Chapter 358 Killing a chicken with a Changhong sword? ( words)

"Don't be fooled by my appearance of being mature and steady. I have the maturity and stability of the 80s, the knowledge of the 70s, and the hard work of the 60s. But I am a true 90s."

Dog brother spoke in a mean voice, and the inexplicable contrast was a bit hilarious.

"What is the impression of geniuses among those born in the 1990s? When I was in elementary school, my general impression of genius was Jiang Liuer. Later, I don't know when it became Gu Lu!"

"I started winning essay competitions in primary school, and even won first place in the Ye Shengtao Cup in junior high school. By the third year of junior high school, I was already a contracted writer for several magazines."

"In his first year of high school, he published The Little Prince, and in his second year of high school, he published Young China. During that time, he also wrote the fan fiction Mr. Holmes and the semi-autobiographical novel Hyouka. In his third year of high school, he was admitted to Peking University through the Beijing Pei Cup. His name was all over the news at the time. To be honest, when I heard other people talk about this as a child, I always treated it as a story. It's like hearing how old Mozart was when he could compose music. I feel like I'm not on the same level as him."

The up master launched a vote here: [1. Another dimension][2. Leading by one layer][3. Obtuse angle]. The vast majority of netizens chose obtuse angle, but no netizens opposed the first two options. This shows that Gu Lu’s reputation in junior high and high school was so famous that it was popular among students.

"Later, there was no news about Gu Lu anymore. And then, more and more people started saying that their talents were comparable to Gu Lu's."

The articles written by Gou Ge are average, and the accompanying videos are okay, but he likes to force sublimation in the second half of the video, which has always been criticized in the past.

He himself rarely appears on camera. The pictures in this video are the book jackets of many fairy tales, which are very exaggerated propaganda. In fact, most of them are Guo Dafa's tricks.

Netizens didn’t know that kind-hearted B-friends began to make friendly comments: “Are these just rotten fish and shrimp?” “They beat Gu Lu?” “Mocked the gods who came down the mountain?” and so on.

The first half of the episode is about Xiaotian who studied in Japan, which helps netizens reminisce and directly skips Gu Lu’s great achievements.

Straight to the main course.

"Please don't be sad for the death of a genius. Things change over time. Don't look down on young people who are poor! According to the latest information I got from Neon, Gu Lu's new work "The Devotion of Suspect X" was released in Neon a few days ago, and sales exceeded one million copies in the first week. To be precise, it broke through on the fifth day, becoming the sales champion in the past twenty years. (As of the date of the video release, the sales on the sixth day were reported to be 126 million copies)."

Then, Gogo relayed a comment from Xiaosen, an intern editor at Baitongshe, with his face blurred and his voice changed: "Teacher Gu Lu's new work is completely aimed at the national character of Japan. The evidence is that it is a Japanese translation from Chinese, but it was first published in Japan. At the same time, he used the protagonist Daruma Ishigami to express: I just don't want to write. As long as I want to, I can commit a 'world-class crime' at any time."

The video includes Neon’s sales reports and reviews from many websites.

Yahoo News: He really took the scam to the extreme!
Yomiuri Shimbun: The last book that sparked national discussion was "Shooting a Bullet at the Sun."

Asagiri Kafka, the author of Bungo Stray Dogs, commented: The outcome between Katsudane Maru and Gu Lu-sensei has always been very clear, but many people are unwilling to believe it.

Gogo studied abroad in Japan and his Japanese is very good, so he also thoughtfully translated the Japanese into Chinese. The Yomiuri Shimbun is a bit weird, and locals can tell at a glance that the reason why "Shooting a Bullet at the Sun" has caused national discussion is the criticism of the work being selected as a must-read book.

The discussion among netizens is divided into two parts:

The first part is a follow-up question: "So when will it be released in China?" "Your emperor of Shurima is back!" "Such high sales are absolutely rare nowadays. This kid is so terrifying." "Don't flatter me. The domestic book market is too chaotic. Well-written books don't necessarily sell well. It seems that "The Little Prince" has always been on the sales list, but there is no such book in Algernon." "Indeed, choosing Japan for Gu Lu's return should also be a strategy. In case he fails in China..."

The second part is completely off track, their focus is very magical.

