Chapter 266: The Battle of Concepts
If you don’t have the strength to show off, it will make people touch their toes on the floor in embarrassment.
So what is more embarrassing than hardwearing? Pretending failed.
Mu Xue and Zhao Mingming are like this now.
"Here is this news." Zhao Mingming took out her mobile phone, jumped to the Youth Network in the browser, and took out the news.
"Don't bother me, I can just search on my phone." Gu Lu searched on his phone, and a lot of them popped up.
Why do people like Gu Lu’s books? ” “Two college students spent hundreds of thousands on books, and the most popular writer among college students was born” “Being college students in the new era and caring for impoverished mountainous areas” and so on.
The news sources all come from Youth Network, but the focus becomes different depending on the tone of the reposting platform.
NetEase likes to hold polls, Phoenix likes exaggerated headlines, and Renren Daily likes to sublimate. However, the accuracy of the NetEase portal needs to be slightly improved. He is obviously a student at East China Normal University, but the report says he is from Harbin Institute of Technology. This is totally wrong and the two universities are completely unrelated.
"Cousin, Sister Mingming, the two anonymous college students in this report couldn't be you." Gu Lu wasn't stupid either.
"The thing is like this..." Zhao Mingming started, and then let the person involved, Mu Xue, speak.
"The main reason is that your novel is really well written and is very suitable for children in poor areas." Mu Xue was ready to hit the target, "Also, it is also an apology. What happened last time was because I was too self-righteous."
When he said this, Gu Lu understood and meant to apologize.
The smile on Gu Lu's face fell silent. His silence made Mu Zhao and the two of them tremble.
They also didn’t know why they were so nervous when he was angry when they were obviously college students and the other party was a high school student.
The two of them stopped picking up food.
"Cousin, I am completely aware of your kindness." Gu Lu said.
"Think about it, if I live alone and have parents to help me, it will definitely be better than living alone. Your starting point is completely for my own good." Gu Lu explained, "I often do some things, and I think I personally don’t think it’s self-righteous to do good things to others.”
“I prefer to be called, ‘Moqiu type caring’”
Moqiu type caring? Mu Xue doesn't understand.
"It's because your mother thought you were very cold in winter and forced you to wear long johns." Gu Lu explained.
"Although I don't know if the other party needs Qiuku." On the surface, Gu Lu was talking about Mu Xue, but in fact, he was talking about his previous actions.
"I am the one who made my cousin worried." Gu Lu said, "It is true that I am unhappy, but I will not blame my cousin for this matter. So this money is really a waste. I will refund it later." Cousin.”
It sounded a little confusing at first, but I understood it later. Mu Xue said hurriedly, "No, no, no, don't back out. Taking a step back, supporting my cousin's writing career is what my cousin should do."
"Really cousin, I have nothing to do with this matter." Your cousin really didn’t suffer.” Zhao Mingming added, “Donating books is also a good deed, and the school even called us to praise us.”
"Yes, yes, besides, I have 50,000 to 60,000 yuan in pocket money a month, so don't worry." Mu Xue said casually.
Fifty or sixty thousand a month? Gu Lu's pupils shrank slightly. Sorry, he didn't have much contact with the rich second generation in his previous life. I didn’t expect the second generation of rich people to live such a prosperous life.
I’m not envious, I’m not envious at all. Now I can spend half a million yuan a month! Gu Lu comforted himself in his heart.
Only through real contact can we understand the value of the sentence "Some people are born in Rome, and some people are born as cows and horses." The ones in Rome are my cousin and her little sisters, and the ones in cow and horse are the original ones.
Let’s make things clear and continue eating.
"I heard from Director Hu that Cousin You's course survey has been completed?"
"Of course it has been completed. Principal Chang and Director Hu completely regard us as their own and will answer any questions. This is due to cousin "
"Now that the business is done, are you going to visit Dazu Rock Carvings, Wushan Small Three Gorges, Jinfo Mountain, Simian Mountain, etc."
“Next time I come to play, I bought a ticket to go back to Shanghai the day after tomorrow.”
……
Chatting and eating.
The only dish that was finished on half the table was the fish-flavored eggplant.
"Auntie, please pack." Gu Lu raised his hand to signal the older waiter. He was really not just talking.
There are a lot of meat dishes, which are convenient to reheat.
The three of them got into two cars. Although the directions were the same, the routes were different.
It stands to reason that it can be put together in one section, but it is a bit troublesome.
Mu Xue felt a little unhappy that she had spent so much money to apologize but failed to show it.
But back to the hotel, my little sisters and I went out to the night market again and walked on the streets with people coming and going.
"Yes, Mingming, I was really doing it for my little cousin." Mu Xue suddenly murmured.
Zhao Mingming nodded, "Yes, before you called your cousin's alcoholic father, you kept saying, 'My cousin is too young, and it is easy to be bullied if there is no one in charge at home.'"
"Mom cares about Qiuxing. My cousin deserves to be a writer of novels. He summed it up so well." Mu Xue said, "It's quite cold in the capital in winter, so my mother would make me wear long johns. Anyway, I don't want to wear them at all." "
"It's better than my mother, who just put on a set of thermal underwear." Zhao Mingming said.
