Chapter 107 Feel the horror intuitively
"No problem." Teacher Lu agreed immediately.
If it were other students, he would still hesitate, fearing that the students would miss some key knowledge points.
Although Gu Lu is a student, is his main task to study? It's not that material.
"Oh, okay." Gu Lu stood up, confusion not written on his face.
What magazine and society came to him?
Leave the classroom with the attention of teachers and classmates.
Through the corridor, passing by the rockery, and the puddles reflecting the teaching building, the two figures passed by in a flash.
On the way, Director Hu made a long story short. Next, he would meet with the principal, vice president, and editor-in-chief.
"If you say it, you haven't said it yet. What's the use of just introducing your identity? Tell me what's going on!" Gu Lu was speechless. He asked immediately, but the other party's reply was that he would know when he got there.
The Riddler gets out of the middle school!
In the office of the Director of Admissions, there were three middle-aged men.
Gu Lu knew one of them, Principal Liu of No. 8 Middle School, who had appeared at the opening ceremony. His nasolabial folds seemed to be digging grooves on his face, which was impressive.
The other two are the editor-in-chief and deputy president mentioned by Director Hu?
"Hello, Mr. Gu, I am Dong Yun, the editor-in-chief of the new reading editorial department of "Bike"." Editor-in-chief Dong, who had very dark skin, took the initiative to say hello.
Not all fishermen have dark skin, but Dong Yun, who often fishes in the wild, has quite dark skin, because his skin color even covers the scars on his face.
Because the editor-in-chief Xiao Xue couldn’t get it, the editor-in-chief took action personally? But it was unexpected that the other editor-in-chief would come directly from Bingcheng to Fog City.
"Hello, Chief Editor Dong." Gu Lu greeted politely.
“I know that Mr. Gu Lu has concerns about the quality of our magazine. To be able to write such suspenseful and supernatural stories with profound connotations as "Iron Pillar" and "Singing the Moon Song in the White House", it must be very useful to choose a platform. Necessary." Straight to the point, Editor-in-Chief Dong also showed his sincerity, "So I invited President Wang to prove our determination."
Many people think that "Bi Ke" is not good, but he is. The sponsoring unit is New Youth Journal Publishing House, which is the same parent as "New Youth" magazine.
President Wang is the vice president of Xinqing Publishing House and the leader of the Bingcheng Youth League Committee. This is why Principal Liu and Director Hu attach so much importance to it.
Otherwise, if you are just the editor-in-chief of Bike, why are you? This middle-aged man with a mustache is the principal of a key high school!
“I have heard the name of classmate Gu Lu many times. Gu Lu is Brother Jian’s favorite writer.” President Wang said, “I am the vice president of New Youth Publishing House and also a Book lover.”
Of the three middle-aged men in the room, President Wang is the most inconspicuous in terms of temperament and appearance.
At such a young age - the future is limitless. Principal Liu was secretly frightened. He didn't know who President Wang was talking about, Brother Jian, but the tone sounded like he was an insider.
Perhaps Gu Lu had more potential than he thought. Principal Liu thought to himself that Wu Du's plan might be ruined...
"That's President Jian." Gu Lu knew it was President Jian as soon as he heard it.
“The quality of the stories collected by "Bike·New Reading" in the past was uneven and did not bring correct guidance to the society. Therefore, our head office and the editorial department of Bike have discussed it many times."
President Wang continued what Editor Dong was saying. "So we want to make it more high-quality, and we will start with the two articles by Gu Lu as the beginning of the reform."
Oops!
Director Hu looked surprised and translated into more understandable words. It is "Bi Ke" that needs to change its route, and Gu Lu's work is the "benchmark", "the anchor stone" and "the first voice".
Before Gu Lu arrived just now, Principal Liu and President Wang had a brief chat, but they didn’t know the specific reason for coming all the way.
Principal Liu, who now knows the reason, said, "Gu Lu is so young, can the article he writes be able to take on such an important task?"
Principal Liu is not belittling the students in his school, but just protecting him. With one hand, don't put too much pressure on the seedlings. It's not good to encourage the seedlings to grow.
President Wang heard this and said, "Iron Pillar and Moon Song in the White House are more than enough. Especially the latter. When I reviewed the submissions for New Youth, I saw many young talents who had solid skills at a young age. The writing style and profound literary foundation, but classmate Gu Lu——"
"The depth of his thoughts shocked me, especially after reading "Singing the Moon Song in the White House" "
" Regarding the core of the story, I have a vague guess that the protagonist is a natural spirit that can be possessed by ghosts, and then send the ghosts to the white house, so that the ghosts can enter reincarnation."
"The protagonist has nothing. Thinking is all about following the instructions of the master, just like the relationship between children and parents. Many parents regard their children as their continuation, and impose various interest classes regardless of their children's ideas. It is like being possessed by a ghost, which will make the protagonist extremely uncomfortable. "< br>
President Wang said, “I have also raised two children, and I pride myself on being open-minded and respecting them. However, after seeing this metaphor in the story, I still can’t help but reflect on myself. If I am happy, my children are happy. What I like means that my children like it.”
"Actually, I have a different answer." The black-skinned editor Dong interjected, "The happiness felt by the protagonist 'I' is one-sided and false. But when the protagonist awakens his own will and wants to pursue real happiness, the false happiness will also Then disappeared, and even the master died. I think the story is discussing what happiness is."
What exactly is happiness?
Rethinking family education?
Is this something that high school students should think about?
Besides, it is condensed into a supernatural novel. What kind of exaggerated writing ability is this? !
Director Hu and Principal Liu only intuitively felt the horror of Gu Lu's writing ability at this moment.
"After the work is published, it no longer belongs to the author. You can understand it no matter how you interpret it." Gu Lu saw Dong and Wang turning their eyes over and quickly came up with a snake oil response.
To put it another way, what the editor and president in front of them understood from the article far exceeded Gu Lutuo's reading comprehension when he arrived.
No wonder you can win awards. Gu Lu thought to himself. Sure enough, good works reflect society, so they are reasonable to interpret from all angles.
“Our magazine is willing to offer a price of 220 per thousand words.” Editor-in-chief Dong said.
President Wang added, "I guarantee in the name of the editor-in-chief of New Youth Publishing House that I am willing to help you publish a collection of short stories."
The high remuneration of 220 per thousand words did not attract Gu Lu, but instead he helped publish short stories. This condition caught his attention.
Publishing more than a dozen wonderful short stories, Gu Lu had already thought of a collection, otherwise wouldn’t so many good works be wasted?
Gu Lu originally wanted to wait until he became famous before making any plans, but now it seems that he has no intention of doing anything!
Since the other party made an offer that he could not refuse, Gu Lu immediately agreed to cooperate with "Baker·New Reading", and the two parties will sign a contract tomorrow.
Although assisting with publishing will not be written into the contract, the credibility of the promise made by the vice president of the publishing house in front of the principal of a key high school is still quite high.