[Is Bing Guo Gu Lu’s autobiography?]

[No way, there are really no readers who don’t know this? In Hyouka, the Classics Club is the Publications Club. Students who studied in No. 8 Middle School all know that the Publications Club’s nickname is the “Classics Club”. In addition, the students in the play all have prototypes!]

[Really? I worked hard to get into No. 8 Middle School this year, please don’t lie to me.]
[It must be true. Last year, the copyright of Hyouka was sold to Kyoto Animation, which is going to make it into an animation. The production team even came to No. 8 Middle School to inspect it, striving to restore the original school while drawing in line with the company's aesthetics. Moreover, the characters and events in the novel seem to have prototypes. It seems to be this year's July anime.]
Wait for discussion.

Kyoto Animation has a very good reputation in China and is known as the original work crusher. This is also the first time that it has purchased a domestic novel for production, and many netizens are looking forward to it.

Zhao Mingming is one of the netizens. While discussing the prototype of Bingguo, she was also arguing with others using the nine keys.

My boyfriend, who is in his fifth year of high school, was amazed. Mingming was the fastest typist on the nine-keyboard he had ever seen. It is no exaggeration to say that even the afterimages of her fingers were left.

[Capsize? Which of Gu Lu's books has ever capsized? I'm asking you, don't pretend to be a reasonable person.]
send!
"This is such a joke, Gu Lu's new book will flop? Do they have no childhood?!" Zhao Mingming won the argument with her absolute hand speed, but she was still unhappy inside.

"Not really. Why are you so excited? Even if Gu Lu's new book does well, it has nothing to do with us." Dawu's nickname comes from his temper. It is said that he is as emotionally stable as the fifth girl and never acts like a troublemaker.

"It does matter!" Zhao Mingming said, "You haven't met Gu Lu so you don't know. I have. The first time I saw him, I had a strong feeling that he didn't look like a high school student, but more like an adult. Geniuses are so different!"

"Do you also think that Gu Lu's new book will flop if it is published in China?" Zhao Mingming's eyes fell on Da Wu.

Da Wu's will to survive was very strong. "Of course not. I am also an absolute fan of Gu Lu."

Seeing his girlfriend nod in satisfaction, Da Wu continued, "However, nothing in the world is 100% certain. With the current terrible domestic book market, no one can be sure of accidents, right?"

"This accident has nothing to do with Gu Lu's writing skills," Da Wu said. "You absolutely believe that Gu Lu can succeed, which actually cuts off his retreat route to failure. The pressure is very great. It would be a miracle if he succeeded in Neon after returning four or five years, but if he failed in the domestic market, we should also understand."

"Impossible, Gu Lu will not fail." Zhao Mingming was quite firm.

Okay, Dawu feels like all the words he said were in vain.

"If you don't believe it..." Zhao Mingming suddenly said, "then let's make a bet."

"What bet?"

"If the next book published in China fails, you win. If you win, we'll get married next year as you said." Zhao Mingming raised two fingers, "If I win, I'll wait another two years."

The two have been in a long-term relationship for four years - medium-term is more appropriate. But Zhao Mingming still seems to have not grown up. She is already over 30, but she has not married yet.

"Marriage cannot be used as a ..."

Before Dawu could finish his words, Zhao Mingming interrupted him, "Just tell me whether you want to bet or not."

The curve of his mouth was more bitter than coptis chinensis, and Da Wu understood the implication even more. His girlfriend was very confident in the talent of the writer Gu Lu. In other words, betting on this matter proved that she didn't want to get married.

"Then don't cry if you lose." Dawu calmed down and said this.

There are differences in the values ​​of Japan and China. The success of the former does not necessarily mean the success of the latter.

I haven't been out for a few years. If I don't practice writing, I will regress.

Before making the bet with his girlfriend, Da Wu believed that 80% of Gu Lu's domestic works would be successful. Now, after thinking about it, only 50% is left.

The young couple's bet does not affect the spread of the Internet. Marketing accounts, Weibo celebrities, and Douyin influencers often come to Bilibili to "import news."

So soon, the news of Gu Lu's successful return to Neon spread across the Internet.

