37 - Game on Now (1)
Publishers' literary retreat in Paju, Gyeonggi-do.
Lee Young-seok, a representative in his 50s, was always looking at the TV with a serious face. Celebrities going on live were news.
[The Bress has over 18 million viewers. The number one spot in the Korean film of all time is confirmed. Journalist, how are your international grades or reactions?]
[Yes, it's still extremely explosive. In North America, we made over 80 million dollars on the first day of opening at about 4200 theaters, and we took the top of the daily charts.]
[Are you saying he's still alive?]
[That's right. After finishing second place in a row in North America, gears made a billion dollars around the world in three weeks. He's already ranked in the top 10 in the world.]
[You mean the whole world, Reporter Hyun?]
[Haha, yes. The whole world.]
Knock, knock.
“Yes, come in. ”
The door opened and the editor came in. To tell him it was time for lunch, the spirit told him first.
“Wait five minutes. I'm done looking at this. ”
“Yes, Jules. ”
[· · · · · · · Today, it is expected that the top 5 in the world will be OK. If we keep this pace a little bit longer, we might be able to make it to the top three.]
[3rd place is amazing. What is the third largest event in the world?]
[Harrison Porter and the Holy Grail of Death. It's an extraordinary project in Korea and around the world, and the cumulative revenue is around 1.33 billion dollars.]
[There was a lot of news saying that The Bress could outrun Harrison Porter. So now you're saying it's not a lie?]
[Yes, Avatar in first place, Titanic in second place will be difficult, but I personally think I can make it to third place easy.]
“What do you think of our editor? ”
The ceremony pointed to the TV with his finger and asked. The editor tilted his head slightly, not understanding the point of the question.
“The Bress. They sell a lot of original novels, right? ”
“Oh, yes. The movie was released and sales were even higher. In the news, they said over 50 million copies last week. ”
The spirit nods and stands up. He picked up the cardigan of the hanger and said:
“I don't think our literary journey is about literature anymore. Last quarter was less. ”
“Are you saying you want to create a label for genre literature? ”
“What do you think of the editor? ”
“I'm all for it. because I felt that the readers looking at literature had changed dramatically in just a few years. ”
The spiritual ceremony and editors went out side by side in the representative room.
While the conversation continued about what to eat for lunch, the phone rang in the spiritual pouch.
As soon as he saw Taejin's name on the crystal, he shook his head in shock.
“Aigoo, you're not the president! Greetings!”
- I'm the chairman. How are you? You have a great voice.
“I'm doing just fine. This is all thanks to your special care. ”
The spiritual ceremony was tightening its elongated head as if Taejin were standing before him. In fact, he was a lifelong savior.
I'm sorry to call so suddenly, but I need to talk to you about something, so why don't we have dinner sometime soon?
“I don't care anytime, Chairman. If you ask me to meet you this evening, or right now, I can go right away. ”
- Haha, he hasn't changed a bit. Are you sure you want to meet me for lunch right now? Actually, I'm in a bit of a hurry myself. I'm sorry to bother you.
“Please don't say that, Chairman. If you are in Seoul, I will run anywhere within an hour. ”
The spirit who hung up the phone got into the car with a burinake driver. There was a young man's bright smile in his mouth. Taejin was the great man he had admired all his life.
“I haven't seen you since you retired. ”
A spiritual soliloquy caused the driver to talk.
“Are you talking about Chairman Oh? ”
“Yes, yes. I'm glad to hear you're still healthy. ”
The spirit smiled and leaned its rear head on the seat.
He has worked for Taejin for more than 20 years since the beginning of the group. After that, he became independent and now manages his own publisher, Literature Travel.
“He was a great man. No employee has ever discriminated against me. He valued being human and being capable and treated everyone fairly. You have a lot to learn from her. ”
“With all due respect, I think that every time I see her, ”
“Haha, this guy. Nothing to flatter yourself about. Oops, let's make a quick stop at the department store before we go. Chairman likes red ginseng, but I have to buy one of those. ”
“Yes, Jules. ”
The car was speeding up. Then a message flew out from the phone of the spirit.
