Chapter 434 "It's over"
"Time capsule - this thing is useless." Li Guyuan said, "I saw them discussing it in the class group before, but I was not interested, so I didn't go back to get it. You didn't bring it, did you?"
Looking at the other party's eyes, Tangyuan understood, and said, "I don't remember what I wrote before at all."
"Can we watch it together? By the way, I will take a photo and record it." Gu Lu made it clear that he would send it to Bilibili.
Li Guyuan immediately agreed, "Is your B station still being updated? I remember you interviewed me when I was in high school. Is this the case?"
"That's right."
Handing the envelope to the other party, Gu Lu also showed that it was well sealed and had not been opened.
Witnessed by the camera, Li Guyuan began to open it. His movements were very casual at first, like tearing apart express cartons. When he took out the letter paper, his movements became much gentler and turned into opening a figurine box.
[Three questions:
1. Has Huajing made any efforts?
2. Is Naruto finished?
3. Have you sold our grocery store? ]
Tangyuan shook his head, as if he had been hit by a bullet from seven or eight years ago, but he didn't want to reveal his true feelings, so he subconsciously covered it up with laughter and curses, "It's so stupid, to think that such a trivial matter as whether Naruto is finished or not is recorded in it."
"I haven't watched Naruto in the past few years. It seems that it ended a few years ago. The animation seems to be still being broadcast?" Li Guyuan said to Gu Lu.
"Then do you want to write down the answer?" Gu Lu prepared a pen.
"It's okay to write...it's okay to write." Li Guyuan changed the topic and originally wanted to write about an ashtray.
The first answer was written very quickly. Although Hua Jing did not work hard enough, he was successfully admitted to the school of his choice. So the first one is frank.
[No more pursuit.
Not yet...]
The last question made Li Guyuan put down his pen again, unable to finish.
Before Gu Lu asked, he took the initiative to explain, "What I want to accomplish most is actually this one."
"Our grocery store seems to be very easy to maintain, but in fact it is very time-consuming and difficult to leave. My mother spends most of her time in it. She originally had many interests and hobbies, but because she wanted to open a store, she gave up all of them. "Li Guyuan said, "When I was in junior high school, I signed up to learn jazz dance, but then I felt that my mother was sacrificing her own hobbies to support my interests, so she stopped going."
That's why Li Guyuan always had a goal, to earn enough money so that his parents could pursue their own interests, and the grocery store would naturally have to be sold.
"Speaking of which, I am also an unstable person..." Li Guyuan stopped emotionally, "I won't show any excess negative emotions in front of the camera. The time capsule recording is almost finished. Speaking of which, I am very curious about what you wrote. ”
Gu Lu informed Li Guyuan of the three questions he had written, and Li Guyuan's mind was full of question marks.
"So is a genius writer worthy of being a genius writer? I don't understand two of the three questions. Do you have two people on every birthday? Life is not a game, you have to get used to this world completely?" Li Guyuan looked at the other party, hoping that the other party could A little explanation.
Seeing the other party's lack of explanation, Tang Yuan made a guess, "Do you want to make up for it? I remembered that for your birthday last year, you asked for two small bowls of longevity noodles."
Another glutinous rice ball also thought of the answer. He knew Gu Lu's childhood situation. It must be that Zulu was very lonely when he was a child and no one cared about him. Generally speaking, in this kind of situation, one will either be rebellious and seek a sense of existence, or he will be depressed. Gu Lu is atypical and feels that the world is fake.
Now that he thought of the answer, Li Guyuan didn't want his friend to recall his tragic experience, so he changed the topic.
"Can you turn off the recording and go get something to eat?" Li Guyuan said, "By the way, do you know what Qi Caiwei wrote in the time capsule... Can we have some barbecue today?"
Tangyuan also pursued Qi Caiwei, the class beauty, when he was young, so he subconsciously wanted to know. But he stopped talking quickly. Li Guyuan wanted to slap himself in the mouth, but why couldn't he keep talking?
Qi Caiwei went to the Bear Country since high school and has been developing her career there and never returned. Li Guyuan felt that something was going on here...
In the end, the two of them went to have barbecue and paid for the meal with glutinous rice balls.
Even though Gu Lu has become wealthy and free, Li Guyuan believes that friends don't need to care about who is treating them, so they can't always be paid by one person.
The words are a bit convoluted, but you can probably understand the meaning of glutinous rice balls, right?
The two of them went home after eating. Gu Lu wanted to go back to his bachelor's apartment at Peking University, so they went in completely opposite directions.
He didn't drink. Li Guyuan was just a little bloated, but his mind was still very clear. He took the subway home.
