Chapter 254 Is this the idea? (8000 words)
“This is Neon’s children’s magazine “Red Rabbit” with the best sales and reputation.” Director Wang showed the magazine, “Many of the articles it has published have been selected into Neon primary and secondary school textbooks. ”
First of all, let me explain the importance of magazines.
Neon cannot be said to be very important in the Asian literary circle, but it is also one of the top three in Asia.
Director Wang also opened it, as if he wanted to further display the content. But the distance between the rostrum and the audience seats below is a division of status and a distance in a physical sense.
So when I open "Red Rabbit", most of the members can't see clearly. The average age is forty, and their eyesight is not that good.
The next second, Director Wang put the magazine on the table, "Japanese magazine, I asked Secretary Tian to tell us in detail——"
Standing Secretary-General Tian Mengge is proficient in six subjects Language, only 37 years old this year, is a talent.
It’s a bit strange. Isn’t it the “Sail Project”? Why did you suddenly mention children’s literature magazines?
There were dozens of people present, either members of the presidium or famous writers, none of them ordinary.
The Sailing Project is a plan implemented by the Writers Association and China Book Import and Export Company, which has promoted more than ten works to go overseas. There will be 80 copyright export contracts to follow, covering 26 languages.
Writers know what kind of works are being launched, there are no fairy tale works...
Chairman Tiening, Vice Chairman Mai Jia, Alai and others sat on the rostrum and said in one sentence Don't tell.
Obviously, they knew what Director Wang said.
“Red Rabbit has an ‘Antenna’ column, which conducts interviews with book editors, educators, fairy tale novelists, and officials from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.”
Tian Mengge has conducted an investigation.
"The interview in the last issue was with Manabu Sato, the leader of neon modern education innovation. And the interview in this issue is with our Chinese writer Gu Lu."
Gu Lu?
Some people are familiar with this name, such as Cao Wenxuan and Zheng Yuanjie. They met each other at the Sijiu City Writers Association meeting a few months ago.
Some people are unfamiliar with this name. For writers who can speak through their works, Gu Lu does not have many works currently.
"According to Chitu's habit, there will be two interviews, called [front interview] and [environment interview]." Tian Mengge interviewed.
The front lining is to interview the person involved in the incident, and the surrounding lining is to interview the views on hot events, which is quite particular.
Neon is like this, it likes to make its appearance very detailed.
"Why Gu Lu will become Miyazawa Kenji's successor"
"Genius' prophecy: Gu Lu asserts that the declining birthrate will become a mainstream issue"
Tian Mengge read out the titles of two interviews.
Miyazawa Kenji’s successor? This made Cao Wenxuan and Zheng Yuanjie look at each other, but quickly moved away. Both of them had disgust and contempt in their eyes, but Cao and Zheng didn't deal with it at all.
This person’s name is very familiar. He is the first Asian to win the International Andersen Fairy Tale Award.
[Since "The Prince of That Time" was translated and published, it has been reprinted 4 times.
It has had considerable influence in academia, journalism and political circles.
Miyazawa Kenji, who has not made any public remarks in three years, spoke out again and accepted an interview with "Literary Spring" magazine on May 8.
“Gu Lu is the best fairy tale novelist I have seen in recent years, bar none, but I didn’t want to talk about him when I was being interviewed today.”
“He is a fairy tale novelist. Genius, what I want to say today is that the food safety problem in our country is a very serious and huge problem.”
“The spiritual world of children is taken care of by excellent juniors. As a senior, I need to take care of the reality of children. . ”
“In 2006, Fujiya used expired milk, and in 2007, Shiroi Koibito tampered with the tasting date. Both of them are famous candy giants in the world.”
"Provide candy to children all over the world..."]
In the middle is a large condemnation of Miyazawa Kenji, and Secretary-General Tian Mengge read it all.
But we don’t need to expose them all.
Because Kenji Miyazawa’s criticisms were all directed at Neon Enterprises.
