Chapter 349: A Stunning Move
Director Zhao knew about it faster than Di Bo. After sending it to him, the proofreading staff informed him of it.
And he told me very tactfully, "Director, the two articles you requested are really wonderful, especially the second one. After I proofread it, tears welled up in my eyes."
Well, very good. Wait, what two articles? This is probably what Director Zhao thought.
"I also think Mr. Xiao Weian's suggestion is very useful." Director Zhao said that it is indeed difficult for foreigners to understand. Many people sang this song during the flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square and cried while singing.
"Good, China-France friendship will last forever."
"A discussion meeting on famous songs?"
“We need to have a good discussion about this.”
After drafting the details of the event, Director Zhao also sighed that the ambassador to China was really excited. Could it be the recent rumors? Is he going to be transferred back to France to serve as a senior cultural official? Although Dibo has been denying it, it is really credible.
Let me tell you a simple truth. Many Chinese people should know that the French national anthem is La Marseillaise, even if they have never heard it. But French people hardly know what the Chinese national anthem is. If you put "One Night Genius" and "The Great Wall" together, there will be more foreigners who know the origin of the Chinese national anthem. How can this not be considered cultural export?
"After a few years of silence, you come up with such a big surprise?" Director Zhao currently has three things on his mind. The first is the famous song discussion meeting, and the second is to find someone to translate "The New Great Wall" into French.
You should know that there has never been a confirmed translation of the French version of the March of the Volunteers. The English version was translated by the famous musician Mr. Li Baochen during the Anti-Japanese War to let foreigners see the determination of the Chinese nation to fight.
In other words, if the famous songs discussion meeting is to be held, translators are crucial.
Secondly, Director Zhao believes that "The New Great Wall" should first be published in domestic magazines and periodicals.
There are so many things to do, and it is precisely because of the second article that Director Zhao has become busy.
The content of the new Great Wall comes from the movie "National Anthem" which does not exist in this era. It tells the story of the birth of the March of the Volunteers. Gu Lu had seen it before he traveled through time. It was a gift from Xiaoxiang Film Group to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Of course, the content is from the movie, and the specific text structure and word choice are all imitated by Zweig. What can I say is that the teacher's worship was not in vain, and the reading of so many books is still useful.
In addition, "The New Great Wall" was written by Gu Lu after he finished copying the text of "One Night Genius" and saw the lyrics of "La Marseillaise", but he unconsciously thought of "March of the Volunteers". Therefore, he wrote this article very smoothly without any writer's block.
I stretched my body. I have been very busy for the past half month.
I haven’t felt so tired in a long time. After finishing my morning class, Gu Lu walked around the campus.
Gu Lu's eyes stayed on the basketball court. After all, he was a basketball expert who lived in a comic book, so should he show off his skills?
In a few months, Gu Lu will be able to evolve from a basketball expert who lives in comics to an expert who lives in anime.
The wind blows through my hair. Why does my hair become harder as I grow older? Whenever Gu Lu wakes up and doesn't comb his hair in front of the mirror, there will be hair on his head that sticks up in an unusual state. Sometimes it can't be pressed down even with water.
Soon, something louder than the wind appeared.
"Dad! Dad, wait for me." Jia Xu shouted loudly to his classmates of the same age.
"Stop, stop, stop. What do you want to do now, you rebellious son?" Gu Lu immediately stopped Jia Xu.
When Gu Lu entered the school, he lived in the school for two or three months while looking for an apartment. Because he didn't stay long and was well-known, it was difficult for his roommates to communicate calmly. Therefore, the only person he was familiar with was Jia Xu.
Jia Xu has a skill, which is that he is thick-skinned and completely unfazed by other people's gazes. It must be said that even Gu Lu is amazed by this skill.
"Love me again, Dad." Jia Xu's voice was not small at all.
"Let's just talk about the matter, keep it simple, and use a simple way of speaking." Gu Lu covered his face, "Don't call me dad outside."
"It's like this, dear brother. Our literary club is going to hold an event. Dear brother, do you have time to be a judge?" Jia Xu said.
Gu Lu shuddered at the two calls of "good brother", especially since the other party was deliberately speaking in a pretentious tone. Imagine the scene of Li Kui, the tough guy, calling him "good brother" in a coquettish voice, which is what Gu Lu is facing now.
"Pause the performance for a moment. I want to ask, what is the difference between our literature club and the May Fourth Literature Club?" Gu Lu asked. He seemed to know that Peking University had four literature-related clubs.
"Our literature club is definitely younger. This 'we' represents every student in the club, and every student can blossom." Jia Xu began to brag a lot, and his words also contained some flattery. The sentence pattern of "they are the May Fourth Literature Club xx, we are our Literature Club xx" is quite common.
In summary, the May Fourth Movement is more traditional and old-fashioned, while we are more trendy, like the sun rising at seven or eight o'clock.
There was nothing wrong with it. Gu Lu just felt that the name of the literature club sounded weird.
"What kind of event are you going to hold?" Gu Lu asked, "And why did you invite me? I mean, because I basically always refuse. No event has invited me for more than a year."
"Big Brother, what you said is wrong. There are no secrets in the Peking University circle." Jia Xu said, "The Imperial Army told us that you have returned to the political arena. I have to say that I think "Youth" is a very good name." Jia Xu did not tell the truth. He saw through the enemy's wolfish ambition. The May Fourth Society wanted to reprint "Youth"? What a joke. What is so great about Youth is not the name, but "Youth China".
"The imperial army you are talking about is not the May Fourth Literary Society." Gu Lu saw the other party nod, and it turned out that someone leaked the information.
