Big Life

20 - Fear not (1)

“You met me once when you were in the library of our TV show writers? It's been a long time since I've seen you. I think you've gotten a lot more bloodied than you did then. Is it the mood?”

The female facilitator's comet in bright two-piece outfit took her eyes off the script and looked at the reconstruction. The rebuilding on the bench side by side opens its mouth, smiling calmly.

“I hear very well that I'm getting better from the writers around me these days. It used to be very dry. I'm actually starting to get healthcare that I didn't do, and I think that's what this is about. ”

It was the site of an EBC program called Literature Walk.

The recording was taking place in the park in front of the broadcast center, not in the studio. Reconstruction of a blue slax on a white silk shirt was being recorded in a comfortable posture with both arms crossed. The green grass that was thick behind my back fell into the spring wind.

“Relaxing if you will, very. ”

“Yes, money and honor are good. I don't think he was that intrigued when he came out of the writer's study. ”

The staff outside the angle looks jealous. Reconstruction was different for those who had come across many writers.

It was a phenomenal growth with few comparable authors. The salary has now risen so much that I have to be prepared for the basic purpose of seeking a consultation.

“The best-selling home run of two works in a row.... How much money do you think you made? ”

A staff mutters, shaking their heads.

The two novels of reconstruction were not enough to become the best seller, but were also made into movies.

Despite the work of the new director, "There was an ocean," he achieved remarkable results of 8.2 million people.

Soon, at the end of May, there will be a target of white music arts.

At least two awards have been confirmed, but articles have already flowed through the media.

“Huh? Sung-kyu. You made a lot of money, didn't you? The money, the bills, the scenarios...... How much do they make a month? ”

“How do I know that? And you're a genre writer. The real money would be swept away from you with a rake. ”

It was not just exaggerated by Staff's claim to sweep the money with a rake. It is true that commercial achievement is never inferior to wind and reconstruction.

A growing e-book market.

This situation literally gave wings to Yooncheon oil.

His genre novels, led by The Bress and Oscar's Dungeon, were being sold online and offline in a terrifying way throughout the day.

“You're making games in Connection. If this blows up, it'll be real fun. I heard they're going to China and Taiwan. ”

“Yeah, well, I'm excited. I'll see what I can do. Yikes, stop talking. PD is coming.”

The staff stops chatting after watching the PD from afar.

The comet and reconstruction in the angle were continuing the conversation in a joyful tone.

“…… I mentioned the situation when you appeared in the author's library once again. At the time, Hareconstructor had a million copies of summer sales at the age of 20. In the aftermath of the recession, I asked you if you had any remarkable grades. Do you remember? ”

“Of course, I answered with the intention that I felt the power of Korean mystery readers. ”

“Yes, that's right. By the way, now that summer is 20 years old, we're approaching over 1.9 million copies of sales, almost two million copies. There was a sea that came out after that, and it also recorded 1.5 million copies. ”

After talking this far, I opened my mouth as if the comet had stopped speaking and was astonished.

Reconstruction only smiled beautifully with downward gaze.

“I'd like to borrow this seat and ask you a personal question. Mr. Haejeon, did you honestly expect to be so popular? ”

“I really didn't expect that. Every time I spoke to my editor, I would listen to the sales numbers until that day, and even I was shocked to hear them. What do you mean by that? It's already sold like this? It felt like this.”

The comet nods and hands over the script.

One day, the last chapter was almost ready.

“Now it's time to tell the story of entering the American market, where there was a sea of novels. We're out of 50,000 copies for the first edition, and we've augmented 50,000 copies? ”

“Haha, yes. ”

“It's a pretty good start, compared to the grades of local writers who had been in the United States before. The leading daily newspaper in the United States, The New York Times, also gave a North American review. What do you think?”

“Actually, I was very worried. There's never a small proportion of the inner parts of the authors, or consciousness, that we deal with in the original. There was a fear of whether this particular sentiment would work for American readers. ”

The comet was listening to the story with its eyes narrowed. Reconstruction was a slow word while organizing the thoughts.

“In the end, I think it's thanks to the strength of many supporters. The combination of high-quality translations, locally sourced marketing, and all that, I think, is what's driving this response. ”

After finishing speaking, the reconstruction raises its head.

At a distance outside the angle, you see a lotus leaf holding Lika.

When she looked at me, Yeon-woo said, "Dude, it's cool. 'I sent a message.

The nostrils of the rebuilding of the mouth-breathing laughter were passing through the air.

* * *

Sung Sung Publishing Group Mystery Editorial Room.

Myeong-seok smiles at his mouth, staring blankly into the air.

The "there was a sea" that set foot in the United States was a good start.

Glug glug!

The phone rang and a call came from Yoo-jin.

Myeong-seok took a look and answered the phone right away.

“Why did Yoo-jin make all the international calls at this hour? ”

- It was a long, boring night.

Eugene was spoken to in a flawless tone.

She was a motivator and long-time friend of Myeong-seok and the university. Her job was as a publishing agent going back and forth between countries.

Eugene said in a murmuring tone as if he was eating something.

- How's Myoung-hoon doing? There were oceans. They'll be on NPR soon. I heard from a couple of acquaintances that you had a book review and jumped on your feet. One of you is a reporter. Myeonghun wasn't always like this, was he?

“You're a wonderful brother, by the way. ”

Myeong-seok opened the drawer with a smile on his face.

Orloth had a picture of herself and Myeonghun when she was young.

