“How are you?”
“Well, that's a good thing. ”
As Somi expected, the reconstruction was positive.
Any genre writer would hate to be made into cartoons.
I didn't think there would be any reconstruction.
Even if the service provider was Comic KT, there was no reason to hesitate.
“But I know very little about Webtoons. Revenue sharing or something. ”
“I don't know yet because I don't have enough experience.... ”
Somi opened her eyes and explained at the end.
“If there's a webtoon from Comic-KT to your novel, it's a copyright contract for your novel. Comic KT will pay you to get a painter, a Continental Writer, and you will get a diversion. You know, it's kind of hard to webtune a novel as it is. ”
“Of course.”
“The editor said it would be 10 percent before and after. 10 percent of the revenue per webtoon. That's where Starbooks and Ha will divide it up into five-to-five pieces, because it's a second creation. ”
“Hmm, yes. ”
Reconstruction was reminiscent of provisions common to the contracts he signed.
The terms of the comic book, the drama, and the second creation were written in all contracts.
So far, reconstruction has lived without much interest in the provision of second creation. I have always considered my writing to be recreated in a different medium to be an unrealistic dream.
‘The modern Journal is made of cartoons...' ’
My own video that I had drawn on my head the whole time I was writing was reviving at this moment. Somi's words were still unrealistic reconstruction.
“The profit from Comic KT won't be that big. It's 50,000 won for the writer, just assuming that the profit is 1 million won. ”
“Yes, of course. ”
“But when Webtoons get excited, novels get excited, too. All the top three episodes of Starbooks. The editor said that after the paperwork is finished, the e-book will be released, and if you send out webtoons just in time, the synergy will be great. ”
A smile spread over the mouth of the reconstruction.
Tae-won's expression seemed to be drawn in front of his eyes, explaining it in a gentle tone without losing his caution. I could always trust what he said.
“I'll take good care of it. ”
Reconstruction has made its decision without further concern.
“I want to get into the good writer and make it fun. ”
“That's the way it has to be. Don't worry, I'll see if I like the painting. And I'll send it to the writer as soon as I get a candidate. ”
“Thank you.”
The food I ordered came out and the two of them began to eat in earnest.
Reconstruction enjoyed a meal while talking with Somi. I was relieved because I thought I was done talking about work.
“Hey, Writer Ha. ”
By the time the meal is almost over.
Somi lost her luck pouring water into the reconstruction cup.
“Do you have any writing these days? ”
“No, I'm taking a break nowadays. ”
“Then... are you sure you don't want to t-start?" ”
Looking at Somi, who was very difficult to talk to, the reconstruction was thinking, ’So it is.’
I can't help thinking about it.
After finishing the Journal of Extinction, Starbooks, of course, was in the first place. The conversation was only a little slow because Somi brought up the story about the webtoon first.
“I'm sorry, I can't think of anything right now. It has no particular material in mind. ”
“It must be hard. We can't rush it, then. Okay, I'll be waiting for you, Writer. ”
Somi walks away without saying anything more.
Reconstruction was fortunate that the story ended briefly, but at the same time I felt a strange doubt. Somi, whom he knew, was a type who worked for the interests of the company without losing his body.
But you gave up so quickly.
At least I thought I'd ask you a few more questions.
‘Was it really because I thought it would be hard for me? ’
While drinking from the crystal fruit from dessert after the meal, the reconstruction was relaxing. I didn't read any thoughts on Somi's face.
“Thank you, Mr. Somi. ”
“I ate well because of you. Thank you, Writer. ”
The two of them left the restaurant and stood on a sidewalk full of leaves.
It's been a relatively quiet day lately. The sun was also warm and the best weather to go somewhere.
“You're going back to work now? ”
“No, let's go to Comic KT. ”
“Now?”
“Yes, I've heard from the writer. We should move immediately. That's how I got out. ”
Somi puts her hands behind her back, smiling and answering.
One foot in sneakers was hurling a pile of leaves across the sidewalk without any work.
Reconstruction suddenly recalled Somi's sneakers being peeled during the writers' meeting and laughed deeply.
“Why are you smiling all of a sudden? ”
“It's nothing. ”
“You must be curious. Even at the writers' meeting before, um.... ”
Somi smiles shyly and blurs her words. It reminded me of the fact that the reconstructed sneakers were taken off. It was not the same at the time, but it was still an embarrassing memory.
“Where is Comic KT? ”
“Samsung.”
“There's a little distance. ”
“I'll be there in half an hour on the subway. ”
The conversation was interrupted for a moment.
The two of them stood facing each other from another place. But I was thinking the same thing with my head.
Let's say I'm coming with you. ’
"Would you like it if I asked you to come with me? ’
It's a Starbooks vs. Comic KT deal, so you don't have to go.
But rebuilding is the author of the modern Journal of Webtoons. It is not uncommon to want to see the details of the contract or to accompany them for reasons that make you curious about the progress.
‘No, this is not it. ’
Reconstruction concluded before Somi.
I felt like spending more time with Somi because the weather was nice for a little while. But when I thought about it, I was also reluctant.
Somi isn't out to play, she's working. I didn't want to bother her unless I had to go.
“Then come with me to the subway station. ”
“Yes……. ”
Somi followed the rebuilding while pressing her regrettable heart.
The two of them walked slowly towards the station along the yellow bitten sidewalk with leaves.
Somi steps back and forth, avoiding the scales on the news block.
“Are you going straight to your house? ”
“I'm going to stop by the bookstore. ”
Reconstruction replied.
I was going to visit the bookstore on my way back from meeting Somi in the first place. I was busy writing for a while, so I could barely read other writers' articles.
