Chapter 252: Witch’s Delivery Service?
"Classmate Gu Lu went to Neon to hold a book signing, and his work "The Little Prince" was translated into Japanese." Principal Chang said.
For ordinary students, the principal does not need to know when they ask for leave, but when Gu Lu asked for leave, the school leaders all knew about it.
Mr. Zhang said nothing, but his face showed disappointment.
"How long will it take to return to China?" Deputy Director Shi asked again. Feeling that the way he asked the question was wrong, he added, "Student Gu Lu is an outstanding student in this city. It is safe and secure to go abroad alone." No guarantee? ”
"As for student safety, we have a dedicated person in charge." The non-existent dedicated person that Principal Chang mentioned was Director Hu.
Fortunately for Director Hu who was pulled out to take the blame, he really cared enough to ask about the situation of the class teacher in Class 10.
"Our domestic children's publishing house has connected with Neon's Xiangchuan Publishing House, and Gu Lu also called the class teacher to report that he was safe." Director Hu said, "There is no problem in terms of safety. "
"Yes." Mr. Zhang nodded and said nothing more.
He came to Fog City from Sijiu City and wanted to take a look at Gu Lu, the genius of Fog City.
From Mr. Zhang's perspective, being able to write "The Little Prince" is nothing, but getting into People's Literature is like drinking water, and he also won the Pu Songling Short Story Award.
The Pu Songling Literature Award is the foresight of the Lu Xun Literature Award. Even if the latter cannot be won, the former alone has set a record as the youngest person.
Do you understand that feeling?
Originally, I was on the way, but I couldn’t see it, so I was quite unhappy... Mr. Zhang had seen strong winds and waves, and he didn’t show any other emotions on his face.
"Okay, the basketball club and volleyball club are both good, but your No. 8 Middle School must ensure the safety of students." Deputy Director Shi said.
Principal Chang felt keenly that the attitudes of the two leaders seemed to have changed a bit. Deputy Shi's words changed from "our No. 8 Middle School" to "your No. 8 Middle School."
Mr. Zhang did not meet the "Fog City Genius" by the way, and Deputy Director Shi did not show off the "genius students" in his jurisdiction.
"Director Zhang, do you want to see the students in class?" Deputy Director Shi asked.
"Let's go and have a look." Although Mr. Zhang came to inspect sports, the most important thing in high school is study, which needs to be comprehensively reviewed.
Although Gu Lu's absence does not affect the final inspection result. After all, whether it can succeed or not depends largely on the need for such a title in key high schools in municipalities.
But Principal Chang and Director Hu stayed with him all afternoon, and they were frightened. If you want to lead, is it better to talk and laugh, or be silent?
The mood of the school leaders can be expressed in a lyric, "Come back soon, I can't bear it alone. Come back soon, life will be wonderful because of you..."
Next time If there is a similar inspection, we must try our best to ensure that Xiao Gu is in school, Director Hu said heartily.
This is not the time for random thoughts, but Director Hu can't help but admire Principal Chang's decisiveness.
When enrolling students last year, Gu Lu was not as outrageous as he is now. Bashu Middle School was more attentive at that time, but Principal Chang tried to raise the salary against all objections. At that time, the vice principal was quite critical, thinking that this was a bad rule...
In the words of later generations of the Internet, it is called, Principal Chang captured the wealth that poured out of the sky!
It wasn’t until evening self-study that the teacher and classmates twisted the clockwork several times before it was loosened.
The clouds are floating.
The original marshmallow flavor in the sky has become orange flavor.
Many students felt tired, stretched themselves, and wanted to pick orange-flavored marshmallows, but the "sweetness" was too far away for high school students.
"You performed well today." Director Hu approached Teacher Gao before evening self-study.
"Huh?" Teacher Gao was confused.
"Today the leaders came for a random inspection and then visited Class 10. The classroom environment is very good and the leaders are quite satisfied." Director Hu said, "Of all the teachers, you are the only one who stands out."
