Chapter 122 "Harvest" There are always a lot of crabs to eat!
After listening to Govine's idea, Li Yu directly rejected Govine, and the reason for his refusal was even clearer and clearer, concise and to the point - the editorial department did not allow the editorial department to damage the reputation of "Harvest"!
After listening to Li Yu's words, Gewen's heart sank, but he still did not give up his thoughts, Li Yu's views only represent his personal views, although his feelings for Li Yu are very deep, not relatives but even relatives, but Gewen disagrees with Li Yu's views, Li Yu attaches too much importance to the reputation of "Harvest", he has forgotten the real purpose of the founding of "Harvest" magazine!
Since he has become an editor of "Harvest" magazine, Govin has naturally done a comprehensive understanding of "Harvest" magazine, which is responsible for his work and a kind of learning and improvement for himself.
On July 24, 1957, a large, 328-page bimonthly literary magazine was born, and this magazine was called Harvest.
In its inaugural issue, the first sentence of the "Speech" was the birth of "Harvest", which concretely realized the policy of "letting a hundred flowers bloom". The leading articles in this issue are Lu Xun's "The Historical Changes of Chinese Novels", Ai Wu's "A Hundred Tempered into Steel" and another writer's "Water Drops and Stone Wearing", Lao She's three-act drama "Teahouse", and Ke Ling's film script "The City That Never Sleeps".
This is the first meaningful appearance of "Harvest", and the openness of "Harvest" that is different from other magazines makes all readers deeply remember this magazine.
The reason why "Harvest" has won people's favor is precisely because of the policy of letting a hundred flowers bloom in the country it advocates.
But with the passage of time. Some of the editors of the editorial department of "Harvest", including Li Yu, have been suppressed by the reputation and status brought by "Harvest", intentionally or unintentionally, and they do not want to do anything to damage "Harvest" and damage Ba Jin's reputation. This is detached from the purpose and original intent of Harvest.
So Govin shook his head and said, "Uncle Li, you're thinking too much, have you forgotten the purpose of our Harvest?" ”
Seeing Li Yu stunned, Ge Wen continued: ""Harvest" is a position to create a free competition of a hundred flowers, that is, to find new literary talents, to produce more works and more talents. This is under the weight of a decade of turmoil. can tremble and not change their original intentions, even if the publication is stopped in the end, they will not hesitate. So why did we give up when the environment is so good now? ”
"I think we editors of Harvest should have a very broad vision. We cannot afford to be as narrow and cowering as the editors of some of their publications. ”
"Why can we have a circulation of more than one million Harvest? Isn't it true that we have always adhered to the principle of openness and even risk-taking? While other journals only publish the works of famous and prestigious writers, we at "Harvest" earnestly dig out new talents and publish those works with new ideas......"
Govyn's mind flashed to a report from the afterlife, and there was a controversy in later literary circles. The reason for the controversy was that the pure literary magazine "Harvest" published the work of a young commercial writer named Guo Xiaosi "Jue Ji".
"Harvest" has never been stubborn or conservative!
"I was looking through all sorts of materials about Harvest magazine. A lot of interesting things were noticed. After the re-publication of "Harvest", a large number of works that caused major social repercussions were published, and many works even caused controversy in the society at that time. In the 1980 "First National Excellent Novella Award" selected in China, 6 of the works were from "Harvest", which accounted for more than one-third of the total award-winning titles. What does this mean? Another example is the scar literature we published a few years ago, such as Chen Rong's "People Reach Middle Age" that we published...... These have sparked a nationwide rethink......"
"I remember that Ba Lao once said that 'our Harvest is open to young writers, we have already published some works of young writers, and we will publish more Virgos of young writers in the future.'" This is the policy of our "Harvest"! This is the fundamental reason why our "Harvest" can have such a prominent reputation today! ”
"China is undergoing drastic and tremendous changes right now. Therefore, we must communicate with young people in "Harvest", and we must have a dialogue with people with different knowledge structures. And this poetry exhibition of hazy poetry is a good idea. So I don't think I'm wrong, I think it's necessary! Govin concluded.
In fact, the reason why Govyn has such big ambitions and such big ideas is not just based on his own wishful thinking. Whether in his past life or in this life, he is no stranger to Harvest magazine. Since "Harvest" can publish Guo Xiaosi's "Jue Ji" in the future, and since "Harvest" can launch a special issue of youth literature in two issues in the late 80s to solemnly recommend the pioneer writer group, what is the problem of doing a hazy poetry exhibition now?!
Because "Harvest" has never eaten a lot of crabs!
Listening to Gowen's calm and confident words, Li Yu's expression can be described as extremely rich, resolute, serious, abrupt, remorseful, and reflective...... waited for Govin to finish his opinion, Li Yu was still immersed in his emotions, and Govine's words shocked him a lot, and also made him seriously begin to reflect on his psychological state.
