Chapter 293 Prophecy Compilation
“Wow, look what I got!” “Dad, the up owner you are following has been updated.” “What dad, it’s grandpa, the up owner you are following has been updated.” “Finally Did you remember the password? "...
After the video was released, the number of comments in the comment area increased like crazy. Many netizens did not watch the video content at all and left comments first.
I don’t know what the current algorithm of Bilibili is, but Gu Lu’s priority is very high. As long as he posts a video, it will appear directly on the homepage.
Many netizens will be confused.
For example, Wan Bei, even though his name sounds like a girl, he also looks androgynous!
Fortunately, Wanbei has protective parents, otherwise he would be easily bullied at school. When I was studying, let alone a neutral appearance, I just had a slightly sharper voice and softer movements. Nicknames similar to "Fake Brother" were thrown at me all over the place.
"Interview with King Gulu?" Wan Bei clicked on it and watched the fifteen-minute video.
He was confused, the video quality was not high. Aren't they just two students about his age bragging?
All competition results and extracurricular activities are good.
What about the future structure of the music market?
Wan Bei thinks that these two people are too small. He and his friends boasted that they were all three thousand People's Liberation Army, liberating Washington!
Why is the number of likes and coin collections so high?
Confused Wanbei clicked on the comment area, and the netizen with the most likes left a message like this -
Hearing the flowers bloom: [Gu Lu, my hero! A few days ago, my mother was not at home, so I secretly played on the computer. After playing the game for a while, I was browsing station B at that time. As a result, my mother was like the ghost leopard in Warcraft, walking without making any sound. I just heard "Didn't I ask you to do your homework? Who asked you to play on the computer?".
The moment I heard this, my brother even thought about the content of his suicide note.
But when my mother took a look at the video "Interview with Gu Lu" played on the computer (yes, the first issue was called this).
"Gu Lu, is that the Gu Lu who wrote "Young China" and "Flat Country"?"
I admired myself very much at that time, and after thinking about it, I immediately said, "Yes, yes, this It's Gu Lu who is sharing his writing and learning experience. I'm here to learn from him."
I saw my mother's face cool down, and finally she just told me, "It's good to learn from Gu Lu, but you can't be too ambitious. There is only one Gu Lu.”
I wasn't beaten, hehe.
Praise Gu Lu! ]
Many netizens on this floor have come forward to express their personal experiences, explaining how good Gu Lu is in the hearts of parents and teachers.
“Oh, no wonder, it’s this guy!” Wan Bei realized that this name had been mentioned so many times by the Chinese teacher.
There is also the story that Gu Lu's writing talent was already on display when he was in junior high school. Once, in a test paper issued by the school, Gu Lu, a junior high school student, pointed out the grammatical errors in the test paper.
It sounds similar to a legendary story, but the Chinese teacher swears by it, and Wan Bei can only believe it with suspicion.
“Shouldn’t he read and write every day? Still have time to study?” Wan Bei was quite surprised.
Immediately, Wanbei received another message that interested him very much.
This is from netizen Lan Jiyao, who seems to be an up owner as well.
Lan Jiyao: [Gu Lu is indeed different from ordinary students, as can be seen from his serialized science fiction short stories. Let me take stock of his forward-looking predictions.
1. South Korea’s society in ten years’ time may be in a situation where people don’t even have children even if they make money. (From an interview with the magazine "Red Rabbit" in Neon)
2. The Internet may bring extreme convenience. Computers can calculate whatever we like, and we will fall into a situation where we cannot break the old environment. (The activities of the Writers Association and the Science Popularization Association, and Gu Lu’s speech are more complicated in detail. I will just summarize them briefly.)
3. There will be a takeout industry that changes people’s living habits, that is, integrating all store information and hiring takeaways member. (Same as above)
4. The Woolly Bear Congress may directly attack the Ermao Kingdom because of its own interests. (from the previous video)
5. Due to the development of the Internet, the music market will value singers more than works. (from this video)
Let’s see how many will come true in ten years. ]
After reading this message, Wan Bei found that Gu Lu really didn't seem to be bragging.
It seems that this talented writer of his own age has deep thoughts about the future world.
"No wonder people can be writers, I can only brag. I have thought about it both at home and abroad." Wan Bei murmured to himself.
Did you notice the content of Gu Lu’s video? To be precise, almost no one paid much attention to the learning secrets shared by Li Guyuan. This is problematic with Bilibili’s current positioning.
The current Bilibili is no better than what it will be ten years from now. It will have a knowledge area, a digital area, a tourism area, etc. Netizens may come to site b because they want to see or learn something.
I came to bilibili in 2013 just for fun, who would want to listen and teach.
The version is wrong. Fortunately, Gu Lu himself is famous enough.
"I play computer games all day long. My grades have dropped so much this semester. Don't you know how to prepare well?"
Wan Bei recognized a male voice from behind. It was his father. Oops! The content of the Internet is reflected in reality.
