Chapter 269 Why is he a leader? (5000 words)
I went house hunting this weekend and gulped down warm water when I got home. In the past, I would have definitely drunk iced Kola, but my stomach is not good and the doctor told me to eat less cold and spicy food.

So King Gollum hasn't drunk ice drinks for a long time.

Go online and see what Bilibili is up to.

[Bilibili specially invited the famous up master Guru King to participate in our site's "Fighting the May Disease Demon King".]
"Why do I suddenly have so many fans?" As soon as I logged into my account yesterday, Gu Lu was stunned into silence.

After some research, I found out that my sock puppet was exposed and promoted together with "Flatland".

Gu Lu didn't think much about it and just regarded it as a promotional resource purchased by President Jian.

Don’t panic, it’s not an alias. The name is Guru Dawang and the name of the Weibo platform is the same.

Yesterday, I was in a bad mood because Uncle Jian gave me a brief introduction to the struggles in the writer circle, so I didn’t study it carefully.

My mood has returned to a good state. I click on the link in the private message and jump to an activity video.

[In a May long, long ago, a sudden disease struck the world. People who contracted the disease lost control of their limbs and the ability to think, and human society suffered unprecedented...]
The call for papers for the second year includes all papers submitted in May, and the scope is very broad.

It turns out that Ah B was like this when he was young.

Gu Lu's gaze stayed on the personal homepage for a long time, mainly looking at the number of fans and the certification of well-known up-masters.

The only regret is that there is currently no medal for 100,000 fans.

"I didn't expect that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would become a famous blogger." Gu Lu said to himself. He laughed for a while before remembering the serious matters.

"Calling for papers? What's there to submit?" Gu Lu thought about it.

He spends most of his time in school now, does he want to pat his classmates?
It can be considered as an advertisement for the school, and Principal Chang will definitely agree. But the daily records of students are not very ups and downs, so not many people should read them.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't participate. I'm just a plagiarist, why would I bother with this?"

Gu Lu closed the Bilibili website and started to deal with work. Sometimes he was puzzled as to why writers did not write good books but had to organize group trips to collect materials.

You should know that in the field of online literature in the past, collecting folk songs was roughly equivalent to "salted fish" or a big sword.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, Gu Lu felt hungry and ordered some wontons to eat.

While eating, something suddenly occurred to him. Gu Lu seemed to know why the wires could not trigger "The Devotion of Suspect X".

In the original novel, the wires of the heated table, which is the Japanese kotatsu, were used to strangle the ex-husband, a rich and treacherous old thief. It is rare in China - but the problem is not uncommon.

Instead, the "murder weapon" was the trigger point. Holding an electric wire was the murder weapon? Gu Lu thought that if he had strangled himself with the wire at that time, it should have been fine.

"Ahem - eating bento is pretty good, even though it's a little expensive and not very tasty." Gu Lu believes safety comes first.

After eating the wonton, I read "My Name is Red", which has the beginning of a mystery novel.

As a hard-boiled mystery, it is above average, but such a well-written mystery opening is the least important part of the book...

"Pah!" Gu Lu suddenly put down the book and went back to Bilibili to think about posting the video.

The main reason is that he basically spent his entire life browsing Bilibili. He doesn't have much sentimentality towards the website, but he does have some sentimentality towards the outstanding UPs.

The next day, Gu Lu ordered a background picture from a printing shop.

Then I bought the equipment that was most suitable for newlyweds' photography that I found on Tieba yesterday. It cost me a lot in total.

During lunch break, when no one was in school, Gu Lu moved things to the club office like a little hamster.

Then I found the school leaders to apply, after all, the school had to be included in the film.

"That's roughly the idea." Gu Lu explained his shooting ideas to Director Hu.

The busy Director Hu did not even have time to rest at noon. He looked at the draft process carefully.

"There's really no need to say much about Xiao Gu's fame. He's always a top-tier website on any website." Director Hu praised. "I haven't been online for a long time, and I haven't heard of this website. Is Bili a good website?"

What does tonality mean?
Seeing the other person's eyes wide open, Gu Lu understood, "This website is not well-known now, but the atmosphere of the website is quite attractive to young people."

