Chapter 457 Are you convinced?

When a person doesn't want to continue the conversation and is not good at expressing himself, he will throw the question back, which is what Lin Shu thought at the time.

In her heart, she has equated "disobedience" with "mother's sadness". At the same time, she knows that her father has cheated on her and her mother has made great efforts to support the family.

The more she knew, the less she dared to tell her mother what was in her heart. Lin Shuyi envied Sister Caiwei, who was so independent and self-reliant, had a clear plan for her career, and could easily convince Aunt Qi.

Lin Shuyi nodded, "Let me think about it again, and think about the wording." She asked again, "Sister Caiwei... do you have your own ideal type?"

"Yes." Qi Caiwei did not shy away from saying, "He is a well-read and artistic man. He knows a lot and is not stingy in sharing. I first saw the wider world through his mouth and eyes, and saw the world he saw."

“How specific.”

"Of course." Qi Caiwei's eyebrows and eyes softened. If the people in the troupe saw it, they would be surprised that this hardworking [Dancing Robot] could have such an attitude. "My high school classmate."

Looking at the other person's expression, Lin Shuyi suppressed her gossiping mood and asked, "Why haven't you contacted me?"

"Hmm..." Qi Caiwei didn't seem to have thought about it herself. Was it out of anger? Maybe at the beginning, but now——

Thinking about the fact that I still write a reading note every week, maybe it’s just a habit... right?

"Maybe I like him in my memory. I'm homesick and afraid that contacting him will destroy his past." After saying this, Qi Caiwei suddenly seemed relieved.

She thought that she could actually say this calmly. Everything about him was hidden in a corner of her heart.

"Sister Caiwei, it seems that you really like your Bai Yueguang! When you talk about him, there is a smile on your face." Lin Shuyi said.

"If you say so, it's okay." Qi Caiwei smiled. In fact, for the first time, she realized that when she was no longer ecstatic about hearing the news about Gu Lu... she was also happy for herself.

It was raining and snowing outside the Carloff Cafe, but the air-conditioning inside made it so you didn't feel cold. Passersby were coming and going outside in the rain and snow.

The news said that the whole of Moscow was filled with joy and happiness, but there was no sign of that at the moment.

The performance at the Bolshoi Theatre more than a month in advance has little to do with ordinary people. Even if the ticket for a performance is cheap, musicals, ballets, dance dramas and concerts are really not the first choice of entertainment for the general public.

Sleet fell softly, upon rich and poor alike, and the sky grew dark.

The next day, the weather was not very good. There were two performances at the Moscow Theater (also known as the Bolshoi Petrovsky Theater). In the morning, the famous Bear Country conductor Valery Gergiev was the conductor. He was the conductor of the London Symphony Orchestra and was praised by people in the music world as the "Conducting Tsar".

The Grand Theater Orchestra and Chorus performed "Bacchus", which corresponded to the Italian celebration gift "Freshendi Family Marseille Red Wine".

Italy likes to do this, and it is called a celebration gift. Even when the head of state gives a national gift during a diplomatic event, it is dry red. Look, isn't this selling at a high price? In comparison, China's national gift porcelain is a little worse in terms of business.

Gu Lu did not attend this show. He was invited to attend the performance of "Light Shines in the Dark" which would be performed by the drama troupe of the Petrovsky Theater in the afternoon. Deputy Minister Yan and others from the Chinese Celebration Group would be present.

After listening to the morning show, the audience was very excited and shocked. The Italian celebration team stood up and applauded for more than a minute, including Qi Caiwei and her friend Lin Shuyi, the latter's face was a little red with excitement.

"It's amazing, simply... indescribable. I thought Mr. Valery Gergiev would never take up the baton again after becoming the artistic director of the Mariinsky Theatre," said Lin Shuyi.

"Probably not, but this time it's the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Bear Country, so it might be an official invitation," Qi Caiwei guessed.

"It's great to be able to get the tickets," said Lin Shuyi.

There was a hint of amusement in Qi Caiwei's eyes. If the two of them weren't from the Grand Theater Dance Troupe, and if Lin Shuyi wasn't good with money, they wouldn't be able to buy the tickets at all.

Lin Shuyi smiled guiltily and used the old method to change the subject by asking a rhetorical question, "Oh, yeah, the one who will be performing this afternoon is our troupe's senior?"

The Bolshoi Theatre (Moscow Bolshoi Theatre) is the highest temple of ballet and musical drama in the Bear Country, and its ballet, classical dance and drama troupes are naturally top-notch, and are outstanding even in the whole of Europe.

