Chapter 144 What a Loud Name
Chapter 144 What a Loud Name
Lu Ping felt that there seemed to be a turn in Gu Lu's words. According to the tone, shouldn't he be saying that he was worried about not being able to raise the child well?
It doesn’t matter, just give the flowers away. Lu Ping left with his schoolbag, and more and more classmates came to the class one after another.
Why did Gu Lu's tone suddenly change?
Because the tags merge!
[Too absurd and bizarre] [Winning with "weirdness"] [Master of Imagination] Transformed into "Selected Short Stories of Aimee"
Details: This book contains 28 short stories by Marcel Aimé, which includes almost all of his famous works. Aimé is the greatest short story master in France in the th century, known as the "Strange Saint of Short Stories", and his works are a perfect combination of imagination and realism.
"Grass... is a kind of plant." Gu Lu couldn't help but feel that the short story collection he had drawn was so cool.
He had never heard of the name of Marcel Aymé, but the title of the best short story writer in France in the 20th century was enough.
"This should be one of the two most literary novels I have drawn so far." The short stories that Gu Lu had drawn before were all good at storytelling.
Gu Lu slowly returned to the classroom and glanced at Lu Ping. He put his hands under his legs, then leaned back and let the chair tilt - testing his balance.
Twice now, last time it was osmanthus and this time it was rose.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Just for these two times, I will do my best to help Lu Ping improve his composition!"
This time, Gu Lu really made up his mind.
There were two or three classes in the morning - to outsiders it seemed that Gu Lu was sleeping all the time, but actually Gu Lu could not help but read a novel. If the novel was too literary, he would have to put it aside for the time being with "When the Stars Shine".
As a result, Gu Lu discovered that Aimee was absolutely perfect for writing online novels!
It's not a derogatory term, but a genuine compliment.
New writers of online articles focus on the golden three chapters and the golden one chapter, because they don’t have original popularity and they need to come up with the selling points of the article as quickly as possible.
In this regard, Aimee is top-notch.
"The Time of Death": In Montmartre lived a poor man named Martin, who existed only one day out of every two days.
"Under the Moonlight": The fairy Utena was punished at the bottom of the river and did not come out for nine hundred years.
"The Dwarf": There was a dwarf clown in Barnaboone's circus. When he was thirty-five years old, he actually started to grow taller.
Wait, the selling point is brought out in just one sentence.
The reason why Aime is called the Saint of Short Stories is that he not only has a lot of imagination, but he can also grasp it steadily and use it to make a profound analysis of society.
At first, no one called this dwarf by his name, and everyone called him "short and ugly". Suddenly, he not only grew taller, but his appearance also changed, and he became a handsome man.
But soon "Shorty and Ugly" discovered that he used to be able to make a living as a clown effortlessly with his height and appearance, but now he had become an ordinary handsome guy and had lost his place in the circus.
"Yes, Mr. Roval, I haven't told you yet... Shorty is dead." This ending sentence was also said by the political teacher in class, triggering the synthesis list.
Opening with a magical idea, Aimee wants to explore "how people face their surroundings after breaking the original rules and balance of the world, and what is the relationship between individuals and the world."
In the book, the 35-year-old short and ugly man suddenly got a fever and started to grow taller and become handsome. Does it sound like - suddenly becoming unemployed in middle age?
"That's amazing. I never knew there was such an interesting short story master before. I thought short stories were all written by people with strong literary attributes like Chekhov and Maupassant."
To be honest, Gu Lu knows that the short stories of the world's three great short story writers and Mark Twain are excellent and have strong literary qualities.
Even the skills are invincible. Learning the Maupassant ending, Chekhov ending and O. Henry ending are all unique skills in writing.
But Gu Lu had no patience to watch it - he found it boring, and by comparison, Aime made up for the boredom.
"There are a few articles that discuss the world too deeply, so I can't write them now, but there are a few that are fine. Damn, I want to compete with "Huacheng", "Dangdai", "Harvest" and "People's Literature"." Gu Lu named the four most prestigious actresses in domestic journals.
The short story collections compiled previously were not of high literary quality, so Gu Lu didn’t think in that direction. Now that he is starting to look forward to it, he feels a little bit drifting.
But Gu Lu is a man who wants to become the "King of Short Stories", so how can he not conquer the four major actresses of literary magazines? !
Let Gu Lupiao take a moment and talk about Lu Yi.
Lu has good grades in arts and she has been able to practice a dance quite well within 40 days of joining the dance club, which is enough to prove her strong ability to take action.
Even though students are not allowed to bring cell phones to school dormitories, most of them do carry them. Some students even leave their regular phones at home and save up money to buy backup phones in order to hide the fact... Lu Yi was one of those students who hid the fact.
Possessing a good execution ability, she secretly created an account that night. The account name was "Eighth Middle School Wall" and the signature was "Student Wall of Fog City Eighth Middle School, dedicated to posting interesting things in the school, welcome to contribute."
After confirming the access rights to the space, Lu Yi went to the activity classroom of Time Radio on Wednesday afternoon and implemented the plan.
