For six days, Wang Fan stayed at home and wrote six chapters of the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the name of the sixth chapter is "Washing Your Hands"

After writing these six chapters, I put them in the USB flash drive, walked to the copy shop to copy the novel, and as soon as the copy was made, Wang Fan came to the largest publishing house in the city, Qiangwu Publishing House.

When I walked into Qiangwu Publishing House, I asked the front desk customer service: "Does Qiangwu Publishing House accept submissions?" ”

"Collect!" The female customer service at the front desk said with a professional smile.

"I have a martial arts manuscript here, please help me hand it over to the editor." Wang Fan said, and handed over the manuscript that had been copied a long time ago to the customer service.

The customer service took the original of the novel and said: "Leave a phone call, if your novel has been reviewed by the editor, and the review is cleared, you will be notified by phone!" ”

"If you can let the editor review it now, I'll wait here." Wang Fan said to the customer service.

"It might keep you waiting for a long time!"

"It's okay."

Hearing Wang Fan's words, the customer service took the original manuscript of the novel and went to the editor of Qiangwu Publishing House, and Wang Feng went.

Wang Feng, the editor-in-charge of Qiangwu Publishing House, is now reading the novels submitted to the publishing house, and Wang Fengzhi, who has read the novels without any interest, frowned: "The writing level of these novels is really getting worse and worse." ”

"Someone else is posting!" The front desk customer service walked up to Wang Feng, the editor in charge, and Wang Fan's manuscript was put on the table and said: "Now the author who submitted this manuscript is waiting in the hall of our publishing house, and he said that he will wait for Editor Wang to finish reviewing his manuscript before leaving." ”

Hearing the words of the front desk customer service, Wang Feng smiled, and then waved his hand to signal the front desk customer service to go out. After the customer service went out, Wang Feng continued to look at the manuscript in his hand, and the "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that was placed on the desk by the customer service was temporarily ignored.

Three hours later, Wang Feng read the draft of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", and only after reading the first three chapters Wang Feng's brows furrowed fiercely.

What garbage, this author is too mentally retarded, portraying the protagonist Lin Pingzhi as a frustration. Forcing the protagonist, the supporting role of this novel "Brother Linghu" is much better than the protagonist Lin Pingzhi, and this kind of novel still wants to be published, it's a dream.

Wang Feng, who thinks so, regards "Smiling Proud Jianghu" as a waste manuscript.

Four hours have passed, and after waiting for so long, Wang Fan finally opened his mouth to ask the front desk customer service to help him ask if his novel manuscript "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has passed now.

A few minutes later, the front desk customer service returned to the front desk with Wang Fan's manuscript: "Your manuscript has been listed as a scrapped manuscript by the editor." ”

Hearing the words of the customer service of Qiangwu Publishing House, Wang Fan's face became ugly, Wang Fan didn't expect that the classic "Smiling Proud Jianghu" in his previous life would not even be able to pass the manuscript in this life.

Wang Fan, who had an ugly face, left the Qiangwu Publishing House, and after leaving the Qiangwu Publishing House, Wang Fan quickly adjusted his feelings, went to another publishing house, and submitted the manuscript to that publishing house.

Because it was late, Wang Fan went home and slept after submitting the manuscript, and in the morning Wang Fan went to the publishing house and got a notice that there was still no manuscript.

Once, twice, three times...... Wang Fan has personally submitted articles to large publishing houses in the city, but every time the result is a failure.

On the tenth day, Wang Fan went to the second-rate publishing houses in the city and voted to them, and their new book buyout review was indeed passed, but the conditions offered by those second-rate publishing houses were that they bought out the full copyright of 50 thousand words before tax.

For the publishing house that offered this kind of price, Wang Fan refused without hesitation.

……

On the thirteenth day, Wang Fan had only twenty yuan left in the money, and he was almost exhausted, and if he couldn't find a publishing house that was willing to buy out the text serialization copyright of the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu" at a relatively fair price in the last two days, Wang Fan would probably starve to death.

