Professor Du praised Jiang Yulou's selflessness, but also asked him not to spread his word. It is still unknown whether the song will be selected.
After all, the National Day is very close, and even next year is very uncertain.
But as long as he is selected, it will be a good thing for the Central Conservatory of Music, Jiang Yulou and Liu Sola.
When Jiang Yulou left Central Music, it was Liu Sola who saw him off, but Sola didn't give him a good look along the way.
This made him feel doubly strange. Even though everything was fine before, this time he was even more helpful to her.
No matter how old a woman is, she is always unpredictable.
Time flies, and September 25th arrives in a blink of an eye.
This day is undoubtedly memorable because the literary magazine that published Jiang Yulou's second novel "Yellow Earth" was officially launched on this day.
"Harvest" is a bimonthly magazine that only publishes six issues a year. With six issues, it can create sales of nearly half a million copies, which is already very remarkable.
It can be said that "Harvest" is unique in today's pure literature field.
In particular, this issue is the first of its kind in China to introduce Baodao writers, and serializes two novels in the magazine, Nie Hualing's "A Loft in Taipei" and Yu Lihua's "The Sons and Daughters of the Fu Family", as well as Bai Xianyong's short story "The Surprise in the Garden". Dream".
However, Jiang Yulou's novels are mixed among many famous ones, and they seem to be inconspicuous.
But when comments from Shaanxi appeared in the public eye, everything changed.
This starts with the road rumors.
Lu Yao had read Jiang Yulou's "Yellow Earth" before it was submitted.
He was full of praise at that time, and even praised Jiang Yulou as a future star in Shaanxi literary circles.
Now, "Harvest" is finally on the market, but there are surprisingly few reviews of "Yellow Earth" in the print media.
Obviously, everyone did not connect Jiang Yulou who wrote "Yellow Earth" and Jiang Yulou who published a collection of poems at first.
How can this be done?
It must be discussed. If Shaanxi literary world wants to develop, someone must take the lead.
After Liu Lao, Lu Yao felt that Jiang Yulou was expected to become the first person to come out of the Shaanxi literary world.
As a result, he contacted many writers and critics, and also contacted newspapers. After talking to them, he started to support Jiang Yulou's new work.
As a sponsor, the first review was written by him.
"For a novel, the artistic function determines its ontological existence, while the philosophical function determines its quality. The fundamental purpose of art is to seek beauty, and the fundamental purpose of science is to seek truth. This is absolutely clear. Literature and Art As one of the art categories, of course the fundamental purpose is also to pursue beauty.
Of course, this beauty has many levels, from physical pleasure to psychological joy, excitement, intoxication, and resonance. Moreover, this pursuit of beauty does not exclude the pursuit of truth. Even at the highest level, it must include the pursuit of truth, but it must be pursued in a way that conforms to the laws of aesthetics.
Literature and art also belong to one of the highest-level categories.
Jiang Yulou's novel "Yellow Earth" should be a popular literary work. The author created "Yellow Earth" through storyline, characterization, and profound humanistic care. "
A critic published his own review of the novel in the newspaper:
""Yellow Earth" is undoubtedly an excellent novel with universal humanistic care. This novel uses the story as a shell to achieve the unity of land, folk culture and characters. The simplicity, desolation and profoundness of the Shaanxi Plateau The folk customs are vividly reflected on the page. After reading the full text, I can't help but sigh. I was moved by the author's discussion of national characteristics and the fate of farmers."
One review after another appeared in the newspaper, arousing the curiosity of readers.
Is this novel really that good?
Just when ordinary readers were hesitant, a bombshell appeared.
That is the commentator article published by "Shaanxi Daily":
"A writer's skill is to attract readers' eyes firmly to the book. A real artist is 'cruel'. He wants to control your pulse and breathing. We have all had this experience. "Dream of Red Mansions" It is about the death of Lin Daiyu, "Resurrection" is about Maslova's final choice to go to Siberia with Simonson to do hard labor, and "Romeo and Juliet" is about Romeo taking real poison and Juliet waking up from anesthesia, and so on. The list goes on and on. This tortured effect often comes from the climax of the drama, but before that, the storyline leading to the climax is equally important. If there is only a climax and the previous part is loose and delayed, the climax effect will never be achieved.
Fortunately, "Yellow Earth" also achieved this effect, that is, Cuiqiao's death. When I read this work, I had already anticipated the ending, but I was still deeply attracted by the story. Why? It’s because of the foreshadowing of the story before the climax. Cuiqiao's death is a tragedy, but for the work "Yellow Earth", it is a success. "
This is considered official recognition.
That is to say, Jiang Yulou was from Yanjing and the news spread slowly. Otherwise, he would not know how excited he would be.
After the reviews in the print media exploded, this issue of "Harvest" also exploded, and "Yellow Earth" has also been recognized by more and more readers.
Especially the treasure land of Shaanxi has set off a craze for reading "Yellow Earth".
When the craze reached Yanjing, a future director took notice of the work.
Chen Kaige is a student of Nortel's class of 1978 and is already a sophomore this year. His father is a domestic director. Due to his family background, he has relatively high requirements for himself.
While his classmates were still learning about directing, he had already begun to think about his future works. Unfortunately, he never found a subject that he liked until he saw the piece "Yellow Earth".
In the beginning, he didn’t go there for the adaptation. But this novel has become very popular recently, and you can hear comments about this novel wherever you go.
He noticed a phenomenon. In the eyes of ordinary people, this novel is just a standard novel. But in the eyes of educated youth, especially female educated youth, it is very different.
They sympathize with Cuiqiao's fate, and at the same time agree with Cuiqiao's fight against fate, even though she may eventually lose her life.
This is something that has not been mentioned in many previous reviews. It seems that this novel still has great potential to be tapped.
It was with this curiosity that he bought a copy of "Harvest" and became obsessed with the stories described in the book.
The magnanimity has no corner, the great talent comes late, the great sound is loud, and the elephant is invisible.
This was the feeling he had after reading the novel.
If this novel was made into a movie, it would be absolutely beautiful.
