On the morning of May 2, Yu Dong was immersed in preparing lesson plans in his office.
Because the response to the last general education course was very good, Wu Changxin thought that we should continue our efforts, strike while the iron is hot, and offer another course this semester.
The course has been set, and we will continue with "Drama in Literary Works" and "Literaryness in Drama."
At about ten o'clock, Hu Changqing walked in with a smile.
He placed a copy of "Zhongshan" magazine in front of Yu Dong, "You Yu, you are too low-key. If I hadn't seen the wishing stone written in the novel, and then paid attention to the author, I wouldn't have known you were there again.
"Zhongshan" published the novel."
When Hu Changqing said this, several other teachers in the office were alarmed. He Yu was the most active and leaned over at once, "Is it true? Lao Yu's work has been published in "Zhongshan" again. I will also order it."
I’ve been to Zhongshan, but I haven’t had time to see it yet.”
Li Zhenguo from the Department of Vocal Music couldn't help but sigh, "Teacher Yu, you have really made full use of your time. Didn't you have two novels in "Science Fiction World" a few days ago? Plus "Zhongshan", there are three.
.I see that you are busy at work every day, and you have to work overtime and give lectures at night, how do you find the time?"
"Yes, we are very busy with the work at hand every day." Another teacher nodded with deep sympathy.
Hu Changqing looked at them, rolled his eyes and said, "On days off, people lock themselves in their rooms and don't go out or step out the door. Look at you, what do you do on your days off? Time is a sponge.
As long as you are willing to squeeze out the water inside, you will definitely be able to squeeze it out."
Then he said to Yu Dong with a smile, "You, you did a good job this time, keep up the good work. You can work first, and I won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, he walked out of the big office. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Liu Changmin coming with a magazine in his arms.
"Secretary Hu is here." Liu Changmin said hello with a smile.
Hu Changqing looked at the magazine in Liu Changmin's hand with a smile. It was a copy of "Harvest", and then said: "Changmin, you made the wrong choice today. You should read "Zhongshan" first."
Liu Changmin didn't understand why, and raised the "Harvest" magazine in his hand, "It's a good thing I read "Harvest" first, otherwise I wouldn't know that Yu Dong has published new works."
After saying this to Hu Changqing, Liu Changmin walked into the office with the magazine in his arms. Before he reached Yu Dong, he shouted: "Yu Dong, you are too low-key. We meet every day and we don't even see you."
Feng, your novel in "Harvest"..."
Hearing Liu Changmin's words, Hu Changqing, who was standing at the door, was dumbfounded, and the other teachers in the classroom were also dumbfounded.
Liu Changmin took "Harvest" and felt that something was not right about the atmosphere in the office. He asked with a puzzled look: "Is there anything I don't know about?"
He Yu was the first to react. He held up "Zhongshan" and said to Liu Changmin: "Old Liu, Lao Yu also published a novel in "Zhongshan". We were just talking about it."
This time it was Liu Changmin's turn to be dumbfounded.
…
Yu Dong published two novels in "Harvest" and "Zhongshan" at the same time, which caused quite a stir in the school.
All in all, after Yu Dong arrived at Jinyi, he had published four novels in "Zhongshan" and "Harvest" in less than two semesters.
You know, these two magazines are bimonthly, and they haven’t published many issues in total in the past few months.
Yu Dong's frequency of publishing manuscripts is truly the treatment of a famous artist.
If Yu Dong published two novels in "Zhongshan" and "Harvest" before, some people thought it was just a sudden inspiration or luck. But now with the frequency of publishing, they have to admit that Yu Dong's
strength.
However, many students in the school are not concerned about the frequency of Yu Dong's manuscripts at this time. They are more concerned about the wishing stone written in "Lu Xiulan".
In the novel "Lu Xiulan", Yu Dong uses the first-person perspective at the beginning, telling an incident that happened in the school a few years ago from the perspective of a teacher.
There was a mentally disturbed woman who went to school every day to "visit" the wishing stone for a certain period of time. Later, she was kicked away by the school security because she often didn't wear clothes.
One day a few years later, "I" met a colleague from my former school on the road, and we talked about this matter while chatting.
