Lisko's American life

Li Sike was still a little ashamed to see these exaggerated propaganda.

On the phone, Rubo was still nagging, “You don’t want to publicize it. The publisher is very dissatisfied. However, your first two books performed very well. They didn’t say anything this time. The listing date is this Sunday. Langdon has already The posters are ready to be posted in major bookstores, and the agreed positions are also prime locations."

Liske listened to Rubo’s report, “By the way, there’s something that can’t be avoided. Random House has contacted the Literary Newspaper for a visit. This time it’s a text visit. The target audience of this newspaper is literature lovers. Your sales have played a big role in promoting your sales. You can’t shirk this time. Maybe the reporter will visit you tomorrow and take pictures of you. Besides, this interview will be recorded and Random House will contact the TV station. ."

Lisko didn't have any objections, so he agreed.

After hanging up the chattering Rubbo phone, Lisko was in the mood to deal with the sample book. A writer’s sample book is still very meaningful. Generally, the publishers send the writers to special hardcovers. Lisko still remembers an evening party, famous The sample book of "The Lord of the Rings" was auctioned off and looted by the crowd. In the end, it was carried to millions of dollars. For some collectors, these books that can be properly collected and circulated are good investment products.

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

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

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

Lisko was a little stunned when he knew its price. He couldn't imagine that a pen would cost seven hundred thousand dollars.There must be a reason why this pen can be sold so expensive. First of all, its body and cap are made of sandwich carbon fiber materials they researched by themselves, and then use this layer of material to "draw" various patterns. .Moreover, there are sophisticated and delicate watch movements inside.

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

When the 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 lightweight titanium alloy, but also uses 12 rubies.

After Lisko knew its value, he seldom put it out. Only important documents would use it, and he would usually put it in a box.

Lisko used a pen to sign the sample book, first of all the one in his own collection, with today's date written on it, signed the name, and then placed in the bookcase.

The column in the bookcase was empty, with only two books inside, namely "Bloodway" and "Red Diamond".Now it has a new member, "The Catcher in the Rye".

Li Ske looked at the bookcase and thought to himself that it must be full when he is old, and he will look at these books again at that time, it must be very picturesque.

The name of the second bookmark says "For my beloved tutor."

He intends to give this book to his instructor, who often shows love to his youngest disciple.

The third book is written "For the charming Megan Fox". In the past few days, he has changed a lot of Megan's senses. He always felt that he was looking for a domestic woman to marry. Now he is a little shaken, maybe his nationality Not that important.

The fourth book was promised to Ben, "To the literary lover, I hope the text can be with you."

I was the restaurant owner. I got along a few times. Lisko confirmed that he was a die-hard reader. He had a clear memory of all the plots in his book. Lisko had a sense of accomplishment when he saw him. Personality makes people feel comfortable, and he is willing to gradually develop into a good friend.

The latter books were signed in turn and packaged according to their addresses. This was given to his different brothers.

Li Ske's mentor can be said to be highly respected in the American literary world, and the world is full of peach and plum. Among these seniors, there are writers of different types, editors of newspapers, and many high-ranking politicians.

After the packing was completed, he went to the town to mail the packages separately, but he didn't have time to deliver them by 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 guitar and singing. After crossing over, he joined the music lover's club. From the beginning of the stumbling and stumbling technique, he also reached the point where he could play guitar.

In the literary club, writers have hobbies other than their own duties. They can show off at parties and perform in sequence, so most people in the club have learned musical instruments.

Han Han, a young writer in his previous life, not only wrote lyrics, but also made an album himself.Yu Hua, who wrote the famous book "Living", 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, listening to a piece of music and playing an instrument will make you feel awkward.

Lisko took out a cloth and wiped the dust on the guitar. The nameplate ZEMAITIS on it was shining 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 Honduras mahogany that has been naturally dried for 30 years. The master engraver designs the metal pattern.The edging of the piano is very delicate.Be crazy chased and collected by countless professional musicians.

The price of this guitar has also reached 1 million US dollars. It was bought by Lisko at a charity auction. Since Lisko bought this guitar, he has often been contacted by some celebrities in the music industry for buying, of course, he has rejected it.

Lisko adjusted the tuning, posed, stretched out his hand and played, and a leisurely and pleasant voice came out.

While playing, he patted the body of the guitar with his hands,

"The empty street,

Empty house,

Empty heart,

I am so lonely."

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

Li Ske also often performs in the club. His timbre is 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 was very sorry.

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

"Wandering,

On the road,

Are you going,

viavia

Fragile, proud."

This "Ordinary Road" is also a song that Lisko particularly liked in his previous life. When I felt helpless in life, I played and shouted in the house over and over again.

"I have crossed the mountains and the sea, and I have also crossed the sea of ​​people. I once owned everything, and it was like smoke in a blink of an eye."

He often flicked and couldn't help tears, just like the sentence he often saw in videos in his previous life, "I'm so sorry to be born as a human."

Since birth, people have carried the expectations of too many people. Teachers expect you to succeed, parents expect you to have a worry-free life, wife expect you to be rich and wealthy, boss expect you to work hard, children expect you to have little money, we Constantly catering to the views and expectations of the outside world, and slowly changing our perception of the beautiful world. When one day we follow our heart to do what we want to do, we will be blamed by everyone and be called lunatics that shock the world. .
