Chapter 367 Opening up a new one
Teacher Gao treated Gu Lu and Wei Jiao to a meal. I don’t know whether it is due to the high level of local consumption, but the proportion of Japanese food stores in Sijiucheng is the highest among all cities. Teacher Gao tried his best to choose Japanese food, but Wei Jiao rejected it. According to Wei Jiao, "I have wanted to eat mutton hot pot for a long time."
Finally, we decided to cook the mutton in a copper pot.
Different from the usual talk on the ice at school, Teacher Gao talked a lot during the dinner.
I shared that one of the students from the previous class also loved writing, but unfortunately his family did not support him, and he was unable to persist in the end. I shared that the teaching books have been revised in the past few years, and new teaching materials are now used, but the teaching methods are still the same.
"I heard that there is an article about Xiao Gu in the junior high school Chinese textbook? If I try harder, there will be one or two articles in the high school Chinese textbook." Teacher Gao said.
Wei Jiao nodded, "I think it can be done, because I know that many kindergarten textbooks have picture versions of the little prince."
Articles can appear in textbooks at four levels: elementary school, junior high school, high school, and college. That is already a top-level writer in domestic history. The emergence of three stages is the contemporary ceiling. Gu Lu currently hopes that The Little Prince and Flatland will reach the elementary school level, and Zweig’s Human Stars Shine, now called the Diplomatic Quadrilogy, has the potential to hit high schools and universities.
I hope that with a plug-in, I can accomplish this goal while still alive.
"Xiao Gu, you have also opened a way for all students in Wudu. In the past, our middle and high schools in Wudu never paid attention to composition competitions such as Ye Cup and Bing Xin Cup. Now basically the better middle and high schools will organize students to participate on a large scale. I won a lot of prizes in the competition." Teacher Gao also talked about this.
Open up new cultivation methods! Gu Lu substituted this sentence in his mind.
We talked a lot, but Teacher Gao didn't talk about his family or personal life.
There was less and less soup in the copper pot, and the three of them ate to their heart's content.
Let's send Wei Jiao home together first, and then Gu Lu will send the teacher back.
"Xiao Gu, thank you for today." Teacher Gao finally said what he had been thinking about all this time, "Just before dinner, Director Teng told me that there are two places for outstanding graduates, and the other one is me. I know, in fact, There is only one quota.”
More importantly, the reporter from the "Beijing Daily" who has been filming the progress of the training class will definitely include Gu Lu's appearance in the report. Archives teaching, an elite education model that only exists for a dozen students in a class, will also Report. It was of great help to Teacher Gao’s teaching career.
Director Teng from the High School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University has a question that he can answer: "If you teach Gu Lu, will this achievement last a lifetime?"
Answer: Yes, you can.
"Teacher Gao," Gu Lu said seriously, "what I shared today is all true. I am not praising you because you are my high school teacher, but Teacher Gao, as a teacher, you are already very good."< br>
These words made Teacher Gao silent for a long time. It was not until he reached the hotel parking lot and turned around that he was at the door. Teacher Gao thanked her again in a low voice, then lowered his head and returned to the hotel.
Teacher Gao is already forty, and he is even thinner than when Gu Lu returned to Fog City last year, at least from the back.
One person does not fully understand another person. Teacher Gao's thank you before leaving may be to thank Gu Lu for his affirmation of her teaching career. It was precisely because of her teaching career that she suffered a complete failure in her family. And Gu Lu's affirmation was equivalent to an affirmation of her life.
"It's still early, let's take a walk to eat." He said he was just taking a walk, but in fact Gu Lu was thinking about his next step. I didn’t notice any of the flowers, plants and trees I passed by, but after living in this area for several years, I was very familiar with them.
Now he is in his twenties and can produce some literary works. You need to plan and take your time...
The next day, the temperature rose.
It was like the atmosphere in the box was steaming.
Gu Lu came to this private tea bar early in the morning. Why add private in front of the tea bar? Gu Lu didn't know either, because the name was "Yuanmu Private Tea Bar". It may also be that by adding private, customers will think it is safer. Many interviews were conducted in tea bars.
Currently too.
"Teacher Gu Lu, when will your new work "The Devotion of Suspect X" be published in China? What do you think of such good results in Neon?" Southern Metropolis Daily reporter Lao Ma asked.
Southern newspapers are basically the most annoying existence for journalists. Because the Southern Department was once a white moonlight, many journalists joined the Southern Department because they heard about the deeds of the Southern Department. The deeper the love, the deeper the hate.
It's just that Gu Lu is not a media person. He accepted the interview from the Southern Department with a very strong purpose.
"It will be released in China when the time is right." Gu Lu said, "The specific time is related to the publicity plan. As for "The Devotion of Suspect X", the sales volume in Neon is good... The inspiration for this book came from a few years ago When I went to Neon, I accidentally walked to the Bridge of Tears, which is a slum in Tokyo. To put it more bluntly, I wrote this book just for the sake of sales.”
