Lisco's American Life

141. Rebuking Haas (Three Days 7)

Haas lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

Although he has been able to see his mentor at gatherings in the past few years, the mentor leaves directly after every speech. Because he is getting older and tired, he does not dare to come up and talk to him every time, so this is his first time after graduation.

This is my first real visit to my mentor.

Berman took off his reading glasses and walked down from the stage. When Ryan saw it, he immediately stepped forward and supported the instructor, whose legs were numb from standing for a long time.

"Lee, when are you planning to release your new book?" Berman patted Ryan's hand and followed his lead and moved forward.

"Tutor, we plan to release it on Christmas." Lisko replied respectfully.

"Well, sure, Lu Bo is pretty good." Bomaner nodded with satisfaction. To be honest, he still prefers Lu Bo as an agent. From some things, it can be seen that Lu Bo really manages Li Si with his heart.

Science people.

"What about you?" Berman asked again casually.

Of course Haas knew he was asking himself, but ever since he started writing romance novels, his mentor never asked him how his books were selling, when they would be published, or whether there were any difficulties.

He suddenly spoke today, which meant that the instructor did not blame him. Of course he was pleasantly surprised.

"I, my editor said, I plan to publish it for Christmas." Haas spoke with excitement.

"What's your editor's plan? Do you think you can have a chance with Li? His Christmas might be a good match for the Nobel Prize. Many people in the literary world clearly say that his "Wheat Field" is the most popular work in recent years.

"The best work." Berman glanced at Haas. He really didn't like Haas's editor. First, of course, Haas was tempted to write some crooked things. If Berman hadn't said anything, the literary world would have been a long time ago.

Shout to Haas and kill him.

The second reason is that the agent is obviously someone who has fallen in the eyes of money. He doesn't care whether Haas's writing career lasts or not. Although he is a little angry, he still pays attention to Haas's recent developments and his love affairs in the past few years.

Most of the novels are just fried rice, and they all rely on their previous reputation to hold on.

If his agent hadn't been confusing Haas, how could he have published the works he had fooled around with? Berman knew very well Haas's character, who was soft-hearted and couldn't see people clearly. But the good thing is that Haas has a great understanding of literature.

Still very pious.

The most basic principle for a writer is not to be perfunctory. Readers are patient. You can be forgiven for one failure, but if you perfunctory for a long time, you will leave.

The sales of these Haas books have also declined to varying degrees, which is obvious evidence.

Fortunately, Haas stepped back from the brink and thought about transformation, and this time he read the book and he did return to his previous level. Seriousness and love are integrated into one, interesting stories plus analysis of human nature, which has formed his own style.

.

"Your agent really should be replaced. Your biggest problem is that you can't see people's hearts clearly." Berman scolded Haas.

After hearing what his mentor said, Haas began to think deeply. He also discovered that his agent might not be as good as he thought, especially when he was running out of inspiration and insisted on taking away his scrap manuscripts.

To publish, it is difficult for him to convince himself that it is for his own good.

Regarding money, Haas is not so optimistic. What he is pursuing now is the height of his writing career and the extension of his career, which obviously conflicts with the demands of his agent.

Lisko saw that Haas was a little moved, and he quickly began to persuade him. Everyone who knew Haas knew that his agent was a money-grubbing person and a person who considered things with a business mindset. This did not mean that this agent

It's very bad. It's just that it is suitable for a best-selling author and can bring a lot of income to the writer, but it cannot help a writer who is aspiring to achieve success in the literary world.

"Brother, you can consider Lu Bo. Lu Bo has great abilities, and there is no conflict between us." Lisko wanted to bring Haas to Lu Bo's cultural company. He is a shareholder of the company and can sell part of it to Haas.

S.

After all, Haas had helped him a lot in the past and was his mentor, and Haas's level was indeed very good.

Lubo often complained that his company had no other writers who could sell it except Lisko.

This kills two birds with one stone. Haas can have a reliable agent to take care of the chores, and Lisko's cultural company has another capable person who doesn't have to rely on one leg to walk.

After working for Lisko for so many years, Lu Bo has both working ability and connections.

Haas also recognizes Lubo's ability. After all, Lisko's sudden rise in status in recent years is largely due to the fact that his works are indeed wonderful, but Lubo's contribution cannot be forgotten.

Moreover, Lubo's figure, which is fatter than him, indeed makes him very approachable.

"I'll think about it carefully." Haas did not give an answer on the spot.

"Humph, what a waste of time," Burmaner rolled his eyes and followed Ryan out directly.

When we arrived at the living room, Mary was already here. Some cookies, snacks, and warm Ceylon black tea were placed in the dining room.

"Mrs. Mary," all three of them greeted respectfully.

"Oh, my Haas, I haven't seen him for a long time," Mary came up and hugged Haas, but because of her age, her figure looked very thin in front of Haas.

Mary held Haas's face and stroked it gently. She had always cared about this naughty child. She didn't care about the literary genre. She only knew that every year when the disciples came to visit, she couldn't see Haas and was always very worried.

disappointment.

Haas liked to be naughty and tricky when he was in school, so everyone liked this kid who liked to jump around.

In every family, the naughty child is always more favored by everyone, because everyone is always worried about him, while the sensible child does not need to be worried by adults.

Haas also felt ashamed. He really shouldn't have stopped to visit Mary. Mary had always loved him and often brought him pies and snacks in case he was hungry while reading.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, we began to sit down.

Pumpkin cookies and small cakes were their best memories when they were in school, so the three of them remained silent and enjoyed the food quietly.

Berman still had a serious face, and his perennial teacher aura made it difficult for everyone to joke with him, but the raised corners of his eyes still revealed his mood.

Mary looked at the three of them kindly, especially Haas who was devouring food. The old people don't dislike being too fat. What they like most is to feed you fat. If you see people who are not picky about food and are good eaters,

, even more joyful.

Haas looks very lovable, white and plump. If his face didn't look so old-fashioned, he would really look like the New Year painting doll that Lisko saw in his previous life.

Lisko picked up the tea cup. The black tea in the cup was bright red in color. The taste was refreshing and soft, with a floral aroma and less astringency. It also had a refreshing lemon flavor.

This is authentic Ceylon black tea.
