long's "Sky Sword", "Remnant Gold and Jade", "Ranger Record", etc.**, it is estimated that there are very few people who have seen it.

3. Jin Yong's ** story is highly complete, and Gu Long's ** jump is strong.

Jin Yong's ** has a strong ability to tell stories. Reading his **, I felt very flat at the beginning, but as the characters appeared one after another, it began to enter the point of being fascinating.

For example, for example, in the ** of "Dragon Babu", when the first protagonist Duan Yu first appeared, he was just a nerd who didn't even know a little martial arts.

It seems that the storyline is a little boring, but since he fell into the "Lang Huan Blessed Land" of Wuliang Mountain, and learned the Northern Shengong and Ling Bo Weibu from a jade statue, the story has begun to get better.

Readers began to expect Gongzi Brother Duan Yu to learn peerless martial arts and become a master of saving martial arts. With the appearance of Gu Mozhi, Qiao Feng and others, the story is even better.

As for Gu Long's **, although the beginning is also very attractive, the storyline in the middle seems to be verbose and bland, and there is not much interest.

It seems that looking at the beginning and the end, the whole story content is understood. Reading Gu Long's **, there are many characters who appear. But most of them are soy sauce characters, they appear quickly, and they get boxed lunches quickly, which doesn't leave a deep impression.

3, Jin Yong's ** is deeply liked by the film and television drama industry, and Gu Long's has fallen behind.

The rise and prosperity of martial arts ** has also promoted the development of martial arts film and television dramas. After all, as a popular martial arts **, if it is adapted into a film and television drama, the ratings and box office will be guaranteed.

When Hong Kong movies were very prosperous back then, Gu Long's ** was especially liked by the film and television drama industry, and his martial arts ** was especially suitable for adaptation into movies.

People like Luo Wei, Chu Yuan and others have filmed movies adapted from Gu Long's original book**, and Dillon, Jiang David, Gu Long and others have starred in movies adapted from Gu Long's original book.

It can be seen how influential Gu Long was at that time, in the field of TV dramas, Gu Long's series such as "Lu Xiaofeng" and "Chu Liuxiang" have also been remade many times, like Zheng Shaoqiu, Liu Songren, Wan Ziliang and others have starred.

In the early days, Gu Long's limelight overshadowed Jin Yong, but since the 90s, Jin Yong's ** adapted film and television dramas have surpassed Gu Long and have continued to this day.

In recent years, there have not been many film and television dramas in Gulong, and Jin Yong's ** is about to be filmed, but there are still many directors who want to shoot.

Film and television dramas are very important for the promotion of martial arts, precisely because many people have grown up watching Jin Yong's martial arts dramas since childhood, so the influence is subtle.

If many people also grew up watching Gu Long's martial arts dramas, and now Gu Long's martial arts dramas are still being remade, then I believe Gu Long's influence will be greater.
