Chapter 425 Question 3
Chapter 425 Three Questions
You know what, you really know what, when Guo Dafa looked at the design drawings, the shape of the thrusters and the frozen city were really good.
The storyboard drawings reveal professionalism.
"Mr. Guo, we are almost done finding investors," said Guo Fan. "At the premiere of 'Maintaining God,' we implicitly expressed that we hope to make a science fiction movie with better special effects. Rather than using the film pay to hire stars, I think what Mr. Guo said makes sense. I also want to cooperate with a company that has aspirations."
The words are fiery.
The eyes contain sincerity.
The script is very professional.
And he visited me three times and never gave up!
Anyway, the future series of The Four Famous Detectives will also need to develop word-of-mouth. If it is suitable this time, we can practice first, Guo Dafa thought. Of course, big investments must be discussed with Mr. Gu.
"Director Guo, I saw that the movie you filmed before, "You Are the One Sitting Next to Me," was a youth film." Guo Dafa checked the other party's resume.
"'The Adventures of Li Xianji' is a science fiction film. Shooting a heavy industrial science fiction film belonging to China has always been what I pursued," said Guo Fan.
It was a very common sentence. If someone else said it, Guo Dafa would have sneered in his heart and ignored it. But the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in front of him made him very excited.
"How much investment is needed at the moment?" Mr. Guo thought to himself that a few million would be acceptable.
As the person in charge of Gu Lu Copyright Development Company, Guo Dafa has the right to make decisions on investments within 300- million yuan, just like a website editor has the right to make decisions on articles within words per words.
"The more science fiction films, the better. Mr. Guo, we still have 3 million yuan left." Guo Fan spoke very naturally, "and we have close contacts with China Film Group and Jingxi Culture. Both companies have very strong investment intentions."
What the hell? Investing 300 million? Guo Dafa's brain was slightly out of order.
Flatland Culture Company has one foot in the entertainment industry, and its estimated net profit is tens of millions based on copyright income. Guo Fan does not know the specific data because Flatland is not listed. However, The Little Prince was selected as one of the top 10 IPs with the highest peripheral value in the world by Hurun, including Pokémon, Harry Potter, Twilight, Doraemon, etc.
Guo Fan knew that this report must have the suspicion of being forced by Ping Guo Company, but it was indeed making a fortune in silence. If you want to invest, a small goal should be no problem. In business, quoting a high price will give you room for negotiation.
……
Time: 9:30am
Location: Dental clinic next to No. 8 Middle School
Characters: Gu Lu, Zhou Lin, and stranger fellow villagers who come and go.
Gu Lu hung up the phone and crossed his fingers.
"Once you get old, you really get old," he said with emotion. "Two packages arrived, one of which was old furniture."
"Is the other one also old furniture?" Zhou Lin replied from the side.
In order to try to synthesize a masterpiece of sad literature, Gu Lu bought a lot of things on the second-hand trading app. Because the shipping was not free, the shipping process was complicated. After a delay of two or three days, Gu Lu put the matter behind him.
"Pursuing retro?" Zhou Lin asked casually.
"Not really. I'm just trying to accumulate inspiration for my new novel." Gu Lu glanced at his phone. It was time for the appointment.
The two walked side by side towards the school gate.
I don’t know if it’s my memory that’s worn out, or the school gate that’s worn out, Zhou Lin murmured.
The Hongyan Spirit statue on the left and the stone steps on the right are even more broken. After so many years, the dirty garbage objects have not been replaced.
This girl with super strength, who was in the Qingbei class in high school, still couldn't change her habit of eating snacks in class. Unlike junior high school teachers who would turn a blind eye to good students, Zhou Lin was punished to do off-campus cleaning, so she had a deep impression of the trash can on the right side of the gate.
Having just returned to his alma mater not long ago, Gu Lu's feeling of "reminiscing about time" had worn off, so he contacted the contact teacher as usual.
"Welcome Mr. Gu Lu and student Zhou Lin to come back to visit our alma mater. Both of you are top students from Peking University."
The person in charge of the reception at No. 8 Middle School this time is Director Shang, who used to be Director Hu. In the first half of the year, when Gu Lu came back to school to apply for a scholarship, this teacher was the one who received him throughout the whole process.
"Principal Hu originally wanted to come to the school to accompany the two outstanding graduates," said Director Shang, "but he was too busy. He was in Jiangsu Province, attending a meeting."
Gu Lu nodded, because Principal Hu called to express his apology. The principal went to Jiangsu Province and Jinling, the capital of Anhui Province, to explain "extracurricular club activities".
In fact, the educational resources in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are much more developed, and the extracurricular club activities are much more complete than those in the three southwestern provinces and one city. But the three southwestern provinces and one city have an Eighth Middle School...