The attached plaintiff's file name was' Five Dreams’.
* * *
“I'm sorry, Chairman. I don't know how to cry. ”
The spirit swiftly stole my face and apologized. His hand was holding the ‘Five Dreams’ manuscript handed over from Taejin. I started reading it on the way here and was about to pass on the last chapter.
“So, how's it going? ”
Taejin, sitting across from the swellfish dish in the middle, asked. The spiritual ceremony resolutely replied with a glance.
“I personally am better than any Korean novel that's been published in the last 10 years. No, not 10 years, 20 years, 30 years or more. ”
“Did you see it that well? ”
“It's not good enough. ”
The spiritual ceremony continued with no room to breathe.
“I've read every one of your works in an impressive way, but the five dreams are of a different quality. I even felt like your literary achievements had reached their peak. It's a great novel. It's amazing. I'm honored to read such a great article before it's even published. ”
“Haha · · · · · · · · · ·. ”
I smiled bitterly, not knowing where Taejin was. In fact, he had to be complicated. However, I was confused as a spiritual figure who didn't know the story behind it.
“Chairman? Maybe I made a mistake. ”
“No, it's not. Thank you so much."
Taejin switched the mood while smiling brightly.
Immediately, he stretched out his arm over the table and added the spiritual shoulders.
“Take good care of him. ”
“Yes, sir? What are you talking about? ”
“Be good to your five dreams. You're the president of the publishing company. ”
“Yee-eh!?! ”
A frightened spirit inadvertently raises its voice. Customers sitting around the restaurant were looking at him.
“I'm sorry. Chairman, I was so surprised all of a sudden! I didn't mishear you, did I? ”
“Is this guy already drunk after two drinks? ”
“No, that's not it! Of course I thought it was your work and it would be published in the voices! But you're leaving this work to me! ”
The excited voice of the spirit trembles.
Taejin raises his bottle, and he immediately reaches out his hands and graciously receives the glass.
“I wanted to leave my work to you once. Who else has ever rated my line as highly as you? ”
“Mr. Chairman! ”
The two eyes of the spiritual ceremony were filled with hot, touching tears.
“I'm going to edit it today! Of course I'll take care of it myself. I will devote all my energy to literary travel. I will make sure that you are never disappointed! ”
“I'll be face-to-face with you if it sells a little. ”
“What do you mean? Best Sellers Win Without Marketing! Five dreams are masterpieces, Mr. President! ”
“Thank you. Let's have a toast. ”
The two of them cheerfully clapped.
The spirit turns to its side, drinking, and the gears shed tears.
Indeed, Taejin was a great person who would not be respected for a lifetime.

“Good morning, sunbae. ”
Reconstruction unwraps the bag and crouches in front of Seo Gun Woo's grave. Lika, who came out with him, was wandering around the graveyard like a patrol.
“It's not easy to fill a big margin in life. I don't even know if I feel uncomfortable seeing your son yet. If I don't hear from you again this year, I'm going to do my best to find out. ”
Reconstruction pulls Soju and Dry Anju out of the bag. Then, I raised a glass to Seo Gun Woo first, and then I drank a glass myself.
“I'm making a lot of money on minutes. I thought a lot about what to do with this money. So when I met my son, there was something I wanted to discuss. That's... ”
“Meow.”
Lika answered instead of Seo Gun Woo.
Reconstruction was a horse stroked the corners of his neck.
“We are establishing a literature named after Mr. Seo Gun-woo. I really want to build it somewhere not far from your grave. I want to meet my son quickly, with a big life and with literature. ”
Glug glug!
Reconstruction took out a vibrating cell phone.
It was JooJoo-won's call that I was going to meet with soon. To have dinner and play ‘The Breeze Online’.
“Oh, Joon. ”
I just arrived with Tae-Bong and Chae Rin and Yuna. Soo-hee said she took you for a walk.
“You're here early. I'll be right in.”
