Chapter 507 The truth from many years ago
"The two teachers from Phoenix Legend regard Bilibili as a very important communication platform. So they planned to release the video." Gu Lu said, "So it's normal for them to win the award. I obviously didn't, so I won't take up a place."

President Lin's eyes revealed an "as expected" look. He had long expected that King Gollum would not accept the award.

Even though Phoenix Legend becoming one of the top 100 up-hosts has increased its value, Bilibili is actually the platform with the largest number of young people, and even a national group will not give up this publicity opportunity.

But Teacher Gu’s articles are included in elementary, junior high and high school textbooks, so there is no need for such publicity at all.

But knowing that it is impossible, why do we come here to propose it?
It’s to get over the threshold.

President Lin then said, "Then Mr. Gu Lu, can you be our award presenter?"

"After all, Mr. Gu and our bilibili have a special affinity," Lin said, "When we first started to build our platform, in 12, our website was first mentioned by official media, and it was Mr. Gu's video."

"Be the guest of honor..." Gu Lu thought about it and agreed, and asked, "Will I present the top 100 trophies?"

In this way, wouldn’t it be possible to know the top 100 list in advance?

"We have added 14 new annual awards to the Bilibili Awards Ceremony," Mr. Lin gave a brief introduction.

More than a dozen new awards have been added, including: Most Popular UP of the Year, Most Popular Barrage of the Year, Dark Horse UP of the Year, Best Work of the Year, Original Column of the Year, Overseas UP of the Year, Virtual UP of the Year, etc. The most popular award, which is also the most valuable annual award, is presented by King Gu Lu.

That's no problem.

Then, some granular alignment was carried out. At the end, Mr. Lin said he would treat us and asked what we wanted to eat.

Gu Lu refused directly. He used to like eating out, but after eating too much, he preferred to go home to eat. Even if he ordered the same takeout, he felt much freer when he went home to eat.

Pick up an electronic mustard tuber, and then sit cross-legged or on the carpet, whatever you want is much freer.

"Um... Teacher Gu." Mr. Lin suddenly hesitated.

After the serious matter was finished, why was the pretty sister hesitating? This was in stark contrast to her smart and capable image.

"I have a daughter who is a die-hard fan of yours, Mr. Gu." Mr. Lin said, "She knew that our department had contact with Mr. Gu Lu, so she asked me to send you something."

Oh I got it.

"She basically grew up reading Teacher Gu's novels. She would read each of his works over and over again." Ms. Lin didn't say anything more. When Gu Lu didn't close his account to recharge last year, her daughter was still Gu Lu's top friend.

"I can't accept anything that is too expensive," said Gu Lu.

"No, that's not appropriate." Mr. Lin took out a gift box from the small orange bag. From the orange color, he knew the bag was from Hermès.

In addition, even though Gu Lu’s work style has never been consistent, the promotional persona of the genius boy is consistent.

"She printed it herself using a 3D printer," Lin said. "She also did the computer graphics in the early stages."

In this case, it is indeed not expensive, but it is very thoughtful.

"Teacher Gu can open it now." said Mr. Lin.

Okay, suddenly it was time to open the gifts, and Gu Lu tore open the packaging.

Inside is an irregular hourglass, probably made of transparent resin, with a translucent moon on top and a big tree underneath.

Put it on the table and the red sand will start to flow.

"The Little Prince hourglass you made yourself?" Gu Lu was surprised. "Mr. Lin, how old is this little reader of mine?"

Ms. Lin looks to be only about 37 or 38 years old. Even if she gave birth to a child at the age of 24, the young reader would be no more than 15 years old.

Are children's hands-on abilities so strong nowadays? Even if the workmanship is a little imperfect and not as good as the peripherals in the Little Prince flagship store, it is still pretty good.

"At the age of 12, she liked to tinker with these things." Lin said with a little pride, and explained, "This hourglass completes a cycle every five minutes, and it seems there is a little surprise."

So, Gu Lu and Mr. Lin stared at the table.

When the red sand has flowed away, there seems to be a weight mechanism at the bottom, and there is even a circuit system inside. The red light shines out, and it looks very beautiful!
"It makes me look like I was just making up the numbers when I was twelve," Gu Lu commented. "I like this gift very much. Mr. Lin, please thank me for me."

