Gu Lu came to the center of the stage and the applause lasted for several seconds, reflecting the audience's recognition.
There's nothing wrong with it, it's all due to talent and hard work, plus billions of cheats.
The theater director, Sa Lin, spoke up, "Thank you, Mr. Gu Lu, for giving us such a wonderful performance."
"The wonderful stage is the result of the joint efforts of Mr. Varvara, Ms. Galina and other actors in the troupe." Gu Lu said truthfully, "The performance just now was so wonderful."
"No, sir, you can't say that. If it weren't for you, I would definitely not be able to play Mr. Tolstoy. It was you who gave me this opportunity. The glory must belong to you." Varvara was very humble.
Perhaps if you are not a Mao bear, you cannot understand the status of Tolstoy in the hearts of his compatriots. Just like if you are not a Chinese, it is difficult to understand the value of the three words "Zhou Shuren".
"Mr. Gu, please share a few words." The leading female character Galina also said.
Then just say a few words? Gu Lu looked around and found that the guests, actors and audiences were all looking at him.
After reading a lot of materials, the advantages of a plagiarist with a solid foundation became apparent. Gu Lu prepared for a moment and spoke without hesitation, "Many of Tolstoy's works of art reflect his self-consciousness. Sergei in "Family Happiness", Old Duke Shcherbatsky in "Anna Karenina", Ivan in "After the Ball", etc., all of them reflect the figure who is tearing himself apart."
After a pause, Gu Lu said, "Those who know Tolstoy's life will know that he spent most of his life on education and social activities. Of course, religious essays also took up most of his time. In fact, Mr. Tolstoy had very little time for creation."
One thing is that according to the information Gu Lu found in China, in Russia at that time, writing was a job that was looked down upon by the nobles. This is similar to the situation in the Qing Dynasty at the same time, when writing novels was also looked down upon by literati.
"I'm very curious. His writing can obviously have a huge impact on the country. He knows it himself and his students know it too. Why did he put it aside for a long time?" Gu Lu said. "The answer I found is what Mr. Tolstoy himself wrote in his book. He deeply criticized the 'evil' of Russian society at that time, but he could not eliminate it by preaching to fight evil with violence. He could not stop the violence of the 'evil' force from gradually expanding. Mr. Tolstoy doubted whether writing could save the country."
"I think no one at that time could give him an accurate answer. Fortunately, I live in the later era," Gu Lu said. "In the later era, all Russians and people all over the world know that Tolstoy's works are useful."
"'Escape to God' can also be our answer to Mr. Tolstoy," said Gu Lu. "You don't have to doubt yourself anymore. You can return to the embrace of God."
What a romantic angle to answer Tolstoy.
"Clap clap clap!"
Applause broke out, and the excited Yuri even stood up and applauded, blocking the audience behind him.
Big Brain Mensa pulled him aside and asked him to sit down, but he was so excited that it felt like there were steel bars in his legs. So he stood up later.
Bearded Jin murmured to himself, "The restrictions of the times are too cruel. I wish Mr. Tolstoy had seen this answer in the 19th century."
As he spoke, the bearded man sighed. He looked untidy, but he was surprisingly kind-hearted.
Another round of questions and answers was held on the stage, mainly discussing the writers' creative ideas. People found that Gu Lu had a very deep understanding of Tolstoy and even Russian literature.
No wonder it can be continued!
The more people think about it, the more reasonable it seems to them.
"If possible, Mr. Gu, please sell "Escape to God" to us. God has given me inspiration, and this completed play will become one of the most important dramas of the 21st century." Dean Salin said as the curtain was about to end.
"'Escape to God' is a gift from China to the Bear Country," said Gu Lu. "It doesn't cost anything to use it in the Bear Country."
"Oh my God, you are such a generous and kind person, thank you so much!" Salin gave her a hug.
Let me tell you, Gu Lu has a favorable impression of the Bear Country, far more than France, and the Russian politicians nodded silently on the side.
The country will not let you suffer any loss, Deputy Minister Yan thought silently. Mainly in this situation, the country will not let him suffer any loss.
Immediately afterwards, the Russian politician hugged Gu Lu and let official reporters take a few photos. The audience in the theater also evacuated in an orderly manner.
