Wenhao: This child has been smart since he was young

Chapter 193 Bungeishunju released!

“Don’t trust people too much. Don’t trust them completely just because they are a little nice to you.” President Jian looked at the other party’s confused face, sighed, and said it more clearly.

"Ah?" Gu Lu pondered.

"Your soft ban in Japan is also due to the editor-in-chief of 'Years of Reasoning'." President Jian made a shocking statement.

"Editor-in-Chief Gao?" This time Gu Lu was really surprised. "But several of my short stories were published through the channel of time reasoning."

If you want to make things difficult for him, you shouldn't have sent his article overseas!
"It is true that your success abroad is due to the channel of "Years of Reasoning", but if you are too successful, it will not be good for Years of Reasoning." President Jian said, "To be precise, the editor-in-chief of "Floating Literature" did not add fuel to the fire of the soft ban of "Years of Reasoning", but just stood by and watched."

Things are a bit complicated. Gu Lu put down his chopsticks. He is very successful in Neon. How can it not be good for "Years of Reasoning"? There is a relationship between incense and fire!
"Also, what does it mean to stand by and watch?" Gu Lu suddenly remembered what Editor Han said that Editor Gao's resources were exhausted and he couldn't find other magazines to publish in.

Is it because of this? But not helping is also my duty, right? This is what Gu Lu thinks.

"The new issue of 'Years of Reasoning' has published four articles by Fu Wenzhi. Judging from your thoughtful expression, I'm right. It's the copyright exchange between the two magazines. This is something that is basically known in the publishing circle." President Jian said.

As mentioned before, the long-term contract with Japanese magazines is for exclusive publication. To introduce Japanese works, one must not only pay the author royalties, but also pay a sum of money to the publisher.

The publication of Gu Lu's works is equivalent to helping "Years of Reasoning" save a sum of copyright fees. In this case, it would be problematic to stand idly by.

"The Sui Yue Mystery Magazine does not exchange copyrights. You or the Story Club editorial department should still be able to receive a copyright fee from Fu Wen Zhi," said President Jian.

After understanding it, Gu Lu recalled the offline meeting of the AC Forum's tenth anniversary. Editor-in-Chief Gao was a very kind and nice middle-aged man. Why would he do something that would hurt others and benefit himself?

"The publishing and magazine circles are very complicated." President Jian looked at the confused Gu Lu, and considered that he was only a high school student after all. Even if he was mature, he would not understand the twists and turns of adults.

“Don’t believe others wholeheartedly just because they are a little nice to you. Adults will lie to children,” said President Jian.

Wow, this knife is so sharp. Gu Lu feels that many people are the same as him, right?

"Just like your new book, if there is a publishing house with better conditions in all aspects, you don't have to worry about personal relationships," said President Jian.

Gu Lu was unable to control his behavior rationally. To put it bluntly, even if he knew that President Jian was going to trick him, he would still admit it once because he had helped him so much, which was like a "buyout fee" for their friendship.

It was already 8:30 in the evening when we returned to the hotel after dinner.

The next day, Gu Lu went to see Chairman Mao's Memorial Hall, but the flag was not raised...

After much pain, Gu Lu simply did not sleep the next day and waited near the flag-raising platform an hour and a half in advance, successfully realizing his dream!

In the afternoon, Gu Lu went to the train station to pick up his classmate Tian Xiao, and was delayed for a while again.

"Fuck, Brother Gu Lu, is it really that profitable to write novels?"

Tian Xiao came to the Capital Hotel where Gu Lu was staying, which was next to Wangfujing and less than one kilometer away from Tiananmen Square.

"This location must be very expensive for one night." Tian Xiao's eyes widened, and his eyes revealed: So you are a local tycoon.

“I’m not sure about the details, it was given to me by the publishing house,” said Gu Lu.

Tian Xiao was full of admiration, "Then I'll treat Brother Gulu to hot pot. I got a coupon from a group, a meal for two is only 69, with a lot of dishes."

The Pen Spinning King also understands the ways of the world. He stayed in the hotel for free and treated us to a meal.

