Chapter 431: Neon's Spectacular
Chapter 431: Neon's Spectacular
"The Life of Misunderstood Matsuko" is indeed a work that you won't want to watch a second time after watching it for the first time.
Especially for this movie, there is a very famous review that gave him a heart attack: the film depicts a kind of happiness that seems unhappy.
"To the world of depression, this novel is also very good." Gu Lu did not notice that the movie had a prototype novel. In fact, many Japanese movies are adapted from novels, such as "Hanzawa Naoki" and "Love Letter".
"The battle for second-hand furniture has been won, so these furniture..." Gu Lu thought, it is impossible to move them away since they have just been moved in. It feels like they are in a deep well of ice, so he might as well use them for a month or two.
He opened his phone, made sure no one was looking for him, and then went back to reading. Gu Lu wanted to see the difference between the novel version and the movie version.
What if the text is not so depressing? After all, the movie version may contain the director's own personal opinions.
With this thought in mind, Gu Lu sat down on the wooden chair, which made a creaking sound.
In the four hours of the morning on the day of the release of From the New World, domestic bookstores sold more than 7 copies, which means more than new books were sold every minute.
About one hundred and twenty minutes later, King Gollum froze in a daze, like a clockwork doll that had run out of energy. His eyes were dazed and no one knew what his brain was thinking.
I'm already honest, please let me go.
The movie version actually cut some of the plot. The character of Matsuko on the screen is more dramatic and stereotyped, while the Matsuko in the original novel is more immersive... It is more immersive in this kind of novel... What a beast!
And the sexual Q in the plot is handled more normally. On the screen, Songzi took the initiative to lift up her shirt, but in the text it was designed from beginning to end. Gu Lu was laughing before reading the book, but he stopped laughing after reading it.
"The trigger should be this." Gu Lu looked at the second-hand box on the wall as decoration. The black box used for secret transactions often appeared in movies and TV dramas. It appeared at the beginning of this book, the box containing Sister Songzi's ashes.
The story begins with the father's words: "Really, you are causing trouble to your family before you die." This shows the first impression of disgust. This is Matsuko. It is said that the dead are the greatest, but her death is still despised.
“There’s no rush to finish Fall of Giants next year. I’ll think of a way to finish Pine Seed first. This depressing novel must be read by my friends in this world.” Gu Lu thought to himself and felt much better.
Currently in a state of mental and physical exhaustion, Guru King went online to check out his account. He logged into his Bilibili account which he hadn’t seen for a long time. The last video was more than two months ago. This is the restart of Guru King’s interview series. He interviewed the academic genius of Peking University’s Department of Philosophy.
[Sorry for the long wait, my friends. The interview series with King Guru has been restarted. I will try to keep it updated twice a month. Sorry for the heavy workload!]
Looking at the signature he had modified, Gu Lu blushed a little, but not much, because he had gotten used to it after a while and he had become very thick-skinned.
"Try Your Best" "Update Twice a Month"
"You forgot a key word: 'restart'."
"Old fans have gotten used to it, and new fans are still following the updates. Don't you know? King Guru is the up-host who stopped updating. He stopped updating for one month, two months, half a year, and even two years."
"Gu Lu's creative ability is really terrifying. It reminds me of Zhang Henshui, a fierce man in the Republic of China, who wrote six books at the same time, including "New History of Chunming", "Flower of Youth", "Golden Age", etc. I think there are also martial arts novels. King Guru is almost the same."
"Open the market, bet that Gu Lu will stop for a longer time this time. I'll bet for half a year."
Someone actually said half a year under this message!
Typical contempt for others!
Gu Lu silently remembered that he would update it in a month at most. He planned to film the process of sending the time capsule to his classmates. Of course, he would definitely ask for permission in advance.
Looking at the latest comments under the video, there are a few discussing "From the New World", which are scattered and not very popular.
In the past, the comment section of Guru King’s videos was a place for second-hand peripherals to be exchanged and sold, and it was very popular. But with the rise of apps such as Xiaohongshu and Mouyu, the popularity has decreased. This is normal, as unexpected traffic will always flow away in other ways.
"Zhang Henshui is indeed a tough guy. I shouldn't be in such a hurry right now." Gu Lu came back to his senses and sorted out the book in his hand.
"The Four" is serialized (I have applied for leave).
The Black Mirror series is serialized in the Los Angeles Times.
"Selected Works of Aimee Series" is serialized in People's Literature.
Black Mirror is published every week, with about 10,000 words, and the Aimee series is published twice a week, with more than 20,000 words, which is about 40,000 words a week, catching up with the speed of many online writers.
"I almost forgot to post the video." After being distracted for a long time, Gu Lu finally thought of releasing the recorded promotional video as well.
Gu Lu was probably on camera, saying something like he hoped everyone would support genuine products. Gu Lu was curious, would this kind of video really work?
The Shanghai People's Publishing House also bought a hot search #From the New World Gu Lu# and it is still online.
In comparison, Baitongshe (Neon) and Changbishe (South Korea) have invested fewer resources. The former's hardware strength is not as good as Shanghai People's Publishing House, and the latter does not pay as much attention to it.
Let me briefly talk about the slogans of "From the New World" in several countries. I won’t display the slogans of my country for now, but you can see the posters in any bookstore.
Neon: "A surprising new work by Gu Lu, a novelist known to millions of people. The spiritual sequel to Flowers for Algernon!"
South Korea: "Gu Lu, one of the three most talented people in Asia, has a new work on the market."
Lion City: "Hyouka writer Gu Lu's latest work is now on the market."
Malaysia: "Gu Lu, a talented Chinese writer, has a new work on the market."
I have to explain that the other two clouds in Asia are Kyushu prodigy Katsudane Maru and South Korea.
If Katsutauchi Maru and Gu Lu actually fought two matches, then this Korean genius had no connection with them at all and was just a product used to gain popularity.
Let’s pick an area that has a greater impact.
"From the New World is very suitable for anime adaptation.", "Can we get the copyright?", "We have cooperated with Hyouka before, so it should be no problem."...
When it was first released, many animation studios were eyeing this piece of fat meat. After all, in Japan, Gu Lu's works have always been good in terms of adaptation.
For example, the short story "Yesterday's Park" has been adapted into three versions: a little boy and his friend, a little girl and her friend, and a son and his father.
"Gu-san releases his works really quickly." Douyu is an ordinary Japanese. She grew up watching "The Prince at That Time" and the suspect bought it as soon as possible.
Of course she also queued up for the new book, and then Douyu saw a very magical scene——
There were loud drums and gongs and huge crowds of people.
There was such a huge queue that Douyu couldn't even get close to the entrance of the bookstore.
What's going on?