"So I predict that Bilibili will become the website with the greatest influence on the youth group," said Gu Lu.

"So..." Director Hu asked, "Can anyone register for the BI website? Can we register an official account at No. 8 Middle School to reserve a spot in advance? In this way, we can become a veteran in the future and help the school's image."

You are such a little—old smartass.

"I think it's okay." Gu Lu nodded.

"Okay, I'll ask my colleagues from the Party Propaganda Department to do it later." Director Hu said, "Xiao Gu, you are an outstanding student of our No. 8 Middle School, so the school will definitely support you in your work. And try to be more truthful. Our No. 8 Middle School can withstand criticism."

Try to be as truthful as possible. Gu Lu always feels that Director Hu has something else in his words.

"I'll tell the principal later," Director Hu said, "After hearing Xiao Gu's filming plan, it may become valuable educational material."

Stop praising me, it was just a video and you're making Gu Lu feel embarrassed by all the praise.

In short, the school’s authorization was obtained.

Gu Lu originally planned to take action in the afternoon, but he forgot that he was free in high school, but others were not so free. Even sports students had to study.

School in the afternoon.

“Hehe, don’t be so serious, it’s just a casual visit.” It was Gu Lu’s first time as an up-host and he had no experience.

Location: Community Office

To be more precise, it is the community office after being managed by Gu Lu.

Gu Lu put the storage cabinet and the large bookcase together, leaving an empty space on the left side of the door. Two chairs were placed in the empty space, with a painting of "King Guru" hung on the back.

Characters: Gu Lu and Zhou Lin
When interviewing classmates, both good and bad students were welcome, and the first person he thought of as the representative of good students was the academic genius Zhou Lin.

In addition, when a girl with super powers encounters the death of a loved one, doing something can also help her relieve her mood.

"Okay, I'm not nervous, and you don't have to be nervous either." Zhou Lin nodded, and was even a little excited facing the camera, but Gu Lu, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to have a little stiff legs.

"Why should I be nervous? I'm an interviewer. Did you remember the precautions I just told you?" Gu Lu asked.

Seeing the other party nod, Gu Lu cleared his throat and began recording in front of the camera, "Hello everyone, I am the new up master Guru King, welcome to watch "Student Interview"."

Gu Lu recorded the beginning four or five times just to get it right.

Before doing it: It’s so easy, isn’t it just chatting in front of the camera?
After doing it: It’s still a bit difficult.

Fortunately, Gu Lu had been interviewed by newspapers several times, and after a while he adjusted his mindset and adapted to the situation.

"Our program is to discuss and collect information about the difficulties that each student has encountered. If you can think of a solution, think of it. If you can't think of a solution, then trust the wisdom of future generations."

He can plagiarize the ideas of many well-known up-masters in later generations, which is definitely a dimensionality reduction attack.

But this is just a side job, so there is no need to be so utilitarian. Besides, Gu Lu wants to make some special video content that belongs to him.

Inspired by his cousin Mu Xue's research topic, he could go deeper and interview students about the problems they face. First, he is a student himself, so his information is more real than that of experts. Second, he has the resources and time.

After Gu Lu finished his opening remarks, he began to introduce the guests.

"This is our guest today, freshman student Zhou Lin. Please say hello to everyone."

"Hello everyone on Bilibili, I'm Zhou Lin, an ordinary high school student." Zhou Lin said generously.

Zhou Lin has a bit of a histrionic personality. The bigger the scene, the better his performance.

"First, tell me what you've been doing recently." Gu Lu wrote the interview process yesterday.

"We are facing the final exams, and the progress of the Tsinghua and Peking University classes is faster than that of ordinary classes, so they are definitely reviewing." Zhou Lin said, "We are also facing the division of liberal arts and science, and we have some academic pressure."

Do you have academic pressure? Gu Lu showed such a look.

"There are club activities. I am the president of the Model United Nations Club. The members are going to compete in the city finals, so the members of the Model United Nations Club are quite tense, and as the president, I am also quite busy."

There was no need for Gu Lu to adjust the atmosphere, Zhou Lin talked freely.

