Chapter 246 Fortunately among misfortunes
Chapter 246 Fortunately among misfortunes
The most crucial thing is that due to the influence of the Literature and Art Newspaper, those who came out to argue were not netizens, but well-known figures, although they did not necessarily have ID cards.
"Involution and pushing children to study hard? This may be how students view education. During the school period, students must be made aware that studying hard is a responsibility! It is hard to imagine what the post-90s generation who do not study hard and do not know how to make sacrifices will become when they grow up!"
As soon as the education expert Qiu Gao came up, he immediately identified Gu Lu as a student.
Since you are a student and not a famous fairy tale writer, your words have no credibility.
Before the end, a big man in the publishing field, "Kejianqiuzhou", came out to speak: "The two terms "involution" and "chicken baby" are quite interesting. With the rapid development of the economy, parents are more strict in educating their children, and academic pressure has increased sharply. Therefore, reducing academic pressure is also an important part. Gu Lu is both an insider and an outsider. From his "The Little Prince" and a series of short stories, we can see that Gu Lu has rich thoughts on education."
Why do we say that they do not necessarily have ID cards? Because one of the two people mentioned above has changed his nationality.
They were debating on the current education policy, and it was quite clear from their speeches.
"No matter what the previous evaluation of our country's education is, the fact that college students will not be able to find jobs in the future shows that Gu Lu is exaggerating. Considering that Gu Lu is still a high school student, it is understandable. But at the same time, he is also a public figure, and we hope he will be responsible for his words and deeds." This was the voice of another professor named Gong He.
Li Quan, a reporter from the Literary Gazette, was a little stunned. He didn't expect so many monsters and goblins to pop up - ahem, experts and professors.
It seems that Gu Lu is young and famous? The most important thing is that he has no background and is not easy to be bullied.
Li Quan felt a little guilty, but soon he discovered a piece of data and his guilt disappeared.
According to the book sales data from Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the sales of The Little Prince topped the sales charts in several cities in the days when Gu Lu became the target of criticism for his remarks.
The buyers this time were all adults.
Why? Perhaps many adults want to know what kind of student writer could make such controversial statements.
In just a few days, "The Little Prince" sold 11 copies, almost catching up with the few days when Yu Xinyao made his comments.
The Children's Literature Publishing House also wants to publish a collector's edition.
As for the person involved, Gu Lu, several newspapers wanted to ask him what he thought.
"As an adult, please don't delay the studies of underage students." Gu Lu rejected all of them with one sentence.
There is really nothing to say. He knows the future situation. It is what it is. But Gu Lu has not studied the education industry, and he said almost the same thing during the interview.
How should I put it? Gu Lu thought that his classmates would come and ask him what exactly happened.
To this end, he had already made up a lie in his mind in advance.
As a result, no one paid attention!
You know what? That feeling is very awkward. It's like being constipated in the middle of the night. It's uncomfortable if you push hard, and even more uncomfortable if you don't.
"Tian Xiao, you usually have the habit of reading news and newspapers. Do you know the Literary Gazette?"
"I don't know. I only read real estate news in the newspaper."
"?"
The reason behind looking at real estate is heartwarming. It turns out that they are worried that they won’t be able to afford a house when they grow up.
"CC, have you been paying attention to any of the bigger disputes lately?"
“I know, Thatcher passed away a few days ago, and then there were people online commenting on whether Mrs. Thatcher’s contribution to Britain was good or bad.”
"…pay more attention to domestic affairs and why discuss Thatcher."
"There are also cases in China. Leslie Cheung committed suicide on April Fool's Day, and it attracted a lot of attention."
"Very good, do you like Leslie Cheung?"
"It's okay, I'm not a fan. And I think I'm pretty awesome, hehe."
What does being a fan have to do with how powerful you are?
Gu Lu then asked some classmates... Then he realized a truth, don't think of yourself as too famous. Regarding the issue of attention, Gu Lu was not the only one who was concerned about it, and President Jian also encountered it.
"Why do you only focus on these things? Why don't you focus on more meaningful things?" President Jian sighed.
President Jian was quite happy when he first saw the Literary Gazette, wondering how much resources this wave of publicity could save for Flatland.
Result – all focused on the education sector.
Fortunately, the sales of The Little Prince increased dramatically as a result of this. According to this trend, the sales will exceed one million copies within one year of its release.
Let’s look at the Internet. President Jian clicked on Gu Lu. He is level 19 in Gu Lu. His name is [Tong Gu, understand?].
In the Gu Lu Bar, President Jian posted a message.
"Are you looking forward to Gu Lu's popular science article?"
"It should be a national task, right? I heard that famous science fiction writers can write about it. Gu Lu's fame is mostly due to science fiction, so it's normal for him to be invited."
"Most of his fame comes from science fiction? The Little Prince? Gu Lu's science fiction is just like that, local literature in the guise of science fiction. So I don't have much expectation for popular science articles."
"Awesome, local literature? It's been translated abroad, and it's still 'just like that', you're really awesome. Although he writes good science fiction, Gu Lu's greatest achievement so far is fairy tales, okay?"
"Does 'Rui Yun' mean a joke? You should learn more about the Pu Songling Short Story Award."
……
Very good. It turns out that Gu Luba has nothing useful to say and has gone off topic after a while.
The most amazing thing is that they are all fans of the same writer, but they would belittle each other. President Jian silently closed the webpage.
The dispute about education later deviated from Gu Lu's remarks and there was no result for a week or two.
The reason for leaving was because Gu Lu did not stand up to speak.
No matter how big the events outside were, to Class 10, the news of Lu Ping and Huang Lu’s breakup was not as big a deal.
Dou Ke was the happiest when these two people broke up.
Gu Lu didn't have time to listen to these gossips because he had more important things to do.
"Is it dangerous to go abroad?" asked Teacher Gao.
"No, the specific matters have been arranged by the other publishing house, and I also have acquaintances here." Gu Lu said.
"You still have to be careful about your safety. You can't speak the language well abroad." Teacher Gao reminded, and then she approved Gu Lu's request for four days of leave.
That’s right, it’s time for Gu Lu to go to Neon to attend the launch of his new book.
At that time, there were no direct flights from Fog City to Tokyo, so I had to transfer in Shanghai.
May 4th, neon green day.
It's a legal holiday for the Japanese, and today, air tickets to Okinawa, Arima, Hakone and other places are sold out.
For ordinary people, it is a time to relax, and for the Neon Culture Festival, it is a time for the fairy tale king Kenji Miyazawa to speak again.
As mentioned earlier, Kenji Miyazawa has a very high status in Japan, but he has not published any works since 2007.
Today is an exception.