To be more precise, it is not a leak, because the May Fourth Literary Society promoted it extensively on the Weiming BBS.
"Our activity is a call for submissions, and the first prize winner will receive a prize of three thousand!" said Jia Xu.
Unlike high school clubs, where the school gives out a sum of money for activities every semester, university clubs raise their own funds for activities, one from membership fees and the other from sponsorship. Gu Lu knows that the membership fee for the May Fourth Literature Club is 40 yuan, and the membership fee for the Animation Club is 25 yuan.
Three thousand yuan plus the bonus later, this activity costs no less than half a tooth (5000).
It’s a pretty big deal, Gu Lu is thinking about something.
"Godfather, our happiness depends on you." Jia Xu changed the name three times in just over ten minutes. He had so many different ways of addressing people.
"I'm not a member of the club, so it's not appropriate for me to be a judge." Gu Lu still shook his head.
"Suitable, of course!" Jia Xu explained immediately, "Our plan is to have four judges, two from the club and one from the teacher. The remaining position must belong to you, godfather!"
If the prize money is attractive to Peking University students at 50 points, then Gu Lu’s attractiveness as a judge is 100 points!
After all, there are quite a few Peking University students who have published books, but the only one who can have the word "big" added before the word "writer" is Gu Lu.
"Half of the judges are from the club, and half are from outside the club. It's fair enough," said Gu Lu.
"That's right. Our literature club only does three things when we organize activities: fairness, fairness, and fairness." Jia Xu is really good at the postgraduate entrance examination, so he keeps talking nonsense.
In the past, Gu Lu had always wanted to create a "daydreaming club" and set aside time every day to daydream.
After all, college students are very boring creatures. There are all kinds of weird clubs, such as the "Kua Kua" club that specializes in praising others, and the "Wake-up Club" that cures those who have difficulty waking up. Of course, Tsinghua's Singles Club must also have a name.
Later, the plan was shelved, and Gu Lu asked if the activity would delay his time. If he had to grade too many manuscripts, Gu Lu would not have so much time.
"No, no, our event has preliminary and semi-finals. You don't need to bother my dear brother with the preliminary round." Jia Xu knew that he was a little worried, and immediately stated, "No more than 20 articles will be selected for the semi-final, so it will definitely not take up too much time."
First place (1 article), second place (3 articles), third place (6 articles), Excellence Award (10 articles), just articles, it will not exceed. One more thing, the Excellence Award is the autographed photo of the president?
But when Gu Lu saw the prize, his mind was full of question marks.
The president of our literature club is a classmate who is about the same size as Jia Xu.
…………
"Kyogoku-santa - you care too much about the interests of the Rokukai." Ito Junji took a deep breath.
"What do you mean? Doesn't Kyogoku Natsuhiko allow us to send messages to promote Teacher Gu Lu?!" Look, Kobayashi Taizo even calls him the president.
The Gu Lu Translation Association is also located in Roppongi, Minato, next to the Chinese Embassy in Japan. The Six Associations has gradually changed from a media abbreviation to a name given by the members themselves.
The author of Flowers for Algernon, Taizo Kobayashi, made his debut with Toy Repairman and reached the peak with The Drunken Man last year. He is now called one of the three great hard science fiction writers in Japan.
"Of course not. I wanted to draw Katsutane Maru and that damned editor Tsuge in the comics, but Kyogoku-san stopped me! He said something like... it would have a bad influence." Ito Junji was indignant. He assured me that with his comic skills, he could use a hundred ways to discredit these two people.
It’s just like Teacher Gu Lu’s legendary “experience” in the UK.
"Ahem..." A voice of speechless air surged from his chest to his throat, tickling his throat. Kobayashi Taizo coughed twice. That was indeed unnecessary. He agreed with the president's opinion on this. There was no doubt that among the six associations, Ito was Gu Lu's biggest fan!
"The main thing is that the returning protagonist this time is Teacher Gu Lu, and there is really no need for us to steal the limelight." Kobayashi Taizo tried to convince the other party in a different way.
That makes sense, Junji Ito nodded, with a hint of regret in his heart. He is indeed a die-hard fan of Gu Lu, so he hopes to pay tribute to or reproduce the legend of Gu Lu. Do you know the current development of the Cthulhu series in the UK?
The scene was filled with the roar of gongs and drums, the blast of firecrackers, and...
Well, rather than defending the idol's emotions, he also wanted to be lawless. But did this brother forget one thing? Gu Lu went abroad to make trouble.
"Have we, the Sixth Association, finalized the plan to help promote it?" Kobayashi Taizo changed the subject. After all, it was the president and vice president (Junji Ito) who finalized it.
"It's confirmed. Baitongshe has confirmed the release date, which is June 6!" Ito Junji said, "I heard it's a mystery story, a mystery story that takes the scam to the extreme."
Writing to the extreme? Kobayashi Taishan immediately thought of the four great mystery books, "Hell of the Brain" and "Offering to Nothingness", etc. How do they compare?
"I think Mr. Gu Lu has written a detective short story." Kobayashi Taizo said, "I remember there was a detective with a very outstanding personality named..."
"Wu Mingzhi, his Japanese name is Akechi Kogoro." Ito Junji answered immediately, "Besides, Mr. Holmes is also a wonderful work, but the focus is not on tricks."
"In fact, I am more looking forward to science fiction. Mr. Gu Lu has done an excellent job in both science fiction short stories and science fiction novels." Kobayashi Taizo added with a strong desire to survive, "Of course, I am also looking forward to mystery themes!"
