Chapter 369 Take out the short story Monster
Should the comeback short stories be literary, or should they be ground-breaking popular novels?
"Black Mirror" is a Netflix drama that has received rave reviews. Certain episodes have extremely powerful storylines, including dramatic turns, Public Enemy on the Internet, the entire experience of your life, etc. Compared to loving death... there is nothing to compare with.
"The novel also continues the general style of black humor, science fiction thriller, and political prophecy."
After much thought, Gu Lu decided to take out "Selected Short Stories of Aimee" and start with the literary route. The feature "From the New World" in the second half of the year is somewhat similar in temperament to the Black Mirror short story. Avoid duplication.
"First come, first served, it's the short story monster Saint Marcel Aimé." As long as a person decides on one thing, he can find countless reasons in his heart to label his decision as legitimate.
In addition, it is time for him to compete for the Zhuang Chongwen Literature Award. Zhuang Zhongwen is a name, not an adjective. The sudden reminder came from Gu Lu's previous misunderstanding. In his impression, solemn writing might be another way of calling "serious literature."
As a T2 award, it is basically the most authoritative youth novel award in China. Since its founding in 1988, many young artists have used it as a springboard to achieve the "Big Four".
"Through the Wall, Survival Card, The Legend of Pordevo, Seven-mile Boots, Gnomes... just the dwarfs, after all, I remember that this novel is a trigger synthesis from this short story."
After resting for several days, Gu Lu started stamping again.
In the current house, there is a desktop computer in the study room, a high-performance desktop computer in the game room, and a laptop in the bedroom. It has to be said that the conditions for coding are much stronger than before, but the speed of coding has not improved compared to before, and has even dropped a little.
Mainly from the age of fifteen to eighteen, which is really the peak of human hand speed.
Gu Lu completed the manuscript of tens of thousands of words in one night. "Dwarf" is not the representative work of short stories about monsters, but it is the work that best displays its characteristics. It has also been adapted into a movie by France. It contains a lot of thinking and literary core.
To give you a vivid metaphor, do you still remember the first work Gu Lu drew after traveling through time? From Etgar Keret's imaginative short story collection "The Bus Driver Who Wanted to Be a God". Aimee's short stories are equally imaginative, but they are thicker than Etgar's.
"Would you like to change your vest and start over?"
"Well, I'm not so busy."
Gu Lu quickly put an end to the ridiculous ideas in his mind and finally gained a reputation. The changing pen settings that accompany reading are also accepted by the industry.
I flipped through my phone and quickly found a contact. More than two months ago, Liu Yong, editor of People's Literature, had made an appointment with him for a manuscript.
Direct inward investment!
Making some preparations before going to bed, Gu Lu took a walk around the balcony.
"A few years have passed. My cooking skills are pretty good, but my flower-growing skills still haven't improved at all?" Gu Lu sighed as he looked at the dying flowers.
He really didn't raise him casually, Gu Lu searched the Internet for strategies. He learned his cooking skills by watching tutorials on the Internet, although the recipes and tutorials on the Internet use "a little" and "a little" to describe the seasonings. But if you do it too much, you will definitely know it in your heart.
Growing flowers is truly an exception!
"And I have grown into a tall man in the south, but the flowers just don't grow." Gu Lu added in his heart. Note his prefix word, south. Not compared with the Han Dynasty in the north, nor compared with Xinjiang Province.
After cleaning up the mess on the balcony, Gu Lu ordered a set of Leo Tolstoy's complete works online. His impression of this literary giant was incredible - after all, any of his works seemed to be masterpieces.
"Resurrection", "War and Peace", "Anna Karenina", etc. The price of a set of books is really expensive.
In offline physical bookstores, the price of any book is upwards of 45 yuan. And there are relatively few that cost less than fifty yuan, and books have almost become a luxury item.
It's time to go to bed, I have to go to my classmate's birthday party tomorrow.
Gu Lu asked the heroine to remember what she was like, because he was worried that he would forget. He once wrote in the preface of "The Little Prince", "I hope that the future Gu Lu will not forget the past Gu Lu." I just never thought that Gu Lu's own memory was so good.
No one had celebrated his birthday before, but as for the original person, he even forgot his own birthday. Because only by remembering the birthdays of his father, mother, and sister can he show that he is a member of the family.
Gu Lu, who traveled through time, promised that he would give his original body another life in the future. This promise has never been forgotten and has never been broken. This includes living with Li Guyuan and Li Guyuan’s parents (equal to family), living with friends, living with classmates who are not so familiar, and living alone. All done.
