But...it is normal in life to give up for five buckets of rice.
She then greeted her warmly: "Yes (=^^=)."
Guomu: "Your story is very well written, very consistent with the style of our magazine, and the writing style is also very close to the interests of Wanwan Publishing House, so I won you a manuscript fee of 60 per thousand words. But, can you tell me
, can you complete this story? Estimated number of tens of thousands of words?"
Ding Wei's heart was stiff and her fingers didn't obey her orders. At this moment, money controlled her destiny!
She slowly typed the next line: "Actually, the one posted last night has not been revised yet. It needs to be refined and added with some details. If the number of words is within a million, you can follow the magazine's arrangements."
Anyway, for the article she read later, a million or two million words was not a problem, just add a few details!
Guomu: "Great! I also think it's a bit too fast, but the rhythm is very good, so I don't plan to talk about it. It would be great if you have your own ideas - but is a million words too much? From the publishing side
I also prefer stories within 100,000 words, and the serialized stories in our magazine are not that long."
Although she couldn't make money with the same number of words, Ding Wei was miraculously relieved.
She replied: "No problem, I can write 100,000 words, and the refined version can be given to you within a week."
Guomu: "Okay, you can refine 10,000 words first to ensure that they will be serialized next month. The manuscript fee will be paid after the magazine is serialized. You need to provide your bank card ID..."
…
When Bai Shanshan came back, Ding Wei was paying close attention to the screen. That kind of attention made Bai Shanshan couldn't help but become cautious.
Ding Wei had already stopped and rubbed her eyes - protecting eyesight starts with me.
"Weiwei, what are you doing?"
Ding Wei thought for a while and told the truth: "I am writing a story and submitting it to a magazine."
Bai Shanshan was in awe: "You are so awesome!"
She didn't ask Ding Wei what she had written, but instead urged her: "Hurry up and write, I will use the computer for you during this period, and I will just copy the downloaded content to my phone!"
After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help but said: "Weiwei, when you finish writing, can you show it to me first? I will definitely buy a magazine to support you! I want to buy a thousand copies!"
Ding Wei struggled to squeeze out a smile and waved her hand weakly: "That's not necessary..."
She relaxed her shoulders and started typing again.
…
Ding Wei had never written a long novel and had no confidence in controlling the number of words, so she adopted a stupid method - she first shortened the 30,000-word plot including the previous 15,000 words, and added the fight between four men and the five million check from her mother-in-law.
, The Evil Fiancée, Tianliang Wang Po and other plots, finally ended with Dongfang Hao winning the beauty, Nangong Aotian, Ximen Liangchen, and Beiming Zun silently guarding her, finally completing the story successfully.
Finally, I add a little detail to each plot from scratch... In short, in the process of adding details, except that the logic is always ready to change the outline online, the speed is still very fast.
When the full text was completed, it was exactly 99,000 words.
So she was ready to make another move, and added a small extra story, adding up to 100,000 words.
At this time, only five days had passed since I contacted the editor.
Ding Wei also relaxed completely.
She did the math, and it was 60 for a thousand words. This story would get almost 6,000, and after tax, there was still more than 5,000.
Five thousand yuan is enough to buy an ordinary mobile phone, buy a few more things, and order some more from home, which is enough for almost half a year.
In the past six months, she has been able to improve her writing skills!
…
Of course, after using Bai Shanshan's computer for so long, she will do what she promised.
Although...embarrassing and shameful.
"Shanshan, I'll give you the computer back." When she handed the notebook over, she whispered, "It's in your mailbox."
Bai Shanshan's eyes lit up and she quickly climbed onto the bed and turned on the computer.
Lu Li found three tutoring jobs. After trial lessons, they agreed to pay 100 an hour, two tutors every Saturday for three hours each, and one tutor each for two hours on Sundays.
At this time, the salary of ordinary tutors outside was not so high.
She was also very nervous as a tutor for the first time. She prepared lessons from Monday to Friday very seriously. She took a total of eight hours on Saturday and Sunday and earned 800 yuan a week!
Lu Li was so excited that even if it took two or three hours to go back and forth between the three houses, her enthusiasm would not diminish.
After all, with 800 yuan a week, she can earn more than 3,000 yuan a month. After all, she is a little worse than Bai Shanshan in the entire dormitory!
She happily said to Bai Shanshan: "Shanshan, thank you for teaching me how to use the computer. When I get my salary, I will treat you to the little prodigy!"
Bai Shanshan shook her head: "The little prodigy is not delicious."
Just then, Chen Siyu interjected from the side: "People can afford tens of thousands of dollars in computers, but a little prodigy who can only earn one dollar?"
Lu Li was a little embarrassed.
Ding Wei hurriedly said: "Lü Li, don't treat her to the little prodigy, just buy her two packs of Feiwang."
Feiwang sells spicy strips that cost 50 cents a pack, and Bai Shanshan thinks they are pretty good.
But after all, she got used to it. Although she thought it was good, it was just like that. But she also realized that what she just said might not be good, so she nodded quickly: "Yes, I want to eat Fei Wang."
."
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief, smiled quickly at her, and then asked casually: "Shanshan, can you lend me your computer for a while? I'll check something - Weiwei has been using it before, and I'm too embarrassed to say anything."
Ding Wei paused as she packed up her notes.
Bai Shanshan didn't notice at all: "Okay, but you have to wait first. I'll give it to you after I've finished it."
Lu Li bit her lip: "Okay."
Chen Siyu sneered beside him and stopped talking.
…
Bai Shanshan opened her mailbox and couldn't wait to read it——
"The Domineering President: The cute girl runs with the ball!"
Ahhhhh this name sounds like a story!
Half an hour later, Bai Shanshan hammered the bed with heartache.
After another half hour, she kneaded the corner of the quilt into a ball.
In another half an hour, she climbed directly onto Ding Wei's bed and shouted in a low voice with a suppressed and crazy voice:
"Weiwei, Weiwei, it's so beautiful! What you wrote is so good! I want to buy 10,000 copies!"
Ding Wei's eyes were complicated: "Ten thousand copies are not necessary..."
She asked seriously: "Is it really good? Where is it better?"
Bai Shanshan nodded seriously: "Really! Even if it's good, I can't tell you what's good about it, but I'm really excited to see it!"
Ding Wei also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
Looking at Bai Shanshan like this, it proves that there is no problem with the rhythm. As long as the rhythm is not wrong, the writing style and other things can be gradually improved.
She finally regained the confidence she had after three articles in a row were rejected.
Beside the bed on the left, Lu Li turned over——
Weiwei and Shanshan seemed to have a secret behind her back.
