……
There is a lot of discussion about Gu Lu on Bilibili at present. In the early stage, it focused on the topic of "other people's children". Later, the video content was slices of the realization of various predictions in the interview with King Guru.
“If I didn’t have an account on Bilibili, coupled with the popularity of the interview with King Guru, I would be no different from other writers.” Gu Lu thought that he should really do something.
The first step will be to release the People magazine interview next month, Gu Lu thought to himself.
Now that he was already here, Gu Lu clicked on a related video with a lot of comments - a detailed account of Gu Lu's seven deadly sins.
The up master Wafer Biscuit is half a rant zone and half a current affairs hotspot zone. He will not comment on international events, but will only "snipe" livelihood news with heavy complaints.
"Hello everyone, this is a wafer biscuit that can't be used as a main meal or staple food. The video is a snack after the meal, and it's for your entertainment. If the copy hurts anyone, please contact me immediately and I will delete the video and apologize immediately."
The beginning is the traditional armor stacking skill of this up master.
"First of all, the crime that Gu Lu committed was the crime of arrogance. Although this bastard is from Sichuan and Chongqing, he speaks too arrogantly!" Wafer Biscuits collected interviews from Pioneer Daily, Literature and Art Daily, Fog City Daily and other newspapers.
[Reporter: Do you have any writing tips you can share?
Fifteen-year-old Gu Lu: Actually, I’m not very good at writing novels. I’ll just pick up the pen and leave everything to fate. ]
[Reporter: Do you have any special writing skills to become the first student in Fog City to win the first prize of Ye Shengtao Cup?
Fifteen-year-old Gu Lu: Read more books.
Reporter: Many students say that reading a lot of books is useless. Is there any way to improve?
Fifteen-year-old Gu Lu: I’m sorry. ]
[Reporter: Did you encounter any bottlenecks during the creative process?
Sixteen-year-old Gu Lu: No.
……
King Guru, who is watching the video, currently has a thought like this emoticon: "If one day I am gone, please remember my pure little eyes."
At that time, she actually told the truth, and even wanted to be a whore. If it were now, Gu Lu felt that he could talk dirty all the time.
When he was thinking this, a strange sound suddenly came from the phone, which sounded like a mixture between a human voice and a rooster's crowing.
"Jill!" The uploader Wafer Biscuit made a sharp sound, "Look, is this cunning guy speaking human language? Let me translate it——"
Actually, I’m not very good at writing novels, so I’ll just pick up the pen and leave everything to God.
Chinese translation: What skills do I need? Just pick up a pen and start writing. I have pure talent.
Read more. Sorry.
Chinese translation: People's physiques are different.
"Especially the last item. In the end, did you encounter a bottleneck? This guy answered so quickly and clearly, without any hesitation. How can someone be so talented and arrogant? Death penalty!" Wafer Biscuit slammed the table in anxiety.
It is obviously a show effect, but the up master's performance is very good, and the barrage of comments is flying everywhere.
"Death Sin (1/1)", "Top talent, sci-fi, fairy tales, campus, essays, any subject can be handled", "I have a bottleneck when writing a -word essay...", "If Liu Yifei and Yan Yikuan are Nuwa's show of appearance, then Gu Lu is the show of literary creation", "Why can I see fans of Yahua everywhere?"...
Gu Lu wanted to turn off the comments, because the comments of quarrels would affect the viewing experience, but he didn't do it for a long time. The current ecology of Bilibili is not as good as before, but this is also something that must be experienced after going viral.
The video is fifteen minutes long, and the last few sins are a little different. Wafer Biscuits said, "I'm going to talk about the two sins of gluttony and envy together. Every time I get good grades and show off a little, I'll hear my mom say, don't compare yourself with the good ones, only with the bad ones. Why don't you look at Gu Lu? He's the same age as you, and others have been on newspapers and TV!"
"In comparison, I'm jealous. How great would it be if Gu Lu's report was on my head? In order to vent my anger, I eat a lot. Look at me now, I'm 1.7 meters tall and weigh 160 kilograms. Who can I blame?"
These two crimes were crimes that Gu Lu caused others to commit, and there was also the "crime of removing lust." Wafer Biscuits said that he had been single since birth because he was fat since he was a child.
B netizens said it made sense and said that it was all Gu Lu’s fault that they hadn’t found a girlfriend in all these years!
