Chapter 83 Planet B375
Chapter 83 Planet B375
The story is very simple, even crude. It tells the story of a pilot named "I" who encountered an alien from the planet B375, the Little Prince, in the desert because of a plane malfunction.
"Planet B375? It should be fictional, right? Class 2012 of No. Middle School?" President Jian thought. As a judge of the Ye Shengtao Cup, he knew Gu Lu's class information too well.
The information revealed in the works can give us a glimpse into the author's life. President Jian turned his phone to silent mode, which is an old habit of his.
The whole thread of the book is to listen to the little prince's story about his interstellar journey from the perspective of "I". The perspective is sometimes "I" and sometimes switches to the little prince.
Although it is called interstellar travel, it is actually not sci-fi at all, because the planets the little prince encounters are relatively "cartoonish".
A planet with only one person who calls himself the king.
There is only one planet of vain people.
There is only one drunkard on the planet.
[“Why are you drinking?” asked the little prince.
"To forget," the drunkard replied.
The little prince felt sorry for the drunkard. He asked, "What are you forgetting?"
The drunkard bowed his head and confessed: "To forget my shame."
"What are you ashamed of?" The little prince wanted to help him.
"I am ashamed of my drinking." The drunkard said this and never spoke again.]
"Ah, this... forms a closed loop." President Jian couldn't help but say.
The drunkards he had met were the same, because they drank all day and hated their own decadence, and they hated the sad emotions that arose and continued to drink, forming a vicious cycle. This was enough to prove that Gu Lu understood alcoholics.
Not only that, the other content is even more exciting!
"Xiao Gu--" President Jian wanted to make a comment, but he suppressed his excited emotions.
The Little Prince arrives at and explores planet after planet with the innocent eyes of a child.
The content is very speculative, [In the eyes of a vain man, everyone is his admirer], [Kings do not own, they just "rule"].
Appeared! President Jian's most admired point about Gu Lu appeared in "Smash the Piggy", using very simple examples to explain a complex thing, which can often achieve a thought-provoking effect.
Like the businessman who was obsessed with counting stars, the businessman's logic was that whoever discovered the island first would own the island, so he was the first to discover the stars, so the stars also belonged to him. Therefore, he counted the stars day and night and counted more than 500 million.
When the little prince asked the merchant, "If I have a scarf, I can use it to protect my neck and take it away; if I have a flower, I can pick my flower and take it away. But you can't pick these stars!"
The businessman replied that he could deposit it in the bank, so he wrote the number of stars on a small piece of paper and locked it in the drawer.
This metaphor! President Jian couldn't help but applaud, "It really mocks the adult society with the eyes of a child."
President Jian just wants to say well done.
"Xiao Gu's thoughts are a treasure. In addition to being speculative, they also have a predictive view of society."
President Jian noticed that as the country's economy takes off, the lives of low-level workers will inevitably become increasingly difficult, and situations such as forced overtime will emerge one after another.
The Little Prince tells of a planet with only street lamps and lamplighters. The lamplighter has to turn on and off the lamps every day because of the rules. But the planet rotates faster and faster, and the time from night to day is shortened. The lamplighter even loses his rest time. There are two kinds of fairy tales: one is written for adults and the other is written for children.
The Little Prince is undoubtedly suitable for two groups of people. For adults, the core of the book is profound enough; for children, it is also interesting with the interesting illustrations.
Tens of thousands of words + more than sixty pictures. Gu Lu's handwriting is not beautiful, but it is clear and not sloppy.
President Jian read through it and slapped the manuscript on the table. "Very good, very good, tens of thousands of words, the philosophy of life is quite clear. In the past five years... Oh no, in the past ten years, it is the best children's literature I have seen-"
President Jian's praise suddenly stopped, and he suddenly understood, "When you really understand this book, you are no longer a child."
All we can do is not forget that we were once children. President Jian now understands the message at the beginning of the story even more.
"This book is not suitable for serialization in Juvenile Literature and Art because it is not connected to the main plot at all." President Jian made a professional judgment, "It should be published directly."
"The Little Prince will create a storm in the quiet children's book market!"
As it happens, President Jian is the president of the publishing house and can make the decision. He is also a man of action, and the next second he took out his phone and prepared to call Gu Lu.
He paused again, remembering that Gu Lu was still a student, so he could only wait until the evening to discuss it. President Jian turned his head to think about publishing. First of all, the number of words was not enough for a book. If you count the illustrations and make the paper thicker, it would be about the same.
Gu Lu readily accepted the suggestion of direct publishing, but the profit sharing still needed to be discussed.
Gu Lu, who went out early and came back late, and attended morning and evening self-study, had originally planned to wait until "Mr. Holmes" was published before going to find Teacher Hu to fulfill his promise. However, he never thought that "The Little Prince" which he submitted later seemed to be one step faster.
"Tadpole, hurry up, it's too late." Tian Xiao was very anxious.
Gu Lu saw the pen-spinning king Tian smiling and rubbing his hands anxiously, until his hands were about to smoke.
“Here they come!” The student called Tadpole was Dou Ke. He ran out of the dormitory building in a hurry, and then the three of them ran to the indoor gymnasium together.
It has been a week since the opening of the No. 10 Middle School, and the new students in the school have almost gotten used to each other. Look at Class , they have already been given several nicknames.
Dou Ke was also called tadpole because he was dark in color, and the word "small" was added as a joking term; Gu Lu also got the nickname "wheel" because the wheel turned around.
Gu Lu refused this, saying it was too ugly and not as nice as Gulu.
This afternoon is the "2012-2013 Academic Year Club Recruitment Event" of No. Middle School. The Shuren Literature Club, Hanfu Club, Volleyball Club, Language Arts Club, Etiquette Model Club, Astronomy and Geography Club, Science and Technology Club, Animation Club, Basketball Club, Kendo Club, Cooking Club of Chinese Boys, etc., all clubs in the school are recruiting new members in the indoor gymnasium.
As soon as I approached the gymnasium, I could feel the enthusiasm of the students. Every Wednesday from 4:20 to 5:50 p.m. is the time for all student club activities in No. Middle School. No teacher is allowed to take up classes in any form, so the students in the second and third years of high school are quite serious.
More than a week after school started, I still managed to get out some things. The Cooking Club of Little China prepared a table full of fruit plates and fried chicken rings.
"There are too many people lining up for the Science Club, Music Club, and Literature Club." Dou Ke sighed, "There are also quite a few people in the Volleyball Club. It turns out that clubs that can add points to the college entrance examination have a high priority."
"Who said that? There are quite a few people in the animation club." Tian Xiao also felt it was a pity that there was no pen spinning club.
However, with so many people around, Tian Xiao and Dou Ke backed out. Tian and Dou were originally insignificant classmates in the class, and with Gu Lu, they huddled together for warmth.
"The super-strong girl is interested in the culinary club?" Gu Lu saw his former desk mate.
