Rebirth 2003

　　 After the squad leader left, Lu Yang wanted to open the envelope immediately and look at the contract and the first sample book inside.

　　 But at this time there were two roommates in the dormitory. Lu Yang didn't want to spread the story of his own novel writing and affect his life, so he restrained his eagerness and went out with the thick registered letter.

　　 After Lu Yang left, the two roommates looked at each other, and the fat Shao Dahai said, "That kid Lu Yang is so low-key, I didn't expect to have a relative in Taiwan."

　　 The skinny Hu Gu nodded in agreement: "Well, seeing that the letter is so thick, maybe his Taiwanese relative sent him something."

　　 "I don't know what it is, Lu Yang didn't open it in the dormitory, and he took it out mysteriously. It's so **** boring!" Shao Dahai was also curious about what was sent in such a thick envelope.

　　 Because of this registered letter, since then, Shao Dahai and Hu Gu have become more curious about Lu Yang.

　　...

　　 Lu Yang habitually came to the No. 3 teaching building, the top-floor classroom he went to most often.

　　 At this moment, there are only three students in this classroom reading quietly. The three students are nearly ten meters apart. They obviously don't want to be disturbed. They are people who really want to read.

　　 The three people were in the classroom, but there was no sound at all. Even if they turned the book occasionally, no sound was heard.

Lu Yang likes this kind of atmosphere the most. When he enters, he steps lightly, walks to the corner of the classroom by the window, sits down at the last table, and smiles expectantly, tearing open the envelope. , Take out the contents of the envelope little by little.

　　 As expected by Lu Yang, what was sent in it was indeed a contract sent back by c publishing house, and four sample books for the first and second episodes of "The Doomsday Wasteland".

　　 In the contract sent back, the name of the editor-in-chief of c publishing house has been signed, and the official seal of c publishing house has been affixed.

　　 Lu Yang took a few casual glances, then put the contract aside, and then all his attention was shifted to the four sample books.

The sample book is very beautifully made. The cover paper is very thick. The cover uses comic techniques and gray tones to draw a picture of a broken city ruin, a post-apocalyptic scene, and a thin, tall, tall man on the empty ruined street. The young man walked in front with a long knife in his hand, followed by a slim and beautiful young girl.

　　 Doomsday Wasteland, four large purple characters are printed on the far right side of the cover. Below these four characters, there are also a few tiny characters-Wen Chou Zhu.

　　 It is worth mentioning that these characters are printed in traditional Chinese characters.

　　 This is my work, my **** work after rebirth...

　　 The fingers of his right hand gently rubbed the cover of the sample book, and Lu Yang muttered in his heart.

　　 The first work has a special place in the heart of every author, and it has special feelings that it is difficult for outsiders to understand.

Turn the pages of the book at will. Just like Lu Yang’s first published work in his previous life, the text in it is not only the traditional characters used in Taiwan, but the text is also arranged vertically from top to bottom. When reading, you should also read from right to left. Look at it column by column.

The paper inside 　　 is very thick and white, and very textured. It is more than one or two grades better than Lu Yang's textbooks over the years.

　　 Before his rebirth, Lu Yang gave a lot of sample books to others. In the end, he only had one book on his hand, with more than a dozen episodes of books, but he had only one book in his hand, and he couldn't make a complete set.

　　 Lu Yang has always regretted this, but unfortunately, the books have already been sent out, and regrets are no longer useful.

　　 But in this life, Lu Yang doesn't plan to do that anymore.

　　 This is also one of the reasons why Lu Yang did not want his roommate to know that he was writing a novel too soon.

　　 If those roommates know that they write novels and they are still published in Taiwan, and there are two sets of sample books, those roommates will definitely ask him to give them one, or even a few.

　　 To give this one, the other one, the two sets of sample books promised to him by the publishing house couldn't stand the gift at all. In the end, there are definitely not a few copies left in Lu Yang's hands.

　　 There are only two sets of sample books. Lu Yang wants to keep one set for himself, and Lu Yang plans to keep the remaining set and give it to the most important people in his heart in the future.

