Chapter 232: The End of Flat Country (5000 words)
[President Jian: Finally, Xiao Gu, I feel that your skill in naming is inconsistent, "Who Touched My Ciba" ...It’s considered a low point. ]
Slander, Chi Guoguo’s slander! The reason why Gu Lu replaced the cheese with glutinous rice cakes was because he wanted to make it more local and closer to life.
"Is it possible that "Eight Kinds" is really ugly?" The confident Gu Lu was a little shaken, remembering the name of the school magazine he had chosen.
How about just calling it "Dawn"?
This ordinary name comes from the second part of the school comic club's "Campus Chronicles of No. 8 Middle School".
Last year’s school anniversary, the comics club made a comic based on a popular figure in the school. Gu Lu did not exist. In the second part, he was one of the protagonists and was nicknamed "Dawn Sword" Gu Lu.
When Tian Xiao told him about this, Gu Lu still felt that the nickname "Dawn Sword" was too low.
“I’m hungry—go get something to eat first.” When Gu Lu went to the cafeteria, many of the good dishes were gone. He had to make do with what he had to eat, so why would he need a bicycle?
Returning to the social office again, Gu Lu tidied himself up. There was no one else in the room, and Ge You collapsed on the sofa.
"When the Human Stars Shine"
"After School"
"Selected Short Stories by Aimee"
"A Bouquet for Algernon"
< br>"Who Touched My Cheese"
"Currently, there are five works, which have not been published."
Among the five works, "Selected Short Stories of Aimee" is arranged in the third year of high school or freshman year. As a work of the French short story saint, both ideological and literary Shen, Gu Lu has just turned to literature through Mr. Wang's works, so he has to go slowly.
Algernon's words will be published as soon as he takes the time this year. The cheese book was written by Uncle Jian, and Gu Lu was told to eat enough.
The remaining two books are not suitable and have been shelved for the time being. There are many works, but Gu Lu still feels that there are few.
Especially the small goal that Gu Lu set for himself, "to become a nationally famous short story writer", is simply impossible to reach at a glance.
"Currently, the gap is still a bit far. After the short story collection "Yesterday's Park" was released, the reputation has not improved. Even though the Douban score is relatively high, it has the best reputation among the new short story collections released this year."
Book publishing. If it doesn't work, then Gu Lu will change his mind. If he wants to become a master of short stories, in addition to leaving everything to time, he also has to wait to be selected for teaching materials and purchased by film and television.
The only way left is to win the prize.
"In terms of popular novels, "Science Fiction World" helped me sign up for the Science Fiction Galaxy Award. The supporting two parts and rural teachers are both world-class, so I should have no problem winning."
except In addition, Gu Lu plans to register himself to compete for the Pu Songling Short Story Award.
The most authoritative short story awards, the Lu Xun Literary Award and the Times Literary Award, may currently be out of reach.
Both items require nominations from newspapers and publishing houses, and self-recommendations from authors are not accepted.
"There are too many excellent works in "People's Literature", so I probably won't submit my work." Gu Lu's influence is still limited, not to mention the editorial department of People's Literature, and now Lianchuan Provincial Literature The editorial department has no influence.
In this regard, Mo Huaiqi, the vice chairman of the Wudu Writers Association, has greater influence. Gu Lu currently needs not only works, but also time.
“My excellent works are not enough!” Gu Lu felt that he needed to participate in more things in order to trigger more works.
At present, campus activities are triggered more frequently, and 80% of the works come from schools.
By the way, "The Little Prince" was nominated for the National Outstanding Children's Literature Award. President Jian helped register for two consecutive years. Last year's best short story "Smashing the Piggy" was not selected, and this year it continues to compete for the best. Long story.
"By the way, is there any way to get the work selected in the paper?" Gu Lu remembered that part of the work "Rural Classroom on Earth" was excerpted as extracurricular reading comprehension for the paper.
Gu Lu spent the entire noon leisure time in the social office planning his next step. Now he is less than two years away from adulthood.
Many things require patience.
To be honest, Gu Lu now has millions in savings, but he can only hide it. According to the advice of lawyer Wang Shengxing, there is no need to argue with his parents when he is a minor.
"Did Mother Gu come to call me because she saw how much money I made?" Gu Lu was currently using the most evil possibility to speculate about his parents, who said that his parents were not human beings at all.
He does not hope to have any intersection at all. Whenever the other party does something, he is ready to fully expose the treatment he received on the Internet...
