1983 Past Life Manga King

It is different from previous work.

It’s a time-consuming job.

So Park Sang-sik is also a burden.

I am capable enough.

He knows almost all the clichés that were popular in those days, so it’s not a problem to come up with more than one story a day if he decides to.

But taking only what you give is a bit different.

“More, please.”

“Huh? 20 million won?”

“Yeah. When you die, you have to wear a lion’s head. Maybe I can’t even sleep properly.”

Jeon Sang-gil’s eyes narrowed slightly at my words.

Because of this, Park Sang-sik’s face turns blue and his eyes roll around.

I just looked at Jeon Sang-gil’s face without saying a word.

Then he thought for a moment and then opened his mouth again.

“Give me another 3,000 won.”

“Just give me 5,000 won, please.”

“… 50,000 won?”

“Instead, if you are not satisfied, you can receive less than the amount you were supposed to give.”

“·················ogue.”

Jeon Sang-gil’s brow furrows. For an additional 50,000 won per book, 7 books, a total of 1.75 million won. That’s more than 35,000 won per month. 35,000 won is not a small amount of money.

But he soon nodded his head.

“Good. Don’t do what you say. But be punctual, and if you don’t like the story, or the script doesn’t respond at all, you’ll have to pay half of the money you eat. What do you think? Will you still accept it?”

comes out a bit loud

If that’s the case, it’s not even worth 90,000 won.

It’s just quietly asking you to receive only 20,000 won.

But despite his pressure, I just grinned.

“good. accept that If we can’t keep these two things, we’ll give out a class and make a story with only that amount from next time on.”

“Oh, right?”

It is a look that Gumi is pulling.

“Yeah. Instead, I have one more request for you.”

“What else? It’s really not that hard.”

He seems to have a subtle smile.

Either way, I said what I was thinking.

“Can you write a contract for the second copyright?”

“Second edition? What is it?”

“This is a contract that asks for 30% of net income if comic books with changing format are published, or if they grow into movies, dramas, or character businesses, except for comic books that are going out in print format.”

“What?”

Jeon Sang-gil looks embarrassed.

Seriously, I’d never heard of a contract like this back then, so it’s a natural reaction.

It was a time when there was little awareness of the secondary copyright, so a young man who casts such an absurd spell would look strange.

Jeon Sang-gil looked at me with a strange expression for a while and rubbed the second cigarette he was holding in his mouth into the ashtray. Then he pulled up the corners of his mouth.

“It’s an interesting proposition. So your idea is that this can generate additional revenue other than the script comics.”

“I’m talking about that possibility. It’s the floor where you can’t be sure of anything.”

Hearing this, Jeon Sang-gil laughed out loud.

“Wow, I jumped into the comics world naked and saw so many different types, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen someone as unusual as you. haha.”

To be honest, I don’t expect a second edition to come out with this work now. However, as I said, it is impossible to know which cloud will rain on this floor. I’m just thinking of it as a minimum safeguard to prevent unnecessary quarrels in the future.

“·················ogue.”

Park Sang-sik, who was by my side, was always nervous while listening to the conversation between me and Jeon Sang-gil.

It may be because it is the first time I have heard of secondary copyright or anything like that, but it is probably because I am a bit concerned about the contract.

But unexpectedly, Jeon Sang-gil accepted my offer with anger.

“Well, okay. It’s because the secondary copyright and whatnot is the part that ultimately benefits me too, well. don’t let them share Because good is good.”

After I said OK on the spot, I brought a piece of paper and filled out an abbreviated contract.

After writing the outline, Park Sang-sik and I and Jeon Sang-gil took the picture.

“It’s good guts. Do you like it.”

After saying that, I turned my head to Park Sang-sik, who was next to me.

“Where did you get a friend like this? I’m really blessed.”

“Iknow, right.”

If Park Sang-sik agrees, he scratches his head.

“Then did our contract come to an end?”

“Yeah.”

“Good.”

Jeon Sang-gil also added that he hopes that the new work will be released within a week. In addition, he gives 300,000 won per person as an advance payment. It’s kind of a custom.

“Aren’t you giving out such a large amount of money too willingly?”

“What? If I take that money and blow it away, I don’t see people well.”

“·················ogue.”

This is not a formidable person.

“Anyway, do your best.”

“Yeah. Okay.”

So I roughly finished the conversation with Jeon Sang-gil and left the studio.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Park Sang-sik is speechless as he goes to get on the bus.

I’m still baffled if it seems that the tension has not been released yet.

After arriving at the bus stop, Park Sang-sik opened his mouth.

“Where did you really learn that?”

“What?”

“I mean, it’s the second edition. It was the first time I had heard of such a thing, so I couldn’t even understand what he was talking about at first.”

“Oh, that?”

“Why did you make such a contract?”

He asked me if I was curious.

“From now on, it will be an era in which not only simple creation but also secondary publication rights are important.”

“···········?”

“You know Star Wars?”

“uh. Of course you know.”

“Do you know what Star Wars director George Lucas made money from?”

“What?”

Manga Factory (2)

Park Sang-sik, who was a little taken aback by the sudden question, immediately thought and opened his mouth.