　　 As for ordinary friends, I'm sorry.

　　 After flipping through the four sample books in the classroom for almost half an hour, Lu Yang filled them back into the envelope together with the contract, and took them to the Xingyu Internet Cafe outside the back door of the school.

　　 The contract and the sample book have arrived, and Lu Yang felt that the editor of c publishing house should have emailed him to tell him about it.

　　 Turned on the computer and logged in to the mailbox, Lu Yang found that there was a new e-mail from c publishing house to edit Salmon.

　　 I clicked on the email and found out that C Publishing House had not only sent him the contract and sample book, but his first draft fee of RMB 4,500 had been transferred to the bank account Lu Yang wrote in the contract.

　　 A few days ago, Lu Yang had already posted the manuscript for the second episode. According to the rules, the manuscript fee for the first episode will not be issued, and the manuscript fee will be distributed from the second episode.

　　 Lu Yang successively posted two episodes of manuscripts in the past, just to get the first manuscript fee.

　　 4500, in 2013, it was nothing.

　　 At that time, the renminbi depreciated wildly. Carpenters and masons spent two to three hundred yuan a day, and six to seven thousand a month, or even tens of thousands.

　　 But in 2003, 4500, which was still a considerable amount for the lower-level people.

　　 In 2003, carpenters and masons earned only 40 to 50 yuan a day, and even 30 yuan a day. After a month of exhaustion, they may not be able to earn 1,000 yuan.

　　 At this time, Lu Yang's tuition for one academic year and two semesters was less than 4,000 yuan.

　　 The cost of living for a semester is only two thousand yuan, and the average monthly food and other expenses are only about four hundred.

　　 In this era, 4500, for Lu Yang, is really a lot.

　　 The most important thing is that 4500 is not his one-month manuscript fee, but only 65,000 words for an episode of manuscript.

With Lu Yang’s current writing speed, more than 6,000 words per night, more than 60,000 in ten days, plus two or three days to input the text on the manuscript paper into the computer and make it into an electronic document format, one set of manuscripts , It takes less than half a month.

　　 One month, Lu Yang can write at least two episodes.

　　 4500 in one episode and 9000 in two episodes.

　　 In 2003, this was definitely a huge income that ordinary people would never dream of.

　　 finally got the first manuscript fee.

　　 With these 4,500 yuan, Lu Yang can buy a laptop as he wants. Without handwriting, Lu Yang's writing speed can be increased by at least one third.

　　 also saves the time of typing into the computer while reading the manuscript.

　　The so-called: If you want to be good at your work, UU must first sharpen its tools.

　　 In order to speed up the writing speed, the computer, Lu Yang knew that he couldn't save it. It’s not time for the first manuscript fee to be deposited.

　　 Right now, Lu Yang went back to the dormitory, locked the registered letter in his desk drawer, and then took the bank card and went to withdraw money to buy a computer.

　　 It’s just a pity.

　　 Lu Yang forgot that all brands of laptops were very expensive in 2003, and the prices generally ranged from five to six thousand.

　　 Lu Yang wanted to buy a better one for his first contribution, but he didn't have much choice.

　　 Moreover, not to mention the expensive price, and the notebook configuration is also speechless.

　　 Finally, Lu Yang gave up his current idea of ​​buying a computer, and honestly deposited the money back in the bank. He decided to write by hand as before, and then go to the Internet cafe to enter the manuscript into the computer.

　　 On the way back, Lu Yang also figured it out.

　　 At present, everyone in the dormitory does not have a computer. If you buy a new computer and go back, you will definitely rush to play it, and it may be scrapped soon.

　　 The environment in the dormitory is noisy most of the time and is not suitable for codewords. If you take a notebook to write in the classroom, the crackling typing sound will also affect other people's reading.

　　 is also a big influence on the fact that I want to keep my novels secret.

　　 I still wait for a while, and when I have enough money, I go out to rent a quieter house and buy a computer.