"It is said that Mr. Varvara will play the leading male role, and Ms. Galina and Mr. Hatch will also play important roles." Qi Caiwei said, the expectation in her words was superficial.

Hearing this, Lin Shuyi's expectations were raised even higher. The troupe's male and female principals, plus the Mariinsky Troupe's male principal, the lineup was unprecedented and astonishing!
As for where is King Snorlax himself?

I didn't have time to go yesterday, so this morning Gu Lu went to the Dostoevsky Museum and spent 14000 rubles to hire the curator to give a tour.

The curator gave very good explanations and was very familiar with Tuo Lao's famous works.

Talking introduces a stronghold and brings in a lot of emotions.

"Dostoevsky is praised as the depth of the literature of the Bear Country because he can always write about the most despicable and at the same time the most real things in human nature," said the curator.

The two came to the exhibition hall on the second floor. Gu Lu knew that the curator's evaluation had the first half of the sentence, that Tolstoy represented the breadth of the literature of the Bear Country.

"My only worry is whether our lives tomorrow will be worthy of the suffering we endure today. This description in Crime and Punishment plus a little bit is my life." The curator's words are full of emotion, "I am not only worried that suffering cannot fulfill life, but also worried that the knowledge I have learned cannot be exchanged for social status."

The curator is in his sixties and he used his own example, which was particularly convincing.

He added: "Dostoevsky is not a writer who is completely disappointed with human nature. He understands human nature, neither praises nor belittles it, so he can write the most useful things in the most straightforward and calm way."

The curator used a quote from The Brothers Karamazov as an example: "In most cases, people, even bad people, are much more immature and naive than we imagine them to be. In fact, the same is true of ourselves."

The museum is not big. If you just walk around and take photos, it will probably take about ten minutes to finish the whole process. However, Gu Lu followed the curator and stopped many times, and the whole process took two hours.

"If you have a strong interest in Dostoevsky, you can go to the museum in St. Petersburg," said the curator.

This former residence in Moscow is actually the hospital where Dostoevsky was born, and the museum in St. Petersburg is Dostoevsky’s former apartment, where many of his famous works were created.

"If I have the chance to pass by St. Petersburg, I will definitely go." Gu Lu agreed.

Without triggering the synthesis sequence, "World Architect" is indeed impossible. So it is basically confirmed that each writer can only draw one book.

At present, Edogawa Ranpo, Wang Zengqi, Saint-Exupéry, Higashino Keigo, Yu Hua, Bradbury...

Don’t panic, because there are so many great writers out there.

Gu Lu feels that this trip is worthwhile. There is a lot of knowledge. You may not understand much by yourself, but you will gain more insights through the emotional explanations of professionals.

Gu Lu even wanted to go home and read "Crime and Punishment" again.

"Let's publish Ove when we get back, and then it will be Matsuko and To Live. There is one more book left for the depressing trilogy, so we need to keep working on it... Wait, that's not right!" After School also belongs to Keigo Higashino, and he later drew the Suspect, proving that they can only publish one book together from different authors.

"Then why didn't it trigger? I had the complete works of Zweig on my bookshelf in my previous life. The curator just mentioned so much information about Dostoevsky and quoted his works. It must have triggered it." Gu Lu scratched his head, unable to figure it out.

A few years ago, Gu Lu proposed a conjecture that the books he synthesized and triggered came from his own bookshelf before he traveled through time in his previous life. After a few years of testing, his conjecture was basically true, that is, the more than 3,000 books.

The only explanation he gave himself later was that the synthesis sequence could not be triggered abroad. Thinking about it carefully, he had been to Neon so many times and it had indeed not been triggered.

Gu Lu currently has several thousand books in his study, and he is just thinking that if he has the chance to come again... Never mind, he can't always encounter good things.

"Goldfinger has national boundaries?!"

He had no choice but to find a random restaurant to eat. Then Gu Lu stood on the roadside for a while, and a black Lada drove over. This was a vehicle prepared by the Russian diplomatic unit for guests, and it was used by foreign guests who had recently arrived in Moscow.

"It's almost time to go to the theater."

"Okay, please fasten your seat belt, sir. Warm reminder, sir, I haven't drunk." The Russian driver knew a little Chinese, stepped on the accelerator, and the car started moving.

Why is there this warm reminder? Gu Lu didn't understand, and he didn't dare to ask.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Gu Lu arrived at the Bolshoi Theatre with an invitation letter in hand.

"Did you enjoy your stay in Moscow?" asked Salikov.

"Very good." Gu Lu responded.