“Because the movie was a success.”

“If a film is successful, the film company makes money, not the director. And he didn’t get much of a director’s guarantee in his first film.”

“then?”

“I own the character license and the movie rights. That’s what made the guy a lot of money. With that money, I made a sequel. The studio will probably regret passing those two things over.”

“Oh, really.”

He is quite admiring, perhaps because he heard stories about a world he did not know.

“How are you not like that?”

“Well, I read it as an article.”

It’s just not this time.

Anyway, Park Sang-sik, who had nodded his head to see if he agreed roughly, soon brightened his expression.

“By the way, for a month, it was 1.75 million won for 7 episodes, I still don’t feel it.”

“You have to split it in half. 875,000 won.”

“No, I’ll pay 75,000 won. You have a million dollars.”

“Exactly half. 875,000 won.”

“·······You are really stubborn too. okay. ok Are you sure by the way? It wouldn’t be easy to work on 7 books a month. Even if you don’t know it, the work will be carried out steadily for more than half a year without a break, and even if you take a break, it’s only a short time.”

“OK. what’s the story how will you make it Brother, write diligently. It’s a continuity thing.”

“I’m making lines and putting them in the storyline, and once the story is complete, it’s not a job. The script for the manga is simple and the storyline is simple.”

“Then what happened?”

The conversation continued even after getting on the bus.

“By the way, did you know Team B too?”

“Why?”

“No, because it’s a story I picked up recently too. But why do you think you know more than me? Do you know anyone else in the comics world other than me?”

“Well, I can’t say no.”

I only know, but I can’t say that the other person knows.

Anyway, Park Sang-sik nodded as if he was agreeing with that statement.

“no wonder. Please let me know when you have a chance.”

“Well, I’m not that close.”

“okay? Then there is nothing you can do.”

But soon Park Sang-sik stopped and his expression changed strangely.

“Why?”

“Wait, news.”

“news?”

“Did you not hear the news?”

Come to think of it, bus radio broadcasts have been playing small since before.

What news are you talking about?

Then the old man sitting on the right side of the bus with a cane shouted.

“Hey, turn up the news volume for the knights.”

“Ah yes.”

In the bus, the small sound of the radio that had been heard before grew louder.

[·········· Burma Police Commissioner revealed that it was the work of a North Korean military officer assassination group sent by the North Korean Reconnaissance Bureau to assassinate President Chun Doo-hwan and his entourage .

Huh? What are you talking about? President assassination?

It’s me who knows about cartoons, because I’m nothing but black eyes when it comes to these days.

“Hey, really, I don’t know if there is even a war like this.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Why is that because of the explosion at the Aung San Mausoleum in Burma at the beginning of last month?”

Is Burma an old name for Myanmar?

By the way, was there such a big thing in those days?

“There was talk that if the president had died, there would have been a real all-out war. Wow, there are so many incidents this year.”

“What happened?”

“Have you forgotten already? Earlier this year, Ung-pyeong Lee defected in a fighter plane, and the plane was shot down over the Soviet Union, and a terrorist attack occurred at the Aung San Mausoleum a little over a month ago.”

“·················ogue.”

For a moment, I was at a loss for words.

I don’t know the details of the circumstances, but each one seems like a bloody incident, but it all happened in one year. It was me, I was shocked because I only knew about the manga industry in 1983.

“What is it?”

“I thought there were a lot of great things this year.”

“okay. right. A lot of great things have happened.”

Park Sang-sik nodded his head and said calmly.

*

After returning home, he took the money out of his pocket.

30,000 won in advance.

Combined with the 71 million won previously saved, it became 101 million won.

It’s already over $100,000.

It’s 100 million won…

Even 1 million won in the original days was never a small amount of money. But in 1983, it was 1 million won, roughly 10 million won worth, maybe even more, I made a lot of money in a short time.

The only thing I did here was to show my disposition as a devotee more productively, and this turned out to be money.

It’s kind of happy, but at the same time it’s a strange feeling.

I feel like my heart is pounding at the thought that my existence is useful to my family here.

In the late afternoon, as usual, Mom came home from work first and returned to her house.

The twins are still at school these days, studying for the entrance exam, so it looks like they haven’t come home a little later than usual. Still, it’s strangely good to see these guys’ faces are brighter these days than usual.

After all, when her mother enters her house, she sees me alone and smiles. She then swipes up the plastic bag she is holding.

“Son, is your mother late? Because I bought sausage. I’ll coat you with eggs and fry them.”

“There, Mom. I have something to tell you.”

“What?”

She looks at me as my mom releases a street of side dishes from the supermarket and the market into the kitchen.

“this.”

I suddenly held out the envelope. Then her mother opened her eyes and she looked at me.

“What is this?”

“Look for yourself.”

Mom takes the white envelope I’m holding out and looks inside. Then she looked back at me with startled eyes.

“Hey, what is all this?”

“Well, money. one million won.”

I needed the money for personal use, so I subtracted the 10,000 won.

Anyway, it seems that the mother was shocked by the word of 100 million won. Seeing that the eyes that were already large have gotten bigger.