"Stop dad, please put down the belt on your hand first and listen to me seriously." Wan Bei said, "Look at this video, it was produced by Gu Lu. He wrote "Flatland" and "Young China" "That Gu Lu."
"He taught his writing skills on the Internet, and I came here specifically to learn from him," Wan Bei said with sincerity.
Dad Wan looked at his child.
The room was unusually quiet for a moment, and Wan Bei could even hear his own breathing.
Did I get away with it? Wan Bei felt secretly happy.
The next second, "I asked you to learn from Gu Lu, I asked you to learn, but you didn't even look at it. You only got thirty points out of fifty for your essay, so you're the only one who still learns!"
Pang Beat will only be late, not Will not arrive.
I’m crying, Wanbei is crying, why doesn’t it work?
There is another child in the world who doesn’t like Gu Lu.
It's just that this kind of discussion is harmless, just like when you were studying, you memorized "The Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" and wanted to pull the author out and give him a beating. But when I grew up, I still went to Tengwang Pavilion when I had the opportunity.
It must be to pay for this childhood memory, otherwise who would spend the money to go to the Tengwang Pavilion, a modern building rebuilt with steel and concrete?
Gu Lu is no longer browsing Bilibili. He is checking his mailbox.
Just because "Genius writer Gu Lu cut the ribbon for the bookstore, Xinhua Bookstore Yangjiaping store built a special reading corner!" 》
Because of this report, many stores in Fog City sent him invitations when they opened.
Forget bookstores, stationery stores are barely there, but what does a clothing store mean? Are they really treating Gu Lu as a star?
"Reject!"
"Reject this too!"
"Although I was offered an appearance fee that I can't refuse, I, Gulu, like to say no."
Mainly It’s because you have money in your pocket that you don’t make money by treating yourself as a star. Gu Lu wanted to hide the cooperation email address of his Weibo account, but if there was any copyright cooperation, it would be delayed.
A dilemma.
"Hey, this is kind of interesting."
Don't get me wrong, Gu Lu said that the interesting email is not a ribbon-cutting invitation.
It was an event invitation from the Writers Association, of which he was already a member.
About two months ago, President Jian asked him to apply. The review time was quite long, but after the release of "Young China", it was passed quickly.
“Visiting the West Lake, I don’t think I’ve been to the West Lake yet.” Gu Lu had never been there in his entire life. The ancient poems in primary and secondary schools are really the best slogan "I want to compare the West Lake to the West". How much money do you have to spend to achieve this effect?
"You can go and have a look." The small goal I set for myself was to participate in more new things.
So Gu Lu responded to the email and expressed his interest.
Not long after, I received a call from the staff.
"Hello, Mr. Gu Lu, I am a staff member of the Secretary's Office of our Writers Association. You can just call me Xiao Ming."
"If you decide to participate in the [Travel to the West Lake] activity, Then a form will be sent to your email. After filling it out, just send it back by email. ”
The staff didn't look down on Gu Lu at all because of his young age.
The genius writer is too famous. Gu Lu agreed on the phone and soon received the form and downloaded the attachment.
The information he filled in was just ordinary information, and Gu Lu was done with three clicks, five and two. Send your ID number and book flights and hotels there.
“To be honest, it’s nice to be a famous writer.” Gu Lu stretched.
There is no need to spend money or worry about food, accommodation and transportation.
What Gu Lu thought was that it would be best if a new synthesis sequence could be triggered, and it wouldn't be a loss if it couldn't be triggered.
“If you’re going to be away for four or five days, let’s finish these things first.” Gu Lu is currently trying to find the protagonist of the next Bilibili interview.
After much thought, Gu Lu chose Lu Ping to talk about physical education students.
There are still many things to do, so I went to the living room to open the package. Inside were one hundred copies of "The Prince of That Time".
That's right, it's a book sent from Neon. Xiangchuanshe has sales activities. Books signed by the author are required as prizes.
Gu Lu would definitely not refuse anything that would help book sales.
It was easy to sign a book, and Gu Lu wrote like a dragon and a phoenix. The signature is meant to be incomprehensible to others.
The Japanese version of The Little Prince’s royalties exceed the total royalties of Gu Lu’s many books published in China. Therefore, we still need to pay attention to such a promising market.
“I don’t know what’s going on with Bai Tongshe.” After signing, Gu Lu stood up and moved his body and arms. He was still a little tired after maintaining the same movement for a long time.
After the break, put the books back into the carton as they were. There are foam and air plastic bags, which are good anti-collision measures. After all, they are prizes. Don't be too bumpy.
Now that we have done it, we will do it together, use a trolley to pull the books, and walk to the express station that can send international parcels.
On the way, Gu Lu thought of the crisis that Vice President Sato mentioned.
"If this happens a few months later, that is, next year, I can ask for "The Devotion of Suspect X". It's too fast now." Gu Lu thought, his science fiction bomb would Published.
I don’t know when the publication date will be? !
Since we’re talking about publication dates, let’s check out the Children’s Publishing House.
Vice President Jin launched an attack today.