In the afternoon, there is a light rain in the sky. , there are students walking in the rain on the ground.
To use the description of "Literary Master" Zeng Jie: God is spitting at us, telling us that it is not a good time to study today.
Zeng Jie fulfilled his promise. Because he answered the phone twice in class, he was forced to stand in the corridor by the chemistry teacher, taking his deskmate with him.
“I hate Gong Hanbao so much. He speaks loudly and makes me stand.” Zeng Jie whispered, “I will be divided into different classes next semester. I will tolerate you for another half year!”
“ Our innovation class is divided into two classes, and the changes are very small. As for the lineup of our class, there are a lot of physical chemistry and biology + a small amount of art and physical education. "My classmate revealed, "The class next door has a lot of physical chemistry and politics + a small amount of art and physical education. Our innovation class can all join the class.”
Zeng Jie’s head was full of questions, and he was shocked, “Our class is not divided into arts and sciences? Who did you hear that?”
This can also explain why Teacher Gao asked students to write time capsules at the beginning of the school year, but they were still in the same class three years later.
"Do you still want to speak while standing in the corridor? Zeng Jie, if you still want to speak, just stand on the playground." The chemistry teacher's roar came from the classroom. Don't say anything. When you are angry, you don't have a big tongue.
When the sky falls, there is a tall man holding it up. This is because the tablemate was not named. After all, Zeng Jie, the steamed bun, is here if he wants to talk.
There is reason to suspect that the late decline of No. 8 Middle School and its loss to No. 3 Middle School and Bashu are related to the innovative spirit of the school leaders. Look at this magical arrangement...
It must be explained that this kind of magical Innovation classes are not a specialty of Fog City. They are only available in No. 8 Middle School and a few private high schools.
After class, the chemistry teacher was still angry and called Zeng Jie to the office. Yes, he only called Zeng Jie.
This story tells us, don’t be the first person.
Gu Lu stood up and moved his limbs. It was raining outside and he didn't want to go out for a walk.
But the little raindrops couldn't extinguish the heat in the high school students' chests, so they all ran out one by one.
"Master, this is this week's homework." Qi Caiwei took out the composition book and a set of books from her schoolbag.
One more thing, Qi Caiwei changed a schoolbag last week. Before, her schoolbag was a very ordinary black bag. Now it seemed to be from some anime, and Gu Lu didn't recognize it.
"Does it look good?" Gu Lu glanced at a set of "Divine Comedy", two or three pieces a week. Gu Lu had read dozens of pieces and was getting used to it.
Habit means that both of them are used to it. After all, Qi Caiwei’s composition scores have improved significantly. In fact, she can stop writing about her thoughts after reading.
“It’s not as beautiful as expected. Although it is relevant to the times, it is called the Four Great Classical Classics in Europe. The content alone is a bit unworthy of the name.” Qi Caiwei replied, “Our four great Chinese classics also have their times. Sex, but the story and content are both interesting.”
“The Divine Comedy is really not about story, but about ideas and groundbreaking work,” Gu Lu said. Among the four major European classics, as far as his personal preference is concerned, Hamlet is his favorite.
Gu Lu waited for his review, but this time Qi Caiwei hesitated for a moment.
"I read a lot about the theme of the Divine Comedy on the Internet, but when I read this book, I thought of something completely different, so it might not be good." Qi Caiwei said the reason for his hesitation.
Oh! Gu Lu was serious, "Are you saying that this post-reading review was completely written by you based on your thoughts?"
"That's probably the case, so it may not have an end point, it may be confusing, and it may be worse. ..." Qi Caiwei continuously belittled her own works and lowered the other party's expectations.
"Don't say it. I will judge it myself." Gu Lu said, "However, this is the first time that I don't care about other people's opinions at all. I write completely from my own thoughts, no matter what I write. Okay.”
Although he knew it was impolite to say this, Gu Lu had a thought in his heart that his naughty child had finally grown up?
Isn’t it a bit daddy? Gu Lu actually paid attention to this. Since the last incident, he has been paying special attention to this point. He cannot just think that because he has lived for more than ten years, he understands many truths.
[Dante's two women, Beatrice and Dante's wife...]
Beatrice is Dante's first love, and in "The Divine Comedy" Beatrice Trizzy is the angel in heaven, the only being who can connect with his soul. Her status in the book is second only to God.
As for Mrs. Dante, Qi Caiwei did not find the specific name. She gave birth to six children for Dante, among whom Dante’s favorite daughter was named Beatrice...