Conclusion ["Although we may not have the candy we want, we can still taste the clear breeze and drink the peach-colored morning sun." Although I wrote this in "Night on the Galaxy Railway", I don't Hopefully the candy that represents a child’s joy is tainted.
Following Kenji Miyazawa's speech, the stock prices of Fujiya and Shiroi Koibito plummeted, and that day was called "Black Candy Day."
To a certain extent, the birth of "Black Candy Day" is related to the release and publication of "The Prince of That Time". So, can Gu Lu, a child, take good care of the children's spiritual world? ]
The following is the editor's evaluation of "Red Rabbit" magazine. After talking about it, we can come to the conclusion that it is not possible.
There are two reasons. Gu Lu is not a full-time fairy tale novelist. Secondly, the specialization of neon society requires its own fairy tale novelist.
Tian Mengge finished reading and then sat down.
"Our sailing plan is relatively successful, but we cannot be complacent!" Director Wang from the Creative Research Department of the Writers Association stood up.
He said: "The author alone has made more outstanding achievements in exporting his works overseas than us!"
The director said alone means that there is no support from an official organization. He didn't join the "Sail Project" either, so he was just a straggler.
That is indeed more eye-catching, everyone below nodded.
Even though "Red Rabbit" just concluded that Gu Lu cannot take good care of the children's spiritual world. But if you think about it, being able to discuss it is already a success!
For example, readers discuss the number of updates? Would you compare a big orange with an eagle? Won't!
“I knew “The Little Prince” would be successful, but I didn’t expect it to be so successful.” Cao Wenxuan sighed.
“It seems that Gu Lu is not a member of the National Writers Association yet, right?” Cao Wenxuan planned to serve as a recommender.
The icing on the cake, many people are happy to do it.
“Next, our Writers Association will hold a [Children’s Reading Club], a national event, with the cooperation of the education department and the publicity department. I also hope that all comrades in our association will support it.” Director Wang added.
At this point in the conversation, everyone present knew what was going on. The National Children's Reading Association will definitely select "The Little Prince" into its catalog and then include Gu Lu.
The influence of "The Prince of That Time" in Neon's conquest of cities and territories can be turned into the political achievements of the "Sail Project".
Win-win! It is also a win for Gu Lu. It is included in the national promotion and the sales volume will increase by at least 200,000 copies.
Tie Ning, chairman of the Writers Association, spoke, "The list of recommended books for the children's reading club can now be recommended."
22 books were drawn up at today's meeting.
There are eleven books each for primary school level and junior high school level.
[Elementary school: "Brainless and Unhappy", "Franz's Story", "The Story of Lu Xixi"...]
[Junior High School: "Thin Rice", "Peking Opera Masks", "Three "The Wanderings of Mao" and "The Little Prince"...]
Foreign works account for one-third.
Many of the remaining two-thirds are works by the writers present.
There were only three fairy tale novel writers present, and their works were all on the list. For example, Ren Rongrong is thoughtless, but Mr. Ren is actually better at translating fairy tales.
His translations of Peter Pan, Pippi Longstocking, Pushkin's Fairy Tales, The Onion and other famous fairy tales from around the world are the most recommended.
This meeting will start from 2pm to 6pm.
Although everyone has a cup of tea in front of them, it is still quite hard to sit down for four hours.
"Secretary-General Tian, could you please lend me the magazine "Red Rabbit"""Can you give me the magazine you just read?"
Two male voices sounded in Tian Mengge's ears at the same time.
He raised his eyes and saw Cao Wenxuan and Zheng Yuanjie. These two people...
"You want to sell your works abroad? It's just a businessman's nature." Zheng Yuanjie sneered.
"I have a private communication with classmate Xiao Gu, so I care about him, and you?" Cao Wenxuan asked, "If you don't hurry up and protect your copyright, what time will you waste here."
Zheng Yuanjie said, "Every work of mine is carefully crafted by me and must be protected. This is the foundation of a literati. Businessmen must not understand the things of a literati!"