Last time I appeared in people’s eyes through prophecy, but that had nothing to do with my job. This time it’s with my identity as a writer. The discussion area of ​​​​Bilibili is a microcosm of Internet speech, so I won’t go into details.

All I can say is that comments on Weibo are more free (nan), there are more rumors on Douyin, and the overall traffic on Tieba is a bit cold.

"He was so capricious in stopping writing and he was so capricious in returning to writing. Sometimes I really envy him," President Wang sighed.

President Wang has been promoted from deputy to full-time at the New Youth Publishing House. He also no longer holds a concurrent position in the Youth League and is currently the head of the Heilongjiang Province Press and Publication Department. Those who have been officials... No, those who often dream of being officials should know that the Youth League is one of the fastest-growing units.

"It's a pity that the old fox got there first." President Wang sighed. He and Gu Lu had a good relationship in the past few years, even though he hadn't released any new works. But President Jian was even more extreme, inviting Gu Lu to his home every holiday.

He wanted to do so, but he didn't have the regional advantage.

"What kind of science fiction work would be the spiritual sequel to Flowers for Algernon?" President Wang was itching to try it out.

I have two reasons for wanting to see it in advance. First, I want to see it in advance. Second, Algernon set a sales record five years ago and is Gu Lu's second best-selling work (surpassed by The Little Prince in 2018). As long as the sequel is well managed, sales will definitely be no problem.
Unfortunately, the work has been published by Modu Publishing House.

"The suspect has given a shot in the arm to Japan's sluggish book market. Can he give the domestic market a shot in the arm as well?" As soon as President Wang finished speaking, he realized that he was forcing someone to do something out of his control.

Japan is called a "physical island" because of the lagging development of the Internet, so there is still a market for records, comics, CDs, and books. China is a physical desert.

Can we exchange resources? President Wang thought. The current publishing companies are too unkind. They just push forward the books regardless of whether they are good or bad. This includes but is not limited to New Classics, Motie, and Boji Tianjuan.

Da Bing and Zhang Jiajia, who can perform the art of clones, are the achievements of Bo Ji Tian Juan. The genius on the left and the madman on the right are the achievements of Mo Tie. As for the new classics, Haruki Murakami is recommended to win the Nobel Prize in Literature every year.

This is advice from President Wang. Please be careful when purchasing these three brands.

.........

It's another Wednesday. What a good day! After being cloudy for several days, the sun of social phobia finally came out to work.

Fog is feared by the sun, and heavy humidity is even more feared by the sun.

"Teacher, we haven't heard you tell the story of identifying talents in the 2013 season for a week." said a student from the literature club.

A member nearby started to make a noise, "Yeah, I'm really not used to it."

Wu Du has been a guidance teacher at No. 8 Middle School for several years. As he is getting older, his personality has become more relaxed and he gets along well with his classmates.

"Ahem, stop joking. The story of identifying talent with discerning eyes has been told many times, and I don't like to repeat it over and over again." Wu Du changed the subject, "But - do you know why the full name of the literature club is Shuren Park Literature Club?"

This was not known, and the students began to guess: "Because there was a Lu Xun park a few years ago", "I always thought the name of our literature club was weird", "Teacher Wu, please stop keeping us in suspense", etc.

"Shu Ren has nothing to do with Lu Xun's name, because our school was originally called Shu Ren Middle School. And the name of the park was taken from our literary club's first original stage play, "Yesterday's Park." It was adapted from Teacher Gu Lu's novel and achieved great success at the school anniversary." Wu Du said.

Everyone knows that the literature club of No. 8 Middle School actually does the work of the drama club, and the real creative works go to the Youth Magazine Club. The students suddenly realized that there is such a thing.

Yesterday's Park was the club's signature phrase, and every member had to memorize it by heart. "Shuren Park Literary Club" was just not connected for a while, after all, Gu Lu had never joined a literary club.

"And me!" Here comes the key point, Wu Du continued, "The script of Yesterday's Park was also polished by me!"

Oh! The teacher is amazing, Teacher Wu Du is so talented that he can even polish Gu Lu's manuscript! Wait, everyone is talking at the same time, and it's hard to tell where they are coming from.

Wu Du was not bragging, it was indeed he who changed the format of the novel into a script.

"Keep a low profile, think back to the past..."