Write a book for sales and then it explodes in sales? Lao Ma nodded silently. "Can you disclose the specific publicity plan to readers? There are many reporters in China paying attention to your comeback work." Lao Ma's questioning style is accustomed to asking two questions, "There are many very weak comments on the Internet. They think Teacher Gu Lu, you chose Neon because you have no confidence in the chaotic domestic book market. What do you think?”
Questions for this type of exclusive interview are all discussed in advance. But how to ask questions, with what rhythm, and what kind of interview atmosphere is created by the speed of speech are the reporter's skills.
"The release of a book requires the joint assistance of many publishers. My disclosure may disrupt the plans of the publisher and the agent." Gu Lu said, "As for the domestic book market, I personally am very confident. Confidence. The online environment and the convenience of Internet sales...book awards are becoming mature.”
In addition to the four major literary awards: Lao She Literature Award, Mao Dun Literature Award, Lu Xun Literature Award, and Cao Yu Drama Literature Award. The second echelon is the Zhuangzhong Literature Award, the Shi Naian Literature Award, the Dream of Red Mansions Award, and the Blancpain Utopia Literature Award (getting worse and worse). There are many in the third tier, such as the Pu Songling Short Story Award that was previously won.
The Po Awards used to be in the second tier, but in recent years the organizers have gone astray in their promotion direction and have slipped a bit. However, the awards in the third tier are also literary awards that can be written on the resume, and winning the second tier can be said to be the mainstay in the circle. As for winning the four major literary awards, you can basically serve as vice chairman or chairman of a provincial writers association.
"If my investigation is correct, Teacher Gu Lu seems to have only been nominated for the National Outstanding Children's Literature Award and won the Pu Songling Short Story Award." Lao Ma carefully checked the guest information before the interview.
"The Little Prince is currently the fairy tale novel with the highest cumulative sales in China and the most successful overseas work. Does Mr. Gu Lu think it is a legacy of domestic children's awards?" Lao Ma said, "If it is not convenient for Mr. Gu Lu to answer this question , you don’t have to answer.”
This issue is outside the scope of the plan.
To be honest, Gu Lu also feels that "The Little Prince" did not win the National Outstanding Children's Literature Award or the Chen Bochui Children's Novel Award. This is partly due to his young age and lack of qualifications, and more importantly, because he does not mingle with others.
"I'm also confused about this," Gu Lu seemed to have remembered something, and continued, "As for the Fairy Tale Award - I won the Kate Greenaway Award, which was awarded to "The Little Prince" in 2014."
"An award created in memory of Kate Greenaway, the greatest children's graphic novelist in the UK? The most stringent children's novel award in the UK?" Lao Ma indeed had a wide range of knowledge, and then asked, "Then has Teacher Gu Lu written any more books? An idea for a children’s novel? ”
"I do have a more interesting idea," Gu Lu thought of "The Borrower" which was gathering dust in the corners.
The interview with Southern Metropolis Daily was suggested by Guo Dafa, and the main purpose was for his new work "From the New World" in the second half of the year. At first glance, I think it is a third-rate novel, but after reading it, I will directly define it as a first-rate work.
There is a rather extreme evaluation, which is suitable for recommending this work: "The calm and beautiful world is soaked in blood and death. Isn't this the image of the real world?" The real world should not be so exaggerated, but in the book The Peach Blossom Spring is indeed like this, every peach blossom is dyed red with blood.
Halfway through the interview, I switched to my new work and revealed a little bit of information.
Gu Lu said, "We are currently preparing another book. The content of the book describes a new world like the Peach Blossom Spring, except that every petal is stained with blood."
Get warmed up.
The questions and answers probably lasted for more than an hour.
"Finally, Teacher Gu Lu, please tell me your expectations for yourself." Southern Metropolis Daily reporter Lao Ma asked the last question.
"There is nothing to look forward to, life is good enough for me."
With Gu Lu's response, the interview ended.
Even when he grew up, Gu Lu still didn't like drinking tea and preferred to drink Coke. He only took a sip of the tea on the table.
Let’s choose a coffee shop for the next interview. Even if he doesn’t like coffee, there are sweet drinks in the coffee shop.
Taking a taxi online to go back to school, Gu Lu looked down at the memo on his phone.
[The summer premiere of "Kuroko's Basketball: Battle at the Summit" in July.
"Hyogo" produced by KyoAni will be aired in July. It needs to record a short video blessing and help promote it on Bilibili.
In August, the signing ceremony between "Flowers for Algernon" and Shochiku Co., Ltd.
The finalization ceremony of the Hollywood team of "Mr. Holmes" was also in August.
"The Devotion of Suspect X" celebration party in September (you can probably skip it).
…]
"Bingguo" is exclusive to Bilibili. It's amazing. Bilibili has become rich. Gu Lu remembered that in the last life, Station B was also rich, and after cutting off the incentive plan in a few years, it would have more money to buy new shows.
