Rebirth 2003

Chapter 9



Of the five publishing houses submitted by Lu Yang, two refused to publish, and three passed the final review and were willing to publish.

On the surface, it seems so.

But in fact, this is not the case.

Because a publishing house has always only published the works of famous masters, and has always followed the line of famous masters. It is not the works of famous masters well known to the public, and it does not consider publishing at all.

Therefore, in fact, there are only four publishers that may publish Lu Yang\'s novels.

Of the four publishing houses, only one refused.

If so understood, Lu Yang\'s book "doomsday wasteland" is still very popular with the publishing house.

After reading the reply from C publishing house, Lu Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief. This time he chose to wait for the reply from these three publishers. The strength of C publishing house completely exceeds that of e publishing house and f publishing house, and the distribution capacity is far higher than that of those two publishing houses. If the doomsday wasteland can be published in C publishing house, it will certainly be seen by more readers in Taiwan, It is very helpful to enhance Lu Yang\'s popularity in Taiwan. If we can cooperate with C publishing house for a long time in the future, Lu Yang\'s development prospects will definitely be much better.

With C Publishing House agreeing to publish, it doesn\'t matter whether e publishing house and f publishing house have changed their publishing ideas.

However, Lu Yang was still a little curious about whether e publishing house and f publishing house had changed their minds.

Therefore, Lu Yang successively opened four replies published by the two companies.

After reading all the four replies, Lu Yang smiled.

All the four letters urged him to contact them as soon as possible and sign a contract. None of them changed his mind because he didn\'t reply a week late.

This made Lu Yang feel a little funny. He laughed that he was too timid this week. He had nothing at all, but he worried about gain and loss for so many days.

Lu Yang didn\'t waste any more time this time. In fact, he also hoped that his works could be signed and published as soon as possible, get the royalties one day earlier, and change his current poor economic situation.

Then write back to C publishing house and ask about the signing treatment.

It happened that the other party was just online. Within a few minutes of Lu Yang\'s e-mail reply, the other party replied with the electronic document of the signed contract.

Lu Yang spent more than ten minutes reading the reply and the contract.

I found that the signing treatment was as common as in my memory.

Each episode of manuscript is 65000 words, the remuneration is 4500 yuan, and at least one episode of manuscript shall be delivered every month.

Lu Yang knows that at this time, most publishing houses in Taiwan, large or small, give new authors the same treatment, and there is almost no room for bargaining.

However, Lu Yang tried to ask if the remuneration could be increased a little.

As a result, the other party answered positively that it was decided by the editorial department, and he had no right to increase the remuneration, but after the completion of this work, depending on the sales of the work, he could increase the remuneration when signing the next work.

Lu yangben asked this question with a try attitude. Since the other party refused, he stopped talking nonsense and agreed to sign the contract immediately.

Lu Yang knows that he is not famous yet. His first work is not qualified to bargain with the publishing house.

I just want to publish this first work smoothly, accumulate a certain popularity, and then talk about the treatment in the future.

In order to avoid long dreams, Lu Yang printed out the electronic document of the contract sent to him by C publishing house that night at the typing and copying agency outside the school, signed his pseudonym and real name, and went to the post office to send the contract shortly after getting up the next morning.

According to "salmon", the editor of C publishing house, the publishing house will charge the royalties for the first episode, and the royalties will be distributed from the second episode.

He also said that after receiving the contract, they will arrange the publishing house of doomsday wasteland as soon as possible. Before each episode goes on the market, they will send two sample books to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang is looking forward to these.

Whether it\'s the royalties or the two sample books sent to him.

After the contract was sent out, there was nothing wrong with Lu Yang. The rest was waiting for news from the publishing house.

During this period, what Lu Yang needs to do is just write the follow-up manuscript at ease.

As a web writer with no background, everything can only be said by his own works.

If what one does not suck, nothing will happen.

Money, fame and wealth are all missed.

Even trying to earn money for a pack of cigarettes would be extravagant.

Lu Yang knows this truth.

Therefore, after that, Lu Yang\'s pace of life returned to its original shape. He had classes every day, went to No. 3 teaching building at night, and casually entered a classroom with the least number of people to write.

When the state is not good and there is no inspiration, take the written manuscript and go to Xingyu Internet cafe to input the text on the manuscript paper into the computer, make it into an electronic document and store it in the e-mail.

Before long, Lu Yang sent the manuscript of the second episode.

In life, the only change is probably during the day.

Those who have gone to college, and even many who have not, know that college life is very free.

The most direct embodiment of this freedom lies in personal time control.

Compared with junior high school and senior high school, the curriculum arrangement of university is only one tenth of that of junior high school or senior high school at most.

Not only do I often have no classes all morning or afternoon, but I have a complete rest on Saturday and Sunday. The most incredible thing is that I can skip classes.

Many teachers don\'t call the roll in class. No matter whether you go to class or not, no one cares about you.

There are also professional courses and non professional courses.

Especially for non professional courses, most non professional teachers don\'t care whether the students arrive or not. Even if you don\'t go to a class in a semester, the teachers don\'t care about you.

This freedom gives Lu Yang time to practice boxing during the day.

Since he joined the martial arts club last time and became the first member of the martial arts club except the president, Lu Yang has incorporated boxing practice into his university planning.

Lu Yang hopes that through several years of practice in college, he can have a strong body in his life. He will no longer be as sub-healthy and powerless as before his rebirth.

Because he wants to practice, during the day, when Lu Yang doesn\'t have classes in the morning or afternoon, he will change into his newly bought sportswear, bring the same newly bought boxers and go to the classroom of the martial arts club to practice boxing.

Sometimes when I go, the president Teng Hu is also there. When I see Lu Yang taking the initiative to practice boxing, Teng Hu will show a smile and give Lu Yang some advice.

Sometimes when he went, Teng Hu was not there. Fortunately, Teng Hu had already given Lu Yang the key to the classroom of the martial arts club, so Lu Yang could go in and practice alone.

Practising boxing is a physical activity, which also requires attention.

Naturally, it\'s hard and tired. As long as you practice for a while, you\'ll be sweating.

This had long been expected by Lu Yang. Although he was bitter and tired, Lu Yang didn\'t flinch.

Before Lu Yang\'s rebirth, although he didn\'t practice boxing, he was patient by nature. Otherwise, he couldn\'t write novels alone for ten years.

Lu Yang doesn\'t care about the hard work of practicing boxing.

Especially when he obviously feels that his physical quality is getting better and better with the practice days getting longer and longer.

Lu Yang always doesn\'t care how much he pays.

As long as he pays and gains, he will feel worth it.

As long as he thinks it\'s worth it, he can stick to it all the time.

Writing novels is the same as practicing boxing.

That day, Lu Yang had no classes in the afternoon. After lunch, he returned to the dormitory. He had just changed his sportswear and shoes, put on his boxers, and was about to practice boxing. The monitor walked into Lu Yang\'s dormitory with a thick registered letter.

"Lu Yang! Your letter."

The monitor smiled and handed the thick registered letter to Lu Yang. Lu Yang was stunned and quickly said thank you.

Seeing the address of Taiwan written on the registered letter, Lu Yang\'s heart beat a lot faster. He guessed that it should be the contract and sample book sent by Taiwan publishing house.

"Do you have relatives in Taiwan?"

The Taiwan address on the envelope was very conspicuous. The letter was taken by the monitor. Naturally, he had noticed the address on the envelope long ago. The monitor asked Lu Yang curiously on his face.

Lu Yang smiled and followed the monitor\'s words: "yes! There is one."

Seeing that Lu Yang didn\'t say anything further, the monitor smiled knowingly, nodded, and left.
