Lisko’s American Life

Lisko saw that the other party seemed to have something to communicate with him, and immediately followed the other party to a quieter and less crowded corner.

"What's wrong? Is there anything I can do for you?"

In fact, when he received the invitation from the other party, the first thought that popped up in Lisko's mind was that the other party might have encountered some difficulties and wanted to seek his own help. After all, he often encountered such things at other times. So for Lisko, this kind of thing is no longer unusual.

Furthermore, I still appreciate this writer's works and the other party's talent. If it is something that is not so troublesome, and if there is something I can help, he will not be stingy with his assistance But if this matter is really difficult to solve, he can only say sorry. After all, appreciation is one aspect, but if you haven't appreciated it, you can pay a great price for the other party's affairs.

Diogu Schroeder also went through a lot of struggles after he stopped. After all, he also took great risks to discuss this kind of thing. Then I may not have the face to continue to communicate with Lisko about other things. I just picked it up, and the good conversation and friendship will come to an end with this incident.

But right now, I really don't have any more suitable solution. If I can't find Lisko's opinion and help, I can say that my path in this profession is facing the possibility of breaking down.

"Mr. Lisk doesn't know if the publishing house under your name has any plans to sign new writers. To tell you the truth, I offended a tycoon in the publishing industry here in the UK, mainly because the other party wanted to take me. If I agree with the other party, my work may be modified beyond recognition. As for the division of interests, I don’t care too much, but for the expression of my work I am still quite firm about the thoughts that come out.”

Speaking of this matter, Diogu Schroeder still feels a little ashamed and hard to say. After all, it seems that there is not much difference in age between himself and Lisko, and he even seems to be slightly older , but when it comes to comparing the status and achievements in literature, the gap between myself and the other party is really too big, and it can even be said that it is not relevant to flatter a horse.

When the other party was dominant in the world's literary world, not only was he just starting out in the literary world, but he was even in such an embarrassing situation because of his stupidity and relatively unfamiliar operations. The publishing tycoon offended by the other party has already spoken out. It can be said that there is almost no way for his works to be published in the whole of the UK, although the literary value of his works is still relatively good. , but to be honest, the sales volume is not too classic.

For such a meager profit, hardly any publishing house would take the risk of offending a tycoon-level figure in another industry.

After all, people also have their own precise judgment. It is completely unnecessary to offend such a tycoon who may cooperate and even bring profits for an unknown person.

It is precisely because of this that Diogu Schroeder is now in a dilemma. On the one hand, his first work has attracted wide attention in the industry, and people still agree and recognize the thoughts expressed in other works. , but because the second book has not been released for a long time, the reputation has been in a state of decline. If this situation continues, the next book may start from a completely new state. After all, a person without any reputation There is no difference between a so-called writer and a newcomer writer.

Diogu Schroeder has been in a state of desperation during this time. Although the last book was relatively good, it was indeed not very popular, and the profit share he obtained from the previous work was also negligible. After spending so long, he has already bottomed out, and coupled with the lack of new income, the whole person is already facing a state of embarrassment.

Although there is some helplessness for this situation, and it can even be said to be very disgusting, Diogu Schroeder has no better solution, so during this period of time, he tried his best to obtain The invitations to one banquet after another are hoping to find a person who appreciates oneself and recognizes one's talent at this kind of banquet, and through the help of the other party, let oneself get out of this embarrassing situation and environment now.

He has been attending similar banquets for almost half a month, and each time he has not found any turning point at all. If it is about literature, there may be many people willing to communicate with him. But if they talk about their current situation, or ask the other party to help find some other opportunities, almost everyone keeps silent. After all, for these writers, they themselves are at a level that cannot afford to offend a tycoon. It is completely thankless for someone you just met to challenge the majesty of the other party.

So every time I attend a banquet, I almost return home with a drunken attitude, and then wake up the next day, wash my face, clean up my appearance, and then go to the next banquet. This kind of life repeats Repeatedly, I kept making myself feel as though my whole life and situation seemed to be in darkness, and I couldn't find any place where I could see the light.

But when he saw Lisko's attitude towards himself today, Diogu Schroeder seemed to see a new dawn. Compared with others, Lisko has a natural advantage. On the one hand, he himself is a capital , the relationship with the publishing house should be that the other party flatters him, not that he treats the publishing house with a complex attitude.

Furthermore, the other party has a powerful publishing organization under its name, and has almost completed the integration of the entire ecological chain of the publishing industry. Therefore, being able to attach to the other party's banner is also an alternative way out for me, and the other party's channels and strength cannot be underestimated, even better than the publishing house I signed with before.

Furthermore, the strength of the other party is in the United States, and he doesn't care whether he is offended or not. He belongs to a British publishing house tycoon, because the two sides have no intersection at all, and even their social status is not so matched, so naturally they don't worry about this. situation and difficult situations.
