Chapter 442: Very Good Effect
Don’t think that it’s just a rise from the last to the second to last, this is a qualitative leap!

The number of passengers in the Ba District was nearly 700,000, far exceeding that of the Ferry District. The second-to-last position was firmly established.

After all, among the five old springs in the Fog City, Nan Hot Spring is located in the Ba District. It is also the closest to the main urban area among the five old springs, and many locals go there to take a bath during holidays.

But now, the tourist popularity of Dukou District is more than twice that of them. Is this reasonable? Is there still any law?

There are discussions on the Internet, with local people also chiming in.

"Looking at the pictures posted on Xiaohongshu, the event in the ferry area seems pretty good. The fireworks lasted two hours on New Year's Eve. The key point is that some netizens said that hotels and B&Bs have not raised their prices yet."

"The wave in the ferry area was good. After the New Year's Eve, there was no online taxi at all. Then they arranged for free buses and the subway worked overtime to send all the tourists back."

"In recent years, many cities have suddenly become popular, some because of their good services, some because of their unique scenery. The ferry area is particularly special because of a writer..."

"The Ba District is really too difficult. One day, it was surpassed by the Ferry District. What a shame!"

"I'm from Sha District, so I went there to join in the fun. When my mom found out that I went to Dukou District, she said, 'What's so fun in those remote corners?' Dukou District should try to seize these few opportunities!"

Then the topic went off track. Many people in Fog City learned for the first time that their Sichuan and Chongqing dialect, kākaguǒguo, was actually written like this. Some netizens also explained that there is a difference between 垰垰角角 and 角角, and the latter means gap.

No one knew where the building had tilted, but the entire leadership team of the Fog City was paying close attention to it.

They all know that the data for the ferry area was pulled up by the Little Prince's Day in the last few days of December. Although many tourists live in the fog and sand areas, the consumption of participating in activities at the ferry, shopping and eating is definitely in the ferry area.

The dry pot restaurants, skewers, Jianghu cuisine restaurants, grilled fish restaurants and other shops in the Dukou District make it feel like spring has arrived early.

Before the event, these food shop owners were still mumbling: "Why do you have so many fancy things? It's a waste of money. The broken street lights in my community have not been fixed yet."

After the event——

"Look, what I said, the district must have its reasons for doing this." Boss Lei said, "The night before last, our hot pot restaurant turned over four tables."

"Old Lei, you still understand." The boss of Niu Xiangge Chuan Chuan Xiang was convinced, "You still understand the district's policies, but isn't it too long to hold Prince and Princess Day once a year? If it were you, I would hold it once a month."

Lao Lei cleared his throat and put his hands in the pockets of his jeans. His whole movement conveyed one meaning: Please pay attention, I am going to show off.

"I don't know much about the district, but I know a lot about the influence of writer Gu Lu." Boss Lei said, "When writer Gu Lu was not yet famous, he often came to my old restaurant to eat. Come on, I'll take you there..."

"Ahem, Lao Lei, I have something to do in my shop, so I'll leave first." The boss of Niu Xiangge left first because he was tired of hearing it. To be more precise, everyone in this street who was familiar with Lao Lei was tired of hearing it.

That's right, the owner of this hotpot restaurant is the former owner of the Meiwa Fish Head Restaurant on Jiafu Road, but his real name is unknown. He often yells "tired" in front of his wife, so the boss's wife calls him Lao Lei, and the diners follow suit and call him Lao Lei.

"Why did you leave?" He was only pretending to be cool, but the feeling of being neither here nor there was too uncomfortable.

Lao Lei returned to the store. It was past ten in the morning and there were no customers. He looked at the group photo on the east wall. Don't say it, don't say it. Standing next to the great writer, Lao Lei also felt that he was in his prime.

He still remembers that a teacher named Wu missed the group photo due to some reasons. Then he would often sigh when he came to the restaurant to eat frog. It was not until two years ago when the American Frog and Fish Head Restaurant closed that he ran to the current location to open a hot pot restaurant, and then he could no longer hear Teacher Wu sighing.

Back to the point, many district leadership teams in the main urban area of ​​the Fog City have held meetings to see if there is anything they can learn from.

The leaders of Bei District, which ranks third from the bottom in the main urban area, are terrified. Even if you light a rocket on your butt, it wouldn’t be so fast!
The person who invented Gu Lu is really a genius, Li Minghai from Dukou District thought.

On the second day after the Little Prince Day, Li Minghai and others organized a meeting to summarize the successful experience.