When he gets off the subway station, he can buy something on the way. There is a small business district downstairs of the rental house, including Sanlian Bookstore, and Li Guyuan plans to buy two books to read. After all, he is currently writing part-time, switching from the American writing track to the science fiction track.
He once used Gu Lu's creativity to write a science fiction novel called "Machine Singer", about how big data music is getting worse and worse, which made him famous. So I can still make a living by writing science fiction short stories.
There is a giant poster at the entrance of the bookstore. To be precise, it is more like a message wall where customers can leave messages.
The problem is——
[Who is the most famous writer in China today? Please explain why it is Gu Lu. ]
"Okay, okay. Is this a clear question?" Li Guyuan looked at the reason written in marker.
"Because he is kind", "writes books quickly", "wrote the little prince", "as handsome as me"...
Most of them were filled in haphazardly, not much was written seriously. After searching around the glutinous rice balls, I found a long one: [I don’t know if he is the most famous, I only know that my uncle’s surname is Che, and he named his child Che Gulu wants his children to become great writers when they grow up. ]
There are many talents, which also shows that people who come to the bookstore have no doubts about the "most famous" statement. Li Guyuan sighed before entering the store, bought two books and took them home.
Finish the rest of the work and then read the book——
But after finishing the work, Tang Yuan was exhausted both physically and mentally. His brain seemed to be closed, and knowledge could not enter at all. He just wants to watch some short, mindless videos.
Short videos become more and more boring the more you watch them.
Browsing and swiping, Li Guyuan searched for "Naruto" by mistake.
I don’t remember where I gave up, so I clicked on an episode at random. Skipping the opening and ending, ten minutes later, Li Guyuan frowned and asked, "Why is it not as good as before?"
I can't watch it either. If I didn't watch it patiently, I wouldn't be able to finish one episode. It’s not that I have forgotten the plot, Li Guyuan can think of many things in his mind.
After sitting there and reminiscing, he took out the time capsule, and Li Guyuan crossed out the previous answer with a pen and changed it to "It's over."
His Naruto Shippuden is finished, and there will never be a sequel.
The conversation was divided into two parts. Gu Lu did not go to the bookstore to waste time. He went home directly. He first copied the video to his computer and then recorded it in a short video.
Gu Lu's English is very good. It was smooth at first, but later...
"I have no problem with English, and my Japanese is average, but Korean and Malay are really difficult to learn." Gu Lu started to learn English well in high school, mainly to earn money in Europe and the United States in the future. Now he has no English level to carry out ordinary conversations. question. So the thank you video to Lion City went smoothly.
"From the New World" is available in five versions, including Chinese, English, Malay, Japanese and Korean. Among them, the best translations are the English and Japanese versions, because there are many professionals in this field.
The English version that is banned in Europe and America and circulated on the Internet is the version released by the Lion City.
Although the market in Shicheng is small, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are, let alone a country, and its status in Asia is quite high. Yao Xiaoju believes that fame in the Lion City can be carefully managed.
It was already one o'clock in the morning when all five videos were recorded. Gu Lu was already too sleepy, so he turned on his computer and started writing pine nuts.
After writing the beginning, Gu Lu's attention turned to other places and he couldn't sit still.
He started cleaning up his computer's disk.
Anyway, Gu Lu was very energetic and agile at the moment, so he turned over an unexpected document, "This manuscript——"
"I've actually typed up Mr. Toad's book." Gu Lu browsed it and recalled it carefully. It seemed normal. It was only a novella of 40,000 to 50,000 words.
In the past, the full text of the cheese of the same length had already been coded. It is very arrogant to be a copywriter, especially for this kind of work that does not need to be modified.
That night, Gu Lu didn't go to bed until after three o'clock. Something happened the next day. The alarm clock rang around nine o'clock, and I woke up reluctantly from my dream.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Then his head felt like it was filled with paste, and Gu Lu felt dizzy and heavy.
"It's just a small all-nighter, and it's already like this before I stay up all night. I didn't sleep for two days in a row, and I was still in high spirits." Gu Luqiang gathered his energy and went to Professor Lu to report.
People come and go in the school. Professor Lu is the head of the Chinese Department. He has been to the office many times.
""From the New World" is quite good. The teacher took advantage of you and donated 1,000 copies to the Chinese language promotion project." Professor Lu said.
Um? Wait, something seems wrong, Gu Lu said, "Donate to the Chinese language promotion project?"
"Didn't you also participate in the previous Chinese Teaching Heroes project? They are all branch projects of the country to promote Chinese language and Chinese culture overseas." Professor Lu said, "Recently, your new work has been very popular in Southeast Asia. As the project leader, the teacher Taking advantage of you, I decided to use "From the New World" as a recommended book."