< br>Why me? Teacher Gao was a little confused. There were several special teachers in No. 8 Middle School. Regardless of their qualifications, what stood out was...oh, there was a bomb in Class 10.
Looking at Teacher Gao's expression, Director Hu also knew that the other party had understood, "Xiao Gu is in Class 10, so there will definitely be many opportunities to show off."
"But!" Director Hu's tone was a little more serious, "Opportunities are opportunities, but you must be able to grasp them."
"I understand, Director Hu." Teacher Gao nodded.
"Well - Xiao Gu is alone in a foreign country and is not familiar with the place. As the class teacher, Teacher Gao should be more careful and make sure it is safe. After all, we are students of No. 8 Middle School. After leaving school, we also have Responsible." Director Hu said it in a cliché.
Needless to say, Teacher Gao will pay attention to this. After the home visit, he will send rice dumplings, mooncakes and other things to his students.
I even brought a New Year’s Eve dinner during the Chinese New Year last year.
Seriously speaking, Teacher Gao does not spend as much thought on his family as he does on school...
"I know Director Hu." Teacher Gao responded.
"That's alright, I won't delay Teacher Gao anymore." Director Hu left. He came to tell him again to pay attention to Xiao Gu's safety.
Teacher Gao stood still for a moment, never thinking that Gu Lu's absence in the class would bring benefits to her.
However, a person’s influence becomes more intuitive only after he leaves.
On the third day after Gu Lu left, the name was still mentioned from time to time in class.
“Sometimes I really envy Brother Zhulun. At such a young age, he may be more wonderful than I am in my life.” Lu Ping.
“It’s more exciting than my dad’s life for most of his life.” Ma Xuanyou.
"What's this? It's more exciting than my grandfather's life." Zeng Jie didn't think twice and immediately added.
I thought about it later and corrected myself, "It seems not as exciting as my grandpa. My grandpa had many stories when he was young..."
He does not belong to the Jianghu in China, but there are legends about him in the Jianghu.
Abroad is the true creation of legends.
On the night of the autograph session, Gu Lu News was available on Neon’s forum, as well as NHK online news station, Yahoo and JNN Japan News Network, etc.
Although it is not the headline.
But literary and artistic news is inherently less eye-catching than news about entertainment circles and political circles.
"Gu Lu's first autograph session was crowded with everyone! ! 》
《Cultural idol Gu Lu, why is he so popular? 》
《Prodigy VS Genius duel, Gu Lu narrowly defeated Tanai Maru》
“Want to know more? Go to TV and find out, he puts everything on it"
……
The next day, many print media were added. In fact, it is the Hitotsubashi media behind Shodensha that is the main force.
Coupled with other media following the trend, a trend was formed, and some people even named it the "Prince Trend".
It is a characteristic of neon people that they can even name any stationery that is popular.
There is so much news, it is not necessary to list them all. Let’s just pick the interesting news.
Pick an interesting one and just say "Want to know more? Go find out on TV, he puts it all on it".
This news comes from "Weekly Bunshun" and has the subtitle "Horikita Maki's experiences and opinions on Gu Lu."
[...
Gu Lu said: "The Little Prince" is one of my favorite movies On the one hand, on the other hand, I can look forward to Fuji TV’s concept for my work.
No matter what the current "prince craze" is, what really makes Gu Lu stand out in our country is his amazing talent in short stories. Science fiction, supernatural, mystery, Gu Lu has no shortcomings!
The excellent film and television work "Wonderful Stories of the World" has reached a cooperation with Gu Lu, and four works will be adapted.
...
An interview, "Iron Pillar" starring Horikita Maki's first impression of Gu Lu.
Maki Horikita said: "Although Mr. Gu Lu is young, you can still feel that he is very knowledgeable when you come into contact with him. He seems to have the maturity of an adult and has his own opinions on everything. And In the limited conversation with Teacher Gu Lu, you can't lead the topic at all, you can only follow Teacher Gu Lu's rhythm. "...]
