Chapter 127 Make a Big Thing

"Brother Gulu, I just sent the application to set up a new club. If successful, Brother Gulu, we Gemini will join forces." Li Guyuan said.

Aren't you in the Shu Ren Literary Society planning to restart Shu Ren Monthly? Why are you setting up Xinhe Liansheng?

Seeing his friend's confusion, Li Guyuan explained, "Because of the success of Yesterday's Park, Teacher Wu Du's Shuren Literature Club may have to transform into a drama club, specializing in rehearsing stage plays."

The wonderful performance of this school anniversary celebration should have made Principal Chang taste the sweetness, and it is normal to have such changes in the arrangements.

"So accordingly, the restart of Shu Ren Monthly failed. I thought, why don't we set up a monthly editorial office to specialize in publishing publications." Li Guyuan expressed his grand plan.

"So my help is to provide manuscripts?" Gu Lu asked.

"How is that possible? You have contracts with several magazines, so your articles are worth a lot." Li Guyuan said, "I will successfully establish the company, and you will be the editor-in-chief, and I will be the deputy editor-in-chief, mainly responsible for reviewing articles."

"How do we get manuscripts for the monthly magazine? Collect them from classmates?" Gu Lu asked.

"There are my manuscripts and a call for submissions." Li Guyuan was very excited. "There are many people in our school who want to write. There will be no problem filling the entire issue."

"It's no problem to run a whole issue." Gu Lu nodded, "But what about the rest? It's too difficult for a student from No. 8 Middle School to support a monthly magazine. It's basically impossible."

I was busy launching the magazine, but when I think about it carefully, what Gu Lu said makes sense, and there will be big problems with the magazine's survival.

"What should I do then..." Li Guyuan, who was very excited just now, felt a little discouraged, and his glasses even slipped to the middle of his nose.

Gu Lu suddenly remembered that he had just been thinking about joining a club in high school to enjoy his youth. Isn’t this a good opportunity?
"Tangyuan, do you want to do something big?" Gu Lu suddenly asked.

"What's so big?" Li Guyuan asked.

"Since the students from No. 8 Middle School alone are not enough, what about adding the students from No. 1 Middle School, No. 3 Middle School, Bashu Middle School, Yucai Middle School, and other high schools in Fog City?" Gu Lu said word by word, "For our monthly magazine, we will solicit articles from high school students in Fog City!"

"?!" Li Guyuan looked at Gu Lu with his mouth wide open. The latter thought he was frightened by a big target. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Li Guyuan's roar.

"Fuck, you're so talented. If you succeed, then the monthly magazine we publish will be the most famous high school student magazine in the whole Fog City."

What kind of personality do energetic high school students generally have? They are afraid of not being able to make things go well! Li Guyuan pushed his glasses, and his fighting spirit was high again.

"So how do we do it? First of all, the school can't grant us too much funding, so it's not possible to advertise in the whole city." Li Guyuan analyzed the actual situation, "If we don't advertise, it will be difficult for high school students in the city to know about our monthly magazine."

"Publicity is only one aspect. The other thing is demarcation of territory. There must be these clubs in other high schools. Why should we vote for other schools?" The more Li Guyuan talked, the more he felt that there were many problems and it was almost impossible to do so.

"It's not that exaggerated. There aren't many high schools in Wudu that have such rich club activities." Gu Lu said, "So it's normal for their school to vote for us since they don't have any."

"Our standard for soliciting articles is higher than the average level but lower than the level of other magazines. For the time being, our fame cannot be compared with that of magazines on the market." This plan gradually took shape in Gu Lu's mind.

What do you mean we can't compare with them for now? Do you want to surpass other publications with the school magazine in the future? Li Guyuan heard something behind the words.

"The only problem is the printing volume and blood production." Gu Lu said, if you want all the high schools in Wudu to submit articles, you have to at least print more so that all schools can get the school magazine, right?

Printing more means more funding. Their school magazine does not have a publication number, so it is impossible to sell it at all. The school can't just support it.

Gu Lu was confident that, with his current fame, he could convince the school to spend several thousand dollars a month on this, but... after he graduated, wouldn't the monthly magazine be in name only? What he wanted was for this thing to still exist after graduation, with a good self-circulation.

Why are only university journals successful? Because they are professional enough. For example, Journal of Beijing Film Academy is the journal of Beijing Film Academy, but it is also a core journal in the film and television field; Huang Zhong is the journal of Wuhan Conservatory of Music, but it is also a core journal in the music field.

High school magazines simply cannot achieve such a high level of professionalism. Moreover, if the professionalism is too high and it can be sold to the public after obtaining the publication approval number, it is impossible for your student association to manage it, even if there is a mentor behind it. There is no need to elaborate on how strict the domestic publications are.

"It's so difficult, there are so many questions." Gu Lu rubbed his temples, the more he thought about it, the more difficult it became.

