Lisko’s American Life
341. Lu Bo, who was born with love
The issue of skin color is indeed a big minefield in the United States. It is not that there are no writers who try to delve into the human nature in it, and every time they encounter minefields.
Because everyone has no way to ensure that their views are sufficiently neutral, white writers will be attacked by blacks when they write this, thinking that the other party's writing is one-sided and does not reflect the characteristics of their own ethnic group.
When black writers write this, they will be attacked by white people, thinking that the other party is covering up the banner of their own ethnic group, and the content is for self-entertainment.
As for writers, literati have always been underestimated.
So since there have been a couple of massive verbal fights where both white and black writers have been easily branded racist, no one wants to touch that.
However, when Lisko heard the subject matter, he looked at Ian with a slightly green face in surprise. He didn't expect that Ian, a newcomer writer, would dare to touch this in his debut work. The so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
Writers write prefaces to each other, which is a matter of smooth sailing. The seniors support the younger generations, write prefaces to the works of the younger generations, and familiar writers and friends write prefaces to each other. This is the consistent rule of the industry.
The reason why everyone shirks each other this time and is unwilling to help is also because they are afraid of getting some bad comments. If a writer is attacked for racial discrimination, those remarks about the Heart of Mary, no matter whether you are helping or not, they will also attack the author together. sequence of seniors.
So no one wants to suffer some right and wrong for nothing.
Mentor Lisko didn't have these worries. First, because his status in the literary world was high enough, he had basically won all the top literary awards in the world. He could be said to be a rising star among writers.
Many critics joked in the newspapers that the only difference between Lisko and those great writers in history is that one died.
Lisko really shocked everyone by being able to get such a high evaluation among the group of writers who think lightly.
Moreover, fans of his works cover every age group, and he is truly a literary idol that everyone likes. With so many fans, some implicated remarks dare not attack him at all, and are drowned in the sea of Chaochao people.
"this matter,"
Lisko didn't answer straight away, and he was also very embarrassed at this time. If it was another subject, he didn't ask at all, and he agreed directly. This is all a trivial matter.
But when it came to race, he couldn't help being careless. Although he wasn't afraid of others' attacks, he didn't like getting involved in such gossip.
But Lu Bo is his agent and a shareholder of the company, and the relationship between the two is very close. If he came to invite him personally, if he refused, it would seem a little too unkind.
"Did you bring the manuscript? I'll take a look first."
Lisko kept a hand in his words and didn't directly agree. If the content is too low-level and has ulterior motives, he can only feel sorry for Lu Bo.
His fame has been accumulated through his own excellent books, and cannot be wasted here.
"Bring it, bring it."
Hearing Lisko's words, Ian quickly took out a thick stack of bound manuscripts from the bag he was carrying.
Lisko took it, and the title of the book, "Black and White", was printed in conspicuous black fonts.
His eyes lit up, the name was chosen very well, and it fit the subject matter very well. An appropriate title can also add a lot of excitement to the book.
After a general look at the content, it is written about a little white boy and a black boy making friends. The book describes many conflicts between blacks and whites before, and also explores and investigates the reasons for this difference.
The book uses a third perspective, and the description is very objective, without taking any standpoint, like a third party, calmly telling the conflicts and origins of the two neighbor children, the language is very good, you can read Come out, the writer's writing is great.
After Lisko took over the manuscript, he kept flipping through it without speaking, until he closed the last page, and then applauded loudly.
"Okay, well written."
He hadn’t read such a great work for a long time, and reading it in one breath gave people a refreshing feeling. For literature lovers, a good book is like a delicate dish, and they can’t stop eating at all.
Hearing Lisko's comments, the two who had been staring at him were relieved as if they were taking a heavy burden.
"Of course, this is a genius I discovered. I think he is the next you."
"nononono, I am still far away from my husband, and I may not be able to catch up in this lifetime."
Lu Bo's ridicule aroused strong opposition from Ian. He stood up directly from the chair, his expression was full of fear, and he waved his hands at the two of them again and again.
"Ha ha ha ha."
His appearance caused Lisko and Lu Bo to burst into laughter. Sure enough, a rookie who just debuted always brings a lot of joy to people.
"It's okay, I also think you have a bright future, so come on."
Lisko restrained his smile, patted Ian on the shoulder, and motioned for him to sit down and talk.
At this time, Ian seemed to understand what Lu Bo meant, and knew that the two of them were joking, so with an embarrassed expression on his face, he scratched his head and sat down.
"Do you know how I found him?"
Lu Bo's face was full of pride and pride, and he asked Lisko ostentatiously.
"Pick it up?"
Lisko glanced at him,
"You're right, you really picked it up."
Rubeus patted his thigh.
"I was visiting a publishing house, and when I was chatting with the editor, I found this book in his trash can."
Lu Bo has a great sense of accomplishment for his ability to see this book from a pile of garbage manuscripts at a glance.
Although he currently represents Lisko and Haas, the two twin stars in the literary world, even Lisko's grades are even higher.
But he really doesn't have any sense of accomplishment at all. Liske is because of his extraordinary talent. He has been well-known in the literary world since high school, and his mentor is a big guy. Rather than being an agent, it might be better to say that Lisko chose him, and he did not operate much at all. Lu Bo felt that he was more like a tool man, who only needed to negotiate royalties, contact automatic door-to-door film and television companies, and various copyright agents. The company is just fine.
And when Haas was represented by him, he was also the No. 1 romance novel, and the transformation was also very successful.
He wants to discover newcomers from small ones, and then with his own help, he will become a successful writer step by step. This kind of cultivated feeling made him feel that his abilities are great, and it also made him recognize himself more.
What's more important is to fight back against those colleagues who say that they just got lucky and signed Lisko, so they don't have to worry about food and clothing.
He has also done a lot. The company has signed many new writers, but their achievements are hovering between the second and third rates.
