Chapter 10

After the monitor left, Lu Yang wanted to open the envelope immediately, read the contract inside, and after Lu Yang looked at it casually, he put the contract aside, and then the whole person's attention turned to the four sample books.

The sample book is beautifully made. The cover paper is very thick. On the cover, a manga technique and gray color are used to draw a broken map of urban ruins, a scene of the end of the day. On the empty ruins street, a thin and tall boy walks in front with a long knife and a beautiful girl behind him.

In the doomsday wasteland, four big purple characters are printed on the far right of the cover. Under these four characters, there are also several small characters with fly heads - Wen Chou's works.

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

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

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

The first work has a special status and special feelings in the hearts of every author, which is difficult for outsiders to understand.

Just like Lu Yang's first published work, the characters inside are not only traditional characters used in Taiwan, but also arranged vertically from top to bottom. When reading, you should also look from right to left.

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

Before rebirth, Lu Yang sent many sample books to people. Finally, he had only one book with more than ten episodes on hand. He had only one book in hand, but he couldn't make a complete set.

Lu Yang has always regretted this. Unfortunately, the books have been sent out, and regret is useless.

But Lu Yang doesn't intend to do that again.

This is one of the reasons why Lu Yang doesn't want his roommate to know that he writes novels too early.

If those roommates knew that they wrote novels and published them in Taiwan, and there were two sets of sample books, they would certainly ask him to send one or even several to them.

Send this one and that one. The two sets of sample books promised to him by the publishing house can't stand sending. Finally, there must be few left in Lu Yang's hand.

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

As for those ordinary friends, I'm sorry.

After turning over the four sample books in the classroom for almost half an hour, Lu Yangcai stuffed them back into the envelope together with the contract, and then took them to the Xingyu Internet cafe outside the back door of the school.

The contract and sample books have arrived. Lu Yang thinks the editor of C publishing house should send him an email to tell him about it.

After turning on the computer and logging into the mailbox, Lu Yang found that there was indeed a new email from salmon, the editor of C publishing house.

When I opened the email, I knew that C publishing house had not only sent him the contract and sample books, but his first contribution fee of 4500 yuan had been remitted to Lu Yang's bank account written in the contract.

A few days ago, Lu Yang sent the manuscript of the second episode. According to the rules, the manuscript fee of the first episode will not be distributed, and the manuscript fee will be distributed from the manuscript of the second episode.

Lu Yang has sent two episodes of manuscripts in the past, just taking the first payment.

4500, in 2013, was nothing.

At that time, the RMB depreciated sharply, and carpenters and masons had to pay two or three hundred yuan a day, or six or seven thousand or even tens of thousands a month.

But in 2003, 4500 was still a considerable number for those at the bottom.

In 2003, carpenters and masons earned only forty or fifty yuan a day, or even thirty yuan a day. They worked hard for a month and may not be able to earn a thousand yuan.

At this time, Lu Yang's tuition for one academic year and two semesters was less than 4000 yuan.

The cost of living for a semester is only 2000 yuan. The average monthly food cost plus other expenses is only about 400 yuan.

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

The most important thing is that 4500 is not his monthly contribution fee, but only the contribution fee of 65000 words for an episode.

At Lu Yang's current writing speed, more than 6000 words a night, or more than 60000 in ten days. Plus two or three days, input the text on the manuscript paper into the computer and make it into an electronic document format. It takes less than half a month for an episode of the manuscript.

Lu Yang can write at least two episodes a month.

One episode 4500, two episodes 9000

In 2003, it was definitely a huge income that ordinary people dare not dream of.

Finally got the first payment.

With this 4500 yuan, Lu Yang can buy a laptop according to his heart without handwriting. Lu Yang's speed of writing can be improved by at least one third.

It also saves the time to input into the computer while reading the manuscript.

The so-called: if a worker wants to do well, he must sharpen his tools first.

In order to speed up the speed of writing, Lu Yang knows that the computer can't be saved. This is not the time to save the first payment.

At that moment, Lu Yang went back to the dormitory, locked the registered letter into his desk drawer, then took his bank card and went to pick up money to buy a computer.

It's just a pity.

Lu Yang forgot that in 2003, the prices of all brands of notebook computers were very expensive, generally 5000 or 6000.

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

Moreover, the high price does not say, the notebook configuration is also speechless.

Finally, Lu Yang gave up his current idea of buying a computer and honestly saved the money back to the bank. He decided to write first as before, and then go to the Internet cafe to input the manuscript into the computer.

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

At present, everyone in the dormitory doesn't have a computer. If you buy a new computer, you will definitely rush to play, and it may be scrapped soon.

The environment in the dormitory is very noisy most of the time, which is not suitable for codewords at all. If you take your notebook to write in the classroom, the crackling typing sound will also affect others' reading.

It also has a great impact on his desire to keep his novels secret.

Or wait a while. When the money is enough, go out and rent a quiet house and buy a computer.