"Our school is currently expanding. We plan to flatten the mountain behind us and build a teaching building." Director Shang seemed to be reporting to his superiors, describing the school's development ideas.
"Oh, right, this is the place. The small garden has been rebuilt and a better one has been built. That's why the time capsule of Class 10 was dug out..." While Director Shang was speaking, he saw a construction worker operating in violation of regulations.
Spicy next door! You do this to me in front of Gu Lu, don't you want me to make progress?
"Sorry, I have something to explain." Director Shang said this to Gu Lu, and then hurriedly walked towards the construction site which was previously a small garden and is now surrounded by a fence.
Looking in that direction, he saw that they were not wearing helmets and that there were some illegal operations, so it was indeed dangerous. Gu Lu sighed, saying that being a director means one has to keep an eye on all directions and have good hearing.
"Gulu, does our school's admissions director have a tradition of..." Zhou Lin's subsequent words were so soft that King Guru couldn't hear them clearly.
"what?"
"I mean, does the admissions director of No. 8 Middle School have to have small eyes?" Zhou Lin repeated, raising her voice a little. "I thought Director Hu was already an expert, but I didn't expect Director Shang to be so confused with his eyes open and closed."
Gu Lu thought about it and said, "Maybe it's just a coincidence? But once I accept your setting, my attention will probably be on my eyes."
Zhou Lin did not continue the conversation and said, "Our No. 8 Middle School has expanded a lot since we were in school, and can enroll more students."
"I heard from many people that No. 211 Middle School has been surpassed by Bashu, and the admission rate to 985 and universities is already second?" Gu Lu said, "I don't quite understand this statistic. Can recruiting more students help us get back the first place?"
The conversation between the two was interrupted by a male voice.
"Do you know that this is very dangerous? Our school's first priority is safety, and the quality of your workmanship comes second!"
"If something happens to you, what will happen to your family and children? In such a short time?"
Director Shang spoke loudly and righteously.
The construction workers dared not express their inner feelings. Nothing had happened in all these years, but now something happened? Too much control! The important thing is to finish the work and settle the bill as soon as possible.
Your tone is disgusting. Who is the leader who came to inspect again? The construction worker looked back, huh? Two young people? Are you sick?
"Director Shang, we were too anxious today. We will pay more attention next time. Sorry." The construction worker apologized and handed over a cigarette, which he took out from his inner pocket. He put the cigarettes he smoked and the ones he gave to his co-workers in his trouser pockets.
"Don't smoke in school. If you want to smoke, wait until you finish your work before going outside." Director Shang said. He turned his head and looked at Gu Lu, who nodded at him. Okay, this is the effect we want.
Then Director Shang led the way to the teacher's office.
I can’t finish it, I can’t finish it at all!
Principal Chang, the predecessor of Principal Hu, was promoted because of Gu Lu. And Principal Hu will soon be promoted, and it will be implemented this year. And Director Shang feels that he has become the vice-principal and the principal, and he can still enjoy the spiritual legacy of the outstanding graduate Gu Lu!
One student carried away three principals! Does this seem a little wrong? Director Shang scratched his forehead. There was a red bump on his forehead. It was normal to itch.
Opening the drawer, Director Shang took out a box.
"This is the time capsule of Class 10. Nothing has moved." There were more than people in the class, and there were more than envelopes in front of them.
Gu Lu was stunned for two or three seconds.
"Does it feel like a lifetime ago?" Zhou Lin asked with a smile.
"Not really." Gu Lu said, "I was just thinking about what I wrote at that time."
Luna, Zeng Jie, Tian Xiao, Huang Lu...
Gu Lu found his own envelope from a pile of envelopes because his name was written on it, so it must be the right one.
At the same time, familiar yet unfamiliar names also appeared in front of Gu Lu.
"It's quite ambiguous to put your head so close. Don't worry, I will definitely show it to you." Gu Lu said.
"Are you serious about taking a half step back?" Zhou Lin said jokingly, then became a little more serious, "I definitely want to see what's written in other people's time capsules. It feels very, very meaningful. It's a pity that our head teacher at Tsinghua and Peking University only tells us to sweep up the garbage."
This other person = Gu Lu, this is Zhou Lin’s inner equation.
Uh, should I stay under the car? Director Shang immediately stood up and said, "Teacher Gu Lu, Student Zhou Lin, I have something urgent to do in my office. Please wait a moment."
As he spoke, Director Shang picked up the phone and seemed to be talking to someone.
Office? Isn't this Director Shang's office? Gu Lu looked at Director Shang's photo on the desk. Unlike most teachers who would display family photos, Director Shang's photo was a photo of himself winning an award.
Not caring about anything more, Gu Lu opened the envelope.
[Do you celebrate every birthday as a double?]
[Are you completely used to this world? Life is not a game, so you can’t play with the world.]