"Gulu, it's okay. Your idea is very avant-garde and makes me excited. I will go and fill out the application forms and apply for the club." Li Guyuan said, "If we can really complete it, we will be awesome."

"Besides, this has never been done before, so it must be difficult. We should not rush it," said Li Guyuan. "It's just like your geography and history grades. They can't be improved overnight. We need to spend time and work slowly."

If you don't say the second half, we can still be friends, Gu Luxin said.

Yes, it’s such a big goal, and he has to take it step by step. Gu Lu wants to know how far he can advance. After all, high school life has just begun.

"Put your hand out." Li Guyuan stretched out his right hand and motioned Gu Lu to stretch out his hand as well.

"What for?" Gu Lu asked, still extending his hand.

"When the twin stars merge, we will be invincible!" Li Guyuan shook hands and shouted slogans.

What the hell! It's too childish. The point is that your thing doesn't rhyme. Gu Lu was silent.

"Should we think of a name for the monthly magazine?" Li Guyuan proposed several options.

In "Ancient Continent", Gu is Li Guyuan and Lu is Gu Lu.

《OO Monthly》After all, a circle and a wheel are both circles.

"Gemini and Zhuxing Magazine" is also good. At least it does not only consider Li Guyuan and Gu Lu, but also calls other authors who submit articles as Zhuxing.

Forget it, Gu Lu felt that Li Guyuan should leave the naming industry. In the end, the name of the monthly magazine was not decided because the evening self-study began.

Li Guyuan returned to his seat, and his deskmate Qi Caiwei returned to the classroom with Lu Yi when the bell for evening study rang.

There were many students gossiping during the evening study session today, because they had played all afternoon and there were many things worth discussing, so they couldn't help themselves. The school celebration was over, but my heart was not yet back.

The math teacher, Mr. Lu, was also quite knowledgeable. He didn't teach much knowledge but just assigned after-class exercises for the students to do.

After school, Gu Lu packed up his things. Even if he watched the replay on the computer tomorrow, he had to watch "Everyday 630". Literally, this news program starts at :, and the evening reading should start at that time, so he definitely can't watch it, but fortunately he has bought a computer, which is more convenient.

"Master Gulu, your method really works!" Qi Caiwei, his deskmate, was quite happy and returned the book to Gu Lu before he left.

"Hemingway was such a great writer to depict this with just one old man and one ocean."

"But there is one thing I don't understand, why are there such powerful forces in these short words? [In the old man's shack at the other end of the road, he fell asleep again. He still lay face down, and the child sat beside him, watching over him. The old man was dreaming of lions.]" Qi Caiwei said, "I should have memorized it correctly, at the end the old man was dreaming of lions. Just through these few short words, I seem to be able to imagine a novel, the fight between the old man and the lion."

"For writers at the literary level, they can use the plot to explain the emotions of their works, so the more they describe, the more they are restrained, the more they explode." Gu Lu took over the "The Old Man and the Sea" he gave to Qi Caiwei yesterday. On the title page he wrote - [You must see the theme of the book: Don't succumb to the adverse environment. If the storms and waves are arranged by fate, then resist fate. You must read this courage, the courage to transcend success and failure.]
"It's really good to read this way. I will bring some books home to school this week. Master Gulu, please help me write down what I need to read." Qi Caiwei was very happy and she couldn't stop praising Gu Lu.

Gu Lu didn't feel happy about the compliments. Because there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand readers, and the thoughts and feelings that can be obtained from the book are also very personal. Even if it is not literary works, online novels, animation, comics and other entertainment-oriented things, the feelings are very independent.

"CC has a question, which may be a bit presumptuous." Gu Lu asked, "Did your parents give you a goal for everything you did when you were young?"

"Isn't it the same for everyone?" Qi Caiwei asked back.

Qi Caiwei's nickname comes from herself. When writing her name on exercise books and books, she would write "CC" for convenience. According to her, it stands for her childhood name Cai Cai.

It is true that most parents will have plans for their children's lives, but what Gu Lu means is that Qi Caiwei's parents intervened too much, otherwise it is hard to imagine that Qi Caiwei would have a character that completely lacks independent thinking.

That’s not right. Qi Caiwei once said that she likes writing to express her inner feelings, so overall, Qi Caiwei doesn’t dare to have independent thinking.

Was he taught to be a puppet? Gu Lu thought.

"Is it okay?" Seeing that her deskmate didn't say anything, Qi Caiwei asked again.

"No problem, we should help each other as classmates. I'll leave my science grades to you." Gu Lu agreed.

"..." When it comes to science scores, Qi Caiwei remained silent for a few seconds. She was fully prepared and said, "Okay! Then let's start from junior high school math, physics, and chemistry."

It’s not Gu Lu’s fault. Not to mention that he only graduated from a technical secondary school before his rebirth. Even if he had graduated from university, it would have been difficult for him to go back and study math, physics and chemistry in junior high school!

