Chapter 303 Is he your brother? !
The Invincible God of War: Sweet Crit: [Who is the kindest anime character? Doraemon! Because he always extends a helping hand to others.
Who is the kindest person in the domestic publishing industry? Children's Publishing House! Because he really gave his best writer to another publishing house. ]
daysping: [Logically speaking... it shouldn't be. Generally, the copyright contract between a publishing house and an author is for 3-5 years. Flatland and The Little Prince combined can bring in at least two to three million sales. Is it really poverty alleviation? ]
Fei Xue Liuli: [I feel like I can take the position of publisher president. At least I can hug him. ]
Doudou 35911: [You don’t even know what’s going on in the circle. I can’t reveal more, since this matter is very complicated anyway. According to my ex-girlfriend’s ex-girlfriend, children’s publishing houses seem to look down on “Flowers for Algernon” and won’t recommend it at all. Gu Lu left in anger. ]
It must be said that the narrative rhythm of netizen "Doudou 35911" is what netizens like to watch the most. Your indifference to me will make it impossible for you to reach high levels in the future.
This kind of seemingly insider information does no harm to Yuan Mingjie.
What really made him break through was another netizen.
Hell is Whispering: [Children's Publishing House said: The Little Prince, Ice Fruit, and Flatland are all very wonderful works. Teacher Gu Lu has worked closely with us before. I also wish Teacher Gu Lu a bright future in his creative career. ]
I have to say, the ID name is quite suitable for the occasion. It's so vicious, he actually repeated what Yuan Mingjie once said!
“Who would have thought that the sales volume of “Flowers for Algernon” could be so high?”
“Is Yu Xinyao with nothing to do? Why does Gu Lu come here every time he publishes a book? Blending?”
“Isn’t this the pursuit of genius? The Chinese people shouldn’t be so irrational!” All like this.
Yuan Mingjie was criticized by Mr. Lu for twenty minutes on the phone. So President Yuan found fault and criticized his subordinates. Scolding is not the key. The key is that the board of directors is dissatisfied with Yuan Mingjie for losing such a cash cow.
When the rumors pass, Yuan Mingjie is likely to retire early.
Mr. Lu still needs to deal with the aftermath of this matter.
Mr. Lu had no choice. Even though Century Publishing Group was very powerful, he did not dare to put pressure on New Youth Publishing.
And Gu Lu... is not an author who can be manipulated casually.
So I could only call President Jian.
President Jian, who took over the responsibility of the People's Publishing House in Shanghai, was extremely busy. Two or three months have passed, and at least I have sorted things out.
"Yes, sir, what instructions does Mr. Lu have?"
"It's just that we haven't called each other for a long time, so we just have a chat. After going to Shanghai People's Publishing House, did things go smoothly? ”
Even if Mr. Lu asked people to pick peaches, President Jian was actually not too angry. Because Mr. Lu always does things with a grain of salt, the level of Shanghai People's Publishing House is indeed higher than that of Children's Publishing House.
Just chatting...the relationship between the two has not reached that level.
President Jian knows why Mr. Lu called, and Mr. Lu also knows that President Jian knows why he called.
After greetings for more than ten minutes, Mr. Lu got down to business.
“Yuan Mingjie’s ability is completely inferior to that of you, Old Jian. No, it’s a mess. I need your help this time, Old Jian.”
“No, no, President Yuan is a publisher. He is an old man in the industry, and his abilities are definitely on par with mine.”
President Jian's reply is being translated into Chinese, "Then what's the cost of helping?"
"There is an industry conference. Yuan Mingjie has managed the publishing house like this, and he has no energy to go again. So. The head office decided to let Modu People’s Publishing House go.” Mr. Lu said.
Activities? President Jian responded that it should be an event organized by the Asian Studies Society of America, the 2013 Annual Meeting of the American Asia Society and the Asia Library Exhibition. Publishing houses that can participate will more or less get a share of the cake.
The national publicity department will promote the works exhibited at the exhibition for a period of time. Friends, you can recall whether some books will suddenly be pushed to the entire network during a certain period of time. In addition to the real strength of the publishing house, another possibility is the promotion task of official units.
"Then let me give it a try. I have been working in Children's Publishing House for many years and may be more familiar with the business model." President Jian said.
After the important things were discussed, there was no need to chat anymore. Mr. Lu hung up the phone.
President Jian looked at the message Xiao Gu sent a few days ago: [Uncle Jian, if you want me to say a few words to the Children's Publishing House online, I will do so at any time! ]
He still has emotional intelligence. Gu Lu doesn’t like Yuan Mingjie, but he has no grudge against the publishing house. Even during the two book signings, I had a good time getting along with the camp editor and staff.
