Lisko’s American Life

Lisko was a little ashamed to see these exaggerated slogans.

On the phone, Lu Bo was still nagging, "You don't want to publicize, the publisher is very dissatisfied, but your first two books performed very well, they didn't say anything this time, the release date is this Sunday, Langdon has already The promotional posters have been completed and posted in major bookstores, and the agreed positions are also golden positions."

Liske listened to Lu Bo's report, "By the way, there is something that cannot be avoided. Random House contacted the literary newspaper to interview you. This is a text interview. The target audience of this newspaper is literature lovers. Your sales have greatly boosted your sales. You can’t shirk this time. The reporter will visit you tomorrow and take pictures of you. Also, this interview will be recorded and Random House will contact the TV station to broadcast it .”

Lisko had no objection, so he agreed.

Hanging up the nagging Lu Bo, Lisko was in the mood to deal with the sample booklet. A writer’s sample booklet is still very meaningful. Generally, the publishers send writers a special hardcover. Lisko still remembers that at a party, the famous The sample book of his fantasy masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings" was auctioned off, and was looted by everyone, and was finally raised to a million dollars. For some collectors, these books that can be properly collected and handed down are good investment products.

He took out a pen from the bookcase. This pen was also given to him by his mentor as a congratulatory gift for the publication of his first book. Although many writers nowadays use computers to write, most of the gifts given by literati are It’s better to send something for writing, it’s not so vulgar, and writers from all countries are the same.

Although it is just a pen, it is also very valuable. This is the same RMS05 of the Queen of England. It is said that only five pens were produced.

RMS05 is a precious fountain pen made by the famous Swiss watch brand Richard Mille in four years, worth 700,000.

Lisko was a little stunned when he knew its price. He couldn't imagine that a fountain pen would cost $700,000. There must be a reason why this pen is so expensive. First of all, its pen body and pen cap are made of interlayer carbon fiber material that they have researched themselves, and then use this layer of material to "draw" various patterns . Moreover, there are precise and fine watch movements inside.

When the button is pressed, the movement in the pen will run and slowly push out its own nib. Of course, this nib is also very high-grade, because it is made of 18k white gold. It can be said that it is full of mechanical sense and high-level sense.

And when the pen cap is closed, the pen will automatically retract the nib, which can prevent the nib from breaking, which is very user-friendly. And its movement is also made of light titanium alloy, and it also uses 12 rubies.

Knowing its value, Lisko seldom puts it out, and only uses it for important documents, and usually puts it in a box properly.

Lisko signed the sample books with a pen, first of all, one in his own collection, wrote today's date on it, signed his name, and put it in the bookcase.

This column in the bookcase is empty, and there are only two books in it, namely "Blood Road" and "Red Diamond". Now it has a new member, "The Catcher in the Rye".

Lisko looked at the bookcase, thinking in his heart that it must be full when he gets old, and when he looks at these books again, it must be very picturesque.

The second book was signed and read "To my beloved mentor."

He intends to give this book to his mentor, who always loves his youngest disciple very much.

The third book was written as "To the Charming Megan Fox". During the past few days together, his perception of Megan has changed a lot. He used to think that he was going to find a domestic woman to marry, but now he is a little shaken, maybe the nationality Not that important.

The fourth book is what I promised to Ben, "Give it to literature lovers, and hope that words will always be with you."

Ben is the owner of the restaurant. After getting along with him a few times, Lisko confirmed that Ben was his hardcore reader. He remembered all the plots and excerpts of his book clearly. He has a comfortable personality and is willing to slowly develop into a good friend.

The following books were signed one by one, and packaged according to the address, which was given to his different senior brothers.

Lisko's mentors are highly respected in the American literary world, and they are everywhere. Among these brothers are writers of different types, editors of newspapers, and many high-ranking politicians.

After packing, he went to the town to post the parcels separately, but he didn't have time to deliver them one by one himself.

Back in the ranch, Lisko was a little bored. He happened to see the guitar hanging on the wall, and he remembered that he bought this guitar when he was in New York.

In his previous life, Lisko worked as an editor, and occasionally had some small hobbies, that is, playing the guitar and singing. After time travelling, he joined the music lovers club. His skills were stumbled at the beginning, but he has also reached the point where he can play the guitar well.

In the literature club, writers have hobbies other than their own jobs, and they can show off at parties and perform in turn, so most of the club members have learned to play musical instruments.

Han Han, a young writer in her previous life, not only wrote lyrics, but also released an album by herself. Yu Hua, who wrote the famous book "To Live", also said that music influenced his writing.

As a writer, sometimes it is inevitable that you will get stuck and your thoughts will be broken. At this time, when you listen to a piece of music and play an instrument, you may be enlightened.

Lisko took out a cloth and wiped the dust on the guitar. The nameplate ZEMAITIS on it was shining brightly in the sun. This guitar is a famous brand among guitars and is known as "the most eye-catching diamond in the crown of the guitar kingdom". This guitar is made of 30-year-old natural-seasoned Honduran mahogany for the body, and the metal plate pattern is designed by the master engraver. The edging of the piano is very delicate. It has been frantically chased and collected by countless professional musicians.

The price of this guitar has also reached 1 million US dollars. Lisko bought it at a charity auction. Since Lisko bought this guitar, he has often been contacted by some celebrities in the music industry to buy it, but of course he refused.

Lisko adjusted the tuning, put on a good posture, and stretched out his hand to play repeatedly, and a leisurely and pleasant voice flowed out.

As he played, he patted the body of the guitar with his hands,

"Empty streets,

empty house,

empty heart,

I am so lonely. "

This song is a song released six years ago by the Irish group Westlife, and it is also a well-known song in the United States.

Lisko also often performed in clubs, his voice was surprisingly good, and the music company contacted him to release an album. He just regarded this as his hobby, so he rejected them. Of course, Lu Bo felt very sorry.

After playing an English song, he cleared his throat and the music started again.

"Wandering,

on the road,

do you want to go

via via

Fragile and proud. "

This "Ordinary Road" is also a song that Lisko particularly liked in his previous life. When he often felt helpless in life, he played and shouted over and over again by himself in the room.

"I have crossed mountains and seas, and I have also crossed mountains and seas of people. I once had everything, and it was all gone in a blink of an eye."

He often couldn't help but burst into tears, just like a sentence he often saw on videos in his previous life, "I am sorry to be born as a human being."

From the moment a person is born, he carries the expectations of too many people. Teachers expect you to be outstanding, parents expect you to live a carefree life, wives expect you to be rich and wealthy, bosses expect you to work hard, and children expect you to have a family. Constantly catering to the views and expectations of the outside world, and gradually changing our perception of the beautiful world, when one day we follow our heart to do what we want to do, we will be criticized by everyone and called a shocking lunatic .
