Big Life
013/4 - I am generous
Kyungsoo ran to Buria.
Reconstruction stands at the forefront until he reaches the edge of his nose. It was true that his sudden visit was embarrassing and unpleasant.
Say, "Hello… ”
“How did you know? ”
“Yes? Ah... ”
Kyungsoo reads the uncomfortable remarks on the face of the reconstruction and hesitates for a moment. However, I knew that it would not be said in a hurry, so I started discussing the truth quietly.
“The dean told me. Come here... I was looking for the exact location, but this is how the writer came out... ”
The reconstruction was silent and silent. I didn't feel the need to ask how I found out.
This floor is narrow. People who used to work here work there, and people who used to work there. And here and there, everyone knows each other. Chief Ma probably had connections in Starbooks.
The sea media knew that reconstruction would be unpleasant, but they found the address and placed the river where they came to find it. Reconstruction was calmly arranging the appropriate answers in his mind.
“Writer, if you want to go out with me before dinner... ”
“I have an appointment. ”
“Ah, yes. So you're going to stand there and say... ”
“No, I'll tell you briefly right here. These are the terms and conditions I want. ”
“System, terms and conditions? ”
I felt a frightened look on Kyungsoo's face.
It was the first time I had seen such a firm and confident attitude reconstruction. The past has not been rebuilt. As a writer and editor, the realm was different, but he was helpless enough to feel the same way about himself.
The reconstruction folds its hands one finger at a time and speaks.
“11% tax, an additional 1% from 3000 units of sales, an additional 1% from 4000 units, an additional 1% from 5000 units, a 2-year publication term, and an e-book settlement ratio of 7 to 3 units. Of course it's me, 7. Please tell Director Ma. ”
“Ha, Writer Ha?! This is a bit...! ”
Kyungsoo's face is pale and unable to connect the words. The terms of the rebuilding were acceptable to any A-class noncooperative author.
“I'm busy, I'm sure you heard me correctly. I'll go first. ”
“Here you go, Writer. Wait a minute, Writer. ”
“Don't follow me! ”
When the reconstruction turns to a furious face, Kyungsoo stands frozen on the spot, not chasing after him.
“Don't follow me, and don't come home without my consent. There was no contract at all. And text me the answer by the end of the day. ”
Reconstruction speaks like a nail, and then turns around. Kyungsoo was forced to look at the rear view of the reconstruction that was moving away, raising his small body with a surprised breath.
‘… I'm sorry. Kyoungsoo.’
Reconstruction did not make me comfortable. But I had no choice. As long as Kyungsoo was an employee of maritime media, he had no choice but to cut it off like this.
When the reconstruction will be completely invisible to the corners.
Kyungsoo woke up late and took her cell phone and called her boss. The user answers the phone before the tone rings.
Are we done here?
“Yes, sir. He said he'd sign the contract if he did what he wanted. ”
- What do you want?
Kyungsoo listed the conditions proposed by the reconstruction. The user breathes heavily from the other side of the machine.
- Oh, my God, you're debuting and you're making your first 1000 copies. What makes you think I'm in the ranks of a disgruntled, unsupervised writer, some kind of mercenary? Aren't you out of your mind because you suck at being popular around here?!
Kyungsoo dropped her phone from her ear and frowned. Waiting for the castle to settle down, he grumbles.
“What do we do now, sir? ”
- What are you gonna do?
“Hah, you asked me to answer you later today. Do we have a deal? ”
- Deputy Park, are you crazy? Don't talk nonsense. My husband goes to see a werewolf writer. Put that son of a bitch down.
Knuckles!
The phone was hung up terribly.
Kyungsoo sighs, looking down at the ground. The three meetings came as if it were a blur. Is this really the editorial path you've been dreaming about since you were a student?
“Are you sure you want to do this? Jules asked me to buy you something expensive. ”
“I wanted to eat meat. I don't want to go far, and I like it here. ”
Taewon, the editor of Starbooks, sat in a corner of a meat restaurant that he had often met. A woman came up with a slip to take an order.
“What can I get you? ”
“First, I want three people with a hanwoo flower heart. ”
Tae Won chose the most expensive menu, which is close to 30,000 won per serve, without being overwhelmed. Reconstruction surprised me, but I was silent because I always knew that the publisher's entertainment was paid for with corporate cards.
“I'd like to talk to you about something before dinner. ”
Tae-won opened his mouth with a big smile.
“I'm going to augment over 1,000 copies of it. ”
“So... 4,000 copies per book? ”
“Yes, you have about 2.5 million won to think about. And now 250 a month goes in tight. Just a paper book, of course.”
I smiled at the mouth of the reconstruction. I didn't have to hide my honest feelings in front of Tae Won.
Now there is a fixed and solid source of income like other ordinary workers. I will no longer have to shower with cold water while jumping like a crucian carp because of the gas rain. Life changes so quickly.
“If this works, we might be able to augment up to 5,000 copies. ”
“I hope so. ”
“Speaking of which, Mr. Ha, Would you like to use it a little more? ”
Reconstruction did not pick up the cup, but looked at Tae-won.
“You want me to add more mosquito rock? ”
“Yes, I've looked at all 10 books, and I think we can get from eight to 1,000 horses in a fight, and I think we can get from eight to 10 books to 15. Anything more than that would be too much damage to the work. ”
He was not just an editor who took advantage of the publisher.
Make the most of the interest rate on the line that the work is not destroyed. This tendency of his was gaining a lot of love from the writers. The same was true of reconstruction.
“What do you think? If you go to 15 volumes, really, if you keep going up, you might be able to film over 5,000 copies, 6,000 copies. That's a lot of money for you. ”
“But I think I've already completed it neatly.... ”
Reconstruction turns its head to the side, blurring the tip of the horse.
A young woman was walking through the door and into the restaurant.
Small height before and after 5 inches, small body, and a round face with big eyes looked like a puppy. Reconstruction could feel the whole restaurant brightening up.
“Mr. Somi, over here! ”
Tae-won raised his hand and shouted.
The cute woman who saw the reconstruction smiled brightly, putting her shoes in the shoe closet and stepping forward. And standing in front of the reconstruction, other guests bowed at a 90-degree angle, regardless of their health.
“Hello, Haejeon. This is Jung Jung-mi Temple, Starbooks Editorial Department. I was a little late parking. ”
It was a cheerful and clear voice that matched the impression.
The reconstruction lowered his head in a steady posture with Somi's white socks under her shorts gazing. The embroidered cat on the ankle of the sock looks exactly like the one he grew up with. It felt good.