Cao Wenxuan and Zheng Yuanjie have been mortal enemies since 2006. The latter criticized Cao more than once for selling books by giving lectures to primary and secondary school students.
The conflict between the two is not limited to the Writers Association, but is basically known to the entire writers circle.
Okay, you two should start arguing slowly.
"I've put the magazine here. I have something to do in the secretary's office, so I'll leave first." After saying that, Tian Mengge left in a flash.
Zheng and Cao were left looking at each other with hostility.
In the end, it was Zheng Yuanjie who took away the magazine.
As expected, while sitting and watching the two people quarreling, Cao Wenxuan mostly stopped responding.
It’s unclear whether Cao couldn’t keep his mouth shut, or whether he suddenly shut up because of trouble, price drop, boredom, etc.
"Red Rabbit" was not published in China, so Zheng Yuanjie got it because he wanted to read about the topic of "fewer birthrates".
The secretary-general just read "front answer".
Zheng Yuanjie made an earth-shattering statement in 2000: "China's population may be 100 million in a hundred years."
Obviously, he is not optimistic about the country's fertility situation.
[Neon society has experienced a transformation from tradition to modernity, with profound changes in social structure, population structure, and family structure.
These changes not only reflect the trend of neon itself, but also provide important reference for other countries and regions to study social changes.
Gu Lu has conducted very in-depth research on the social book reviews of his own country and neighboring countries.
"Perhaps there will be a situation in the future where people will not have children even if they give people money and benefits."
"Developed countries in Asia are more likely to have this situation due to their geopolitical environment and domestic environment. I Speculation, I just speculate that the situation in South Korea is the most serious. South Korea may become the first country with a fertility rate that drops to 0.84 and enters super-aging.”
Analysis of the words of children’s writer Gu Lu. It can reflect the pessimistic psychological state of people in the 1995s.
……]
You can’t even give birth to money?
Will South Korea's fertility rate drop to 0.84?
Good guy! Zheng Yuanjie originally thought that his views were radical enough.
After all, when he said 100 million in a hundred years, he just wanted the officials to pay attention to the fact that mobile phone radiation can easily cause infertility.
But I didn’t expect that Gu Lu thought so from the bottom of his heart!
"If you have the opportunity, you must tell Xiao Gu that the copyright of the little prince must be well protected, and everything that should be registered must be registered." Zheng Yuanjie wanted to make friends.
It's not because of Gu Lu's fame. To put it bluntly, Zheng Yuanjie, who has been writing books for half his life, is far more famous than Gu Lu.
The main reason is that compared with Gu Lu, Zheng Yuanjie feels that he is a conservative...
The release of "Red Rabbit" can be said to have made Gu Lu's status in the hearts of writers change. further.
However, the feedback caused by the magazine was not great in China, but even greater in South Korea.
This magazine is available in Korean.
You can try to think about it, what kind of feedback will South Korea receive when they see this statement?
It is inappropriate to say that one stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Gu Lu was now blowing up the fish pond with TNT. Each commentator on current affairs had a face as white as the belly of the fish.
"Despicable Chinese people, he is a vicious curse" "Today's Internet joke: A children's writer said that we will enter super aging" "Our comprehensive fertility rate last year in 2012 was 1.30, the highest in nearly ten years The highest!" "Gu Lu? Why are there so many people spreading the words of a high school student?"...
There are not many people supporting Gu Lu's views in South Korea. ridicule.
Even in the past week or two, it has evolved into a joke, "that Chinese guy", which refers to Gu Lu in the special context of the Korean Internet and represents a person who talks nonsense.
The movement in South Korea did not affect Gu Lu at all.
Because Gu Lu didn't pay attention to the Korean Internet, he put on his small schoolbag and went out on Sunday afternoon.
More than an hour later, Gu Lu arrived at Laifeng Middle School.
Is the entrance to every school the same? There is a row of trolleys with starch sausage, crispy potatoes, fried food, etc.
"Laifeng Middle School Junior High School, what time does evening self-study start?" Gu Lu thought.