What's the advantage? Professor Lu is clearly giving you an opportunity! The promotion of Chinese language overseas is a project that the government has continued to export. "From the New World" has become one of the recommended books for overseas Chinese. The benefits of this thing in the future will be numerous just thinking about it.
But this is a popular novel from the New World, isn’t it a little bit? Gu Lu told the professor his concerns.
"The standardization and use of Chinese is another matter. The purpose of recommending books is to look good and attract people to read." Professor Lu said, "The results of "From the New World" are more than appropriate."
You probably understand that, unlike the recommended books for primary and secondary schools, the recommended books for Chinese overseas promotion are more important for “promotion”, while the former is to improve students’ reading level and knowledge reserves.
"Besides, Xiao Gu, you are different from other writers. The state must agree. As for what people in the circle say, let them say it. If you can't eat the grapes, you will naturally say the grapes are sour." Professor Lu said.
"Is a thousand copies enough?" Gu Lu asked.
"It's completely enough." Professor Lu said.
To be honest, if there is any benefit, you must take care of your own people, and if Gu Lu didn't have such a good relationship with the government, he wouldn't be able to do it even if he recommended it.
Coming from the director's office, Gu Lu turned around and told President Jian the news. President Jian waved his hand and said that he would donate directly in the name of the publishing house.
There was good news when he came to school, and Gu Lu's mind became much clearer.
Lunch was eaten in the school cafeteria. I have eaten at Gu Lu in the cafeteria of Tsinghua University, Peking University and Beiying University. I will make a small review. Beiying is the best, especially the sour soup and fat beef!
In the afternoon, a middle-aged man named Sha paid him a visit at school. They don't look like reporters or self-media.
After introducing himself, he called himself a writer and traditional culture promoter.
The identity of the writer is solid and verifiable. He has written three or four best-selling books (50,000), with the highest sales reaching 100,000 copies.
At the same time, he is committed to promoting Hanfu culture.
"Why do you have to name me?" Gu Lu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in surprise. He seemed to have nothing to do with this matter.
"...Because if Teacher Gu is willing to name it or take the lead, then the Hanfu Culture Promotion Association can be established." Sha Tong said.
According to Shatong, the state only allows the establishment of Hanfu cultural associations at the municipal level, and those at the provincial level and above cannot pass the review.
What contributes to this is that there is the Chinese Traditional Culture Promotion Association, which has a Hanfu promotion branch, but... its role is too small.
This is a nice way of saying it, but I say it again in an inelegant way, occupying the latrine and not taking a shit.
Sa Tong started tinkering with this matter in 2009. After repeated defeats, Sa Tong wanted to take advantage of the tiger's skin.
And why is it Gu Lu’s tiger skin?
"According to your statement, you brought the chairman of the Guangdong Provincial Writers Association into the game, and everything else failed before." Gu Lu asked suspiciously, "Can I succeed if I join?"
"Teacher Gu Lu, please don't belittle yourself. Your probability of success in participating is infinitely close to 100%. Moreover, Teacher Gu once wrote the magnificent article "Why China is Confident as a Nation", which is enough to prove that Teacher Gu has studied Hanfu. "Sha Tong said, "Everything is ready, I just need to take care of the teacher."
It was a bit exaggerated. Gu Lu wanted to scratch his head. It was so itchy. Could it be that he was going to have a brain?
"Let me think about it first. Joining an association is not a small matter. I want to think about it in detail." Gu Lu said, his mind was a little slow today. Of course, no matter how slow you are, you won't agree to anything casually. You will call me home to discuss it with Brother Guo.
"No problem, Teacher Gu really wants to do it. If you think about it slowly, I've been waiting for ten years." Sha Tong said, "I can make a form of what I will do if the association is established and send it to you, Teacher Gu."
"Currently, the Hanfu in film and television dramas cannot be about form, and there are too many Japanese styles. They must be boycotted!" Sha Tong couldn't help but reveal his current urgent plan.
"Okay, I'll think about it carefully." Gu Lu nodded.
"Teacher Gu Lu, have you had dinner? May I treat you to a meal?" Sha Tong said again.
"No, I didn't sleep well last night. I'm going to go home and rest." Gu Lu declined politely.
It was indeed true. After saying goodbye to Sha Tong, Gu Lu didn't go back to school and took an online car-hailing ride home.
In the car——
Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, let’s take a look to see if there are any second creations on Bilibili. Gu Lu was dizzy in the car. An idea suddenly popped into his decayed brain, which added motivation to his body. Gu Lu turned on his phone.
He likes to self-search on Weibo and follow his own Tieba. He has never done any self-search on Bilibili. Come and see what these B friends are doing...
