Chapter 436 It’s all Gu Lu’s fault

"There is a very talented filmmaker who has some ideas..."

Before Guo Dafa could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Lu, "Brother Guo, the filmmaker you are talking about is not the director from your family that you told me about a few days ago - Guo Fan, right?"

"It's him. He has ambition and talent." Guo Dafa said, "If I have to choose a leader for China's seventh generation of directors, I would choose him. He said he wants to lay a solid foundation for China's heavy industry science fiction films!"

"So, you decided to invest 60 million?" Gu Lu continued.

"This investment has also been approved by you, Mr. Gu..." Guo Dafa didn't know either. He clearly planned to invest several million to support it, but for some reason he became so excited.

He changed the subject, "Guo Fan told me his true feelings. Although the more investment in The Wandering Earth, the better, but to shoot this kind of film, you may encounter various obstacles."

We've known each other for less than a month, and you're already speaking your mind? Gu Lu quietly waited for the other party to speak next on the phone.

"Director Guo said something very realistic. If after filming is completed, with such a huge investment, there is something that gets stuck in the review, it will be very scary." Guo Dafa said, "But if our company participates in the investment, plus "The Wandering Earth" is the work of Mr. Gu, then it is 99% safe."

"This is the view that Guo Fan and I share," Guo Dafa said. "The reason why I didn't say it's 100% is because nothing is certain. The reason I have this confidence is because of your reputation in China, Mr. Gu!"

It is reputation, not influence. Guo Dafa did not use the wrong word. "Teacher Gu, your reputation comes from "Young China", "Diplomatic Trilogy", and a series of evaluations of Teacher Gu by official media and party media, such as benchmark, leader, representative, and advanced figure."

When citing the example of a "representative", a spokesperson for the diplomatic unit said, "The U.S. side's groundless criticism of my country's exam-oriented education is superficial and despicable. The U.S. side has biased... The U.S. reporter cited many examples of talented students, so we will also cite a representative of Chinese genius: Gu Lu."

The spokesperson responded to the criticism from the United States again and again against China for fabricating facts out of thin air at the press conference.

In fact, the US side wanted to fool people with happy education, and also mentioned a certain scientific research genius in their country. The Chinese side mentioned Gu Lu, on the one hand to protect scientific research geniuses, and on the other hand, Gu Lu's achievements would not fall behind under any circumstances.

After finishing his story, Guo Dafa asked, "Teacher Dagu, do you think that under this situation, domestic publicity may hinder your investment work?"

"The same goes for the Hanfu Association. If Mr. Gu joins, the worst that can happen is that the review will be delayed. Will the review unit dare to fight back?" said Guo Dafa.

Shit, have I become so awesome without realizing it? But I haven’t won any important literary awards… Gu Lu suddenly came back to his senses and realized that he was obsessed.

Winning a major literary award is only one way to accumulate reputation. Gu Lu’s path can be said to be more upright - national recognition.

It can be a shield for scientific research geniuses, it can help national diplomacy, and in between it can become a role model for young people. What is the cost-effectiveness of this?
"Then I have to be careful not to join certain associations." Gu Lu thought of the lessons learned from the past.

"Of course, in addition to what I said above, another point is that as an expert of the six core think tanks, Mr. Gu represents the official attitude." Guo Dafa said, "But my position is that I have no objection to the Hanfu Promotion Association. We are the referees of the market for rectifying ancient costume photography, which is also beneficial to us. The specifics need to be considered by Mr. Gu himself. I have analyzed everything I know."

"Okay." Gu Lu responded, and then Guo Dafa said that Guo Fan wanted to meet him.

Meet me? Is it the adaptation's consultation with the original author? It's also normal. Gu Lu agreed and asked Guo Dafa to make an appointment.

Gu Lu hung up the phone only after he had said everything he needed to say.

"There hasn't been any major changes in recent years, so my own positioning is not as clear as that of bystanders." Gu Lu summed up the reasons and his mind quickly jumped to another thing.

"Although the award is just icing on the cake for me, it's still worth it. After a while, when the People's Literature serial is almost finished, I will publish a collection." Gu Lu thought.

Because it would be too late if he didn't take the Zhuangzhongwen Literature Award. This award is the most famous award for young writers in China, and King Guru is just a vulgar person. Why not take good things?

Before going to bed tonight, my last thought is whether I should register as a member of the Hanfu Promotion Association?

