Not long ago, Lu Li attended the auction of Sotheby's, partly because he wanted to connect with those top media people and open up his career. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The night was indeed fruitful, but Lu Li did not expect to be able to achieve it overnight, and it was not easy to occupy a place in the media industry. Otherwise, the cooperation between Lu Li and the "New York Observer" would not have been interrupted.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity actually appeared, and it was not a casual opportunity, this was an opportunity from the "New York Times". Undoubtedly, this cooperation is definitely a turning point that can change the career plan of Lu Li's journalists. As for how to turn around and what future to turn around, it will depend on Lu Li's strength and ability.

It's time to see the real thing with hard power.

"Of course, no problem, I'm glad!" Lu Li agreed neatly.

"Great!" Joseph said with a smile, although it must be very easy to say that the "New York Times" is very easy to ask for a manuscript, and it is estimated that no one will refuse, but the whole process is so neat and neat, and Lu Li's demeanor and humility and arrogance are really eye-catching. He loves to deal with such smart people.

"What are the requirements for the content of the column?" Lu Li then asked, "I mean, the focus of the manuscript, the exhibition, the competition, the customs, or what's special?"

No matter what the subject is, Lu Li will write in his own style and interpret different characteristics. But, he always needs to ask to see if Joseph has any inspiration.

"No, there is no request. Joseph is also a cheerful personality, and said with a smile, "Write according to your own ideas, the theme and hot topics are up to you." ”

With such freedom, this is extremely rare for any copywriter. What's more, Lu Li is just an unknown freelance writer, and he has not achieved anything, not even many works. Then, such tolerance is even more commendable, and it can even be said to be incredible.

Lu Li even began to wonder if this was an April Fool's joke.

He took the phone off his cheek and looked at the caller ID, but it was an unfamiliar number. Therefore, he has no way to verify whether the other party is the Joseph of the "New York Times". Although it is recognized from the sound, it is indeed quite similar.

So, this is a liar?

"However, every manuscript requires a topic, I will review it on your blog, if you are satisfied, then reprint, if you are not satisfied......" Joseph's words followed, and Lu Li gently closed his jaw. This is normal.

Although Joseph did not continue to say the following words, the meaning could not be clearer.

Lu Li is a helpless little writer, and once the quality of the manuscript does not meet the requirements, the "New York Times" rejects his manuscript, and there is no need to notify him at all; what is more, if the "New York Times" bans him, it will be effortless at all, and he will not be able to escape so easily, and it is estimated that he will have to put away his dream of being a journalist in the future.

Therefore, this is the real hard power decisive victory.

"Fourteen, what I need is your interpretation of different cultures, and if there is such content, it would be great. Otherwise, I can just find anyone to write about. Joseph went on to say that he was a bold type that he continued to do so today.

"I believe in you. Lu Li replied frankly, and the joking words made Joseph uncontrollable.

The reason why Joseph chose Lu Li was to win by surprise. If the "New York Times" wanted to find a partner, they could find countless writers who had been famous for a long time, but in the end they chose Lu Li, in the final analysis, because of Lu Li's unique perspective and cultural heritage.

This is also the reason why Joseph is so tolerant, after killing Lu Li's characteristics, then he is not worth cooperating.

"What about the delivery time?" Lu Li asked further.

"It's best to be able to hand in one before twelve o'clock tonight, and then one every day, but not at the expense of quality for the sake of quantity. So, it depends on how fast you write. Joseph's simple words reveal a lot of information.

Once the collaboration begins, they naturally have requirements for the quantity and quality of the manuscript. So, by twelve o'clock tonight, they have a hard requirement. However, the overall rhythm still gave Lu Li enough relaxation and did not limit the final deadline.

It can be guessed that Lu Li is definitely not the only contributor to the Cowboy Conference, and the "New York Times" must be based on the quality and theme of the article. This also means that Lu Li not only needs to face the review of the editor-in-chief, but also faces competition from his peers, which is not a casual small newspaper, and the degree of accumulation of competition is unimaginable.

Lu Li couldn't help but think of Alice, in the competition of the "New York Post" before, she still failed to stand out with absolute strength after all. Now, the New York Times is even better.

However, Lu Li didn't feel nervous or scared at all, but began to get excited. After four years of college, after graduation, he has always dreamed of such an opportunity to compete, an opportunity to show himself, and now that it has finally appeared, how could he hold back?

