Chapter 255: Seriously respond
Chapter 255 Serious Response
"Even if you, Xiao Gu, have a strong desire to create, you must protect the spark of your own inspiration." President Jian said based on his experience.
"I'll pay attention." Gu Lu thought about it and answered seriously.
"Perhaps I am too old and worry too much." Upon hearing this, President Jian said in a tone of returning the topic, "Do you know Georges Simenon?"
"He is the only mystery novelist in the world who can be called a writer." Gu Lu said, "I have read his books "The Hell of Husband and Wife" and "Poison". The writing is very strange. I don't know if it is because of the translation."
"It's not a translation problem. Simenon's writing style is indeed very special." President Jian answered Gu Lu's doubts first.
The reading threshold of Simenon is quite high, not because of the plot, but because of the language style.
"Georges Simenon was a famous quick-shooter. He wrote 1 pages of manuscripts a day and finished a novel in three days. In the later period, he had to suppress his desire to create, and only then could he slow down to one novel a month. In his lifetime, he wrote 100 novels." President Jian said, "But most of his works are mystery themes."
I feel that President Jian's words are very entangled. On the one hand, he reminds people not to "abuse" creativity, but on the other hand, he doesn't want his words to put shackles on others. In the end, he is still worried that Gu Lu is like a firework, which is only brilliant for a moment.
"I understand, Uncle Jian," Gu Lu responded seriously, "Because I don't have evening self-study, I keep reading for about two hours every day. I can read about four or five books a week."
"Although I output quickly, I am also not slow in absorbing information. As for my current experience, I have also been abroad and have seen a lot of things. Uncle Jian, you don't have to worry."
Gu Lu said a lot at once, because he knew clearly that the contradiction in President Jian's words was because he cared about him very much.
Although he couldn't tell everyone about his golden finger, Gu Lu could still use other words to reassure President Jian.
"I feel much more relieved to hear that you have made arrangements." President Jian nodded, and the two did not exchange much pleasantries.
After hanging up the phone, King Gollum was a little cautious. President Jian's words meant that his writing efficiency was indeed inhumane.
“The number of words is not too many, but the different writing styles and the crazy cross-subject matter are what make people worry.” Gu Lu analyzed himself.
Fortunately, no matter how many times he changes his subject matter, they are all short stories, just like Stephen King - oh, this world doesn't exist, Stephen King has basically covered all the genres he can when writing short stories, and of course the supernatural is the most famous.
"If possible, please give me more short stories of various types, and a synthesis sequence, please. I have too many classic short stories on my bookshelf in my previous life."
"A lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth. Now people in the industry and readers are used to my different writing style."
“Write more short stories of different genres to lay the foundation for writing long stories in the future.”
Gu Lu was thinking alone in the community office. It had been a long time since he had triggered it. Was it because he had been following a routine too much recently?
Think about it carefully, it requires lines and items to be obtained, but how can it be triggered if nothing new happens?
The next second, there was a knock on the door, interrupting his thoughts.
Who? He suddenly became nervous and tiptoed to the door. He didn't know why he was nervous. Gu Lu was not afraid of the light.
"It's me, it's me. Please reply if you get it. Please reply if you get it."
The voice is Qi Caiwei.
As soon as I opened the door, the other party slipped in through the small gap and closed the door tightly the next second, just like a thief.
I moved so quickly that I almost caught the ends of my hair when I closed the door.
"It's only natural to reciprocate! I'll give you something too." Qi Caiwei stated the reason without waiting for the other party to ask.
Then, he watched Qi Caiwei take out a small box and estimate the size of her palm.
Why did Gu Lu subconsciously think it was a watch? Because he had received it before.
"What is this?" Gu Lu asked, "Can I open it?"
"Of course, I'll give it to you, and it's yours." After Qi Caiwei said this, she opened the door and left quietly.
Come quietly, just as leave quietly? Gu Lu was stunned for two or three seconds before he came back to his senses and opened the box.
Inside was a very delicate little bead, not as cheap as a glass bead, but it was cold in the hand, and the material also made Gu Lu feel that it was not a very expensive item. The bead was the size of a beer cap, and when he looked inside, there seemed to be quicksand and shiny little stones inside the bead, like a flowing galaxy.
"It's quite beautiful," Gu Lu thought the price should be about the same, so he accepted it.
Now that we are talking about this, let’s briefly talk about the souvenirs that Gu Lu brought to school.
Wei Jiao, Lu Yi, Dou Ke and other less familiar friends, a capsule toy.
The pen-spinning king Tian Xiao has a Naruto keychain (about 88 yuan), and a signed poster of Fujimaki Tadatoshi that Lu Ping asked for (free of charge).
Qi Caiwei's Teruna beauty bookmark produced by Teruna Reishin Temple in Chiba Prefecture (about 110 yuan).
Li Guyuan is the One Piece pen (about 135 yuan), which is more practical than the figure.
Teacher Gao has Arima Onsen powder (about 348 yuan). I heard that the head teacher likes to take a hot spring bath.
As for the other gifts given to other people, they were kept at home and not brought to school. Anyway, Gu Lu was very thoughtful this time.
During class——
"CC, are we good sisters?"
"of course."
"Your bookmark is quite nice. How about giving it to me?" Wei Jiao said to Qi Caiwei.
"Uh..." Qi Caiwei was stuck. She thought for a moment and said, "If you like it, I can buy you an identical one."
"Ah, what's the difference between this and the one I bought on behalf of someone else? I might as well just give you this first." Wei Jiao pretended to be confused, but there was a smile of a funny person in her eyes.
If anyone else spoke like this, it would come off as aggressive.
But what Wei Jiao said made Qi Caiwei feel normal. She knew that her sister had abnormal brain circuits.
Regarding what happened last semester, if Qi Caiwei hadn't been watching, Wei Jiao would have almost rushed over to the door and quarreled with Qi's mother.
"The bookmark is not important. What's important is the person who gives the gift." Qi Caiwei responded.
The panda didn't expect the little sisters to be so calm, and immediately he had less intention of entertaining them.
"Oh, Gu Lu is very important." Wei Jiao's voice became unusually high.
"Yes, because he taught me a lot of things and he is a very good master, not just in terms of composition." Qi Caiwei nodded.
"Okay, nothing more." Wei Jiao lay on the desk, her interest completely gone.
"Do you want more bookmarks?" Qi Caiwei asked.
"No, I suddenly feel that bookmarks are not so pretty anymore." Wei Jiao originally thought that her little sister liked Gu Lu, so she was ready to tease her. There is no "human rights" for couples in school.
But judging from CC’s answer, no?
"Before I knew it, the first year of high school is almost over. I feel so hopeless." Wei Jiao said weakly.
Another peaceful day has passed, and there is only one week left before Flatland is released.
After school, Gu Lu went home and logged onto his computer. Zhou Lin did not respond to his Penguin account. Instead, he received a message from Xiangchuan Press asking them to represent him in the Korean version of The Little Prince.
"Xiang Chuan Society also has business scope in South Korea? The key is that I am not very popular in South Korea." Now Gu Lu really doesn't know that he is being criticized in South Korea.