"The first Little Prince Day did not require much investment, but achieved such good results. We must thank Teacher Gu Lu who was not present. We should also thank Director Qian," said Li Minghai.

"I was seconded here just to help a little," Director Qian sounded a little uneasy, because before he came here he didn't believe that the Little Prince's Day would be a big deal, but the result was far beyond his expectations.

"Could it be that writers on the Internet now have more appeal than young stars?" Director Qian even lost his confidence.

Then, if we, Hongyadong, find Gu Lu to cooperate, wouldn't that be a double whammy? Director Qian was thinking.

In the following meeting, Director Qian was basically absent-minded. To be more precise, Director Qian did not agree with the conclusions of Li Minghai, Lao Xing and others. He thought that they were all hindsight. The location of any animation is a secondary factor.

From this, we can see that Director Qian does not think that there is anything special about Hongyadong, which he is responsible for. Buildings of this level can be built with money. He believes that the core is traffic, getting Internet celebrities to check in, and various strategies on the Internet to form a herd effect.

Gu Lu equals large traffic, this is the conclusion drawn by Director Qian.

"There is another good news. Teacher Gu Lu has another surprise for us - the filming location of the animation "From the New World" is still in our ferry area. So while saving our strength for the next Little Prince Day, we must cooperate with the animation club to film." Li Minghai said.

Li Minghai's plan to turn the ferry area into the southwest two-spined monkey center has also received some support from above. The most direct one is that relevant animation elements should be added to the streets.

Rongcheng: They are really trying to steal business.

There are some bustling shopping and food places in Dukou District, including Xiangjiang City, Xintianze Shopping Plaza, which was renamed Little Prince Shopping Plaza, and Xiaolu City.

This kind of official operation is actually quite normal. It is quite common in towns and villages. For example, a local pillar enterprise will change its name to the name of the enterprise. It is a way to express the importance of the enterprise without spending money.

It's just a rare operation in the city.

"Xiaolu City is reopening, can we invite Teacher Gu Lu to cut the ribbon?" Xiaolu said.

"What are you thinking about? Teacher Gu Lu has given us enough support. Don't push your luck." Old Xing said immediately.

"I know I'm getting too far, but there are so few chances for us to turn the tables here, so if one comes, we'll want to grab it with all our might!" Xiaolu said.

It's not that there are too few opportunities, it's almost none... Old Xing thought about it and shook his head, "It's not necessary. There are Bayi Food Street, Nanfang Garden Night Market, and Jiujie Night Market in Wudu. No matter what, we can't have delicious food. You are a young person, and the important thing for you now is to go online and see what young people like. It would be best if the price-performance ratio is relatively high so that we can invite them to the next event."

"No problem, I'll do it well." Xiaolu responded, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Will our temporary command center become a permanent unit?"

Old Xing shook his head. It is not clear at the moment. Li Minghai is the district's leader who specializes in managing culture and tourism, but I am afraid that the city's culture and tourism department will come to reap the fruits...

There are many people who want to pick the fruits and grab the business, for example, Yongchuan!
You know, Gu Lu is from Yongchuan and his registered residence is also there.

现在百度百科，YC区列出来的著名人物，一共六人：黄开基（1790-1856、郑东琴（1882-1965）、黄墨涵（1883-1955）、徐近之（1908-1982、陈子庄（1913-1976）、顾陆（1996-）。

To be honest, 90% of the audience only know Gu Lu. Fine arts majors may know Chen Zizhuang, and meteorology majors may know Xu Jinzhi. "Gu Lu's hometown is in Wujian Town, Yongchuan. Can we build a former residence there?"

"Ahem, Director Tu... Teacher Gu Lu is still alive and young. His old residence is not good."

"What about the elementary school you attended? Make some news about it."

"Mr. Gu Lu attended Baihua Primary School in Baihua Village, Dukou District, No. 37 Middle School for junior high school, and No. 8 Middle School for high school. In fact, Mr. Gu Lu moved to the main urban area with his parents when he was four years old."

"Oh, what about kindergarten?"

"It's not going to happen. It really isn't going to happen."

Yongchuan was very hurt. He felt extremely upset seeing the ferry district making money while he himself could not.

I want to call and invite Gu Lu to the Yongchuan New Year Lantern Festival next month...

However, the call did not go through, because there were too many calls in the past few days, so Gu Lu temporarily hung up the phone and said "Do Not Disturb". If the name is not in the phone book, it cannot be called at all.

He hasn't left the foggy city yet.

The Jingzhi Community was quite new when Gu Lu bought the house, but it is a bit old now.

