Chapter 008: Final Hearing News
For a smoker, when he is in a bad mood, he will smoke, and when he is in a good mood, he will subconsciously take out a cigarette to smoke.
At this time, 6 Yang, who was in a happy mood, subconsciously took out his cigarette case and popped out a cigarette to light it.
In the smoke rising from the cigarette, 6 Yang habitually squinted his eyes, his squinted eyes still staring at the email on the screen.
Two publishers have already agreed to publish his new book.
Do you want to sign a contract with one of them?
With a cigarette in his mouth, 6 Yang was already thinking about this in his head.
As mentioned earlier, these two publishing houses are the two publishers with the fastest review degree in Taiwan that 6 Yang knows.
At the same time, they are also the two with the lowest acceptance standards.
And the reason why they have the lowest standard for receiving manuscripts is naturally only one reason -- they can't grab excellent manuscripts, and they can't compete with a few other stronger publishing houses.
In other words, the strength of these two publishing houses in Taiwan's publishing industry is relatively weak.
A book can only be signed to one family.
Do you want to sign one of the two?
6 Jan didn't think about it for long, and he made a decision in his heart.
Wait!
6 And Jan said this to himself.
Although E Publishing House was the owner of his first work published before his rebirth. But its strength is relatively weak after all, and it will close its doors after a few years, so it is not a good choice.
The strength of F Press is not far from E Press, so 6 Yang intends to wait.
As early as a day or two after the five submission letters were sent out on June, the five publishing houses all gave a brief reply. The content of the reply has nothing to do with the review results, but only tells sù6 Yang that they have received 6 Yang's contributions, and they will reply within how long the review is over.
A Publishing House is a very powerful publishing house in 6 Yang's memory, but they generally only publish works by very famous writers.
The strength of B and C is also very strong, and there are many works by god-level authors who have published.
The review period for them and the reply from Publishing House A to 6 Yang is 15 working days, excluding the two weekends of non-working days in between, 6 Yang has to wait almost 2o days.
Thinking that he would have to wait another week or so, 6 Yang was a little worried that if all three refused to publish it, E and F would change their minds because of the long waiting time, and they would no longer be willing to publish his work.
However, this concern did not make 6 Yang change his mind.
It is very likely that Publisher A will refuse, but 6 Yang feels that at least one of Publishers B and Publisher C should be able to take a fancy to his work.
After smoking a cigarette, 6 Yang turned off the computer, got up and left the Internet café.
6 Yang did not give an answer to the contract requirements of E Publishing House and F Publishing House, when he had not read the two emails.
For the next week, 6 Yang's heart was a little worried and irritable.
I'm afraid that things that have been able to be published will be variable.
Every day after the evening class, when 6 Yang was writing in the No. 3 teaching building, his mood was affected, and sometimes, he turned over the manuscript paper and held a pencil, but because of his mood disorder, he could not enter the state to write.
This situation, over time, becomes more and more severe.
Yan zhòng arrived, for a few moments, 6 Yang couldn't help but want to get up and go to the Xingyu Internet Cafe, reply to one of the two publishing houses, and agree to sign the contract.
Anyway, whichever publishing house the first work is signed at, the manuscript fee you can get is about the same.
However, the thoughts did not waver for long, and 6 Yang quickly calmed down his chaotic mind again, continued to stick to the first decision, and continued to wait.
A week passed in such a state of mind.
During the week, 6 Yang did not go to the Internet café once.
Even writing until 12 o'clock in the evening every night, obviously very hungry, 6 Yang endured not to go to the back door of the school to buy food like a few days ago.
I took the written manuscript directly back to the dormitory to make instant noodles.
Because 6 Yang was afraid that when he walked to the back door of the school and approached the Internet café, he would shake his decision again, and he would not be able to resist walking into the Internet café and agreeing to sign a contract with one of the publishing houses.
Once the contract is signed, it is almost impossible to change it.
After the last class on the afternoon of the seventh day, 6 Yang took his pen and paper as usual and went to the classroom where he stayed every day in the No. 3 school building, where he was used to sitting.
