Lisco's American Life
301. Lisko's short stories
David also lowered his head and pondered Lisko's words. After thinking about it, if he expanded, the operating costs of the ranch would increase again, which would test his ability.
Moreover, he had never done a tourist ranch before, so he was totally at a loss and didn’t know how to start.
David didn't know the future, but Liske knew very well that after the 2008 Olympic Games in his previous life, the economy of China and most countries in the world had developed rapidly, and the number of tourists traveling abroad was dozens of times that before. For these hands
For those who have some savings, there is still a market for spending a small amount of money to experience the American pastoral scenery in Hollywood movies. This exotic style is still very popular.
Moreover, Lisko's ranch also has home-brewed beer, a sea of lavender flowers where you can take photos, and you can even cooperate with Leite to carry out target shooting projects. These are all very attractive features.
"But I don't know if I can do it well."
David looked distressed and said helplessly to Lisko.
"It doesn't matter, it's the first time for everyone."
While David was thinking about it, Lisko had already taken out two cigars from the cigar cabinet at the back, lit one himself, smoked it, and handed it to David.
He stood up, holding a cigar in his hand, and opened the curtains of the window, standing on a high place and looking at the boundless pasture in the distance.
"David, this is where I grew up. For me, this is my home. I hope that when I am old, I can sit here and bask in the sun with my grandchildren, so no matter what, keep it going
The management of the ranch is very important to me.”
As he spoke, he turned around and looked at David. The sunlight behind him came in, illuminating his whole body with a golden light.
"Don't worry, I contacted my friends. They are several ranches that have successfully transformed. I hope to visit and learn from their ranches. I will take you with me then, and you should observe them carefully."
Lisko knew that the pressure he was putting on David seemed a bit high, and he was also afraid that his right-hand man would give up his job.
"Is that so? Then I'll have some confidence."
David was also moved by Lisko's confession and was fooled. He also heard that there was something he could learn from, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
After seeing off David, who had regained his fighting spirit, Lisko felt a little relieved. From the time he got the news in the morning to now having a solution, he had spent a lot of mental energy.
After stretching, he began to lie down lazily, and accidentally glanced at the newspaper on the table on the side.
When he took it over and looked at it, he remembered that this was the sample magazine he had mailed to him after Yashin came over last time to ask for a manuscript. He had written a few short stories for him from time to time.
Turning to the first page, Lisko glanced at it and saw his column on it.
Because the book "The Little Prince" was handed over to the publisher early, Lubo also suggested that Lisko continue to publish columns to maintain his popularity. Writers, like many celebrities, are forgetful readers. If there is no new work for a long time,
It’s easy to get involved in other writers’ works.
This was not good for Lisko's development. Thinking that short stories would not take much effort, Lisko agreed and would write a few articles a month and send them to Yashin via email.
Of course, the newspaper attaches great importance to Lisko, a great writer. The column is placed on the first page of the newspaper, which is a very golden section.
Printed on it is the manuscript submitted a few days ago, "Chameleon."
This novel is a satirical novel that Lisko rarely wrote. Once it was published, there was a lot of discussion. According to Lu Bo, it even caused a wave of enthusiasm in society.
The original novel describes the hypocritical flattery, adaptability to the wind, and groveling face under the Tsarist autocratic system.
Lisko copied it and made changes. He put the background in the modern era and wrote about the attitude of government civil servants in dealing with the affairs of the rich and ordinary people respectively. This article was published on the official website of the Literary Newspaper.
It was also hotly discussed on Twitter.
Lisko, whose original reputation was somewhat quiet, once again came into everyone's sight, and even boosted the sales of Lisko's previous books that had stagnated.
Everyone saw this kind of novel that was very close to reality and had encountered similar situations in their lives. They read it very happily and rushed to share the situations they encountered with everyone. Things became more and more intense, and they were on the hot search list.
Wandered for a long time.
Lisko's name was also searched again and again. When they learned about Lisko's achievements and achievements, many people who were not literature lovers began to pay attention to Lisko.
People want to know more about this mysterious and excellent writer. Even the photo of Lisko with his friends when he was in school was reposted by everyone.
This is why Lubo suggested that Lisko start giving interviews. In his opinion, now is a good time.
"The typical example of Auf created by the writer Lisko has distinctive characteristics and reflects the shady behavior of current government officials. However, Lisko did not directly use angry exposure and profound criticism to this phenomenon, but used
The outstanding artistic skills of humor and satire expose the ugliness and despicability hidden under the gorgeous solemnity of this country that flaunts human rights and freedom."
"The author selects fragments of scenes from daily life as materials, refines and processes them, and uses extremely humorous writing and ironic language to depict the ugly faces of government officials who flatter the powerful and oppress the people. He deeply exposes the hypocrisy of today's bureaucrats and criticizes them.
"Chameleon" has transcended time and national boundaries and become a typical example of the capricious trend in the world's cultural and artistic corridors."
Lisko looked at the appreciation of his works by some famous and prestigious masters in the literary world, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
Looking at his works that have been wildly discussed, he now agrees with Lu Bo's ideas. If he wants to continue to move forward in the literary circle, he must write more works.
It seems that my decision to take on the column was right.
Thinking of this, Lisko became more motivated to work. He opened the document in his notebook and planned to pursue the victory and continue writing some short stories to lay the foundation for his current rising reputation.
After thinking for a while, he realized that his last article, Chameleon, was a satire on the current social climate. There was no need to write the next article like this, as it would ruin his favorability among politicians.
He typed the title on the screen, "The Gift of the Magi."
This is a work by O. Henry, one of the world's three great short story masters. The content is about a poor young couple who reluctantly give each other Christmas gifts. It reflects the hardship of the lower class people in the United States and praises the protagonist's kind heart and pure love.
.
Of course, there is a hidden meaning in this, which satirizes the revelation of the huge gap between the rich and the poor in the United States today, which is also in line with his cynical character as a young writer today.
