Big Life

“I probably mentioned it as I was passing by on the phone. I'm doing a whole editorial on Mr. Ha's work. Sit down, Mr. Somi. ”

Somi sits down next to Tae-won. Rebuild said, pulling her cup and following the water.

“You must have suffered a lot to see what you're missing. ”

“What are you talking about? The writing is so fun, it doesn't feel like work. ”

“Thank you for saying that. ”

Somi frowned lightly as if it were unfair.

“I mean it, Writer. Honestly, I haven't really gotten along with the genre yet, but your writing is really well read. ”

Reconstruction grins with a shy smile.

In fact, the compliments of editors to writers are common.

It's more like encouragement to inspire writers who are struggling than compliments.

Reconstruction in the past, when sales were poor, used to spill to one ear even when he heard the good word. However, now that the Moorish Journal has been successfully placed in the marketplace, it feels different. A compliment from an editor named Somi came to my heart.

Each cup was filled to the brim with wine.

Somi's hands cooked the meat.

For a while, everyday small conversations moved back and forth on the table. When he opened the second bottle of soju lid, Tae-won was unlucky.

“Ha, you know, I was talking about the jungle. ”

The reconstruction chews the meat from the well and nods.

The two eyes of the flame are deep in thought. Tae-won didn't bother or add anything, but he waited quietly.

“I'm sorry, I can't stretch it. ”

“Is that so……. ”

“I think it's neat and tidy in 10 books. And of course, as you said, I'd like to increase my revenue, but in the long run, as an reader, that's going to be a little difficult. ”

I was a little disappointed in Tae-won's face.

Somi, who lacked experience with these seats, kept her mouth shut. I was trying to figure out the atmosphere by raising my ears.

“If that's what the writer has decided. Okay, I'm actually excited enough as it is. ”

“Instead……. ”

The reconstruction opens the door with a bottle of wine.

Tae-won opened his eyes wide to say something and reached out his cup with both hands. He poured soju into it and rebuilt the horse.

“I'll sign the next piece right away. ”

“The next contract? ”

Reconstruction turned into a playful tone with a big smile.

“Why do you look so surprised? I thought the editor was the first one to tell me to sign the next contract. ”

“Oh, no. Of course, that would be great. But you must be tired because of the mosquito rock and take a break... ”

The reconstruction shakes its head and cuts the horse off.

“It's all right. We'll pull it when we get our momentum. I'll send you the synopsis by tomorrow. And I'll send you at least five manuscripts in a week. ”

Tae Won almost spilled a drink in his mouth.

“Five books in a week?! Can you do that?”

“There was actually a pre-written stockpile. I think it might. ”

Of course it was a lie.

Reconstruction had not written a single letter. He was just saying that he had the ability to write 10,000 characters per hour.

“The problem is, don't let the editors notice the draft, but I'll try my best. ”

“I believe in your handwriting. Now that you've got it all figured out, I'm sure the next one will be great. ”

Reconstruction returned with a serious look and drank a sip of water.

Now is the time to talk tough.

Now that I have become a so-called "writer to sell," it is time to raise the price of my body.

Tae Won is a human editor who has been a constant patchwork ever since he was an anonymous writer. So the reconstruction was even more difficult to say.

“Haha, what makes you think that? ”

Somi grumbles as the silence continues.

Reconstruction settles and heads are raised. He opened his mouth, not with Tae Won, the editor, but with a mind to speak towards Starbooks as a whole.

“Now I'd like to make a few changes to the terms of the contract. ”

“Oh, yes. Of course, Writer. I can't do it on the same terms anymore. ”

“I'm not going to ask too much of you, because you haven't done too much already. Just give 9% of the income tax from more than 3000 copies and... ”

Tae-won takes out the file from his bag. He took out a contract from there and presented it to the reconstruction.

“Would you like to take a look at this? ”

“…… it's a contract, right? ”

“Ha, I've prepared for the next contract with you. Please have a look at the content. ”

Reconstruction extended the contract, tilting its head. As he turned over the page, his expression was adding to his surprise. It was more favorable than the level that the reconstruction was willing to ask for.

“Editor, is this…?! ”

Reconstruction was impossible to reconcile.

Basically, the ratio of e-book settlement was 6 to 4, adding 1% from 3000 parts to 1000 parts per share to 10% per share.

The contract method of reconstruction is basically a paper book.

Paper books cost money and are also at great risk of damage.

As a publisher, we contract with the e-book market in mind. Therefore, it is difficult to take more than 5 without a dizzy writer. Now it was a fairly dramatic condition for the reconstruction of only one work.

“Editor? Did you make this in advance? ”

“Now I thought of course I should do that. I'm sorry that's all I can do. If this works out, then I'll make sure you boil it somehow and get a higher contract. ”

The reconstruction was overwhelming, nodding only.

I was greatly grateful to the editor-in-chief for taking care of me in advance without saying anything.

“Now that we're done with the important stories, should we focus on eating? ”

“Yes, of course. Have some, and Somi too. ”

“Eat a lot and be strong, too. ”

Three people raised their glasses high and toasted.

As the number of customers increased, everything became more and more noisy everywhere. Despite the commotion, the skull of the rebuilding was rapidly forming.

......

‘No, what is this? ’

HQ Editorial Department of Taeta Media.

Park Kyungsoo was staring at the monitor from his seat.

Filling the screen was the reaction of the owners of the Book Renters Association about the new book "Contemporary Journey" by author Sungcheon Oil published in Starbooks.

When do three men in their 20s come out? It's very fun in their 30s, and three customers in their 40s are always available.

He's a 50-year-old guy who doesn't read fusion from his regulars, and he takes it all. Borrow everything from masterpieces of Poongcheon Oil.

I don't see anything but the greatest rock series among my teenage boys and girls.

- We ran out of first editions, so we haven't brought in the book yet. Sadness.

The bluish light emanating from the monitor made his face feel even paler.

Kyungsoo couldn't believe it.

It was only eight days ago that I visited the reconstruction. In the meantime, the next episode has been published and is showing signs of greater excitement than the beginning.

It was just then.

“Don't you dare! ”

The chief was furious and entered the editorial department.

Kyungsoo got up, trembling.

“Oh, you haven't come to work yet...”

“I haven't seen him since a few hours! Can I be late if I'm the director?! Call him right now and tell him to come out! Send him into my room as soon as he gets here! ”

“Oh, I see. Jules.”

The representative went back screaming.

Kyungsoo settles down as if she were collapsing on her seat. It was horrifying to think how well the chief of staff would be beaten when he missed the great writer.
