As Jiang Yulou wrote line after line of beautiful verses, Ji Zhenghuai and Editor Lin, who were standing behind him, held their breaths, fearing that any noise from their breathing would interrupt Jiang Yulou's creation.
Both of them are creative and know the importance of inspiration for writers.
If a poem that could have left a mark on history dies due to their faults, they would be guilty of a grave sin.
In fact, Jiang Yulou would not be disturbed at all.
The reason why he writes slowly is purely because of his desire to perform.
Judging from his frequent frowns and deep thoughts, he was enjoying it.
Finally, about ten minutes later, Jiang Yulou finished writing the last line of the poem, and then wrote the title of the poem - "Of course" on another piece of paper.
He actually composed a poem on the spot!
Editor Lin couldn't believe his eyes. When did writing poetry become so easy?
He is the editor of a poetry magazine and likes to write poetry on weekdays. I have written a lot of poems before, but every time it was not difficult, like constipation.
Like Jiang Yulou, there seems to be no such thing as a lack of inspiration.
Moreover, this poem does not look like an improvisation at all, it is very complete and there is no room for change at all.
It took more than ten minutes to compose a love poem that was difficult to read every word. Jiang Yulou's reputation as the Prince of Love Poems was finally confirmed in front of him.
If someone had told Editor Lin before coming to Yanda to meet Jiang Yulou that someone could write a love poem on the spot that was not inferior to "To See or Not to See", he would have scoffed.
Now, he believes it.
Only by seeing Jiang Yulou in person can we truly understand his talent.
A genius is what describes such a person!
Ji Zhenghuai was greatly relieved. If he had doubts about Jiang Yulou's talent before, his doubts were gone now. I guess it won't be long before a star that shocks the literary world will rise.
Jiang Yulou touched his nose, with a smile without any impurity on his face, and said: "Mr. Ji, Editor Lin, I'm sorry for keeping you two waiting for so long."
"Oh, okay." Editor Lin woke up from his reverie and responded.
Then, Editor Lin said respectfully: "Mr. Ji?"
Given Ji Zhenghuai's status, the first person to comment was naturally his old man.
Ji Zhenghuai was not modest either. He read Jiang Yulou's poem again. After pondering for a moment, he commented: "The level of Yulou's poem is not inferior to the three love poems he wrote before. In fact, this poem is unique. What Mingli wrote is The love between men and women is actually the transformation of ideals and beliefs into love, am I right?"
Jiang Yulou gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Mr. Ji, you see so clearly!"
Ji Zhenghuai laughed. He may not be the best in poetry creation, but his appreciation ability is second to none.
Jiang Yulou's song "Of course" is based on the later song "The Theory of Cangyang Gyatso".
This poem "Tsangyang Gyatso Says" may not be clear to many people in later generations if I mention the name alone, but the author of this poem and the author of "See or Not See" are actually the same person, very talented.
But what is helpless is that although the poet has good literary talent and her poems are very popular, she herself is not very popular. This may be the helplessness of later poets.
What is even more frustrating is that her poems have been rumored to be the poems of Tsangyang Gyatso, which is really sad.
In that era, truly good poets and good poems were not recognized, but "shit and shit" became popular.
It’s the daughter of the Jia family that I’m talking about.
This is the current situation of poetry in later generations.
And the poets of later generations were basically not popular, and it was difficult for them to become famous.
Alas, poetry is dead and only makes people sentimental.
But in 1979, the last golden age of modern poetry, things were different.
After going through a special era, young people always need a way to vent their feelings.
Modern poetry is simple to create and easy to recite, which has created a great situation for quite some time.
"I have done a good deed." Jiang Yulou laughed to himself.
Editor Lin's claws are numb. Originally, he came here to pay less, but now...
As an honorable editor, his professional ethics would not allow him to lie.
No matter how embarrassed he was, he didn't show it on his face at all. Instead, he said happily: "Teacher Jiang's poem is of a very high level, not inferior to the popular "See or Not See" at all."
Jiang Yulou then asked: "What about the royalties?"
Don't play with those fictitious things. The top priority is to determine the royalties quickly.
Editor Lin's mind raced and he came up with an idea: "This...I'm sorry, Teacher Jiang. This poem is so excellent. The remuneration is no longer something I can decide. It needs to be reported to the club for discussion."
"That's it." Jiang Yulou was a little disappointed.
In the end, Jiang Yulou and Ji Zhenghuai sent Editor Lin away.
After Editor Lin left, Ji Zhenghuai encouraged him: "Yulou, if you work hard, you should have higher achievements."
"Mr. Ji, I will work hard." Jiang Yulou said seriously.
When he left Ji Zhenghuai's office, his expression was solemn.
Oh, it’s so stressful!
When Jiang Yulou returned to the dormitory, he was greeted by three pairs of curious eyes.
"Yulou, what does Director Ji want from you?"
"Is it because of your love poem?"
"Oh, you are so famous that even Director Ji personally summoned you."
Wei Guoping and the other two said something to each other.
"Ahem, what kind of summons? It's too unpleasant to hear." Jiang Yulou coughed and explained: "Director Ji just wants to see me, and..."
Jiang Yulou hesitated for a moment, considering whether to tell them the news about the people from Poetry Magazine.
Xu Xiangdong was impatient and urged: "If there is anything else, you can tell me!"
"Oh, you insisted on me saying that." Jiang Yulou sighed.
When several people saw his expression, their hearts trembled. Could it be bad news?
Then, Jiang Yulou said helplessly: "It's not a big deal, it's just that an editor from the poetry magazine came to ask me to invite poems."
After saying that, he saw Xu Xiangdong and Yu Min looking confused, but Wei Guoping's expression changed from confused to excited.
He stood up, walked to Jiang Yulou, held his shoulders with both hands, and asked, "Yulou, is that the Poetry Magazine that published the Poetry Magazine?"
"That's right." Jiang Yulou nodded.
Yu Min and Xu Xiangdong asked: "Old Wei, what kind of poetry magazine is this? Please tell me clearly."
Wei Guoping quickly explained: "Let me tell you, the Poetry Journal Club is awesome..."
After he explained, Yu Min and Xu Xiangdong became depressed.
Good guy, if I had known earlier I wouldn’t have asked.
Jiang Yulou pretended to be here again, and now he felt even worse.
Wei Guoping didn't care whether Jiang Yulou was pretending or not. He asked, "Yulou, will you publish poems in a poetry magazine?"
Jiang Yulou said matter-of-factly: "Yes. Editor Lin asked me to write a poem on the spot when he was here. I happened to have inspiration in my mind, so I composed it on the spot."
"Oh, by the way, Director Ji and Editor Lin both said that my new poem is not inferior to "See or Not See"."
Wei Guoping and the other three: "..."
Why are we so mean!