“It looks like a joke, but there are a lot of people sharing other people’s family stories in the comment section… The frustration education is really not good.” Gu Lu sighed. For many babies born in the Chinese system, the most common compliment they have heard since childhood is: not bad (okay).
Traditional Chinese parents seem to feel that if they praise their children a little more, the latter will become proud and complacent.
“If I have a child in the future, it must not be the most annoying type.” Gu Lu sighed. He didn’t know who gave him the courage. He had never had a girlfriend in his two lifetimes, but he actually considered this.
Snore King: [Forward the link, no problem. If you get fat and can’t find a girlfriend in the future, blame me. It’s all my fault.]
This message was forwarded on Weibo and Bilibili. Gu Lu put down his phone. Songzi will be released in February or March next year, and Renheshu will also start planning their own popular plans.
The family ordered takeout and finished the meal in less than half an hour. Gu Lu then started looking for something.
It takes a long time to clean up a messy room, but it only takes Gu Lu twenty minutes to make a relatively tidy room messy!
What was he looking for? As far as he could remember, he seemed to have taken on some kind of job in the first half of this year.
"There are still too many things to do," Gu Lu looked through the memo again, but there was nothing to do.
misremembered?
Soon, a phone call interrupted Gu Lu's thoughts.
The call was from President Jian. To make a long story short, he hoped that Gu Lu could hold a book signing event and talk about the performance of the book.
From the New World advertised its first-day sales, but then there was no news in the first week. It's not that the sales have dropped, in fact, because the English version was banned in Europe and the United States, the sales momentum is above average.
Not only did the book not end in ten days, but it actually achieved great results. A total of 89 copies were sold in China, 51 copies in Japan, 22 copies in South Korea, and the rest of the world, Lion and Horse, combined, had a total sales of 19 copies in ten days.
It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that "From the New World" is the best-selling book in China in 2019. It is the best-selling book in Asia in 2019!
Both the readers and non-readers have bought it. Guo Dafa judged that the sales have entered a flat period. It is hopeless to improve the sales qualitatively, so the normal publicity plan can be followed. "Special note, the Devotion of Suspect X, which is currently the No. 1 domestic sales volume this year and may slip to No. 2, is also the work of our writers." Guo Dafa looked at the person in front of him, "So Mr. Kong, our writers have never lacked influence. What we lack is a good crew, a good crew that can film a good novel."
Director Kong of Noon Sunshine had a difficult time. It wasn’t because the copyright fee for his adaptation of “The Four” was high, but his requirements were a bit harsh.
"Against the Cold Water is a series of works by the Four Famous Detectives that have not yet been published. We can adapt it first." Guo Dafa also threw out a bait, "Then we can release the new work and save a lot of publicity costs."
This is the advantage of a series of works, you can just put in new stories as long as you put a name on it. The only novel that can achieve this effect is "Ghost Blowing the Light".
"We at Zhengwu hope to collaborate with Mr. Gu Lu," said Director Kong, "but we are troubled by the lack of suitable long-form works."
What he said was 70% praise and 30% truth. As a writer, Gu Lu is very well-known both at home and abroad. If his works are adapted well, they may be exported overseas.
The two reached a verbal cooperation, but they needed to sit down and discuss in detail the specific investment, subsequent profits, and copyright ownership.
But things were basically done, and Guo Dafa breathed a sigh of relief.
"Noon's products must be high-quality... Yao Xiaoju, I have confidence in this." Guo Dafa walked out of Noon No. 1 Dongli (Noon headquarters) feeling relaxed.
Guo and Yao are the heads of Gu Lu's domestic and foreign copyright development companies respectively. In terms of making money, Guo is still in the lead.
But when the two companies cooperated and jointly carried out copyright development, Guo had no control at all.
Don't say anything. If you want to talk, Yao will just say, "Yes, the domestic revenue is quite high. Using Brother Gu's reputation to make money? It's almost become adaptation poison. Look at us abroad. Every movie and animation has a good reputation."
Guo Dafa was so angry that he was about to tell Gu Lu the good news.
Good things take time to come, and good things come in pairs, so let me tell you another piece of good news that Gu Lu received.
The animation production company WIT STUDIO agreed to Yao Xiaoju's request and went to Suokou Hill in the Fog City to shoot the scene.
