Lisko’s American Life

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

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

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

No matter how good the label is and how high-end it is, the publishing house is still a profitable company after all. This kind of subject matter that may not necessarily make money, but will also be attacked by others, will of course be rejected.

But Lu Bo didn't care about this. As a cultural company, he was more concerned about the writer's future and style of writing. Subject matter and so on were trivial matters, and Lu Bo was not unrelated in the literary world.

What's more, the cultural company has its own exclusive publishing house that has just been acquired, so it is no problem to test the waters with this book.

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

Successfully persuaded the other party's family members, of course, they would mention Lisko's name as their own signboard.

Hearing that he and his idol could become a writer under an agent, Ian felt so happy that he was about to faint.

"It's really good."

Lisko, who talked about it, looked at the manuscript in his hand, and then looked at Ian with a green face. It was really unimaginable that the boy opposite him was so talented. Sure enough, talented people are reserved.

"Okay, I agree, preface I will send you an email after a while."

"Boy, remember to mail me a copy when it's published."

Lisko handed the manuscript to Ian, and patted him on the shoulder to tease him.

"Yes, sir, I will certainly do that."

When Ian heard his idol's request, he nodded solemnly, afraid that he would forget, he also took out the inspiration notepad that he carried with him, and wrote this matter down solemnly, for fear that he would forget.

His serious and clumsy appearance caused Lisko and Rube to burst into laughter.

"By the way, let's talk about you."

Now that the work is done, it's time to chat with friends.

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

During this time, Lisko was also implementing the publicity plan formulated by the publishing house and Lu Bo, but most of the interviews were written interviews. He sent some questions they wanted to be interviewed to the newspaper society through emails, and Lisko chose the ones he could answer to reply to the past. .

Then the newspaper society published these replies in the newspaper, because Lisko has been hiding behind the scenes, and many readers who are interested in him will rush to buy newspapers that print his news.

And all the readers who don't know anything about Lisko's identity and achievements in the newspaper are also interested and try to understand him.

"Are you interested in the last episode of "Ellen Show"? This program group is very interested in you and has initiated several invitations. This is a top resource."

"The one from CBS?"

Li Sko recalled that although he didn't know much about TV programs and watched very few, he still knew about the Allen Show, the most popular variety show in the United States.

"Yes, that's it."

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

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

"Why are they interested in me?"

Li Ke has some doubts. After all, most of the guests on this show are those from Hollywood, and he is just a serious literary writer.

"Who knows?"

Lu Bo also shrugged helplessly. When he received the invitation, he thought it was someone who was tricking him, so he called the program team to confirm it before he believed the news.

"Maybe it's because of the popularity of your first appearance for an interview?"

Lu Bo guessed, but what he didn't expect was that the host of this show, Allen, was a loyal fan of Lisko. Under her strong request, the program team would invite Lisko many times.

"Okay, I can go."

After thinking about it for a while, Lisko decided to accept the invitation to participate in the Allen Show. On the one hand, it was to warm up the release of the new Christmas book. On the other hand, this show was really good, and Lisko liked it very much.

"Great, I'll let them know when I get back."

Lu Bo was overjoyed when he heard Lisko's decision unexpectedly. His main purpose of coming this time was to let Lisko write a new preface for Ian. He didn't expect such an unexpected harvest.

Lisko has always disliked accepting public interviews, which has always caused Lu Bo a headache. He has persuaded him many times. According to him, if Lisko is willing to accept interviews and show his face properly, his popularity will definitely be higher than it is now. Comparable to those Hollywood movie stars.

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

It's just that he was rejected by Lisko every time, and the relationship between the two was also Lisko's dominant position, so he couldn't continue to say anything.

Now that Lisko has moved, this is a very good start. After the first time, there will be a second time.

This iceberg was finally conquered by him. Lu Bo waved his fists in his heart, celebrating, but his face was full of expressions, for fear that the other party would change his mind.

I briefly chatted 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 at the suggestion of the publishing house. I heard from Lu Bo that the sales volume was very high. Excellent, not at all inferior to the previous romance novels.

Moreover, the public has a high reputation for this book, and some critics who used to attack Haas in newspapers also uncharacteristically gave Haas affirmation. The mentor also rarely published comments in the newspaper, giving himself a platform for this apprentice who has lost his way.

The publishing house even began to prepare for the new year's literary awards to gild the popular writer Haas.

And senior brother Haas, in order to avoid these troublesome things, directly took his girlfriend to her hometown of Romania for a trip. He has been there for several months now, regardless of how well his books are selling.

Lisko can only see him from time to time through the photos he posts on his Twitter.

It can be seen with the naked eye that since being with Ada, Haas's figure has inevitably started to develop horizontally like a blown balloon.

But there is always a happy smile on his face, and he looks really good.
