Chapter 320 Global Times released!
After solving the difficulty, he felt refreshed and the sweet-scented osmanthus tree became more beautiful before Gu Lu’s eyes.
"Why is it different from what I imagined?" Gu Jiayu muttered.
“What’s different?” Gu Lu asked.
"It's just——" the heroine drawled, "I thought it would be very troublesome."
"It's quite troublesome. If you hadn't gone there several times and let Teacher Zhu know the situation, it wouldn't be so convenient." Gu Lu said.
The heroine is doubtful, is that so?
“You take at least 50% of the credit this time, and I take 60%.”
“Why is there an extra 10%?”
“Because it’s unreliable. Pu’s parents owe us 10%.”
Gu Lu planned to celebrate the success of his day study, so he invited the heroine to dinner.
However, the current procedures have not been completed, and her school badge cannot go out yet.
Most high schools have two types of school ID cards (student ID cards), but No. 8 High School is special in having three types of school ID cards.
The first type is the dark blue card Gu Jiayu holds in his hand, which can be used to charge money to use the canteen. The other type was taken by day students such as Li Guyuan. It was lighter and greener in color.
The last is the red card, there is only one, and it is in Gu Lu’s hand. It is somewhat similar to the meal cards of teachers, but there are differences. I will talk about its specific function when I have a chance.
"Hey, I really can't help it, so I'll reluctantly help you eat together." Gu Lu looked very embarrassed, "What do you want to eat? I'll eat two portions."
"?" Female Hero Looking at Gu Lu, is this his brother?
"If not, how about hot pot? Haha, barbecue seems good too." Gu Lu said.
"Then let's have hot pot! I love spicy food, brother, please order extra spicy, extra spicy!"
There was the last class in the afternoon, and Gu Lu left directly after finishing it. Poor guy The heroine also has to study in the evening.
While diligently studying in the evening, Gu Jiayu suddenly remembered something, "Oops!"
She shouldn't let her brother eat hot pot, which is very spicy. She remembered that Gu Lu had a bad stomach. You have to choose the one that eats barbecue!
During the evening self-study, the students were all very quiet. Gu Jiayu’s actions became conspicuous and he was instantly criticized by the teacher sitting on the podium.
So did Gu Lu go to hotpot? No.
My junior high school classmate Fan Xiaotian is not as honest in this regard. Xiaotian said that if he helped to go to the toilet, he would definitely change two slots to pee.
The new house is almost finished, and the day study can be completed on Friday. Therefore, Gu Lu wanted to move things there as soon as possible. He was carrying a big backpack and carrying things like an ant.
Just think of it as exercise.
“The design of the road at the entrance of the community is really unreasonable. It happens to be a visual blind spot. It’s okay to go back to the community from the outside, but when you come out of the community, there are ghost probes.”
Vehicles Pedestrians cannot be seen in the field of vision. Correspondingly, it is difficult for pedestrians to see the car on the left.
When he has time, Gu Lu must make a suggestion and ask the community to put up a warning sign.
As soon as he got home, Gu Lu received a call from his landlord.
The indifferent landlord answered the phone and heard the other person say: "Hey, Xiao Gu, you said you won't rent in December, right?"
"To be precise, it's the end of December. My rent is paid quarterly, and it will be due after December." Gu Lu responded.
"Okay, can I bring the tenant to see the house now?" The landlord asked, "I happen to be here with the tenant, is it convenient for you?"
" Of course there’s no problem with viewing the house, but it’s already half past nine, which is too late.” Gu Lu said, “How about tomorrow at 6 p.m.”
The landlord thought about it again and again, and felt it made sense, so he hung up the phone.
Beside him stood the new tenants, two college students who had just graduated from majors.
Why come to Sha District to rent a house? Because the unit where the two interns is "Mountain City Morning News", the headquarters of the newspaper is here.
“Let’s wait until tomorrow to see the house. The tenant is also a student, so it’s not convenient at night.” The landlord said.
"That's okay, but does this house really meet our requirements?" asked the tall Hu Zhuanzi.
Hu Zhuanzi must be a nickname, and the other one’s nickname is Black Face. As for why we have this nickname, that’s a long story. Let’s keep it short.
"I am definitely satisfied. Our community is very quiet." The landlord said, "That student is a student from No. 8 Middle School. He studies here with me and his academic performance is very good."