As a writer, you have to read a lot of good stuff to write good stuff.
My daily life became more relaxed, so I was going to try to read it at this time.
“Well, be careful and go in. ”
“Somi, too. ”
The two of them turned against each other and took a picture of the transportation card in their own door.
Just before going down the stairs, the reconstruction looked back. Just in time, Somi was looking around from beyond the gateway.
Their gaze crossed the crowd.
Reconstruction smiles first and raises its hand. Somi bows at a 90-degree angle to reconstruct again and slowly hides his tracks down the stairs.
‘Yeah, I gotta get to work. ’
I loaded myself onto the subway and reconstructed my mind. After meeting Somi, who was working hard, he stood up.
‘Let's read some books today. If you read it, you'll think of it as a lie. ’
Through a karaoke helper named Dazle, the process of using gale fury was only unexpected from beginning to end.
Inspiration always comes to the unexpected.
The whole time the subway was running to the destination, the reconstruction had been chewing on it.
About 20 minutes later, the rebuilding took off from the subway. His steps lead to a department store connected to the station.
‘There's a lot of people. ’
It was a large bookstore that used a whole floor within a department store.
Despite weekday mid-day hours, the bookstore was busy with quite a lot of guests.
Reconstruction moves toward a new corner near the entrance.
Among the myriad of books, a single book immediately appeared in the eyes of reconstruction.
She was a stupid woman.
It was also surrounded by the prestigious belt 'Best Award Winner Digital Arts'.
Reconstruction stayed in one place for about a half hour, looking through the books in the new corner. And I looked at the trends of people reading next to me.
There were less than 10 people who picked up a stupid woman. Most of the time, I turned over a few pages and put them back down. No one bought it
‘I guess it's hard to pay the bills. ’
I smiled bitterly at the mouth of the reconstruction.
The best prize of KRW 20 million is also a goodwill tax. Books must be sold for an additional 20 million won.
If you count 1,000 won per ticket, it's 20,000 copies.
Paper sales are on the floor.
In a situation like this, there was no dream of rebuilding that a stupid woman would sell more than 20,000 copies.
He was now relatively clear about his position as a writer.
‘Let's start stacking up my food. ’
Reconstruction took Seo Gun Woo's horn rims from his arms and put them on his face. The equipment I brought to speed you through.
With these glasses, no matter how slow you are, you can read more than 15 volumes in an hour.
“Oh, this is so much fun. ”
It was past the corner of fantasy and unspoken novels.
A conversation between two men who looked like college students dug into the ears of the reconstruction.
The two eyes of the reconstruction turned around. A man joins a horse with one of Pegelon's Mages in both hands.
“The masterpiece was the Wizard of Pegelon, and it's a real piece of work. After reading it, I couldn't read anything else because of the sequelae for a while. Isn't he the writer? ”
“You know, it's full oil. Didn't you see the Joker series? ”
“Jolly good. Finished it right away. Man, I'd love to take a look at this, but it's wrapped. I just have to buy it. I'll trust you, Poongcheon Oil. ”
The man pulled out all the copies of the wizard of Pegelon and headed for the market.
Reconstruction has stood there for a while and hasn't moved.
Good volume has been estimated only by the words of the publisher's employees and the rate that comes into the account. The opportunity to see readers' reactions directly was rare.
I was so grateful to the man who said his work was interesting.
Reconstruction headed for the corner of the genre novel with its overwhelming breasts in its arms.
* * *
“Hmm, that's funny. This is what romance tastes like. ”
“Gah, is this the culprit? How about a head start?”
“Has this writer ever been this hard-boiled? Something blurry. Violent, but lacking catharsis. ”
“Awkward, awkward. Why isn't this writer getting more and more interesting? ”
I've been in the bookstore for two hours.
The hand of reconstruction over the bookshelf was so invisible.
Reconstruction was the place where people were leaning into a corner and handing over the page without rest. Occasionally, those who passed by looked at the reconstruction with a peculiar look.
‘All right, this line is over. Next stop. ’
Reconstruction was reading a book in a terrifying fashion.
It wasn't just turning over the page.
Thanks to Seo Gun Woo's glasses, I was just reading at the same speed as light.
The average annual reading volume of the reconstruction was 150 books before and after. Even though I read 3-4 volumes a week all the time, I only read 150 volumes.
However, I had already read more than 50 books for two hours at the bookstore.
Many reading volumes are a powerful weapon for writers.
Reconstruction in the corner of a large bookstore was definitely growing as a writer at this moment.
* * *
"Is he still like that? ’
A woman who was circling a nearby bookstore narrowed her eyes toward reconstruction.
He was just a strange customer, not to be missed.
I took the book out, handed it over, put it back in, took another book out, handed it over, another book...... It's been two hours of the same behavior.
Is there a particular book you're looking for? ’
For a moment, the hand of reconstruction over the book was accelerating.
The woman stood next to the reconstruction pretending to organize the book of the West. Looking at his face, I can see his eyes widening beyond his glasses. The two clear eyes were shooting from side to side from the open book.
‘No way...? ’
The woman opened her mouth because she couldn't believe it.
‘…… are you reading it now? ’
Just in time.
Yikes!
“Ugh!"
As the book is torn, the rebuild vomits.
It was a side effect because he couldn't control his hands that were speeding up without knowing it.
The rebuilding head only found the woman standing next to him and spoke frantically.
“Sorry, I tore it by mistake. I'll buy this book. ”
“Ah, yes……. Hmm...? ”
The day after, the woman's face became blank. He seemed familiar with the face of reconstruction from the front.
“Excuse me... Excuse me..."
“Yes?”
“Aren't you... a Haejeong writer? ”