The small fountain just after entering the gate has been broken for a year or two.

"If a house is not occupied for a long time, it will get old quickly." Gu Lu did a thorough cleaning at home.

Thinking about whether to rent out the house, Gu Lu glanced at the time.

It was still early, so Gu Lu decided to try hard for another hour.

Three or four thousand words in an hour is not too much, right?
Combined with the hard work he put in before going to bed last night, Zweig had completed the sequel to Tolstoy's posthumous work.

Is Zweig a literary giant? As the king of biography, he is definitely one. But it is an exaggeration to say that Zweig can be compared with Tolstoy. There is a gap between literary giants. Those who can expose human nature and make people feel cold are the top literary giants in Gu Lu's eyes.

Lu Xun, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy and others belong to this class. Of course, this classification is also a personal opinion. He personally prefers Russian literature. Because the top literary works of the Bear Country are all very difficult to read. But as long as you read them carefully, it will really help you understand human nature.

4011 words, 52 minutes, done! Sent to Director Zhao’s email.

Soon, Director Zhao sent a message on WeChat: [Is it okay for Professor Tian of Mao Xiong’s Chinese Literature from CUPL to translate Russian?]
From the details, we can see that Gu Lu's status has been improved. If he is not satisfied, he can really replace him.

Director Zhao also sent Professor Tian's resume, saying that he was the dean of the Russian Language School at CUFE and had written textbooks such as "Russian Practical Grammar" and "Russian Reading Course 1 for New Era Universities". The most important one was "National College Russian Level Proficiency Test Simulation Questions Collection", which was also written by Professor Tian.

He raised a question, saying that Professor Tian's research direction seemed to be somewhat deviated from literature. It was like Professor Lu, Gu Lu's mentor, was an authority on Chinese language, but it was difficult for him to engage in literary creation.

Director Zhao's message answered Gu Lu's confusion. [Although Professor Tian's research direction is linguistics and semantics, his literary literacy is very good. The editor-in-chief of the Mao Xiongguo series of books published by People's Publishing House is Professor Tian.]
If that's the case, then there's no problem.

[Director Zhao: Expert Gu, our United Front Department is having a New Year party in a few days. If you have free time, you are most welcome to attend.

Gu Lu: I will definitely come when I have time!]
It’s not that I’m self-righteous, it’s mainly because I’ve received too many invitations to New Year parties.

Not so official ones: Shanghai People's Publishing House, New Youth Publishing House, Peking University Xiangshan Banquet (professor gathering), etc.

More official ones include: think tank New Year party, invitations to parties at the Chinese embassies in France, Japan, Britain, Spain and Norway, etc.

Whether to go or not, it takes time to arrange.

"After so many gatherings, I feel that Aunt Fang's cooking is still the best." Gu Lu thought to himself.

Gu Lu went out with his photographic equipment, wrapping himself in a winter coat as the weather was still quite cold today.

The sports photography equipment hanging on his chest was specially purchased for the comeback shooting of Bilibili. Gu Lu is about to go out.

On the other side, Director Zhao was also busy.

"It's a pity that he has no interest in politics, otherwise he would have a bright future as a writer... That's not right, Expert Gu already has a bright future." Director Zhao thought.

He heard that the practical work "The Shawshank Redemption" created to complete the think tank's mission had sold the film and television rights in the United States for a full 200 ​​million US dollars.

There is no need to say much about money and fame. As a current think tank expert, Gu Lu also has indirect power, and he has all three.

Soon, we got in touch with Professor Wada and assigned the task of translating the work into Russian.

To be honest, Professor Tian could have refused, but since this was something that would bring glory to the country, or even leave a name for herself, there was no reason for her to refuse even as the dean!
Professor Tian knew Professor Dashishan of Peking University, and because of his translation of Gu Lu's work, he became the official French translator of the national anthem.

"Is it urgent? If so, I will finish the translation next week." Professor Tian said on the phone, "For this kind of work, the style must be restored to a certain extent, and it can't be translated too quickly."

"Professor Tian, ​​please take care of your health and send me the translation by the end of January," said Director Zhao.

That's okay, there's plenty of time.

After asking some questions, Professor Tian hung up the phone.

She is sixty-seven years old, fifty-three years old this year, and full of energy.

After Director Zhao sent the article via email in the afternoon, Professor Tian immediately opened it and read it.

Title: "Escape to God"

——The sequel to Leo Tolstoy's unfinished play "The Light Shines in the Darkness".

When Professor Tian saw the subtitle, he was really stunned.
