Chapter 191 Gu Lu was stunned
Chapter 191 Gu Lu was stunned
Gu Lu's three works were nominated for two awards, the ALL Reading Newcomer Novel Award and the Neon Thriller Award.
The Umezu Award was submitted by Kazukuma Yasuda under the pen name Junji Ito, and it is the only "4-picture" evaluation since the award was established.
The Umezu Award is judged by four judges, and the highest evaluation from the judges is to give a "図" mark. Yasuda was the first to give a full score.
The editorial department of Halloween Monthly immediately signed another comic by Yasuda, "Human Head Balloon". Once signed, they would definitely promote it, so there were many reporters on the day of the award ceremony.
Yasuda felt very restrained at the moment. He had just ordered the suit in Guanyin Temple City a week before coming to receive the award. It fit him well when he tried it on, but he felt it was a bit tight on his chest.
"Ito-san's works reflect his meticulous observation of life. It is precisely because of this observation that he can present a strong contrast between delicacy and horror in his paintings." Award comments.
Will the shirt be wrinkled? Yasuda was still worried about this issue until he stood up and took the trophy in his hands.
The trophy was like 60-proof liquor, making Yasuda dizzy. He had no memory of what happened afterwards until he walked out of the editorial office, sat in a nearby cafe, and was interviewed by Chunqiu Literature and Art. Only then did his IQ gradually return to his brain.
Thinking becomes normal.
The third question from the Chunqiu literary journalist is, "Ito-san has been drawing comics since he was eleven years old. Who would you like to thank the most for winning the Umezu Award, which is the highest award in history?"
"I want to thank my mother the most." It was almost an instinctive answer, but the next moment, Yasuda Kazuma thought about it and responded.
"I also want to thank Mr. Katsuhiko Oe. It is his encouragement that allows me to continue to firmly follow this path." Yasuda Kazuma said, "The second person I want to thank is Mr. Gu Lu. Mr. Gu Lu is a talented genius."
"この桑?" The Bungeishunju reporter couldn't tell whether it was a Chinese name or a Japanese name just by listening to the pronunciation.
Because Japan only registers real names (kanji), the pronunciation of real names is very random. For example, "Kawabata Yasunari", the surname Kawabata can be pronounced as "かわばた". If you insist that Kawabata is pronounced as "か", others will have no choice but to call it that. This has resulted in Japan, which already has many surnames, having all kinds of strange pronunciations.
Speaking of Gu Lu, Yasuda's words were filled with gratitude and he talked more.
"Gu Lusang is a Chinese writer. He is a genius writer that can only be born in 300 million people. He has serialized many articles in "Floating Literature", and "The Human Chair" is one of them." Yasuda Kazuma said, "Reading Gu Lusang's articles, you will feel like a mayfly seeing the blue sky. Although he is young, he can depict the low point of human nature with just a few strokes. Gu Lusang..."
"Okay, Yasuda-san, I roughly understand." The Bungeishunju reporter interrupted hastily, and he hadn't finished talking yet, "So what else do you want to say to your future self, Yasuda-san?"
"I hope you can stay on this path firmly!" Yasuda Kazuma changed the subject, "Gu Lusang's articles are a treasure trove. If you want to draw horror themes but don't have a suitable story, go and read Gu Lusang's works. He left everything there!"
“……”Is it the Age of Discovery?
The reporter from Bungeishunju was a little speechless. How could a Chinese writer be praised? At the same time, as a reporter, he also became curious about what kind of author could be praised so much.
So after the interview with Bungeishunju reporter was finished, he went to collect information and carefully read several articles serialized in "Fuwenzhi".
No wonder it is praised so much, it turns out that Wen Hang was translated by Junji Ito. At the same time, the reporter from Bungeishunju also felt that the article is indeed good and has a unique style.
Especially, according to the author's information given by "Ububunshi", the author is only sixteen years old! Think about himself, his dream at the age of sixteen was just to save up 30 yen to become a male actor!
Therefore, the reporter from Bungeishunju named this interview "Junji Ito's Success and the Man Behind Him!"
The report will be released next week. After all, Bungeishunju is a monthly magazine and is released on the 8th of every month.
Currently, Gu Lu is in a bad mood as his plan to break through with the award has failed.
It wasn't the frustration of the failed plan, but Gu Lu felt that he had plagiarized, which made his previous work a little dusty. It was probably the self-blame of wasting good things.
Overall, Gu Lu is a somewhat conflicted person. This is not the case with other people on Earth. He doesn’t know if it’s a waste, but Gu Lu just can’t get over it in his heart.
Too much thinking leads to anxiety.
It took him about ten minutes to clean up the dishes and adjust his mentality. He couldn't go on a long journey with a depressed mood.
"Would you like a gift?" Gu Lu asked his sister over the phone.
"Want to want."
"You just said yes? Nothing else? This makes it very difficult for me to handle!"
"The best brother in the world will definitely give a gift to the best sister in the world, right!"
For the gift, Gu Jiayu is willing to say anything.
Gu Jiayu had originally planned to go play with her brother as soon as her final exam results came out, but a lot of things happened. First, her sisters made plans to go play with her for two or three days.
The second thing was to change her glasses. That's right! The female knight's eyes became more nearsighted. She didn't dare to tell her brother, so she could only change her glasses silently.
It was breakfast time and Gu Jiayu came to the dining table. If nothing unexpected happened, the Xiao family would have breakfast together during holidays.
Today, Gu's mother made an egg sandwich. She fried the toast until it was golden brown, spread a layer of jam on it, and then fried an egg. She sandwiched it between the front and back and it was done.
"Were you chatting with your brother just now?" Xiao Yang said, as suddenly as a mole suddenly popping out of a hole.
If it was before, Gu Jiayu would hide it, but now, "Tell me to come over and play when I have time."
Mother Gu seemed to be hesitant to speak, with a complicated expression.
"Jia Yu, look, he's your brother, we're a family, so if we round it off, he's also my brother, right?" Xiao Yang said, "Can you help me get an autograph?!"
No wonder! In the past, Xiao Yang often bullied her, such as using her things without permission, but recently he didn't do that at all. So this was the reason. Gu Jiayu figured it out.
It is true. His own brother Gu Lu was stunned. If outsiders wanted to bully him again, they would have to think twice.
"Autograph? Are you also a fan of The Little Prince?" Father Xiao asked while eating a sandwich.
"I don't like reading books for children." Xiao Yang shook his head and said, "But Gu Lu himself is awesome - amazing. He is a three-good student in our foggy city, an advanced individual in spiritual civilization construction, and an outstanding member of the Communist Youth League."
"Our class teacher told us that the three awards of the city's three good students, advanced individuals, and outstanding league members are generally not likely to overlap, but Gu Lu won the awards repeatedly because he was so famous," said Xiao Yang.
"Your class teacher is telling you all this?" Father Xiao was a little surprised. Generally speaking, the class teacher would only compare students from other classes in the same school, and would rarely use students from other schools as examples.
Xiao Yang's next words surprised his father.