"You can publish it on your own blog. I will read it as soon as possible, and then we will contact you if there is any situation. Joseph came to the final conclusion.

On the whole, it is still up to Lu Li to write at his own pace and habits, but the "New York Times" will always pay attention to it, and there is still a chance to appear on the latter's official website, which naturally has a completely different meaning.

"No problem!" Lu Li said affirmatively, his eyes fell on the computer screen in front of him, he felt that the wine culture might not be so appropriate, but it was indeed a different interpretation of the Rodeo Conference. Perhaps, he could take a look at the competition grounds this afternoon and get an insight into the attitude of the tourists towards beer.

"Then I'll see. Joseph said with a smile.

Lu Li let out a long breath and relieved his excitement, "Cowboy Conference, don't you plan to come and see it in person? A field trip in person has a unique flavor. ”

"I'm five kilometers from the small town of Bandera. Joseph's answer made Lu Li stunned, he was just joking-

The Stampede is the biggest event of the year in Texas, but for New Yorkers, it's not worth mentioning. When he was in New York, he had only heard about it, and he had never really paid attention to it.

Not to mention the "New York Times", even the "New York Observer" is just a routine report, and does not write a series of columns at all. The same is true for this year's New York Times, which will only be published on the site, enriching the content of the various sections of the site.

But now, Joseph actually came over in person?

Lu Li's brows couldn't help frowning, "You're a liar, right?"

This response caused Joseph to laugh heartily, "If you don't believe me, you can come over and confirm it yourself." ”

Lu Li's brows furrowed slightly, but he still didn't believe it, all this was really too strange. First I asked him for a manuscript, and then I arrived in Texas in person? So what's next? Is it to come to Cloud Peak Ranch as a guest?

Joseph had just mentioned it in passing, but now he thought it was a good idea, "Are you free today? If you can, we can meet in the small town of Bandera for lunch, and then you can take us to have a good experience of the rodeo and watch the game." It's the final today, right? What kind of final?"

"Obstacle course. Lu Li replied reflexively. Obstacle courses are the most difficult and dangerous of all horse racing, and of course, they are very interesting to watch.

"I don't know, do we have the honor to invite you to be our guide?" Joseph was a daring thinker, and directly issued an invitation.

Lu Li paused for a moment, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, whether he was a liar or not, he would know after meeting. What's more, the editor-in-chief of the New York Times came to the cowboys, and he was half a landlord who needed to show the simplicity and purity of the Texans - and the hospitality of the Chinese.

"Of course there is no problem. Lu Li nodded and agreed, made an appointment with the time and place, and then hung up the phone.

Putting the phone next to him, Lu Li looked at the two little guys at his feet, they still stood up vigilantly, constantly wagging their tails, Lu Li showed a big smile, "Guys, it seems that the time to rest is over." ”

Originally, I didn't want to go to the cowboy convention, but now it's a different story. Even if it wasn't to entertain Joseph, for the sake of the blog's manuscript, he should go on a field trip and see if there was anything worth writing about today's finals.

Teddy seemed to understand Lu Li's words at once, raised his head, licked Lu Li's palm, and seemed to express comfort, which made Lu Li laugh dumbly, "Old man, this is a good thing." It's a good thing. Then he pursed the corners of his lips and shrugged, "At least, I'm looking forward to turning it into a good thing, haha." ”

Hulk slowed down two beats, followed Teddy, and then tried to lick Lu Li's palm as well. But...... Out of reach, the huge difference in height made Hulk start jumping up, like a grapefruit that likes to flutter butterflies.

Seeing Hulk's appearance, Lu Li laughed heartily, stretched out his hand, and touched Hulk's head, but the little guy began to circle around Lu Li's palm, and couldn't stop at all.

If it weren't for the appointment, Lu Li would have been able to play with them here slowly.

About forty minutes later, Lu Li appeared at the entrance of the cowboy convention, there was a sea of people who could not see the side, as if even the air was boiling, the parking position had extended to a mile away, and even volunteers who provided mobile horse services appeared, which was really full of Texas style.

Lu Li dialed Joseph's phone, and the two of them communicated, guiding each other in the crowd, and then from a distance, Lu Li saw the comer.

It's really Joseph Keynes!
