Ge Wen made his thoughts clear to Gao Lin one by one, and even the words he had persuaded Li Yu before had been told to Gao Lin, but no matter what he said, Gao Lin had been listening quietly and had no reaction at all, which made the big stone in Gowen's heart always hold in his chest, uneasy, and unable to land.

After Gewen finished speaking, Gao Lin still maintained a state of thinking, and after a long time, he raised his head, his eyes swept in front of Gowen, looked at Li Yu and asked, "Li Yu, do you also agree with Gowen's idea?" ”

Li Yu nodded and said, "Well, just as Gowen said, the reason why our "Harvest" has won the favor of the majority of readers is precisely because of the policy of letting a hundred flowers bloom that we advocate. Now that hazy poetry is so popular, it is necessary for "Harvest" to communicate with young people, in fact, these knowledge structures of writing hazy poetry are different from the group dialogues of other poets, which is also a very interesting thing. ”

Gao Lin nodded, then picked up the manuscript in his hand and looked at it, he read it very carefully, first read the poems, and then began to read Gowen's "Rising Poetry Group", and after reading this poetry review, Gao Lin thought for a while, then looked at Gowen and shook his head and said: "I don't agree with you, "Harvest" can't issue a special issue of hazy poetry! ”

Although he already knew that things were not so easy to solve, Govin didn't expect Gao Lin to be so straightforward, and he couldn't help but ask eagerly, "Why?" ”

Gao Lin did not answer Gowen's question, but turned his head to look at Li Yu and shook the manuscript in his hand, and asked, "From the perspective of an editor, you." What is the level of these poems? Can it be published in Harvest magazine? ”

Li Yu shook his head, "Except for the two poems of Gowen, the other poems are excellent. But if you want to publish it in "Harvest", it's still a little hot. ”

Hearing Li Yu's words, Gao Lin was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his head to look at the poem manuscript in his hand, and sure enough, he found that there were two poems by Gowen in it, and these two poems were indeed one level higher than the other poems.

I didn't expect that the poetry level of this kid is okay, no wonder he can write a work like "Generation"!

Gao Lin secretly exclaimed. Then I heard Govyn interject the words, "Uncle Gao, these works are not strong. You can change it to other works, there are so many works of hazy poetry, I believe that there must be a lot of strength to publish in "Harvest" magazine! ”

Gao Lin smiled undeniably, and then put the manuscript in his hand on the coffee table in front of him. picked up the "Rising Poetry Group" separately and handed it to Li Yu. said: "What do you think of this review?" ”

"This ......" Li Yu heard Gao Lin's question, hesitated for a moment, and then said calmly: "This review is excellently written, ideological and artistic, but the views are different from the current mainstream views in the poetry world......

Gao Lin nodded, turned his head to look at the depressed Govyn and said, "The editor is not omnipotent, and he also has something he doesn't understand. In my opinion, this "Rising Poetry Group" is very well written. However, I cannot judge whether the views in the article are correct or not. In this case. How is it possible to publish this article? Your article can be said to have laid a solid theoretical foundation for hazy poetry, but if the foundation is not correct, isn't the rest just a pavilion in the sky? ”

"That's the root cause of my disagreement." After Gao Lin finished speaking, he handed all the manuscripts back to Govyn.

Ge Wen took it speechlessly, his face was ugly, if Gao Lin did not agree, then his plan for this hazy poetry exhibition would be bankrupt.

But he is not reconciled, the article "The Rising Poems" contains the views and insights he learned from later generations, how can it be wrong?!

But he couldn't prove the correctness of this article to Gao Lin and Li Yu......

Govyn began to have some headaches.

It seems that the most crucial thing now is to prove that the point of view of his "Rising Poetry Group" is correct. Only by proving the correctness of this article can we provide a theoretical platform for Hazy Poetry, and only when Hazy Poetry has theoretical recognition can Gao Lin dare to make the decision he wants him to make.

So how do you prove the correctness of this "Rising Poems"?

Govin was in doubt.

In the morning, Govin pondered the question, so much so that even Ba Jin could see that he was absent-minded, and asked with concern.

However, Govin did not intend to let Ba Jin know, since Ba Jin had said that he would not help him in this matter, then he did not want to block Ba Jin's thoughts.

However, at lunchtime, Govin still came up with a solution.

Gowen, who was still eating, suddenly laughed irrepressibly, which made Ba Jin startled, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "What's the matter, Gowen?" ”

Since Gao Lin and the others don't believe their opinion in the article "Rising Poems", let's find a few people who make them believe! For example, Ba Jin, such as Bingxin, and some old-timers in the poetry world...... As long as they admit that "The Rising Poems" is correct, then everything is not a problem!

Govin looked at Ba Jin across from him with a bowl, and while making up an excuse casually, he mentally removed Ba Jin from his shortlist.

The old-timers of the poetry world......

A few familiar names came to Gowen's mind: Bingxin, Ai Qing, Bian Zhilin, and Zang Kejia......