Lu Yi told the plan to Liu Wen, the president of Time Radio, and core members.
"In principle, we don't help with advertising." Liu Wen said, "For specific details, we need to hold a meeting to discuss, but don't hold out too much hope, because the school stipulates that our broadcast on Friday must comply with the school regulations of No. 8 Middle School." What a bureaucratic response.
The vice president, a sophomore student, said, "This has never been done before, so although the idea is good, it may not succeed. If something goes wrong, it will be troublesome."
Everyone thought the method was good, but when it came to helping each other...even the vice president thought that we could set up our own Time Radio Station, since there was no threshold anyway.
It has to be said that Lu Yi, who has not experienced the harsh beatings of society, is still naive.
The instructor of Time Radio didn't say a word, and it was obvious that he didn't care much about the matter. To put it more bluntly, he was exiled to a "wilderness" by the Fog City Channel. What passion could he have?
"Campus wall, what a great idea! I often play with space, why haven't I thought of it before?" Zhang Liwan praised.
"Actually, it wasn't my idea. It was Gu Lu from our class who came up with the idea. I was just the executor." Lu Yi did not take credit for it.
Wait, the expressions of President Liu Wen, Vice President, and Zhang Liwan all changed.
"Are you talking about Gu Lu? Little Prince Gu Lu?" Liu Wen asked hurriedly.
Lu Yi nodded, "That's right."
"If it's Gu Lu, then it's different." Liu Wen said, "This campus wall can be used for publicity."
He omitted the last sentence, "Anyway, if there is a problem, there are tall people to help."
"My opinion is the same as Liu Wen's." The instructor spoke for the first time. "If this matter was initiated by Gu Lu, then our Time Radio will definitely help. It will also be a good thing for the students."
The vice president no longer had any thoughts of pirating. Gu Lu was so famous, wasn't pirating just asking for trouble?
To put it more bluntly, this Friday the Fog City Daily will be interviewing young writer Gu Lu, and the school has arranged a benefit that will allow several members of their Time Radio Station to watch.
President Liu Wen gave up automatically and allowed Vice President and Zhang Liwan to go and observe and learn. They are not on the same level, the Vice President thought.
"Chameleon?" Lu Yi thought of Chekhov's famous work in his mind.
Lu Yi took a deep breath. She had made a lot of preparations to persuade Time Radio, but in the end it was nothing but a name. It was a very vivid lesson.
Since he had agreed, Lu Yi discussed some details with Time Radio.
After the discussion, Zhang Liwan took the initiative to see Lu Yi off, but she thought he wouldn't get lost in school, so why should she see him off?
However, under Zhang Liwan's strong request, Lu Yi had no way to refuse.
"It was normal for them not to agree before." When they reached the stairs, Zhang Liwan spoke without warning, "Because helping with publicity is indeed against the regulations. If there is a problem, we can't be blamed, right?"
Lu Yi didn't say anything, but just listened with disapproval.
"The reason why I agreed to this is because you know how famous Gu Lu is in our school. If something happens, the principal won't blame him." Zhang Liwan said, "I don't have any other intentions in telling you this. I just want you to not have any negative feelings towards Time Radio. Since we want to cooperate, would you consider joining us?"
Directly recruiting people? This development was beyond Lu Yi's expectations.
"Our club can help with publicity in the early stages," Zhang Liwan said. "We can also benefit from it. If the No. 8 Middle School Wall is really built, there will definitely be a lot of interesting campus stories. With the consent of the contributors, some of them can also be broadcast on our Time Radio Station, and we will also have something to broadcast."
Lu Yi pondered for a moment and responded, "I need to discuss this with Gu Lu. After all, this method is..."
"I understand. No problem. Let's discuss it." Zhang Liwan nodded.
The students also have their own goals and are very energetic!
Outside of school, "The Little Prince" has been on the market for two weeks, and the Internet's enthusiasm for it has not dropped at all in the second week, because the publishing house has started to make a splash!
Sina Portal: "Europe has Oscar Wilde's The Happy Prince, and Asia has Gu Lu's The Little Prince."
Baidu News: "Famous book reviewer Wang Lizhi discusses the differences between The Little Prince and The Happy Prince."
Phoenix.com: "Let's get to know Gu Lu and have an exclusive interview with the editor of The Little Prince."
The news was spreading like wildfire.
Wang Lizhi and Yu Xinyao are incomparable. The latter can be called a literary critic, while the former is best known as a "big V" who never stops making shocking statements. For example, "The Decameron is just a pornographic article, and its status in the West is praised", "Lu Xun's views are very strong, but his writing is actually very weak, even worse than many of our college students", etc.
Many of his opinions were out of social context and were only meant to attract attention. Needless to say, these messages helped him accumulate a large number of fans and became the first generation of Weibo big V.
With such publicity, sales reached 15 copies in the second week!
As it stands, there is still potential to be tapped!
At the same time, the rising sales volume also attracted many "interested people", such as Chenyu Company, who arrived in the Fog City and wanted to discuss cooperation.