The current sales volume of the work is enough for the new president to drink a pot.
[That would be troublesome. After all, I have been in the publishing house for so many years. ] President Jian sent a message to Xiao Gu, lamenting that now he owed a favor.
Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships.
School is not about worldliness, it is about points.
"Boss, do you know how long I have been waiting for today?" Zhang Liwan was very excited, "I am a senior this year, and this is also the last semester for me to participate in club activities."
< br>“I really want to thank you for fulfilling my dream!” Zhang Liwan, the president of Time Radio, expressed her gratitude.
More than half a year ago, when Gu Lu’s identity was exposed, Zhang Liwan made an appointment for an exclusive interview.
But... King Gulu often accepts interviews from newspapers such as Pioneer News, Wudu Daily, and Literary News. I always felt that Zhang Liwan was a bit of a joke, so I kept saying next time, next time...
Gu Lu was still a little embarrassed, and occasionally he still had to talk about the world.
"Low-key and low-key," Gu Lu said, "Then when are we going to start?"
"Now!" Zhang Liwan has also seen pigs running, and has seen how many professional reporters conduct interviews Gu Lu.
So the words are spoken in a certain way.
But the two core members of Time Radio nearby were very nervous, even more nervous than the last time they interviewed Principal Chang.
“Is this the legendary domineering domineering look?” members who love watching anime thought so.
What a useless thing! The reporter was more nervous and unqualified than the interviewer, Zhang Liwan thought when she saw this.
I won’t go into details about the specific interview content, it is relatively general. These are commonplace questions.
An hour after the interview ended, Gu Lu left, and the two people next to him immediately sat on the stools.
"I'm tired. I feel like I interviewed a star. This should be the most famous person I can interview in my career."
"Hahaha, this should be a highlight of my high school club. ”
Too powerful to be chased by, Zhang Liwan thought to herself. Just taking the time to be interviewed can become a flashpoint in someone else's high school career.
Zhang Liwan also wants to be a reporter after graduation, and she encourages herself in her heart. When you graduate from college and become a formal reporter, you must interview more famous people!
It’s better!
Gu Lu could not know about this. He returned to the club office. The afternoon was the most critical time for the entire school club.
"What should we do? What should we do?" Gu Lu frowned.
Sun Wang, the instructor of the publication club, immediately asked, "What difficulties did the president encounter?"
"There are too many funds and we can't spend them all." Gu Lu sighed heavily.
"?" As the most special instructor of No. 8 Middle School, Sun Wang does not have club funds, but is this too offensive?
"Publication Club, each issue of printed publications currently costs about 500 to 800 volumes. Apart from these expenses, there is still more than half that cannot be spent at all." Gu Lu said.
There were more than 20,000 yuan left in the last semester's funds. Gu Lu took the account book and wanted to transfer the remaining money back to the school.
What did Director Hu say?
"Xiao Gu, the funding for the publication club will increase next semester. Not to mention it will not be used up, our school has a certain amount based on the strong support of "Youth" and the publication club. The funding is not enough. , How can you call it a strong support? Xiao Gu, you are making it difficult for the school and Principal Chang to handle it.”
What else can you say? Gu Lu Alexander.
"Teacher Sun, you have rich experience. Do you have any... ways to use funds reasonably?" Gu Lu added, "The money must be spent on the club."
Experienced... in "Business Story" magazine Sun Wang, who has been in office for such a long time, has some experience.
"How about a payment for the manuscript?" Sun Wang was interrupted by the president just as he said it, so he immediately added, "Not directly, but in the form of items."
"A payment for the manuscript. , the nature of our "Youth" has changed. So gifts like stationery are no problem," Sun Wang said, "Because the scope of the call for submissions is middle and high school, stationery is definitely needed."
That makes sense! Gu Lu calculated that each issue would require about twenty articles. Even if each author is given 50 yuan worth of stationery, the monthly expenses will only be over 1,000 yuan. The funds are more than sufficient.
"President, I have some experience in buying gifts, so I can write a plan." Sun Wang did not act like a teacher in the publication club. Instead, he regarded Gu Lu as his immediate boss.
To put it bluntly, the publication club exists because of Gu Lu.
"Excuse me, Teacher Sun. I'll contact the partner who ordered the stationery." Gu Lu has really grown a lot from being the shopkeeper to now.
In the past, at this time, he would leave everything to the instructor. It was like leaving the whole matter of contacting the school to Tangyuan.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, there is a club recruitment meeting in Wudu No. 8 Middle School!
Very, very lively.
Looking from a distance, it looks more boiling than a boiling butter hot pot.
The churning hairy belly—ahem, no, it’s the churning high school student.