While he was speaking, the school loudspeaker sounded and the activity room became much quieter.

Wudu No. 8 Middle School currently has five campuses, but the Xiaolongkan campus in Sha District is still the most valued. Even though the facilities of the Yubei campus are better and the teaching staff is not inferior, the priority of the headquarters is far ahead!
Yesterday I went to see the rehabilitation center - it was demolished, and had a hot pot meal that Teacher Li treated me to. Today Gu Lu was invited to the headquarters of No. 8 Middle School.

only……

"Principal Hu, are you lost?" Gu Lu found that he had walked around the school for a circle and a half.

Although the main campus has been renovated twice, the overall layout has changed a lot. For example, the abandoned flower bed (also known as the autism flower bed) that students used to go to when they were unhappy has been demolished and dug down more than ten meters to the level with the road outside, and a new teaching building has been built.

But the overall scope has not changed!

"I'm mainly thinking about whether to take you, Xiao Gu, to the publication office first, or to the cafeteria first, or somewhere else." Principal Hu has grown older, but unfortunately his eyes have not grown up, and they are still half open.

"Student Gu, you can just call me Director Hu. It's more intimate and just like when we were in school." Principal Hu said, changing the subject.

"No problem, Director Hu, why don't we go see Teacher Gao first?" said Gu Lu.

"Unfortunately, Teacher Gao went to study in Sijiu City - Lao Lin, how did you know that classmate Xiao Gu came back to visit our No. 8 Middle School? Come on, you may not be familiar with him, but he is one of the best graduates of our school..." Principal Hu was halfway through his speech when he suddenly turned to the vice-principal who was passing by.

This is one of the things that Principal Hu didn’t want to add.

"Teacher Gu Lu, oh, I've heard a lot about your name." Vice Principal Lin said hurriedly.

This was not the first time. During the one and a half rounds, Gu Lu had already made similar calls seven or eight times, and he was already familiar with it. It was obvious that the personalities of Teacher Li and Principal Hu were that the former was not so fond of showing off.

"Okay, Principal Lin, go and do your work. Xiao Gu and I will not disturb you anymore." Principal Hu said.

Vice Principal Lin: “?”

Finally, Principal Hu led Gu Lu to the cafeteria and stopped wandering around.

"Teacher Gao is an excellent teacher in our school. In addition, Teacher Gao personally..." Principal Hu spoke of her personal situation in a lower voice because it involved the teacher's private affairs. Teacher Gao divorced her husband, and according to the child's wishes, the man raised the child.

So Teacher Gao was in a very depressed mood, and his teaching career was also affected by his family.

It is difficult for people to be perfect in both roles, and Teacher Gao is a very good class teacher. Although he is stern and is nicknamed "Iceberg" by his classmates, he cares about the academic and life of more than 90% of his classmates in private. Gu Lu still remembers that when he was in the first year of high school, he spent the New Year alone, and it was Teacher Gao who knocked on his door with two thermos buckets.

However, this example also shows that Teacher Gao values ​​his students too much.

Think about it, on the night of New Year's Eve, instead of staying at home with your family, you come to care about your students. Teacher Gao pays too little attention to his family...

There were some sporadic effects, and Gu Lu seemed to have heard Teacher Gao arguing with her husband on the phone.

Fortunately, because of Gu Lu's existence, the school would definitely not give up on Teacher Gao. They even arranged for Teacher Gao to go to Sijiu City for study. Principal Hu also planned to let Teacher Gao return to work in the administrative position.

"Student Gu, your red supervision card is still circulating, and the student supervision team will come for spot checks at any time," said Principal Hu.

We have arrived at the cafeteria.

"But now the red card supervision is just a formality." Principal Hu pointed to the front, "It is no longer needed."

Gu Lu looked around and saw that all the canteen kitchens were transparent, just like the kitchens at Haidilao. The side dishes and cooking were all done in front of the students.

"Several canteens are contracted, but they must agree to cooperate with the school's transparency. Our canteen has been rated as a model canteen by the education department of Fog City many times. Transparency is also a goal for the whole city to learn from." Principal Hu is proud that this is what he promoted. It is a very good political achievement and worth being proud of.