That's why I can't refuse tomorrow's birthday party.
You can't just call someone else and they will give you face. If you find it troublesome when others invite you, you are taking yourself too seriously.
Thinking about things, Gu Lu fell asleep. A mentally retarded poet said that falling asleep is equivalent to closing the world.
He turned off his phone, so out of sight of Gu Lu, the Peking University Newspaper (Philosophy and Social Sciences Edition) received an article. We all know that the journals of Tsinghua, Peking, Fudan and Zhejiang University are core publications, and even the ceiling in a certain field.
The editor-in-chief of the philosophy and social sciences edition changed his expression when he saw this contributor.
Not simple, this article is not simple!
The author of the manuscript is Nguyen Phu Quoc. As the saying goes, calling someone by a professional title at work, is writing a paper considered work? Yes! Is review work? Yes!
So it is the manuscript of Vice President Ruan of Peking University.
"Gu Lu's method of creating the Diplomatic Tetralogy and the argument for its origins in Peking University Literature"
There are three types of leadership, administrative, academic and neither. The classification of school leaders is similar. Vice President Ruan is an academic who switched to administration. He was very good when he was still a doctor of law.
The current administration is also very powerful. The deputy director of the Party Propaganda Department, the director of the Real Estate Management Department, the deputy secretary of the D Committee, etc., although they are not as exaggerated as the shoulders of the old couple in Beijing and the 13th Province, the burden is really not light.
Because of this, the editor-in-chief who reviewed the manuscript was a little confused. With Vice President Ruan’s current status, there is no need to write a thesis. Besides, you are a law major and come to preach literature...isn’t it a bit biased?
Could it be...
"Is there anything else I don't know about?" the review editor started reading.
It is very informative, with more than 20,000 words, and mainly explains two concepts clearly. First of all, what is Peking University literature, and secondly, why can Gu Lu represent Peking University literature.
In terms of academic value, this article is meaningless and is completely inferior to Professor Chen's research on Gu Lu. After all, the latter is really exploring a writer's writing style. The former is more like announcing that Gu Lu represents our literary creation at Peking University.
The review editor is very professional and his judgment is spot on.
Vice Principal Ruan and Principal Gong discussed the need to ensure fairness among students in the literature circle two days ago. Isn’t this the beginning of action?
It's another sunny day, and a classmate's birthday party is at the dinner. After all, it's normal for college students to go out to play after dinner, right?
During the day, Gu Lu arrived at Union Hospital.
"The doctor told me to read less books." Gu Lu carried the fruit basket and placed it on the bedside table. There are bananas and oranges in it, so you can eat more during rehabilitation. "I didn't like reading books before, but I felt like I was wasted for several years. I have to make up for it all." After two months, the heroine's body has basically recovered.
The rehabilitation doctor said that he could be discharged after another half month of observation.
"Brother, you are still invincible. I saw the news that the daily, weekly and monthly sales of "The Devotion of Suspect a topic.
"Then after completing the commission, are there any rewards for the task?" Gu Lu asked.
"I have some ideas for mission rewards, but now the rewards have to be postponed!" Gu Jiayu said.
"Then I'm looking forward to it very much," Gu Lu asked, "How is French learning going?"
"I deeply agree that French is more beautiful than English..." Gu Jiayu said, "Because French is more difficult. French is too difficult. Just give me the most typical French number. My God. Brother, can you believe it? One to ten Each number of six represents a different word. Their numbers are like adding. For example, for twenty-one, you need to know the word for 20, and then add the word for 1. There are not only bonus points, but also words for 1. Multiplication. It means 80 is quatrevingts, use the word form of 4 times 20. Oh, no, vingt means twenty. If there is no number after it, you must add s, and 81 must be calculated as 4*20+1quatrevingtun. Remember not to add s. They say foreigners have poor math scores. Brother, I definitely don’t believe this.”
Numbers are just an appetizer on the way to learning French. What is more difficult is the feminine and masculine meanings of words, and some words are deformed in the process of development...
When his sister was halfway through her rant, Gu Lu's eyes actually became a little distracted, but he still tried to listen. It's like I can't understand math in class, but I have to force myself not to lose focus.
Ten minutes later, Gu Jiayu complained a tenth of the time. That's almost it. She can't be the only one suffering from the disaster!
"But I heard that German is more difficult and requires constant patching. Thinking about it this way, I feel much better." Gu Jiayu said, "Brother, I added Sister Caiwei's WeChat account. Sister Caiwei is practicing dancing abroad. , seems very powerful.”