When checking tickets, I met the writer I met in the Three Tolstoy Salons yesterday. In fact, Gu Lu couldn't remember his name. The main reason was that the name of the Mao Bear was a bit difficult to pronounce, and they communicated in English, so Gu Lu only remembered his appearance and pronunciation.

The person who greeted me was "Big Brain Mensa". I walked in and saw Gu Lu sitting in the second row.

Don't get me wrong, the second row is the best seat. The first row is closer to the stage, which limits the overall view of the stage, so it is currently empty.

After I sat down, I met yesterday’s “Bearded Jin”, who was also a writer participating in the salon and was sitting in the third row.

"Today's performance is the sequel to the work you wrote, Mr. Gu?" Edward Welkin gave a thumbs up after receiving the other party's affirmation, "Mr. Gu, you are a brave man."

"I have always wanted to write a sequel to The Brothers Karamazov, but I have never dared to start because I think I have accumulated a lot of experience." Oksana Vasyakina.

Who is speaking again? It seems to be Jin Jinna. Gu Lu thought of these people in his heart.

Yesterday, they all objected to giving Tolstoy's last signed book to Gu Lu. It was reasonable, after all, they hadn't read "Escape to God" either, so at the moment, they wanted to see why Yuri would take me seriously for writing a sequel. Could it be because you represent China? Just because China is so powerful... It seems like there is really no solution.

Therefore, we can see that Big Brain Mensa, Bearded Bearded King and others opposed it in their hearts, but they did not speak ill of it. This represents different people.

"Even if The Brothers Karamazov is not finished, it is still a masterpiece and indeed needs to be treated with caution," said Gu Lu.

"The play 'The Light Shines in the Dark' was written by Tolstoy himself and needs to be treated with caution," said Oksana Vasyakina.

"Of course, I looked up a lot of information." Everyone knows that Gu Luwen made thorough preparations before copying, he was just worried that if a reporter interviewed him about similar content, he would not be able to answer and be exposed.

For example, if a reporter asks you about Spanish history, you can't be completely clueless, right? After all, you were able to write The Immortal Fugitive.

Oksana didn't say anything more. Think about it, if you knew that a young foreigner had continued to write Dream of the Red Chamber, your mentality would be the same as Oksana's. This has nothing to do with literary contempt, but is more primitive, the inertia of human thinking.

After a while, people sat down next to Gu Lu. On his left was Deputy Minister Yan, further back was a senior Russian cultural official, and on his right was the famous writer Yuri who had given him the book.

Yuri was able to sit in the second row not because he was a level better than the bearded and big-headed guy in the back row, but simply because he was the literary consultant for the play.

All the specially invited guests in the second, third and fourth rows entered, and the theater was officially opened.

Other audience members gradually entered the venue, and backstage, Varava and Galina were putting on makeup...

The Bear Country has been plagued by problems all the time, and there is no shortage of domestic issues either.

"Chairman Qi, the Communist Youth League wanted to cooperate with the Writers Association, but because it involved Teacher Gu Lu, the matter was transferred to us." Secretary-General Tian Mengge said to Vice Chairman Qi.

The Communist Youth League contacted the Writers Association for other cooperation.

The Communist Youth League originally supported the "New Fairy Tales" series, so conversely, the Writers Association must also take responsibility for the activities of the League.

So what exactly is the activity?

It is a relatively strong activity, directly targeting students. From the students' perspective, it is clearer.

Wu Jia's original name was Ren Jiawu. He was born in 10 and has two children, one older and one younger. The older one is 6 years old and about to graduate from primary school, while the younger one is years old and has just started first grade.

"Dad, are you a very great fairy tale writer?" the youngest son Ren Chuanliang suddenly asked.

Putting down his phone to reply to WeChat messages, Ren Jiawu said modestly, "I can't say I'm great, but compared with people of the same age, I'm still okay."

"Oh, that's what the comics call invincibility in the same level!" Ren Chuanliang summarized.

From the names of the five families and the children, we can actually tell that he is from the Wenshan branch of Renxing Yunnan Province, and his generation name is "Looking at the country, there is a scene, and the family is passed down for generations." However, he made money well, so he let his two children study in the city.

"Then is it possible to fight across levels?" Ren Chuanliang asked.

Invincible at the same level, fighting across levels, what kind of comics do you read? The five families frowned.

Not noticing his father's change of mood, Ren Chuanliang continued, "Then Dad, can you do me a favor?"

"What help?" The five families said immediately, "Just tell me if you need anything. Dad will definitely do whatever he can do."

"I told my classmates, 'Dad, you are a good friend of the great writer Gu Lu. Can you photoshop a photo for me of you and Gu Lu?'" Ren Chuanliang said.