From here on in the novel, the perspective begins to change, from one "I" to another "I", and the subsequent events are narrated by colleagues using a mixture of first-person and third-person perspectives.
So the story actually starts with a wishing stone in school.
Yu Dong did not point out the name of the school "Jinyi" in the novel, only using the word "school" instead.
But students of Jinyi all know that this school refers to Jinyi, and the wishing stone mentioned in it is the one at the door of the library.
Teacher Yu wrote the wishing stone into the novel!
…
On May 4th Youth Day, Yu Dong had just handed over his teaching plan to Wu Changxin. As he was coming out of the principal's office, he met He Yu.
As soon as He Yu saw Yu Dong, he greeted him with a smile, "Old Yu, you now have the title of patron saint."
Hearing He Yu's words, Yu Dong was a little confused, "Old He, what do you mean by this? What is the patron saint?"
"Haha, you don't know yet. I'll take you to the library entrance and you'll know."
After arriving at the entrance of the library, Yu Dong was immediately amused by the scene in front of him.
I don’t know who the talented person was, but he made a small wooden board and inserted it next to the wishing stone.
On the wooden board is written "The prototype of the wishing stone in the classic masterpiece "Lu Xiulan"", as well as some history and legends about this stone.
In addition, there is also a sentence written at the bottom: "This is a cultural relic, please do not damage it."
"Look, you have now become the patron saint of the wishing stone. Those students who were reluctant to part with the stone took your tiger skin and made it into a banner."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yu Dong smiled and shrugged, "Let them do it. It doesn't matter if my name is used by them, but the school may not buy it."
"Then let's wait and see."
…
What Yu Dong didn't expect was that the school really bought into it and acted very quickly.
The very next day, May 5th, the school issued an announcement to provide further notice on the disposal of the wishing stone.
The notice stated that considering the students' sentiments towards the wishing stone, the school decided not to deal with it for the time being and would move the stone to the entrance of the Government Affairs Building when the school gate is rebuilt.
Attentive people have noticed that this notice directly refers to the stone as the "wishing stone", which is considered to be true to the name.
As soon as this announcement came out, the reputation of the wishing stone in the school rose to a higher level. At the same time, what people remembered was the article "Lu Xiulan" that made it stay.
Although the school's announcement stated that it would not dispose of the wishing stone because it took the students' feelings into consideration, everyone knows that if "Annie Lu" had not been released, the school would not have changed its decision.
In this way, Yu Dong inexplicably became the "patron saint of the wishing stone" again.
He Yu and Feng Ming, the two idiots who love making noises, naturally would not miss this opportunity. For several days after this incident, these two people called Yu Dong "Guardian Saint Comrade Yu Dong"
”.
…
"Guardian Saint Comrade Yu Dong, someone is looking for you."
At noon on May 9, when Yu Dong was preparing to take a nap, he heard Feng Ming's loud shout from outside.
Yu Dong stood up and looked out through the window, only to see Su Tong standing next to Feng Ming.
After Feng Ming shouted, he pointed to Yu Dong's room and said to Su Tong, "He should be in the room."
Su Tong nodded and thanked him, and walked towards Yu Dong's room.
When Yu Dong saw it was Su Tong, he walked out of the room to greet him.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"Can't I come and see you?" Su Tong smiled and asked, "Why did that person just call you Comrade Yu Dong, the patron saint? Do you still have a nickname in school?"
Yu Dong smiled and waved his hand, "That's my colleague Feng Ming, who usually loves to make fun."
"It's good. Having a nickname proves that you have integrated well." Then Su Tong entered Yu Dong's room and looked around, "Your room is quite simple."
"I live alone and have few things."
"I live alone now, and it's much messier than you. Speaking of which, the school conditions are better now. When I first came here, we had such a big house, and two people lived together. At that time, I had roommates.
, when it’s not convenient for me to write, I often go to Han Dong and others.”
Yu Dong nodded. He had heard this matter from Han Dong and the others before when they had dinner.
It was also during that time that the relationship between the three of them gradually established.
Yu Dong made a cup of tea for Su Tong. Su Tong took the tea cup and smelled it, "Your tea is quite good."
