Chapter 209 Zhang Yudong: We are close friends
“It’s a pity that the rural teacher and Shiyun are not in this issue, otherwise March 1st would be a good day, suitable for breeding, shaving fetal hair, building houses, and going to school. , To bring wealth." Gu Lu was buying insoles at a street stall yesterday, and was given a traditional calendar by the stall owner, where he could see the auspicious days of each day.
"Planet Ruled by Rats"? Gu Lu saw the cover of Time Mystery Magazine and strongly recommended this book. There seemed to be a documentary saying that the planet was ruled by cockroaches.
After a few glances, Gu Lu lost interest because it didn't look good, but after all, he spent money, so he forced himself to read it.
Gu Lu has not read many popular science novels, but has read more popular science works, such as "Those Weird and Worrying Questions" and "Parasite Planet".
The difference between the two is that popular science novels must have a coherent "plot". The only ones that are somewhat impressive are "Flatland" and "Ant Empire Trilogy". The latter has too many novels and too little popular science.
Wait! "Flatland"! An idea suddenly came to Gu Lu's mind.
"Would you like to give it a try? It's not too troublesome anyway. If it works, you can get Flatland and leave a permanent name in the field of popular science novels!" Gu Lu has always said about copying. Very proactive.
Perhaps most readers have no impression of this book, but it is a benchmark in the field of popular science works.
But when he was about to call Zhang Yudong, he hesitated. Gu Lu thought that he had passed away early before, and he didn't even invite Zhang. He used people first and left them alone when he didn't need them. Isn't that not good?
But among the people Gu Lu knew, only Zhang Yudong had the strongest trait...
What is Zhang Yudong doing? When playing football, although there were only 10 people in total, the 5V5 play was quite unprofessional and intense.
At halftime, Zhang Yudong was sweating profusely and sitting in the rest area with his teammates.
"I've been really hurt by you! I'm so tired by you." Zhuo Feng panted.
"Speak nicely, why do you mean you are so tired from me." Zhang Yudong was a little better, but his proud bangs also became strands.
Zhuo Feng complained, "If you hadn't dragged me, I should be playing games at home now instead of sweating profusely."
"Is it fun to play with your carrot every day?" Zhang Yudong sipped water, Then pick up the phone.
Missed the call?
Brother Zhulu!
Zhang Yudong coughed twice, but when he failed to attract his friend's attention, he increased his volume and said, "I'll answer the phone, please don't make any noise."
Boys of this age like to "be mean" the most, don't they make a fuss? Zhuo Feng turned his attention and waited for the opportunity.
I saw that Zhuo was almost pressed against Zhang Yudong. If it had been any other time, Zhang would have pushed him away, because two sweating people would only get hotter if they were close together.
Calling back, Zhang Yudong pressed the side volume button very discreetly with his fingers and raised the volume to the maximum.
The call was connected, and Zhang Yudong couldn't wait to say, "Brother Zulu, if you have anything to do, you can't just tell Penguin directly. We are so familiar with each other, and you still have to make a call."
The other end of the phone Said: "Brother Dong, do you have time to go out for a meal together this week?"
"It's okay to eat, as long as I have a holiday here." Zhang Yudong responded, and then added, "If you are really anxious, I can ask for leave. Our school is very easy to ask for leave."
"No, no, no. , that’s not necessary, let’s have a meal together when we have time, tell me what you like to eat, and I can find a place according to your preferences.”
Am I so famous? Zhang Yudong himself was confused. He coughed twice, "Brother Zhenlun, I'm not picky about food. You can choose our melon hot pot, Ba hot pot, or Commander hot pot."
"...Okay, I'll arrange it."
"No problem, just send me the time."
The call between Zhang Yudong and Gu Lu ended and they hung up.
"Octopus, this Brother Zulu, could it be that Gu Lu?!" Zhuo Feng's eyes widened. He didn't even make a strange sound during the call just now because he was so shocked inside!
That’s Gu Lu! Gu Lu is always on TV and in newspapers. Even though the other person is the same age as himself, Zhuo Feng still feels that there is a gap between people from two worlds.
This feeling is similar to... when ordinary students see child stars, they are obviously the same age, but they don't think they are the same person at all.
"Otherwise, what do you think? I told you that Brother Zhulu and I are brothers!" Zhang Yudong spoke firmly.
In the past, Zhuo Feng really didn't believe it at all, but now... he completely believes it. Gu Lu called and offered to invite him to dinner, and he even ordered it based on the taste of the octopus. What's the relationship? !
"Ahem...Brother Dong, can you call me for dinner," Zhuo Feng said.
“Whatever I ask you to do is not a guest.” Zhang Yudong said.
"I don't want to eat. I will leave as soon as I meet you." Zhuo Feng said, "The main thing is that I want to meet the big boss."
"What a big boss, Gu Lu is just like an ordinary person, with two eyes and one mouth, and his appearance is about 50% similar to mine." Zhang Yudong was really polite, after all, he considered himself a school boy.
"How can he be like ordinary people, who published a book and appeared on TV at the age of sixteen, and won't win the Nobel Prize for Literature when he is twenty-six years old!" Zhuo Feng said, "Such a big shot, definitely I want to see it!”
Zhuo Feng’s words reflect that in the eyes of ordinary students, Gu Lu is no different from the child star on TV.
Time passed quickly with the sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper. Gu Lu finished writing all the thirteen chapters of "Liao Zhai Xin Yi" he had drawn and saved them first.
After all, the review of manuscripts in "People's Literature" takes two months at the latest and a little over a month at the earliest.
This weekend, Gu Lu was basically away from home for two days, busy shooting promotional videos outside.
In addition, there is good news. MM magazine has tasted the benefits and sent people to contact it. They want to translate "The Little Prince" and publish it in Neon.
“...Let me think about it, in Neon I copied Edogawa Rampo and Zhukawa Minato. The former is heavy flavor, the latter is supernatural and fantasy. Anyway, they are both adult-oriented, and then small Prince?" Gu Lu thought for a while, how could he not agree?
Gu Lu is currently negotiating the price with MM Magazine.
Another week has passed.
It’s Friday, it’s time to go out today——
King Gulu walked into the classroom and was surrounded by classmates, making loud noises.
But there were too many questions and it was hard to hear. I could only choose one person’s voice to listen to.
"Publishing three books at once must have some special writing skills!"
"Brother, do you think there is a possibility? I will say it is possible. There are two books. I had serialized it in the magazine before.”
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"It is possible. One of them has been serialized in "Time Mystery" for a long time, and you have all seen it. The other is a collection of short stories written by me, which contains only The two stories are new.”
The above dialogue comes from the dialogue between Li Guyuan and Gu Lu.
As we all know, Li Guyuan writes very slowly, and sometimes it takes even one or two months to write an article.
Looking at Li Guyuan's thirst for knowledge with golden eyes, Gu Lu quickly explained clearly.