"If you want to join our basketball club, your jumping ability must meet the standard." Lu Ping put his hands in his hands and looked seriously.
“But it’s too difficult, isn’t it?” “It’s so demanding to join a club.” “Forget it, just switch to football. They’re all balls anyway, there’s no difference.” Many freshmen were persuaded to quit.
"Look carefully, this is the No. 8 Middle School basketball team!" Even if the gymnasium was very noisy, Lu Ping's voice was enough to cover up other noises.
“I heard someone say that there is something special about the No. 8 Middle School basketball team. I will tell you what is special right now. We are the only high school that can play international competitions with Neon High School during the summer vacation. Do you know ? "Because of our strength, we are drawn into the existence of neon comics"
"Do you understand?"
This statement. It seemed that a sound-silencing spell had been cast in a small area, and there was no sound in a small area.
This is too exaggerated, is it true? A high school team has international competition?
Why don’t you publish comics? Bragging is a bit out of drafting.
"It's true. Last year, the Zhejiang Provincial Publishing House published the comic "Kuroko's Basketball". The extra chapter is about the protagonist team fighting against the Eighth Squadron in Fog City. If it weren't for Kagami and Kuroko in the end, the two would be bound together. Something like that, and then he exploded and almost lost. "There were still comic fans in the crowd.
"We won by fifteen points against the Neon High School team last year." This is why Lu Ping is so awesome.
Neon's current amateur basketball level across the country is really not good (because the system is chaotic and has not yet been reformed), and it is actually beaten by Lu Ping and others.
Damn it, you can write a good notebook for your childhood, and the students are even more enthusiastic about signing up.
Seeing this, other clubs are not to be outdone -
Xiaodangjia Food Club, because it has to keep enough funds, the free delicacy for recruiting new members is dumplings. It's not quick-frozen, it's packaged by the club members themselves.
The animation club displays comic books drawn by its own club. It is still a martial arts theme, and I have to say that the painting is okay, but the plot is really bad.
Qinglan Hanfu Club is an on-site Q&A interaction. If you want to join the club, you have to pass this test.
Dance club... Needless to say, the members of the club are dressed in dance costumes. Just standing there is enough to become the focus of the audience.
Anyway, Gu Jiayu couldn't move her eyes away. She murmured to herself, "These sisters are so beautiful, and are they going to die? Their legs are so long!"
This is something I have never seen before. Now that the world has come to an end, she has not seen Qi Caiwei, whose body proportions are more perfect. For girls, their body development is almost the same in the second and third grades of junior high school.
"Jiajia has come to her senses, let's go over there and have a look." Shu Rou said.
"Oh, okay." Gu Jiayu nodded.
Nuxia, Shu Rou, and Tang Tian were still in a group of three and came to the Shuren Literature Club.
Zhang Liru, the president of the literary club (the twin sister of Zhang Liwan), is playing the CD of previous performances by club members. There are several very important performances that have been burned onto CDs.
The three-person group walked around, just like shopping around.
“The clubs in No. 8 Middle School are pretty awesome too. They all feel so formal.” Shu Rou sighed, “I wanted to join the Model United Nations, but I didn’t expect to have to take an on-the-spot exam. It’s so difficult.”
"Then Shu Shu, you gave up?" Gu Jiayu asked.
"What are you giving up? Give up. Have you seen the president of the Model United Nations? It's President Zhou. She is my idol. She is so heroic. I even went to watch the competition." Shu Rou said, "No matter how difficult it is, I will overcome it!"< br>
“Model United Nations is not difficult, it is just a test of reaction ability, and many freshmen still passed it. The publication club over there is more difficult, and only two freshmen have passed it now.” A freshman from Sheniu High School passing by Hearing the conversation between the three of them, he explained casually.
Look carefully, there are actually more freshmen surrounding the Journal Club than the Basketball Club, second only to the Dance Club.
"I give you a moment of silence." Shu Rou said to Tang Tian, who wanted to join the publication club.
Hearing this introduction, Tang Tian also backed down. How about choosing the best among the best?
"Let's go over and have a look." Gu Jiayu said suddenly. She wanted to see her brother as the president.
Like a dumpling with three layers of skin and one filling, the publishing house was surrounded by a tight crowd.
"Let me, thank you" "Brother, let me" Shu Rou's voice was quite loud, and they struggled to squeeze in.
The three people from the publication club are sitting there with similar demeanor to the three navy generals.
President Gu Lu, Vice President Li Guyuan, Editor-in-Chief Qi Caiwei! That's right, the instructor Sun Wang is screening the new students who have signed up.
"This is Gu Lu. He looks different from other students." Shu Rou said.
Tang Tian nodded in agreement, "Although the boy next to him is tall and the girl on the left is pretty, he still saw Gu Lu at first sight!"
