Chapter 361 The Father of Cthulhu
However, among domestic friends, when it comes to Teacher Neon, they should be more familiar with Teacher Mikami and Teacher Asuka.
Wenchun Weekly reporter thought this in his heart, but there are some things that we really shouldn’t say nonsense, even if we are reporters.
"No, it's just that Mr. Katsuda's status from a child prodigy on Kyushu Island to the number one genius in the country has been achieved through his works." The reporter said, "Just giving up the achievements achieved in the first half of his life, if there is no sudden The accident is a very incredible thing."
"You are very reasonable," Katsumaru said, "I will tell you something that most people may not know. The idea of "The Devotion of
Then what? Do you mean that Gu Lu from five years ago could actually defeat you? The reporters at Weekly Wenchun really want the person in front of them to fast forward to the key topic. After all, the speech of the person in front of you is equivalent to digging into your own foundation.
“Why is it that Gu Lu-san, a foreigner, pays attention to the valley area, but why do our countrymen turn a blind eye?” Katsudauchimaru said with emotion, “The area near the Bridge of Tears is like a place in a city like Tokyo. Acne, we are ashamed to talk about it!”
Wen Chun, a reporter from Weekly, is speechless. If you have these questions, ask the ruling party. Why are you asking me, a reporter from Gossip Weekly?
"So I think I have a more important task than creating." Katsudauchimaru said loudly, "The first step is to lift all the people in the valley out of poverty."
The reporter didn't believe it. He was thinking, is it possible that the meatball in front of him is so high-profile that he wants to join politics?
"Are there any questions? If there are no questions, please Mr. Reporter, please help me announce something." Katsudauchi Maru said, "Next, I will sell all the copyrights of most of my books, and the funds will be used to improve the mountainous areas. I hope companies and TV stations can contact me if they need it.”
It’s still advertising.
Is Katanai Maru red? Definitely not. Do you still remember his evaluation after watching "The Devotion of Suspect X"?
The vagabonds of the valley must be very proud to appear in the book and pull off the wonderful trick. It's all about guessing the homeless man's thoughts from a superior perspective, and this kind of thoughts will definitely not be popular. And now Katsudauchi Maru also wants to use the Tramp to complete a "feat".
There is a stubborn problem near the Bridge of Tears, and even though so many ruling parties have changed, no one can solve it. If Katanai Maru can be solved, it will go down in history!
When the news of his interview was released, the editor-in-chief of Zhecheng and Inoue...oh no, the latter had given up on Katsuda. The former saw it and was very worried about the other party's mental state. When they asked each other to meet at a coffee shop, Zhecheng heard these words.
"Zhecheng-san, do you know why our neon vending machines have the largest number of vending machines in the world? Because of space cost and labor cost. Other technical and disaster considerations are secondary. . ”
“Neon is one of the countries with the highest population density, especially in Tokyo. This directly leads to the expensiveness of land, and it is difficult for retail stores smaller than convenience stores to survive. The feature of saving space and only needing to load goods can also save labor costs.”
“So Zhecheng Sang, is there a lack of space in the valley? Isn’t there a lack of cheap labor, only safety? Guarantee. So if I can solve the safety problem and open a large number of stores, as long as I have stable income, I will no longer be a poor person. I named this plan 'The Miracle of the Tramp'!"
Don't worry! Regardless of whether it was reliable or not, Zhecheng discovered that... the guy in front of him was actually serious!
What more can be said? Before leaving, Zhecheng could only say, "I feel relieved when I see Shengduo that you are very motivated."
Go ahead and do it. Anyway, I didn't earn the money you wasted. Zhecheng thought.
As a digression about neon, due to the return of Gu Lu, 6 Clubs began to be active again. More than one million pieces were sold in two weeks, of which at least 100,000 were sold due to the members’ hard work.
“You want to buy the copyright again so soon?” Gu Lu was unexpected.
“Because the suspect is so crazy.” Yao Xiaoju laughed on the other end of the phone.
Yao Xiaoju continued, "Both Shochiku and Toei have given good prices, and the latter has a higher price. It's just that I am more optimistic about Shochiku Pictures."
Gu Lu agrees very much with the agent's views. Toei's production capabilities are definitely stronger, but he has not forgotten what happened a few years ago at all.
At that time, Toei was preparing to purchase "Flowers for Algernon", but due to public opinion (Sheng Duo surpassed Gu Lu), it regretted when the contract was signed.
If that’s the case, forget it. The author’s reputation is the cornerstone of the selling price of his works. But Toei didn't want to give up, so it used this matter to maliciously lower the price, trying to buy the filming rights at one-tenth of the original price.
At that time, Yao Xiaoju and Gu Lu agreed that they would not sell it directly.
