Chapter 270 Crime: Genius (5000 words)
Li Guangshu’s original name is Wu Guangshu, and his literary idol is Joyce, James Joyce.
The great writer who wrote the masterpiece "Ulysses" of stream of consciousness. His works also have this feeling to some extent.
Ordinary stories, timelines, character lines, and story lines are all linear. In Dickens's words, they are "from root to leaf." Stream of consciousness literature is divergent, spreading from one point to another, regardless of distance in space and time.
There is a certain reading threshold, such as "The Drunkard", the first stream-of-consciousness novel in China,
Just for the sake of eating, Li Guangshu still suppressed his desire for expression.
"Brother Yuan, what are we doing in Wudu?" Li Guangshu asked.
He is already very familiar with Mao Yuan, the editor-in-chief of "Novel World", so he speaks more casually on the phone.
"There is a study meeting in Wudu, organized by the National Communist Youth League. New Youth Publishing House, Magic City Literature and Art Publishing House, Children's Publishing House, Jiangsu Province People's Publishing House, Sichuan Province Science and Technology Publishing House, etc. A meeting to be held by seven publishing houses.”
Li Guangshu was in awe after hearing the editor’s words. The publishing houses I just gave an example of are all well-known and powerful.
The activity is not easy!
For a study meeting of this level, Li Guangshu said half-jokingly, "Brother Yuan, how did you get tickets for such an occasion? There won't be any problem, right?"
"How to talk? Yes, I am also the editor-in-chief of "Novel World", and I have all the connections. You can go to Maoming South Road and find out who the brother is," Maoyuan said.
If Li Guangshu remembers correctly - Maoming South Road seems to be a bar street?
"Novel World" is a bi-monthly magazine owned by Modu Literature and Art Publishing House, focusing on novellas and avant-garde novels.
In terms of difficulty in publishing, it is easier than the Four Little Literary Girls, but more difficult than Youth Digest.
"This opportunity is rare," Maoyuan said, "remember to bring the manuscript."
Li Guangshu quickly agreed on the phone. He understood that the editor-in-chief was giving him a chance.
There are so many publishing giants, and anyone who appreciates it can publish his book.
Li Guangshu was so excited when he hung up the phone.
In a good mood, and no longer envious or jealous of Gu Lu, Li Guangshu looked at the web page on his mobile phone.
He was watching Bihu just now.
[How do you evaluate the talented writer Gu Lu who has emerged recently? One of his books is selling like hotcakes. What is his level? ]
Li Guangshu closed the webpage and there was no need to follow other people.
Fame and fortune, he will get back what he lost!
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind is not stopping. It is normal for Gu Lu's fame to attract resentment.
As for his level - Neon people call him "the youngest best-selling author"!
After the explosive sales for more than half a month, "The Prince of That Time" has also entered a period of slowdown.
Currently, there are 630,000 coins. It seems that it will be difficult to break through one million in a year, unless...
As a Neon from a neighboring big country, Vice President Yukou showed his Neon personality As for his talent, there is no new growth point in books, so he focuses on book illustrations.
The illustrations of the Little Prince drawn by the author did not seem very attractive to Yukou at first.
Later, along with readers’ feedback, people kept mentioning that Yukou’s mentality changed.
He was thinking about the possibility that Gu Lu suddenly lost his mind and handed over the copyright of the Little Prince peripherals to him.
Get a translator from the publishing house and call Gu Lu again.
"Teacher Gu Lu, do you still have the peripheral copyrights for your work "The Little Prince"?"
After Yukou finished speaking, he looked at the translator next to him and urged him with his eyes.
“In hand.”
“That’s good, Teacher Gu Lu, your work has a certain peripheral copyright value. It can be made into mobile phone chains, keychains and other soft peripherals. It sells well. If so, there’s no problem with hard peripherals such as figurines, cards, and gashapon.”
Neon’s classification of peripherals is not as complicated as in China. Hard peripherals only have ornamental value. It has certain use value and is a soft peripheral.
The writer's response came from the other end of the phone, "Really, that's great."
