Chapter 168 Oh, I Got It
Chapter 168 Oh, I Got It
"Okay, let me count them. It's probably 'Human Chair', 'Inhuman Love', 'One-inch Master', 'Traveling with Stickers', 'Mirror Hell', and 'Love Words on the Abacus'. These are the six, right?" Han Zang counted them clearly and sighed, "So he wrote so many works."
"I won't disturb Teacher Gu's rest. After all, Teacher Gu still has classes tomorrow." After saying that, Han Zang hung up the phone on his own initiative.
After hanging up the phone, Han Zang read the articles again and muttered, "Inhuman Love comes from the clay dolls in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. The ventriloquism and head-lifting of Master Yicun are a bit like the Maoshan Taoist priests in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. The fact that he travels with stickers is obviously a story about the murals in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio."
“Although many of his ideas come from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, he is able to write stories in his own style.” Han Zang was even more impressed because he was quite familiar with Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, but he couldn’t write these stories.
On the other hand, Mo Lei and Wang Gu in the video could only hear vaguely, mainly because Han Zang's voice became smaller and Gu Lu did not turn on the speakerphone.
But I could hear the first sentence when the phone was connected clearly!
"Teacher Gu, your work has been translated into Japanese?" Mo Lei was surprised.
"I translated a few articles and the response was good. They invited me to contribute again." Gu Lu nodded.
Mo Lei: Today’s students are becoming more and more terrifying!
Hairless Chicken King Valley: This kid is so fucking outrageous!
"No wonder I heard our president Dao Mei say that Teacher Gu writes better short stories than novels," said Mo Lei.
The Little Prince is actually a short story, so it is correct to say so.
"Teacher Gu Lu has accomplished something that most writers cannot accomplish in their lifetime," said painter Wang Gu.
"It's a perfect opportunity." Gu Lu was not surprised at the news.
Edogawa Ranpo's style is unique, with basically no substitutes. For the articles published in China, three were signed to the station, and for the articles published abroad, three were actively invited to contribute.
“Even if I can’t reach the heights of the father of Japanese mystery novels in my previous life, I am still powerful.” Gu Lu thought to himself.
The QQ video conference here also ended, and Gu Lu was about to turn off the computer, but he received a notice from Science Fiction World that his manuscript had been accepted.
"Hmm? How come the review speed of Science Fiction World is a little faster than expected?" Gu Lu glanced at the time.
It’s getting late. I’ll add the editor’s friends after school tomorrow. I’ll wash up and go to bed first.
"Being the champion of New Reading has its advantages. Sample issues are delivered to me every month." Gu Lu fell asleep while looking at the magazine.
It’s good to live alone. You can arrange the furniture as you like. He put a small bookcase next to his bed.
The bookcase is not much higher than the bed, and can be used to store books or as a bedside table.
Gu Lu had a nightmare. He dreamed that he failed to successfully cross over into another soul. Then, as a soul, he watched his original body slowly decay until it became a giant...
"Oh my god—" Gu Lu suddenly stood up, awakened by the fright.
He regretted it. If he had known earlier, he should not have read horror magazines before going to bed. Although he himself did not believe in these things, he did believe in his dreams!
"Oh no! I live alone on Earth. If I die suddenly and don't have any acquaintances, will it cause trouble to the landlord?" Gu Lu thought of this.
He is just like his original self, with no relatives or social circle around him. No one would notice him if he disappeared for a few days. Perhaps he would only be discovered if he left a stench throughout the corridor.
"I'll burn some incense for you when I get a chance, and wish you good health." Gu Lu thought, if someone died in the room, the value of the house would definitely depreciate, and it would also be an unprovoked disaster for the landlord.
But Gu Lu has gone to another world, so there is nothing we can do.
Because he was awakened by a start, Gu Lu was in a daze for the whole morning, and only recovered a little during the third or fourth class.
"Brother Gulu, what are you doing?"
Ever since Gu Lu came up with the method of "targeted reading", Qi Caiwei has always called him "Brother Gulu".
