Chapter 385: So dazzling, who is showing off?
"Wait a minute, you mean... the award guest is Gu Lu?" Jin Xinan asked quickly.
“It’s not considered an award-giving guest, because Gu Lu is originally a judge of the event.” A member of our literary club explained, “The first prize must be awarded by the most famous judge, and naturally it is Gu Lu.”< br>
She is really not interested in receiving the award, as long as the bonus is received, after all, an award from a school literary club cannot be included in a resume.
But it would be different if the award guest was Gu Lu. Although she still couldn't add it to her resume, it would make her feel happy.
"Actually, my internship work is not that busy," Jin Xinan said immediately, "Since the club is so formal, if I am not present, it seems that I am not giving face! I must give this face!"
We members of the literary club He was not stupid. He obviously knew that he changed his mind after hearing Gu Lu's name. He sighed in his heart that Gu Lu's influence among those born in the 1990s was really great.
"That's great. I will send you the entire process via WeChat after I hang up the phone. The specific acceptance speech and the interview with Peking University News Agency all need to be communicated. Your mobile phone number is WeChat ID Right?" The member didn't expose it and continued.
Want to interview? An acceptance speech? Jin Xinan is an international performing artist, and now she wants to perform again.
"Ahem, okay. I'm waiting to pass my friend." Jin Xinan said.
The two of them didn't chat, and they weren't familiar with each other before. After the member hung up the phone, he sent the document.
It was indeed formal, with teacher Li Liangping giving a speech on behalf of the school, president Xia Xiao giving a speech, and "suggestions" on the winners' speeches.
I would like to thank our literary club for its activities and give you a few compliments. Jin Xinan knew that this was the right thing to do. After all, receiving a bonus and saying a few words of praise was a sign of worldliness.
It’s just...it’s really troublesome!
"Master Gu Lu, Master Gu Lu, I suffered a lot just to receive the certificate from you!" Jin Xinan thought.
She came home from get off work today (she is a native of Sijiu City) and rummaged through the boxes and found three versions of the Little Prince. Should I get the collector's edition for autographs, or the hardcover edition?
The collector's edition has not yet torn open the plastic seal, so the signature must be torn off. After all, the signature on the plastic seal is too golden. But Jin Xinan was a little reluctant to part with it. Both the hardcover and regular editions were a bit old.
It seems that the fifth anniversary commemorative edition was recently released... Jin Xinan hurriedly bought a new book.
One thing to note is that today Dean Fu from Zhejiang University also purchased a fifth anniversary edition of "The Little Prince".
Compared with the previous version, there is definitely no difference in content, but the paper is better. This is the case nowadays, paper and printing are getting better and better, and they are getting more and more expensive. For example, the book in the hands of Dean Fu costs 86 yuan a copy.
Dean Fu was nicknamed "Fu Da Fu" among students from outside Zhejiang. It was not because he wore gold and silver, but mainly because he walked with style and had a hairstyle that made him look like a nouveau riche.
But he is an expert in urban and rural tourism such as the Grand Canal. He is also the vice president of the Chinese Latin American Society. He is definitely an academic talent.
Walking was windy, and soon he returned to the carriage and opened the 5th anniversary edition of "The Little Prince."
"There are also new things. I actually asked for a draft of the illustration." Dean Fu flipped through a few pages at random and found that there were many drafts at the end.
“Gu Lu obviously didn’t know how to draw, but at the same time he knew very clearly what he wanted to express, so he painted the illustrations bit by bit into what they are now.” Dean Fu lamented, “It was too late to start. ”
A few years ago, there was a proposal to recruit Gu Lu, but later the proposal failed and the matter was dropped.
Tell me why Dean Fu suddenly came to buy books. I also received the list of student exchange groups from Peking University yesterday, and found a familiar name in it-Gu Lu!
Zhejiang Foreign Language School organizes such a large-scale event to definitely expand the school’s influence, both abroad and domestically.
Gu Lu’s participation, wouldn’t it be a dimensionality-reducing blow to other students? But Dean Fu couldn't refuse.
"It's so unreasonable and doesn't leave any way for foreign students to survive." Dean Fu agreed and also made a request. The Chinese student leader should still come as planned.
The original plan was Fei Hai, a senior student from Zhejiang University.
Fei Hai is a very outstanding classmate. Before he graduated, he participated in the "British Short Story Translation Project" with his professor and translated some outstanding British short stories. Because they are not as famous as writers like Edgar Allan Poe, most of the works of British writers have not been translated.
Peking University agreed to Dean Fu’s request very smoothly.
After all, according to what Principal Gong and Vice Principal Ruan said, they originally didn’t want to use Gu Lu, but they couldn’t resist the fact that the latter wanted to participate on his own.
Gu Lu, who "took the initiative" to participate in the International Student Cultural Festival, also wrote very smoothly.