It seems like it can really be fooled? Yuguchi strikes while the iron is hot, "Last year, our country's peripheral industries exceeded an astonishing 89.1 billion yen. However, precisely because the market is so large, it is impossible to sell without reliable channels."
"Where can I find reliable channels? ?”
Why was the chat so smooth today? Yukou looked at the translator with suspicion, and the latter quickly gestured to indicate that there was no problem with his translation.
“We, Shodensha, have close cooperation with Bandai Namco. Therefore, we are fully able to represent the peripheral copyrights of the works.” Vice President Uoguchi saw victory in front of him.
“Oh, that’s great—President Yukou can discuss it with my agent in detail.”
The first half of the sentence is about ascending to heaven, and the second half is about falling to hell.
President Yukou stared directly at the translator, what is the situation with the agent?
The author's voice continued to come from the other end of the phone, speaking for a long time.
“What do you mean?” President Yukou asked.
"Mr. Gu Lu said that the agent Yao Sang was the former senior editor of Bantam Dell Publishing Group. He has some knowledge about publishing matters. I only focus on writing. It is more convenient for President Yukou to chat with the agent. . As the old saying goes: Professional matters must be left to professionals. ”
Being a translator not only tests your language skills, but also your memory. Therefore, the translator has a problem with the word order in this paragraph. Especially when he heard the end of the phone call, "An old saying once said", the translator broke out in a cold sweat.
No one really considers co-authoring, is the translator going to live or die?
The other end of the phone hung up the phone because it was time to go to class.
President Yuguchi fell into deep thought.
Of course he knows that Dell Publishing Group is a Caotai team in comparison.
How can someone who can be a senior editor at Bantam Dell fool him?
But no matter what, Yukou still called to have a look.
Because the letters from readers are like "When can I buy the Little Prince's gashapon?" "I like the Little Prince and the fox in the illustration very much, and I just need to get a new mobile phone chain." etc., too Much more.
“I’ve solicited another business, and I don’t know what Brother Yao can do with it.” Gu Lu had to learn a lot of things after traveling through time.
For example, learn to use professionals.
Gu Lu couldn't help but recall the phone call he had with Yao Xiaoju yesterday.
Forget "The Human Chair" and "The Walker on the Ceiling". The price of comic adaptation rights is still above average, and the film and television adaptation rights of four novels, including "Yesterday's Park", cost 4 million days "Sold it for 100 yuan?"
"I mainly wanted to make "Wonderful Story of the World" a boost of popularity for the work."
"Because we are partners, Teacher Gu. Don't blame me for being a bit direct. I think this is just a superficial reason. The deeper reason is that Teacher Gu is too talented and feels that writing his works is too easy."
"Because of Gu. Teacher, you know that your work is well written and has been proven by the market. More importantly, Teacher Gu, you also know the current ratings of the "Wonderful Story of the World" program, no matter how fast the TV series is filmed, it will be the same after it is broadcast. It’s been two or three months, what kind of publicity can it bring? I think this is just a reason for you to perfunctory yourself, Teacher Gu.”
What Yao Xiaoju said on the phone made perfect sense, and Gu Lu found himself speechless.
Indeed! Because I have a golden finger, I have too many good works in my hands.
Gu Lu was a copycat, not a piao. He did not reveal his pride in writing these works. On the contrary, he turned to the other extreme. These works have little to do with me!
What a bad habit, Gu Lu corrected himself.
"Thank you, Brother Yao. I really seem to have this problem. I will pay more attention to my works in the future." Gu Lu thanked him.
This moment made Yao Xiaoju confused for two or three seconds, "At such a young age and so successful in the field of writing, I must be a little arrogant in my heart. I am also prepared to have a big argument, because even ordinary people have to argue a few words... ...I didn’t expect Teacher Gu to admit his mistake directly.”
“There are too few people who can reflect on themselves.”
“Only by reflecting can we make progress. Tell Brother Yao directly if he finds any problems in the future. I’ll do it!”
“It’s a deal! Then I won’t be polite.”
Recalling Yao Xiaoju’s last words, Gu Lu felt a chill down his spine.
