Lisco's American Life

Chapter 70 The Little Prince

With the surprise of being recognized by his instructor, Lisko lay on the bed after a long absence, and fell into a deep sleep with the familiar fragrance on the quilt.

Lisko brought his laptop with him when he came out. During the past few days at his tutor's house, he calmed down and slowly completed the remaining parts of the book "The Little Prince". Of course, he showed it to his tutor as soon as possible.

.

Berman was used to printing out manuscripts on manuscript paper. He felt that there was no texture on electronic devices. Lisko had studied with him for so long, so he must have known this quirk, so he printed it out with a printer and gave it to him.

The full text of "The Little Prince" has 295,000 words, and it is a thick stack when printed. Berman wore gold-rimmed eyes and quietly tasted it in the study, while Lisko sat aside and waited for his evaluation.

"I always thought that I was very rich and owned a unique flower in the world; in fact, all I owned was just an ordinary rose. An ordinary rose..."

"If it were me, if I had fifty-three minutes at my disposal, I would leisurely walk to a clear spring."

"Old houses, stars and deserts - there is something invisible that gives them their beauty..."

As Berman was flipping through the pages, he occasionally saw some sentences that made him very surprised.

Berman also thinks Lisko's book is very good. He likes Lisko's ideas very much. The book "Wheat Field" made him famous among students. This book is aimed at children. No parent will refuse such a book.

A book that teaches children to yearn for truth, goodness and beauty.

He put down the manuscript in his hand and looked at some of the young and excessive disciples in front of him. Jealousy really emerged in his heart. He felt as if all the literary spirit in the world had been taken over by him.

"Okay, very good." Berman calmed down and expressed his exclamation unabashedly.

Lisko's book revealed sharp satire and criticism of some ugly phenomena in society. Berman was also a little worried about whether it would reflect on politicians, but he soon felt relieved that he could still block any sins committed by literary writers.

Childhood is a time of longing for miracles, pursuing warmth, and full of dreams. In contrast, adults are lifeless, power-hungry, and vain. "Adults should follow children as role models." Lisko chose a child's perspective to see the world, using the child's

Children's innocence, curiosity, and desire to know more about the world are used to tell stories to adults, especially to those adults who are still "childlike at heart", so that they can use the imagination of the little prince to temporarily forget their desires belonging to the adult world and fly away.

Go back to your childhood, reflect on real life, and discover the true meaning of life.

Berman was really full of praise after reading it. This book may not win awards, but it is definitely a work that can be in the top five best-selling lists.

Patted Lisko on the shoulder,

"You are beyond my expectation."

After the tender moment passed, Lisko said goodbye to the reluctant Mary and everyone, and made a promise to "definitely come back often in the future." Lisko left the castle under the watchful eyes of everyone.

After returning to the hotel, Lisko immediately contacted his agent. Lubo had been calling him in the past few days. Lisko knew that his mentor did not like these literary agents very much, and felt that they were all a group of vampires who were lying on writers.

I understand that in today’s society it is unavoidable to have an agent to take care of the chores, but I still don’t like seeing these people, so I had to arrange for Lubo to wait until he returns to the hotel to discuss the matter.

"Hey, Rube."

"Li, I've been waiting for you for several days. Are you in the hotel now?" Lu Bo's tone was anxious.

"Yes, I just came back," Lisko shrugged sheepishly. He originally planned to come back in two days, but he couldn't bear Mary's strong persuasion and had to stay a few more days. Lubo also waited for a long time.

I told him the room number and soon heard a knock on the door.

Lisko stood up and opened the door, "Lu Bo."

He reached out and patted Lubo's big belly.

"Finally I see you," Lubo's tone was full of resentment. He was originally in the UK to negotiate a copyright contract. When he heard that Lisko had finally come out of the ranch, he hurried back. Unexpectedly, he still had to wait here for several days.

.

As for rushing into the manor to meet him, Lubo thought about Berman's unkind eyes and felt guilty.

"How is the recent copyright deal?" Lisko looked at him sitting on the sofa with difficulty. Lubo had become fatter and fatter in recent years, and the custom-made hardcover shirt could not restrain his growing belly.

"Very good, Li. Your works are still very popular in the copyright market. The main reason is that the works are excellent. I never go to find clients. There are always a lot of clients looking for us."

Lubo took a sip of water, with some pride in his tone.

Then he explained the recent company developments to Lisko.

"We have received news that many organizations have submitted the book "Wheatfield" to Sweden. The specific results can only be waited for. After all, we cannot win this award. At present, we have swept away the literary awards in the United Kingdom, the United States and Europe. We

The company also rushed to order several trophy stands.”

Lisko usually didn't like to collect these trophies, so Lubo took them and placed them at the entrance of the company. Everyone who entered the company would be attracted by the rows of trophies.

Lubo often brought new writers he had just signed here to pay his respects.

"Here are the honors won by our company's shareholder, Liske, who wrote three books. You will also be successful in the future."

Live like a success master.

Lisko flipped through the report. After the book "Wheat Field" was included in the recommended reading books for middle school students in the United States, the somewhat stagnant sales began to surge again. Publishers in other English-speaking countries have also been receiving good news. The current book is also listed below the document.

All proceeds.

"The total sales share is 170 million, and the copyright income is 90 million."

Lisko is still very satisfied with this result. The income this time has increased a lot compared to the previous two books. After all, Lisko's popularity is also rising.

After returning the document, Lisko still recognized Lu Bo's work.

"This is a new book I wrote recently. It looks at the world from a child's perspective. You can show it to Langdon and talk about the increase in the share of the book."

When Lu Bo heard about the new book, he immediately showed a speed that was inconsistent with his body. He jumped up from the sofa and flipped through the printed manuscript paper several times.

Lu Bo looked at it carefully for a while. Although he was not a literary connoisseur, he had been an agent for many years and had his own level of appreciation. After Lu Bo looked at it, he knew that this book would definitely be better than all Lisko's books.

A big hit because this time the target is children.