I'm going to Professor Lu's place in the afternoon, so I'll do some coding in the morning.
There are short stories of five to six thousand words.
Yes, "Walking Nine Miles" is a short story in the true sense of the word.
"It's almost restored. It's nice to watch. It's very varied and very impressive." Gu Lu took his hands off the keyboard and breathed a sigh of relief. He was really tired.
Looking at "The Nine Mile Walk" again, no matter how many times I read it, this story is still very good. On Earth won the award for Best First Launch Story at the EQMM annual awards. Even Ellery Quinn, who is known for his logical reasoning, expressed his appreciation and even gave this evaluation: "(Nine Mile Walk) is one of the best first stories we have ever published."
Of course, some details have been modified, as you can tell by looking at the messy desktop.
Computer desks tend to form two extremes. One is "organized", even if there are many objects, they are still in order. The other kind is messy and confusing. Gu Lu belongs to the latter. There is a stack of Tolstoy's works on the computer desk, a map, two headphones, a water cup, a mobile phone holder, a mirror, etc.
The map was obtained by Professor Toda. It is a relatively detailed map of France, including villages and towns.
Walking Nine Miles The original background of the story was England, but Gu Lu changed it to France and found the actual place names on the map. The distance and direction can all be matched. Look, doesn’t this have French elements?
In addition, the protagonist is set as a character who likes Italian food, and the Italian and Italian elements are also alive.
When I put the map away and rolled it up, I suddenly felt that the desktop was very messy. Gu Lu has this kind of personality, he loves to be tidy intermittently. It took half an hour to clean up my computer desktop! No doubt it will last at least a week.
"I can keep it tidy for at least a month this time." Gu Lugao looked at himself.
Picked up the phone and glanced at the green bubble. There were three new messages.
[Editor Liu Yong: Teacher Gu Lu, if you need help or discussion, you can call us at any time. ]
[Jia Xu: Big brother, remember the awards ceremony at 3:30 tomorrow afternoon! ]
[Li Guyuan: Is it really okay? I haven’t written an article for a long time. It’s not that I’m afraid of being rejected, it’s that I’m afraid that I won’t be able to write to the level I should. ]
To Jia Xu and Liu Yong, I replied with the OK emoticon.
Yesterday, Gu Lu watched "The Grocery Store" and really felt that it was pretty good. It tells the story of four or five people who don't know each other. Because they all visit the grocery store, they have a few interactions.
If the stories are more closely connected, they can even be submitted to literary magazines. The main theme of the story is still positive, and ordinary people in ordinary lives also work very hard.
There is absolutely no problem in submitting to Youth Digest.
[Gu Lu: How will you know if you will fail if you don’t try? Don’t worry, if your manuscript is rejected, I will ask you to treat me to dinner. ]
After comforting Li Guyuan, Gu Lu felt hungry and cooked some frozen dumplings.
Must say something! These dumplings were not bought outside, but Gu Lu bought dumpling wrappers and meat fillings last month and made them himself. At that time, it was placed neatly in the freezer.
I don't know if it's an illusion - "It doesn't feel as delicious as frozen food?"
Illusion, an absolute illusion, he made the dumplings by himself, regardless of the ingredients, he put them into If you work harder, it will definitely taste better.
Food and clothing, thoughts and essays.
Gu Lu also wrote "Survival Card" and "Repentance of a Thief". Very hardworking, almost the same as when I was gaining popularity in high school.
It’s not because of the news about Liu Yong, deputy editor-in-chief of People’s Literature, but mainly because I want to write more and win the Lu Xun Literature Award, Pu Songling Literature Award, Yu Dafu Literature Award, and Baihua Literature Award. If you get them all, your goal of becoming a domestic short story writer will be half achieved. Currently one quarter of the way is done.
The other half is communication power. Gu Lu is not worried about this aspect. He has already bought and sold the copyrights of two or three film adaptations.
It turns out that Earth also has the Wang Zengqi Short Story Award. The parallel world Wang Zengqi does not exist, and Gu Lu's first work on the literary road is Wang Lao's Liaozhai Xinyi.
Copying Project—I’ve read 90% of Tolstoy’s entire text. Don't worry, the celebration is next year.
The writing for this year’s Student Cultural Festival has been completed, leaving only the submission for “People’s Literature” and the novel “From the New World”. All aspects are being steadily advanced.
It has been two or three months since I returned in May, and I have already produced 230,000 to 40,000 words of manuscripts.
It is slow among online writers, but in the field of physical books, it is absolutely amazing. Thinking about it, it is estimated that only a few physical writers such as Bestseller Jun and Ma Boyong can achieve this.
……
The next day, don't go out in the morning or evening, because he only has something to do in the afternoon.
The wind was a bit strong in the afternoon, making the white poplars rustle and blowing Gu Lu's hair like weeds. He has been a little worried recently. Will his hair fall out if he often faces the computer? He doesn't want to go bald young.