"The topic discussed in our club recently is [The fiscal deficit of Russia in 2012, how to reverse the country's weak economy?], has the upmaster done any research on this topic?" Zhou Lin addressed Gu Lu according to the precautions.

How could he be cowardly in front of his camera? He didn't understand, but in his previous life he liked to see others bragging. Gu Lu responded immediately, "Da Mao Country was born as an energy-based country. The whole country is still in a situation where it is difficult to turn around. One or two policies cannot change it. Moreover, it cannot form a complementary relationship with the surrounding Er Mao Country and San Mao Country. It is very difficult to reverse it."

A reliable Model United Nations is like No. 8 Middle School, which pays attention to news from various countries during its daily club activities.

For example, the topic of the competition that Gu Lu attended before was "Should sanctions be increased due to the launch of a satellite by Chaoxian?" At that time, Yucai Middle School drew the Chinese lottery, and No. 8 Middle School represented South Korea. In fact, on this topic, choosing Huaxia would have a huge loss. This is because the topic is directly related to South Korea and Chaoxian.

The topic is only indirectly related to America and China, so no matter how much information is collected, it will be difficult to stand out.

We should pay more attention to the affairs of other countries in our daily lives to avoid drawing a "bad lottery ticket" and being caught off guard by the stance of the country we represent.

"In addition, the United States uses NATO to stir up trouble behind the scenes. Maybe in a dozen years, the Great Mao Country and the Second Mao Country will go to war directly." Gu Lu changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this. We are not the current affairs zone up masters."

Zhou Lin responded, "up your views are so radical."

"No one can predict the world situation." Gu Lu said, "The next question is, how to balance the club and study?"

"Everyone has a different balance point. Let me ask you a question with more universal values," Zhou Lin said, "How to judge whether you are unable to cope with club activities and study."

"Please speak." Gu Lu asked.

Unconsciously, the initiative in the conversation was transferred to Zhou Lin.

"When you start to think about whether you should reduce your time in clubs, then your balance has been exceeded," Zhou Lin said. "When you feel this way, you should decisively choose to give up and focus on your studies."

"Club activities don't help with academics," Zhou Lin added. "Most people don't even think about it."

"Many of the things we do as students are meaningless." Gu Lu had the opposite opinion.

Zhou Lin shook her head. "Many people join clubs just to kill time. Those who think about balancing their time are serious students."

“The basketball club can help you strengthen your body, the dance club can help you practice your manners, the Model United Nations can help you broaden your horizons, and the geography club can help you learn geographical knowledge.”

"Take any member and tell us about it in detail. All members of the Model United Nations Club will not simply judge a foreign policy as good or bad. Through repeated practice, we know that the operation of a country is very complicated." Zhou Lin made a sharp turn, "But these benefits are not as important as studying."

"My participation in community activities is related to my future life plan," Zhou Lin said. "I won't do anything that is completely meaningless."

The words were firm and decisive.

Uh - Gu Lu stood up and turned off the camera. He reminded, "You are too radical. I still have some fans on my account. If I post it online, it will cause a lot of controversy."

"Let there be debates," Zhou Lin said. "I didn't ask others to share the same ideas as me. I just expressed my own views. I won't change my views just because others don't understand."

Yes, you can still be the girl with super powers who shouts “China will unify the world” and “sometimes Chinese people are too kind”.

Gu Lu turned on the camera and continued recording.

"What difficulties are you facing now?" Gu Lu continued the interview according to the process.

"The expectations of teachers and parents are too high," said Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin said, "They always think I can do better. But in fact, it is not easy to maintain the current results."

Expectations? The person in front of me always ranks first or second in monthly exams, midterm exams, final exams, and any exams with grade rankings.

What higher expectations could there be!
"So what's your solution?"

……

The interview lasted for more than 40 minutes, during which Gu Lu drank some water and made a minor mistake. Zhou Lin made a slip of the tongue, but it could be brushed aside lightly.

After enough footage was shot, Gu Lu lamented that if he didn't have the golden finger, it would be difficult for him to become friends with Zhou Lin.