"Brother Xiao Gu, we may win the Naoki Award this year." Yao Xiaoju changed the topic, "Of course this matter is not important. Let's talk about something important. Do you still plan to continue writing the Cthulhu series?"
The topic jumps a little too quickly, right? Gu Lu pondered for a moment and asked, "How many people still remember the British Cthulhu series?"
"Cthulhu is the future of horror novels!" For some reason, Yao Xiaoju felt that he might have been infected by Kane. , such a sentence suddenly came out of his mouth. "Ahem." He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment. Yao Xiaoju said, "The Cthulhu series has even left the British market and has a certain influence in most of the English-speaking world. To put it another way, Wikipedia has a certain influence on Xiao Gu Brother, the title of the father of Cthulhu is still ahead of the fairy tale writers."
Can the Cthulhu series develop so fast? Gu Lu was a little strange.
Immediately afterwards, Yao Xiaoju talked about why he could develop and grow. Gu Lu couldn't believe it. Why did the story unfold so unexpectedly?
He remembered an animation in his mind, in which the two of them were surrounded by a group of big men. At this time, one of them said "Be careful", and then he saw the speaker unknowingly joining the Han camp...
After five years of development, Cthulhu has two mountain ranges. One of them, Kane, detailed the world of Cthulhu. The other person is Hollywood's McDane. He is a screenwriter and has written Cthulhu-style works such as "Annihilation", making this series popular in the film and television industry!
Including Gu Lu, the founder, they can be collectively referred to as the Big Three of Cthulhu!
"Brother Gu, the English world is not easy to break into. Last time, I only became famous in the UK." Yao Xiaoju said, "If you still want to hit the English market this time, you can consider using Kesu The return of the Father of Cthulhu is a great start to the series."
"Color of Stars", "Call of Cthulhu", "Rat in the Wall", "Whispering in the Dark Night", Gu Lu counted and there were still a few bombs that had not been thrown.
"I will write two articles when I have time." Gu Lu responded.
The English creative market is exclusive--to be precise, it is very exaggerated. Cthulhu can have this status today, thanks to the promotion of two natives of Dayang and America.
The popularity of "The Little Prince" is far less than that of "Mr. Holmes", which is the biggest proof. You write well, you are awesome, no problem. But you are Chinese and don’t read your works, that’s all.
There is nothing else to do. After so many years of cooperation, Yao Xiaoju rarely chatted.
After putting down the phone, Gu Lu took the time to go out. The time agreed to meet with Mr. Dibo is coming soon...
The location is a coffee shop in Chaoyang. Because there are many European and American embassies here, there are many boutique coffee shops.
Gu Lu was not very interested in foreign soy milk, and he couldn't taste it, so he didn't even remember the name of the store.
But just remember the location and don’t delay the meeting.
"Gu, you may be awarded the Commander's Medal of Arts and Letters." Dibo didn't like to talk in a roundabout way. As soon as they sat down and their coffees were served, they got straight to the point before they even took the first sip.
"I'm very happy, but what is the function of this medal?" Gu Lu knew about knighthood medals and so on.
“This is an award established by my country’s Ministry of Culture and Communications about sixty or seventy years ago. It is used to commend outstanding people in the field of art or literature around the world. It is not only for the French, but also for our country’s literary and artistic circles. The highest honor." Dibo spoke briefly about the value of this award.
In case the other party didn't take it seriously, Dibo also added, "China's Jin Yong and director Wong Kar-wai have both won."
The highest gold content in the literary and art world, this statement is not very credible. Because at least for the group of French writers, the Goncourt Literary Prize is the top honorary list, Gu Lu thought about it in his heart. This should be the highest award that foreigners can win in France.
"Is it appropriate?" Gu Lu asked, "My current works in France are only The Little Prince, One Night Genius, and The New Great Wall."
"It seems you really don't know." Dibo suddenly wanted to be the Riddler.
"Gu, you know, I have a saying, although it is very sorry for the honorary award, but it is the truth." Dibo said, "The first place among all literary honors is always the political form."
What you said... Gu Lu agrees, is that right? Nobel Prize in Literature.
Can you make it clearer? Gu Lu looked at Dibo quietly with this look.
"Please Gu, life needs surprises." Dibo said, "Since you don't know yet, then I won't be a criminal and ruin this surprise."
How should I put it? Dibo may really want to be transferred back to France to serve as Minister of Culture. Because medals and honors must be nominated internally first, and it will take several months before they are actually announced.
As quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it came. During this trip, Dibo also mentioned letters of recommendation. It’s so reliable. Not only did I write it myself, I also contacted my good friend Benoit Dietert.
Benoit is a very famous French writer in the 21st century, as well as a literary critic and music critic. There are many identities, but the only problem is the style of the works. They are almost never published in China, and the domestic reputation is not obvious, but letters of recommendation from abroad are no problem!