He has a very good sleep quality and even lightning and thunder cannot wake him up unless someone tells him to wake up at eight o'clock the next morning.

Gu Lu fell asleep, but the world was still awake, so everything was still going on, including the follow-up of Gu Lu's reply to the seven deadly sins.

Apart from promoting his new book, his account was inactive most of the time, so netizens were surprised when he suddenly did something else.

Looking at the content again, many people left messages expressing their empathy.

Of course, the main areas of harm caused by other people's children, Gu Lu, are the southwest and near the south. When it comes to the north, his influence declines.

But that doesn't stop netizens from making fun of it.

"Family, I found the reason why I have been single for 27 years", "It turns out that I am not prone to obesity, it turns out that it is just because of Gu Lu!", "So, I did poorly in the exam?", "I didn't get a job..."

Blame society for being too complaining, blame your parents and family for sighing, blame yourself for being depressed. Now that there is a standard answer, even if it is just a joke, it can be regarded as a painless vent.

So, on the night when Gu Lu fell asleep, "It's all King Guru's fault" and "It's all Gu Lu's fault" became memes that spread.

The reason why it is a minor meme is that the current Internet changes too quickly. What is popular in the past two days will be out of fashion in the next two days, and there is no time for it to spread all over the country. For example, the "Wei Yimin" and "Wang Zibin" memes are widely circulated, but there are also many netizens who have never heard of them.

"It's all Gu Lu's fault that we have to work overtime!" Xiaolu straightened his bent waist and pounded it with his hands. At the same time, he stood up and twisted his body left and right.

Reviewing all booth reports is a low-tech job but does require concentration and a lot of time.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If your superiors hear you, they will definitely ask you to write a self-criticism," said Old Xing. "It will affect your career."

"Hey, Brother Xing, I'm just joking." Xiaolu immediately took out his mobile phone and told him the current situation of the Internet.

I don't know what's so good about this. Old Xing's first reaction was to sigh that Teacher Gu Lu was so famous that so many people would discuss anything he said.

In the end, what Lao Xing said was, "Others can play with this joke, but we can't just say it casually. Let's do it quickly, the event is only a few days away."

Xiaolu also realized the problem. They are currently a department temporarily set up in the Ferry District, named "The Little Prince Activity Organization Temporary Command Center". As the name suggests, it is specifically responsible for preparing activities and cooperating with Gu Lu.

Furthermore, the reason why Xiaolu and Lao Xing have such a heavy workload is really related to Gu Lu.

It’s okay to play with memes, but you can’t talk nonsense even if you have a connection with someone.

"Brother Xing, who do you think Gu Lu will invite?" Xiaolu asked. The officials in the Ferry District were not stupid and they could probably guess that Gu Lu's surprise was to invite celebrities.

"When we're working, we call him Teacher Gu Lu." Old Xing said, "Our activities are aimed at the ACG world, so we will definitely invite some domestic COSERS."

Old Xing, who is about 34 or 35 years old, does not completely fail to understand, because as a person born in the 1980s, he also likes to watch Japanese anime such as Dragon Ball and has some knowledge of ACG.

"Boss Li is really lucky. I wonder if we can create more Boss Li this time." Xiaolu is a native of Dukou District. The Boss Li he mentioned is Sister Li, who used to make lemon tea and is now the owner of a morning milk tea shop.

Last week, the Fog City Daily reported an interview with a man who earned the down payment for a house (over 200,000 yuan) in just half a year, which was simply incredible wealth.

"As a writer, I feel I am extremely awesome." Xiaolu said, "Have you ever seen a living author who can boost the people's livelihood economy?"

"Don't think too much, and don't put all your trust on Teacher Gu Lu," said Old Xing. "Teacher Gu Lu gave us this opportunity, and we need to grasp the rest."

For example, the officials of the Dukou District are now discussing how to transform their plans. The popularity of "Hyouka" will definitely fade away, so what will happen then?

The Little Prince event is a way to prolong his popularity. We should take advantage of this good opportunity to find a new way out. Can we eat Gu Lu forever? A good iron must be made strong.

Lao Xing and the officials of Dukou District all thought so.

The two of them were also working overtime tonight. People from the temporary command center were transferred from various positions, but they all had one thing in common: they were all very busy...

The next morning, Gu Lu got up early.

It is said that modern young people like to sleep in. In fact, as long as young people go to bed before midnight, most of them will be able to get up.

Going out today was a little different from usual, Gu Lu dressed more formally.