Even though she has many habits like a poor student and is unreliable - her execution and planning for her own path are excellent.

There is no if, Gu Lu shook off the thoughts in his mind.

“Tell me when it’s uploaded and I’ll like it,” said Zhou Lin.

Gu Lu nodded, "Thank you for your hard work in recording today."

"It's mutually beneficial. Your video has become popular, and it will also help me personally to participate in the Model United Nations competition." Zhou Lin said.

Fire, probably not.

The content is not particularly novel, it is mainly for record keeping.

This is what Gu Lu judged in his heart, but he had to admit that his judgment was never very accurate...

On the other hand, after a busy day, Gu Lu felt that he really needed to learn from Tang Yuan. Tang Yuan said that it would take three days to finish the work, but it actually took only two days to hand over the yellow notebook to him.

If Tangyuan can finish something in more than an hour, he will say it will take two hours. On the contrary, Gu Lu may say "one hour". Once the time is exceeded, he will start to procrastinate.

"After reading the notebook and taking notes, your math score should be able to improve from 120 to around 130," said Li Guyuan. "A range of more than ten points is no problem."

"Reliable!" Gu Lu gave a thumbs up.

"When do we start accepting manuscripts?" Li Guyuan asked.

Doesn't it start next semester? Gu Lu hadn't even finished asking.

Li Guyuan said, "We need to come up with something for the next semester's enrollment announcement. At least the first issue of the magazine should be out. Guru, you're not planning to wait until then, are you?"

"Who said that..." Gu Lu denied it subconsciously, but after a pause, he said apologetically, "It's my fault. As the president, I didn't think it through. Our club should really publish the first issue first. I've already written the opening remarks and will give them to you later."

"Just wait." Li Guyuan was looking forward to it. He also asked, "What kind of article?"

"I'll send it to you later." said Gu Lu.

This week, I will give the notebook to the heroine first, and then look for a house.

Go home and write down the appropriate parts of "Youthful China" from memory.

He remembered most of it. In his previous life, in order to show off in front of girls, Gu Lu memorized articles such as "On the Qin Dynasty" and "On the Youth of China" - but he didn't succeed.

Up's side business has just begun, but Gu Lu's main business as an author is developing rapidly.

The work has become a flagship book for the Children's Publishing House.

According to Phoenix.com Culture Reading Report, “Sales of Flatland exceeded 60 copies, and Gu Lucheng sold elixir.”

[In the first half of 2013, the sales volume of books dropped by 16.5% year-on-year. There were no hits in the first half of the year for youth campus novels, which were popular in previous years.

Industry insiders have stated that this will be the most difficult year for the physical publishing industry.

However, Gu Lu's new work "Flatland" released in May has shown surprising popularity.

While opening up a new world for niche themes, it also shows the result of Gu Lu's transformation from "the work is more famous than the author" to a "star author". ]
More than 400,000 copies in one week, and over 600,000 copies in two weeks. The growth rate seems to have slowed down.

But in fact, it is an excellent achievement. Thanks to the group of people arguing on the Internet, the work has remained popular.

Some newspapers directly rated Gu Lu as "the first writer born after 90" and "a leading figure among emerging writers."

Wen has no first, Wu has no second.

When this was said, many authors were unhappy.

For example, Li Guangshu (pen name), a writer born after 1985 who became famous through the New Concept Writing Competition, was indignant.

Why can high school students become leading emerging writers?

He was born in the 80s, why can't he beat those born in the 90s?
"The person who can carry the heavy weight is probably King Wu of Qin."

"The sales of his The Little Prince have reached 700,000 or 800,000 in the country."

"There's nothing much to say about fairy tale novels. They're not serious long stories."

"His book Yesterday's Park has also sold 300,000 copies, making it the best-selling short story this year."

"So what? I'm a master at long-form writing."

"Including Flatland, he has two books with sales exceeding 50. No other writer born after the 90s can match him."

"Shut up! What else can you talk about except sales? You don't have the character of a writer at all!"

Li Guangshu was broken by what his friend said.

What made him even more upset was that his editor-in-chief sent out a message, "Guangshu, are you free tomorrow? Come with me to the Fog City."
