Big Life

33 - Reconstruction is no big deal (4)

‘This century is a sign of a masterpiece that cannot be seen again · · · · · · Hehe. ’

Myeong-seok laughs alone, reading the article "Evil" from the L.A. Times. Some may have doubted that it was a somewhat exaggerated expression after reading the article, but at least not in his case. 'Evil’ in his heart has long occupied the position of a masterpiece for his hand.

‘I can't help but borrow this phrase. ’

Tadadadak! Tadadak! Tadahak!

The ten fingers of the bright seats beat the batter busy.

After carefully writing down the instructions for my subordinates, I looked up and saw the watch.

The clock was pointing to 9 o'clock one day. It is night, not morning, because I have been working late.

If there were only one "evil," he wouldn't have to work late.

However, Myeong-seok had one more piece to work with, especially more care. The title is "The Last Trip," and it has a rich chance of being the last work of my father's life.

Soon after I finished my work, I got up when I turned off the computer.

Knock, knock.

“Yes, come in. ”

It was Taejin who opened the door and appeared.

Myeong-seok stopped his hands, gathering the widespread documents, and opened his mouth.

“Father, what are you doing here without you? ”

“I've come to feel guilty for your overtime. You're working late because you're holding on to my line. ”

“What are you talking about? Of course it's my job. Is that really why you're here? ”

“Concubine, on my way in with you, I want to have a soju like old times. Quit when you're tired.”

“All right, Father. I was just on my way out. Go ahead.”

Myeong-seok replied with a happy face.

Since I came to the main house with Eugene, I still haven't had a heartfelt conversation with my father. It seemed like a good opportunity.

In front of the car in the underground parking lot, the director and the driver were waiting. They opened the back seat door, and Taejin and Myung Seok lifted themselves up in turn.

“Where will you go, Father? ”

“I hope it's going to be loud today. Let's go to the non-perishable.”

The started-up car exited the parking lot.

In a car running through the quiet streets of the weekdays, Taejin asked in an unconcerned tone.

“Is there a conflicting publishing schedule? ”

“Yes?”

“With the work of a reconstructive writer. ”

“Oh, it's next week. ”

“Then I'll be buried. ”

“That can't be right. ”

With a smile from Myeong Seok, I protested to save Tae-jin's mood.

“The last trip started with a pre-order of close to 10,000 copies. Mr. Haejeon's new book is just a handout. ”

“I'm just saying. Dude, seriously. ”

Although he patted his son on the shoulder, Taejin did not look out the window.

Seeing him like that, a corner of my heart stared at me. This is why the strange tension my father is experiencing is so widespread.

Right now, my father doesn't...

A writer named Oh Tae Jin is afraid of rebuilding.

I am worried that the last work of my life, which I completed with great care, will be compared and judged poorly.

Anyway, Myeong-seok couldn't give me comfort. Giving consolation is admitting that you made these assumptions. I suppressed what my father said for his pride.

“Oh, by the way. ”

Soon, Myeongseok was fortunate to have something to change the subject to.

“Have you decided if you would like to attend the Policy Forum? ”

“I don't know. ”

Taejin grumbled.

Members of the National Assembly of the Munich Defense Forum of the Policy Discussion Board, as well as popular cultural critics, film directors, actors, writers, etc. were invited to explore how the Korean content industry could be activated.

Taejin, the head of the publishing group, was asked to attend from the beginning. Now, it was truly a kind of place for him to be fed up.

“One inconclusive demonstration of the discussion. ”

“I see. ”

Even though he received the horse like that, Myung Seok was confident that he would attend the meeting in Taejin.

My father has been sensitive to foreign reactions and political changes all his life. Because of that effort, there is a public publishing group today.

“How about a reconstructed writer? He's the number-one author in Korea, and the invitations will fly. ”

“I'm probably not going. because I'm trying not to do anything that's irrelevant to writing. ”

“You know the writer very well. ”

“As a writer and editor, we have a rolling period. ”

“Haha.”

With a smile, Taejin firmly gripped the hand of Myeong Seok.

