Chapter 009 Successfully Published
The five publishing houses that Lu Yang submitted, two of them refused, and three of them finally approved the review and were willing to publish.
On the surface, it seems that it is.
But in fact, this is not the case.
Because a Publishing House has always only published works of famous artists, and has always followed the route of famous artists. It is not well-known to the public and does not consider publishing at all.
Therefore, it is actually possible that there are only four publishers that publish Lu Yang’s novels.
There were only one of the four publishing houses who refused.
If you understand this way, Lu Yang's book "The Wasteland of Doomsday" is still very popular among publishers.
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 companies. The strength of C Publishing House is completely greater than that of E Publishing House and F Publishing House, and its distribution capabilities are far more than those two companies. The ability of "Doom Wasteland" can be published and distributed in C Publishing House, which will definitely allow more Taiwanese readers to see it, and will be of great help to increase Lu Yang's popularity in Taiwan. If he can cooperate with C Publishing House for a long time in the future, Lu Yang's development prospects will definitely be much better.
With the C Publishing House agreeing to publish, it no longer matters whether e Publishing House and F Publishing House have changed their publishing ideas.
However, Lu Yang was still a little curious, curious whether e-Publishing House and f Publishing House had changed their minds.
So, Lu Yang then clicked on four reply letters published by the two companies.
After reading all four reply letters, Lu Yang smiled.
All of the four letters were urging him to contact them as soon as possible to sign the contract, and none of them changed their minds because he had not replied a week later.
This made Lu Yang feel a little funny. He laughed at himself for being too timid this week and had nothing to do, but he was worried about gains and losses for so many days.
This time Lu Yang did not waste any more time. In fact, he also hoped that his work could be signed and published as soon as possible, and received the royalties one day earlier to change his current pitiful financial situation.
I immediately wrote back to C Publishing House and asked about the contractual benefits.
It happened that the other party was online. After a few minutes after Lu Yang replied to the email, the other party replied, which also included electronic documents for the contract signing.
Lu Yang spent more than ten minutes reading the reply letter and the contract.
I found that the contract treatment was exactly the same as I remembered.
Each episode of manuscript is 65,000 words, and the manuscript is 4,500 yuan, and at least one episode of manuscript is delivered per month.
Lu Yang knew that at this time, most publishing houses in Taiwan, regardless of their size, were treated similarly by new authors, and there was almost no room for bargaining.
However, Lu Yang still tried to ask if the royalties could be improved a little.
As a result, the other party answered with certainty that this was decided by the editorial department and he had no right to increase the royalties, but after the completion of this work, depending on the sales of the work, the royalties can be increased when the next work is signed.
Lu Yang asked this question with a try-and-see attitude. Since the other party refused, he stopped talking nonsense and immediately agreed to sign the contract.
Lu Yang knew that he was still unfamous and that his first work was not qualified to bargain with the publisher.
I just want to successfully publish this first work, accumulate a certain popularity, and then discuss treatment in the future.
In order to avoid the long nights and dreams, Lu Yang printed out the electronic document of the contract sent to him by C Publishing House at the typing and copying agency outside the school that night, signed his pen name and real name. Shortly after getting up early the next morning, he went to the post office to send the contract.
According to the editor of C Publishing House, "Salmon", the publishing society deducts the manuscript fee for the first episode, and the manuscript fee will be distributed from the second episode.
It also said that after receiving the contract, they will arrange the publishing house affairs of "Dord of the World" as soon as possible, and will send two sample books to Lu Yang before each episode is launched.
Lu Yang is looking forward to these things.
Whether it is the royalties or the two sample books sent to him.
After the contract was sent out, Lu Yang was fine. The rest was waiting for news from the publishing house.
During this period, all Lu Yang needed to do was to write the follow-up manuscript with peace of mind.
Say a thousand words and tell ten thousand words. As a background-free online writer, everything can only be spoken by your own works.
If your work is not good, there will be nothing!
Money, fame and fortune are all undesirable.
Even if you want to earn a pack of cigarettes, you will be a luxury.
Lu Yang knows this truth well.
So, after this, Lu Yang's life rhythm returned to its original appearance. He attended classes during the day and went to the No. 3 teaching building at night, and went to the classroom with the least number of people to write articles.
When I was in a bad state and had no inspiration, I took the manuscript I had written and went 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 email.
Not long after, Lu Yang sent the second episode manuscript.
In life, the only thing that has changed is probably during the day.
People who have been to college, and even many people who have not attended college know that college life is very free.
The most direct manifestation of this freedom lies in the personal time control.
Compared with junior high school and high school, the university's courses are only one-tenth of that in junior high school or high school.
Not only do I often have no classes throughout the morning or afternoon, but I have a complete break on Saturdays and Sundays. The most incredible thing is that I can skip classes.
Many teachers don’t know how to name the 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 course teachers do not care about students coming to class, and even if you don’t attend one class a semester, the teacher doesn’t care about you.
Such freedom gives Lu Yang time to practice boxing during the day.
Since joining the Martial Arts Club last time and becoming the first member of the Martial Arts Club except the president, Lu Yang has already included boxing practice in his university planning.
Lu Yang hopes that through several years of practice in college, he can have a strong body in this life and never be as sub-healthy as before he was reborn, without the power to tie a chicken.
Because he wants to practice, during the day during this period, Lu Yang will change into his newly bought sportswear, bring the same newly bought boxing gloves, and go to the martial arts club classroom to practice boxing.
Sometimes when he went there, the president Teng Hu was there too. When he saw Lu Yang taking the initiative to practice boxing, Teng Hu would smile a little and give Lu Yang a few tips.
Sometimes when I went there, 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 also go inside and practice alone.
Practicing boxing is a physical job and requires attention.
Of course, it is very hard and tiring. As long as you practice for a while, you will sweat profusely.
This was already under Lu Yang's expectations. Although he was hard and tired, Lu Yang did not retreat.
Although Lu Yang had never practiced boxing before his rebirth, he was stoic by nature, otherwise he would not have written a novel that had been alone for ten years.
Lu Yang didn't care about the hard work of practicing boxing.
Especially as he practiced longer and obviously felt that his physical fitness was getting better and better.
When Lu Yang does things, he never cares about how much he pays.
As long as he pays something and gains something, he will feel it is worth it.
As long as he feels it is worth it, he can keep going.
This is true for writing novels and practicing boxing.
That day, Lu Yang had no classes in the afternoon. After lunch, he returned to the dormitory and had just changed into sportswear and sneakers, put on his boxing gloves, and was about to practice boxing, the squad leader walked into Lu Yang and his dormitory with a thick registration letter.
"Lu Yang! Your letter."
The squad leader smiled and handed the thick registration letter to Lu Yang. Lu Yang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly said thank you.
Seeing that the registration letter was written with the Taiwan address, Lu Yang's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot. He had already guessed in his heart that it should be a contract and sample book sent by the Taiwan Press.
"Do you have relatives in Taiwan?"
The Taiwan address on the envelope was very conspicuous. The letter was taken by the squad leader, so he naturally noticed the address on the envelope. The squad leader asked Lu Yang curiously.
Lu Yang smiled and said as the squad leader said: "Yes! There is one."
Chapter completed!