It is now past five o'clock, and the Sunday evening self-study is about to begin, so students are arriving one after another.
Day students also get a week’s pocket money.
Sunday afternoon is equivalent to a crazy Thursday in day school.
"Jia Jia recently asked you to hang out, why don't you have time?" Jiang Wenwen asked, "I went to the buffet alone and couldn't finish it!"
"I will review at home on Saturdays to prepare for the high school entrance examination, and I will start practicing this Wednesday." Gu Jiayu said, "Review at home."
The results of the city's unified mock test are also recognized by high schools.
“You have such good grades, why do you need to be so anxious?” Jiang Wenwen’s eyes widened, as if to say, why are you top academics still so anxious?
“I want to go to No. 8 Middle School, but my score is not good enough.” Gu Jiayu said.
"The Eighth Middle School... has great ambitions!" Jiang Wenwen could only say, "I really want to go to the Eighth Middle School!"
The first of the Dragon Balls in the Mist City, even a junior high school student would want to join it.
But Jiang Wenwen is not because the No. 8 Middle School has good teachers. She just said, "You can meet my Su Zhemu when you go to the No. 8 Middle School!" Early on, their minds are generally more mature than their male classmates.
"Besides, there are various clubs and performances at the school anniversary in No. 8 Middle School. This is my dream high school life." Jiang Wenwen spoke, her hands seeming to embrace the sky.
Oh! I remembered that Su Zhemu was the male protagonist of her brother's novel "Hingguo".
Little sister Jiang Wenwen likes this novel very much. For a while, her QQ signature was "Although I am not Fan Ru, I am also looking forward to a sweet love with my Su Zhemu."
"Jia "Jia, you have to work hard. For your brother's sake, you must get into the No. 8 Middle School." Jiang Wenwen suddenly felt discouraged. She was lively and active, and her mood changed greatly.
She said: "There is still a long way between me and No. 8 Middle School. It's up to you to enjoy my high school life!"
What the hell! Gu Jiayu's admission to No. 8 Middle School was indeed influenced by her brother, but the more important reason was her own thoughts. She wants to go to the best high school.
“Look, Jiajia, look, is that your writer brother?” Jiang Wenwen suddenly screamed.
"What?" Gu Jiayu looked in the direction of his finger.
Gu Lu carrying a small schoolbag.
Gu Jiayu left the little sister behind, took three steps and two steps at a time, flicked her high ponytail, and ran to her brother in a few seconds.
"Brother, why are you here?" Gu Jiayu asked.
"I just came back from Neon and brought you a gift." Gu Lu directly handed over the backpack.
"What gift?" Gu Jiayu pulled away and took a look inside, his eyes widening instantly.
“Do you like it?” Gu Lu asked.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." The heroine nodded.
That’s so nice. The gifts Gu Lu chooses may not be liked by all little girls. But this is a character Gu Jiayu will definitely like. The little best friend Jiang Wenwen next to me is so curious. If she eats the rubber fruit, she will definitely see it. It's a pity that she is in the form of a common person, who can only stretch her neck and stand honestly.
"As long as you like it, this seems to be a limited edition." Gu Lu said.
"Dear brother, I have spent a lot of money on you." Gu Jiayu said, "Next, your dear sister will treat you to snacks. In this street, you can eat whatever you want!"< br>
The stomach says: No, you are not hungry.
Brain said: It’s so delicious, it’s not like you can’t eat some.
It is the brain that ultimately controls behavior, Gu Lu nodded in agreement.
"Let me introduce to you, this is my friend Jiang Wenwen." Gu Jiayu introduced his friend to his brother.
Jiang Wenwen nodded very quietly, her expression and movements seemed timid.
A group of three people walked to the source of the scent.
The roadside stalls are so delicious, I don’t blame my brain for surrendering.
King Gulu was not polite and ordered cold noodles and sizzling squid.
"Wenwen, what are you eating?" Gu Jiayu asked the little sister.