"Mr. Gu", "Hello, Teacher Gu", "I am so lucky to meet Teacher Gu today.", "Hello, Mr. Gu"...

Among all the question marks, there seems to be a green tea hidden?
It doesn’t matter. Gu Lu arrived at the office which he hadn’t visited for a long time.

Today, Hegemony Society is coming to consult on the details of the adaptation. Gu Lu is not a new writer, so the animation company came to Sijiu City.

I seem to have forgotten to introduce domestic companies. The domestic copyright agency and development headquarters are located in Chaoyang, Beijing.

We rented five floors of the building, but with the release of "From the New World" and subsequent new works, it seemed that there was not enough space and manpower.

In particular, he will cooperate with Guangxian to develop a new era of martial arts series. Guo Dafa has recently hired headhunters to recruit many talents.

Back to the topic, Gu Lu thought he had arrived early enough, and just took a pack of biscuits and a box of yogurt in the lounge to have breakfast.

Unexpectedly, the secretary has informed me that Vice President Takagi of the Hegemony Society is already waiting in the conference room.

"Didn't we agree to meet at ten o'clock?" Gu Lu glanced at his phone. It was only half past nine.

"They arrived at the company at nine o'clock sharp... According to Vice President Takagi, when visiting a famous writer, you must arrive early to show respect." The secretary responded, with a bit of helplessness in his voice. Because coming so early means that the company has to take charge of the reception in advance.

The Japanese are indeed good at giving small gifts, otherwise how can they cover up the great virtues they have lost?
"Okay," Gu Lu didn't eat the biscuits anymore. He poked the box and drank the yogurt in two or three mouthfuls. Then he followed the secretary to the meeting room.

There were two neon golds in the conference room, one tall and one short. The short one should be the vice president of the Hegemony Society, Takagi, because he was sitting in the middle and wearing glasses. The taller one at the back was also younger and might be a secretary.

"Hello, President Takagi. Thank you for coming all the way here." Gu Lu's opening remarks were quite polite.

Then, to Gu Lu's surprise, the taller, more handsome, and more outspoken man stood up and shook Gu Lu's hand. "Hello, Mr. Gu Lu, I'm Gao Muye. I really like your works, especially The Wandering Earth. I think it is the best science fiction short story of the 21st century, bar none!"

Gu Lu could barely understand Japanese, "Who is this?"

"I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce you. This is my translator, Mr. Kamii." Takagino bowed quickly and introduced.

So the judgment was completely wrong. Gu Lu felt strange because in Neon, where the hierarchy is strict, the seating arrangement should not be wrong.

Well, Gu Lu put his doubts aside for now, because it would not affect the subsequent conversation.

……

On the way home from work.

"Come to my house for dinner..."

"No, no, let's do it some other time, next time. I'm a little busy today."

Gu Lu quickly refused and hung up President Jian's phone call, saying he had something to do.

I'm a little nervous about Auntie Shangfang for now, and the reason for this is because of Uncle Jian's surprise on National Day last time. Gu Lu has some thoughts, he wants Uncle Jian to be more honest, so he has made some small changes to the plan...

The effect was not as good as expected, but it achieved the effect that Uncle Jian wanted. Aunt Fang no longer indulged in some of the children's remarks.

I will talk about the details later. Let me talk about something more important. The UK's "The Gloom over Weymouth" was released today at 9:00 a.m. London time.

Kane, Durank and others were present at the press conference, as well as TV reporters. A transatlantic video interview.

Professor Lu couldn’t leave his work for four or five days, so he had to be “on site” via video link.

Yao Xiaoju, TV reporters, Kane, Durrank and a British literary critic sat in a circle.

Puffin Books gave The Gloom at Weymouth the highest level of publicity. After all, it has been serialized for so many years and is well-known, so it is understandable that they invited a TV station to broadcast it online.

In the publicity and promotion with huge resources invested, there is a kind of potential that everyone in Britain is looking forward to - except Weymouth.

Drop drop drop.

After the connection was established, Gu Lu greeted everyone. The speed was good, not laggy, and his English was good enough for communication.

One set of clothes can be used for two purposes. The clothes Gu Lu wore during the video call were the ones he wore when he went to the company headquarters in the morning.

After saying hello, the TV reporters seemed eager to come up with good news to attract attention.

"Mr Kane, we all know that you were a reporter for The Sun a few years ago and made racist remarks to Mr Gu, which led to the creation of this work. So what is your opinion now?" the reporter asked.
