Lisco's American Life

When he saw the title of the book "Black and White", he felt it was very interesting, and then he flipped through two pages.

With his professional appreciation level, it is easy to find that this book is indeed great. The reason why the editor rejected it was still because of the subject matter.

As long as the book is written about racial discrimination, it will not pass the first test in the editorial office and will be thrown away.

No matter how nice or lofty the slogan is, in the final analysis, a publishing house is still a company that wants to make a profit. This kind of subject matter that may not necessarily make money and will be attacked by others will of course be rejected.

But this is not what Lu Bo is interested in. As a cultural company, he is more concerned about the writer's future and writing style. The subject matter and other matters are trivial matters. Lu Bo is not without connections in the literary world.

What's more, the cultural company has its own publishing house that it just acquired, so it's no problem to try this book.

Thinking of this, Lubo took a taxi directly to the address where the manuscript was mailed, and found Ian who was taciturn and incompatible with all his classmates from a high school.

After successfully persuading the other party's family, of course he would mention Lisko's name as his trademark.

Hearing that he could become a writer under an agent together with his idol, Ian felt like he was about to faint from happiness.

“Really good.”

Lisko, who was talking about it, looked at the manuscript in his hand, and then at Ian, who had a young face. He really couldn't imagine that the boy opposite him was so talented. Sure enough, talented people are reserved.

"Okay, I agree. I will email you the preface later."

"Boy, please remember to mail me a copy when your book is published."

Lisko handed the manuscript to Ian, patting him on the shoulder and teasing him.

"Okay, sir, I will definitely do that."

When Ian heard his idol's request, he nodded solemnly, fearing that he would forget. He also took out the inspiration notepad he carried with him and wrote the matter solemnly on it, fearing that he would forget.

His serious and clumsy look caused Lisko and Lubo to laugh again.

"By the way, tell me about you."

After the business is done, it’s time for chatting among friends.

"Your recent interview was quite good. Everyone was very interested. I heard that the subscriptions of the newspapers you interviewed increased a lot in the new year."

During this period, Lisko was also implementing the publicity plan formulated by the publishing house and Lubo. However, most of the interviews were text interviews. The newspaper sent some questions they wanted to interview through email. Lisko chose the ones he could answer and replied.

.

Then the newspaper society published these replies in the newspaper. Because Lisko had been hiding behind the scenes, many readers who were interested in him rushed to buy newspapers with his news.

Readers who didn't know anything about Lisko became interested after seeing a long list of introductions to Lisko's identity and achievements in the newspaper, and tried to understand him.

"Are you interested in the last episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show"? This program team is very interested in you and has invited you several times. This is a top resource."

"Is it the CBS one?"

Lisko recalled that although he didn't know much about TV programs and watched very few, he still knew about The Ellen DeGeneres Show, one of the most popular variety shows in the United States.

"Yes, that's it."

The Ellen Show has been on the air for six years, and host Ellen also serves as the host of the Oscars.

Lisko became a little interested. He had watched several episodes of this show, and every time there would be some prank sessions, where a person would suddenly come up from behind, wearing funny monster clothes, and startle the guests.

"Why would they be interested in me?"

Lisko had some doubts. After all, most of the guests on this show were Hollywood people, and he was just a serious literary writer.

"Who knows?"

Lu Bo also shrugged helplessly. When he received the invitation, he thought it was someone's trick. He called the program team specifically to confirm, and then he believed the news.

"Perhaps it's because of your popularity when you show up for an interview for the first time?"

Lubo guessed, but what he didn't expect was that the host of this show, Ellen, was a loyal fan of Lisko's books. It was only at her request that the program team invited Lisko many times.

"Okay, I can go and participate."

Lisko thought about it for a while, but decided to accept the invitation to participate in an episode of the Ellen Show. On the one hand, it was to warm up the Christmas book release, and on the other hand, the program was really good and Lisko liked it very much.

"Great, I'll inform them when I get back."

Lu Bo was overjoyed when he heard Lisko's decision unexpectedly. The main purpose of his visit this time was to let Lisko write a new preface for Ian. He did not expect such an unexpected gain.

Lisko has never liked to accept public interviews, which has always been a headache for Lu Bo. He has persuaded him many times. According to him, if Lisko is willing to accept interviews and show his face appropriately, his popularity will definitely be higher than now.

Comparable to those Hollywood movie stars.

It is also very beneficial to the sales of his books.

But he was rejected by Lisko every time, and Lisko was the dominant person in the relationship between the two, so it was hard for him to continue to say anything.

Now Liske is moved. This is a good start. If there is a first time, there will be a second time.

This iceberg was finally conquered by him. Lu Bo waved his fists in his heart and celebrated, but kept an expression on his face, for fear that the other party would change his mind.

Let’s briefly talk about Haas’s new book. Some time ago, in order to avoid the embarrassing incident of a fight with Lisko’s new book, Haas’s new book was released in advance on the advice of the publisher. Lu Bo said that the sales volume was very high.

Excellent, not inferior to previous romance novels at all.

In addition, the public's reputation for this book is very high. Some critics who often attacked Haas in newspapers also gave Haas an uncharacteristically positive response. The mentor also rarely published comments in newspapers to express his gratitude to himself, who had returned from the lost path.

Disciple platform.

Publishers have even begun to prepare to compete for literary awards in the new year to gild Hass, a popular writer.

In order to avoid these annoying things, senior brother Haas took his girlfriend to travel to her hometown of Romania. He has been there for several months now, regardless of how his books are sold.

Lisko can only be seen through the photos he posts on his Twitter from time to time.

It can be seen with the naked eye that since getting together with Ada, Haas's figure has inevitably begun to develop sideways like an inflated balloon.

But there is always a happy smile on his face, and he seems to be doing well.
