Rebirth 2003
Chapter 7
After two days, Lu Yang didn\'t go to the Internet cafe again. After military training and dinner every day, just like before, he took paper and pen, cigarettes and tea. He went to the top floor of No. 3 teaching building with the least people in the evening and entered a classroom with the least people. In an empty corner, he wrote a manuscript silently, lit a cigarette occasionally, or drank a cup of tea that was getting colder.
Endure loneliness, loneliness, is a novel writer, must bear.
There are not many shortcuts to success. Everything needs to talk about their own works.
This is an industry that speaks with strength!
Before rebirth, Lu Yang was so obsessed with writing novels, which is a very important reason.
Speak with strength! Is the greatest fairness.
Lu Yang likes fair competition!
As long as it is fair, he has no regrets whether he wins or loses!
In two days, Lu Yang wrote more than 12000 words every night.
The third day, a half month military training, came to the end.
After the military training results review meeting that day, Lu Yang didn\'t take his things to No. 3 teaching building to write a manuscript as he did the previous two nights.
Because tonight, the school\'s orientation party for freshmen will be held grandly in the activity hall.
Lu Yang didn\'t attend the orientation party when he was a freshman before his rebirth.
To be exact, Lu Yang didn\'t attend any party held by the University during his college years.
Because at that time, he only had novels in his eyes and heart. When he was a freshman, he was still addicted to reading novels like when he was in high school. After the freshman semester, he was either reading novels or writing novels.
His life has always been monotonous.
So monotonous that he doesn\'t want anything else to divide his time.
However, he didn\'t want to miss this new year\'s party.
He wants to experience all the people and things he should experience in college, and doesn\'t want to leave any regrets.
Because he was going to attend the orientation party tonight, after dinner, Lu Yang took a shower as usual, changed into a set of clean clothes, and waited in the bedroom.
The other five roommates also rarely gathered in the dormitory to wait for the time of the party.
When time approached, Lu Yang entered the largest activity Hall of the school with the surging crowd.
With thousands of new students and some old students who like to join the fun, the whole activity hall, which can accommodate four or five thousand people, is overcrowded.
Lu Yang was surprised by such a grand scene. Unexpectedly, this humble university usually doesn\'t look very impressive. A new year party can gather so many people.
At 8:00 p.m., the party began as scheduled.
At the beginning, it was a beautiful song and dance performance.
The scene of more than ten beautiful young girls singing and dancing on the stage made Lu Yang sigh that the University before his rebirth was really in vain. He didn\'t attend the school party. I don\'t know. It turned out that there were so many beautiful women in the university he didn\'t care about. An ordinary song and dance performance could concentrate so many young and beautiful girls.
After that, there were highlights in each performance. Lu Yang sat quietly in the middle seat and watched quietly. There were so many young and beautiful schoolsisters that he was dazzled.
Spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums have their own advantages.
Let Lu Yang truly realize the true meaning of "there is no fragrant grass at the end of the world".
The ancients did not deceive me.
There are so many beautiful women in the world.
As long as men are good enough, they will never lack women!
Big husband, why not have a wife?
I often hear that the ancients were so confident in film and television works. Now it seems that it really makes sense!
With this idea in mind, when Lu Yang looked at the various beauties that appeared one after another on the stage, his heart was no longer as ready to move as before.
He knows that at present, he does not have the capital of those beautiful women. About feelings, he doesn\'t want to repeat the mistakes before rebirth.
The party didn\'t last long. It ended in two hours.
After that, Lu Yang returned to the dormitory, picked up paper, pen and cigarettes, and went to No. 3 teaching building. While it was still some time before 12 o\'clock, Lu Yang wanted to write more manuscripts. Since he had made a decision, Lu Yang would not allow himself to waste time at will.
……
Time is like running water. Whether people pay attention or not, it will always pass forward at its inherent speed.
Soon, more than a week passed.
Lu Yang has almost 60000 words in his hand. When he finished writing the manuscript that night and stopped writing, it came to more than 12 o\'clock at night.
Lu Yang habitually takes the manuscript written today to the back of the school and eats spicy hot every night. Lu Yang is a little angry recently. He comes out these nights to eat stewed noodles, and so is tonight.
After a bowl of stewed noodles was snored in the west, Lu Yang hesitated. Then he didn\'t go back to the dormitory directly as he had been for more than a week, but came to Xingyu Internet cafe with his manuscript.
It has been twelve days since the manuscript was submitted, and Lu Yang has been thinking about it.
Lu Yang remembers that there are two publishing houses in Taiwan that review manuscripts very quickly. Other publishing houses review manuscripts in half a month or even a month, but those two publishing houses often only need more than a week.
The two publishing houses are within the scope of Lu Yang\'s contribution this time.
He chose an empty computer at will and opened it. Lu Yang was a little uneasy and entered his Netease e-mail.
The mailbox is opened, and the inbox position shows two new messages.
With the mouse click to open the inbox, Lu Yang saw two new emails, which were indeed the two publishing houses with the fastest review speed in his memory.
Did you pass?
Before opening the mail, Lu Yang found that his heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot. He could almost hear his heartbeat.
At this time, Lu Yangcai suddenly found that he was not as confident as he imagined. At the critical moment, he would also be nervous, and his heart beat faster like the first submission before rebirth.
Mingming had great confidence in his "doomsday wasteland", but at this time, he was still worried that he would be rejected by the two publishing houses.
The two publishing houses are the fastest reviewers. In fact, they are not only the fastest reviewers, but also the lowest standards for collecting manuscripts.
In other words, if the submission of a novel is rejected by the two publishing houses at the same time, it basically means that no matter which publishing house in Taiwan, it is 90% possible that the novel will be rejected.
Therefore, although only two replies from five publishers were received this time, it almost completely means the future of Lu Yang\'s book.
If both publishers refuse to publish their replies, his book "doomsday wasteland" will only be published on the Internet at most.
In 2003, a novel that can only be published on the Internet, even if it can be successfully sold on the shelves, is doomed to make little money.
At this time, the e-subscription of online novels has just begun, and few users are willing to pay for the subscription.
This novel doesn\'t make much money. It\'s not a big problem for Lu Yang today. The problem is that if this novel can\'t be published, it will be a great blow to Lu Yang\'s confidence!
He will inevitably doubt the route he will take after his rebirth.
Will seriously doubt their judgment on the market and their ability to write.
With an uneasy mood, Lu Yang first ordered the reply from e publishing house.
"Hello wencho! Thank you for your contribution to our society. Our editor has reviewed your contribution. Congratulations on your contribution passing the final review of our society. Please contact me as soon as possible to discuss the signing of the publication contract. - Zhu Wensi Quanyong, Yingying."
E publishing house is the publishing house that published Lu Yang\'s first novel before rebirth.
Seeing the news that the e publishing house had passed the examination, Lu Yang\'s heart hung and fell suddenly.
With this positive reply, it means that there is no problem in the publication of his "doomsday wasteland".
After the hanging heart was put down, Lu Yang opened the reply from F publishing house.
"Hello, Wen Chou! First of all, thank you for your contribution. I have good news to inform you that the editorial group of our society believes that your work" doomsday wasteland "has good market value and can be published. Please contact me as soon as possible. - in addition, I wish Wen Chou Jun good health and literary talent - Dayong."
It is another letter that has passed the examination.
Both letters were approved.
This let Lu Yang\'s heart completely relax.
Sure enough, I didn\'t expect it! My judgment is right!
Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He leaned back on the computer chair with a smile and looked at the two replies on the computer screen. His self-confidence came back completely.
After his rebirth, his decision to continue writing novels has been strengthened.