"No need, I'm losing weight recently and have to eat less snacks." Jiang Wenwen whispered.
"?" The words were so strange, as if Gu Jiayu had met the little sisters for the first time.
What did the little sisters believe in before? Now is the time for us to grow and not lose weight.
Speaking of which, Gu Jiayu noticed that Jiang Wenwen had become much quieter since her brother appeared.
Human beings have the same characteristics, whether they are men or women, it doesn't matter whether they like it or not. In front of excellent people of the opposite sex, you will want to show a better version of yourself.
This is the state of Jiang Wenwen Wenjing at this moment.
"Sizzling squid is delicious." Gu Lu said, "Eat more now, otherwise you will get diarrhea if you eat it later."
"Why?" Gu Jiayu asked incomprehensibly.
Gu Lu didn’t explain and finished eating.
"Okay, I won't delay your evening self-study." Gu Lu said, "It's very hard for you to have evening self-study."
"Is there no evening self-study in No. 8 Middle School?" Jiang Wenwen asked subconsciously, lowering her voice.
Oops! Gu Jiayu felt a "sword energy" suddenly appear next to him.
“The Eighth Middle School also has evening self-study, but my situation is special and I don’t have to attend evening self-study.” Gu Lu said, “I really envy you, you can still feel the atmosphere of being edified by knowledge at night.”
< br>"..." Jiang Wenwen was silent for a moment.
Sure enough, Gu Jiayu guessed this would be the case.
"Okay, I won't delay you from being edified by knowledge. I'm going back to rest." Gu Lu said and left.
It wasn't until King Gulu's back turned into a small black dot that completely jumped out of sight that the two of them looked away.
"Jiajia, your brother has always been like this..." Jiang Wenwen wanted to use one word to describe it.
"I haven't been so arrogant all the time. Okay, let's go in." Gu Jiayu changed the subject.
The two of them walked into the classroom.
"Jiajia, what did your brother buy you?"
"A very, very beautiful skirt."
"Let me see, damn, it looks really good. , your brother likes you so much, remember to buy you a gift when you go abroad.”
“Wenwen, don’t you also have a brother who is in high school?”
"Don't talk about gifts. My parents couldn't find the snacks I hid at home, so he dug them out and gave them to me to eat."
Wait, the next step is to deal with a brother who cheats on girls. Accuse!
When Gu Lu buys souvenirs, he chooses the price strictly based on the distance between them.
The most expensive one is Gu Nuxia’s skirt. Converted into RMB, two pieces cost about 1,500 yuan.
His thinking logic is a bit similar to that of his original self. He is worried that his mother and stepfather will not buy beautiful clothes for the little girl.
It turned out that I was worried that my sister would not have enough to eat without pocket money, which was a bit of a "groundless worry".
It's just Gu Lu's appreciation... The skirt is nice, but it's too gorgeous to wear on a daily basis.
When I got home, it was getting late.
The sun closes and opens, and the day passes.
Please note that today is Monday.
Classmate Gu Lu left No. 8 Middle School and stepped into the classroom again.
“Wow!”
“Brother Zhenlun misses me so much.”
“I miss me so much.”
“When I miss you, you In Naohai, I miss you when you are in Tokyo.”
Gu Lu appeared, and Class 10 was instantly in chaos.
Someone came over to give me a bear hug, and someone even sang an unpleasant song.
Anyway, very enthusiastic.
This enthusiasm turned to Gu Lu's second grade, and he only heard him shouting, "Class 10, your king is back!"
"What king? Basketball club Rukawa Kaede said no Agree!" "King? Haha, as the supreme leader of Class 10, do you agree?" "Can you please stop being so pushy? I'm obviously the man who wants to be the king of Class 10!"...
The noise was quickly overshadowed by Zebra Lu Yi’s reminder, “It’s time for morning reading. It’s time to read early.”
“Is it fun?”
“It’s okay, I’ll go there once in a while. Not bad."
Gu Lu and Qi Caiwei put up their textbooks as a shield and started talking small talk.
