Chapter 50 Submission
PS: Thank you for the flowers of "Time and Space Proof", I am really touched...... There is nothing to repay, I can only write this book carefully, and wish you a happy family, health and happiness.
Chen Feng couldn't help but take out the scroll in the scroll curiously, it was a roll of white silk cloth, he carefully unfolded it, it was two feet square, and there were eighteen Arhats of different shapes painted inside, and directly above were written "Arhat Guide Map" five Liti characters, and below each Arhat image were written dozens of Song characters with slightly smaller fonts.
"It can't be some martial arts cheats, right?" Chen Feng couldn't help but think a little bloody. However, he carefully checked the silk cloth in his hand, although it looked a little old, but at most it was only a few decades of history, and it was not an antiquity, since it was not an antiquity, of course, it had little to do with what "martial arts cheats" were, and he immediately denied the idea of martial arts cheats. He looked at the guide map above, but it was very similar to the "Dharma Yijin Sutra" and "Baduanjin" that he knew that would be very popular on the Internet in the future, which were all gymnastics for self-care of some elderly people. He immediately put this so-called "Arhat Guide" in this category.
He felt that this silk cloth was very soft and absorbed* should be very good, and immediately wanted to use it as a tablecloth, but thinking that this was one of the relics left by his godfather, it was really disrespectful to do so, and it was a good decoration to hang on the wall for some years.
After he got all these calligraphy and painting books in his study, he took a few thumbtacks and nailed the silk cloth to the wall of his bed. Strange to say, although this silk cloth looks old, the texture is still very good*, and there are no wrinkles, this one sticks to the wall, like an ancient painting. Idle and bored, Chen Feng read this so-called guide map from beginning to end, the text content is some classical Chinese, but it is not very difficult, they can all understand, they are all the essentials of each action, as well as various breathing methods, and what is the intention to keep the * position, a bit like qigong. And each movement of the eighteen Arhats is a little difficult to do, a bit like yoga, not every ordinary person can do it casually, Chen Feng tried to do every pose under his curiosity, but every posture was not successful, not to mention what to pay attention to the breathing method at the same time, and he was in the right position, and he lost interest at the moment and stopped wasting time.
After resting at home for a day, early the next morning, Chen Feng began training with Huang Yong again. After all, he is still young, although he is willing to endure hardships, but he is still suitable for some training items in the army, and Huang Yong has already secretly been entrusted by Chen Dayong and his wife, and the requirements for him are strict, but it is not as good as the training of the reconnaissance company he used to be.
After three months passed, Chen Feng's whole mental outlook has changed greatly, he has grown taller than his peers, and now he is much stronger, and he already has the appearance of a little adult who is only thirteen or fourteen years old.
At this time, he has slowly increased the amount of training for himself, and throughout the day, except for eating and taking a short rest in the middle, he has been training all day: weight running, frog jumping, push-ups, sit-ups, dumbbells, tension machines, weightlifting, swimming, single and parallel bars......
Fortunately, he is not practicing blindly for so many events, and Huang Yongdu has specified a detailed schedule and specific training amount, so that he will not be too late, and he will hurt his body if he practices too much.
After several months of training, Chen Feng has slowly adapted to his own schedule, and with the frequent persuasion of Chen Dayong and his wife, he moved back to his own house. However, the next day, he still got up early and went to Huang Yong's side for training, but fortunately, the two families were in the same village, and the distance was not too far.
I train during the day, and when I have free time at night, I read some books in my study and plan my future. As early as a month ago, Chen Feng mailed most of the first part of the Harry Potter series "The Philosopher's Stone" to the Children's Publishing House in the provincial capital, hoping to publish it, but half a month later, there was no news, he couldn't hold back and called the publishing house to ask, and was told that they had received the manuscript, but whether it could be published or not, they were still studying, so Chen Feng was patient and waited for the notice. Seeing that a month has passed, they are still researching, and obviously the chance of publication is very slim, which can't help but make Chen Feng very depressed.
