"Yulou, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." In front of Jiang Yulou, Jian Xing was ashamed.
After Lu Yao left, Jian Xing went to Jiang Yulou and told him about the poetry submission.
Jiang Yulou comforted him: "Brother Jian, you don't have to blame yourself. This matter has nothing to do with you."
Although it was Jian Xing who invited him to participate, it was he who decided to compose poetry.
It seems that he overestimated the simplicity of the educated youth of this era.
There are honest people, but there are also many shameless people. This also reminded him that he should be more cautious about copyright in the future.
Jian Xing sighed and said, "But it's because of me that I've caused you a lot of trouble, and I can't blame you!"
"I believe the editor of "Yanhe" will give me justice." Jiang Yulou said.
"By the way, Brother Jian, do you know the editor of "Yanhe"?" He was curious about the other person's identity again.
Jian Xing recalled it and said, "It's the editor of Luyao Road. Although I don't know him, I heard the teacher mention it."
"Who? Lu Yao?" Jiang Yulou was so excited that his voice rose a few decibels.
Jian Xing confirmed: "Yes, it's Lu Yao. He published many poems and novels before joining the editorial board of "Yanhe"."
"It turned out to be him." Jiang Yulou muttered to himself.
It's really him!
There was a glint in Jiang Yulou's eyes.
That's Lu Yao, the Lu Yao who wrote "The Ordinary World"!
Together with Chen Zhongshi and Jia Pingwa, he is also known as the three outstanding figures of loess literature!
He didn't expect that a great writer like Lu Yao would bother him to run back and forth for a small matter of his own.
I really hope to meet you soon!
"Yulou knows Editor Lu?" Jian Xing was confused at first, then denied: "That's not right, Editor Lu doesn't know you Yulou."
Jiang Yulou explained: "I have read editor Lu's novels."
It's just that I read his unpublished novel "The Ordinary World", which is not a lie.
Two days later, Lu Yao followed the list provided by Jian Xing and visited the educated youth attending a literary seminar in Yangping County.
From their mouths, Lu Yao finally determined that "Mountain Wood" and "Poem of the Ten Commandments" were both composed by Comrade Jiang Yulou. As for Li Yao, he was a shameless plagiarist.
At that moment of confirmation, he could finally meet Jiang Yulou.
Under Jian Xing's introduction, the two met at Jiang Yulou's house.
Young, handsome, and energetic, this was Lu Yao's first impression of Jiang Yulou.
Especially the confidence and high spirits, which are rare in this era.
Lu Yao stretched out his hand and said, "Comrade Jiang Yulou, we finally meet."
"Editor Lu, I have been a close friend of you for a long time!" Jiang Yulou shook hands with him excitedly.
He was handsome and well-spoken. Lu Yao fell in love with the young man in front of him.
Lu Yao smiled and said: "I was shocked when I found out Comrade Jiang's age. Now that I see it, it is indeed worthy of the name. We Shaanxi writers have gained another young genius."
"Editor Lu is too praiseworthy. I still have a lot to learn on the road of being a writer." Jiang Yulou said seriously.
Jian Xing said: "You don't have to be polite to come. You can go there politely. You'd better just tell me if you have anything to do."
"Ha ha."
Jiang Yulou and Lu Yao smiled at each other.
"In that case, I'll tell you straight away."
Lu Yao coughed and continued: "I have two tasks here. One is to confirm the creators of the two poems. The other task is to meet Comrade Jiang. I hope you don't dislike the magazine "Yanhe" too much." If you're young, submit those two poems to our magazine."
Jiang Yulou said humorously: "Yanhe is not a small magazine. As the largest literary magazine in Shaanxi, it is my honor to be published in Yanhe."
Lu Yao was overjoyed, "Did Comrade Jiang agree?"
"The premise is that Editor Lu agrees to my request." Jiang Yulou said with a smile.
Lu Yao thought it was a request for remuneration, so he rushed to say: "Although we at Yanhe are not as rich as the magazines in Beijing, we can give you the highest remuneration based on the quality of your two poems."
Jiang Yulou smiled again, "I believe in "Yanhe" in terms of remuneration, but this is not my request."
"That is?"
"I hope we won't call you Comrade Jiang, Editor Lu. I'll call you Brother Lu, and you will call me Yulou, okay?"
Is this a requirement? Lu Yao's heart warmed up and he glanced at Jiang Yulou instantly.
"Then I'll ask you to call you Yulou."
"Brother Lu!"
At this time, the relationship between the two instantly became much closer.
"Yulou, I would like to trouble you to re-write two poems and then submit them to us "Yanhe"." Lu Yao explained apologetically: "The necessary procedures still need to be followed, but I will personally take the manuscript back to the provincial capital. It can save a lot of time.”
Jiang Yulou readily agreed: "No problem."
He always writes in his bedroom, so he took the two of them into his bedroom as a tour.
When Jiang Yulou was writing poetry, Lu Yao saw the sample of the first issue of "Contemporary".
In the first issue, except for Jiang Yulou's "Li Shisan Pushing the Mill", the others are all works by famous artists.
The authors in it are all well-known, and some of them are at the level where Lu Yao would be in awe after he became famous.
Out of curiosity, Lu Yao borrowed a sample issue of "Contemporary" and read it in the room.
When he saw Jiang Yulou's short story, he couldn't help but praise it.
The novel is indeed good. It is definitely not a fluke that Jiang Yulou's novel was published.
After just reading it briefly, Lu Yao felt that his understanding of the novel had improved to a certain extent. If he can read it carefully and ponder it carefully, he can probably try to write a novella.
He had already made a decision in his mind. When he returned to the provincial capital, he would go to the post and telecommunications office to order the first issue of "Contemporary." He had a hunch that this issue would be of great help to him.
Just when he was about to calm down and read, he heard a soft "eh".
He looked up and found that Jian Xing was holding a stack of manuscripts in his hand.
Just when he was confused, he heard Jian Xing ask excitedly: "Yulou, is this manuscript your new work that has not been published yet?"
Jiang Yulou, who was writing a poem, took a look and saw that it was the manuscript of "Yellow Earth".
He stopped writing and said with some helplessness: "This is a new work, I haven't decided which magazine to submit it to yet."
"Yulou, how did you do it? How long has it passed? You have written another wonderful work!" Jian Xing exclaimed.
Won’t inspiration run out?
How come you write one movie after another without taking a break?
Sure enough, he doesn't understand the world of genius.
"Yulou, Teacher Jian, if you don't mind, can I take a look?"
The conversation between the two aroused Lu Yao's curiosity.
Will it really be that good?
As an editor, he still cares a lot about Jian Xing's praise.
"certainly."
