Lisko’s American Life

147. Xunqu Valley

Speaking of which, Lisko took out the Xun that he had put in his pocket early, and the black palm-sized cool appearance attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone stared at this novelty that had never been seen before.

Liske continued to introduce, "The birth of this musical instrument has been going on for seven thousand years. According to the research of Chinese archaeology, the earliest record of this musical instrument is the ruins of the primitive era."

The people in the audience exclaimed and praised.

I don’t know if it’s because of the lack of something that everyone will like it more.

For these American literati, Lisko discovered that the people around them liked the things and things with a long history, especially this kind of mysterious objects, which aroused their interest the most.

Having said so much, the emotions in the audience have been mobilized almost, and Lisko is ready to start playing.

There happened to be a stool on the stage, so he took it over, adjusted the microphone, sat on the stool and took a deep breath.

"Huh~"

Just when everyone's patience was wiped out by the long wait, Lisko, with his finger on the air vent, started to play.

"Woo~" A sad voice sounded, this kind of sound that I had never heard before caught everyone's ears, and the people who were still whispering stopped, closing their eyes really felt like being in a deep valley , the feeling of no one around.

Xun has always been called the sound of the beginning of autumn. Its sound fits the bleakness and loneliness of autumn. When you hear the sound, you will think of the green plant on the green bricks of the city wall.

Moss, weathered by war and wind and frost, the stalks left after the harvest of Jianxiang rice, become the accumulation of history alone; think of the torrent of clear water, and tell the thoughts of the ancients.

At first, Li Ke thought that this instrument was specially played for festival music, but now the Xun, which has been improved by Mr. Hou Yimin, has a wider range.

The sound is thick, ethereal and soft. When played, it is like the first ray of sunlight shining into the woods in the morning in the mountains, which makes people feel comfortable.

The piece that Lisko chose this time is the famous song "The Valley".

Lisko fell in love with this piece when he first heard it. The distant voice and mellow intonation made him encounter many difficulties when he learned it, but after he successfully played it for the first time, the sense of accomplishment was unparalleled.

The general meaning of this song is to express my yearning for nature, and hope to live in a deep valley, away from the turmoil and worldliness of the world.

The audience in the audience has been immersed in the tune.

Good music can infect emotions. Although no one has seen or heard this new form of music, this kind of free emotion is indeed conveyed by Lisko.

This piece lasted three minutes, and of course Lisko didn't have the breath to complete it.

However, he has already finished the performance in general, and he is still not ambiguous at all to fool the foreign devils in the audience.

Thunderous applause rang out in unison, Lisko looked at the popular performance and made a bow at the end.

After leaving the stage smoothly, there are not a few people who are interested in the musical instrument in his hand. Everyone wants to hold it in their hands to observe and appreciate it.

Liske also explained that the structure of this xun is very philosophical about life, with seven holes corresponding to the seven orifices in the human head. Chinese writers call this instrument "the spirit of earth and fire."

Seeing the people who were still interested and passed on to watch, Lisko also completed his task, and promised everyone to buy a batch and mail them to everyone one by one when they went back, so everyone let him go.

Today's gathering is over, and there is nothing to do on the last day. It is basically a small group of familiar writers in the club. When they talk, these older professors will also watch on this day , There are good seedlings that will be harvested under the door, after all, prosperity is passed on from generation to generation.

Lisko didn't have the heart to join in the fun. He was still young and didn't want to accept apprentices, and he didn't know how to instruct others, and he was the youngest here.

Haas' agent was fired by him. Of course, the other party was very unwilling, but Haas was a member of the largest literary club in the United States. He was just a speculative businessman, but he didn't have the courage to offend so many backers behind Haas.

When he was dismissed, of course Lisko went there together. He was so angry that his face was distorted, and he had to smile. He wished Haas a better literary career in the future. People have to admire him. patience.

This kind of person will definitely get ahead in business, just for this kind of attitude.

But none of this has anything to do with Lisko. He notified Lu Bo early. Of course, speed is of course important at this time. Lisko knew the news, and he was already ahead of others.

Haas's status is still very high, and a third-rate publishing house can get his book, at least it can be listed as a first-rate middle school.

So in this world, only profit is the most important thing. Lu Bo, who was afraid of being preempted, dragged his fat body, bought a plane ticket overnight, and rushed all the way back from Greece.

After arriving, he hurriedly cleaned himself up, simply washed and changed his clothes, and quickly asked Hass out, accompanied by Lisko.

This matter must not be bypassed by Lisko, but both of them are confident that Lisko plans to divide the shares a little bit, and who else has better conditions than them.

"Hey, Haas."

Lisko asked them all out in the hotel's coffee shop. As soon as he and Haas sat down, Lu Bo came over with a suitcase.

The two hugged each other, but the appearance of the two big fat men was not very beautiful. Lisko looked like two fat pork belly sticking together, and couldn't help shivering.

After calling for coffee, everyone sat down, watching the chairs creaking under the pressure of the two of them, Lisko was really worried that they would fall down.

"So, Haas, what do you think?" Lu Bo just spoke up after recovering from the exhaustion of the journey. The Americans were so straightforward when they talked about business.

"I don't have any ideas yet, but my new book may have to be shelved because of a new agent, and I don't want to collide with Li."

Haas's only concern was his new book, and he asked for nothing else.

Although he is also a best-selling author, for the first transformational book, he is not arrogant enough to touch Lisko, a well-established field.

His last agent was because he wanted to touch Lisko, and Haas only found out later that the promotional slogan he planned to play was "Lisko's senior writer, Haas's masterpiece."

Haas, who has a strong self-esteem, is of course unwilling. He can be defeated by Lisko, but he is also a writer with his own dignity.

Of course there is no shame in doing it this way.

Lu Bo was also afraid of long nights and dreams, so he directly took the contract and handed it over, which was the plan he considered along the way.

Although it is a business deal, Haas and Lisko are deeply involved, and it is not good to pursue it too seriously. Compared with the income of the investment company, the symbolic significance of the cultural company to Lisko is greater than others, so it is also willing to sell a little to it. Haas, after all, it is better for the meat to rot in the pot.