"Group coupon?" Such a strange yet familiar word, Gu Lu was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, you can buy it on Tuanbao.com, Gaopeng.com, and Manzuo.com. There are many discounts." Tian Xiao said, "I always compare prices from different stores!"

A phrase suddenly popped up in Gu Lu's mind: the war of thousands of group buying companies! From 2010 to 2014, thousands of group buying companies burned money in a war that made their brains burst.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for customers, because it is a time to spend money to seize the market!
"I didn't notice that something like this is happening on the Internet." Gu Lu muttered, and at the same time he remembered an opportunity to make a fortune. It seems that in 2013, Meituan, which had received a large amount of financing, held a month-long campaign to collect website slogans, and a million-dollar prize was awarded to those who were adopted. In the end, the winner was "Meituan is beautiful once."

"What's the big deal?" Tian Xiao didn't hear clearly, "Brother Gulu, is there anything wrong? If so, we can go tomorrow."

"Just today."

Gu Lucai has something to do tomorrow and has to attend the Writers Association meeting.

The trip to the Beijing Writers Association... I can only talk about it briefly, because he was not the protagonist of this conference, but only a supporting role who witnessed the conversations among the bigwigs.

It can be said that the room is full of big shots, and Gu Lu really has no say.

In the field of fairy tales alone, he saw Zheng Yuanjie, Cao Wenxuan, Jin Bo, Fan Fajia...

Do you feel that the name Fan Fajia is unfamiliar? But you must be familiar with his works. Children's poems such as "Drawing the Sun", "Hopscotch", "Swinging", etc. are all written by him. In addition, he is also a famous critic, but not as famous as Yu Xinyao because Fan Fajia only comments on children's literature.

To put it another way, Cao Wenxuan has not produced many works, but his status in the literary world is so high, which is also due to Fan Fajia's praise.

"The Grass House" is hailed as the first fairy tale novel of the 20th century.

The current version of "The Little Prince" is really not good enough.

In addition, there are Yan Lianke, Yang Jiang and others. Gu Lu feels that these are names written into textbooks. He is familiar with all of the above.

There is also a great writer in this world: Zhuang Mei, a native of Beijing, who is good at writing essays with beautiful words and sentences. She is known as the "second Bing Xin", but Zhuang Mei herself refuses to accept this title.

Beijing is worthy of being the capital, the association is too strong.

Compared to the Wudu Writers Association... forget it, I'd rather not compare it.

"Yes, the future is yours." Cao Wenxuan said with a smile, "Old Jian often recommends The Little Prince to me, but I haven't had time to watch it seriously."

Fan Fajia also nodded, indicating that he was also persuaded by President Jian.

"When I read The Little Prince, I thought it was not written by an adult, and I was right," said Zheng Yuanjie.

So it is amazing that the original author wrote "The Little Prince" at an adult age.

“Have you registered the copyright for the illustrations for The Little Prince? You should protect your copyright well.” Zheng Yuanjie said, “People nowadays are very bad.”

"Already registered." Gu Lu responded.

"That's good." Zheng Yuanjie said, "If you have any questions about copyright, you can ask me. I am also a good doctor after years of illness."

Gu Lu originally wanted to talk to Grandma Yang Jiang, but unfortunately Grandma was very old. She only showed up at the meeting and then went back to rest.

King Guru stayed for five days.

The Pen Spinning King stayed for two days.

The two's trip in the capital ended. Gu Lu saw a lot of things and met some powerful people, such as Cao Wenxuan, one of the editors-in-chief of textbooks for primary and secondary school students.

There are also bad things, such as what I heard about "Years of Reasoning".

Tian Xiao failed. He was a master of pen spinning in the Southwest region, but even though there were few people spinning pen in the country, and even though all the masters from all over the country gathered together, plus the foreign masters specially invited by the two conferences, Tian Xiao didn't even make it to the top eight...

There was no way to comfort him. He was hurt by the failure. No matter what he said, it was useless. Gu Lu didn't know how to spin a pen.

Just like that, a week passed and "Bungei Shunju" was released!
