MTL - Lisko’s American Life-Chapter 12 Guitar

Lisko was a little ashamed to see these exaggerated propaganda.

On the phone, Lubo was still nagging, "You don't want to publicize, the publisher is very dissatisfied, but your first two books did very well, and they didn't say anything this time. The release date is this Sunday, and Langdon has already The propaganda posters have been prepared and posted in major bookstores, and the agreed placement positions are also prime locations."

Lisko listened to Lu Bo's report, "By the way, there is one thing that can't be avoided. Random House has contacted the literary newspaper to visit you. This time it is a text visit. The target audience of this newspaper is literature lovers. Your sales have played a big role in boosting sales. This time you can’t shirk it. Maybe tomorrow the reporter will visit you and take pictures of you. Also, this interview will be recorded and Random House will contact the TV station to broadcast it. ."

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

After hanging up the chattering of Lu Bo, Lisko was in the mood to deal with the sample book. A writer's sample book is still very meaningful. Generally, publishers send writers in hardcover and specially made. Lisko still remembers a party where the famous The sample book of his fantasy masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings" was auctioned, looted by everyone, and finally carried to one million dollars. For some collectors, these books that can be properly collected and circulated are good investment items.

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 sent among scholars. Or send something for writing, so that it is 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 were produced.

The 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 pen would cost $700,000. There must be a reason why this pen is so expensive. First of all, its pen body and cap are made of interlayer carbon fiber material that they have developed by themselves, and then use this layer of material to "draw" various patterns. . Moreover, there is a precise and fine watch movement inside.

When the button is pressed, the movement in the pen will run, slowly pushing out its own nib. Of course, this nib is also very classy, ​​because it is made of 18k white gold. It can be said that it has a full mechanical sense and a 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, and also uses 12 rubies.

After Lisko knew its value, he seldom put it out. Only the documents that he attached great importance to would use it, and he usually put it in a box.

Lisko signed the sample book with a pen. First, it was one of his own collections. He wrote today's date on it, signed his name, and put it in the bookcase.

This column in the bookcase was empty, with 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 and thought to himself, when he grows old, it must be full, and when he looks at these books again, it must be very picturesque.

The second bookmark was named, and it said, "To my beloved mentor."

He intends to give this book to his mentor, who always cares for his youngest disciple.

The third book is written "For the charming Megan Fox". In the past few days, his sense of Megan has changed a lot. He used to think that he was looking for a domestic woman to marry, but now he is a little shaken, maybe his nationality Not so important.

The fourth book was promised to Ben, "For literature lovers, I hope words can always be with you."

This is the owner of the restaurant. After getting along a few times, Lisko confirmed that he was a die-hard reader. He had a clear memory of all the plots and excerpts in his book. Lisko felt a sense of accomplishment slowly when he saw him, and also felt that he His personality makes people feel comfortable in everything, and he is willing to slowly develop into a good friend.

The following books were signed in turn and packed according to the address, which were given to his different senior brothers.

Lisko's mentors can be said to be highly respected in the American literary world, and they are all over the world. Among these brothers are writers of different types, editor-in-chief of newspapers, and many high-ranking politicians.

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

Back at the ranch, Lisko was a little bored, and just saw the guitar hanging on the wall, he remembered that he bought this guitar when he was in New York.

In his previous life, Lisko was working as an editor, and occasionally had some small hobbies, such as playing the guitar and singing. After crossing over, he joined the music lovers club. From the beginning, his skills were stumbling, and he was able to play the guitar.

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

Hanhan, a young writer in the previous life, not only wrote lyrics, but also produced albums by himself. Yu Hua, who wrote the famous book "Alive", 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 a musical instrument, you may be in a hurry.

Lisko took out a cloth and wiped the dust off the guitar. The nameplate ZEMAITIS on it shone brightly in the sun. This guitar is a famous brand among guitars and is known as "the most dazzling diamond in the crown of the guitar kingdom". Thirty years of naturally-dried Honduran mahogany is used for the body of this guitar, with a metal plate pattern designed by a master carver. The edging of the piano is very delicate. 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 to ask for it, but of course he has rejected it.

Lisko adjusted the tuning, UU reading www.uukanshu.com took a good posture, stretched out his hand and played, and a leisurely and pleasant voice flowed out.

As he played, he tapped the body of the guitar with his hand,

"The empty streets,

empty house,

an empty heart,

I am so lonely. "

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

Lisko also often performs in clubs. 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, Lubo was very sorry.

After playing an English song, he cleared his throat and the music started 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 he often felt helpless in life, he played and shouted over and over in the room by himself.

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

Tears came down when he often played, just like a sentence he often saw on videos in his previous life, "I'm born to be human, I'm sorry."

From the moment of birth, people have carried the expectations of too many people. Teachers expect you to be successful, parents expect you to live a carefree life, your wife expects you to be rich and noble, your boss expects you to work hard, and your children expect you to be wealthy. 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 obey our heart and do what we want to do, we will be accused by everyone and called a shocking lunatic. .