A few days later, Mr. Chen called the publisher again, expecting to tell them that if they didn't reply within three days, he would go to another publisher. But who knows, as soon as the other party heard that he was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" As for the reason, it is that although the imagination of this book is very rich and the writing is smooth, it has no educational significance of the times, and there is very little healthy and upward content in it, and more importantly, the protagonist and the characters in it are all foreigners, which is not suitable for the national environment, and most of the editors of their publishing house think that this book has no market prospect, so they decided not to sign a contract to publish it, and then, it is some polite words, let him make persistent efforts to write a better work, and welcome him to submit to their publishing house againγ
Hearing the other party's words, Chen Feng was as disgusted as eating a fly. A few years later, the Harry Potter series was recognized as a bestseller and an excellent children's work all over the world, but now in his hands, after changing countries and languages, it is actually looked down upon by the provincial city, a publishing house known for discovering new talents in the publishing industry, which cannot but be said to be a great irony. I thought that it was a safe thing, but such a situation happened, which really disappointed Chen Feng. He couldn't help but more clearly understand the profound meaning of the sentence "Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often exist".
In the next few days, Chen Feng learned his lesson, submitted more than one draft, and sent most of the novel drafts of "Philosopher's Stone" to five well-known publishing houses in China in one go, seeking to sign a contract for publication.
Ten days later, the manuscript must have been received by the other party, but none of the publishers called him to respond first. Chen Feng had no choice but to call another family to inquire, and two of them said they were still reviewing the manuscript, the other two made it clear that the novel did not meet the publishing requirements of their publishing house and would not be published, and only one publisher said that they were holding a meeting to discuss it and asked him to wait for news.
Three days later, an editor of the publishing house that asked him to wait for news took the initiative to call, Chen Feng happened to be not at home from training, Zhao Xiaolan answered the phone, as soon as she heard that the other party was the editor of a certain publishing house, she couldn't help but wonder for a long time, until the other party said her son's name and home address, she was still skeptical, her son actually wrote a novel! Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was still killed by their publishing house.
Seeing her son's disappointed expression after listening to the words passed down by the editor, Zhao Xiaolan believed that her son had really written a novel of more than 100,000 words and submitted it to the publishing house. Chen Dayong came back and learned the news from his wife, and he was also very surprised. When Chen Feng was in school before, although he also published articles in newspapers and some magazines, those were short essays of a few hundred words, at most one or two thousand words. The difference between the two is still very clear to Chen Dayong and his wife.
"It's worthy of being my son, who has a lot of talent, and actually writes novels. Chen Dayong praised him with joy on his face and patted his son's shoulder vigorously.
was rejected by four publishing houses in a row, and Chen Feng's mood at this time can be imagined. In the face of his father's praise, he was also listless.
Zhao Xiaolan comforted: "Son, isn't it just unpublished? Just now, the editor also said that your novel is a good work, and you should submit it to another publishing house. β
Chen Feng shook his head with a wry smile, and said weakly: "The problem is that my novel has been rejected by four publishing houses. β
"Ah!?" When the couple heard this, they were speechless at the moment, in their opinion, their son was young after all, and the heat for writing novels was not enough, and the publishing house should not publish the books written by the son, and if they agreed to publish it, it would be strange.
wanted to think so, but the couple hurriedly comforted: "They can't look down on it, it's because they don't have vision." They are not the only four publishing houses in the country, and tomorrow if you vote for eight of their ten publishers, there will always be one who has the insight and agrees to publish. β
Of course, Chen Feng also thought about submitting his manuscript to other publishing houses, but the time did not allow it. What's more, after experiencing the rejection of four publishing houses, he has lost confidence in the domestic publishing industry. Now at the end of 1995, Chen Feng knows that he can't wait any longer, maybe at this time, the British female writer is now almost finished with the first part, if it crashes, it will inevitably be a storm, countless pounds, dollars, francs, and marks flying in the air...... will also be swept away by the other party.