Is it too impulsive to speak like this? Gu Lu comforted himself in his heart. Yao Xiaoju is also a mature adult, so he should be careful about what he says!
Keep doing your own thing.
Gu Lu has already experienced two of the three difficulties of being the host of an up, namely filming and writing scripts.
Now is the last one, post-production and subtitle editing are quite time-consuming. Also, the current post-processing software is far less convenient than later generations.
“Originally it was planned to take one hour, but it took two hours, which doubled.”
What title should I choose?
"Interview with Gu Lu｜What is the most important thing for a student"
The cover chosen is a shot of him and Zhou Lin sitting face to face. Done, Gu Lu’s second video!
I uploaded that King Gulu was a little excited and took a bath to calm down.
Jiafuyuan is an old community, and the toilets do not have separate wet and dry areas.
“When I had no other choice before, I didn’t think what would happen if I didn’t separate the dry and wet areas. But once I had the intention of buying a house, I didn’t like renting a house in one way or another. ”
When cooking dinner after school today, Gu Lu still disliked the stove. If you can't make a fire, you have to twist the opening and then light it with a lighter.
It’s strange and dangerous.
My mood is good and my work efficiency is also high.
"The largest tutoring institution in the foggy city...rejected!" Gu Lu didn't even think about it.
There are reports that Gu Lu has become a star writer, which sums it up quite appropriately. There are indeed merchants who sent endorsement invitations through the email address on the Weibo homepage.
Actually, it doesn’t count as an endorsement. It’s not that formal. I just asked Gu Lu to advertise on Weibo and get 50,000 yuan a day.
This is the price for a millionaire V, but Gu Lu has the blessing of being a writer.
Yao Xiaoju is just a foreign agent, and he still needs to resolve domestic matters by himself.
Gu Lu wants to make progress too much, so he won't find a domestic agent for the time being.
After all, other writers find domestic agents because they want to concentrate on writing.
But he is a cheat. He puts everything on others and spends money for nothing every day. Is it really okay?
It seems really good... Ahem, life is still about tossing.
The mood was almost the same as when he was writing online novels in his previous life. After working for a while, Gu Lu refreshed the Bilibili web page.
I care so much about my grades!
At Station B in 2013, Gu Lu was definitely one of the most awesome UPs, or maybe not.
So netizens still pay a lot of attention to it.
In just over three hours, there were two to three hundred thousand clicks.
That’s great. After all, the current user base of Bilibili cannot be compared with that of future generations.
Take a look at the messages from B friends.
Qiao Chi: "Hahaha, it turns out that Gu Lu, who is at the top of the field of other people's children, is just like me. He likes to brag and not draft."
Little Carrot Zombie: "Da Mao Congress is attacking the country? I remember my dad was drunk and told his friends that the United States would soon destroy neon lights."
161006232059320: "Gu Lu has two eyes, and so do I. Two eyes. Gu Lu has a head, and I also have a head. And because I am equal to Gu Lu, in short form, I am equal to the great writer."
Shuang: "Brother, have you remembered your account and password? But you are writing, going to school, and being the host of Up, so why do you have so much time?"
Coffee, frozen milk tea and ice: "Zhou Lin who is being interviewed is so beautiful! I hope you can tell me her information within three seconds, otherwise I will let Fat Tiger beat you all to death!"
Feng Yanhehe: "" When will the second part of "Bingguo" be released? When will the second part be released?"
Wait, Gu Lu kept scrolling.
I would like to see the feedback on his video content in the comments.
Unfortunately, most netizens are concerned about Gu Lu's identity, and a small number of them praise Zhou Lin for her good looks.
"It's normal. There are too few UP owners who become popular after just one or two videos." Gu Lu thought.
Not discouraged at all, thinking about who to interview next week. Considering how busy we are on weekdays, weekly updates are enough.
As for daily updates and double updates a week, the donkeys in the production team don’t do this!
He is lucky. His status as a writer has brought him a lot of popularity, and he has skipped the novice stage. After getting such a huge advantage, he must increase his efforts!
The conversation was divided into two parts. On the other side, there was another group of people. At this moment, they were not as happy as Gu Lu.
They are very confused.
