Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Yellow Earth Goes Public

Professor Du praised Jiang Yulou's selflessness, but also told him not to stretch it out, and it is still unknown whether this song can be selected in the end.

After all, it is already very close to the National Day, and even next year is very hanging.

But as long as it is chosen, it will be a good thing for the Central Conservatory of Music, as well as for Jiang Yulou and Liu Sola.

When Jiang Yulou left the central music, it was Liu Sola who sent him away, but along the way, Sola didn't give him a good look.

This made him feel strange, obviously he was fine before, and this time he helped her a lot.

No matter how old a woman is, she is always unpredictable.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is September 25th.

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 bi-monthly magazine that only publishes six issues a year, and it can generate sales of nearly half a million copies with six issues, which is already very remarkable.

It can be said that in today's field of pure literature, "Harvest" is unique.

In particular, this issue was the first in China, introducing Baodao writers, and serializing two novels in the magazine, Nie Hualing's "Taipei Loft", Yu Lihua's "Children of the Fu Family", and Bai Xianyong's short story "Dream in the Garden".

And Jiang Yulou's novels are mixed with a number of famous artists, which seems to be inconspicuous.

But when comments from Shaanxi appeared in the public eye, everything changed.

This has to start with road rumors.

When Jiang Yulou's "Yellow Earth" had not yet been submitted, I had already read the road ballad.

At that time, he was full of praise, and even praised Jiang Yulou as the future star of Shaanxi's literary circle.

Now, "Harvest" is finally on the market, but there are surprisingly few reviews of "Yellow Earth" in the print media.

Obviously, everyone didn't associate Jiang Yulou, who wrote "Yellow Earth", with Jiang Yulou, who published a collection of poems, at the beginning.

How can this work?

It must be discussed, if the Shaanxi literary circle wants to develop, someone must be in the front.

Since Liu Lao, Lu Yu feels that Jiang Yulou is expected to become the first person in Shaanxi's literary circle.

So, he contacted many writers and critics, and then contacted newspapers, and after talking to them, he shouted for Jiang Yulou's new work.

As the initiator, he wrote the first review.

"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 a clear judgment. Literature and art, as one of the art departments, of course, the fundamental purpose is also to seek beauty.

Of course, there are many levels of this beauty, from physical pleasure to psychological pleasure, excitement, intoxication, and resonance. Moreover, this pursuit of beauty can not exclude the pursuit of truth, and even at the highest level, it must include the pursuit of truth, but it must be in a way that conforms to the laws of aesthetics.

Literature and art also belong to one of the highest departments.

Jiang Yulou's novel "Yellow Earth" should be a popular literary work, and the author created this "Yellow Earth" through the storyline, character portrayal, and profound humanistic care. ”

A critic published his own review of the novel in the newspaper:

"'Yellow Earth' is undoubtedly a very good novel with universal humanistic concern. This novel, with the story as the shell, realizes the unity of the land, folk culture and characters. The quaint, desolate and profound folk customs of the Shaanxi Plateau leap onto the paper. Reading through the full text, I can't help but feel that I was moved by the author's discussion of national characteristics and the fate of peasants. ”

Comment after review appeared in the newspaper, arousing the curiosity of readers.

Is this novel really that good?

Just when the average reader hesitates, a bombshell appears.

That is the commentator's article published by the "Shaanxi Daily":

"The writer's job is to keep the reader's eye firmly on the book. The real artist is 'brutal', he wants to control your pulse and breathing. We've all had this experience. The death of Lin Daiyu in "Dream of Red Mansions", the death of Maslova in "Resurrection" about Maslova's final choice to go to Siberia with Simonsson to serve hard labor, and "Romeo and Juliet" in which Romeo took the real poison and Juliet woke up from anesthesia, and so on. This torturous effect often comes from the climax of the drama, and before that, the storyline leading to the climax is equally important, and if there is only the climax, the front is loose and dragging, and the climax effect must not be obtained.

Fortunately, "Yellow Earth" also achieved this effect, that is, Cui Qiao's death. When I read this work, I had already expected the ending, but I was still deeply attracted by the story, why? It's because of the story foreshadowing before the climax. Cui Qiao's death was a tragedy, but for the work "Yellow Earth", it was a success. ”

This can be regarded as being recognized by the official.

That is, Jiang Yulou is in Yanjing, and the news spreads slowly, otherwise, he doesn't know how excited he should be.

After the explosion of comments in the print media, this issue of "Harvest" also exploded, and "Yellow Earth" has also been recognized by more and more readers.

Especially the treasure land in Shaanxi has set off a frenzy of reading "Yellow Earth".

When this frenzy reached Yenching, a future director took notice of the work.

Chen Kaige is a student of Nortel in 1978, a sophomore this year, his father is a domestic director, and due to his family history, he has relatively high requirements for himself.

When his classmates were still learning directing knowledge, he had already begun to think about his future works, but unfortunately he never found a favorite subject until he saw this "Yellow Earth".

In the beginning, he didn't go for the adaptation. It's that this novel has been very popular recently, and you can hear comments on this novel everywhere you go.

He noticed a phenomenon that the novel was just a standard novel in the eyes of ordinary people. However, in the eyes of young intellectuals, especially female intellectuals, it is very different.

They sympathize with Cuiqiao's fate, and at the same time approve of Cuiqiao's struggle against fate, even if she may eventually lose her life.

This has not been mentioned in many previous reviews, and it seems that this novel still has a lot of potential to be tapped.

It was with this curiosity that he bought a copy of The Harvest and indulged in the story it described.

Generous, late-blooming, loud voice, elephant invisible.

This is the feeling that comes to him after reading through the novel.

If this novel were made into a movie, it would be beautiful.