"And He is a very polite child." The landlord praised him. What he meant by politeness was that Gu Lu closed the security window himself without costing him a penny.
No. 8 Middle School in Fog City? Hu Zuanzi nodded silently, this school is quite good. But if a person is renting a house outside, is he a high school senior preparing to sprint next year?
“This community is good.” The black face who had been silent said, his face was really dark. Fortunately, the street lights were repaired, otherwise he would be invisible in this place.
"The roads and streetlights in the communities we looked at before were in disrepair, but here it's pretty good," Black Face said.
Look at the ground, there are no bumps or holes, it is flat.
"Of course, our neighbors here take good care of public facilities." To be honest, the rent is usually paid by bank transfer. The landlord who has not been here for half a year is also surprised. When did the community get so well repaired?
Hu Zhuanzi and Hei Mian are really clear-headed and stupid college students. When negotiating the price of renting a house, you must not say XX is good, otherwise how can the price be lowered.
You see the landlord immediately said, "There are really not many such good communities left, so there is really no way to lower the rent."
"Uh..." Hu Zhuanzi and Hei Lian looked at each other and tried to bargain but failed.
"And if necessary, I can let you move in at the beginning of December." The landlord set out the conditions.
"Oh?" Hu Zhuanzi said, "I heard on the phone just now that the house is due at the end of December. Do you want to refund one month's rent?"
"Don't worry about it. Anyway, I have a way." The landlord said, "You can cheat me by returning some money." It's like the high school student promised to install anti-theft windows but didn't answer the phone. Didn't the high school student give in? Good people may not necessarily be rewarded with good things, but good people will definitely be bullied.
Hearing this, it felt like it was okay, and the two of them moved.
"Look, our place is quite lively at night. There is no shortage of barbecues and hot pots outside." The landlord continued.
The rent that the two college students negotiated was two hundred more expensive than Gu Lu...
The barbecue restaurant at the corner of the street was very crowded, of course not as many as in summer. But it’s also quite lively.
The excitement burns the night away.
Burning down the night becomes day.
There is a seven-hour time difference between Britain and China, and it is daytime at the moment.
"Tom, I can't help it. I really can't help it." The 16-meter-tall, rather neutral-looking Bing Ge was twisted, as if he had just been taken out of a field. loach.
"Stop! Accusative, just stand there!" Tom is Yao Xiaoju's English name.
The land under his feet was the United Kingdom, a country nicknamed rotten. Coupled with the appearance and movements of Bing Ge in front of him, it really frightened him.
Yao Xiaoju just suffered emotional trauma, but he didn’t want to change his sexual orientation.
"I have something very important to tell you." As he spoke, Binger took two more steps over there.
"Let's just say, I have very good hearing." Yao Xiaoju said.
"Oh," Binger said, "Are you sure it is really Gu Lu's first time in London?"
"Sure." Yao Xiaoju nodded.
"Do you know any British friends? People like them who live in South Sinkton." Binger asked again. After spending so many years in the UK, Yao Xiaoju certainly understood what the other party meant. South Sinkington is a wealthy area to the west of central London, a well-established wealthy area. Equivalent to the new archway in the foggy city, Tongzi Forest in Rongcheng.
"I don't know, maybe I know him." He replied, it was really unclear. Yao Xiaoju has the ethics of a professional agent. He only cares about operations and sales, and never interferes with the author's creation. He has never asked, so of course he doesn't know.
"I think I must know him. The Holmes described by Gu Lu is so much like the old Nancy Kenton." Binger suddenly said, "Tom, thank you for giving me this opportunity to translate "Sherlock Holmes" "Mr.", a chance to see their ugly behavior. "
Binge himself is a mystery writer, and has also translated "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness", and has excellent Chinese skills. It is a translator carefully selected by Yao Xiaoju.
Howard Goldblatt, the translator of The Little Prince, is an excellent translator who studied under Burns, the best Chinese linguist in the UK. It can be translated that the more suitable the better, not the more famous the better. Yao Xiaoju's understanding of this aspect is absolutely no problem.
"Deductive Reasoning, do you know?" Bingle asked.
Yao Xiaoju shook his head, this involved a blind spot in his knowledge. Introducing the accusative case, the Deductive Reasoning website is a website dedicated to sharing and demonstrating the application of deductive methods in reality. It is also the largest forum for discussion of mystery novels in the UK.