Nonsense, he sat in the middle.
Because when you join a publication, you will face review, and review is very subjective, so it is normal for the threshold to be higher.
When Tang Tian was pushed by Shu Rou to line up, and then Gu Jiayu was accompanying him...
"Jiayu, do you want to join our publication club?" Gu Lu looked up and saw his sister. Then he remembered what he had promised.
Suddenly, everyone’s eyes followed Gu Lu’s gaze.
"Zhenlu, your sister also passed the No. 8 Middle School exam, why didn't you tell me." Qi Caiwei and Li Guyuan had both been to the last birthday party, so they both knew Gu Jiayu.
Gu Lu stood up and said hello, "Jiayu, come here."
What does it mean to be in the spotlight? Gu Jiayu was instantly stared at by the freshmen who came to take the assessment, with hot eyes.
"Gu Lu's sister?"
"The boss is beside me?"
The above is the reaction of Shu Rou and Tang Tian...
"I want to participate in the dance My friend wants to join the publication club. "Gu Jiayu is outgoing, but he is still nervous when being stared at by so many people.
However, every time I feel that Sister Qi has a really good figure, whether she is sitting or standing.
"Your friend, if she is qualified, I will definitely recruit her into the club." Gu Lu said, "Since you are going to the dance club, go ahead and I will come over to see you after I finish."
Now Gu Lu The heroine left very nicely.
"Come on." Gu Jiayu pulled Shu Rou away and then cheered for Tang Tian.
When you go a little further, you leave the scope of the publication.
Suddenly, Shu Rou made the sound of a kettle boiling——
"Ah, ah, ah, Jiajia, you are actually Gu Lu's sister. You are actually Gu Lu's sister."
"You are still not a good sister, but you didn't even tell me."
"I need to slow down, it's too crazy!"
Not only was the voice sharp, Shu Rou also took Gu Jiayu's arm and shook it wildly. He said to slow down, but he didn't give the latter a chance to speak.
"I feel like there's nothing to say..." Gu Jiayu was interrupted by Shu Rou before he finished speaking.
"Nothing to say? He's Gu Lu. Do you know how many times my junior high school Chinese teacher whispered it in my ear?" Shu Rou said, "You must ask for my signature."
"But "Shu Shu, don't you read novels?" Although Gu Jiayu has not known her for a long time, she also knows that Shu Rou doesn't like reading.
"Is it important whether he can read or not? What is important is that he is very good." Shu Rou said.
Shu Rou was so excited that she even forgot about joining the Model United Nations and kept asking about Gu Lu.
The events developed in parallel. The school was lively inside and the school was equally lively outside.
Especially the voting announcement of "Sina Reading" and the voting for the main article.
[Haha, enough proof. Any literary writing method, if it doesn’t work, it just doesn’t work! Horrible and supernatural, but not scary, what's the use of anything else, no matter how awesome it is? If Gu Lu doesn't change his writing style, it will get worse and worse and go astray! ]
Gu Lu Bar has been occupying Science Fiction for more than a month, and finally there is other news.
However, supernatural novels appear to be ridiculed.
Because neither "Random Thoughts" nor "Possibility of Evil" won the stage.
You know, Gu Lu's "Iron Pillar" was so scornful in the past!
Always so charming: [The realm is different. Although Gu Lu is young, he thinks more. After giving up the previous numbing storytelling method, I feel that the author Yi Zhang Huang has the demeanor of the former teacher Gu Lu. ]
The next step is a bit crooked. Yi Zhang Huang is a pen name. It is difficult for magazines like "New Reading" to have a pen name, but being able to write the main article is an exception. Yi Zhang Huang is a popular new writer at present.
"Fortunately, Gu Lu doesn't look down on the trivial things like supernatural beings." Yi Zhanghuang is a college student who has just graduated two years ago.
Why is supernatural horror more developed abroad than in China? The reason is very straightforward, because it can be adapted by film and television rights. After all, horror and supernatural movies are perfect for shooting low-budget movies. Domestically...let alone movies and TV dramas, in two years' time, the ISBN of supernatural horror novels will be restricted by the social environment.
Therefore, even if the domestic group has more supernatural horror than science fiction and mystery, it is not wrong for Yi Zhanghuang to say that supernatural horror is only marginal.
"Gu Lu is really a genius, if I'm not mistaken. He wants to elevate the horror and supernatural to the level of literature, but how can he succeed!"
Yizhang Huang Xinxin Thinking about it, it turns out that he still has to carry the banner of supernatural beings in the future.
That’s right, “Always So Charming” is his nickname.
When he learned that Gu Lu had returned, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Thank you!