As the two chatted, Mu Xue’s unhappiness dissipated.
I then felt very happy inside, as if I had finished all my homework on Friday during the weekend.
How did it come about? Mu Xue's thinking seems to come from "understanding".
According to Mu Xue's previous thoughts, her cousin stopped being angry because she spent so much money and reconciled.
It can be installed like this, but it will definitely not be as fun as it is now. "The power of understanding is so powerful." Mu Xue murmured to herself, "My little cousin has such a good character!"
"Oops!" Zhao Mingming suddenly shouted loudly beside her. call.
“Your relatives are here?” Mu Xue’s first reaction was to look through her bag to make sure she had brought a towel.
"No!" Zhao Mingming said, "My mother also wanted my cousin's autograph, but she forgot to ask for it."
"?" There was a question mark in Mu Xue's eyes.
"When did you feel that your cousin was a great writer? Anyway, after I told my parents about the matter, both my parents actually read his books."
Zhao Mingming continued, "Then you asked me to ask for an autograph. Xiaoxue, when you told your parents about your cousin, how did they react?"
"Hahaha, I haven't said it yet." Mu Xue said, "Wait a minute. I went back and told them, which shocked them.”
"It's scary enough." Zhao Mingming nodded, "Comparing my feelings, if my cousin is my distant relative, it will be a big surprise."
"The flight the day after tomorrow, tomorrow, I will go to formally thank Ba The Lieutenant Colonel happens to be at school and can help you get my cousin’s autograph.” Mu Xue said, “I happen to want one too.”
The two of them were walking aimlessly in the night market. It's digestion.
The night market in Wudu is nothing interesting, but the night beer is delicious.
Night Beer is also a food stall. As soon as ten o'clock arrives in the evening, tents begin to be set up in various streets.
There are many stories in the evening.
Another day passes, let’s talk more about the day’s stories.
With publicity and promotion from all parties, the popularity of books continues online.
On the tenth day of sales, in mid-May, the sales volume of "Flatland" exceeded 500,000 copies!
Gu Lu’s second 500,000 book.
Both are born in the 1990s, and no one can stand out from them!
"The world-famous law is that ninety-nine percent of a person's efforts are for the sake of fork-lifting."
Gu Lu agreed with this sentence because he began to study When will the 2013 Writers Rich List be announced?
Tapping on the computer, he was currently in the social office.
During the book sales period, try to stay online for a longer period of time to avoid any emergencies.
It never hurts to be cautious.
No, Flatland has been criticized.
Wang Xinlei, a popular science writer from China, criticized "Flatland" as not being like a serious popular science work at all.
Wang Xinlei used George Gamow's book "From One to Infinity" as an example.
[The information content of Flatland is too little. It doesn't have the effect of popularizing science at all.
The novel is full of insignificant hints of religion, society and other institutions.
I don’t know why such a work is evaluated as a “cross-era” popular science work.
It is impossible to see across the ages, only to see the bottom line of the times. ]
Finally Wang Xinlei ended like this.
The criticism was sharp.
"Uncle Jian, this criticism is just to gain popularity." Gu Lu asked on the phone.
President Jian responded, "No, Wang Xinlei hasn't released a new work for three or four years. There has been no new work recently, so there is no buzz."
"That's something behind the scenes. Reasons are entangled, such as competition for resources between publishers." Gu Lu asked again.
“No. Why do you ask?” President Jian was surprised.
“Since there is no interest entanglement at all, it is unreasonable to directly offend people.” Gu Lu expressed his opinion, “In the past, "Bingguo" was criticized by many people, and most media reports were because of its popularity. ”
"It's not that complicated. It's just that Wang Xinlei simply doesn't like "Flatland" and thinks that this book cannot be said to be popular science." President Jian replied, "There are not so many special reasons, and the reality does not matter whether it is reasonable or not."< br>
Just make comments and attack if you don’t like it? As expected of the literary world, Gu Lu wanted to give him a thumbs up.
"I'm calling you to tell you that if a reporter finds you and interviews you, there is no need to reply." President Jian was afraid that Gu Lu would fall into the trap of the reporter.
Because currently, unethical journalists are the majority.
"If you really just don't like it, that's absolutely fine. Because no matter how well-written a book is, some people have to be allowed to dislike it. Reading is very personal." Gu Lu took a very open mind.
"If you can think like this, Xiao Gu, your thinking has surpassed that of many authors." President Jian said, he originally just wanted to express it without responding.
Because according to the popularity of "Flatland", someone will always jump out to respond, and the real person will not have to die.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Lu was a little uncomfortable, "Has your fame now reached the point where you would start a dispute with your colleagues over ideas?"
In addition, Gu Lu got the favor from the female hero. Get a copy of the math test paper.
Giving rice dumplings to the class in the afternoon.
"What's wrong?" Gu Lu asked. Li Guyuan's expression seemed to indicate that something was wrong.
