Chapter 443 The sequel is invincible!

Professor Tian is at the right age to make breakthroughs this year. His initiative is definitely stronger than that of college students, his acceptance level is also good, and his extensive experience is even more overwhelming.

But even so, she was silent for a few seconds, "Young man... young writer - Mr. Gu Lu is really like that, even if there are thousands of people, I will still go."

Three adjectives were changed in one sentence, and Professor Tian's mood changed from surprise to thought, and finally to "If it was Gu Lu, then it would be understandable."

After all, isn’t it strange that a boy who wrote He Wen at the age of 15 continued to write about Tolstoy at the age of ?

The professor was also busy. She stood up and looked up some information about "The Light Shining in the Darkness". She had the complete works of Tolstoy in Russian in her study.

Among them is an introductory booklet written by a Tolstoy acting scholar, which should contain relatively detailed information.

I'd better read the text first. The professor thought, and scrolled down, "Teacher Xiao Gu actually wrote the preface."

[In 1890, Leo Tolstoy began writing a dramatic autobiography that would depict his own family tragedy…

But whether in the play or in life, whether in 1890 when it was first written, or ten years later in 1900, Tolstoy did not find the courage to decisively end the life of the manor owner.

Even from the compromise of will, the play only describes the protagonist being completely helpless, raising his hands and praying to God, hoping that God can help him and end his inner conflict.

...]
The preface is about two thousand words, half of which comes from Zweig and the other half is written by Gu Lu, who tells what Tolstoy encountered.

The literary giant has certain limitations, that is, "overestimating the knowledge reserve of readers", as if Zweig did not explain what Tolstoy encountered in the preface at all, as if he assumed that everyone knew it. Gu Lu made up for this point. Tolstoy encountered a triple torture of marriage, the world, and religion in his later years.

First of all, there is the earliest and most consistent awakening of peasant consciousness. Tolstoy's writings are more inclined towards the peasant class, but he himself cannot completely break away from the manor landlord class.

Another issue is marriage. Under the instigation of his male students, Tolstoy wanted to leave his property to the people, and because of this he had a fierce quarrel with his wife, Beers.

I won’t say much about the Orthodox Church expelling Tolstoy from the church. Anyway, in his later years, this great writer really wanted to pray to God for a solution.

"It's concise and to the point, and the cause and effect are clear. I remember Professor Chen's research, and Teacher Gu was deeply influenced by Japanese literature." Professor Tian commented, "In fact, he also knows a lot about the literature of the bear country."

It is easy to look up the biography of a famous writer, but if you are not very interested in the writer, you will not go into it in depth.

No, Professor Tian stopped halfway through because the fourth act of the script written by Gu Lu was too horrifying.

For example, "Forget about the Gospel. The priests have long turned it into brandy, which makes people dull. ... No, Leo Tolstoy, the gap between the exploited and the exploiters, between the master and the slave, can no longer be bridged by the Bible." "Do you really believe that with bombs and revolvers, you can eliminate evil in the world? ... I repeat, it is a hundred times better to suffer for your beliefs than to kill for your beliefs."

The debate was so intense that it was like a chain reaction of dozens of vehicles or a collision of two tanks. All the topics about Tolstoy's thoughts and the situation in the bear country at that time were thrown out at once.

It was like a string of firecrackers, exploding with crackling sounds in Professor Tian's brain. He had to build a stage in his mind.

I opened the complete works of Tolstoy published by People's Education Press, but this posthumous work was not included. Then I opened the complete works in the original Russian version, published by LENIZDAT (Leningrad).

Many of Tolstoy's short stories on religion were not included in the collection. The booklet specifically explains that "although it (The Light Shining in the Darkness) was performed at the Moscow Opera House, it lacked the fourth act, so it was not included."

Fortunately, the brochure gives the route. If you are interested, you can go to leotolstou.net to check it out. Professor Tian logged in and watched the first three acts...

How did Tolstoy die? At the age of 82, he wanted to make a change by cutting himself off from his current environment, so he left home—unfortunately, he died of pneumonia ten days later.

After reading the first three acts and the fourth act of the sequel, Gu Lu’s writing feels more like a sigh for the literary giant.

Tolstoy in the sequel was enlightened: "Behind all inaction is nothing but the cowardice of the soul."

Tolstoy took action and gained something that would never be given to him again - "peace".

The motivation for many secondary creations and fan fictions is to give the original characters a relatively good ending to ease the pain. Zweig's original intention was the same, and he completed it with a very profound proportion and understanding of Tolstoy.