The interesting thing is that what Horikita Maki said is all nonsense. The only time they met was at the writing conference, the two did not communicate at all.
As an actor, that's it, you talk to people and talk to ghosts.
Readers also love to read Horikita Maki's conclusive words when facing reporters. This is in line with their imagination of a talented writer.
After another promotion, the sales volume of "The Prince of That Time" plummeted, and many bookstores were sold out.
The 100,000 pieces of the second seal are also gone.
Four-day sales exceeded an astonishing 200,000. Even for an island country where the physical industry is still strong, this achievement is very shocking!
When Vice President Yukou contacts Gu Lu, he must have three seals!
It’s easier to get things done once you’re famous. It took several months for "The Little Prince" to break through 200,000 copies in China, but it still had Yu Xin Yao's blessing.
Gu Lu’s deposit has been doubled!
Slow, steady, Gu Lu kept telling himself. The stamp duty is only a small amount of money. When the little prince accumulates global influence, the copyright fee will be the bulk of it in more than ten years.
Even so, Gu Lu couldn't hold back and spent a lot of money.
You’re here now, so it’s time to bring some souvenirs back!
"Let me think about it, Jiayu should like this, it looks good."
"Hahahaha, why is there such a stupid thing? If you buy it, you must give it to Zhou Lin."
"One Piece seems to be the only anime that Li Guyuan watches, so it should be no problem to make a small figure."
"There seems to be something wrong with Neon's cosmetics, which will be revealed later. A lot of harm. Forget it, choose something else for Teacher Gao.”
"Uncle Li and Aunt Li, bring them some food back to try."
"Uncle Jian, you have seen strong winds and waves, and you should go abroad frequently, so you should be careful when choosing gifts."
Wait.
When buying gifts for his classmates, Gu Lu had a clue in his mind that he would not choose something too expensive. Mainly for the elders to use, Gu Lu also kept a small notebook to avoid missing anyone.
The most expensive gift of all is probably what I brought to Nuxia Gu.
When he arrived, Gu Lu was very smart and just carried a bag.
But when we left, there was an extra box.
The medium-sized box is almost not big enough.
"Tired means a bit tired, but from another perspective, does it mean that there are more people who care about you?" Gu Lu picked up the suitcase and suddenly said in a neon way, "Damn it, this Is it just a bond? It’s so heavy!”
After shopping for a long time, I slept very hard at night.
The fifth day of arriving at Neon.
Lu Fanhui’s second attempt was successful!
Everyone applauded to celebrate.
Anyway, it was a great victory against Natsuhiko Kyogoku, Kazuma Anzan, and Eiko Kadono.
At present, Natsuhiko Kyogoku's "Hundred Stories of Alley Stories" is selling well, and he is already preparing his second book, "The Summer of the Bird."
Needless to say, Anshan's comic sales were so good that the two of them were not short of money and chose a very high-end restaurant.
Building No. 7, Tsukiji 4-chome 6, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, if you ask the neon people who have a little knowledge of literature, they will call it out by name.
To be honest, Gu Lu felt that these neon people respected him too much and were not used to it.
The people from the TV station are doing these three translations to promote Shiqi and Yasuda? Gu Lu believed that being courteous for nothing was either adultery or theft.
"Kaiseki cuisine, isn't it slower?" Gu Lu said casually.
One dish after another, Eiko Kadono was still explaining what to pay in advance, eight inches, cover, etc. Gu Lu didn't want to know, so it went in with his left ear and came out with his right ear, so he couldn't hear anything.
Gu Lu was feeling full after watching the discs and suspected that this was a conspiracy. It makes the diners feel as if they are full, which is similar to the way he used to switch to smaller bowls to lose weight.
“It’s relatively slow.” Eiko Kadono said, “The serving time of each dish in Kaiseki cuisine is fixed, and the emphasis is on: not to tempt with aroma, but to create a state of mind.”