Spread out the snow-white manuscript paper, holding the freshly sharpened pencil, but he couldn't put down the pen for a long time.
What I thought in my heart was no longer the plot of a novel.
What I have in my head is the replies of the remaining 3 publishers.
They should all reply today, right?
You won't all three refuse to publish it, right?
As long as one agrees!
All I have in my head are similar thoughts.
After this situation lasted for more than half an hour, 6 Yang realized that his heart still could not enter the ethereal state of writing, and in a fit of anger, he slapped the pencil in his hand on the desk in front of him with a "snap".
A good pencil was shot into three pieces at once.
"Damn! I'm not going to write it! I'll see the results now!"
6Yang got up suddenly, grabbed the manuscript paper and teacup, and strode downstairs.
6 Jan had planned to write two chapters today, as he had done a few days ago, and then go to the Internet café to check the reply.
But he overestimated his concentration.
Thinking that the three publishing houses might have replied, his heart was always in a state of gain and loss, and he couldn't enter the state of writing at all.
Now that it is impossible for me to continue writing tonight, 6 raised my heart and decided not to write tonight!
If all three publishers refuse to publish it, and the two publishers change their minds, then no matter how much he writes this novel in the future, it will not make much sense.
And if it can be published smoothly, then it doesn't matter if you don't write it tonight.
It didn't take long for 6 Yang to come to the Star Rain Internet Cafe.
Skillfully swipe the card, turn on the phone, and log in to the 6 NetEase mailbox.
A few things, 6 Jan did it quickly.
6 Yang saw 7 new emails in the mailbox inbox.
7 ......
This number is completely out of the projection of 6 Yang.
Shouldn't it be 3 letters?
6 Jan didn't know why there were 4 more letters, which was completely out of his expectations.
For a while, I couldn't help but wonder: Did E Publishing House and F Publishing House change their minds and cancel their intention to sign because I didn't agree to sign the contract for so long?
As soon as this thought came out, 6 Yang's heart couldn't help but sink downward.
Taking a deep breath, 6 Yang secretly gritted his teeth, forced himself to calm down, took out the cigarette box in his arms, popped out a cigarette and lit it, took two deep breaths, stabilized his mind, and clicked on the inbox with the computer mouse.
After the inbox was opened, 4 of the 7 new emails displayed were from E and F, and 2 were from each house.
The other three, as he expected, were replies from three other publishers.
6 Yang hesitated slightly, which email to click first.
After only two seconds of hesitation, 6 Yang clicked on the reply of A Publishing House first.
I regret to inform you that your work "Doomsday Wasteland" has not met the standards of our publication, and I look forward to your better works, and you are welcome to submit them again. - Seraph"
As 6 Yang expected, Publishing House A, which has always adhered to the famous line, rejected his manuscript.
My heart was cold.
Although he had expected such a reply for a long time, when he really saw the rejected text, 6 Yang couldn't help but feel a wave of disappointment in his heart.
Taking a deep breath, 6 Yang clicked on the reply of B Press again.
"To Wen Choujun: The manuscript has been collectively reviewed by the editorial department of our agency, and it is a pity that it does not meet the standards of our publication, and I hope that there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future. - Starry sky reflection. ”
Seeing this reply, 6 Yang's heart was even more cold.
At this time, 6 Yang could not contain a wave of remorse in his heart.
Why do you regret that you are so confident, and you have to wait for the reply from these three publishing houses, wouldn't it be better to sign a contract with one of the first two publishing houses? Anyway, whoever you sign it to, the manuscript fee for the first book is about the same, regardless of whether the strength of the publishing house is strong or weak?
There is also a reply from C Press......
With the last hope, 6 Yang clicked on netbsp; If C Publishing House also refuses, even if it can be published in one of the first two publishing houses, 6 Yang's confidence will be greatly damaged.
Because, that result means that he was reborn 1o years ago, and his level of writing novels can only meet the minimum publishing standards of ordinary small publishing houses in Taiwan.
He's not as good as he thinks.
"Hello Wen Choujun! Your work "Doomsday Wasteland" has been strictly reviewed for a period of 15 working days, and has been approved by the editorial department of our agency.
