Rebirth 2003

　　13500 is just the money Lu Yang made in the past two months. The manuscript fee for the first episode is still held by the publisher. Lu Yang's bank card still has more than 1,000 living expenses for this semester.

　　Together, there are now more than 15,000 in the Lu Yang bank card.

　　 With so much money, many things Lu Yang planned before can begin.

　　 First, Lu Yang rented a house of more than 80 square meters on the 3rd floor of Unit 2, Building 4, Xuefu Community, on the left of the school.

　　 The rent in 2003 was really cheap, especially for Lu Yang, who came over in 2013, it was so cheap that it was horrible.

　　A house in the Xuefu community with more than 80 square meters, furnished and furnished, costs only 500 yuan per month.

　　 Two rooms and one living room.

　　 is very big for Lu Yang to live alone.

　　 But Lu Yang likes the clean environment there, 500 yuan a month, for Lu Yang's current income, it's not a big deal, just write a few thousand more words every month.

　　 In his bones, Lu Yang is a hedonist. He feels that life is only a few short decades. It is a life that is comfortable, and it is a life that is uncomfortable.

　　 If the economy allows, there is no need to be so frugal.

　　 Otherwise, if you have worked so hard to make money, what's the point of making money if you don’t eat or not?

　　 Then, Lu Yang went to the computer store and bought an Asus laptop.

　　 The price of notebooks in 2003 was generally very high. This Asus, Lu Yang spent 7,000 and asked for a mouse and speakers as gifts. The speakers worked well. Lu Yang liked it the first time he listened to songs with it.

　　 For an online novel author, a computer is indispensable. Unless you don't want to write online for a long time, it is really a waste of time to write on manuscript paper and enter it on the computer at the Internet cafe.

　　Especially when writing plots, what information needs to be checked, it is really inconvenient to not have a computer at hand.

　　 The most important point is that with his own computer, Lu Yang’s "The Doomsday Wasteland" can be published on UU reading, and it will be very convenient to update new chapters every day.

　　 For an online author, the popularity on the Internet is the root.

The reborn Lu Yang knows very well that after a few years, even if Taiwanese publishers choose to publish works, 90% of the works they choose to publish are selected from those highly popular works on the Internet, and other under-popular authors want to publish works. , It's too difficult.

　　Also, although I write novels on the Internet, I don’t make as much money as publishing.

However, as time goes by, more and more people will read novels online. As time goes by, the net authors will earn more and more manuscript fees on the website, and the manuscript fees received on the website will even be Hundreds of times the publication fee.

　　 Lu Yang's "The Doomsday Wasteland" now has almost 300,000 words. At this time, I bought a computer and published it on the website.

　　 There are almost 300,000 characters in hand. After "The Doomsday Wasteland" is published on the website, there is no need for Lu Yang to work hard every day.

　　 When Lu Yang rented the house, he noticed that the house he rented had a network cable.

　　 So as soon as Lu Yang bought his computer, he was able to surf the Internet smoothly.

　　 That afternoon, Lu Yang registered his pen name-Wen Chou in UU Reading.

　　 Then he created a new "Doomsday Wasteland" in the author's background, and posted the first chapter of more than 3,000 words to the website for review.

　　 Internet novels in 2003 are still in the emerging stage. Although the Internet occasionally scans for pornography, there are still no river crabs that are extremely brutal a few years later.

　　 Not to mention that "Doomsday Wasteland" is not pornographic. Even if it is pornographic, no website will refuse to include it at this time.

　　 Therefore, the next day Lu Yang's new book "The Doomsday Wasteland" was approved.

　　 I need to mention that Lu Yang had moved his luggage into this house the previous afternoon.

　　 When Lu Yang was moving his luggage, he was seen by two roommates in the dormitory. At that time, he was shocked. He kept asking Lu Yang if he had found a girlfriend and moved out to live with him. Is he going to live a sexual life with his girlfriend?

　　During college, there were indeed many people who rented houses outside.

　　Almost 99% of the people who move out live in the world. They all live with their girlfriends.

　　 So, it's no wonder those two roommates are so suspicious.

Of course, Lu Yang would not say that it was to go out and write novels cleanly. At this time, Lu Yang still didn’t want his classmates to know about writing novels. Add a lot of attention.