"I don't know much about tea myself. I usually drink it alone. This tea was given by my colleague, the one who just talked to you."
"So I'm not worried about you at school. Although you don't talk much, you have the ability to quickly integrate into the environment." Su Tong smiled and blew on the tea, and then said, "No, last time
After meeting Zhang Yimou and the others, he was very impressed with you. He called me yesterday afternoon and told me that he would come to Jinling in the next two days. He told me again and again that he must invite you."
"Director Zhang is coming over. As the host, we should make the arrangements. It was you who invited me last time, senior brother. Leave this opportunity to me." Yu Dong said with a smile.
Su Tong was not polite and nodded, "You are a big business now, so I have no psychological burden at all eating from you. Since you said so, I will call him back later and ask him to come over at some time."
"Well, did he say what it was for?" Yu Dong asked.
"That's not what he said. He just said that he was in a hurry last time and was a little rude. This time he came here to visit." At this point, Su Tong reached into his pocket and touched it, as if to get a cigarette. Then he stopped and asked
Yu Dong: "Is it convenient for me to smoke here?"
"It doesn't matter." Yu Dong reached out and brought him a teacup, "I don't have an ashtray here, you can make do with this."
Su Tong pushed the tea cup back and found the trash can, "The cup is for drinking water, I can just use this."
Then he lit a cigarette, took a comfortable puff, and continued, "Although he didn't say it explicitly, I could understand the underlying meaning. He should be here for you this time."
"For me?" Yu Dong said in surprise.
Su Tong narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Isn't this easy to understand? He probably didn't expect you to be so powerful last time and underestimated you, so he's trying to make amends this time."
"I didn't feel slighted at all."
"The problem is that he feels different from you, and you have to be mentally prepared, maybe he will come to you to talk about cooperation."
Then Su Tong did not answer Dong Bian, and Su Tong continued to analyze for him: "Last year, Zhang Yimou originally planned to shoot "Chicken Feathers in a Place". At that time, their filming team all went to the mountain city, and later gave up the project. According to him,
I said it was because I couldn’t find the feeling.”
"Later, he accidentally saw Chen Yuanbin's "The Lawsuit" by Chen Yuanbin from "Chinese Writers", and became interested in this novel again, so he made "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" instead. Now that the film has been completed, it may be possible in a few days
It will be released in a month. During this time, Zhang Yimou should be thinking about what to make for his next movie."
While Su Tong was talking, Yu Dong was also recalling and thinking. In his impression, after Zhang Yimou finished filming "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", he should be filming "Alive".
However, "Alive" has not been published yet, so Zhang Yimou may not have been exposed to it yet.
If he really came here to talk about making a movie, then which of his novels is he interested in?
Yu Dong went through all the novels he had published in his mind. First of all, he must have excluded those science fiction novels. The remaining ones were "Hou Yi", "Mending the Sky" and "Death of a Widow".
Chapter.
"Lu Xiulan" is only half published, so it should not be considered by him.
"Mending the Sky" and "Hou Yi" obviously don't match Zhang Yimou's style. The most likely one is "Death of a Widow".
"I suspect that he is interested in "Death of a Widow." Su Tong said again.
Yu Dong looked at Su Tong, nodded and said, "This is the most likely possibility."
But then he smiled and shook his head, "Of course this is all speculation. Maybe he came here just for a visit this time and may not necessarily talk about cooperation."
"Well, your mentality is good. I am telling you this to prepare you mentally. Otherwise, you will be caught off guard when he mentions this to you."
At this point, Su Tong finished smoking. He put out the cigarette butt and took two more sips of hot tea. Then he chewed the tea leaves and stood up and said: "I came here today just to tell you this. I am not better than you.
I still have to go to work in the afternoon. The club is still busy, so I will go back first. You can go to the club the day after tomorrow, and I will tell you the specific time then."
Yu Dong also stood up, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll see you off."
Su Tong blocked it with his hand, "It's a joke that I came to school and asked you to send me to school. Don't forget, I've been here several years longer than you. Just do your thing, I'm leaving."
Chapter completed!