"I don't know that she knows all this, but she has never liked plush toys since she was a child. She likes to tinker with circuits and 3D printing." Lin said, "I was worried about safety at the beginning, so I hired a professional electrician. Interest is the best teacher. She will figure it out on her own whenever she has time."

It’s very true, interest is a good teacher, and what’s even better is supportive parents.

Every time he encountered this situation, Gu Lu would think, I must become such a good parent in the future. Get rid of the past and rebuild an ideal family of my own.

After receiving a gift, Gu Lu definitely wanted to express his gratitude, so he navigated to the nearest bookstore and bought a set of works.

The price of "Gu Lu Complete Works" is 455. Gu Lu signed and wrote a message.

After finishing his work, Gu Lu also took a bus back home.

He has already obtained his driver's license, but is still a little afraid to drive. He plans to learn from the sports students and then calm down.

Because of the little gift from Mr. Lin's daughter, Gu Lu's brain was suddenly touched on the way home. It was not the echo of the golden finger, but the memory buried deep in his memory was triggered.

But until I returned home, the vague memory did not become clear.

So, Gu Lu came to the warehouse. It was about eight square meters, and the things were in a mess but in order.

Placed here are the sundries that were previously collected from the Fog City, as well as a number of small items used to purchase milk for synthesizing books.

It’s been a while since I did a major cleanup, so I’m sorting things out one by one.

About forty minutes later, the vague memories in Gu Lu's mind became clear.

That’s right! The reason why it feels familiar is because of this!

A crystal ball.

The little man stands in the middle, and when he shakes, the small shells and starfish inside will shake.

Gu Lu then shook twice, and the blue sea shook vigorously a few more times.

You can see a circle of childish words next to the little man: Gu Lu, I like you!

The text is blue, very similar to the blue liquid in the crystal ball, so there are only two ways to see it.

Either turn the crystal ball upside down or shake it vigorously.

The dusty memories are completely clear.

…It turns out that when she gave him the birthday gift, she also meant it as a confession of love.

I didn't think about what would happen if I had seen it then, because the past is the past, and Gu Lu has a girlfriend now, so thinking about it would only cause me trouble.

He just suddenly understood this, and the feeling of nostalgia made Gu Lu couldn't help but smile.

The next moment——【A romantic symbol】【The ultimate secret love】【The filming location of the adapted film and television drama becomes a tourist destination】

The cheat code is triggered and three labels appear.

There is no doubt that Gu Lu could instantly guess what work he had triggered.

"The ultimate secret love" is very clear with just this one label. What's more, adding a third label.

"Love Letter" by Shunji Iwai.

To be honest, after watching the movie, Gu Lu also wanted to visit Otaru, where the filming took place. Before the filming, this small town, which was almost only visited by locals, has now become a popular tourist attraction in Asia!
"If it's a romance symbol, is it Fujii Itsuki?"

Another question is that there is definitely no crystal ball in the book. So the triggering object must be something like "an object for confessing love".

"But... I'm about to write a serious novel, why is there a bestseller?" Gu Lu felt that he didn't need to worry about this book for now. If it really didn't work out, he could use it to promote the three northeastern provinces... and just shoot it into a movie.

There are many places in China where it snows, and as for implicit aesthetics, China has it all.

The only problem is that the tiger girls from the three northeastern provinces give people a stereotyped impression.

Think about it: "How are you?" "I'm fine" becomes "How are you?" "I'm getting old."...

Hahahaha, Gu Lu burst into laughter when he thought of this.

"Okay, it's nothing. Both novels and movies are created by atmosphere. Just like Otaru, it's not a romantic place at all, and it doesn't even match romance as a whole. But under Shunji Iwai's photography, it became one of the top three romantic snow scenes in movies."

That's right, Gu Lu's current idea is very dangerous. It was this thought that led to the filming of Love Letter in a small county in the three northeastern provinces. The post-10s who grew up watching the movie planted a seed in their hearts, namely the "subtle love" and "subtle girls" in the three northeastern provinces.

Don't underestimate the impact of movies, after all, there is a saying that movies are life movies. That is, a certain movie has a significant impact on you.