Send "The Rising Poetry Group" to these old-timers in the poetry world, if they agree with the point of view of this review, then I think Gao Lin can make that decision!

After thinking about the solution to the matter, Govyn's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the disappointment of being rejected by Gao Lin in the morning was finally swept away at this time.

So in the afternoon, Govine's work had a focus, and after he copied a few more copies of "The Rising Poems", he asked Ba Jin with a hippie smile about the contact information of Bingxin, Ai Qing and others. After knowing the addresses of several seniors, Govin wrote a sincere text message to these seniors in the poetry world asking for advice. In the letter, Govin expressed his desire to receive the opinions of his predecessors on the essay "The Rising Poets", and he stuffed the envelope with a reply envelope from his home address. It's all about getting a reply from these old-timers.

In the evening, after Govin sent the letters by registered mail. Finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and the next thing is to see the reaction of these seniors, if they agree. That's all it is easy to say, but if you oppose it, then I'm afraid you will have to start Plan No. 2 and put the Hazy Poetry Exhibition in other magazines.

By the time Govin returned home, Gu Cheng had already returned with Lin Yiming.

Seeing Gowen come in, a wry smile appeared on Gu Cheng's face, and Lin Yiming's face was also very unsightly.

Govin noticed the expressions of the two. I couldn't help but ask strangely, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Yiming turned his head sideways to look at Gu Cheng, and saw that he didn't seem to want to speak, so he said for him: "Today, Gu Cheng was busy calling and sending telegrams to his poet friends at the post office one day. Beijing has been notified, Gansu, Heilongjiang, Shanxi...... Some of the hazy poets over there also know about our plans......"

"That's good!" Listening to Lin Yiming's words, Ge Wen couldn't help but become a little excited, "The poet who notified today will definitely tell others the news." This is the case for ten and ten. It is estimated that soon the news that we will hold a hazy poetry exhibition will be known to all poets! ”

"But there was a problem." Lin Yiming was a little slumped.

"I'll tell you." Gu Cheng patted Lin Yiming on the shoulder, then stood up from the sofa, looked at Govin and said, "Govin, when I told my friends about our plan on the phone today, I encountered a problem - many people will be skeptical of my words, they don't believe that we can organize a poetry exhibition of hazy poetry, or in the magazine "Harvest". ”

Belch...... Gu Cheng's words surprised Gowen, and then he nodded with some understanding.

Although hazy poetry is quite popular among readers. However, almost all hazy poets have encountered the dilemma that their works have been repeatedly submitted but cannot be published, and the conservatism of the Chinese poetry circle and the inaction of various publications have long made many hazy poets despair. They no longer believe in magazines, they no longer believe in newspapers, they set their sights on the people, on mimeographed tabloids, hand-made magazines.

So when such good news appears, most people are not happy, but doubt the truth of the matter!

Ge Wen let out a sigh, then looked at Gu Cheng with a smile and said, "This matter is easy to do, I will write a short message in a while as the editor of "Harvest" magazine, and you will telegraph it to them early tomorrow morning, with this short message, I believe they will believe it!" ”

"What?!" When Gu Cheng and Lin Yiming heard Gewen's words, they shouted in surprise at the same time.

Lin Yiming opened his mouth and asked, "Does Harvest Magazine agree with your idea?" ”

"Nope."

"Aren't you taking a risk by doing this? Do you not care about your reputation? This was Gu Cheng's doubt.

Gewen smiled slightly, looked up at the concerned eyes of the two, and said confidently: "I believe that as long as I work hard, I will definitely succeed in this matter!" ”

Gu Cheng and Lin Yiming looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

And Gowen, in the silence of the two, went to the desk in the room and sat down, and then spread out the manuscript paper and wrote-

Invitation to the Chinese Hazy Poetry and Poetry Exhibition

Chinese poetry continues to wander...... Those who demand a solemn understanding from the public and society have long since risen all over the mountains. Authorities cannot understand and accept these facts through introspection......

I'm Govyn, an editor at Harvest magazine. I would like to hold a special event in Harvest magazine called "Chinese Hazy Poetry Exhibition", or "Chinese Poetry 1983 'Hazy Poetry Genre Exhibition'", and I am currently trying to convince my colleagues in the editorial department of Harvest to agree with my idea.

So I need your help, please give me your best and most mature works, and I will definitely try to make your best works appear in public publications, and if "Harvest" is not good, then go to other publications...... In short, please trust me!

Don't worry about your best work being buried, if one issue of Harvest is underpublished, then two, three, or even four...... Now we should officially raise the banner and claim the pie in the Chinese poetry circle!

…… The most attractive thing is not to receive the gaze of approval, but to observe and confirm oneself. Hazy poetry can write a manifesto without a manifesto, hazy poetry has no assertions we can write a proposition. There is no system for hazy poetry, we can build it ourselves! Because art always tells us, and we should always tell art!

Gowen
