But what they didn't expect was that as soon as the new issue of "Poetry Magazine" was released this morning, the phone in the editorial department kept ringing, and all of them were calling to talk to the great poet Haizi.
Tian Jian, the deputy editor who was in charge of answering the phone, explained over and over again that Haizi was a poet who submitted a manuscript and was not in the editorial department, so he could not talk to them.
They can write letters and send them to the editorial department of Poetry Magazine, and they will select the best ones and forward them to the poet Haizi.
"Ah! Editor-in-Chief Yan, please find someone to replace me! I really am... my throat is about to smoke. They are all here to look for Haizi."
Deputy Editor-in-Chief Tian Jian complained.
Editor-in-chief Yan Chen smiled and said: "This is more exciting! It seems that our Haizi's "A Generation" has once again achieved success and has been recognized by the majority of literature lovers!"
Yan Chen had actually anticipated this result when he first heard "A Generation" in the Baishan County Guesthouse.
With the preparation of "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming", plus the uniqueness of the poem "A Generation", it will definitely bring greater spiritual shock to the vast number of poetry lovers.
"Deputy Editor-in-Chief Tian, how about I take the call for a while?"
Editor Li Ying quickly took over the conversation.
After all, it was she who discovered the great poet Lin Huowang.
She always felt that she should be the one to answer these calls so as not to trouble Deputy Editor-in-Chief Tian Jian.
But when Tian Jian heard this, he suddenly didn't need her help anymore and said with a smile: "Forget it! Let me do it! I feel really good to hear these readers praising Haizi, "A Generation" and our "Poetry Magazine."
Yes.
These literary workers work hard for a month or two to prepare for the publication of a magazine. Isn't what they ultimately want to hear the voices that readers like and love?
"This is all thanks to our comrade Li Ying. Without her discovering the talented poet Haizi, would our Poetry Magazine be so popular now?"
Editor-in-chief Yan Chen praised Li Ying again, making Li Ying feel a little embarrassed.
She is very humble and self-aware. As an editor, she was purely lucky to come across the poetry manuscript submitted by Lin Huowang.
I believe that any editor would never bury a poem of such quality as "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming".
However, after returning from Baishan County, Li Ying learned through her family connections that in the literary world, the big names had polarized opinions about Haizi's poetry.
then……
She said to the editor-in-chief Yan Chen with some concern: "But, Editor-in-chief Yan, I heard that... Mr. Guo has a lot of opinions about Haizi's poems. He has criticized "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" more than once on many occasions.
Moreover, those literary young men who use "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" to chase girls have a bad social impact.
Do you think this will have a certain negative impact on Haizi himself?
Should we publish some statement in the next issue of Poetry Magazine to help Haizi clarify and explain the situation?"
"Hmm! I have also noticed this problem recently.
In fact, other things are easy to explain, such as the young man using this poem to propose love. It is not the poem's fault. This poem "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Bloom" is so well written that it can move the young woman. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Editor-in-chief Yan Chen also said very carefully, "It's just that it's hard to say what Mr. Guo's attitude will be. After all, you all know Mr. Guo's status in the literary world.
Even though Mr. Ba and Mr. Zhong insisted that "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming" was a good poem, they could not stop Mr. Guo from disliking and criticizing the poem.
Moreover, if Mr. Guo really wants to target Haizi, then... Haizi will be in big trouble..."
As soon as Chief Editor Yan Chen finished speaking, all the editors in the editorial department looked over at once.
Their expressions were not relaxed either, and everyone was worried about Haizi.
After all, the special period has just passed, and no one knows whether someone will be convicted for their words again!
If a poet as talented as Haizi really got into trouble because of a poem that displeased Mr. Guo, it would be a great tragedy for the domestic literary world.
But what you fear the most always happens.
When the editorial office was in dead silence, a powerful baritone shout suddenly came from outside the yard.
"Is anyone here? Is this the editorial office of Poetry Magazine? I'm Li Wenhe, a student of Mr. Guo. Mr. Guo asked me to deliver a letter."
As soon as Li Wenhe's voice sounded in the yard, everyone in the editorial department turned pale.
"It's over! It's over! Editor-in-chief, could it be that... Mr. Guo saw that we put Haizi's poem in the main poem position again and wrote a letter to warn us?"
Deputy Editor-in-Chief Tian Jian said with a pale face.
Li Ying was also very angry and said: "The editors of our Poetry Magazine all agree that Haizi's poems are good poems. No matter how authoritative Mr. Guo is, how can he interfere with the selection of our Poetry Magazine because of his personal preferences?"
"Comrade Li Ying! You just need to say these words here. When Li Wenhe comes in later, please don't say too much, okay?"
Editor-in-chief Yan Chen also felt like he was facing a great enemy. He quickly glared at the other editors in the editorial department, telling them to watch their mouths.
"Comrade Li Wenhe, come in! Our editorial office is over here."