"Thank you for your hard work!" Gu Lu wanted to know if Qi Caiwei could teach him.

Isn't it normal for a student with such great writing skills to be poor in science? Qi Caiwei's mentality represents the thoughts of most people: "A true warrior is a student who dares to face the poor performance in science!"

Let’s stop talking for now, Gu Lu is in a hurry to go home.

It was still raining outside and he didn't have an umbrella, so he prepared to run home quickly.

"What are these people doing?" Gu Lu passed by the playground and saw a group of people playing in the water.

It was real water play. As mentioned before, the school's drainage system was not very good, and when it rained there would be many puddles on the playground. I don't know which classes the students were from, but they scooped up the puddles with their hands or kicked them with their feet, splashing water everywhere as they attacked each other.

Gu Lu watched and actually wanted to play a little bit. What man could resist a water fight? Unfortunately, there was no one he knew in the room.

After looking at the spot for a while, Gu Lu muttered, "I'm soaked and might catch a cold, what should I do?" and left the scene.

The next day, it rained all night, as if cleaning the sun's sky glasses, and the sky was clear.

When he arrived at school early in the morning, Gu Lu learned a piece of news from his informant (Wei Jiao) that someone was really blocking him at the door.

To Zhou Lin, Gu Lu recalled the little joke he had played in "Yesterday's Park". Feeling guilty, he decided to wait until the bell for morning reading rang before going to school.

So now he sat on the flower bed.

"Panda, you are an excellent traitor, oh no, an excellent scout, I will never forget you." Gu Lu said to Wei Jiao.

"You helped Caiwei, I will definitely help you." Wei Jiao said.

What good sisters. Hearing this, Gu Lu suddenly thought, "Panda, do you know which class the people who had a water fight in the playground yesterday were from?"

“Most of the boys living on campus participated,” said Wei Jiao.

"?" Gu Lu motioned Wei Jiao to continue.

"At first, it seemed like there weren't many people playing around, but later, many male students who lived on campus came downstairs with basins to play in the water, and more and more people came." Wei Jiao said, "Ma Xuanyou and Zeng Jie from our class both went."

Damn it, I should have waited a little longer, Gu Lu thought.

"It's really childish. Two people even caught a cold today," said Wei Jiao.

"Yeah, childish." Gu Lu nodded.

After sitting outside for a few minutes, the bell for morning reading rang and Gu Lu ran back to the classroom. It was not because he was afraid of Zhou Lin, but mainly because someone else helped him trigger "Zhu Chuan's Selections" and then he made fun of it, which was in the wrong.

During the break, Dou Ke appeared on the podium and took out two newspapers.

The print media reported the news of the school anniversary, so not only Dou Ke, but many day students of No. 8 Middle School went to the newsstand to read the news about their school.

Dou Ke had in his hands the Fog City Daily and the Mountain City Morning News; these two media outlets were present yesterday.

"You're amazing. You bought a newspaper. Let me see it." Zeng Jie snatched the newspaper from Dou Ke. Dou Ke wanted to take it back, but there was a big difference in their body size.

"The headline on the front page is, 'Wudu No. 8 Middle School celebrates its 74th anniversary.' Let me take a look."

"Gu Luniu, look at this newspaper. The only student name that appears is yours." Zeng Jie took the newspaper and read the news about Gu Lu.

[Shuren Literature Society of No. 8 Middle School: The wonderful script has won high praise from Mr. Mo Huaiqi, a famous writer in the Fog City.

In October, during the anniversary celebration of Fog City No. 10 Middle School, the literature club’s program “Yesterday’s Park” used a mysterious park to interweave the fate of two generations and the feelings that need to be cherished in an unchangeable fate.

This wonderful program was carefully written by Gu Lu, a student from Class 10, Grade , No. Middle School.

It is reported that Gu Lu also has a distinguished background. He is the first winner of the Ye Shengtao Cup National First Prize in the Fog City and a contracted writer for many publications and magazines. Mr. Mo Huaiqi described him as a "genius student writer."

The success of the stage performance of "Yesterday's Park" is also inseparable from the efforts of Shu Ren Literary Society.

Usually, club members hold heated debates in the club and review movies and new books together…]
"Why are you skipping? There's more before this." Ma Xuanyou snatched the newspaper away. He didn't read it but looked at it himself.

The main content of the report in "Fog City Daily" praised the rich campus life of No. 2012 Middle School, and cited the example that the Hanfu Club was nominated for the " National Outstanding Middle School Chinese Studies Club", the National Flag Guard of Honor was the representative of the new model of national membership, and was included in the "Middle School Communist Youth League Cadre Course" compiled by the Central Communist Youth League Student Department as a typical case.

This report seems to be equally distributed, except that the Shu Ren Literary Society has a larger role to play.
