Chapter 108: Accidentally Becoming a Role Model
A few days later, Jiang Yulou received a call from the Harvest Editorial Department, saying that they were the ones who sent "Yellow Earth" to the National Outstanding Short Story Award.
Now that the results are out, "Yellow Earth" has successfully won the award, and I hope he can attend the award ceremony in Beijing.
It is said that it is an award ceremony, but it is not very grand.
After that, the editor vaguely invited Jiang Yulou to join the Magic Capital's Writers' Association, but Jiang Yulou refused.
He is not from the Demon Capital, and he doesn't know anyone, so what are you doing when he joins the Magic Capital's Writers' Association.
If you want to join, you also want to join the Shaanxi or Yanjing Writers' Association.
It's a pity that there is no movement in the writers' associations in these two places.
He is also quite puzzled, obviously ordinary writers can enter the writers' association after publishing an article, but what about him?
published two novels and a collection of poems, but no one has mentioned it.
Just when he felt a little melancholy, Lu Yu came to the door.
Jiang Yulou took his hand and warmly welcomed: "Brother Lu, why are you here?" Let's go out for a meal and wash the dust for you. ”
"No, no, no, that's embarrassing." Lu Yu hurriedly refused.
He is also an editor who eats national food, so he is embarrassed to let a student have a treat.
Jiang Yulou said with a straight face: "Yes, Brother Lu, if you refuse, I will not recognize our friendship." ”
"Alas, okay. Let's start by saying that we can't eat expensive food, just ordinary food. Lu Yu admonished.
Jiang Yulou agreed with a smile, but in fact, he took him to Donglaishun to eat hot pot.
At first, Lu Yu still refused, but Jiang Yulou was too enthusiastic, but he couldn't help it, so he could only accept it.
After eating two bites of meat, his eyes lit up, and it tasted really good!
I dare not say that it is a rare delicacy in the country, but it is a must in Yanjing.
After two bottles of wine and some meat, the two gradually became warm, as if they had returned to the time before Jiang Yulou came to Yanjing.
At this time, Lu Yu finally explained his intention.
Lu Yu's face was ruddy, and he said a little proudly: "Brother, I was stimulated by you, and I wrote hard, and finally got some results." ”
"Oh, is Brother Lu inspired to write?" Jiang Yulou was surprised.
"Alas, a little ashamed. I've actually been writing the book I've just finished for a while, but unfortunately for various reasons, it's been written intermittently. It wasn't until I met you in Yulou and saw that you published several quite good works in a short period of time that I began to reflect on my behavior. ”
Lu Yu sighed: "I have been asking myself in my heart whether I like writing and whether I regard writing as my life's work. Then I had the answer. ”
"Yulou, I really like to write, and sometimes I even forget to sleep and eat when I write. However, for some reasons, I can't always devote myself to it. Now that I want to open up, I must learn from you when I write, and devote myself to it. ”
Jiang Yulou was stunned, did I accidentally become an example?
He swallowed his saliva, and the opposite side was a great writer in the future, a great writer!
For a while, Jiang Yulou only felt ashamed.
"Hehe, 'There is no before and after learning, and the master is the teacher.'" There is no need for Yulou to feel embarrassed. Lu Yu took a sip of wine and said with a smile.
Jiang Yulou suddenly thought of something and asked, "Brother Lu, then which magazine invited you to revise the manuscript when you came to Yanjing this time?" ”
Lu Yu was quite complacent, stuffed a mouthful of meat into his mouth, chewed it twice and swallowed it into his stomach, and then said with a satisfied face: "That's right, I was lucky to be favored by the contemporary editorial department." ”
"Contemporary? Congratulations. "Jiang Yulou is sincere congratulations.
He remembers that many novels have been published in contemporary times, and it is still 79 years old, and it should not be "Ordinary World". In this case, it should affect Jack Ma's "Life".
Jiang Yulou asked, "Brother Lu, do you have a name for your work?" ”
"Yes, the title of the book is Life." Lu Yu said.
Sure enough, it's this novel.
The novel "Life" can be said to have changed the fate of the road ballad, and it also caused a sensation in the year it was published.
"Huh? My "Secret Calculation" was also published in "Contemporary", so it can't be the same issue, right? Jiang Yulou frowned slightly, and thought silently in his heart.
Although it is not an important matter, he still wants to stagger with the novel of Lu Yu.
It's not that he's afraid of comparison, but he wants to be alone and enjoy the honor he deserves.
Jiang Yulou asked with concern: "Brother Lu Yu, you are not familiar with the place in Yanjing, where do you live?" ”
Lu Yu touched his belly, which was already five points full, and said with a smile: "I came here to live in the guest house provided by the editorial department." Hehe, although I don't care about eating here, it's not too much of a problem to control it. ”
He doesn't have much money with him, but it's enough to save a little money.
Anyway, he's embarrassed to trouble others.
Jiang Yulou said seriously: "Brother Lu, if you need help, don't be polite to me." ”
"I see." Lu Yu nodded, and his heart was even warmer.
This brother is really worth it!
"By the way, Yulou, your novel is going to win an award!"
"Brother Lu, do you know too?"
Jiang Yulou was a little embarrassed.
"Well, the circle of writers in the provincial city has spread, and everyone is applauding you."
"Big guy."
Jiang Yulou's expression was moved, obviously he hadn't met before......
Is this the local feeling?
"Yulou, you see that you have won the award now, do you hurry up and fill out a form to join our Provincial Writers' Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles?" Lu Yu's face was very serious, grabbed Jiang Yulou's hand, and said, "Don't refuse, I'm coming back with a mission." ”
Otherwise, when you go to receive the award, people ask, eh? Such an excellent writer is not even a member of the Provincial Writers' Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles?
Hey, isn't this just a joke in writers' circles?
Those who know that Yulou has not been writing for a long time may not say anything, but those who don't know it will have to say that the Provincial Writers' Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles are a group of blind and jealous guys.
Alas, the people of our provincial writers' association are not willing to bear this name.
Jiang Yulou has wanted to join for a long time, isn't he waiting for your invitation.
So, he hurriedly said modestly, "Actually, I have had this idea for a long time, it's not that I'm worried that my level is not enough." Since Brother Lu said so, I will write an application when I go back. ”
As soon as he said this, Lu Yu was relieved.
This meal was very down-to-earth, very comfortable, and very satisfying.
Everything that should be said has been said, and then he will wait for Yulou's application.
Jiang Yulou sent Lu Yu back to the guest house, and after settling him, he returned to the school dormitory.
After that, he took out a pen and paper and began to write the application.
He had only written the beginning when he paused.
Hey, how do you write this thing?
