Chapter 4: Final Exam, Press
Holidays are always short, early on Monday morning, under the ardent hope of his mother, Li Zhenxuan put on his schoolbag and rushed to school again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the countdown to the college entrance examination passed to 140 days, the senior high school students ushered in their first semester final exams, and even Fan Xiaobo, who was the most unrighteous on weekdays, was nervous during this time.
After all, no one wants to go home at the end of the semester with a red-hot report card and go through a fierce competition in men's singles, women's singles, or mixed doubles.
Especially Fan Xiaobo.
His father is a contractor, all the way up from a small worker, a big slap of a fan, a wave of arms, no strength of a thousand catties, and a strength of hundreds of catties is always there.
If Fan Xiaobo finally gets a red report card back,
During this time, Li Zhenxuan went to the Internet café on time at noon every day to upload the new chapter of Zhu Xian, and the rest of the time in school ******** devoted himself to review.
The results are remarkable.
At least my eyes are blackened, and there is no idea at all for the problem, only an extended problem in mathematics.
A day later, the report card came out.
It was slightly better than Li Zhenxuan's expectations, with 105 points in the math test, two wrong fill-in-the-blank questions, one wrong multiple-choice question, and two questions in the answer questions that did not get a score.
After all, the most important thing in mathematics is to memorize formulas and operations, and the test is logical thinking and calculation ability.
With the blessing of the power of the candle dragon, Li Zhenxuan's thoughts were almost not stuck, and it took him two days to memorize all the mathematical formulas of the entire high school, and his impression was extremely clear. This took his math score from an average of over 70 points to two notches.
English has always been Li Zhenxuan's strength, and years of influence from American dramas and European and American AV have made his English score increase instead of decreasing, and finally scored 110 points
Wen Zong's score was the best, and the 300-point Wen Zong paper finally scored 257 points, and there is no difficulty for Li Zhenxuan to memorize things by rote.
Chinese is a big loss of points, because his composition is a little off topic, the fifty-point essay only scored 23 points in the end, but he still scored 107 points in the language, although the final essay lost serious points, but his previous multiple-choice questions and reading comprehension have improved a lot compared with the past.
The final total score was 579 points, which was almost a notch higher than his college entrance examination score.
This achievement can be said to be in the position of the second book, and it can even sit on the second and look at one.
When the report card came out, Li Zhenxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, after taking this report card home, my mother should be very happy.
"I'm really the most unpromising traverser in the world, obviously holding such a powerful golden thigh, and I still have to worry about the test results." Shaking his head, he put his report card back in his bag.
With this final exam foundation, he has more confidence in the college entrance examination, and even more ideas.
If he can get a high enough score, he can even take the first place in the province......
After the college entrance examination every year, the top student in the college entrance examination will always become the focus of attention for a period of time, and become the topic of conversation and discussion for countless people after dinner. If you can become the top student in the college entrance examination, the influence you will bring in a short period of time will not be lower than that of becoming a star.
It doesn't last long, but if it's a start, it's definitely enough.
While thinking about it, Li Zhenxuan also noticed the fat man Fan Xiaobo beside him.
"Yo fatty, why was it cooked?"
"Pear, I'm finished, today next year, you must burn me some paper money!"
Fan Xiaobo held his head in both hands, and his fat double chin pressed against the big red report card.
As soon as Li Zhenxuan stretched out his hand, he pulled the report card out from under Fan Xiaobo's chin and looked at the scores on it, and then thought of Fan Xiaobo's meaty father he had seen before, and it was estimated that Fan Xiaobo would have a bad year.
patted Fan Xiaobo's head with sympathetic eyes: "Brother, take care." ”
Fan Xiaobo snorted twice, and collapsed on the table as if his vertebrae had been removed.
Although Fan Xiaobo will inevitably go home this time to eat a few fried shredded pork on bamboo boards, this is not something that Li Zhenxuan can manage.
He couldn't do anything else except send a word to take care.
What's more, he now has more important things to do.
Zhu Xian has been serialized for more than ten days, and it didn't cause a sensation at the beginning, after all, there are still very few updates.
Although Li Zhenxuan has a lot of manuscripts, if needed, even if he changes 30,000 a day, he may not be able to do it, but he is not anxious, but uploads one chapter a day, and never sends more. But even so, the brilliant writing, wonderful stories, vivid characters and grand world settings have firmly attracted a regular readership.
Posts discussing the content of "Zhu Xian" also appeared on many forums, and in this case, the long-awaited reply from the publisher finally came.