Gu Lu also has CC WeChat, but apart from a few greetings during New Years and holidays, there is no regular contact with him.
"She dances really beautifully, the most beautiful one I've ever seen. It's going well in the Bear Country, right?" Gu Lu asked.
"It went very well. Currently, Sister Caiwei is debating whether to take the exam and work towards the dance troupe of Mao Xiong Country. If you work hard in that direction, you may have to develop there in the future and rarely come back." Gu Jiayu said.
Your career may be better if you develop abroad, but you may be more accustomed to basic necessities if you develop domestically. I don’t know how to choose CC. Gu Lu hopes that she can make the decision on her own.
"Jiayu, do you have anything to ask me?" Gu Lu took his sister's words too far away, and realized that there might be something that was inconvenient to ask.
"Uh..." Gu Jiayu hesitated, something really happened.
"Speak directly, stop hesitating." Gu Lu said.
"That means, what's wrong with Brother Gu Yuan?" Gu Jiayu asked, "Brother Gu Yuan has come to see me a few times, and I feel that he has no motivation. But he was admitted to Tsinghua University!"
"The changes have been huge." Gu Lu nodded.
"Right, right, that's what I'm saying." Gu Jiayu said, "Brother Gu Yuan used to be very good, and his notes were clearer than our teacher's. I was able to pass the No. 8 Middle School thanks to his notes. And then there are Various learning methods are very useful! But now he does things as he pleases, without making any plans at all.”
Observing very carefully, Gu Lu also enlightened this little friend who grew up together. But he himself has stopped writing, so what's his position? The result, of course, was failure.
but! Gu Lu is more concerned about another thing. Why do you care so much about Li Guyuan?
Gu Lu looked over with a little scrutiny, and he could see that Gu Nuxia's eyes were more of regret.
Nothing happened, the alarm stopped, and Gu Lu nodded in agreement with the heroine, and explained the reason for this - Li Guyuan was shocked by the many geniuses in Tsinghua University, and thought that he was no longer a genius.
"How can you think like this? I still remember my brother telling me that everyone has their own unique talent. Six billion people have six billion talents." Gu Nuxia said, "This sentence is my motto, I Always remember.”
Have you ever said this? Gu Lu didn't remember. If you are really casual, it may have a significant impact on others.
"I feel that once I compare myself with others, I will fall into a maze. Even if I win, I won't be very happy, because I still want to win in other aspects. If I lose, I will make excuses for my failure on the surface, but in my heart I will be envious. Or slander him?" Gu Jiayu said, "Brother, is there anything we can do to motivate him?"
The second sister's description was very accurate, but Gu Lu was not optimistic, "In addition to stepping out myself, others want to interfere. It is very difficult, but Jiayu, you can try."
The reason why he is not optimistic is that Gu Lu tried many methods to regain his confidence when Tangyuan was a sophomore. Including but not limited to, letting the editor analyze the article that praises him from a professional perspective. But with little success.
Gu Lu stayed in the hospital to eat lunch. Needless to say, Gu Lu finally understood why the facades at the school entrance and hospital entrance were so expensive. Because students can't leave and can only stay, and patients' families can't leave either and can only stay.
The price of a rice bowl is about 30% more expensive than ordinary rice. According to the information collected by Gu Lu, this is still relatively cheap.
After staying for a while in the afternoon, Gu Lu took out his cell phone and glanced at it from time to time, waiting for notifications. Young people are really casual. I haven't decided where to go to eat yet. I'm waiting for news...
As a result, at the time when the sun and clouds were about to kiss out thousands of colorful clouds, I was pulled into a group.
The group name is "Wang Penggang Birthday Party Notice".
There are a lot of miscellaneous speeches in it.
"So now you tell me, Wang Penggang made a bet in the dormitory last night. Whoever can jump off the bed will be considered stronger." Gu Lu summarized useful information in emoticons and abstract speeches.
He himself couldn't believe it. When he used the twenty-six keys to poke words, his thumb hesitated. "Then when Wang Penggang jumped off the bed, his foot hit the guardrail, so he fell, causing a comminuted fracture of his arm. , lying in the hospital now?”
["Yes, that's it. The dormitory teacher was criticized. After all, students were seriously injured in the dormitory."
"I heard that the class teacher was also criticized by the school leaders."
"It's so bad. I just tried it and it won't trip at all. Just avoid the guardrail and jump at the gap, right?"
"Where's your brain? Why do you think you're good at jumping to avoid the guardrail?"
"Then I'll try again."]