"Director Hu's arrangement is great." Gu Lu gave a thumbs up. Thinking of the rat head incident later, the Eighth Middle School even let people see how they processed the food, which was far ahead.

After a tour, when leaving, Principal Hu said, "Student Gu, don't you know me? This is definitely not something I did on the spur of the moment, so don't worry."

"Now that we're here, would you like to give a speech to the classmates, Gu Lu?" Principal Hu revealed his true intentions.

Give a speech? Gu Lu thought about it and nodded.

As it seemed, Principal Hu went to the broadcasting room immediately. The former wanted to use the broadcasting to call all the students to the playground, just like the flag-raising ceremony. However, Gu Lu refused, thinking that the effect would be almost the same if he said a few words in the broadcasting room.

When I was in school, I felt so majestic standing on the stage, a real man should be like this! But now Gu Lu felt that the students watching below were having a hard time waiting.

Stop fussing.

"Hello? Can you hear me? Hello, teachers and students from the whole school. I am Hu Santong, the principal of No. 8 Middle School. Today, Mr. Gu Lu, an outstanding graduate of No. 8 Middle School, has returned to school, so I would like to invite Mr. Gu to say a few words to us." Principal Hu spoke first, explained the situation, and then gave his seat to the person next to him.

The legend of Gu Lu is everywhere in No. 8 Middle School. It is almost as if he has been framed in the corridor along with other celebrities such as Hua Luogeng and Einstein. A hundred years later, the famous quotes will definitely be hung to wake up the students.

So when they heard it was Gu Lu, the students seemed to press the still key.

"Hello classmates and teachers, I am Gu Lu who graduated from No. 8 Middle School." This was not the first time Gu Lu came to the broadcasting room, so he was not nervous.

Even after so many years, Gu Lu still has a deep memory of his two speeches on two APPs.

He Bing's "The Next Wave" and Dongyongguaige's "Power".

The result is that the former is ridiculed by the crowd and young people don't buy it. Yes, for those who go out to work hard, "Hou Lang" is too chicken soup and unrealistic, and "power" is closer to ordinary people. Gu Lu personally holds this view.

But in high school - the younger generation is better.

Gu Lu didn't say that he used the Dragon Slaying Sword to kill the chicken, but he also used the Changhong Sword.

"I saw a lot of similar adjectives on the forum, such as the broken 90s and the spoiled 00s."

“Those who keep saying that each generation is inferior to the previous one should be watching you.”

"They should be looking at you and us with envy. Humanity has accumulated wealth for thousands of years.

All the knowledge, insights, wisdom and art are like gifts specially prepared for us..."

The opening chapter attracts students' attention because it is a map cannon.

The post-2000s generation includes all the students in No. 8 Middle School...

A day later, Gu Lu left Fog City. He did not notice at all that the speech of “Hou Lang” was being noticed by some interested persons (reporters of Fog City Daily).

After resolving the issues in Fog City, Gu Lu went to see Li's mother and father before leaving, and then returned to Sijiu City.

The next day, someone came to visit, a middle-aged man with a strange identity.

"Adopting a panda means that I can take this panda home?" Gu Lu saw the person in front of him and his eyes showed surprise.

"Ahem..." Deputy Director Qin of the Chengdu Giant Panda Center hurriedly explained, "Raising pandas is very difficult. Zoos all over the country need technical support from the Chengdu Giant Panda Center. It is even more difficult to do it privately."

The excitement on Gu Lu's face faded, and he asked, "Then Director Tan, what does adoption mean?"

"You can adopt a newborn panda baby and give it a name. You can come to our park to visit it at any time," said Deputy Director Qin. "We will also send you the baby panda's growth process every month. If you want to interact with it, you can ask the staff to do it for you."

"Oh! Raising pandas in the cloud." Gu Lu concluded.

"Yes, that's right, that's what I mean!" Deputy Principal Qin nodded, "Teacher Gu's summary is very appropriate."

"That's great too. How many pandas can we choose from now?" Gu Lu asked.

Select the baby panda.

On the other hand, "One Night Genius" and "The Great Wall" also began to gain momentum.

The anniversary of the storming of the Bastille is July 14, but the celebrations started earlier. Otherwise, France is one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, and there must be many countries offering congratulations on the same day... Don't expect Paris to be so organized.