When it comes to boys, you call me brother and I call you brother. The names we address each other are different. Qi Caiwei really treats Gu Lu as her elder brother.
"It's a casting for a stage play. Let me take a look." Gu Lu said.
Chairman Shen Tiemei has presided over the preliminary selections for a series of roles including the Little Prince, the Fox, the Rose, the Drunkard, etc. The list that Gu Lu received was for the stage play actors who entered the re-selection.
"Huh? Casting for a stage play!" Qi Caiwei's big eyes were full of confusion.
"The Little Prince was adapted into a children's play, and they were selecting actors. I am also the original author, so they wanted to ask for my opinion," said Gu Lu. It wasn't that he brought it to school on purpose to show off, but for convenience, the Municipal Drama Theater sent it directly to the school via fax.
The document was sent by Mr. Zhang from the Academic Affairs Office.
"Awesome, awesome, Gu Lu, you are so awesome. Your work can be adapted into a stage play today, so can't you make it into a TV series tomorrow?"
I don’t know when the panda Wei Jiao next to me said loudly, okay, now the whole class knows it.
"Brother Gulu, look at me, you look at me. As the school idol of No. 8 Middle School, can I play a role?" Lu Ping said immediately.
"The most handsome boy in No. 8 Middle School? Who agreed?" Li Guyuan adjusted his glasses.
"Did I say anything?" Zeng Jie said even louder, "In terms of looks, I should win without any controversy, right?"
"You shameless bastard! Ask my classmates if they know my name in the basketball club?" Lu Ping said.
Well, the students’ attention was successfully diverted, and they all focused on who was more handsome.
"Gulu, do you think I look like an actor?" Wei Jiao said, "I also watched the school rehearsal in the park yesterday. I think I can act like one."
"This children's play is the opening show of the Youth Art Center of the Municipal Drama Theater. It is estimated that there will be thousands of people watching it. Can you really do it?" Gu Lu asked.
"..." Wei Jiao coughed twice, "Is the scene so grand? I thought it was similar to the last school celebration."
"How is that possible? Look at these actors on the list," Qi Caiwei pointed.
Wei Jiao's eyes swept over casually——
[National Second-Class Actor
Name: Dai Xi
Graduated from: Beijing Film Academy (Department of Performance)
Main stage works:
In 2002, she played Xiaolan in the children's play "Malan Flower", produced by Sichuan Children's Art Theater
In 2005, she played June in the children's play "Little Rabbit Run", produced by Sichuan Children's Art Theater.
In 2009, she played Princess Baihua in the second part of the children's play "Journey to the West", produced by Sichuan Children's Art Theater.
Main awards: Top Ten Outstanding Youths in Sichuan Province in 2010. ]
"He's a national second-level actor and one of the top ten outstanding young people in Sichuan Province. How amazing." Wei Jiao exclaimed. These two titles meant a lot to her as she was still a student.
The key point is that these big shots were actually selected by Ren Gulu, this is too amazing!
"Gu Lu, do you have so much power?" Wei Jiao asked.
"It's not me who makes the decision. I just offer some suggestions." Gu Lu said that some roles are already predetermined.
Just like Dai Xi, who is at the top of the profile sheet, she was recruited from the neighboring Sichuan Province. Basically, she plays the role of the fox. The key is that in terms of ability, Dai Xi is also the strongest.
"When the show starts, if it's not expensive, I will definitely go to support it!" said Wei Jiao.
"The exact time depends on the progress of the rehearsal. I don't know either." Gu Lu said, "But I will let you know when the time comes."
Wei Jiao made an OK gesture.
The bell rang for class and Teacher Gao came over wearing sneakers. Her dressing style has always been practical.
"Before class, congratulations to Gu Lu for having his play The Little Prince adapted by the Wudu City Drama Theater." Teacher Gao applauded and congratulated him before class began.
"We all know it."
"That's right, teacher. We knew it before you did."
The students were talking a lot.
"In that case, do you know that Gu Lu's The Little Prince won the Fog City Novel Award - Best Novella Award?" Teacher Gao said again.
"Huh? I won!" Gu Lu was surprised.
