Chapter 204 was written into an article
A total of three photos were printed, one each for Gu Lu, Tu Liang, and the shop owner Lao Lei. Among them, the photo Lao Lei developed at the printing house was the largest because it was going to be framed and hung in the shop. The remaining two were of normal size, one each for Gu and Tu.
Gu Lu doesn't like taking photos, let alone group photos that need to be framed. There are no photos taken at the famous Changting Teahouse. This group photo at Laoshancheng Fish Hotpot is the only two group photos of King Guru that have been framed.
A few days later, Wu Du, not knowing whether he had come to terms with it or not, called Tu Liang.
“Actually, this photo is quite rare.”
"Old Tu, can you please contact the shop owner, Old Lei, and ask him if he can develop another photo from his camera?"
"Let me ask for you... Unfortunately, Lao Lei said that the memory card was broken by a child and cannot be cleaned."
"Actually, photos are useless. Lao Tu, give me your photos—"
"Beep beep..."
The above is the conversation between Wu Du and Tu Liang when they called each other.
Tu Liang was a genuine bad friend, so he never tired of "propagating" the matter. He mentioned this to the Wudu Writers Association, and the vice chairman Mo Huaiqi heard it.
Chairman Mo, who was born in the early 1950s, is now in his sixties and has achieved great success.
Therefore, when Mo Huaiqi writes, he no longer considers commercial matters. He just follows two principles: one is the pursuit of art in his heart, and the other is that he finds it interesting.
This was quite interesting, so Mo Huaiqi also wrote a short story "Four People and Three Photos" and published it in the Sichuan Literature magazine...
Back to the present, after having a free dinner, Gu Lu returned home and sat on the sofa, thinking.
I was talking with two teachers from the Writers Association at the dinner table just now, and a certain sentence triggered a synthesis list.
【Using the past to describe the present】【Opening a new precedent for note novels】【New Era Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio】
Gu Lu was fascinated by the three labels. What kind of writer is so amazing that he can be called the New Era Liao Zhai!
Gu Lu was too familiar with "Liao Zhai", which was the best shield. He walked to the small bookshelf and picked up a book that he had read many times and left many "traces" on it. It was published by Zhonghua Book Company and included 491 stories.
The moment he got it, the synthesis list "beeped" again. Gu Lu even wondered if it was an illusion. Then the three labels were combined into a book "New Interpretation of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
Details: This book includes 13 short stories written by Wang Zengqi and adapted from Pu Songling's Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, showing Wang Zengqi's return to modernism. It is the best work of rewriting Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio in modern times.
"Huh? Mr. Wang Zengqi, the big foodie!"
"You also rewrote Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?"
Gu Lu's impression of Wang Zengqi was that he knew how to eat. I remember the description "The watermelon was hung in the well with a rope. In the afternoon, it was cut open. When the knife was cut, there was a snapping sound. The cool air spread all over the place, even the eyes were cool."
To be honest, Gu Lu felt like he had eaten a watermelon in his eyes.
Many people have been driven away by butterflies in this world, so even though Gu Lu knew that there was no Wang Zengqi, he never thought that he would draw a work by Mr. Wang.
"This may be the fastest synthesized work," Gu Lu muttered. Originally, the work required both hearing similar dialogues from the book and owning an item from the book, so it would be fast to synthesize it in one or two months. The previous "Sorrowful Grocery Store" was not released for more than three months and was directly replaced.
Ruiyun, Huangying, Shuangdeng, Huabi, Lu Pan, Mingbaiguan...
Gu Lu glanced at the table of contents in his mind. He had impressions of many chapters. It seemed that this Lu Pan had acted in a TV series and Huabi had acted in a movie.
After reading one or two articles, Gu Lu sighed that everyone was indeed worthy of being called a master. The rewrite of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, adding new things, was not awkward. "Wait--"
"Can I submit this story to People's Literature?!"
The more Gu Lu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. His work "If There Were No Li Bai" had been nominated and it was quite impressive, but he had missed the only chance to be published in the People's Literature magazine.
To be more precise, it is not a miss, because the article is indeed a little short of the publication requirements.
Gu Lu immediately stopped writing Flowers for Algernon and started working on New Interpretations of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio...
After all, Gu Lu was still looking forward to being published in the most prestigious literary magazine in the country. At present, he had basically passed the test of popular literature magazines, and it was time to slowly focus on literature!
In fact, Gu Lu has two books in his hand, "When the Stars Shine" and "Aimee's Short Stories". The former is not suitable for publication, but the latter is.
Why didn’t Gu Lu submit the short story of the French weirdo Saint-Aimé to People’s Literature?
Because its literary quality was quite high, it would be a bit exaggerated if it was published in the first year of high school. Gu Lu planned to let it sit for two years and wait for the publication after graduation from the third year of high school or the first year of college.
It’s not that Wang Zengqi’s literary quality is inferior to Aimee’s. In fact, when it comes to their level, it’s not something that Gu Lu can tell which is higher.
It's just that he loves reading "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", and many of his articles' ideas come from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Kogoro Akechi's short stories even imitate the style of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, which criticizes corruption and cruelty.
This kind of thing has been mentioned many times in the Young Pioneers and the Fog City Morning Post, just like "Washington chopping down the cherry tree".
There is also Lao Li’s “hard work in publicity”, which people in the circle also know a thing or two about.
In this case, isn't it more reasonable for Gu Lu to rewrite the short stories from Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio?
He personally thought that the transition from popular literature to traditional literature would require a smoother process. Or maybe Gu Lu was just worrying too much. Anyway, he was just waiting for the right opportunity.
Over the next two days, Gu Lu went home in the afternoons and tinkered with this matter, writing "Double Lamps" and "Auspicious Clouds".
This time he didn't ask Lao Li, but sent it directly to the mailbox, because he thought that such a high-end newspaper should not have any internal submission options.
In fact, Gu Lu had too thick a filter when reading People's Literature. In fact, the "well-connected" Lao Li of the Story Club actually knew the editor-in-chief of People's Literature...
Interestingly, there are three email addresses for submissions to the People's Literature magazine, one for poetry, one for non-fiction essays, and one for novels.
Studying in school is of course a routine, although there are some minor changes. Gu Lu and Qi Caiwei were given the task of arranging the blackboard newspaper.
Qi Caiwei is very normal. She is the arts and literature committee member and is the team leader for every issue of the blackboard newspaper. The team leader remains, but the team members come and go.
"Today our teacher's topic is 'Be courteous to others, an excellent student in the new era'." Qi Caiwei said, "Gulu, do you have any ideas?"
"I'll listen to the cultural and arts committee member." Gu Lu said obediently.
Qi Caiwei was also very adept at it, "Then let's write a short story about giving way to pedestrians, and then draw two portraits on the left and right, and we'll be done."
Seeing that Gu Lu had no objection, Qi Caiwei began to assign tasks. Qi Caiwei painted the portrait and Gu Lu wrote. The work was not tiring with a man and a woman working together.
It's a bit misleading. Gu Lu stretched his arms to write, but he was also tired!
On the contrary, Qi Caiwei performed one move for more than ten minutes without any hesitation. Is this the advantage brought by dancing practice?