It was called "the biggest scam in the film industry" by the post-10 generation. Of course, this scam has not yet been implemented.

Gu Lu has watched both the movie and the novel of "Love Letter". The former is simpler and the theme is also very clear. For example, the male Fujii Tree has more words in the novel version, but the movie version is all from the memories of the female Fujii Tree.

Precisely because of his familiarity, Gu Lu was confident that he could synthesize it very easily.

There are more important things right now.

So the question is, how do you go from being a graduate student to an industry expert?
You can speak, right?
If you can speak, you can teach.

After 12 classes and three and a half months, Gu Lu added the word "linguist" to his title of writer.

There is one class per week, but it was delayed for two weeks because I went to Venice.

Quenya, Sindarin, Telerelin, Dark Elf and a series of other languages ​​are all explained clearly.

For example, Sindarin evolved from Quenya, with relatively simpler grammar and vocabulary, making it more suitable for daily communication, etc. These contents are all described.

At the same time, the richness of Middle-earth was presented to everyone.

As for the popularity on YouTube, it is in line with the law of the Internet, that is, nothing can attract netizens continuously. Therefore, from being followed by many people at the beginning, only a small number of netizens watched all twelve lessons.

It's very similar to many teaching videos. The video is very cluttered at the beginning, but becomes very short at the end.

For the next few days, linguist Gu Lu went between school, Cainiao Station and home.

What I brought back from Cainiao Station were piles of books.

Why do we use the unit "luo" to describe it? Because it is very heavy!

"I understand the meaning of 'If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight first'. I understand it deeply."

There was a pile of books in front of Gu Lu, including "History of the Evolution of English", "Evolution of Germanic Languages", "Migration of Languages", etc.

With the creation of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, he must have some of Tolkien's language skills in his mind. Otherwise, he would not be able to face the questions of professors in the Elvish language and in the Peking University classroom.

When it comes to creating one's own language, the knowledge Gu Lu has stored is completely sufficient.

But what about the direction of the Internet?

"I hate learning French. If I had half the talent of Gollum, I'd be much happier now."

"If he were to learn any language, wouldn't it be easy?"

"It's definitely not difficult for him to learn the language, but what's more difficult for him is to understand the history behind these languages."

"I am even more looking forward to the European chapter. I never thought there would be a novel that would create a written history. Gu Lu is a crazy genius."

……

Look, he has been hyped up as a rare genius that only appears once in a thousand years. How could it be possible if Gu Lu didn’t study hard?

In November, Gu Lu even lived up to the study intensity of a senior high school student.

What is this called? Try to accomplish what you boast about.

2020 passed while I was learning.

Although it is not yet New Year's Eve, the atmosphere of the New Year has already infected most people.

"I used to hate the Chinese New Year because being hungry without family members on ordinary days is more annoying than being hungry without family members on Chinese New Year." Gu Lu thought about it and thought that adults would be the same.

People who live paycheck to paycheck don’t have much money on weekdays, but having no money during the Chinese New Year will definitely exacerbate this feeling.

"Ah, I'm going to visit European countries next year... I still have to study hard." Gu Lu will work harder.

Of course, working in isolation is not a good idea, and being too closed off won’t help in making fast learning progress.

Gu Lu took a plane to the Magic City. Of course, he carried a small bag with books on his back. He felt that he might read a book for a while on the plane...

In early January, Bilibili’s awards ceremony was held at the Bank of Communications Qiantan 31 Performing Arts Center.

People holding mobile phone stands or photographic equipment can be seen everywhere at the scene.

What a big gathering of up masters! There are many acquaintances that Gu Lu knows, such as the top movie, Adou is back, and Director Ao, who are well-known in the game and movie categories.

There are also funny types such as Please Xiaoxiang and Funny Nestle. Of course, the more familiar ones are the food area up-loaders, because most of them appear on camera. However, the types such as Adou and the top of the movie have no habit of appearing on camera at all.

"There are so many people!" Gu Lu took a look.

In fact, there weren't that many people in the auditorium, probably only a few hundred people. Tickets for the awards ceremony were drawn by members or invited, and they were not available.

The reason why there are so many people is because many people are here to join in the fun and collect autographs. With so many big up masters and so many fans, of course they want autographs one by one.