[I want to fulfill my dream, have you taken action?]
The letter was opened, and it seemed as if the memories sealed inside suddenly jumped out, entered Gu Lu's mind, and wandered around, turning the ocean of memory upside down.
A double birthday was what Gu Lu promised his original self. Gu Lu nodded with satisfaction at the first item, and he had always tried his best to complete it. When he was young (when he was 17 or 18 years old), he even had to eat two birthday cakes.
The second question…
It turns out that I realized it at that time. It is difficult to integrate into a world that is the same but different, and a completely new identity. Gu Lu now asks himself, have I integrated into the world in the past few years?
The third question is, what has been your dream?
Stunned. What was that? Gu Lu had no memory of such a thing.
Judging from the word order, this dream should be my dream in my previous life. What is it? Gu Lu racked his brains.
What’s sad is not the failure in pursuing your dreams, but people like Gu Lu who don’t even remember them.
Zhou Lin looked at the three questions. Her understanding of the three questions was completely different...
“Being debt-free is a relief. Dreams are debts owed to the future. Without them, you will feel relieved.” Gu Lu quickly adjusted his mindset.
Thinking about...
Ah, why didn't the time capsule trigger the cheat code? Many Japanese light novels have this content. It seems that Anohana also has it.
Gu Lu came to his senses and realized that it was normal not to have that.
Because the two composite labels of "a classic of sad literature", "a work that is hard to read a second time", "an EMO masterpiece that is not tear-jerking", "the most successful bestseller in Sweden", "saved countless people from committing suicide", and "a debut work that became an instant hit" have been occupied.
If you miss it, don't think about it.
"I hope the plan goes well." Gu Lu thought that these were second-hand items. If they were useless, they would all be donated, and they wouldn't be wasted anyway.
Even though the courier fee for the donation is another amount of money, it’s different!
Seeing that the other party looked calm, Zhou Lin beside him spoke up, "Do you want to write down the answer?"
"No need, I answered it in my heart." Gu Lu said, at least the first two were.
Zhou Lin nodded and said, "I celebrated my birthday twice because I didn't celebrate it before. Do I have to make it up for it?" In the end, she didn't ask the question.
The office was silent for a few seconds.
Looking at the thick stack of envelopes, Gu Lu suddenly said, "I have an idea."
"Tell me about it and let me see how bold your idea is." Zhou Lin continued.
……
When he walked out of the office, Director Shang still led the way. He felt that he left in time and returned to the office in time.
"Eh? Sister Lin still has Guru?!" A surprised female voice, a little hoarse and rough, the texture of the voice felt like a cement floor that had been rubbed many times.
Gu Lu and Zhou Lin turned around at the same time, and were not very surprised at first.
Although the voice was unfamiliar, they were both students at No. 8 Middle School, so it was normal for them to meet familiar classmates. But when they looked back at the source of the voice, both Gu Zhou and Zhou were surprised.
"Chen Xue?"
This was surprising because the speaker was Chen Xue, their junior high school classmate, rather than high school classmate.
"Oh? Xiao Chen, do you know Teacher Gu Lu and classmate Zhou Lin?" Director Shang said, and he hurriedly introduced, "Xiao Chen and her husband are plumbers in our school."
"We were classmates in junior high school." Gu Lu said, "We used to get along very well."
After learning about this relationship, Director Shang said a few words and left.
It's like giving "space for conversation" a godly touch.
I met Chen Xue unexpectedly, and the three of us found a place to sit down and talk.
They chatted about their current living conditions. When they learned that Gu Lu and Zhou Lin were both admitted to Peking University, they were full of admiration.
"By the way, Lingdang, Hulu, I actually did pretty well in the first and second year of junior high school." Chen Xue suddenly said as she was leaving. Worried that they had forgotten, she added, "Really, I was pretty good at English and math."
Really? Gu Lu was already in the third year of junior high school when he traveled here. The original body had no memory of this incident. In the original body's impression, Chen Xue was a spirited little sister who often played with the yellow-haired boy outside.
The impression of Gu Lu himself is that he is filial and very good at scolding people, and can fight with the aunt.
"Well, I remember that you competed with Zhao Juan for the position of math class representative in the first grade of junior high school," Zhou Lin said.
"I haven't seen Zhao Zhao for a long time. I heard from my classmates that she seems to have graduated and become a police officer." Chen Xue said casually, changing the subject too lightly and too smoothly to cover up the solemnity of the previous sentence. When she found that someone actually remembered it, she immediately retracted her words.
"I heard that she went to Yunnan Province to be a police officer." Chen Xue said, "I don't know if it's true."
"It's probably impossible. I remember she moved to Guangdong Province and was admitted to Guangdong Police University. No matter how she was assigned, it's impossible for her to go to Yunnan Province," said Zhou Lin.