Although Gowen's words were not accusatory, Li Yu heard from Gowen's words that he disagreed with his own concepts.
After a long time, Li Yu let out a long breath, looked at Govin and smiled bitterly, and then said seriously: "You're right, the reputation of "Harvest" does make me a little conservative......
Seeing that Li Yu finally agreed with his point of view, Ge Wen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile, since he could convince Li Yu, it was not impossible for Gao Lin!
"From the perspective of our "Harvest", we can publish something more magnificent, more profound, and more concerned about social life, but when everyone pays attention to society, why don't we care about personal and special things?" As he spoke, Gowen took the stack of manuscript papers from Li Yu's hand, and then planned to walk out of the office.
"Gowen, are you going to find Gao Lin?" Seeing Gowen's actions, Li Yu suddenly asked.
"Hmm."
"Then you wait a minute, I'll go with you." Li Yu said.
"Huh?" Hearing Li Yu's words, Ge Wen, who had already turned around and walked two steps, turned around, he looked at Li Yu excitedly and said, "Uncle Li, are you going to help me?" ”
"Haha, don't look at your Uncle Li as an old stubborn, since you have such great ambitions, then let Uncle Li help you." Li Yu laughed.
"Knowing your mistakes can make a difference! Uncle Li, I adore you more and more! ”
"Bastard boy, you dare to ridicule your Uncle Li!"
……
When Govin and Li Yu pushed open the door to the editor-in-chief's office, Gao Lin was answering the phone. When he saw Govin and Li Yu coming in, he made a gesture of waiting, and then continued to speak into the microphone.
So Ge Wen and Li Yu didn't care about Gao Lin, and the two of them came to sit down in front of the sofa opposite Gao Lin. Looking at Gao Lin who was holding the phone and talking eloquently, for some reason a shudder suddenly swelled in Gowen's heart - I don't know what the result will be for a while?
Although Govin had already convinced Li Yu, Li Yu was only an editor after all, and he would not stand on the overall height and overlook everything in the "Harvest" magazine like Gao Lin. Gao Lin's cognition will be more comprehensive, and he will have more things to worry about.
As early as a month or two ago, Gowen's work experience in the editorial department of "Harvest" was exposed by "New Zhou Evening News", and then Gao Lin found out that Zhang Jianguo of the logistics editorial department leaked the internal affairs of "Harvest" magazine. Although these things are not considered private, Gao Lin still didn't want to dismiss Zhang Jianguo, in his opinion, the editorial department of "Harvest" needs an atmosphere of unity, and the reputation of "Harvest" is not allowed to be tarnished by anyone, so Zhang Jianguo is above the muzzle, even if he has worked in the editorial department of "Harvest" for many years and has worked hard.
This is the reason why standing in the position of the part and the whole will make the perspective of consideration different. So Govin was not entirely sure about convincing Golin.
"Gowen, you don't take care of Ba Lao, why did you come to the editorial department? Is there something going on? Gao Lin hung up the phone and walked out from behind his desk. He said with a smile as he walked over to the couch and sat down.
"Uncle Gao, I came today because I want to react to Uncle Gao." Govyn said with a grin. Then when he saw Gao Lin sitting down, he got up from the sofa and picked up the thermos on the side and gave the water cup on the coffee table in front of Gao Lin water.
"What's wrong?" Gao Lin took the glass of water handed by Gowen, leaned back on the sofa, and asked.
Hearing Gao Lin's question, Govin took a deep breath in his heart, and after shouting to himself to cheer up, he handed the manuscript that had been placed on the sofa to Gao Lin, and then talked about his thoughts.
Gao Lin saw that Govin handed over a dozen manuscript papers, and couldn't help but have a smile on his face, Li Yu once told him how Govine's "Taoist Tower" was published in the September issue of "Harvest" magazine, and now he saw Govin and Li Yu appear in front of him together, and then Govin handed over a dozen manuscript papers, and naturally guessed what was going on in his heart.
This anxious boy! Gao Lin smiled in his heart, and was about to read the manuscript handed over by Gowen, and then he heard Gowen's words-
"Uncle Gao, I want to hold a poetry exhibition of hazy poetry in the magazine "Harvest" to show readers the development results of hazy poetry to the poetry world!"
Gao Lin was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly flipped through the manuscript in his hand, which was an article and some poems.
Govin began to tell why he wanted to hold an exhibition of hazy poetry in Harvest magazine, so Gao Lin did not bother to look at the manuscript in his hand, he leaned back on the sofa, and quietly listened to Gowen's reasons and thoughts.

Thank you to the brothers who gave tips and voted for the monthly ticket today! Thanks a lot!
At night, when I was coding words, a colleague sat opposite and watched the TV series, with a harsh voice, which made the rebel feel impetuous and impatient, and I wanted to say that I was embarrassed to say it, and I was extremely depressed.
