Chapter 375: Is it a real building?
Yes, why!
Wei Linluo is a famous curator in China. He has worked with many artists. Through face-to-face interviews and conversations, he has gained an in-depth understanding of the artists’ past. His own exhibitions have a bit of punk temperament, which is evident in his representative work “More, More, More”.
Why does Professor Ming think that he can benefit a lot from reading the articles written by a writer who is in his teens... oh, nineteen years old, just an adult?
Look, Wei Linluo, who had woken up in shock from his dream, had already turned on the computer and was looking up Gu Lu's information.
After further searching, I found the article that won the first prize of the Peiwen Cup in 2016. The title was "Subculture"?! Among the articles about drinking culture, food culture, tea culture, etc., it really attracted people's attention instantly.
But, is the topic so big?
There are many subcultures, such as punk, beatniks (literature), graffiti, rock, etc. Peiwen Cup essays are required to be within 5,000 words. With such a small number of words, you can write about such a grand theme? How audacious!
He began to look at—
"Ultimately, subculture is an offensive gesture. It is the noise made by the weak and an attempt to bring light back from the darkness of the underground."
"The birth of a subculture is 'I'd rather bleed than defend this stupid thing'"
"Daily life is so boring that I want to escape whenever I get the chance."
“The successive symbolic resistances of youth culture-style stone-cutting sites, are they resistance, or are they a reaffirmation of the values that have been abandoned by our parents?”
“Paintings are treasures…Jigsaw puzzles are worthless. They are culture, but are they art?”
……
It took Wei Lingluo half an hour to read several thousand words.
The conclusion gives a summary of the existence of subculture: resistance and contradiction find an outlet in subculture, which does not directly challenge hegemony, but expresses itself implicitly through style. When subculture becomes dissolution, it is just culture.
"Could it be that what Professor Ming said is true? Is Gu Lu a genius at writing essays?" Wei Linluo was very surprised. It's not that he can't write these things, but he can't explain subculture in such a high concentration.
It's like Gu Lu said that punk is a fusion of various apocalyptic apocalypses, but the sources of the apocalypses are opposite, and punk is an aesthetic that intentionally blasphemes the gods. Although he doesn't completely agree, it reveals that Gu Lu has a deep understanding of punk culture.
"You have learned too much. This young man has learned too much." Wei Linluo couldn't help but say, "You are a young literary man, but you don't know much about subculture..."
Before he finished speaking, Wei Lingluo convinced himself in his heart. It was because Gu Lu was a writer that he greedily absorbed all kinds of knowledge. That's why he could write such an article.
It was normal for Wei Linluo to be shocked.
This article is from "Subculture: The Meaning of Style", written by Dick Hebdige, a representative of the Birmingham School (this school is full of trolls, specializing in the study of cultural composition). It is the first work on Earth to systematically study subculture. The knowledge that Gu Lu collected before crossing over was indeed very diverse. Even though he had no interest in subculture, he still finished reading this book. I have forgotten most of the content, and this article is a splicing of the highlights of the book that I remember.
The reason why I wrote this article for Peiwen Cup is not to show off my skills, but because I couldn't find any other relevant articles. I wrote this article to surprise people and the chance of winning is even higher. In the end, Gu Lu made the right bet.
King Guru obviously has a cheat, but he is still overly cautious. After Gu Lu wrote this article "Subculture", he immediately watched videos and read books on the Internet. He had a certain degree of understanding of the content written in it, at least to the extent that he could brag about it when the lights were turned off in the boys' dormitory. In order to deal with someone talking about this article, but a few years later, no one has ever...
"Although I didn't feel I benefited from it, it is indeed a good article. There are almost no useless sentences in 5,000 words, and every paragraph expresses a point."
Wei Linluo was still stubborn. In fact, the descriptions of other aspects did give him some inspiration.
"It feels like this article is not finished?" Wei Linluo had this feeling.
Wei Linluo was very smart and thought that he could send an invitation letter to Gu Lu when he had his own exhibition, and then they would get to know each other, right?
A drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water - Wei Linluo also understood this. So in order to repay the inspiration given by this article, he thought about making friends to help promote Gu Lu's new work.
Didn't I hear that Gu Lu's new work in China is going to be published soon?
There is also fairness in the world. Even a famous curator is the same as ordinary people. No matter what happens, it will not affect the sun rising as usual.
Unfortunately, the sun in most cities was covered by thick dark clouds.
Even if there is no loud noise in space, "Hyouka" will be released in the dark. It will be broadcasted simultaneously on Tokyo MX and Bilibili.
Two episodes were updated at the beginning: Episode 1 was about the rebirth of a traditional publication company, and Episode 2 was about the activities of a publication company that was worth boasting about.
In order to increase popularity, Kyoto Animation directly turned the "Ancient Books Society" written by Gu Lu in the novel into a real publication society in No. 8 Middle School.
When "Earth Ice Cream" was first broadcast, it was not very popular because the plot was based on everyday reasoning and the plot was just being laid at the beginning and the charm of the characters was just being revealed.
