Chapter 190 Rich List of Writers
"What are you doing?" Li Guyuan patted his dazed classmates.
“Think about something.” Gu Lu responded.
"Have you brought the things I asked you to bring yesterday?" Li Guyuan asked.
"Bring it." Gu Lu handed over the red notebook.
"OK, I will try my best to contact all the high schools I can contact during this winter vacation," Li Guyuan said.
"The entire Fog City?" Gu Lu asked, "Do you know how many high schools there are in Fog City?"
"There are two hundred and thirty-seven in total. Don't panic for the subordinate cities and counties. "Li Guyuan said, "We only count those in the main urban area, and there are 83 schools."
"Winter vacation is almost a month away. Leaving aside the time for me to study and improve chemistry, I still have a lot of time, so there are more than 80. Contact the school and you will have plenty of time," Li Guyuan said.
It’s such a niche language. Gu Lu found that he couldn’t understand it. Are you speaking human language? More than 20 days have to be deducted to improve chemistry, so you have plenty of time?
You have forty-eight hours in a day, right?
"Can I help you with anything?" Gu Lu felt that as the president, he seemed to have to take care of something, otherwise he would feel a little embarrassed.
"No, you want to write a novel. Your "Little Prince" has sold more than 500,000 copies, right? You may go to other cities to hold book signings or something. You'd better save more time." Li Guyuan explain.
Gu Lu found that he had the potential to be a hands-off shopkeeper. He was the founder of Campus Wall, the president of the publication club, and the consultant of the Eighth Middle School Model United Nations. He had three titles and basically did nothing.
He now somewhat understands why so many celebrities have so many titles, because they are famous.
When I came to school today, in addition to getting my report card, I also had to clean up the whole school.
Lu Yi arranged the division of labor among the students.
Think about it, there are so many people in the class, we simply can’t use that many people for cleaning. There must be two-thirds of the students fishing, and the remaining one-third, and some of them talk very loudly. Direct the students to do things.
Gu Lu belongs to the group that takes advantage of the situation, because the job he was assigned was to clean the windows.
Just a few windows and three people needed? There aren’t that many rags in the class. Gu Lu thought it was wrong to stand alone, so he walked around pretending to be busy.
It's not like he didn't work hard, for example - Gu Lu's gaze was interrupted by shouts from outside.
“Are you stupid, flat-headed men? Stop cleaning what you are doing and come out to play.” Zeng Jie and sports committee member Ma Xuanyou shouted outside.
"Maoxian, who will carry the water if I leave?" Lu Ping asked.
Each class has two buckets. Although the toilet has a sink, it is not convenient to collect water, so you have to go to the first floor to get water.
Lu Ping was very strong and lifted it up and down several times.
"There are so many people and no one has mentioned it? It's ridiculous." Zeng Jie said.
"There are many people who can carry buckets, but I am the only one with such strength." Lu Ping said, leaving the two of them with a tall back.
"Lu Ping, come here and do me a favor. Move this water dispenser away, and I'll clean this table."
Youdao female voice sounded.
“Coming, coming.” Lu Ping replied quickly. This feeling of being needed above all else, it was so satisfying! Zeng Jie and Ma Xuanyou stared at Lu Ping's back like a fool. They went to play downstairs. With so many people doing cleaning, it was not their turn.
Apart from Lu Ping, there were also Dou Ke who worked very hard, but Tadpole guessed that he was secretly fighting with Lu Ping.
He thinks that Lu Ping must be doing this to attract Huang Lu's attention. Dou Ke has several years of experience doing housework at home, so he can't lose!
So Lu Ping went to carry a bunch of water, and Dou Ke went to carry a bucket. Not to mention that he was very tired, the bucket was shaking around, and the water was splashed on the corridor. The ground was wet, and many people had spilled it. . "Tadpole, you are out of breath, let me move two buckets." Gu Lu was tired of fishing and wanted to find something to do.
"No need! Brother Zhulu, I'm on vacation. I am responsible for the dishes and sweeping and mopping the house. Do you know that I have experience?" Dou Ke's voice was loud, as if I want Lu Ping to hear it too.
This is not a matter of experience, this thing just depends on strength.
To be honest, Lu Ping didn't feel Dou Ke's sincerity at all, because he was called Sakuragi Hanamichi in the basketball club. Another reason was that he had low emotional intelligence and a very low sense of other people's dissatisfaction.
After cleaning, Gu Lu said goodbye to his classmates and went home. He bought "West China Metropolis Daily" on the way. He usually doesn't have the habit of reading newspapers.
This time, I mainly want to see the 7th Writers Rich List in 2012——
[1. Zheng Yuanjie, native place: Linfen, Shanxi Province
Royalty: 26 million, age: 57, representative work "Pipilu Mobilization"
2. Li Juzi, native place: Wujin District (Diaozhou), Suzhou Province
Royalty: 21.5 million, age 37 , representative work: "The Prince in Fairy Tales"
3. Yang Hongying, native place: Rongcheng, Sichuan Province
Royalty: 20 million, age: 50, representative work: "The Diary of the Laughing Cat"
< br>
4. Wang Fengyou...]
A total of 30 people were ranked, and the entry threshold was 1.5 million.
"My royalties last year were only about 500,000, and I'm still far from being on the list." Gu Lu looked at the list.
To summarize, it is easy for children to earn money. The first and second runner-up are both about fairy tales, and the runner-up is about the youth pain mentioned above. The main market consumer groups are also middle school and high school students.
“There are still fewer books published. For example, teacher Zheng Yuanjie, even if the sales volume of a single book does not exceed 500,000 copies, quantity wins.”
Gu Lu wondered whether he could have a place on the list in 2013.
Winter vacation officially started. Within five days, Oe Katsuhiko translated the manuscript and sent it to Gu Lu.
[Teacher Gu Lu’s exploration of urban legends in “Flower Rice” and “Owl Man” gave me a lot of writing inspiration. I hope I can have a second chance to collaborate with Teacher Gu Lu. ] Oe Katsuhiko’s email.
Gu Lu’s idea is that if he wins the award, he will definitely have a chance.
It happened to be January, the time when submissions for major novel awards were accepted, so Gu Lu decisively submitted his submission.
Half a month has passed, and this week is a bit important for Gu Lu. One is that I am going to the capital, and the other is that the new issue of "Science Fiction World" will be released this week, and "Raising God" will be published on it.
The third is the announcement of the awards -
"Owl Man (Owl Man)", "Moon Song (Singing the Moon Song in the White House)", "Hua Cao Bento (Hua Hua Rice)", none of them All exceptions are rejected!
This made Gu Lu very shocked when he learned the news.
"Teacher Gu, it is difficult for Chinese works to win awards in Neon. It is normal." Han Zang comforted, "It is not your writing problem."
Even though the total number of neon novel and comic awards exceeds 200, they basically belong to the four major literary tycoons Kadokawa, Otowa, Shinchosha, and Hitotsubashi.
The Shogakukan and Shueisha that are often heard in China are both Hitotsubashi Group.
The Kawabata Yasunari Award, the Mishima Yukio Award, the Neon Fantasy Novel Award, etc. are all from Shinchosha, including the R18 Literature Award.
So Gu Lu is still a little naive. Many of Neon's awards are valuable, but the prerequisite is to enter other people's "place".
Unintentionally, Junji Ito’s comic "The Human Chair" won the award!