Therefore, Professor Tian was shocked after reading the book. The great writer who wrote Resurrection, War and Peace, and Anna Karenina was able to stay alone with God in peace.

"Those who admired the great man often stood between him and his mission, and he had to stay away from those who were closest to him... This sequel alone is worthy of being written into a textbook."

Professor Tian himself is not a fan of Tolstoy's books, which can be seen from the fact that he did not know much about Tolstoy.

If you are a fan of Tolstoy, you will surely burst into tears after watching this work. It is not an exaggeration at all.

"Teacher Gu has such a high level of literary accomplishment. He can write best-selling books and create works like this. He is a genius."

Professor Tian believes that this book cannot be translated casually and requires a lot of preparation. She wanted to be as famous as Professor Darcy before, but now she has a sense of responsibility to translate a good work completely.

Professor Tian thought that one week was a bit too much time. Even though there were only 17,000 words, the time was tight if we had to translate every word.

If you are beaten, you must stand at attention. If you make a mistake, you must admit it. She called Director Zhao.

The call was connected and Professor Tian explained the situation.

"No problem. I told you to hand it over to me by the end of January." Director Zhao asked uncertainly, "Professor Tian, ​​you said that because of the article, the translation needs to be more meticulous."

"Is it because the article is difficult to translate, or is there some other reason?" Director Zhao had read Overnight Genius and Immortal Fugitive, and after reading them he could clearly feel that the article was good.

But this time the sequel... Director Zhao finished reading Kennedy in 1994 - he was completely confused.

In addition, Professor Tian, ​​who was in charge of translation, called, so Director Zhao asked this question.

"If Tolstoy's original play, "The Light Shining in the Darkness," is rated 98 points, then Mr. Gu's sequel can reach points. It is so wonderful that we should treat it more carefully," Professor Tian replied.

Such an exaggerated evaluation? Director Zhao naturally chose to believe it. After hanging up the phone, he muttered to himself, "It seems that this time He Wen can at least be as good as a panda."

In fact, Professor Tian did not notice an explosion point, which was also deliberately hidden by Gu Lu. This is also what Gu Lu himself thinks is Zweig’s stroke of genius!
Gu Lu got off the bus, hiding himself. It is better for outsiders to take the light rail when they come to the foggy city, because many tourists will vomit when they take a taxi...

This happened to the online ride-hailing car he took. The previous passenger vomited. Then the driver complained about him from the moment he got in the car to the moment he got out.

I don’t know if the driver would be happier if he told it out loud. Anyway, Gu Lu was smiling in his heart while beating the wooden fish.

Gu Lu looked at the navigation and found the destination. There were as many hot pot restaurants as convenience stores in Fog City, but there were relatively few hot pot restaurants in Sijiucheng. The other party specifically chose "Old Sijiucheng Authentic Hot Pot Lamb".

Gu Lu didn't know what to say. If he was a native of the city, there was no reason for him to come to the Fog City to eat copper pot. What's more, he was just a native of the Fog City who was studying in the city. He would not miss this taste when he returned to his hometown.

The two met at the door of the store, and the other recognized his former classmate immediately. He said, "You are often on the hot search. Basically, as soon as you release a new book, you can see your appearance on the Internet. Hahaha, it feels like there is a filter on the Internet."

"What you said is slanderous!" Gu Lu said that he never uses any filters when he goes online, and he is just naturally handsome.

Dou Ke had booked a table in advance, and after sitting down, he asked Gu Lu to order the dishes. The latter said, "As long as it's meat, anything is fine."

"Mutton roll, beef roll, and chicken roll, two of each, Brother Gu, do you think there's anything you like?" Dou Ke muttered as he picked at the dishes, "If not, let's eat first."

While waiting for the dishes to be served, the two went to get the dipping sauce. The copper pot was about to get some fermented tofu and sesame paste.

By the way, there is a survey on the Internet about how to anger XX people. Among them, people in Fog City order Yuanyang when eating hot pot and use sesame sauce as dipping sauce...

When I returned with the dipping sauce, the copper pot was already steaming hot.

The two sat and chatted for a while.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is quite good. There are many old black-and-white photos of the old city on the wall. There is a rickshaw on the wall of the reception room when you enter the door. You can tell at a glance that the per capita cost is over 150 yuan.

"Brother Gu, do you think I have changed a lot?" Dou Ke said, "Although I am really not as good as Brother Gu."