This approach may not be a kind of dog-licking behavior. After all, what you can’t get is the best.
Gu Lu thought that the next second, Qi Caiwei would start calling Dante a scumbag, but no, the rest of her content was to discuss whether Beatrice would like to be recorded as an angel by Dante.
And how would Mrs. Dante feel if she saw "The Divine Comedy" and knew the causes and consequences. Gu Lu has read "The Divine Comedy" and honestly has no impression of it. He only remembers the famous lines in it. Now reading Qi Caiwei's review, he has recalled a lot of the content.
Original text:
［“Beatrice, the true praiser of God, why don’t you save the one who loves you so much and left because of you? Where are you from the mediocre crowd? ”
The extremely holy Beatrice may not know Dante's feelings for her at all, let alone that Dante wrote the immortal "Divine Comedy" for her. So how should she respond to this feeling?
……]
“Why do you write this review from this perspective? Isn’t Dante’s magnificent imagination of hell unattractive?” Gu Lu asked after reading it.
“It’s not good, right.” Qi Caiwei said immediately, “I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I don’t have any literary skills in my mind, so the things I see are relatively oblique.”
Dialect apostrophe = poor.
"We'll talk about it in a little while. First, tell me why you got such a review." Gu Lu said.
“I learned some of the background of Dante’s writing before watching it, and then while watching it, I unconsciously felt a lot of pressure, being treated as a soul-saver by a man who never knew or cared about it. Angel, just thinking about it makes me very stressed." Qi Caiwei said.
“Your empathy is so strong.” Gu Lu sighed.
"Is it bad for me to do this?" Qi Caiwei carefully waited for the master to pronounce the verdict.
"As a review, this article is not good because it focuses more on the creative background of "The Divine Comedy" and has little to do with the content of the original work." Gu Lu said, "But your thinking is very good , everyone is walking on the road, which is spacious and has mountains and water on the roadside. ”
"Only a few people walk on the trails, and the flowers and plants on the trails are also a good scenery." Gu Lu said, "Even because there are very few people walking on the trails, these kind of people are very precious."
"!!" Qi Caiwei After hearing this, he changed from a good-looking and elegant high school student to a silly and happy student.
After having fun for a while, Qi Caiwei packed up the "Divine Comedy" and the composition book. She said, "Is it a good thing to have your own ideas?"
"It is a good thing." Gu Lu affirmed respond.
“Sometimes it’s nice to not have my own ideas. When I have some ideas, two voices are fighting in my head, which makes people very uncomfortable.” Qi Caiwei didn’t know why she sighed like this.
Her expression couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy.
Ding Ding——
[Popular Science Masterpiece] [Serious Nonsense] [The First Book of Space] synthesized "Flatland", and I didn't even bother to read the subsequent details.
To be honest, Gu Lu was very happy every time the synthesis list was triggered. Regardless of whether it could be used or not, it meant that he had a trump card in his hand, not to mention that "Flatland" was a work that Gu Lu wanted very much.
But this time Gu Lu's happy mood was concealed because Qi Caiwei had not come twice on Wednesday.
It was also his judgment that it was better to let his classmates learn to think for themselves, and Qi's mother happened to think so about his actions.
According to Qi Caiwei’s family, is it better to leave CC without any ideas?
Look, after my deskmate awakened his consciousness, he was obviously not as happy as last semester.
"Ma Dan, did I do something wrong? Now I understand the value of "The Little Prince", [but you must not forget. You must always be responsible for what you tame], this book The writing is really good." Gu Lu himself is also a thoughtful person.
In the next two classes in the afternoon, Gu Lu kept thinking about this issue. Even when he came home from school, he kept walking in the rain...
After returning home and sitting on the sofa, the chill in his hair brought Gu Lu back to his senses.
"Take a shower, take a shower right away, what if you catch a cold." Gu Lu still cherishes his body.
The bathroom, especially the one with the splashing nozzle, is especially suitable for thinking. Gu Lu would let the water from the nozzle drip all his life when he was writing Internet essay cards.
The reason why there is such a miraculous effect should be related to the fact that wearing nothing is easier to achieve the unity of nature and man...
"Tomorrow, ask the person concerned what he thinks, the opinion of the person concerned is the most important .”
The above is the conclusion King Guru came up with in the bathroom.
Until now, Gu Lu has begun to study "Flatland", which he wrote during his afternoon conversation with Qi Caiwei.
