1440. Friendship at Work
In fact, Lisko is not ignorant of these principles. Even after breaking away from the original state of mind, he even understands these thoughts and all the consequences more clearly than Lu Bo.
But when I fell into that state at that time, I didn't have time to think about these things at all, I just wanted to complete what I thought of.
When he really calmed down, he naturally realized that his behavior was not so safe, and it might even cause far more impact than he imagined. So after being angry and angry at the beginning, the emotions quickly broke away from the previous state. After calming down, the resentment towards Lu Bo was not so great, and he could even understand the other party's behavior to a certain extent. reason.
"Well, I didn't mean to blame you."
Seeing that Lu Bo was still worried about gains and losses and very anxious, Lisko waved his hands helplessly, expressing his true thoughts. He just thought that the two of them seemed to have not seen each other for a long, long time, so I want to keep the other party and have a good chat about everything I have experienced during this time.
Speaking of which, in any industry with assistants and agents, the relationship between the two people has always been relatively harmonious, and to some extent it is even a state of mutual prosperity and mutual loss.
For those film and television stars and celebrities, their agent is the one who knows their existence best, and even looks for more opportunities and opportunities for them. The agent can make them grow slowly from the existence of insignificant little people. For the top stars in the circle, they can also make everything they own disappear in an instant. After all, no one is more aware of their shortcomings than them.
The same is true in the literary industry. Although writing and the current popularity of a writer are achieved by the writer's works, there is no literary agent to help him make plans, find opportunities, and sell various copyrights. Relying on the writer's own strength is very difficult to achieve such heights. After all, not everyone is so omnipotent. No matter how capable a writer is, no matter how outstanding his talent is, in the face of such commercial behaviors and methods, they It is also very helpless and completely powerless.
Therefore, the relationship between the agent and the writer is very close. It can even be said that because they are a collective of interests, they always adhere to the same pace and camp on certain things.
The same is true for Lisko and Lubo at the beginning, and even their relationship is far closer than that between many writers and agents.
Because Lu Bo had just stepped into this business, although he had similar experiences before, his professional skills and resources to help writers were very scarce, and his own network resources were not so rich. Let him be directly rejected by many writers as an agent's request.
The difficulties encountered by just entering any industry are almost more difficult than those of many people who have tried their best in this profession, and the difficulties and obstacles encountered by Lu Bo at that time were exactly the same. On the one hand, the group of writers did not Trust in his own ability, and on the other hand, it becomes extremely difficult when he does not have the resources of an outstanding writer. Even when he goes to the publishing house, the other party hears that he does not have any writer resources at hand, He also rejected his request to see him without hesitation.
If he continues to maintain this state, his path in this career may be completely cut off, and the more difficult it is, the harder it is to open the situation.
Facing the situation he encountered, Lu Guo came up with another solution, that is to sign some rising stars who have just entered this industry, rely on these resources to slowly open up the situation, and then through their own continuous efforts Hard work and the outstanding performance of the writer himself have laid a good foundation for himself in this industry bit by bit.
But good writers are not so easy to get, and there are too many editors in this industry who are watching these newcomers emerge. In addition, the other party has more resources than myself, it is difficult Let a newcomer writer trust himself so much that he is willing to sign a corresponding commission contract with him.
When he was in a dilemma, the appearance of Lisko successfully entered his eyes. Compared with the situation when Lu Bo just entered this industry, Lisko had already established his reputation in the industry a long time ago. There are countless literary agents for this resource Liske himself, just because the other party has already started learning from his tutor in high school, and the corresponding literary writing skills have skipped the exam stage and directly entered the Advanced study in the course of the university.
This situation makes many literary agents have no way to communicate with Lisko. In addition, the other party's mentor and personal connections are not something that some of their small literary agents can get on top of. So in the face of this piece of fat, these literary agents can only regretfully wait for opportunities and opportunities.
But Lu Bo is different. He uses his own attitude and various relationships to find a way to talk to Lisko. Rich and superior conditions made Lisko directly sign a cooperative relationship with the other party from the original vacillating attitude.
In order to win Lisko, the top resource, Lu Bo put in a lot of effort, and even made a corresponding recognition in terms of cooperation, and even decided that he would only take a negligible 1~5% of all Lisko’s income. , If it is not the resources involved, you can even make a decision not to ask for remuneration. ???
Of course, these profits are not the most impressing Lisko in deciding the possibility of cooperation with the other party. Lisko's own condition is that Lu Bo gave himself a lot of freedom. If he disagrees with any cooperation, he can have a vote The right of veto, this kind of cooperation method, in the minds of many literary agents, it is impossible to achieve it at all.
After the two formally reached a cooperation, and after Lu Bo became Lisko's writer's agent, some situations, relationships, and personal connections began to spread out relatively easily. First, he used his own efforts to continuously bring manuscripts to Some publishing houses seek the cooperation of editors, and even put in a lot of hardships to get a chance to meet.
During that time, the two even ate and lived together. In the process of life, Lu Bo also took care of all Lisko's actions like a big brother. Compared with many partners who were entangled with interests, the two It's more like the pure and sincere friendship created by going through those difficult years together, which can keep the two people together forever.