After receiving Director Hu’s suggestion, the Propaganda Department of the Eighth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China went to investigate the tone of the website and originally disagreed.
Because Bilibili is full of cartoons - and pointless laughing videos.
If you go to this place to apply for school, isn’t that lowering your status? Destroy the school's own image.
The next moment the person in charge of the Party Propaganda Department called and refused.
"The reason you mentioned is very one-sided. Comrades, our propaganda must take the initiative to go to student groups."
"We cannot target places where student groups gather. Maybe their local environment is not good, but we are adults, and we also There can be no stereotypes.”
“Even if the Bip website cannot be opened, like the NetEase forum, it was closed last year. The most important thing for us is to show our concern for the students. Support for classmate Xiao Gu.”
Three words, Director Hu responded on the phone.
Hearing the words "classmate Xiao Gu", the people in the party propaganda department regained their patience.
The main reason is not that Gu Lu is famous, but that Gu Lu is the role model set by the Communist Youth League in Wudu.
As for reaching out to students, most of them have ignored these words.
I gritted my teeth and stamped my feet, and registered an account...
The Bilibili website has accepted the invitation code registration mode, and also changed it to the question answering mode this year - the party propaganda department has also caught up. Good times.

How do I become a formal member and still answer questions? All teachers in the Party Propaganda Department, look at me and I look at you.
I don’t know any of the questions, and there is a time limit of one hour. They immediately started searching on Baidu.
Another day passes, and time flies!
The sword of the high school entrance examination is much sharper than the sword of Damocles, at least for junior high school students. It took two days for the heroine to reply to Gu Lu's message.
[Gu Jiayu: Brother, do you want to redecorate the house? Don’t spend too much on renting a house! If you finish the renovation and the landlord doesn’t rent it to you, it will be a huge loss!
Gu Lu: I don’t want to renovate the house for rent, and I’m not stupid. I just want to make money in the future and buy a big house. I’ll give you one when the time comes.
Gu Jiayu: Wow? so good? ! Thank you, brother, brother, brother
Gu Jiayu: My dream room is...]
The heroine is very happy, or if she wants something from her, she will beat up many brothers, and even send seven or eight Picture. The sketches she designed were taken with her mobile phone.
Is it worth being so happy if there is not even a single horoscope? Gu Lu was also inexplicably happy.
[Gu Lu: Are you so confident in me? Think I can definitely afford it?
Gu Jiayu: That’s for sure, whose brother became a great writer in high school! So if there is a bedroom for me in the future, there will definitely be one, and I am already happy. ]
Very well, since you said so, I must let you live in your dream room.
Save the picture sent by my sister. I don’t have a printer at home. Gu Lu will go to school tomorrow to print it out.
The next day, Gu Lu did not forget. As soon as school is over at noon, I run to the social office.
And something was happening in the classroom that Gu Lu didn't notice.
"This is a gift for the members." Qi Caiwei gave a small paper bag. A paper tape specially used to hold gifts, without any other logo.
"Otherwise, I can give it myself CC." Li Guyuan glanced at the lucky buckle packaged in a transparent plastic bag. Everyone in the literary club knows that a red button is a lucky charm on stage, because they have all heard Qi Caiwei say it.
Each plastic bag was sealed with staples and white paper. Li Guyuan saw his own name and that of other members on the white paper.
"The main reason is that I feel that this gift is quite good. It would be better if you gave CC yourself." Li Guyuan thought with his toes and knew that the other party had put his heart into it.
"I'd better help Tangyuan, please." Qi Caiwei didn't dare, or maybe she didn't want to face her roommate.
"Okay." Li Guyuan nodded in agreement.
That's troublesome," Qi Caiwei handed the things to Li Guyuan with confidence.
Although for a while at the beginning of last semester, Qi Caiwei felt that Li Guyuan was not very good. But after getting along with him, she felt that this person Quite reliable.
And Li Guyuan returned to his seat with two things,
One is a lucky button from a paper bag, and the other is the first issue "Open Book" written by Gu Lugang.
His drawers are messy and there are too many things. It took a while to sort out the space before putting the paper bag in it.
