Chapter 549 Healing Ten Thousand People
Chapter 549 Healing Millions of People
Vice Chairman Qi is ready, ready to be praised.
"This..." is what I should do.
"So, Vice Chairman Qi, have you asked for the opinion of expert Gu himself?" Director Zhao asked.
Huh? To become a member of the Z Association or R University, such a good thing still needs to be discussed with them? Vice Chairman Qi did not understand. Isn't the promotion of political status the fame that everyone wants?
"I believe that Mr. Gu will be very happy about it, because he is one of the representative figures of Chinese writers abroad and has written many wonderful chapters. Minister Zhao, this is what I think. Becoming... can also better contribute to the rejuvenation of China." Vice Chairman Qi said.
Not only is he competing with the United Front Work Department for people, but he is also so self-righteous.
"Vice Chairman Qi, do you think that the construction of a major international diplomatic think tank cannot serve China's rejuvenation well?"
“No, no,” Vice Chairman Qi quickly waved his hands. How could he have any say in the six core think tanks?
"As early as five years ago, our department asked for the opinion of expert Gu," Director Zhao paused, staring straight ahead, as if recalling the scene at that time, "expert Gu did not agree."
Five years ago? Five years ago, Gu Lu was only 20 years old. Vice Chairman Qi realized that he still underestimated the value of China's number one genius.
But why didn't he agree? Vice Chairman Qi couldn't understand. If he was given this opportunity, he would be willing to live in a villa and drive a luxury car!
There were so many things he wanted to say, but in the end, they all converged into Vice Chairman Qi's confused look and the action of standing up. Of course, Director Zhao on the other end of the phone could not see these actions.
"Do you think a wonderful chapter can be written casually?" But Director Zhao could probably guess what the other party would think. He said solemnly, "It takes a long time to conceive. Teacher Gu Lu must always pay attention to overseas trends. Otherwise, how can he write a suitable "Who Moved My Cheese" for France, and how can he write "Mr. Toad Goes to a Psychologist" for Da Ying?"
"Not only do we need to pay attention, but experts also need to learn about and understand European and American culture and be familiar with other countries' culture in order to win enough respect," said Director Zhao.
That is indeed busy... Vice Chairman Qi heard from others that Gu Lu understood European and American culture, and even studied Old English very thoroughly by self-study. He also understood many languages and even created a language system later.
"That is to say," Director Zhao said sternly, "our United Front Work Department and the Foreign Affairs Department are reluctant to add more burdens to Expert Gu. Vice Chairman Qi, where does your Writers Association get this right?"
He added, "As for expert Gu's affairs, your Writers Association should not interfere in the future," and hung up the phone.
Vice Chairman Qi seemed to have his bones removed, slumped in the soft boss chair. Soon, he summoned Director Ye of the Mining Literature Research Office who came up with this bad idea.
After listening to this, Director Ye said, "Chairman Qi, this is a good thing for our Writers Association."
Hmm? Good news? Vice Chairman Qi motioned for the other party to continue.
"It's okay that we can't award the National Outstanding Children's Works Award, Lu Xun Award and Mao Dun Award to Teacher Gu Lu. Because Teacher Gu Lu even refused the offer from Union Medical College. So isn't it normal for him to refuse our awards?" Director Ye said.
"That makes sense - wait," Vice Chairman Qi thought of a bug, "but he is willing to accept foreign awards, and I heard that he has been nominated for the Andersen Fairy Tale Award twice. He may win the award this year or next year, and then..."
"Chairman Qi, it's not like Mr. Gu Lu has always refused to accept the award. We can say that Mr. Gu Lu refused to accept the award since he was 28, or since he was 30. After all, netizens like this kind of legendary story the most. The rumor that Mr. Lu Xun refused to accept the Nobel Prize still has a lot of likes on the Internet." Director Ye said. "Huh? Is this a rumor?" Vice Chairman Qi asked.
"Uh - I know the curator of the Lu Xun Museum. He went to verify this matter when he took office. The Nobel Prize in Literature judges want to help a Chinese writer win a candidate spot. Liu Bannong thinks Lu Xun is more suitable than Liang Qichao. That's about it." Director Ye said, "Chairman Qi, this is not important. What's important is that this is good news for us."
……
In August, the weather is hot. There is still one week to the beginning of summer heat in the lunar calendar.
The more I learn, the more I feel that ancient Chinese civilization was very advanced. Take the lunar calendar, for example, it is a yin-yang calendar. That is, it takes into account the changes of the sun and the moon, so the 24 solar terms are divided, which can be used to judge the weather very well. Compared with the Gregorian calendar (Western calendar), it is much more advanced. The latter makes the climate and time less and less related. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, mid-September should be autumn, but it is still hot. January and February should be spring, but it is cold.
The air conditioner in Gu Lu's house worked for 18 hours, but it still felt hot.
The heat in the air cannot be dissipated, and the popularity of "To Live", which has been on the market for two months, has weakened a lot. Those who should buy it have bought it, and those who should criticize it have criticized it.
"This book is currently ranked fourth in sales, it's terrifying." Gu Lu took out the sales report.
In just over a month, more than three million copies were sold in China, and the New Youth Publishing House had to reprint three copies to satisfy the market. This is the sales volume in various languages excluding Tibetan.
At present, the domestic sales of Gu Lu are only surpassed by "The Little Prince", "Flowers for Algernon" and "Hyouka".
“However, why are the sales of Hyouka so high? It comes from the new world and there is also animation support.” Gu Lu touched his chin.
Bingguo has published five versions, the latest of which, published in 2019, has the subtitle: Gu Lu’s semi-autobiographical novel.
"Isn't it because of my personal fame?"
In the second half of this year, Gu Lu has no writing plans in China. He still needs to maintain the pace of two long stories and several medium and short stories a year.
But the writing plan abroad is uninterrupted.
More than a month ago, the magazine "New World" in the Bear Country published Dostoyevsky, one of the Three Masters, which caused quite a stir. We will not talk about this for now because there are bigger things happening in Japan.
As for him, the "gift" he prepared for the little... Neon Gold, who was living a good life, can be opened today.
The publishing house is Baichao Company. Baichao Yongjie, the president of Baichao Publishing Company, started various publicity when he signed Gu Lu's new work.
The promotion has been going on in Neon for nearly half a month, especially in the same company's magazine "White Cat", which is promoted every week.
Last week, I said: "The masterpiece that will heal millions of people is coming!"