Myeong-seok also wraps his other hand around the wrinkled back of his father's hand. It was because I felt my father's hands tremble lightly. Seoul City Hall passed out of the window, and there was no traffic nearby.

The first week of September, when the tropical bay of the flames was in full swing.

The top three companies, as well as almost every cable, started broadcasting news in common. It was all about the writer called Hae Hae Hae Hae Re.

[The Bress-Dragon Rider, an overseas reconstruction writer, is showing unfathomable popularity. According to the Open House buyer of U.S. Copyright, there's over 18 million copies of sales going towards 20 million copies. In other parts of Europe, including the United Kingdom, France and Germany.]

[Park Do-jun, an absolute popularity not only in Korea but also in China, officially announced the kick-off. It was the character of the Harebuilding writer's uncompromising novel, "The Modern Journal." The film was produced at Tincent Pictures, China's largest film company.]

[Wisconsin Pictures officially announced the schedule for the Bress film's fantasy novel, "The Reconstructor." Known locally as The Batking Trilogy and The Inception, renowned director Chris Nolan will be capturing the megaphone, and the actor to be featured is · · · · · · · ·.]

[In the meantime, the company that bought the Mushroom Bath for 1.8 million dollars made it. I'd like to connect you with a reporter on the ground.]

It was all about reconstruction, no matter which channel you played.

The one who still didn't know his name three letters was a judge who created a myth that even treated him as an spy or a less distant human being.

The world is noisy with news about rebuilding.

A small article was published on the corner of the Internet portal site. It was a short introduction to the novel "Evil" by the author Aiden Smith. Unfortunately, very few people were interested in the story of this new foreign author.

“Rebuild, here comes the evil knight. ”

In the quiet subway in the middle of the Sunday afternoon.

Su-hee handed out the article she found on her phone. Reconstruction briefly covered the novel I was reading and took my eyes to my mobile phone.

- · · · · · · · The main character is a Korean born in Korea, but was abandoned by parents as a child and adopted into a white American family.

In addition, emotions that are hard to express in all places of fiction are often noticed if you are not Korean. That's why L.A. 's Korean-American readers are guessing that the author of 'Evil' is Korean.

The publisher has a thorough understanding of the identity of the writer in the veil. After being covered in the L.A. Times, the first edition sold for 50,000 units was published domestically through the Sung Publishing Group · · · · ·.

“A writer in a veil. The article is so fun. ”

“Haha, I see. It's like some kind of mysticism. I doubt that this was written by the editor of Myung Seok Myung Seok himself. ”

Reconstruction and Su-hee glanced at each other and laughed.

They were just on their way out for the holidays.

After looking around the National Central Museum and eating lunch, I was now heading to the bookstore.

I want to buy Tae Jin's new 'Last Trip’ and see what books have come out. Both of them were pressing on their hats in case anyone would recognize them.

“I can't believe you already digested and augmented your plate. Readers will recognize it if it's a good article, even if it's an anonymous writer. I was worried about what I'd do if it didn't sell, but it's great. ”

Su-hee hugged the arm of reconstruction.

“The best in the world, I love our rebuilding. ”

“It makes sense that you've been in love with me since college. ”

“I'm freaking out. I'm pulling you over. Look at you grinning. ”

“I'm just kidding. I like you better. ”

“How much do you like it? ”

“Well, a little bit. ”

“Okay, I'll give you some food. ”

After a short while, the subway stops and the two of them get off at the station. Then I entered a large bookstore connected via the subway.

The holiday bookstore was crowded with people.

“Rebuild, here's your evil! ”

Su-hee closed my mouth instead of talking. I looked around carefully and thankfully, no one seemed to have heard of it.

With a sigh of relief, a young man and woman looking like a couple approaches them.

“Evil?”

During the couple, the man muttered and held the "evil" in his hands. Su-hee secretly looked at them and lifted her ears.

“L.A. Times was chosen for a good book. Sounds like fun. ”

“Hmm, I don't know. Isn't Harebuilding new? ”

The woman said with a grumpy face.

Then the man shot her with a slightly dull look.