To Li Zhenxuan's surprise, these treasure island publishing houses seemed to have made an appointment, either not appearing or appearing together. Previously, Li Zhenxuan waited for more than ten days without any news, and he was still a little apprehensive in his heart. I didn't expect this news, and five publishing houses came at once.
Forest white, flying elephants, horses, fruit trees............
Li Zhenxuan first clicked on Lin Bai Publishing House.
These days, Li Zhenxuan has also learned a little about the current situation of publishing on the treasure island. Lin Bai is one of the strongest publishing houses in Baodao now, and looking for a publishing house is to find a partner, if possible, under the same conditions, it is natural to find the strongest partner. Of course, the strength of the partner may also cause some negative effects, but Li Zhenxuan does not need to think about these things for the time being.
As soon as MSN sent a message, the editor named 'Orange' on the other side immediately replied: "You are Li Zhenxuan, the author of "Zhu Xian"? ”
"yes."
"Are you really eighteen?"
"There is a household registration book, do you want to see it?"
"Wait, our editor-in-chief will talk to you."
After waiting for a while, he changed to a male name called 'Red Armor' on the other side and added him as a friend, and verified his copyright and age.
The 'red armor' on the other side was actually very surprised when they received the submission, although it was said that with the economic development of the two sides of the strait, the political environment has been lifted, and cultural exchanges have gradually increased. However, this is still the first time that their publishing house has received submissions from mainland authors.
Out of the idea of not wasting the enthusiasm of the authors on the other side, and out of their own professionalism, although the manuscript was written in simplified Chinese, and it was troublesome to convert it to traditional Chinese, the 'red armor' who got this manuscript still carefully reviewed it.
This review, only three chapters, 'Red Armor' couldn't help but gasp.
In just three chapters, the editor-in-chief of the perennial review of the 'Red Armor' has been able to see a lot of things, the author's pen and pen are all the best choices, the plot structure is even more imaginative, and the Xianxia description has the potential to catch up with the lord of the pearl building, especially for the description of the battle scenes, which is unstoppable. The plot is also quite rigorous, and it also leaves a lot of suspense and highlights. Just looking at the manuscript sent here, 'Red Armor' can conclude that if the subsequent manuscripts can maintain the same level, it will be difficult for this "Zhu Xian" to become popular.
Therefore, when 'Red Armor' learned that the author of "Zhu Xian" was actually an eighteen-year-old senior high school student in the mainland, he had a feeling that the back waves of the Yangtze River were pushing the front waves.
Writing such a novel at the age of eighteen is simply ......
After confirming Li Zhenxuan's information, 'Red Armor' decisively proposed to sign a contract.
However, in terms of treatment, the pressure of 'red armor' is relatively low, only 80 yuan per thousand words, which is also a rule, and the treatment of newcomers for the first time is often very low.
For Li Zhenxuan, the biggest use of Zhuxian for him now is no longer to make money, but to earn fame. However, Li Zhenxuan could not give up the benefits he won for no reason, so in terms of treatment, the two sides fell into a long quarrel.
At the same time, Li Zhenxuan also began to connect with publishing houses such as Hema and White Elephant.
Like Lin Bai, they also attach great importance to Zhu Xian, but they don't give a very high salary, and they are even more strictly guarded.
As a publisher, no one will give newcomers this opening.
In the end, in desperation, Li Zhenxuan selectively revealed his multiple submissions.
This news immediately made a number of publishing houses not calm, and in some places the mouth was not so stuck. ”
"In this way, the first two volumes, the first two volumes will be as you say, a hundred words and a hundred manuscript fees. As for the later ones, look at the sales of the first two volumes and then decide, okay? ”
One volume of the traditional Taiwanese book is about 60,000 words, and five volumes can almost end most of the content of the first volume of Zhuxian.
'Red Armor' thought about it carefully, and finally reluctantly agreed.
There was no way, he really didn't want the novel to slip out of his hands.
printed out the electronic contract, and Chi Kai offered to ask Li Zhenxuan to provide a few life photos for promotion, using his age to boost. Even if Chi Kai doesn't say this, Li Zhenxuan himself has to bring it up. After all, now his first purpose in writing Zhuxian is to become famous and gain the admiration of more fans. An eighteen-year-old genius young writer is just a good way to attract fans. Although he is not handsome, he has a way to cheat. In the future era of eyeball economy, it is also a privilege to be handsome.
Don't you see Guo Xiaosi's small era series, which has been ridiculed by countless people as a wedding studio movie, but he has relied on the support of fans to attract countless money and make a lot of money?