The crowd dispersed, and Gu Lu, who was pulled to take a photo, did not notice the familiar figure in the crowd. Perhaps he was no longer familiar with the figure, after all, several years had passed.
The people leaving the theater were discussing the performance, including Qi Lin and the others.
"Gu Lu... Speaking of this person, I remember that he didn't take the junior high school entrance exam or the college entrance exam. I heard from the teacher that when he was in elementary school, he pointed out the mistakes in the test paper. He also said: Wrong is wrong. I am not doubting the teacher, but I believe in the knowledge that the teacher taught me before. I believe in knowledge!" "Is this something an elementary school student can say?" Lin Shuyi concluded, "I feel that Gu Lu was born with cheats, and he is completely different from us."
Eh? Is this true? Qi Caiwei remembered that she had collected news about Gu Lu when she was in high school - didn't this happen in junior high school?
Seeing that the other party was stunned, thinking that there was something wrong with his words, Lin Shuyi quickly apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I said something strange, Gu Lu's book is still very good."
It’s just like myself when I was a student, caring a lot about whether my words would make others uncomfortable.
"Although Gu Lu uses cheats, he is also not under the pressure of the junior high school entrance examination and the college entrance examination. His life is incomplete. Ours is more complete." Qi Caiwei said with a smile.
"...I also don't think it's complete." Lin Shuyi said.
The two of them walked towards the dormitory while chatting and laughing. It was rare for the sun to appear in the sky of Moscow this month. Qi Caiwei had a very good life in the country of the bear.
……
Gu Lu decided to follow the diplomatic delegation and return to China the day after tomorrow to have a good time in the next two days.
"Dear Mr. Gu, do you want to go for a walk outside? Do you need a guide?"
After walking through the lobby, before I even stepped out of the sunflower pattern on the central tiles of the lobby, the lobby manager Andrew took the initiative to speak.
Uh - so enthusiastic? Gu Lu was surprised. When Andrew stayed at the hotel before, he was professional and serious. He was not like now, with his mouth wide open.
"I'm just strolling around," Gu Lu said, "I heard from Mr. Yuri that Moscow is very suitable for tourists recently."
"Dear Mr. Gu Lu, this is the case." Andrew said very enthusiastically, "In the evening, after ten o'clock, you can see the fiery flowers blooming in the sky. Red Square, the north gate of Weidenhan Park, the Sparrow Hill Observation Deck, and Victory Park are all very good viewing points."
Even Yuri's English has a Russian accent, but Andrew's English does not. It is very fluent. From Gu Lu's listening experience, it's just that... the prefix "dear" is a bit awkward.
Of course, after reading a lot of classic Russian literature, I know that this is a matter of language habits.
"If Mr. Gu needs me, I get off work at 7 o'clock and I can serve Mr. Gu at any time," said Andrew.
Oh, so it was to solicit business. Gu Lu thought it would be nice to have a local as a tour guide, so he asked the other party about the fee.
"How can I accept Mr. Gu's rubles?" Andrew said, "Mr. Gu is our country's eternal friend!"
For free? Such a strong sense of national honor? It was beyond Gu Lu's expectation.
The lobby manager's words immediately told Gu Lu the answer. He said, "'Escape to God' was published in the 'Truth Literature Magazine'. It was so wonderful. It was a pity that I couldn't get a ticket to the theater last night."
The next moment Andrew looked sad, "Poor saint Mr. Tolstoy, fortunately there is Mr. Gu Lu."
Yes, because of that article, Gu Lu was treated with courtesy.
Got a free tour guide, very enthusiastic.
Moscow was very lively at this time. Gu Lu gave up the plan of triggering the golden finger abroad and had a good time strolling around.
The activities on National Day vary from year to year. The Red Square concerts and festive fireworks shows are reserved and very traditional.
The locals know a lot. Various celebrations are held in Moscow's parks during the day.
There is a national history exhibition in Zaryakiye Park, a national exhibition in Vedhan Park, a concert in Gorky Park, a forest painting exhibition in Sokolniki Park, and a guided tour in Victory Park.
Gu Lu was recognized twice on the street, because he was in the newspapers of the Bear Country today!