“You only know how to build a writer? ”

“You write well. ”

“Do you only know how to rebuild? There are writers everywhere who write well. Hae Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae, Hae ”

“Who said that? I don't want to be alone anymore. ”

“Hey, why are you saying I'm a wannabe? ”

“Oh, I don't know. I'm getting annoyed. ”

“Ji-hye! ”

A slow, confused man hurriedly chases after the woman. In his hand was still a book of ‘evil’. Su-hee smiled happily and whispered in the ear of the reconstruction.

“I'd better get going. ”

“Yeah, I don't want to rebuild, but Aiden Smith is fine. Let's go in a little further, not here. ”

Reconstruction and Su-hee moved deeper into the bookstore.

A moment later, a man approaches a new corner and stops.

He frowned and scoured all over the place, picking up 'Evil'.

‘Looks like you might like it a little bit. ’

The man did not hesitate for long and bought several more books, including ‘Evil’. It was an errand, not a reading. As soon as he finished the calculation, he hurried out of the store.

* * *

“Oh my, content industry activation policy discussion? If that's the case, I won't be able to attend again. Uh-huh.”

In the middle of a living room full of booze and snacks.

It was the Minister of Culture's phone that woke up Jaehoon who was sleeping late with a heavy drink.

“Who are you confirmed to attend? Oh, and Chairman Seong-seok Kwon and Chairman Oh Tae-jin from Seong Group? ”

Jae-hoon came to his senses in the names of famous people.

Recently, he has been actively participating in almost all events and broadcasts requiring him. The reason is because of money. I was struggling to cover the production costs of the ambitious' Final Godfather ’.

“Did the · · · · · · · · · reconstruction writer come? Yeah, well, he's a pretty good seller, anyway. Oh, you haven't gotten a response yet? Hmm, yes? What are you talking about? Ha, it has nothing to do with me whether or not a writer is present. I was literally just asking, hahaha. ”

Beep, beep, beep.

The front door was open and the manager came in.

He had a shopping bag with books in his hand. Soon after finishing the call, Jae-hoon threw his phone into the corner of the couch and asked.

“Did you bring anything good? ”

“Yes, the new one came out quite well. ”

“Fuck the debate! I can't film, and I'm dying to hold the book day and night. ”

Jae-hoon grumbled, accepting the shopping bag.

I don't want to read it. Reading was necessary to create something to say on the broadcast. In particular, he is a filmmaker with a close relationship with the content industry.

“What's with all the headlines? What is this, some kind of evil? ”

“I think he's an American writer. I bought it for the L.A. Times because they said it was a good book. ”

“It's too thick · · · · · · · · · Have you taken a look before buying this? ”

“That's · · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Didn't you just pick up all this stuff because you were annoyed?! ”

“Oh, no. I chose it with all my heart. ”

Jae-hoon pulled out his tongue in front of an excuse manager. Lying facedown on the couch holding the ‘Evil’ in his hands, he said.

“Go boil some ramen. Put your dick in it. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

The manager swears in his mouth and heads to the kitchen.

Jae-hoon opened the book with a puffy look on his face. I was going to read it and throw it away if it wasn't fun.

About 10 minutes from it.

“Director, have some ramen. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Director? I've had enough noodles. Come and have some." ”

“Don't talk to me. Be quiet. ”

“Yes? You said you eat noodles. ”

“You eat it or leave it alone! ”

Jae-hoon takes his eyes off the book and shouts.

The grieving manager started eating ramen with a depressed look on his face.

“Ha · · · · · · · This is quite the writer's work. ”

The mouth of Jae-hoon spoke admirably.

Later, looking at the front and back cover of 'Evil’, he continued to speak to himself.

“As expected, a good work is a provocation. Kyaa, it takes a lot of writers like this to revive the content industry. It's a world where people like Hazan, who only light up money and write as crap, think they're writers. ”

“Is everything all right, Director? ”

“Hey, I'm not kidding. I feel like I'm rinsing my rotten eyes with clear water. You should read it later. This is a real novel and a work of art. It's nothing compared to those pulp fiction bastards. I have to get this ready for this meeting. ”

After saying that, Jae-hoon no longer opened his mouth.

It was because I began to fall in love with 'Evil’ completely.