Tae-Bong and I have already opened up our laptops and finished installing The Bress.
“Okay, I'll be in in 20 minutes. ”
The reconstruction hung up the phone and put Juju Island's luggage back in his bag. Then, the 'five dreams’ that were in the bag were caught in my hand.
“By the way, I forgot to tell you. ”
Reconstruction pulled out the book and said,
“It's been really heartbreaking lately. It's written by Chairman Taejin, and I love it. I had a lot to learn as a writer. I've read it all. Would you like to read it? I'd like to make a recommendation. ”
Reconstruction politely placed the "five dreams" in front of the grave.
Just then, Rica, who was sitting quietly all the time, got up.
Then he pushed out his front foot and pushed away the book.
“Lika, what's wrong? ”
“Meow.”
Reconstruction suddenly felt the day standing in front of Rika's cry.
After fixing the book again, Lika scratches the cover again. Sharp fingernail marks are etched on the cover.
“Lika, do you want to get mad at your brother? What if you break the book? He's never done anything like this in his life. Why would he be in trouble in front of you today? ”
Reconstruction embraced Lika as a tree. Then, at the end of the day, he bows down and turns around.
After a while.
After returning home and going down to the basement rest room, I was already fully prepared. I saw six computers on the long table in the corner. Six users, including the reconstruction that has now arrived, took their seats.
“Su-hee and I are royal soldiers. ”
“We, C.Y., go to the state of commerce. ”
“Then Tae Bong and I are Imperial soldiers. It's too cruel even for an original Imperial soldier. ”
Everyone laughs as they see the character being groaned.
The Bress Online.
It has been exactly ten days since the full service began. So far, the rebuilding has been relieved because it still has more appreciation than bad reviews.
“That's right, reconstructor. I saw the news on the way over. I heard Haejeong has an estimated property of over 600 billion writers. Is this true? ”
“All of a sudden I'm asking you something like that. ”
“The reaction is real, it's real. Wow, a life where billions and billions of dollars roll in to eat and sleep at home. ”
Tae-Bong interrupted me with a grumbling aim.
“I thought you said you were going to China and Taiwan soon? ”
“Yes, that's why she looks so bad. I had to go to Taiwan myself, but I couldn't because I had to take care of her. ”
“Are you making fun of someone else? ”
Su-hee stabs him in the back of the reconstruction with his elbow.
Reconstruction rises with a frowning face, complaining of pain. It was because of the wall hung TV that nobody was looking at.
“Can I turn off the TV? ”
“Yeah, I'm going to play a game now, but who's going to see it? Turn it off and come sit down. ”
Reconstruction picked up a remote control on top of the bar. Immediately prior to pressing the power button, the TV screen turned to new news footage.
[· · · · · · King Uda was elected Deputy President of the Central Military, which actually confirmed his succession to the next Games. The Chinese Communist Party · · · · · · · at the Central Committee meeting in Beijing.]
Hmm?
The reconstruction narrowed its eyes. This is why the Chinese face in the middle of the explosion is so familiar.
“Rebuild, what are you doing? ”
“Hey, Joon. Come here for a second. ”
The reconstruction gazes at the TV and calls out with a hand gesture behind your back. He grumbled and came to the side of the reconstruction.
“What's the matter? ”
“This guy. You saw him in China, right? ”
“Huh? ”
The two eyes of the TV were also noticeably larger. Others were also interested in seeing these two people.
“Right, Joon? ”
“Oh, I think you're right about that cheap ping. Hey, didn't you say he was an entrepreneur in the content industry? ”
“What are you two talking about? ”
“Hold on, Charina. ”
Soon after, King Uda appeared standing on the platform and speaking. In his speech that followed the words, "censorship is the reader's share," he opened his mouth because he was more surprised than rebuilding.
“Hey, reconstruction · · · · · · · · · ·. Is this what you said to that guy that day? ”
Reconstruction had no answer.
It was also because he was frightened by more than help.
On television, the advice he gave that day was streaming through King Uda's mouth.