There is a country called Flat Country. In this country, everything is flat, the land is flat, the mountains and rivers are flat, and even the people are flat: the poorest and humblest ones are Isosceles Among triangles, the noblest is the circle, and the most terrifying is the straight line...
Why did the cautious Gu Lu write a mathematics popular science novel even though he knew he was anxious about his science scores? Because this book involves Mathematics knowledge is from elementary school to junior high school. Junior high school is absolutely top notch.
The content of the book describes house construction, walking rules, gender judgment, and even class struggle in Flatland.
"This book is really a magical book!"
After finishing one thing after another, Gu Lu decided to finish the remaining 10,000 to 20,000 words of "A Bouquet for Algernon" today.
Gu Lu himself discovered that the frequency of synthesizing books has become faster recently. That is because he knows what books are.
So people who have the dream of being a copycat must read more books, otherwise if they encounter this triggering golden finger after time travel, they will have some autonomy.
The crackling sound of the keyboard and the sound of raindrops outside the window merged into a "symphony".
At about nine o'clock, news came from the Penguin.
[Liu Yong: Teacher Gu, if you have new works, you can send them directly to my private box. ]
A very fresh way of reminding updates.
Gu Lu thought for a moment and submitted three more rewritten stories from the past, namely "Niu Fei", "Ming Ming Guan" and "Huang Ying".
In fact, it is quite a coincidence. The reason why Wang Zengqi wrote "Liaozhai Xinyi" on earth was because the editor-in-chief of People's Literature at that time specially invited the manuscript. Gu Lu also completed the closure at this time.
"My hand hurts a little while typing." Gu Lu rubbed his wrist and rested for now.
"Just in time, I've signed up."
Thinking of this, Gu Lu was going to submit his manuscript to the Pu Songling Short Story Award's mailbox.
[Title of work: "Double Lanterns", "Rainy Clouds", "Niu Fei"...
Author: Gu Lu
Whether to be published in newspapers and magazines: Yes
(Published in the April 2013 issue of "People's Literature")]
Fill in according to the requirements of the organizing committee.
To ordinary readers, this award is not well-known at all. Looking at the name, they thought it was some far-fetched Pheasant Award.
In fact, it is quite valuable in the industry. Just look at the award-winning works every year. The authors are Chen Zhongshi, Jia Pingwa, Su Tong, Acheng, Bi Feiyu, etc.
Because the award-winning author will probably win the Mao Dun Literature Award (Lu Xun Literature Award), it is regarded as a prospect for the award.
Gu Lu has become much more proactive. From making an appointment with Zhang Yudong to try to trigger the situation, to signing up for literary awards, he is always proactive.
"Your name is Pu Songling Short Story Award, and it was established in the name of Pu Songling. I am rewriting Liaozhai, so don't I have a natural advantage?" Gu Lu wanted to open champagne to celebrate, but there was no wine at hand now, and He doesn't like to drink either.
Let’s squeeze juice to celebrate. Gu Lu passed by the mall last week and saw a discount on a juicer, and was fooled by the salesman. He drank a glass of juice every day. It is healthy and nutritious for the stomach, so he paid for it. Purchased.
These days have passed, this is the second time I have used the juicer, the first time was the day I bought it.
He didn't open the champagne at halftime, but opened the champagne at the beginning, and he didn't know if it would overturn...
On the other side, Liu Yong received the email and smiled.
“There are so many news on the Internet saying that Gu Lujiang has exhausted his talents. This is a slap in the face.” Liu Yong thought this way. He was thinking about the next issue of "People's Literature", which everyone in the circle can see. Gu Not only did Lu fail to use up his talents, but he jumped directly to the most prestigious magazine in China.
Because Liu Yong liked the writing style of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" very much, he read "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" again.
Of course, I can’t wait until I get to work tomorrow, so I read it right away, “Niu Fei? I remember that Niu Fei’s original text in Liaozhai is only two to three hundred words long. How can I change this?”
As the name suggests, Niu Fei means that an old farmer bought a cow and then dreamed that the cow flew away. Afraid that the nightmare would come true, he sold it directly the next day. Worried about losing the money, he wrapped it in a handkerchief and wrapped it around his arm. On the way back, he bumped into an eagle eating. Seeing that the eagle was docile, the farmer got greedy and tied it up with a handkerchief. The eagle's claws relaxed for a moment, and the eagle flew away together with the money for selling the cow.
The story sounds very simple, short and concise. If you were given the newly created "power", what would be your approach?
Anyway, Mr. Wang Zengqi’s article is like this——
