287. 287. The Road to Endless Heavens
Facts have proved that people can never leave anything to chance, and if it is useful to hold on to it temporarily, then the effort will be meaningless.
The next morning, Yun Miaoke stood in front of the lottery station, silent.
Of course I didn't hit it, I didn't hit a single number.
The hunger in her stomach made her sanity more and more sober, there is no shortcut in the world, let's be down-to-earth and face reality!
Fortunately, there is no end to it, and just when she was cornered, the editor's phone call gave her a glimmer of hope, saying that her new book was favored by a publishing house last month, and it was very likely that she would sign a contract for publication.
Yes, she writes books, on the web. She doesn't dare to be a writer, at most she can only be called an Internet writer.
Influenced by her growing up, she liked to write since she was a child, because there was no one to talk to, she could only use pen and paper to vent, and at the age of 14, she began to contribute to the magazine, and published many articles one after another.
Later, the Internet developed, and online literature rose, so she began to write novels on the Internet, at first she didn't have much hope, and she never thought of making money from this, but the environment is good, her first book, earned tens of thousands, and the first tuition fee in college came from this, plus student loans, she could have supported until graduation, but who knew that this kind of thing would happen suddenly.
However, since she was a child, she has become accustomed to facing all alone, no matter what kind of difficulties and hardships, she is fearless and courageous. For it was said, If thou wilt not be strong, to whom shall thou be weak?
The fate of the orphan determines her attitude in the face of difficulties, she can only be strong, only strong.
"Coco, you sort out the outline again, and then send me a 200,000-word manuscript!"
"Two hundred thousand?" Yun Miaoke looked surprised, "Didn't it be thirty or fifty thousand words before, and at most one hundred thousand?" ”
"Yes, but this time is more special, because this book is not only about publishing, but also about film and television copyrights, there is a film and television company is very interested in your book, is in contact with the company, I talked to their person in charge, the other party is still very sincere in cooperation, but now your word count is too small, they hope you can provide more content, the subject matter is basically no problem, if there is no big problem in terms of character setting and plot, I think the success rate is very high! So hurry up and send me the manuscript! ”
"Okay, I got it! I'll do my best to get it ready and send it to your mailbox! Although she only has 50,000 words at present, which is far from 200,000, she still agreed, because such an opportunity is too rare and must be grasped well!
In recent years, online literature has developed rapidly, and many works have been successfully published in film and television, such as the familiar "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "Why Sheng Xiaomo", etc., which have been well received by readers and audiences.
As an online writer, everyone hopes that their works can be published or even film and television, and she is the same, she hopes to take this opportunity to prove the value of her works, but there has been no opportunity before, and she has never dared to hope for it, because in this industry, there are too many talented people, and she feels that she can't reach the height of others, so she has always maintained a modest and low-key attitude, and An An writes her own small words in parts, on the one hand, it is a hobby, and on the other hand, she can also earn some tuition and living expenses. That's all.
But she didn't expect that the opportunity would come suddenly, and she was flattered, but at the same time, she also felt that she was very lucky, it was at this juncture, when she needed money the most!
So no matter what, she has to fight for it, even if she doesn't eat or drink for three days and three nights, she must get the manuscript out!
Maybe not every effort will be successful, but every success must be an effort!
"Meimei, I'm going to take three days off, and I'll borrow your class notes when I go back!" This is the first time in her life that she has skipped class, and these days are still very important professional classes, but there is no way, she is now short of time and money!
"Coco, are you going to work again? Why is it strict this time, and you can't even go to class? Pan Mei asked confusedly.
"It's not a part-time job, it's a manuscript!" Yun Miaoke told her best classmate and colleague about everything.
"Really? That's great! Congratulations, Coco! Pan Mei also writes novels, and knows how rare such an opportunity is.
"Thank you!" Yun Miaoke smiled slightly, and said again, "Then the class will ask you first, I will 'retreat' for a few days, and I will contact you when I finish writing!" ”
"Eun, come on!"
"I will, and so will you!" Yun Miaoke not only cheered for herself, but also encouraged her friends, although Pan Mei was brought into this industry by her, and she debuted a little later than her, but her writing skills were not worse than her at all, so she felt that Pan Mei would encounter such a good opportunity sooner or later, and she would succeed.
After settling down on the school side, Yun Miaoke no longer had any worries, returned to her residence alone, and began to "retreat" and write.
The place where she lives is very close to the school, it is the teacher's family building, the house is the teacher Li who took her professional class before, last semester Teacher Li went abroad for further study, so he gave her the key and asked her to move in to help take care of the house.
Of course, she has to help with Mr. Li's help, and she likes this house very much, because there are many books here, and the bookshelves occupy an entire wall area, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, everything.
Ms. Li said that she can read the books on the shelves casually, and she has indeed benefited a lot, and those books have also helped her a lot in writing.
Three days, seventy-two hours, 150,000 words, for a writer like her, who only has a speed of more than 1,000 words, it is really a very difficult task, but she can only spell it!
From day, to night, to day...... In a flash, three days passed.
Yun Miaoke's appearance after "getting out of the customs" is already a little miserable.
The already thin figure looks thinner and thinner, as if it is malnourished and will fall when the wind blows.
The long straight hair sets off the small face the size of a palm, the face is pale, and the dark circles under the eyes are more obvious.
But she was in good spirits, but only on the surface, as if the last light of the oil lamp was before it dried up.
"Yun Miaoke, believe in yourself, you can do it!" The document was organized and sent to the editor.
Soon, there was a reply, but the situation changed.
"Coco, the other party doesn't read the electronic version, and asks you to bring the printed manuscript and go to the film and television company to talk in person."
"Now?" Yun Miao was a little caught off guard.
"That's right! Before nine o'clock, you must be there, and I will give you the address! ”
Yun Miaoke glanced at herself in the glasses, and then at the time, oh my God, it was too late for anything, she didn't even have time to wash!
Forget it, so be it!
A few minutes later, an unkempt girl on the road was particularly eye-catching.
She almost ran at a frantic speed, shuttling through large and small traffic, because of the morning rush hour, the lane was almost reduced to a parking lot, and she could only jump off the bus and run.
"Mr. Zhong, there is a traffic jam ahead, should we take a detour?" The driver asked respectfully.
"Hmm." The man sitting in the leather seat at the back hummed softly, and his voice was so low that it made people shudder.
Then, the car accident happened in an instant.
With a "bang", Yun Miaoke's body staggered, and the manuscript in her hand flew all over the sky.