- We're out of first editions. 50,000 copies? I think it'll be okay to digest. The New York Times bestseller should be able to enter with ease. Honestly, it's gonna be harder than that.

“If I had left it with you, I could have made it to the top 20. ”

I was half serious about the nuance of the bright seats.

I know that Eugene is a capable agent. I have a deep understanding of international markets and have maintained good relationships with leading publishers.

Business happens when people and people meet.

The key to getting things done is business friendliness and career.

Eugene, a publishing agent, could not be an exception in this regard. Myeongseok knew her well, and she was able to do her job well based on her intimate knowledge and rich experience. I've been doing that since college.

- Horses are liquidated. You get paid to hire a copyright officer?

“If verifying the rights and assisting the contract is all that matters to the agent, I don't have to come to you. ”

- If you really think about it, just throw me a piece of Haejeon's work. I'll sell it to you. No, I'm not throwing it. What's new? Something to eat in this neighborhood.

“You've been busy working on the scenario with the game lately. I didn't ask for a new plan. ”

- You mean Oscar's dungeon? That fantasy is already eight or nine? The dose is too long. It's an adventure from the start.

“Sure, I guess. ”

- I've examined all the pieces. From a stupid woman to a boy in the '90s, to a summer of 20 years old... Hey, it was better when there was a real sea. It's the least I can do for America. The rest is hard, to be honest. I still don't know if Asian writers are aware of the sovereignty. It's too Korean. It's hard.

Eugene's voice was speeding up with excitement.

- Try to seduce him into writing a new length. Mystery is good. Horror is good. Romance is good. I like modern fantasies. Something that might work this way. Story-oriented, huh?

“I'll tell you a story when I get a chance. ”

- Okay. Yam, time to go to sleep. I miss you, Myeong-seok. Come to see this sister sometime. I make a lot of calls.

“I will. Rest well. ”

After hanging up the phone, he stopped trying to dial the reconstruction phone number. Sooner or later, I'll look at my face and relax and say it out loud. The sun flowing through the window was warm.

“Wow, reconstruction. Over 1.5 million followers on your Twitter. I don't think Joon's playing with the apples. ”

“That's not the problem right now. Wow, this is almost indecipherable. ”

Reconstruction looked at the monitor in tears.

Since ‘There was a sea’ was published in the United States, American readers have been emailing in bulk. Of course, every language used is English. As a reconstruction that had not studied English for a long time, rats were born in my head.

‘That doesn't mean I can't reply. ’

Reconstruction took nearly 10 times as long as it did with Korean readers and wrote a daily response. They are thankful readers for reading their work. Right now, I have only one way to repay you.

Glug glug!

Su-hee called me.

Reconstruction took a period at the end of the newly written email. Then I picked up my phone and went into the room to answer the phone.

“Su-hee. ”

- Did you have lunch?

“I'm going to eat soon. What about you?"

- I'm going out to dinner with the team in a few minutes. We're going to the gym for dinner. What are you going to eat with Yeon-woo?

“Then we'll have to eat meat loaf. ”

As he replied, the reconstruction laughed.

In the past, Su-hee and I had never had a long conversation like this on the phone.

But things are different now. No matter what conversation you have, it is sweet for no reason.

You had my vitamins for breakfast, right?

“I ate.”

- Did you heat up the stew once?

“Well, someone ordered it. ”

- Are you sure you left the pot lid on the side? What did you do with the laundry on the sofa? I'm afraid Lika's scattered.

“Don't worry, I did everything I said. You don't have to be so perfect. ”

- Where does my personality go? Oh, nice day. I want to travel.

Su-hee's fresh voice tickles my ears.

Reconstruction pressed the urge to go to see her immediately and replied.

“Do you want to go on a trip, two days a night, a weekend? ”

Can you do that?

“I'm a freelancer. It doesn't matter. Are you okay?”

- Well, it's the weekend. Oh, this is gonna be fun. It's our first trip. Where are we going? Where are we going, reconstructor?

“I'll talk to you later in the evening. ”

- Yeah, let's do it. I'm sorry, reconstruction. I have to go out for dinner now. I'll call you after work. Enjoy your lunch.

“Yeah, you, too. ”

Reconstruction of the disconnected phone connected to the Internet with a mobile phone.

When I searched for a good destination, the information in each area was lined up. The reconstruction, which I was checking one by one as I scrolled down, suddenly came to mind.

It was' Guncheon... ', right? ’

It reminded me of a dream I had just had without notice.

A crude sign called the 'Mushroom Bath’.

Then, when I turned around, the landscape of the Guncheon-eup office and the Guncheon-depot were revived in my brain one by one.

Reconstruction entered "Chencheon-eup" in the search box.

Immediately, the phrase ’Guncheon-eup Gyeongju’ followed up with auto-completion.

‘Ah, it was a race. ’

A race with a high number of prestigious races from the millennium of Shilla.

Reconstruction was also a place I went to once with my family as a child and once in high school as a group.

Reconstruction searched the bathhouse after chasing down the memory I saw in my dream. There was no bathhouse of that name anywhere in Gyeongju.

I changed the method. This time, I searched the Guncheon-eup office and showed the surrounding landscape on the screen. The result was the same: there was only one new steaming room with state-of-the-art equipment.

“The reconstruction, brother, attached that skin to my back. ”

“Okay, let's go eat. ”

As I left Yeongwoo and the office, I thought of rebuilding. If Su-hee asks me to go on a trip, I'll accept it.