"Your facial features haven't changed much since high school," Gu Lu replied.

His nickname is Tadpole, and it is indeed a correct nickname. His skin is getting darker and darker. On the one hand, it is due to his natural skin color, and on the other hand, it is due to running outdoors for a long time.

"It's getting darker, darker." Dou Ke sighed, "There's nothing we can do about this bird's work."

The food was served and Dou Ke poured tea into the pot.

During the dinner, Dou Ke shared his work, which he called "muddling around", and he met many weird clients and also mentioned some weird requests.

Gu Lu also listened attentively, just like the online taxi driver before him. There is a type of people who like to express the things that are not going smoothly in their lives, and they will not feel good after talking about it.

Saying the same thing ten times still makes you angry.

Why do you tell others about it? You want others to agree that “my life is not easy”.

The soup in the copper pot became cloudy, and the two had almost finished eating. Gu Lu saw that it was time, so he returned the time capsule to Dou Ke and started filming.

"It's really a trouble for you, Brother Gu." Dou Ke said with a smile, and opened the envelope. Three questions appeared in front of the camera.

[1. Is it closer to Fudan University?
2. Have you ever had an exciting, passionate, youthful and energetic campus romance?
3. Have you joined the etiquette model agency? ]
"Hahaha, you were so funny when you were in school." Dou Ke's laughter was a bit harsh because Gu Lu could hear the mockery in it.

King Gollum was not wrong in hearing this, he was just laughing at Dou Ke because he failed to answer any of the three questions.

"I didn't pass the Mathematical Olympiad, so I was admitted to an ordinary university. I spent my college life idling around. The environmental engineering major is a fucking pit. Now I'm hanging around with my dad." Dou Ke said as he lit a cigarette.

He was smoking a Liquan cigarette, and as the cigarette was lit, Dou Ke crumpled up the note with the three questions written on it into a ball with great force, as if he was resentful of something.

"Do you want to smoke?" Dou Ke handed over a cigarette, but the latter refused as he didn't smoke.

"It seems that I can only benefit myself this year." Dou Ke said, "If I smoke this cigarette myself, it will only benefit myself. If I give it away, it will benefit others."

"That makes sense. By the way, I remember my uncle seemed to be in the home appliance repair business, right?" Gu Lu had this memory. The air conditioner in the classroom broke down, and it was Dou Ke who asked Dou's father to repair it for free.

"Yes, there is no future in home appliance repair. I don't even dare to tell you about my profession when I go out on a blind date." Dou Ke said, "Plus, I often encounter plague gods during the repair process, so I just work one day at a time."

It was a bit exaggerated. From Gu Lu's point of view, it was good to have a skill to make a living. Besides, the salary of a repairman was not bad, so the blind date market should not be bad.

I don't understand why Dou Ke is so hostile to the repairman. Anyway, Gu Lu turned off the camera first, feeling that the following conversation would definitely not be suitable for release.

"Today he asked me to add fluorine to the air conditioner. It's very dangerous to climb the outer wall, so I didn't go." Dou Ke said, "I asked him to lend me 100,000 yuan so that I could start a small business, but he disagreed. Being a repairman is dangerous and tiring. Am I going to do this for the rest of my life? I don't plan for the future at all..."

Okay, Gu Lu understood that the old classmate’s resistance to the repairman came from his father.

Gu Lu listened at the side, acting as an emotional trash can. His hands were not idle either. When Dou Ke finished the tea in his cup, he refilled it. When he finished, he refilled it again. His movements were comparable to those of the Haidilao waiters.

"Borrowing money is not giving it directly."

"I'm the only child in the family. I don't understand why they didn't agree."

"His nephew came to borrow money, 50,000 yuan, and he gave it to him without saying a word. Is a nephew closer than a biological child?"

……

After talking for a few minutes, Dou Ke suddenly grabbed Gu Lu's hand, and I thought he was going to borrow money the next second.

Unexpectedly, Dou Ke said, "Brother Gu, please stop pouring. You've already poured me eight cups of tea. My stomach is bloated."

"Really? The main reason is that I don't know how to comfort people, so I can only pour some tea." Gu Lu said.

Dou Ke got up and went to the bathroom.

Gu Lu looked at the other person's hurried back and waited for him to come back and sit down.

They had almost finished eating and Dou Ke was ready to pay.

"Tadpole, do you look down on your uncle's work?" Gu Lu's question seemed casual, but it startled Dou Ke.