On the thirteenth day, Wang Fan came to a third-rate publishing house, "Xia Ke Publishing House". ”

The territory of the third-rate publishing house is not large, and there is no customer service at the front desk, but the editor surnamed Lu of the Xia Ke Publishing House welcomed Wang Fan to Xia Ke Publishing House for submission.

"My name is Lu Xiaobu, you can call me Editor Lu, or you can call me Xiaobu!" Lu Xiaobu smiled and stretched out his hand to Wang Fan.

"My name is Wang Fan." Wang Fan also stretched out his hand and shook hands with Lu Xiaobu.

"Well, I know, let me review your manuscript, if the content is good, our Xia Ke Publishing House will publish your novel." Lu Xiaobu said, his eyes scanning the manuscript of the novel that Wang Fan was holding in his left hand.

Wang Fan handed the manuscript to Lu Xiaobu, and after Lu Xiaobu got the manuscript, he immediately looked at it attentively.

After reading the first two chapters and the 30,000-word portrayal of Lin Pingzhi, Lu Xiaobu frowned, and then looked at the third chapter, when there were all kinds of praise for Brother Linghu, Lu Xiaobu's brows wrinkled even deeper.

After reading three chapters, Lu Xiaobu raised his head and looked at Wang Fandao: "Your writing is very good, but the protagonist in this novel, "Lin Pingzhi" is too stupid, and he doesn't look like a protagonist at all. ”

Hearing this, Wang Fan said a little speechlessly: "Lin Pingzhi is not the protagonist, Linghu Chong, that is, Brother Linghu in the mouth of "Yilin" in the novel is the protagonist, you can just read it next." ”

Hearing Wang Fan's words, Lu Xiaobu was stunned for a moment, and continued to read it, this time it was two hours, two hours passed, and the six chapters of 100,000 words "Smiling Proud Jianghu" were browsed by Lu Xiaobu.

"It's so exciting, I've never read such a wonderful martial arts novel." Lu Xiaobu looked at Wang Fan and said excitedly: "From this novel you wrote, I see the difference from other martial arts novels. ”

In the past, the protagonists in martial arts novels all looked like I represented justice, but in the six chapters of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", the description of the male protagonist Ling Hu Chong is not like this. He is chivalrous, uninhibited, hearty and broad. The protagonist of this kind of character can be said to be an innovation.

"You've written it very well, and after reading the first six chapters of this novel, I feel like the curtain has just opened." Lu Xiaobu took a deep breath and said to Wang Fan: "Our publishing house can give you a price of one hundred and fifty words to buy out all the copyrights of the novel "Smiling Proud Jianghu". ”

"Do I only sell serialization rights?"

"It's okay, but it's 15 words per 1,000 words, and it will be reduced to 100 words and 100 buyouts, are you sure you only buy out the serial rights, not all the copyrights?"

"I'm sure!"

"Since you agreed, let's go print the contract now!" As he spoke, Lu Xiaobu went straight to the printer of the publishing house and used computer office software to temporarily print a contract.

Printed out the two-point contract, and after reading that there were no pitfalls, Wang Fan pressed his fingerprint on the contract.

After pressing the handprint, Wang Fan handed over the original novel to Lu Xiaobu, and Lu Xiaobu found that the six chapters contained 100,000 words.

"The manuscript fee for 100,000 words is 10,000, and the manuscript fee of 10,000 will probably be able to be sent to you tomorrow, but you must give me the next manuscript within a month!" Lu Xiaobu smiled at Wang Fan.

A month? Wang Fan smiled at Lu Xiaobu: "It's no problem at all." ”

"In the next week, our publishing house will be promoting your novel! Anyway, you're a rookie writer, are you sure of your pen name? ”

"Pseudonym? Let's call it "Tianfan". ”

"Yes!" Regarding the pen name Tianfan, Lu Xiaobu thinks it's okay.