The award ceremony was held at the office of "Our Literary Club", which was covered with many red balloons. A festive scene was arranged with the least amount of money.
The most expensive thing in this ceremony was the plastic sign held by Gu Lu.
It is very light, with a printed check pattern on the front, and the words "Three Thousand Yuan" are very eye-catching.
It is said that custom-making this plastic check card cost more than three hundred, and Gu Lu felt like he was ripped off. But he didn't say anything because he didn't know whether he was being ripped off or someone was taking kickbacks. University clubs are not as simple as the No. 8 Middle School clubs, they are no different from society.
"Teacher Gu Lu, I am a fan of your book, can you sign it?" Jin Xinan recognized Gu Lu at a glance and took out "The Little Prince" from the small schoolbag behind him.
Signing his name in twos and twos, Gu Lu's signature is no longer the signature of celebrities who spent money to design it in the past few years. It has fewer strokes and is more difficult to understand.
“The Overlook is very well written. Are you developing in the writing industry?” Gu Lu signed and asked.
“My composition used to be pretty good, but after I went to college, I seemed to have lost something.” Jin Xinan said, “I can’t write as well as before.”
What have you lost? If you want to pick up the conversation, you can continue the conversation, but Gu Lu said, "You can get first place even if your writing is not as good as before. This is a bit Versailles. I hate people like you the most." What a genius.”
Gu Lu handed back the signed book.
"??" Jin Xinan's eyes widened, this is Versailles, right?
Everyone was getting ready. Jia Xu handed over a piece of A4 paper, "I printed out the acceptance speech, but it's not necessary."
She wrote the acceptance speech yesterday. It's done. After finishing the matter, I sent it to Jia Xu, the member who called yesterday.
"Just a few words." Jin Xinan said, "I remember."
"That's okay, I also want to be prepared." Jia Xu said.
"Why did you cut your hair short?" Gu Lu, who was next to him, saw that the exchange was over and finally asked his doubts. Jia Xu had a bald head, the kind that would reflect light when incandescent lamps shine on it. The airy bangs used to look good, but now... they look weird. Not ugly, just not used to it.
Just like if there are thousands of big oranges every day, readers will definitely not be used to it.
"Someone in the department next door wants to do a performance art, and then says he wants to shave his head and go to the Great Wall. I will respond and support him." Jia Xu touched his head.
"Are you familiar with me?" As far as Gu Lu was concerned, if he wasn't a best friend, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it.
"Those from the philosophy department can be considered friends. Anyway, even if your hair is shaved, it will grow back." Jia Xu said, "Being able to become part of performance art means that your hair can be put to its best use."
"Don't use idioms randomly. It means making the best use of things. That's called dying well." Gu Lu joked with a smile.
Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, Jin Xinan felt a touch of dissatisfaction in his heart. Teacher Gu Lu could easily and even initiate a conversation with Jia Xu, but he was a bit alienated from her.
I have to say that women’s sixth sense is sometimes really accurate.
Jin Xinan, have you lost your mind in Southwest? Teacher Gu Lu and this club member must be friends, so they must be more casual in their conversation. Besides, you just met Teacher Gu Lu, why do you want to chat? Jin Xinan said this to himself in his heart.
There are quite a lot of mental activities, but the expression on Jin Xinan's face has not changed. It's not that I have a good impression or anything, it's not that exaggerated, it's just that Jin Xinan has liked "comparison" since he was a child. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my parents always said that a bowl of water would be the best when I was young, but actually I prefer my younger brother.
“Actually, I heard from others that bald guys are really handsome.” Jin Xinan took the initiative to join the chat group.
“Then me?!!” Jia Xu’s eyes were full of expectation.
Jin Xinan paused and said, "Don't care too much about other people's words."
"The truth is a sharp knife, it hurts." Jia Xu exaggeratedly covered his chest.
That’s right, Jia Xu’s way of activating the atmosphere is a bit exaggerated. But I have to admit that if it were all I's situation, he could really liven up the atmosphere.
While chatting, Jin Xinan "accidentally" revealed a little news.
“Wow, you are the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Henan Province?!” Jia Xu’s eyes widened.
The gold content of the top scorer in the college entrance examination in Henan Province also made Gu Lu startled. Is this a genius?
"Good luck." Jin Xinan said, "I performed better during the exam."
"I didn't perform well during the exam." Jia Xu sighed, "I only scored 695 points."
Who is showing off? It’s so dazzling. Since this is the case, no wonder Gu Lu.
He said, "I really envy you. I couldn't even take the high school entrance examination or the college entrance examination."
"..." Jin Xinan.
Damn it, Jia Xu is convinced, is he still a little inferior?
After chatting for a while, the award ceremony began.
Gu Lu held up a plastic plaque and presented it to Jin Xinan, while students from the news agency took photos.
A bit too serious.
