Chapter 531 Blame me
Chapter 531 Blame me
It probably wasn't triggered by listening to the conversation of the workers on the construction site while eating lunch boxes, because based on Gu Lu's reading range, there is no work of this type in the Nobel Prize in Literature series.
Was that the content of the conversation on the way to send the blind friend? Gu Lu seemed to have grasped something, but it was not obvious at the moment.
"Yes, yes. It's a masterpiece of irony, as long as it's not too political."
"Could it be that Goldfinger has entered its second phase? It's The Architect of the World and Norman. In fact, The Lord of the Rings can also be called a fantasy work of literature."
Turn to literary!
Also, in the field of best-selling, he is one of the best living authors worldwide.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain.
King Guru returned very happy with his unexpected harvest. He was so happy that he didn't know how to type. So he took a day off.
Let me talk about his work progress. He has finished writing the preface to the German version of The Little Prince and two-thirds of To Live.
The career line was also progressing well. With the support of the Strict Education Committee, "The Man Who Wrestled with Demons" was published in an orderly manner. The article was selected for the textbook and the book was to be published. The door to the German market was opened, just like the soldiers who invaded Aachen that year.
In the evening, I chatted on the phone with my girlfriend for a long time.
They chatted until they were sleepy, and said goodnight to each other. Then Gu Lu took his phone and watched some videos to keep himself from falling asleep.
In fact, “going to sleep” does not mean falling asleep immediately. After all, it is really happy to be able to fall asleep in seconds.
Gu Lu had a lot of thoughts. Sometimes he wondered whether the "American Isolation Plan" would be successful, and sometimes he wondered whether he should propose. His eyes were never still.
He always browses the Internet, after all, he doesn't need to use a VPN.
France and Da Ying were discussing which one was more exciting, "Who Moved My Cheese" or "Mr. Toad Goes to See a Psychologist", and as they were talking they started to make personal attacks.
"Brother, you guys just want to curse each other, my novel is just a cover."
Gu Lu thought.
Then there is the Bear Country, which is also quite interesting. Enro Augustus Club is a website similar to Douban, but more private and niche. It is an invitation-only website, similar to the early days of Zhihu, and most of the members are people from the publishing industry.
There is a debate going on right now about who is better, Tolstoy or Dostoevsky, and a vote has even been launched.
That was a lot of quoting from classics, and Gu Lu enjoyed it very much.
Tolstoy's novels are very strong, ridiculously strong. Tolstoy's novels are classics, and his short stories are even more powerful. Gu Lu has read so many books. Tolstoy, Borges and Joyce are all language geniuses. Personally, he prefers Tolstoy.
At present, the voting ratio of Tuo and Tuo is roughly 50-50. Gu Lu was about to poop, so he picked up his tablet and went to the toilet.
I came back to look at the votes and it became 40:60, with Tuo temporarily leading. The fundamental reason is that long stories are more important than short stories in the hearts of most people.
"I should have known not to go to the toilet. Look, I'm already behind." Gu Lu said, "In that case, let's find a chance to propose. Tuo Lao won. Tuo Lao has a work called "The Gambler". It's time to take a gamble."
"In the long run, War and Peace and Resurrection are not inferior to Crime and Punishment and Idiot, right?"
"Why did Tolstoy..."
He didn't even know when he fell asleep.
Suddenly, Gu Lu went to eat at the construction site again.
The rest of the time, try to write.
For this reason, I turned down unimportant activities.
What is unimportant? This is field trips, that is salons, and also visits to poor primary schools in rural areas.
The Writers Association organized a group of writers to visit poor schools. Some kind-hearted people donated some money, but most of them came back to write two articles (poems). It can have a certain publicity effect, but it is very small. It feels quite useless. Gu Lu, who took the time to go once, will not go again.
There are three important activities, we will talk about them when the time comes.
May is a busy month. After talking about Gu Lu, let's talk about other people.
"Congratulations, Lao Chen. Germany has come full circle."
"It was featured in the Global Times and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. You are quite capable."
"Hey, didn't you bring us some little gifts?"
"When will you take us on an international tour?"
After returning to China, several friends I met congratulated and teased me. The people in the box included professors from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, newspaper presidents, and editors-in-chief of publications.
This includes Editor-in-Chief Kang of People's Literature, who is also an outstanding scholar of Gu studies. His main achievement was leading the publication of the short story collection "The Dwarf".
There are about forty or fifty short stories by Aimee serialized by Gu Lu in People's Literature. It would be too many to publish a collection, so they need to be selected, and the order of the short stories is also important.
"Traveling around the world is just a small matter. Let's all study Gu's studies," said Professor Chen.
"Really?" Editor-in-Chief Yi saw that the other party was serious. He was the editor-in-chief of Huang Zhong, 55 years old, eager to make progress, and worked overtime every day.
“Naturally, in the second half of the year, schools in France, Britain and Germany will jointly organize a study tour,” Professor Chen said, adding that he could see this when he went abroad this time.
There are many interested professors abroad who are eagerly waiting for him to take the lead. With a little effort, Professor Chen has gained a lot.
The main reason is that Gu Lu's writing style is too counter-intuitive, especially since Professor Chen has presented various pieces of evidence to prove that Gu Lu is likely to have inspiration first (the borderless version), and then supplement his knowledge based on the inspiration.
"..." Editor-in-Chief Yi thought for a moment and sighed, "Forget it. I have read very few works by Teacher Gu. They do not fit my reading aesthetic."
It is normal that if you are used to reading a certain type of book, you will not be able to read other types. It is just like if you are used to watching short videos, it will be difficult to watch long videos.
"Reading aesthetics—" Editor-in-Chief Kang suddenly asked, "Is Mr. Gu's new book really about the scar literature of the 1970s and 1980s? It feels like the span is too big."
Editor-in-Chief Yi also has similar questions.
"When does Mr. Gu's work not have a large span?" Professor Chen asked in return.
"In the past, it was just a span of subject matter. If what you said, Lao Chen, is really right, it is a span of age," said Editor-in-Chief Kang.
"There is no age barrier for genius," Professor Chen said.
"I read the news. Teacher Gu's new book is to cheer up the graduating students and all students. It can't be scar literature. It's the wrong genre." Someone said.
“It seems to be this news.”
Both sides have a point.
The reason for capturing the debate in this box is to indirectly show that Gu Lu's new book has attracted a lot of attention before it was released.
Under the high attention, a week or two passed by unknowingly, and Gu Lu stayed at home and wrote.
At least I managed to submit the manuscript on time, so I worked very hard.
Fugui, Niu Fugui,...
"Just plagiarizing the text makes me uncomfortable." Gu Lu quickly sent the hot potato to the publishing house's email address, then turned off the computer. He needed at least a few days to calm down.