　　 Lu Yang didn't want to live under the attention of so many people.

　　...

　　 The next morning when the new book was uploaded, Lu Yang opened his laptop while eating his own boiled egg noodles. After seeing the text message approved by the website, he sent five chapters in a row.

　　 When the five chapters were posted, Lu Yang suddenly remembered something rather cheating.

　　—That is when Lu Yang suddenly remembered that in 2003, it was very difficult to sign a contract at the beginning.

The difficulty of signing a contract was not the reason why Lu Yang was depressed. The real reason was that Lu Yang remembered that in 2003, the first novel he wrote was published at the starting point of 120,000 characters. Taiwanese publishers found it all. I asked him to sign a contract for publication, but the starting point hasn't signed him yet.

　　 In this case, as far as Lu Yang knows, he is not alone.

The starting point in 2003 was such a scam. Most of the signed works had to be more than a hundred or two hundred thousand words before signing. Unlike a few years later, when novels were sent to the starting point, when they reached the starting point of 30,000 or 50,000 words, they would be deceived. Start signing.

　　 Is it going to be more than a hundred thousand words before signing this time?

　　 This is a disadvantage! Before signing the contract, I have been running naked and there is no website recommendation.

　　 Lu Yang stopped eating noodles for a while. After thinking about it carefully, he decided to post a weekly manuscript like this. When the website stipulates that the new book is enough for 30,000 words, he can apply for the first contract application.

　　 When the "Doomsday Wasteland" is published with enough 30,000 words, apply for it. If it fails, try to contact the editor of the website in order to get the website's recommendation one day earlier.

　　 For Lu Yang now, his 29 years of life experience in his previous life tells him that many things do not need to be so disciplined.

　　Because of being too disciplined, it means rigidity, and rigidity comes at a price.

　　 When needed, Lu Yang doesn't mind contacting the editor at the starting point directly to try and see if he can sign a contract directly, but he hasn't reached that point yet.

　　 Maybe when 30,000 words applied for the contract, it was successfully signed.

　　 After all, the quality of this "Doomsday Wasteland" far exceeds that of his predecessor before his rebirth.

　　...

　　 As an online author, the first path was very hard.

　　 It can be said that any newcomer, even if his first book is awesome, the first period of time, ranging from a dozen days to several months or even years, is all suffering.

　　 Such as Lu Yang's "Doomsday Wasteland".

　　 Although the quality is definitely better than any work Lu Yang has ever written.

　　 But when I first started uploading it to UU reading, my popularity was so bleak that it hurts.

　　 Five chapters were posted on the first day. When Lu Yang came back from school in the afternoon and turned on the computer, he had only 12 hits, only 2 recommended tickets, and 1 favorite.

　　 In 2003, UU reading www.uukanshu. There is no monthly ticket list or fan list for the starting point of com.

　　 A new book is posted on the website, and the only data that can be seen are clicks, recommendation votes, and favorites.

　　 In addition to the data, the only thing you can see is the book reviews in the book review area.

　　 Unfortunately, on the first day of "Doomsday Wasteland" officially uploaded, in addition to a congratulatory book review automatically published on the starting point website, there were only 4 advertisements in the book review area.

　　 Seeing this kind of bleak situation, Lu Yang could not help showing a bitter smile, although he had been mentally prepared, and cursed silently: "His grandma has a leg!"

　　 Then, without saying anything, another chapter was passed up.

　　 Then I thought about it, and added a sentence below the introduction of the book page: This book has 300,000 manuscripts saved, please feel free to collect it and read it.

　　 Lu Yang has walked through this era. It is clear that there are nine out of ten online novels at this time without manuscripts, and nine out of ten will soon be eunuchs.

　　 Most of the new books are less than one hundred thousand words, so they stop forever.

　　This phenomenon has made countless readers who have fallen into tears burst into tears.

　　 can only scold the **** to death while re-searching for works that can be seen.

　　 Therefore, in general, the online literature circle at this time is an era of cheating for both authors and readers.

　　 The author is hard pressed, and the readers are also very hard pressed.

　　 (The book is still thin, you can add it to the bookshelf first, and then read it when you get fat.)
