Chapter 44 Solidarity with Jiang Yulou
That's right, what this meeting is really going to discuss is Jiang Yulou.
As for the reason, it is still the criticism of Jiang Yulou in the newspaper in the past two days.
It stands to reason that Jiang Yulou's affairs have little to do with the society, Yanhe Literature is just the publisher, Jiang Yulou provides the works, Yanhe pays, and that's it.
However, there were also those who did not agree with this view, hence the seminar.
At the meeting, two points of view were formed.
"President Lei, I think the club should be a watcher, Jiang Yulou has little to do with the club, we are only cooperating with him for the first time, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, there is no need to set himself on fire for him."
The first point of view was put forward by the vice president, and many editors and staff members agreed with it.
"Yes, it's not like we didn't pay him in the club."
"We didn't cut off with him, we have already done our best."
"No, a few years earlier, let alone the manuscript fee, you have to recover the money he got it."
"We all have our own troubles, where can we take care of other people's idle things."
President Lei watched expressionlessly as a group of people led by the vice president spoke one by one, his expression remained unchanged, and others couldn't guess what he was thinking.
Editor-in-Chief Sun was very angry, the faces of these people in front of him made him disgusting, afraid of difficult things, wise and self-preservation, and they had forgotten the ethics of the older generation of literary and artistic workers?
So, Editor-in-Chief Sun spoke: "I think the society must support Jiang Yulou in the newspaper. ”
He looked at the vice president and others again: "We literary and art workers must have a conscience and integrity, and we can't be so afraid of dying because of a period of experience that we don't even want to lose our face." ”
The faces of the vice president and others changed dramatically, and they retorted:
"Editor-in-Chief Sun's words have been said, and we are also for the good of the society."
"That's right, our magazine will only resume publication this year, and if there is a mess and it is banned, we will become sinners in the society."
"Who says it's not, who can see the current situation clearly, it's better to be cautious!"
President Lei ignored their grievances, and instead looked at Editor-in-Chief Sun: "What is the reason? It is not impossible for the society to support Comrade Jiang Yulou, but the reason must be convincing to the public. ”
Editor-in-Chief Sun glanced at Lu Yu who was sitting beside him, and Lu Yu stood up with understanding and said:
"Leaders, comrades, I agree with Editor-in-Chief Sun's views for three reasons.
The first point is that the cause of this incident was that the central media first reported on Jiang Yulou.
The reports on the "People's M Daily" have been reviewed at various levels, and since the above believes that there is no problem and affirms his efforts, the critics' arguments are naturally untenable. ”
Some of the neutral editors nodded in agreement.
Since it is neutral, he must be sympathetic to Jiang Yulou in his heart, but he has more concerns, and the method of Lu Yu is to dispel their concerns and win more people to support Jiang Yulou.
So, he continued to do so:
There is also a second point, although there are many voices criticizing Jiang Yulou, they are also divided into two factions, one faction is too up-to-line and has sinister intentions, and the other faction has suggestions for him, some of which are still more pertinent. Therefore, there are not many people who really want to bring down Jiang Yulou. ”
When they think about it, too.
Carefully distinguish the recent newspaper comments, the criticism is the most severe, and even some vicious people are just two or three, and their fame is not the greatest, and it is estimated that they want to step on Jiang Yulou to become famous.
At this point, a neutral editor couldn't help but say:
"But the people of our magazine are soft-spoken, and their voices are not as loud as those of the critics."
"Who said that?" Lu Yu asked rhetorically, and then laughed and said:
"This is the third point I want to say, comrades have not noticed, so far no one in our Shaanxi writers' group has spoken out on this matter?"
As soon as he said this, everyone thought about it, and it was true.
There are many great writers in Shaanxi, and although a few famous ones are gradually withering, the power of the new school is not weak.
But why can't they be heard?
Someone asked, "Editor Lu, why is that?" ”
"It should be that our writers in Shaanxi are also watching!" Lu Yu glanced around at the people in the conference room and said: "This matter can be big or small, the writers of the Shaozhuang School in Shaanxi have an inextricable relationship with our Yanhe, and everyone is watching our actions." ”
"As the publisher of Jiang Yulou's love poems, if we don't support Jiang Yulou, writers will definitely have a lot of concerns about whether to submit to us in the future. It is not alarmist to even stop voting for our magazine altogether. Our Yanhe should be Jiang Yulou's strong backing, and we should be the first to speak out in solidarity with Jiang Yulou! ”
"Well said!"
"If we don't do anything, it will really chill the hearts of writers."
"If trust no longer exists, our magazine is in danger."
"I think our club should still support Jiang Yulou."
The neutrals were completely persuaded by the rumors this time.
Seeing that his own way is weak, the vice president is still making the last struggle, "I heard that there are not many people who like Jiang Yulou's two love poems, and they only bought our magazine because of their fame, and they all regretted it afterwards." Moreover, a lot of criticism came from the literary youth. ”
Editor-in-Chief Sun snorted coldly and said, "The vice president is wrong this time. ”
"What?" The vice president was stunned for a moment.
Editor-in-Chief Sun coughed dryly, and soon several of his editors took out many letters and put them on the table.
There were more and more letters, and they were almost all over the table.
The vice president was dissatisfied: "Editor-in-chief Sun, what do these letters mean? ”
"These are the letters of the masses." Editor-in-chief Sun said: "Most of these letters were mailed to our Yanhe, and seven or eight out of ten of them were readers of Jiang Yulou's two love poems, and they had a very good sense of these two poems. Many people said in the letter that his two poems have become cultural symbols, and anyone who can't memorize them is not worthy of being a literary youth. ”
"That was before criticizing Jiang Yulou...... vice president retorted.
"More in solidarity with Jiang Yulou." Editor-in-chief Sun said calmly: "Do you want to take a look?" ”
The vice president's expression was slightly sluggish, how could this be?
Why don't the masses be superstitious about authority?
A smile appeared on the corner of President Lei's mouth: "Okay, since everyone's speeches are over, and there are several opinions at the meeting, let's raise our hands to vote." ”
The next day, Shaanxi's largest newspaper, the Shaanxi Daily, published several articles.
Yanhe Literature (Lei Le): "On Views on Contemporary Love Poetry"
