Lisco's American Life

2260 Decisions and thoughts

The method of the other party is relatively unfamiliar and rare in the literary world, because everyone is inclined to benefit, and friendship is friendship. A place like a publishing house is unlikely to have too much or too much direct contact with the writer himself.

Too cumbersome contact. The emergence of agents is to solve these unnecessary external interruptions for writers, so that writers can devote themselves wholeheartedly to the creative process.

It is precisely because of this that Lisko was quite surprised by the invitation from the other party. However, he did not deal with the matter in time. Instead, he immediately chose to pick up the phone and talk to his agent Luber on the phone.

Make contact to understand the specific content and reasons of the matter, and then decide what attitude to use to deal with the matter.

In addition, the cooperation between myself and Random Books has always been relatively smooth. Since my debut, I have been highly respected and praised by the other party. Every time I publish a new book, I will give myself a very preferential price, and the profit sharing will also vary from year to year.

I have continued to increase my work, and there has never been any default or delay in payment of royalties. The most important thing is that I have given myself a lot of freedom in terms of creation and will not interfere or guide too much.

At the same time, in order to build up his fame and appeal, he has publicized quite a few literary awards to help him prepare for or win these awards, making himself more and more famous and appealing in the industry, and enabling him to reach his current position.

, it is inseparable from the other party's support all the time. No matter what the issue is, I still hope that there will not be any conflicts or misunderstandings between the two parties, which will have a certain impact on the subsequent cooperative relationship.

After finishing the reminiscing with Rube, he also understood the whole reason of the matter. After learning the truth of the matter, Lisko seemed a little embarrassed, and even felt a little embarrassed. He didn't know what kind of attitude to adopt.

Come face the emergence and occurrence of this matter.

The origin of the matter is very simple. Originally, Lisko has maintained a high speed of development in recent years, and has auditions for one or two works almost every year. Although he has not seemed so anxious in recent years, with the previous work "Gone with the Wind", it is also

It shows that a lot of effort has indeed been put into it.

However, with the launch of Gone with the Wind, Lisko's literary career seemed to be temporarily suspended. For a long time, there was no news or appearance of any new works, which made Random House think that Lisko had retired.

, which caused the continuously rising market value to continue to suffer losses. Even the editor who was originally responsible for communicating and publishing Lisko's works was jointly and severally held responsible, and was considered by the board of directors to be not so diligent in his work.

In fact, the reason is because Lisko has now achieved his goal of becoming famous, and his investments in other areas are also in full swing. After having children, he seems to have become much lazier, and his literary skills are not as good as before.

I was so enthusiastic that I even started to enjoy this kind of life without any pressure in life.

During this period, Random House's performance began to plummet. Coupled with the fact that the national book market has also encountered some shadows, the original prosperity has gradually become bleak, and even the annual report once showed signs of loss.

This is actually not very good news for the entire publishing house.

It was in this environment that Random House spent a lot of money to invite writers who had achieved good sales results in their publishing houses to publish books frequently during this period, hoping to use the fame of the writers to improve their accounts.

Be more gorgeous and give investors more confidence to save this increasingly decadent trend.

Of course, Lisko was also among the top invitees from the other publishing house. When the relevant personnel of the publishing house contacted Lupert, Lupert had always held the idea of ​​rejecting the other party's invitation, because on the one hand, he was

The New Media Group has gradually entered the publishing field, and hopes that Liske can put the published works in his own company for operation. On the other hand, it is also because Liske really has no creative mood during this period.

Even these invitations were not sent to Lisko at all, and they were rejected accordingly by Rubeus. Faced with this continuous rejection, Random House seemed a little at a loss, so after careful consideration, it was decided to

Bypassing the insurmountable obstacle of the agent, he directly contacted the writer himself, hoping to get a helping hand from Lisko and receive corresponding support in the publishing house's more difficult moments.

The main reason why Li Ke felt embarrassed was because he had indeed taken advantage of Uncle Lan Dong. Except when he was not so satisfied with the share of the original work, once he saw that his work was recognized by the market,

, and then immediately improved his status in the other party's mind. He has given himself quite favorable conditions many times in a row. Although he has indeed brought great benefits to the other party, without the help of the other party, he will be in trouble.

The development of literature will not be so smooth, nor will it achieve so many achievements in a short period of time.

When receiving the favor of the other party, when the other party encounters difficulties, he does not stand up to help immediately. This in itself is not in line with his own moral philosophy, and it makes him feel a little embarrassed. The most important thing is that he is on his own side.

Enjoying the other party's relatively wide channels, while quietly developing its own publishing house in private, the business itself is eating from the bowl and watching the pot, although in the eyes of capitalists, any means of obtaining profits is not sinful.

, but for myself who has a bottom line, this is indeed not a better behavior.

It is precisely because of this that Lisko seemed to have some distracting thoughts when he saw this email. However, after careful consideration, he felt that it is better to do things in a back-and-forth manner. Even if he wanted to talk to Uncle Rand

Breaking up also needs to be done in a suitable place, with the satisfaction and approval of both parties, and to completely end the cooperation process, rather than like now, which would seem to add insult to injury.

When you reach your current level and status, you may no longer care so much about wealth, but you may care more about your own feathers. Sometimes fame and everyone's perception of you are also a major reliance on your survival in this society.

, and he didn’t really want to bear the reputation of adding insult to injury and being unjust for profit.

After careful consideration, I decided to accept the other party's invitation and start a new book to save the current trend. After the book was completely released, I took advantage of the other party's recovery time to break up with the other party. In this way

It can be regarded as a beginning and an end, and both parties owe each other nothing.
