Chapter 224 I want to take a look
Chapter 224 I want to take a look
"Because the first article I submitted to Mengya was about my grandmother's death, I always felt that I didn't have much ability. It was mainly because of this experience that I got my article accepted." Li Guyuan said, "The second article I submitted to Mengya, I revised it two or three times but it still didn't get accepted."
"If I had kept revising until I succeeded, I wouldn't have lost confidence," Li Guyuan said. "After the break, my confidence also disappeared. I became more convinced that I was able to pass the manuscript the first time because of my true feelings. My writing skills and other aspects were not up to standard at all."
Rejection and revision? So familiar, Gu Lu thought, could it be that Li Guyuan also encountered the same editor? Otherwise, there is no habit of asking people to revise the manuscripts submitted to Mengya.
If it works, it works; if it doesn’t, it doesn’t work. Mengya has no shortage of manuscripts.
"That's the case. If you are interrupted midway and fail, you will no longer have confidence in this matter." Li Guyuan said, "Qi Caiwei's forced abandonment halfway will also turn her hobby into a thorn."
Is that right?
Gu Lu thought about it carefully, and it was true. In his previous life, he had failed to publish a fairy tale novel, changed his account and ran away. Then, even if he had a good fairy tale idea in his mind, or wrote a complete outline, he would still deny himself and think from the bottom of his heart, "Is fairy tale a subject you can touch?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Lu was in his twenties before traveling through time, and he just figured this out now, and he was actually enlightened by a high school student.
"Gulu, I believe in you. When I was lacking in confidence, it was you who pulled me out of that lack of confidence." Li Guyuan said, "This will definitely be no problem."
After explaining the students' matters, report on the teachers' whereabouts.
Did you notice that on today’s campus activity day, no instructor was present for the basketball club, Model United Nations, or the literature club?
Because today is also the day for the instructors of more than 20 clubs to hold a meeting, chaired by the vice-president.
The principal, Chang Lianxin, is still receiving people from Neon Publishing House.
"If there is time, President Yuguchi, Editor-in-Chief Sato, and Mr. Fujimaki Tadashi can go around the Fog City."
Principal Chang was quite happy. He had thought that Gu Lu's goal of becoming a nationally influential figure during high school was already a very far-fetched goal, but he never expected that he could become famous abroad.
The school trains a talented writer student.
The school trains a talented student writer who is published overseas.
The value of the two is completely different.
"Principal Chang, how can we get to the three places: Suokou Hill, Wenti Road, Ganghua, and Danzishi?" Editor-in-Chief Sato also suggested the places he wanted to go.
The foreigner's words puzzled both Principal Chang and Director Hu, "?"
We talked about how the transition zone came about earlier. From an economic perspective, it was built around Chongqing Iron and Steel.
There is Anshan Iron and Steel in the north and Chongqing Iron and Steel in the south! In 2011, the amount of ship steel plates produced was the second largest in the country. You can imagine what a huge company it is. Therefore, although there were some environmental problems in the Dukou District in the past few years, it was still quite rich... In recent years, Chongqing Iron and Steel has moved away because it wants to build a more environmentally friendly main urban area.
Chongqing Iron and Steel is located in Dukou District. It is not just a tax issue. There are tens of thousands of people working in the factory. Each worker represents a family. They are the group of people who drive consumption. Without this group of people, Dukou District can be said to be completely ruined.
This is the reason why Chang and Hu are confused. After Chongqing Steel moved away, the environment has not improved; the economy is in a slump; Danzishi and Ganghua are around Chongqing Steel, and the large area of houses in Suokouqiu where Gu Lu used to live were all housing for Chongqing Steel's family members.
What's so good about traveling in this place? It's far worse than their sandy area.
Director Hu was curious about how he knew these place names. Principal Chang was very smart and suddenly asked, "What are you going to visit in these places?"
“Of course,” said Editor-in-Chief Sato, “these place names all appear in Gu Sang’s works. I checked before coming to China, and the places all really exist.”
Editor-in-Chief Sato just saw Gu Lu and said that he particularly liked his work, and it was not a commercial compliment.
After reading it carefully and liking it, Sato became very curious about the place names in the short story. After listening to the translator's narration, Principal Chang was a little silent. It's not that exaggerated to go to a place to read a novel. I don't understand it.
Although he couldn't understand it, Principal Chang still told us how to get to places like Danzishi and Ganghua.
It is normal that Principal Chang cannot understand. This is not a problem of vision, but a problem of the development of the country's cultural and entertainment industry.
As a developed country, Japan's entertainment industry has long been mature, so it is normal for a novel, an animation or a TV series to make a place famous.
Haven’t you seen that Kawabata Yasunari’s “The Dancing Girl of Izu” with more than 10,000 words made Izu famous all over the world…
In another ten years, the domestic entertainment industry will be developed and mature, and it will be even more exaggerated. Anyway, when Gu Lu traveled back in time, "Chengdu has its own Disneyland", which really made people speechless.
"Fujimaki, are you going?" Editor-in-Chief Sato invited.
Vice President Yukou had to go back to the hotel to sort out the terms that had been agreed upon with Gu Lu, and also to arrange some company matters, so he didn't have time.
Fujimaki Tadatoshi was not interested because even though he drew illustrations for Gu Lu, he had never seen the work.
So Editor-in-Chief Sato went alone - I hope he won't be disappointed.
In Class 10's classroom.
"Brother Chelun, am I awesome today?" Lu Ping was bragging to Zeng Jie, and when he saw Gu Lu, he quickly greeted him.
"Gulu, is what Pingtou said true?" Zeng Jie was full of doubt. "Is he really going to be drawn into the comics? They said that during the club activities, a cartoonist came. What did he draw?"
"'Kuroko's Basketball' is a very good basketball comic and very famous." Lu Ping continued.
"That's not right," Ma Xuanyou said beside him, "Didn't you say before that Kuroko basketball is rubbish?"
"Defamation, defamation. You can take random medicine, but you can't say random words. It should be said that, apart from Slam Dunk, is there any anime more famous than Kuroko Basketball?" Lu Ping said, "No, so Kuroko Basketball is also very good."
Zeng Jie is not interested in who is excellent and who is not. He does not read comics either, so he cares more about whether things are true or false.
"The comic extra-episode is indeed going to be based on the No. 8 Middle School basketball team." Gu Lu nodded. He definitely knew because the cartoonist had consulted him.
"Haha, what do you think? Are you envious?!" Lu Ping laughed wildly.
"What a shame! I don't read comics." Zeng Jie said gritting his teeth.
Not watching it is one thing, but this thing is so cool.
Strictly speaking, if it weren't for Gu Lu and some coincidences, it would be impossible for an ordinary person to become the prototype.
No! Not just normal, but also the third, fourth, and tenth shifts are not allowed.
The voices of several people were not low, so more students heard it.
"What? Are you talking about the cartoonist of Kuroko Basketball coming to school? How come I didn't know?! I've even seen this anime." "Why is your story so mysterious?" "Is he still here? Can I go get his autograph?"...
The classmates' envy was beyond words.
