Chapter 557: King of Joint Names
On the phone, silence was also a response. Gu Lu understood that everything would be clear once the movie was released.
Let’s not talk about this matter for now. President Wang talked about another matter.
He said, "I heard that the official Da Ying invited you to create a work? Is there a time limit? How much is the official publishing fee?"
President Wang is the top leader of Heilongjiang Province, and his information is indeed better than Uncle Jian's. Although it was not a secret invitation, the news did not spread.
"There is a deadline, before June next year. It seems to be related to the election system." Gu Lu said, "As for publishing... Da Ying officials have not stipulated the publisher. As long as the new work can be released before June next year, there will be no problem."
The implication is that the treatment will be discussed with the publishing group. President Wang felt a little strange. The official should arrange a publishing house for Da Ying, and it will be considered a "merit" when Gu Lu's new work is a bestseller. For example, for "Who Moved My Cheese", not to mention the publishing house, even the cover picture and subtitle were arranged by the official.
So, what exactly was Gu Lu invited to write about? Why was it linked to the election?
Well, that’s not important, President Wang continued, “Will it be published in China? Our New Youth Publishing House has experience in publishing in this area.”
Gu Lu paused for a few seconds and responded, "It depends on the feedback of this book on Da Ying. If... well, it depends on the feedback anyway."
President Wang became even more curious because of his hesitation to talk, but he knew when to stop and didn't ask too many questions. He just made an appointment for publication first.
After hanging up the phone, President Wang sighed, "To Live can keep a publishing house alive."
It smells so good that President Wang sees the same vitality effect as in "The Little Prince".
After hanging up the phone, Gu Lu opened his mailbox and found an email from the Hengdaohezi Town Hall. Compared to President Wang's skepticism, Hengdaohezi seemed to be in a "all-in" mood.
Work is already underway on the construction of passenger facilities, which requires a considerable investment… I have to say that the current leadership team of Hengdaohezi is a bit radical.
it should be no problem.
"Tang Jun's finished product is at least 80% to 90% accurate to the original." Gu Lu judged in his mind as he attended an internal film screening.
They are not directed by the same director, but even if the story is the same, and even if the premise is to shoot in a romantic and oriental aesthetic style, there are still differences. Iwai Shunji made his debut with the horror comedy "Onigayu", so the scene where Fujii Itsuki is in the hospital has the style of a horror movie.
Tang Jun filmed the hospital scene as "like passing through a mountain", without any horror atmosphere, but the father's death brought a serious psychological shadow to the heroine, a hurdle that she couldn't get over. Director Tang is a good director, and this part was filmed very well.
After comparing in his mind, Gu Lu judged that "Love Letter" would definitely reach the heights on Earth - it was not that Tang Jun was more powerful, but that he was more famous at the moment.
Not to mention other things, just the places where the film has won numbness before it was released, the production company has already negotiated with eight countries to release it together.
During the end of the year, Gu Lu was not idle either. His initial plan was to discuss with Zhou Lin's employees and find an opportunity to give her a surprise proposal.
Everything was ready, but something unexpected happened and it was ruined...
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gu Lu. Something urgent happened. I'm really sorry. This situation was caused by intelligence problems." The clerk Xiao Xia kept apologizing on the phone.
"There's a long way to go, and I'm just trying to help out. It's really troublesome that you have to cooperate with me when you're so busy at work."
Although a lot of time was wasted, Gu Lu would not vent his anger on those who helped him.
"You said earlier that you like The Little Prince more. It just so happens that the People's Fine Arts Publishing House has published a beautiful illustrated edition with a signature. I'll bring it to you next time you come to the store." Gu Lu said. There are so many versions of The Little Prince, including illustrated editions, children's editions, and painted editions.
"Really?" Xiao Xia's eyes lit up. "Teacher Gu Lu, I like it more than just that. I really like The Little Prince. I'm so lucky to get Teacher Gu Lu's autographed copy."
Then Xiao Xia seemed to be energized and quickly said that she could continue to help blah blah.
Gu Lu thought for a moment and responded, "Wait until she's done with this period of time. I also happen to be busy."
This is the end of the matter.
At present, Gu Lu only has two things on hand, let’s talk about the other one.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wei Keduo, the book will be finished around April." King Guru's typing speed can actually finish it before New Year's Eve. It's just that it was finished too quickly, which doesn't reflect the hardship of creation, so April is suitable.
"Mr. Gu Lu, if we can finish it before June, it will be a victory." Wei Keduo responded. Since the higher-ups had given him this task, he would still call to inquire about the progress two or three times a month.
"That's definitely no problem," Gu Lu responded, and he had almost finished what he was saying and was about to hang up.
"No questions? Mr. Gu Lu, no more questions?" Wei Keduo suddenly asked, "Regarding the operation and structure of our government, I have asked Mr. Jonathan again. Those that were inconvenient to answer before can now be answered."
Forget it. What's the point of knowing so much? What if you can tell now but can't tell later? This kind of change is a bit dangerous. Besides, Gu Lu originally shot the arrow first and then drew the target.
"Mr. Wei Keduo has helped me a lot with my new work, and I have enough material to create it," said Gu Lu.
“……” You’d better ask. If you don’t, how can I say the next line?
After a long silence, Wei Keduo shamelessly spoke, awkwardly, "Is Mr. Gu Lu busy recently?"
"Well - if creating new works is not counted, then there is nothing else." Gu Lu replied.
"I'm sorry, sir. I don't mean to offend you. It must be hard to write a new book. I would like to ask, Mr. Gu Lu, if you have any free time. Portsham Village is holding an event and would like to invite you to attend." said Victor.
Portsham Village? A slightly familiar name, it seems to be Kane's hometown. It seems that this village hates him very much? Is this invitation not a Hongmen Banquet?
Gu Lu's thoughts made Wei Keduo think that he was lost in a long thought, so he continued to add, "Last July, Portsham obtained official authorization and began to build the buildings that appeared in various works. So far, it has attracted nearly 200,000 visitors."
From July last year to now, it has been almost 7 months, and the number of tourists per month is only a little over , which sounds like a small number. But Portsham has a population of more than people and is a new tourist attraction, so this result is already quite amazing.
"It is precisely because of last year's success that we are planning to hold the [Cthulhu Awakening] event, and naturally we hope to invite the Father of Cthulhu." Then Vicodo added that Portsham had authorization.
Gu Lu really didn't know about the authorization. Because Cthulhu has too many co-branded products, including clothes, shoes, food, clothing, housing and transportation. Except for food, all other products have co-branded products.
Why is there no food? Wouldn't squid tentacles work?
