34 - How far can I go (7)

[Breaking news: the author of the award-winning Confucian Literature Award, "Evil," has been found to be a reconstructive writer. Our coverage team is out in the field right now.]

[One of the top three literature awards in the world, the renowned Confucius winner Aiden Smith has been found to be a reconstructive writer. The reason I received the proxy award through my editor was for my wife's care.]

[A netizen comment would have been impressive if it had snowed on the Korean Peninsula in the middle of the summer. There's a whole community of Internet SNS and literature right now boiling around with stories of reconstructive writers.]

[In front of the headquarters of the conglomerate publishing group is a fan meeting of the reconstruction writer. And as you can see behind me, there are a lot of journalists with me and a lot of them taking pictures. We don't know exactly what's going on inside because we're currently locked in.]

[It is becoming controversial that director Woo Jae-hoon assaulted a reconstructed writer at a fan meeting. The victim is a reporter for a parent broadcaster, and during an interview, a fist flew in and knocked out of his face.]

They've been broadcasting news on almost every news channel on the ground and in the air.

TV shows, variety shows, and films were all producing this amazing news in captions.

At this point, the rebuilding fan meeting is not over yet.

500 readers stood in line holding the malice in their hands. Every one of them was also smiling with their faces and expressing their astonishment.

“I was so surprised. Miss Ha, I came here to ask for a fan meeting after reading the malicious letter very deeply, and it was so nice to meet you. I love your work, too. ”

“Oh, really? It was Aiden Smith. I was so shocked that I couldn't see a thing! I used to go to autograph meetings in the summer when I was 20 years old, and I was delighted that I was chosen! ”

“Wow, I still can't believe it. I'm going to get two signatures back and forth. One will be rebuilt and the other will be Aiden Smith. ”

“Is malice going to be in a movie? The protagonist must be Korean. Do you think Park Do-joon will be in charge again? ”

While the reconstruction is diligently signing.

A report from the Chief of Security nods, looking behind the statue.

I had a fair expectation, but then there were coverage groups and film distributors and TV station officials. It's absurd to walk out the front door in this situation.

"Gong Cur Prize · · · · · · · is definitely great. ’

Myeong-seok was reminded of the work of the first Korean author to win a Manchester award for English literature.

More than 7,000 books were sold the day the news of the Prime Minister came out. In one day, the sales volume was more than 16 times higher.

‘How much will malice sell? ’

Reconstruction has been the pinnacle of Korean small design since its inception.

If "Evil" had been published under a blindness, there would have been a million copies left in the country by now, perhaps more than 160 times sales would have increased, not 16 times.

It was a smile because I was looking forward to screaming happily. Already there was a massive increase in stockpiles due to his iron stomach.

Glug glug!

“Eugene. ”

Myung Seok received a phone call from Manshak's wife with a happy voice. Twice as bright as that, Eugene's voice returned.

- Wizard and Tincent called at almost the same time. Now both men are upside down. Hah, you called me several times to tell me you didn't answer your phone.

“You're busy in a fan meeting. I'm not joking about copyright in front of the headquarters right now. I heard that New London and MBS were running directly to the PD. ”

- I don't envy the billion-dollar marketing award-winning title. There's a lot of reactions in the United States right now.

“Yes, the Internet world is terribly fast. ”

- We can't keep busy and talk for too long. Give me a tap at the end of the fan meeting. Director Tinsen Linminhong is anxious to make one phone call. I'm coming to Korea on a plane tonight.

“Okay, I'll call you back. ”

My phone rang again before I hung up and put it in my pocket.

This time it was a phone call from the sales department.

It was another busy step for reports of "evil" shortages in major bookstores.

* * *

“Well done, Miss Ha. Your arm must hurt a lot. Thank you very much. ”

“No, thank you very much for coming. ”

The last reader turns and the signing is over.

Reconstruction squeezed its wrist under the table, avoiding the eye area. The pain left behind by the signing association was not small this time.

“Teacher, from now on, journalists · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

“Yes, I know. ”

The reconstruction lightly shrugs its shoulders and stands up.

There are still questions and answers with the reporters who entered as a prior application. This is why readers are still keeping their positions.

It turns out Aiden Smith was rebuilt.

Reporters had to put aside the placenta of the questions they had prepared and make new preparations.

“I would appreciate it if you could count on our position to create an immediate question. So, no, wait a minute. Hae-won, you're kidding me, right? What, it's not like a covert camera with Aiden Smith? ”

“You said you wanted to read without prejudice, aiming at readers from all over the world, not just in Korea. In fact, in the United States, in Europe, and in particular in France, where we won the Confucian Award, we've been getting really good sales volume ever since, whether it's because of the unique grim atmosphere. Now, as an Asian writer, would you like to see this differently than before? ”

“We just got word that Vandi and Lunia have run out of malice. less than a few hours after the news hit the streets. How much do you think you can sell? You've been planning this movie for a long time? ”

Reconstruction provided as sincere and honest answers to journalists' questions as possible.

Journalists tapped their laptops and tablet PCs, taking notes without forgetting a single word about the reconstruction.

The shorthand notes continue to grow fat and go up to the article. Thanks to this, the curiosity of millions of readers in the country who have not been here has been somewhat resolved.

A long time passed.

The next journalist's question was interrupted by a blank space just before. I couldn't watch the rebuilding of my sweat more and more often.

“I'll finish my schedule around here. We have already moved past the scheduled end time and you are very tired. ”

Reconstruction left through the back exit of the multipurpose hall, following the extradition of the elite and security personnel. After a short walk, Myeong-seok sighs and lets out his horse.