< br>It’s just to whet your appetite! Gu Lu was a bit rustic and couldn't understand it at all.
“The taste of Xinxi Le is very good, and the location is also full of culture. I want to match Mr. Gu Lu.” Kyogoku Natsuhiko said.
What's going on? Are there any great writers producing in the box? Gu Lu's imagination was wide open.
"The Akutagawa Ryunosuke Prize and the Naoki Thirty-Five Prize are both awarded on the second floor of this store." Kyogoku Natsuhiko said.
Huh? Gu Lu knew about these two awards. The former was the highest award for Neon pure literature, and the latter was the highest award for Neon popular novels.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Gu Lu instantly felt that the food in the black plate tasted a little better.
The emotional value of food is also considered taste.
"This kind of place costs you money." Gu Lu said, with such a big background, it must not be cheap.
Kyogoku Natsuhiko and Anzan Kazuma immediately put down their chopsticks and responded.
"Without the new urban legend writing method created by Teacher Gu Lu, my "Hundred Stories" would not be what it is now. Respecting the teacher is what I should do."
"Gu Teacher Lu was willing to hand over the adaptation copyright of "The Human Chair" to me, who had no reputation, no experience, and could only work on credit. I will always remember this kindness. "
The latter sounds better than the former. Be more sincere. At least that's what Gu Lu heard.
While we were talking, the main course arrived, which is also the highlight of Kaiseki cuisine (しい·ざかな), a steak of about 150g.
As Gu Lu ate, there were still eight minutes left before the next generation dish "Royal Rice". This is unscientific. If he wants to take a bite of rice and beef, he has to wait for a few minutes.
He ate well, but the only woman present, 27-year-old Eiko Kadono, did not eat well. She moved her chopsticks carefully, as if she was trying to adjust them to the right position, making sure there was no mistake.
Finally mustered up the courage -
"Teacher Gu Lu, I gained a lot of insights from translating "The Little Prince" and created a work." Eiko Kadono said, "Please The teacher corrected me.”
Kadono Eiko's words seemed so familiar... Gu Lu felt as if he had heard them somewhere.
However, Gu Lu was soon attracted by the Chinese manuscript "Kiki's Delivery Service".
What the hell, Kiki’s Delivery Service? Isn’t this a Hayao Miyazaki anime movie? Gu Lu looked at Kadono Eiko.
He has already conducted some cognitive investigation into the parallel world. This world does not have Mamoru Oshii, but it also has Hayao Miyazaki.
"Is it the one I know? Or the same name." Gu Lu stuffed the remaining small piece of beef into his mouth and started reading.
[Everyone has his own innate characteristics, and in the end he will be able to overcome all the hardships. ]
[Growth is a transaction. We all exchange simple innocence and untouched whiteness for the courage to grow up. ]
When you see the paragraph about numbers, you’re right!
Gu Lu did a little search on his mobile phone, and it turned out that Hayao Miyazaki had not produced this anime movie yet.
Awesome! But Gu Lu couldn't see at all what the relationship between Kiki's Delivery Service and the little prince was...
"A very good fairy tale work. I look forward to the publication of this work." Gu Lu responded affirmatively.
Eiko Kadono smiled and said, "Really? Teacher Gu Lu?"
A master is a teacher. Gu Lu is young, but his recognition is, to Eiko Kadono, Also half an authority.
......
"Don't come to Neon, I'm too busy. If Mr. Holmes and Bingguo can be published, there will be no book signings."
Gu Lu sighed. He had a flight in the afternoon, but there were still people visiting him in the morning.
“I met Gu Sang late in China, and I know that Gu Sang is very busy, but I have a friend who is a die-hard fan of Gu Sang’s books and insists on my introduction.” Tadatoshi Fujimaki is like this. Said.
About half an hour later, cartoonist Fujimaki Tadoshi led a man in his thirties to the hotel where Gu Lu was staying.
"Teacher Gu Lu, this is my friend and a cartoonist. His name is Yuuto Fusuda."