But in the parallel world, the TV station started with the message "Want to know the past of the genius writer?" "Want to know the reason why genius is genius?" "The answers are all in the semi-autobiographical work Hyouka!"
Needless to say, you can probably guess that "The Devotion of Suspect X" has been popular in Japan for more than a month.
Hotter than the hot fried chicken, it's charcoal grilled chicken! Well, it doesn't seem to have become more intense, but that's the idea anyway, experience it with your heart.
Japan is the same as China, it became popular as soon as it was broadcast!
Domestic audience: "Kyoto Animation's detailed production and dubbing are simply works of art!" "Hyouka is the only work of Gu Lu that I haven't seen. It looks pretty good?" "Hahaha, the school feels so out of place. It clearly feels like a domestic university, but many of the customs inside are Japanese. It's weird." "This terrain looks like a foggy city. I suddenly feel a little embarrassed." "What's there to be ashamed of? It's also beautiful."...
The audience generally praised it, but a small number of people thought that Kyoto Animation's filming was strange.
In general, Douban scored above 8.5, and there is still room for improvement. The main reason is the rating on Bilibili itself - it has no reference value. The ratings of B station are basically above 8.5 points, and if a show is below on Bilibili... run!
Different from China, Japan's attention is elsewhere. First, the discussion is whether the genius writer Gu Lu is also an energy conservationist like Oreki in private? Someone also asked, since they are both from Fog City No. 8 Middle School, is there any connection with Kuroko Basketball?
Updated to the fourth episode, the popularity has seen a small explosion while steadily increasing.
At this time, the comment with the most likes on the Internet came from Nanako from Japan, an exchange student from Japan University of Technology and Yamaguchi University.
They actually launched a set of check-in posts with the title "Because I happened to be an exchange student in the foggy city and I like "Hyouka", I came to watch it."
[Oreki's home is based on Baihua Village in the ferry district. The name is so beautiful, although I didn't see any flowers. Just above the slope of Baihua Village is Oreki's address. I don't know who really lives there, but unlike the anime, there is no empty space or stone tablet opposite. In reality, is there an abandoned factory opposite? (Guome locked the door so I couldn't see it)] Nanako took a photo and made the classic scissors hand gesture.
[The Fog City is called the "Mountain City" because of the ups and downs and the endless stairs. The city itself is built in the mountains. Isn't it romantic? It seems that the city was built by foxes in the mountains. When I wake up every day, there is still thick fog. It is very mysterious.
Go up this staircase... Unfortunately, there is no sunshine today, so I can't reproduce the scene where Li Zhi and Yi Hua look up. Of course, for me who likes Oreki, what is more important is the milk tea shop about ten meters to the left after going up the stairs. It is the place where Oreki and the senior drink drinks, "Morning". I don't know the specific plot because this episode has not been broadcast yet, but it only appeared in the trailer. But the name of the tea room in real life is "Sister Li's Hand-made Lemons", which seems to sell lemonade? ]
Nana took many pictures on the stairs and while sitting in the milk tea shop.
Next is the place where Nanako herself checked in and was most satisfied.
[I don't know what this street is called. After walking for more than 20 minutes, we arrived at Suokou Hill. At this moment, we left Baihua Village. Going up this building, you can quickly walk up, otherwise it will take an extra half an hour. From the 1st floor to the 3rd floor, there is a road, and then up to the 5th floor is also a road. This building is the floor that OP Oreki walked up. Fan Lu stood on the 1st floor, Li Zhi stood on the 3rd floor, and Yihua stood on the 5th floor. Walking up to the 9th floor with classmates, we reached the top. I have always believed that this building was fictionalized by the animation team to show the youth scene of walking up together. Because how could there be four roads adjacent to each other on a floor? I didn't expect it to be real?! ]
This building is actually quite dilapidated in real life, but it is very beautiful and even a little magical in the animation.
But under the production of Kyoto Animation, the OP is absolutely beautiful.
Nanako is not just a name for nothing! She uses the right angles and filters, especially when put together with animation screenshots, it really looks like the real thing...
"Hyouka" is the second most popular new show on Bilibili, slightly behind Kaguya-sama. But in Neon, "Hyouka" has added Gu Lu buff, and its popularity has surpassed Kaguya-sama: Love is War, which is also a new show in July.
Sometimes, due to different national conditions, the wins and losses of the same two things can be reversed.
Nana's check-in post was not posted on a domestic website. She posted it on Bluebird, which had not yet turned into a black cross.
It has aroused the envy of many Japanese anime fans.
Distance creates beauty, and unfamiliarity creates a filter. Add to that the spiritual filter of anime and Nanako's realistic filter, and the effect is quite nice!
"It's amazing, there are actually buildings like this?" "A city built in the mountains is so romantic." "The ups and downs of the road are like a roller coaster, so cute." "Can you come up with a travel guide?" ...
The Dukou District, the poorest main urban area in the Fog City, doesn't know that wealth is about to come!