Two of the world's three great mystery masters are British, which proves that Britain is very receptive to mystery novels.
[Puffin Books is sure to introduce Gu Lu’s "Mr. Holmes"? I thought today was April Fools' Day. ]
[Mystery novels require very rigorous logic, which is undoubtedly something that Chinese writer Gu Lu does not possess. ]
[Judging from "The Haze in Weymouth" and "The Horror at Portsham", Gu Lu has the ability to write mystery novels, but he should not touch Sherlock Holmes! ]
[Agree, Sherlock Holmes lives in Room B, No. 221 Baker Street. We all know what he looks like. Chinese writers should not try to describe a living person. ]
Wait a minute, Bingge showed these comments to Yao Xiaoju.
The British royal family awarded the great detective Sherlock Holmes a knighthood, and Baker Street, which used to be completely lackluster, has also become a protected building in the UK. Therefore, saying that Sherlock Holmes is a real person is a compliment to Conan Doyle for writing very well and being more real than a real person.
Of course, considering the influence of Sherlock Holmes, there are really British people who believe it to be true.
"Mr. Holmes" conquered Accused, which is normal when you think about it. As one of the two Sherlock Holmes films (the other one is "The House of Silk"), it has this charm.
"In this case, Mr. Binger, your translation should be faster." Yao Xiaoju said.
“Of course, I am very eager to see these people swallow their evaluations.” Binger said, “In half a month at most, my translation work will be completed.”
Why does Binger hate deductive reasoning forums so much? Because of his mystery novels, people on this forum rated him as "the most disappointing mystery novel in 2011." Apparently he sold more than 300,000 copies.
Junk forum, random comments!
After confirming that he was a partner and had no "address book" tendency, Yao Xiaoju left.
It is getting late in London.
The darkness of Britain is the rising sun of China.
Early in the morning, the Global Times broke a big news.
The headline on the British page of Global Times is "Who is the strongest fairy tale writer in China?" 》
[The list of the "Top Ten Most Popular Fairy Tale Writers" in 2012 announced by the China Literary Copyright Association (hereinafter referred to as the Literary Copyright Association) includes Zheng Yuanjie, Cao Wenxuan, Gu Lu, Yang Hongying, Sun Youjun, Shen Shixi, Zheng Chunhua, Leo Phantom, Ren Rongrong, Chen Bochui. According to data from the Literary and Art Literature Association, ten writers earned nearly 74.8 million yuan in book royalties in the past year.
The Director-General of the Literature and Art Association told the Global Times reporter that a small number of the ten children's literature writers and translators have passed away, but the copyright of their works is still within the protection period. The enduring popularity of their works is inseparable from the background of the extracurricular reading books recommended by relevant departments for primary and secondary schools. For example, Mr. Chen Bochui's "An Excellent Horse" is a textbook for the second grade of primary school, and most of his works are also included in students' extracurricular extended reading books.
At the same time, cartoons are also an important communication channel for fairy tale works. Works such as Teacher Zheng Chunhua's "Big-Headed Son and Little-Headed Dad", Teacher Yang Hongying's "The Naughty Horse Little Tiao", and Teacher Zheng Yuanjie's "Shuke and Beta" are many children's childhood spent squatting in front of the TV.
“Since 2008, affected by the decline in sales performance in the book market, statistics from our Literature and Art Association show that compared with the top ten writers’ royalties of more than 84.1 million yuan in 2011, the royalties of the top ten writers in 2012 dropped by 100%. Eleven points. But we can also see hope. Many new fairy tale writers have emerged. Leo Huanxiang is a writer born in the 1980s, and Gu Lu is a writer born in the 1990s.”]
The audience saw this. At first, I thought it was just a clickbait.
Say what is the strongest, and the result is a rich list of fairy tale writers.
But the key content lies behind -
[Zheng Yuanjie has ranked first in domestic sales and the number of readers attending the book signing for many years in a row. However, as a large number of Chinese literary works went overseas, refreshing local readers, children's literature also began its journey.
Gu Lu's work "The Little Prince" depicts the exploration and understanding of the world from a child's perspective. Art has no national boundaries. It has aroused widespread resonance among people and has been successfully exported overseas.
