Big Life

“Can I get you a cup of coffee? ”

“No, I had a drink. It's okay.”

The three of them sat around each other, seated one by one in the room of reconstruction. After a long time of emptying, the reconstruction looks back at his desolate room and speaks first.

“I'll forget about work. I'm not going to say a word. ”

“Ah, yes……. ”

Lots of bells were stabbed, so I had to answer with my head down. I knew it myself. Being rude to the reconstruction of a former anonymous writer was inevitable. I could have done it better, but I didn't.

“You know the terms that you presented to Representative Park the other day, right? I'd like to start there. ”

“That's the thing, Writer. I put a paper book on the base, and it requires a little bit more e-book conditioning…… Yes, it does. Increase the duration of the contract, or grant a small percentage of the settlement. How could you not? ”

Jong-gu was speaking with a cry of tears.

Reconstruction sighed as if it were a burden, even though I knew it wasn't for nothing. Along with that, Jong-gu and Kyung-su were frightened and startled the sheep clowns.

“Here's the deal. ”

I listed every reconstruction I had in mind, as if it had just occurred to me.

“I'll only take 10% of the basic paper bill. I don't need a collateral clause, and I'll only take one percent from 4000 parts per annum. But the two-year contract period and the seven-to-three e-book settlement rate remain the same. ”

The face of Bell Bell Bell was a complex glow. On top of that, he added that reconstruction uses a great toebox.

“That's a lot of concessions. ”

“Oh, I know. Writer... But…"

As a Jong-gu, it was very ambiguous to contract like this.

There was a recession that even professionals could not predict how much paper books would be sold. There is no guarantee that the line of reconstruction will rise as candy. It was his honesty that he wanted to take the precaution as much as possible from the e-book.

Right then.

Reconstruction shows a finger and speaks.

“I'm willing to extend my contract to three years if you give me one personal condition. Or you can compromise the settlement rate by 1. ”

“Personal conditions……? ”

Reconstruction showed three fingers to the halt and ring finger.

“Please deposit KRW 30 million in pre-paid taxes. ”

I tore my mouth open so that I could see belly button.

Nothing has been told about the title of the reconstruction, what fiction will be written, and how many books will be completed. In the meantime, 30 million won in goodwill. The amount was too large.

“Ha, Writer…. ”

For a moment, Kyungsoo stepped out instead of the speechless bell.

“It may be a question of some respect, How many books would you write if you signed with us? ”

“I will go to at least 10 volumes. ”

Kyungsoo nodded while quickly calculating.

Up to 10 copies per volume, the original material is KRW 240 million. To avoid damages, more than 3000 copies must be sold regularly or reconstructed to make the work longer. I wasn't sure I could digest 3,000 copies without being overwhelmed.

‘If you contract like this and lose money...! ’

All that remains is the e-book platform.

If you lose a paper book, you have to fill it into an e-book. However, maritime media entered the e-book market relatively late. I still needed time to make some extra cash for the company.

“Mmmm... ”

Bell bells pressed against the back of my nose, and I thought.

A penniless writer, it was the way Jong-joo had always worked. So he was afraid. I was worried that reconstruction would bring maritime media out for the same reason.

“For up to 10 volumes…… you must write them down no matter what. ”

“I made a promise with my mouth. If you think you need it in the flow of your work, you can do more than that. ”

Jong-gu was a little relieved, but he was still hesitating in the corner of his mind. Reconstruction took out the ringing phone from his pocket and gave it to Bell Bell.

“Would you like to see this? ”

Jong-gu and Kyungsoo's gaze turned to the screen of the reconstruction of the mobile phone. A warm message that had just flown from Somi on Starbooks was filling the screen.

- It's been decided to augment 2,000 copies of the modern world. Maybe even more than 1,000 copies a week. Now 4,000 local copies! 5,000 copies! 9,000 copies in total! We'll let you know as soon as we have some good news. He's having a hard day, too.

“Hmmm…! ”

An unknown cry came from the mouth of Bell Bell Bell. Reconstruction spoke confidently while picking up the phone.

“The value of the writer is rising in time. There may be no more conditions like today. ”

“D, I'll give it to you! ”

I took out my phone with a long face.

“Can I just put in a phone call to Jules? ”

“Do it. Have a cup of coffee and I'll leave you alone for a moment. ”

The reconstruction leaves Jong-gu and Kyung-soo in his room and closes the door. Jae, who was leaning against the boundaries of the kitchen and living room, stretched his back furiously.

“What are you doing? ”

“W-what are you talking about when you came out for water...? Reconstruction, I just heard. 30 million won? Does that make sense? Is your fantasy or no-man 's-land book worth that much money? ”

“I was going to give you 300 for my mom's allowance today, but I got another zero. It's no big deal. ”

I thought about it before I signed the contract. The proceeds of the work that will be contracted with maritime media will be added to the poor household life. Jae-in's excitement is overwhelming.

“Oh, it's no big deal. That money will solve the taxation problem at once.... ”

Reconstruction made me drink coffee without words with a smile on my face.

The hot water in the water purifier melted the coffee powder while smothering the white steam. Reconstruction blew afterwards and drank a relaxing cup of coffee. And before he finished drinking, a goodwill tax of KRW 30 million was deposited into his account.

“I've made the deposit, Writer. ”

A rebuilding nod nodded at the words of Jong-gu from the room.

“I checked. I have an SMS service. Thank you."

Jae-in can't keep her mouth shut. You're really getting a hefty tax of KRW 30 million? His only brother, an anonymous writer?

Jae-in lived without asking her what she was writing. It's because I didn't want to burden my difficult brother. Moreover, when I looked at the criticisms, my sister even hurt herself and didn't search the internet at all. He had no idea that the latest works were spreading in a row.

“Please take good care of me, Writer. ”

In front of the porch, the reconstruction and bellows shook hands.

Working smiles were coming from each other's eyes, not from people's minds.

“Thank you, too. I will hand over up to five manuscripts in a week. ”

Even if you're not my friend, don't be my enemy.

Reconstruction sent Jong-gu and Kyungsoo through the teachings of their father who had lived a long social life. Turning around, he had already devised a plaintiff to hand over to the media.

......

“Sir, aren't you eating? ”

“Have some. I bought a sandwich to eat while reading. ”

The offices of the mobile planning team at Game Company Connection.

Lee Soo-hee gathered together and fixed the long raw hair flowing down to her shoulders. He then began reading a book on his knees, eating a sandwich with one hand.

‘Uhuhuhuhu, it's funny. ’

Su-hee read a fantasy novel titled "The Wizard of Pegelon." It was also a novel by the writer Poongcheon Oil. She had read the entire Joker series and had now begun reading the Wizard of Pesgelon from the first book.

Su-hee knew who the writer is, Poongcheon Yu. Every book ever published has been embedded in her west side, ever since her ruined debut without a sound. Poongcheon oil was the only man who really opened her heart during her 27-year life.

“Ugh...! ”

Su-hee raises her head to the sound of a sudden cry. Hye Mi, the youngest member of the planning team, was returning to her seat with a wet face.

“Hye-mi, what's wrong? Is something wrong? ”

Su-hee patted Hye-mi's back and asked. Hye-mi pulled out a tissue and replied with a wet face.

“Ahhhhh, sir. I'm sorry, but I really can't work with Writer Oh... ”

Su-hee narrowed her eyes.

This is the fourth time that Myung-hoon has caused trouble. It seemed like it was no longer a situation that would be resolved with fine words.

“Oh, where's the writer now? ”