In the adult world, it is important to strike first to gain advantage, and to strike later to suffer disaster. He united many people from the head office and the publishing house, and combined internal and external efforts to get President Jian down.
So, at the early morning meeting, Vice President Jin prepared to attack.
The President Jian who was targeted is not a child either. He called his old friend yesterday. The vice president of Modu Century Publishing Company received a positive reply, "Don't worry, Old Jian. As far as Jin Yuanxin's business capabilities are concerned, if the publishing house is left to him, it will decline. Don't worry."
President Jian doesn’t know what flying dragon riding on the face is, but he knows that the referees and athletes are all my people, so what should I lose?
“Before discussing the direction of expansion, I have another thing to discuss,” said President Jian. “It’s still the same old rule, don’t disclose it, don’t leak it.”
Listen to this When I said that, I knew I was going to discuss a new book.
They are all senior executives of the publishing house. Naturally, they understand that leaking unpublished manuscripts is an industry taboo and no one will commit it.
"Writer Gu Lu's new book "Flowers for Algernon"," President Jian said, "Based on the sales volume of the writer's previous books and the quality of this book, I think we can give 18% .”
As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar.
Even though Gu Lu has one million-selling work and several half-million-selling works.
Eighteen percent also broke the internal record of Children's Publishing House. Looking at the market, those who can get 18% are a small group of writers at the top of the pyramid.
Publish the target yourself, then don’t blame me. Vice President Jin was the first to speak.
He said: "With this ratio, if the sales volume is less than 500,000 copies, our publishing house will not make any money at all. In addition, if you give this royalty rate to a minor writer, aren't you destroying the publishing market? ”
Someone took the lead, so all the follow-up words came out.
"Yes, this ratio is too high. The last book "Flatland" was only 16%. Even if the sales of the previous book were good, don't increase so much at once. Seventeen percent is good "
"Isn't it better to keep it at 16%? This royalty rate is already at the top level in our country."
"There still needs to be an increase, Gu Lu has. Our publisher is not the only one who can be a good writer, so 17% is good.”
Chaotic comments.
President Jian had anticipated that this situation would arise and was not panicked at all. He would wait until the discussion became quieter before speaking again.
But the discussion became quieter, and before President Jian could speak, assistant Cai Mian knocked on the door of the conference room.
If nothing happened, the assistant would definitely not disturb him at this time, so they all looked sideways and waited for him to say something.
"President Jian, Mr. Lu from the head office just called to tell him that he will come to the Children's Publishing House in the afternoon." Assistant Cai Mian also reported straight to the point, "It will be there in a few minutes. .”
The first four words that come to mind are those who come with bad intentions! As a boss, it is normal to come to the publishing house on behalf of the headquarters. What's unusual is that normally, this matter would have to be communicated a week in advance.
The words "surprise attack" floated in the minds of other publishing house executives. In the entire conference room, probably only Vice President Jin had a calm expression.
"Get ready, get ready to welcome Mr. Lu." President Jian glanced at Vice President Jin, feeling inexplicably panicked. But his old friend at the head office didn't need to lie to him. Because if you don’t want to say anything, you can just say you don’t know. We are all adults and we won’t ask questions.
Even though he was panicking, President Jian, who had seen big storms, still steadied himself and greeted the boss with the leadership of the publishing house.
Century Publishing Company is an industry giant, and its leader, Mr. Lu, is a fifty-three-year-old man. The clothes are also in dark colors. If the face is not smiling and has slightly long cheeks, it will look very serious.
Although Mr. Lu looked serious, there were only two people around him, so the scene was not big.
"Welcome Mr. Lu to inspect the publishing house," President Jian said.
“It’s not an inspection, just a casual look,” Mr. Lu said, “Don’t make it so grand, just do your own thing. What were you doing before?”
Head Office The boss came over to take a look. Will anyone believe what you said? President Jian showed no reaction on his face and replied, "We are meeting to discuss some specific issues."
"That's just right, I also have something to announce," Mr. Lu said, "Since the meeting is on, then There is no need to find anyone in particular.”
I want to announce something...
When everyone returned to the conference room, they all seemed very silent, as if it was the false calm on the sea before the stormy waves were about to come.
"President Jian has been the president of Children's Publishing House for eight years, right?" Mr. Lu asked first.
Similar problems, either dismissal or promotion or salary increase.
"Almost nine years," President Jian suddenly became very calm.
“There are so many nine years in life.” Mr. Lu said, “Children’s Publishing House has achieved good development under the leadership of President Jian. Please applaud President Jian.”
Bang bang bang, there was applause.
"If there is no accident, the head office will not transfer President Jian, but the Magic City Literature and Art Publishing House is really bad." Mr. Lu said, "President Jian, the head office would like to trouble you to rescue This publishing house.”
It’s true, it actually moved President Jian away.
Before Vice President Jin’s smile spread, he heard Mr. Lu continue to say:
“As for the president of Children’s and Teenagers Publishing House, President Yuan Mingjie and President Yuan next to me will take over. ”