Cumulative sales volume in Neon is 780,000 copies.
Cumulative sales of 90,000 copies in South Korea.
After only half a month on the market in the UK, sales exceeded 100,000 copies.
As a Chinese, Gu Lu held a book signing in London. His formal attitude, neither humble nor overbearing, and humorous words and deeds demonstrated the traditional Chinese culture rooted in his bones, attracting many overseas readers to leave messages on social media. discuss.
Seventeen-year-old Gu Lu, born in Yongchuan in 1996, is a pioneer in Chinese children's literature! He is currently the most influential children's writer overseas.
With the continuous improvement of Chinese creators and the deepening of international cultural exchanges, Chinese children's literature has shown strong vitality. At present, the overseas spread of Chinese children's literature...]
What follows is value improvement, and what about looking at the rise of domestic education from children's literature.
After all, the Global Times is a newspaper affiliated with Renren Daily. It would be strange not to have this tail, but we just cut off the tail and omit it.
But later, the Global Times also interviewed a professor from the School of Liberal Arts of NTU.
The professor spoke with great skill, "The huge potential of Chinese children's literature and comics has yet to be explored. We should learn from the experience of Hong Kong film workers in the last century in spreading Chinese Kung Fu, and let more people learn about it through wonderful comics and literary stories. Foreign audiences fall in love with Chinese elements. European and American audiences have always added the word "mysterious" when mentioning Chinese culture, but the prerequisite for understanding it is to break the mystery. Gu Lu is a creator in the new era, growing up in an era of rapid information dissemination. . He is a good communicator.”
It is true that “mystery” is a relatively neutral word in foreigners’ language habits. It can be mysterious and powerful, or it can be mysterious and evil.
Gu Lu also saw the newspaper for the first time. It was Zheng Yuanjie at home and Gu Lu abroad. He agreed.
Now his overseas influence should be the first among fairy tale writers, and he can stay at the top of the list for another three years.
If the development trajectory is similar, Cao Wenxuan will win the "International Andersen Award" in 2016. It is held once every two years and can only be won once in a lifetime by a writer. It is the highest award in the field of fairy tales and novels in the world. By then, Cao's works will be translated into more than ten languages and become popular around the world.
Wait a minute, that’s not right, there are still three years left, let him perform, Gu Lu feels that he may not lose!
Global Times has sold hundreds of thousands of copies——
People in the industry thought that Gu Lu was just promoting and carrying the banner in Asia, and never thought that he would go to the UK again.
As mentioned before, the older group of people have certain illusions about Europe and the United States. There are a lot of people in this group in the cultural circle, so this news is quite hot!
For example, a professor from a certain university said, "Is it real or fake? "The Little Prince"...take the time to watch it."
A director from a certain entertainment industry said, "This kid is really amazing. ”
A staff member from the education department said, “If he is so scary at a young age, what will happen when he grows up? The key is that he can really convince the British. ”
A leader of a Writers Association, "a youth representative of the new era and a pioneer in the dissemination of Chinese culture."
Waiting, Gu Lu's status and value in the cultural circle are still increasing.
It can even be said that it has entered the eyes of many literary award judging panels.
If you want to ask, didn’t the judging panel see it before? Indeed, he was blinded by his age and qualifications.
The impact of the Global Times report on insiders is relatively subtle and not so obvious.
The visible ones are passers-by and people eating melons.
“The Little Prince is really both Chinese and Western. When I watched it before, I felt that it would definitely be popular in the UK and France too.”
“I know Gu Lu’s popularity in Asia. , he has always been outstanding. But is his popularity in the UK really so high? Did the newspaper exaggerate it, and it sparked discussion in the UK? Is there anyone who is interested and studying in the UK who can tell me?" br>
"Don't bother us with everything. It's really hard. I work at the First People's Hospital in London, and I prove that this is true."
"The First People's Hospital in London People’s Hospital?”
"As an exchange student in Oxford, Gu Lu is really famous in the UK - at least in London. Many people discuss it, although the content of the discussion is cough cough."
"Same, the British attitude towards Gu Lu may be It's different from what you imagined..."
You see, they all said don't let the Riddler get out of Gotham City, and now the Riddler is all over the world.
A group of Riddlers, until a brother climbed over the wall and carried the things back——