No. 8 Middle School is slightly smarter than the junior high school of No. 37 Middle School. Early reading eliminates reading mathematical formulas.
Therefore, even if the first class today is mathematics, the morning reading content is still Chinese. In No. 8 Middle School, English is read in odd numbers, and Chinese is read in even numbers.
During class, the mathematics teacher Lu Zhishen jokingly said, "Gu Lu went to Neon. Do you have any interesting experiences to share with your classmates?"
In 2013, I went abroad. People are quite rare.
All the students started to cheer. As long as it was not about studying, the students could show 200% enthusiasm.
“An interesting fact... Let me share a problem I discovered.” Gu Lu said, “If I had a yard and open space at home, I would definitely grow vegetables, right?”
“Definitely, we grow a lot of vegetables in our hometown.” “Don’t mention our own yard. The green belt in our community has been used to grow winter melons without anyone taking care of it.” “There is no open space, so my grandma is also on the balcony, planting a few pots. "Growing peppers" and so on, the students began to talk about their grandparents' various talents.
“But Neon will plant flowers, plants and trees,” Gu Lu said, “Not just individuals, if there is an open space in a public place, Neon officials will make it into a park. Many Neon parks don’t have it. The living room at home is big.”
Gu Lu asked: “Do you know why?”
I don’t know, and Teacher Lu shook his head.
So why? Gu Lu faced everyone's gaze and said, "I actually don't know because I didn't investigate."
There was a burst of booing below.
Even Teacher Lu was a little unhappy, half-talking, who taught him?
"I said at the beginning that I found a problem, but I didn't say that I found the answer!" Gu Lu said confidently.
"Okay, thank you Gu Lu for sharing, let's go to class." Teacher Lu said.
This is to let my friends know that there are some problems we face in life for which there is no answer. Gu Lu also felt justified in his heart.
Gu Lu's expression was very stable in class, and he was calm and lazy.
After school at noon, Gu Lu put the souvenirs he gave to his classmates at the office of the publication club.
When class was about to begin in the afternoon, Gu Lu walked to the classroom carrying a small bag. The strange girl asked for help to carry the things and bring them to her after school.
Li Guyuan and Lu Ping put them in the drawer.
“Where is CC?” Gu Lu asked Wei Jiao.
"It should be on the rockery at the back." Wei Jiao replied.
What are you doing over there at the rockery? Gu Lu walked over and wanted to give the gift to his deskmate with his own hands.
At the rockery...
Gu Lu saw Li Guyuan at the rockery. To be precise, it was the students from Shuren Literary Club rehearsing "Les Misérables".
Looking around, in the small pavilion not far away, Qi Caiwei the cat was watching behind the pillars of the pavilion.
Cheer for your former social friends? That should be above board.
After thinking about this, Gu Lu did not walk over, because since the other person was looking at him with his waist down, he definitely didn't want others to see him.
When the school bell rang and Qi Caiwei returned to her desk, Gu Lu spoke.
He said: "This can be regarded as a specialty, Qianye's bookmark. You can keep it when you read in the future."
"I like this gift!" Qi Caiwei held it in her hand and repeated it Looking at it, the movements of the fingers seem to show joy.
I really like the gift, and Gu Lu slightly admires his ability to choose gifts.
While Gu Lu was living an ordinary student life, there was a new move in Neon.
On the third day after Gu Lu returned to China, and the eighth day after the release of "The Prince of That Time", the sales statistics for the first week were calculated.
Xiang Chuanshe quickly promoted [370,000 coins in the first week, a fairy tale in the new century].
Gu Lu, who had been cooling off for a while, became turbulent again due to the release of the magazine "Red Rabbit".
There is a saying that the friendship between China and Japan depends on South Korea, the friendship between China and South Korea depends on neon, and the friendship between Japan and South Korea depends on the United States.
Even though "Red Rabbit" is the best children's literature publication, it actually uses quotes out of context. The interview editor specifically asked about the situation in South Korea when asking questions. As a Neon Man, he must know what the Neon Man wants to see.
