Chapter 202 Gu Lu’s Little Peak
“This way our problem is solved, and the only obstacle left is how to generate blood.” Li Guyuan said, “There are more than 60 schools, and each school must send at least Ten copies, then each issue will cost about 700 copies, which is not a small sum of money."
"Don't worry, I already have a solution for this matter" Gu Lu looked at the other party's doubtful eyes. , couldn't help but say, "As the president, I still have to do something."
"Okay president, no problem, president." Li Guyuan chose to believe the president, and then he rubbed his hands and asked, " Then when will we start?”
“Wait a little longer,” Gu Lu said, “I’m waiting for the right time.”
What's the right time? Li Guyuan was confused.
The neon magazine "Mystery.Magazine" saw the opportunity and turned around and stabbed "Fu Wenzhi".
The editorial department made a poster to introduce writers who are heavily paid (actually the remuneration in Neon is only mid-to-high).
The name is too long, so let’s just call it MM Magazine.
The cartoonist who designed the poster is the popular Tadatoshi Fujimaki. His comic "Kuroko's Basketball" serialized in "Shounen Jump" in 2009 was the runner-up in neon sales in 2012.
There is nothing wrong with being popular!
To be honest, MM Magazine did not ask Gu Lu for a photo. The editorial department’s request to Fujimaki was, “The other person is a precocious genius boy. Just draw these two characteristics, and feel free to use the rest.”
So, let’s take a look at Tadatoshi Fujimaki’s free play——
The background of the picture is a school classroom, sitting on a leather sofa similar to a throne, wearing DK (a bit Similar to the Teiko school uniform), but the jacket is worn on the body, like a cloak.
The eyes are contemptuous, and the character's movements are like a napping emperor.
[Genius of the Empire] [Thirty Million Giant Riots in the Empire] [Eyes that see through human nature, amazing precocity]
There is a text at the bottom of the poster:
"Okay! Give it to you Give me the opportunity to challenge you and let me make you realize your own insignificance."
New works: "One-Inch Master", "Inhuman Love", "Flower and Grass Bento", "Moon Song" and "Owl Man" are coming out one after another. , so stay tuned.
If you look carefully at the poster, there are details. The sofa has the outline of a human hand, which is the chair in the human world. There is also a human figure hidden on the ceiling in the background, which corresponds to two masterpieces.
Fortunately, the poster did not spread to China, otherwise it would have been another big project for the toes.
"Editor-in-chief Sato, I heard that Gu Lusang has another novel." Xiaoqie, the editor in charge of contacting Gu Lu, reported.
Sato motioned for the other party to continue with interest, and Xiaoqie continued, ""The Little Prince" has sales of nearly 600,000 in China. It is a fairy tale novel."
" Wait," Sato looked at his employees with questioning eyes, "Fairy tales?"
"Hi!" Xiao Qie responded, "Gu Lusang is famous for writing fairy tales in China, and Yu Xin Yao Sang also commented For [a work written for adults, thank you for having such a work]"
"Yuxin Yaosang? The Chinese critic who wrote "Illustrated Book of Neon Works"?" Sato asked.
Xiao Qie nodded, "Yu Sang admires "The Little Prince" very much."
"Neon Works Illustrated Book" is a collection of reviews of neon modern novels. Tokyo has been popular for a while.
But in 2007, when national sentiment in Neon was rising and the slogan "Why should Neon's works be evaluated by Chinese people" was launched, the market for this book disappeared.
Sato has read the illustrated book and knows Yu Xinyao’s level. This evaluation certificate is definitely acceptable.
"It's unimaginable, a fairy tale novel written by Gu Lu." Sato was silent, but he asked Xiaoqie to find a translator and translate one or two fragments for him to take a look at.
Whether he is introduced or not, Sato's curiosity has reached its peak.
“Hi!” Xiaoqie agreed. After the editor-in-chief left the office and gently closed the door, Editor-in-Chief Sato looked at the magazine "Ukibunshi" at hand. He bought both of the two issues that serialized Gu Lu's articles.
"Is there really a writer who can master two styles back and forth?" This is Sato's inner question.
The story published in the new issue of MM magazine is about the one-inch mage and the inhuman love that Fu Wenzhi returned.
Ikuma Yasuda is really good. On the day the magazine was launched, he immediately advertised for Gu Lu on his social platform.
Ito Junji: [Master Gu Lu’s new work is here! The new work is published in "Mystery.Magazine", I have supported it! I really want to adapt "Inhuman Love" too! ]
With the cooperation of the magazine and Junji Ito’s promotion, this time is the peak of Gu Lu’s fame in neon!
"It's still the same style, perverted and dark. I declare Gu Lu to be the most perverted high school student! No one can challenge Neon."
"Did "Mystery.Magazine" poach the writer of "Fuwenzhi"? Hahaha, it's really rare. This is what inhuman love tastes like."
"It's unbelievable, our Neon can't compare to Huaxia in terms of talent. , why can’t you even compare to the pervert? Can you do an exclusive interview? I want to know more about the imperial genius.”
“Ito Junji’s human head balloon makes people have nightmares at night, I just hold it to inspire them. What kind of writer is Junji Ito? After reading the latest two stories, it’s no wonder!”
“Are the posters based on me?”
< br>Gu Lu’s popularity accumulated in Fuwenzhi exploded in MM magazine!
What does it mean to make wedding clothes for others? This is it.
As mentioned before, the readership of "Fu Wen Zhi" is very fixed, but this issue has dropped far below the average.
Of course Gu Lu alone does not have that much appeal. To be precise, he has not yet grown into a writer who can take readers with him.
It’s just that such a situation occurred among the readers-
“Huh? Why did Gu Lu, the author of Fuwenzhi, go to the other side?”
"Gu Lu... has a unique writing style. Why don't I buy "Mystery.Magazine" today? I quite like the chair in the world. I will buy "Floating Wenzhi" next time."
"Definitely next time. ”
Not all readers are so privileged and can buy two magazines at one time. Most of them have priorities.
Next time there are more readers, sales will not decline.
You can imagine the mood of Ota Shike, the editor-in-chief of "Ukibunshi"...
Anyway, it was a happy day for Gu Lu, so he came to the fish hotpot alone.
Today is Thursday. There are not many people in the store in the afternoon, only one or two scattered tables.
It’s okay to eat hotpot alone! As soon as Gu Lu approached, the scent of chili pepper and Sichuan peppercorns wafted over, whetting his appetite.
"Little writer, you are here today. Let me introduce you to a real writer." The store owner introduced Gu Lu enthusiastically.
“This is a great poet with the pen name Tu Liang, and he is also a member of the Fog City Writers Association. His last collection of poems, “Proceeding in Dreams,” sold 60,000 copies.” The store owner said, “We will get results in the future. , I can ask your Uncle Tu to take you into the Writers Association.”
The store owner has pure good intentions. He wants students who love writing to get to know real writers, so that they can have a better future.