The Locking Mouth Hill in "From the New World" is a long and wide raised hill made by man with cursed power, with more than 30 divine habitats on it. Looking at this planet from space, the Locking Mouth Hill is like Jörmungandr, winding around the blue planet.
The description in the book is exaggerated, but in reality, Suokou Hill in the ferry district is where Gu Lu used to live. The economic development there is not very good, and even two shopping malls have avoided this place.
The current prosperity has increased because it is the filming location of Hyouka and has attracted some tourists.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Yao. You managed to negotiate such difficult conditions. I just wanted to give it a try originally," said Gu Lu.
"Why is it so hard? Even Kyoto Animation could come to the foggy city to shoot Hyouka, so why can't Hegemony Studio?" Yao Xiaoju said, "Our work is good, and if Hegemony Studio wants to adapt it, we will definitely choose to compromise."
The process was not that easy, because Kyoto Animation had its own style of filming, and the style of Hegemony Studio was different. It was just that… Xiao Gu didn’t often make requests, but since he did, even if it was just a casual remark, Yao Xiaoju would do his best to facilitate it, this was his way of being a ninja!
The anime from the New World on Earth had great potential to become a masterpiece, with a Douban score of 1. Unfortunately, the animation production company is A, and the style is not only abstract, but the production is also poor. This world should be much better than the previous life if it is replaced by Hegemony.
"Thanks to Brother Yao for going to talk to him." Gu Lu said.
"Then I won't disturb you, Brother Gu, from your rest. I still have work to do here." Yao Xiaoju said and hung up.
Why do you think I'm a black-hearted boss? Gu Lu looked at the phone that had hung up.
He collected his thoughts and suddenly - Oh, right, was this the thing he forgot?
A bit similar, and a bit different.
The ferry area wanted to hold a Little Prince Day to promote tourism. With the approval of the Fog City officials, I came to ask him a few months ago.
"The surprise seems to be getting bigger," Gu Lu told the head of the district's tourism department at the time that there would be a surprise.
Originally, King Guru planned to invite the voice actor of Hyouka, as well as two cartoonists he knew, Tsukuda and Fujimaki Tadatoshi, to visit the Fog City.
"Superpower Basketball" and "The Exploding Spirit" are also very popular in China, not to mention that the voice actor of Hyouka, Nakamura Yuichi, is also relatively well-known. They can attract a lot of attention to the ferry area, and if done well, they can even become popular on a short video platform.
From the new world, the ferry area may really become a famous tourist attraction in the foggy city!
"I am a kind person. I just want my friends in the ferry area to live a better life." Gu Lu shamelessly praised himself. But he knew in his heart that he did these things, in large part, for vanity.
The place where he lived as a child had undergone tremendous changes because of him, and of course it was for the better. Gu Lu felt secretly happy just thinking about it.
After all, becoming a former residence is something that happens after death. Gu Lu could do better when he was alive.
Be happy today.
I was also able to resolve a few trivial matters from yesterday, namely the matter of being listed in the association. Gu Lu told Guo Dafa about it when he went back home last night. Therefore, Guo Dafa completed the work during the day and called the writer at night.
“It feels like he’s half-truthful.” Guo Dafa said, “It’s not a feeling, it’s just half-truthful.”
"Brother Guo, tell me in detail." King Guru listened attentively.
"The Hanfu Promotion Association cannot be established. I also asked people in the circle and it is true. Even the Demon City wanted to establish it but was rejected by the government."
Wow? Is there anything he can't do? Gu Lu was surprised.
"So far, there is only a Pudong Hanfu Association." Guo Dafa continued, "I think that Sha is pretending to be confused. What kind of association has such great power that it can even block the road to Shanghai? There must be something else going on."
"Besides, I also found out that Sha Tong has a business under his name, a clothing store with Chinese elements, which seems to be quite famous in the circle." Guo Dafa said, "He has lobbied many official figures to endorse him, and I didn't expect that he would finally set his sights on Teacher Da Gu. From a businessman's point of view, I have to say that Sha Tong is smart. He actually thought of looking for you, Teacher Da Gu."
"I didn't know I have so much power now." Gu Lu was more concerned about this. As for Sha Tong having related industries, he had already expected that in fact it would be more lasting to focus on profits and supplemented by interests.
Hearing this, Guo Dafa's expression on the other end of the phone became serious, "Teacher Da Gu, you may really not understand what your status is in China."
"Let me tell you a real-life example that happened to me this month..."