Specially asked Gu Lu about the issue of low birthrate in South Korea, and then he mentioned it.
Seeing that South Korea is worse off than themselves, Neon people are very happy. They have the attitude of "If you criticize South Korea, we are friends". The sales data of "The Prince of That Time" are still gratifying.
"It's a pity. South Korea has criticized it so harshly. It was a good opportunity to publish a Korean version." Vice President Yukou felt that a lot of money was lost.
Gu Lu is criticized by so many people in South Korea, and the number of his antis is almost as much as that of many idols in South Korea.
To talk about it a little bit, Anti is a phenomenon that also exists in the entertainment industry in South Korea, and it is a very serious black fan. For example, at offline meetings, a razor blade was hidden in handshakes, which caused the artist to bleed profusely, and detergent was put in the drinks given.
A very serious crime. In comparison, Chinese black fans are really a trivial matter. There are even many black fans in China who show their feelings in black, right?
"Then can we represent the Korean copyright of "The Prince of That Time"?"
Vice President Yukou knows the situation in South Korea. There are so many people who are cheating, so some people must be curious. If you are curious, you will buy books.
The worst case scenario is not letting Gu Lu go to South Korea.
Just do it, Vice President Yukou called for a translator and sent an email to Gu Lu according to his wishes.
It was a coincidence that Gu Lugang also turned off the computer and went to the Qingbei class for the second time.
I couldn't find Zhou Lin yesterday. The head teacher of Qingbei class said that she had something to do at home and asked for leave.
It is definitely impossible for the head teacher to tell the students from other classes the reasons for asking for leave, even Gu Lu who was walking sideways in the No. 8 Prison.
Just one sentence, "Why do you need to know so much about your relationship with Zhou Lin?" Friend? Then ask yourself.
"Still asking for leave? Nothing will happen, right?" Gu Lu was a little worried.
Because the academic work in Qingbei class is relatively stressful, the class teacher will not allow leave if it is not a particularly important matter.
He didn't even wait until school was over. At noon that day, he came to the office of the publication club and turned on the computer.
[Ju Chang: I heard that you didn’t come to school. What happened? ]
But when Gu Lu turned on his computer, he saw the news from President Jian.
President Jian had something urgent to ask for, so Gu Lu called him.
""Flatland" will be on sale next Wednesday. Xiao Gu, if you have the energy, you can hold a book signing in Fog City on weekends."
Eh? It will go on sale next Wednesday, so soon? Today is Tuesday, next Wednesday is eight days away.
"What's wrong? Do you have any questions?" President Jian heard a silence on the other side of the phone and couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, it's just that the first book has been prepared for several months, and then the second book "Bing Fruit" has also been waiting for a month or two." Gu Lu said.
"During the period of "The Little Prince", Xiao Gu was not famous, so he needed to build up his reputation." President Jian explained, "The second book, Bingguo, is famous, but it has not yet taken shape."< br>
"But Xiao Gu, your reputation has matured now. You have four best-selling books and Neon is quite famous. The previous publicity plan can no longer be used." President Jian said.
"I know, I will definitely do it when there is time for the autograph signing." Gu Lu responded affirmatively.
Next, discuss some publishing details.
After all the chats, President Jian also showed concern for Gu Lu.
"Xiao Gu, you can have a good rest after this book is published." President Jian said, "You have created so many works in less than two years,"
< br>"The Little Prince has 50,000 words, Bingguo has more than 100,000 words, and Mr. Holmes has more than 200,000 words. All the short stories add up to about 100,000 words." Gu Lu said, "Add the tens of thousands of words of "Flatland" to make it roughly Six hundred thousand words is not much.”
After almost two years, six hundred thousand words is indeed not much.
“Just looking at the number of words, it’s an above-average creation speed.” President Jian said, “But the coverage of your creation is too broad.”
"Science fiction, mystery, fairy tales, supernatural and literature, spanning so many themes, will consume more energy." President Jian said.
