Chapter 539 The Enemy Knows Best
Chapter 539 The Enemy Knows Best
"Yes, Prime Minister" is in the back, no rush..."
Gu Lu sorted out the priority of his work in his mind, and then came to the conclusion that he did not have the time to participate in Professor Tong's research project again.
Professor Tong felt very sorry for it and even subconsciously wanted to suggest that he only need to be listed in name only, but reason prevented him from saying it out loud in the end.
His attitude is normal, because projects involving Gu Lu are no longer a priority for Peking University, but a national priority. Projects of experts from the six core think tanks are all national priorities.
To quote a phrase that often appears in fantasy novels: If you don't do scientific research, seeing him is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky; if you do scientific research, seeing him is like a mayfly looking at the blue sky.
Now back to the topic, let’s take a quick look at what Gu Lu will be busy with in the second half of the year——
I took half a month to go to Berlin. Two of my articles were selected into the public version of high school textbooks. They are excerpts from "Nietzsche" and "Kleist". I need two weeks to make some revisions.
Take a week or two to go to the bear country and participate in activities.
It is very likely that he will return to the Dukou District for two months to work on the construction of the "Gulu Paradise".
In addition, Gu Lu will have to stay for some time to choose a location for the filming of "Love Letter" which has already been purchased.
There are all kinds of miscellaneous things to do, and I have to attend seven or eight meetings.
Not to mention the two expert meetings of the major international diplomatic think tanks, there was also the meeting of the jury for the Pu Songling Short Story Award.
This was impossible to refuse. First, the Pu Songling Short Story Award was the first prestigious award that Guru King had ever won. In addition, he had written "New Interpretations of Liaozhai" and published a book. If he didn't give face to the organizer, he had to give face to Pu Songling.
No wonder Bei Dao used the word "net" to describe life in his poems.
Gu Lu felt tired just thinking about it.
Oh yes, because he was too busy, Gu Lu even refused the autographing event for the release of "To Live"...
On May 30th, King Guru was holding a list and making a cross-border phone call.
Gu Lu spent two or three days compiling the list, which was based on questions about the internal rules of the official institutions of Da Ying under the title "Yes, Minister".
The person who answered the phone was Wei Keduo.
The two of them asked and answered questions and were busy for the whole afternoon.
"Mr. Jonathan drank too much milk and has diarrhea. Has he become stupid?"
"A Chinese who has no idea about our country's system invites such a person to write a book? He must be crazy."
Wei Keduo hung up the phone. He didn't feel tired because Home Secretary Jonathan had transferred him to a new position, where he was only responsible for assisting writers in their creations. Compared to his previous job, the new job was too simple.
He was just a little annoyed because the questions Gu Lu asked were stupid. Wei Keduo poured himself a cup of coffee. He liked to drink coffee with sugar, but there was no sugar. Wei Keduo thought about it and put the cup aside.
It's strange, because Vicodo himself doesn't eat sweets normally.
“Who arranged the Prime Minister’s schedule?”
"The Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of No Matter What, I understand."
"So does the Prime Minister have absolute power?"
Look at it yourself, what stupid questions are these? Isn't that known to everyone? I picked up the newspaper on the table and looked around at my colleagues. They looked very busy. Wei Keduo cannot work from home, even though his work can be done at home.
The Times selected the 21 most influential writers in Europe in the st century
Gu Lu is the only Chinese writer in the top 30 of the list.
Comment: Gu Lu had a profound influence on Britain, France, Norway and Finland. He respected and appreciated the cultures of other countries, which is why he was able to create works that are so popular in other countries. He is a miracle of Asian literature...
Yes, the big ying has already started to praise. According to the Times ranking, there are more than 20 Nobel Prize winners, more than 40 Goncourt Prize winners, and five Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tale Award winners.
The ranking is quite valuable. Let's put it this way. There are five Asians on the list, including Kenzaburo Oe, who won the Nobel Prize in 94 and ranked 73rd, and Shut Up, who won the Nobel Prize in 12, ranked 49th. The strongest runner-up, Haruki Murakami, ranked 88th.
"This list is a joke. What does Gu Lu know? 'Mr. Toad Goes to the Psychologist' is a popular psychology work used worldwide. He just used The Wind in the Willows as a reference. If he used The Wizard of Oz, it would be an American story."
"The Cthulhu series is even more ridiculous, and it is clearly an insult to Weymouth. Just like the dissonant notes in a smooth piano piece, the Big Ying does not have such a strong atmosphere of discrimination, let alone such a strong religious atmosphere. The background is more like America."
Wei Keduo criticized Gu Lu in his heart. His dislike for Gu Lu was not groundless. In a sense, Wei Keduo really understood the Cthulhu series.
According to his opinion, this officially commissioned work, which is about the political arena of the British Empire, is a 100% failure.
"Oh yeah, if he fails, what if he puts the blame on me?"
Wei Keduo, who had always been blamed, was shocked, but fortunately, phone recording was his passive skill.
It is not enough to just have the recordings. Gu Lu's questions and his responses must be organized into a document. Every time, it must be given to Mr. Jonathan to read...
Da Ying wanted to become a non-stick pan, and King Guru also recorded it and compiled it into a document. This provides a solid foundation for copywriting!
Gu Lu did get a lot of information. First of all, there is no "Administrative Affairs Department" in the novel, which is the department where the protagonist Humphrey works. According to what Wei Keduo said, the Administrative Affairs Department is probably a combination of the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of No Affairs.
A department without a specific area of responsibility, a department that can manage anything as long as the prime minister authorizes it, is the "relevant department" in Chinese legend.
"It's normal that the script has fabricated and fictionalized the department. After all, the plot content is quite outrageous." Gu Lu also found the similarities.
The civil service system of Da Ying is exactly the same as that of "Yes, Minister", which is divided into political officials and administrative officials. The former is the leadership team, and each prime minister will form one and appoint new ministers in various fields. They are definitely from their own party and exchange interests.
Therefore, the civil servants in Daying do not include these people at all. Civil servants are just administrative officials, just like our domestic civil servants who pass the examination to get the job. This group of people will not be affected by the change of prime minister and cabinet. At the same time, this setting is also the core of the work "Yes, Minister".
Jonathan is a political official, while Wikodo is an administrative official. If the prime minister fails to be re-elected, the former will step down in one year.
"In a sense, it's a very fair system." Gu Lu gave this evaluation after finishing today's phone call.
He slept soundly.
June 2021, 6 is an extraordinary Children's Day, and students will remember this day.
"The new work is finally out. I've been waiting for two or three months."
"Eh? It seems like Gu Lu is publishing books a little too fast. I haven't even finished reading The Lord of the Rings yet."
"No, this book was written by Gu Lu especially for us!"