“I anticipated it, but it's not a mess in front of the headquarters. not just the press, not one or two people who were swarmed by copyright. I'll drive you today, and I'll have your car delivered to the staff. ”

“Then excuse me for today. ”

“But now that I think about it, I'm worried. There must have been a lot of coverage at your house today. ”

“I was just thinking about it myself. I have to go home to my wife. I'll get you the address.”

Navigation destination changed to Su Hee's apartment. The seat next to the back said with a faint smile.

“I was a little surprised to see you today, to be honest. ”

“Surprised?”

“I didn't think you'd mention Congressman Kwon and Director Right in the field. ”

Reconstruction scratches the tip of the nose with a bloody smile.

Later, his smile slowly fades, and he pounces.

“I feel compelled to be angry sometimes because I'm a person. ”

“Hahaha · · · · · · · · ·. ”

My phone rang before I stopped laughing.

It was Director Lin Minhong.

Reconstruction exchanged sharp seats and eye gestures and took the mobile phone to the ear.

“Yes, sir. How are you?”

-Congratulations on winning the Gong Kur award, Hah! I was very moved and very surprised. I was amazed again by the overwhelming power of the teacher who destroys all the genres and borders.

As soon as the phone is connected, praise pours out. With a loud enough voice to be heard by the person sitting next to me.

As soon as the shrunken reconstruction was about to answer, Rin Minhong said again.

- He's right next door with Maoyen.

“Oh, you too, Jules? ”

- Yes, tell her I'm sorry I can't speak to her directly because I don't speak Korean.

“I'm sorry I didn't learn Chinese properly. ”

- Jules wants to see you soon. Now that you've finished the Joker series and your malice is over, would you mind giving us a moment?

“Oh, yeah. ”

The rebuilding blurred the end of the sentence and was briefly rescheduled.

As Rin Minhong said, there is no urgent matter right now. In addition, China is a country close by, so you can feel better about a day or so later.

“Very well, I'll go once a week or so. ”

- No, we'll find you.

“Yes?”

- Maoyen wants to go to Korea himself. Hah, you must be tired from your writing, but you can't make your flight that far. We will go to Korea.

The rebuilding didn't work immediately, and the chords rang.

The head of Tincent Pictures himself. There's a 99% chance of a copyright contract coming out. ‘Evil’ has not yet entered the Chinese market.

“I understand.”

It was only after the rebuilding that I spoke.

I thought it was a little early to discuss the copyright agreement, so I accepted it without any burden.

To this day, I have a small favor to return to Maoyen for supporting me on both sides of the water.

“Thank you for coming to Korea. I'll contact you when I have a schedule. I'll serve you delicious food. ”

- Yes, sir. And congratulations again. We'll be in touch soon.

As soon as the reconstruction hung up the phone, the smartphone rang this time. As soon as he heard the report, he straightened his back.

“Out of stock already? 20,000 won already? ”

- Yes, Editor. The Internet bookstore is in a commotion. Since the teacher's news went offline, every bookstore has run out of stock. We will do our best to be on time without any disruption to distillation.

“Okay, call me back when you see the situation. ”

Myung Seok, who took his phone, said with his tongue.

“Hah, all the major bookstores in Seoul have sold out, as well as Internet bookstores. ”

“Already?”

“I just got a report that there are over 8,000 books out in Vandi and Lunia. Honestly, I didn't expect more than 20,000 copies to sell so quickly that it's only been a few hours now. ”

I couldn't smile because I was surprised by the light fixing my glasses.

“You're about to lose your best seller record of all time. Or maybe I'll write a new history of Korea's best sellers. I'm sure it'll be bad for the language textbooks. ”

Reconstruction burst into laughter because it was a funny case of unusual brilliance.

My whole body felt good.

He was also proud that he had crossed another big mountain.

At this moment, the person I most wanted to see was the president whom I had never met in my life.

* * *

“Yes, Father. We made it back. No, I came to Soo-hee's apartment. I don't think reporters are going to be able to get in my house. Yes, I will go down to the water source in a few days. Rest, Father. ”

After hanging up the phone, the reconstruction sighs and takes off its clothes. As I entered the comfortable house, I felt fatigued. Definitely consumed a lot of energy at the fan meeting.

“It's hard, isn't it? Get in there and wash up. ”

“Aren't you coming in? ”

“I'm going to take a bath in the little bathroom. ”

“No, why? You're not gonna push me back? ”

“You thought you didn't know? ”

“I won't touch you. I'm not touching a finger. ”

“Dozens of deceptions are enough. This is a really dangerous day, so no. If you want to wash together, go to the convenience store. I told you we ran out of those in the morning. ”

“Okay, I'm going to the convenience store right now. ”

“But I won't wait for you. ”

Su-hee sticks out her tongue and locks the door in the small bathroom.

Reconstruction drenched me like a man who lost his country and entered the bathroom alone.

After each bath, the two of them sat across from each other at the dinner table.

Two silent congratulations with steamed fish and a glass of wine. A smile did not stop on the lips of the two people facing each other as soft music flowed out.

I wonder how many glasses of wine I've had.

Su-hee's cheeks sag, her hands twitching her chin. She stares at the reconstruction with her open eyes, muttering like a soliloquy.

“How wonderful my husband must be. ”

Reconstruction also smiled and looked at Su-hee.

The tightly ripe air touches the skin of two people.

The sight of two people who could not fall face-to-face became hotter and hotter thanks to the energy of alcohol. The reconstruction vaguely thought, "This is how marriage can flow, no matter how much you plan."

That night.

Reconstruction did not go to the convenience store.
