Wenhao: This child has been smart since he was young

Chapter 161 Envious President Wang
I wrote a rough draft of the preface, went home and typed it out on the keyboard, and sent it to President Wang of the New Youth Publishing House.

As for President Wang, he doesn't necessarily want his child Wang Ban to be better than Gu Lu. He has normal IQ.

I just don’t want Wang Ban to look down on “writers”. I don’t think I can call myself a writer just by putting together a bunch of short stories I’ve written and publishing them as a book.

"Li Riyao, the head teacher of No. 37 Middle School. And the unknown fat boss, how lucky they are!" President Wang thought to himself after reading the complete preface.

The sales of magazines such as Story Club, Ancient and Modern Legends, Readers, and Sprout indicate that the general public has a strong demand for interesting stories, and the storytelling quality of the short story collection "Yesterday's Park" is the best in the past ten years.

"The Little Prince has sold more than 300,000 copies, and fairy tales always have their limits." President Wang plans to print 150,000 copies for the first time. This collection of short stories will become a milestone work of domestic short stories.

A collection of short stories is a fertile field that has not yet been cultivated. To harvest the grain, you must use a strong hoe.

President Wang believes that as long as there are no more epoch-making entertainment tools such as television and computers, the author's name "Gu Lu" can be turned into a brand.

Putting the above and the following together, it becomes clear what President Wang envies. Appearing in Gu Lu's preface, it is not as exaggerated as leaving a name in history, but as long as the work is still being published, the name will not be forgotten.

Otherwise, why do you think Wang Lun is still remembered after more than a thousand years?
As for whether the fact that Gu Lu only wrote about the fat boss in his preface but not his real name will be buried... When "Yesterday's Park" goes on sale nationwide, there will definitely be reporters who will check it out.

On the other hand, Gu Lu, who is expected to become a master of short stories, is also working hard.

Persuaded by Zhang Liwan, he returned home and started recording the video.

In order to prevent the video from becoming part of his cyber criminal record, Gu Lu turned off the camera and started recording the audio.

Keep going, keep going, and keep going.

Repeat, repeat, and repeat.

"There is a Li Bai in our hearts. You are the banished immortal, and you are the soul of the bright moon!" Gu Lu recorded it again in its entirety.

It was recorded six or seven times.

After selecting the one that satisfied him the most, a black screen alone would be quite boring, so Gu Lu went online to select some materials and insert them in.

After more than an hour of hard work, it was completed.

“Fortunately, when I failed in my previous life, I thought of learning some editing and promoting my book on TikTok. Although it didn’t bring much traffic, it’s useful in this life!”

"Mr. Lu Xun is right. What you have eaten will eventually turn into flesh in your body, and what you have learned will help you one day." Gu Lu was filled with emotion.

After publishing, the current Bilibili does not have that many sections, and the majority of videos on the site are ghost videos and two-dimensional content submissions.

In 2010, it was renamed bilibili, and in mid-2012, Bilibili surpassed A站 in traffic.

If Wings had not put in the effort on Bilibili, the first video on Bilibili that exceeded 10 million views would not be released until two years later.

Gu Lu actually forgot one thing. Unlike later generations, Bilibili has many official media outlets, and it has become a recognized platform. It has even produced a lot of high-quality content, and is still a high-quality platform.

Currently - let alone Bilibili, even the second dimension has not been recognized by mainstream culture, so he is about to inadvertently achieve a record...

Reading, typing, taking a bath, and finally opening the email, this is Gu Lu's daily routine.

There was an email from Japan today, and the beginning was also a very long paragraph, which Gu Lu finished reading.

To put it simply, Anshan Yixiong has completed the translation of the three articles and has submitted them to the magazine, which is expected to be published next week. The main purpose of his email was to ask for Gu Lu's address.

According to the rules, a sample manuscript will be sent to the author after the article is published.

Gu Lu filled in the address of the school. This kind of address filled in for international mail is more "official", which is better, at least that's what he thinks. "International express mail will arrive in about a week, and you can receive the sample manuscript as soon as it is published in Japanese magazine." Gu Lu was also curious about what the short story would look like after being translated back into Japanese from the Chinese version.

My plan for myself is to try my best to get into Peking University through the Peiwen Cup, and then learn at least one foreign language during my studies.

"It's twelve o'clock, time to go to bed. I've been so busy lately that it's hard to get six hours of sleep a day." As soon as Gu Lu's butt touched the bed, he jumped up instantly as if the bed had thorns.

Having forgotten to water the flowers, Gu Lu rushed to the balcony, "Oh no, why does Osmanthus seem listless?"

……

The next day, noon.

"If I had a little red flower, I would definitely give one away. Brother Gulu keeps his word."

He met Zhang Liwan in the corridor, who started praising him profusely, leaving Gu Lu confused.

The teaching building for the second grade of high school is not here, and even for lunch they don’t go towards the first grade side, so Zhang Liwan must have come here on purpose.

"Tell me clearly, what's going on?" Gu Lu asked.

Zhang Liwan was surprised, but the person involved didn't know yet. Was the school deliberately trying to give her a surprise?
"The very famous Sichuan opera actress, Ms. Shen Tiemei, wants to buy your "The Little Prince" and rehearse it into a drama." As a member of Time Radio, Zhang Liwan was told by the school to record this matter well.

Gu Lu was not familiar with Sichuan Opera at all, so he did not know the other party, even though he was a "Sichuan Opera celebrity". He got the specific information from Zhang Liwan.

She only knew the general information, but she didn't know more specifically why Chairman Shen, a master of Sichuan opera, was in charge of the drama theater.

"See you this afternoon." After saying goodbye and leaving, Gu Lu went home at noon to look up some information on his computer...

The school had no plans for a surprise or anything, it was mainly concerned with purchasing copyrights for adaptation, and Chairman Shen wanted to talk to the students' parents.

Originally thought to be a done deal, the school asked Time Radio to prepare first. When Director Hu was about to notify the person involved during the third class in the morning, he didn't expect that they got stuck on who to talk to.

"It's impossible for me to fall into the same pit twice." Principal Chang muttered to himself.

Last time we invited Gu Lu’s mother to the school anniversary party, something almost went wrong.

Principal Chang also spent some effort to make Chairman Shen believe two incredible facts.

"There really are such irresponsible parents" and "They can still be so outstanding living alone."

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Lu came to the principal's office. As soon as he entered the door - huh? Why is the air conditioner not on? It's a bit cold!

In this foggy city without heating, air conditioning is needed to save us in winter.

Coming to the principal's office was like going home, and Gu Lu felt relaxed.

Apart from the principal, Director Hu and the two background members of Time Radio, the remaining woman should be the Sichuan Opera icon Shen Tiemei.

She is in her forties, but very... elegant. You can really describe her as elegant. To be more specific, it is reflected in her sitting posture and the way she talks.

Chairman Shen has a nice voice.

Introduce yourself...
