It was clear at a glance where and what kind of works they are currently writing.

soft-

I put down the papers with a satisfied smile.

Because the quality of the material was better than I expected.

‘Bong-soon Oh has suffered.’

Not long ago, when I went to Globian for the publication of and Pi Hyeon-deuk's exclusive contract issue.

‘This is my personal request. Perhaps… … .'

I made a request to the next representative.

That's right.

‘… Can you find the people on the list I gave you?’

Asking them to find the location of the gems buried in the ground without seeing the light yet.

I asked the CEO who followed me to investigate the contact information of writers or aspiring writers who had great potential but are now unknown through USB.

Of course, since this is my personal request that has nothing to do with Pi's contract, the CEO may reject my request.

'If you're the next representative, you'll understand why I'm looking for these people.'

Anyone who knew how P Hyeon-deuk went through to win the award could not have known.

just as expected.

‘Hmm… .'

At first, Lee Yeon-jin, who seemed to be a little worried about the answer, looked back at Pi Hyeon-deuk once.

'great! If it's like this, I'll have to cling to it instead. We wish you all the best in the future.’

With a smile on his face, he shouted 'Call'.

And as a result.

[Joseph Choi Seoul 010-2875-XXXX]

[Lim Hanseong Andong 010-2875-XXXX][Gobongman Incheon 010-2875-XXXX]

[Lee Ji-eun Yangpyeong 010-2875-XXXX]

.

.

‘First of all, among those on the list, we will select and send them to those who are currently working.’

I was able to find the writers in the USB faster than I thought.

'It's also faster than what I'm looking for myself.'

In fact, from the point of view of Globian, I want to find writers as soon as possible, recruit them, and develop them.

Of course, I didn't feel the same way. I also wanted to get results as quickly as possible.

'Yes? Teacher, are you going to hire writers this time?’

'Huh. I'll ask you one more time. It’s because Arin doesn’t have anyone to trust but you.’

‘… Eh, okay. So, can I go to work there from tomorrow?’

‘I’m sorry, can’t we start today?’

‘… Teacher!'

Deploy decisive weapons. I started inviting writers.

OK.

'Yes? Is it hermit crab? Ah, that funny CF was filmed, right? uh? But do you provide creative support there? heh that would be fun Where is it?’

‘Benefits… Are you going to provide a personal writing space in addition to accommodation and meals? Yes? There are editors... Creative support? Whoa! I'll pack my bags right now!'

Things started to unravel.

of course.

‘… Who do you know as a black cow? Hang up.’

‘No, is there anyone still fishing like this?’

‘I don’t buy it.’

It wasn't that there were no people who were suspicious of it.

‘Even if you’re like me, you won’t believe it at first when you get a call like this.’

However, even such people did not set foot in the hermit crab art center.

'her… Wasn't that fishing?'

‘Hey. This is the first time in my life that I have been treated like this.’

‘… I will make a contract right away.’

Without asking any more questions, they rushed to sign a contract right away.

Countless benefits given to artists the moment they move in. The credibility of the hermit crab brand. And even the evidence that it's bloody.

It was because there were elements that could not be denied by anyone who dreamed of becoming a professional writer.

‘If you are a writer, you can’t refuse.’

At that time, I was looking at the documents O Bong-soon had written for a while and organizing my thoughts.

“Writer. Please come this way!”

Arin's voice came from outside the center director's office.

It looked like he was having a conversation with an artist belonging to the center.

However?

“Oh yes, I’m sorry. There are a lot of strange things, so I looked around... .”

Is your voice quite unfamiliar?

The faces and names of the artists in the center were well known in advance. But the voice I just heard... Well, it was a voice I had never heard before.

‘Did there ever be a new writer who decided to come today?’

Out of curiosity, I listened to their conversation.

"it's okay. I do too sometimes. By the way, would it be okay for the author to use the 4th floor writing room? There is still room for the writing room on the 5th floor, so you can go there… .”

"that is… I think it would be better to just be on the 4th floor. I'm tired of being alone anyway... And I think living with other writers will be more helpful in writing the screenplay.”

"Ah… Yes sir. Then, choose the one you like from the rest of the writing rooms.”

"may I?"

"sure. Writer Joo-Yong Kim is now our center’s family.”

Listening to the conversation between the two, I thought I knew who the artist was today.

After all, the number of screenwriters among the list of writers that I handed over to the next CEO was not that many.

‘Come to think of it, that person is the writer of the film.’

His name is Joo-Yong Kim.

about 10 years from now. For the first time since in 2014, the number of domestic audiences exceeded 17 million. Because he was the screenwriter for the movie , which created a mythical record of 18 million cumulative audiences.

In an instant, his heart pounded.

‘18 million people.’

Unlike novels, where the number of copies sold and winning a prestigious award are important, the movie version unconditionally has a large number of audiences.

No matter how bad a movie is, if the audience ate it, it was treated as an A-class.

So, in the case of Kim Joo-yong, who swept the audience of 18 million, praise from critics, and awards at domestic and international film festivals, it could be seen as a jewel that did not bow to the scrutiny.

‘Considering that Korea’s population is about 51 million, it’s a really absurd record.’

Of course now.

'It's just a sprout that hasn't even been sealed.'

So I thought it would be better to go out now and get used to the face.

‘After all, I almost finished today’s work.’

But then I was about to get up.

"I… But is he really here?”

"Yes? Oh, are you also looking for writer Pi Hyeon-deuk? Of course you are. He is the one in that first writing room over there.”

"no. Not him... that… Writer Kim Joon-young... No, because the representative is present. I enjoyed reading his book a while ago.”

Yes? why me

Kim Joo-yong's sudden words stopped him for a moment.

I never thought my name would come out of his mouth.

"Ah… Well, you're here now... You're so busy, it's hard to see our faces too... .”“Eh, is that so… I even brought a book to get autographed... .”

“Ah, come to think of it, a meal for the representatives of the writers is scheduled for this evening. So, if you tell me then... .”

Well… As I listened to their conversation, I suddenly felt a little burdened.

As a representative, I was used to meeting people face to face, but... As a writer, I was hardly used to dealing with readers.

Then I saw... … .

“Now, shall we go see the dorm this time?”

"Yes. great."

I missed the time to go out.

I hurriedly went out with one heart, 'Oops'. They had long since disappeared.

‘It’s a shame, I was wondering what he looked like.’

Well, it was a failure to get acquainted naturally, but it didn't make much of a difference as I'll be seeing other writers at dinner tonight anyway.

‘I don’t know if the writers will ask me to sign autographs.’

I looked around once.

OK.

Busy editors and writers chatting in the common room. And I caught my eye on the people in the writing room pounding their keyboards like crazy.

Looking at them, it was like waiting for the draw day with lottery tickets that were sure to win.

But then.

belt-dong- belt-dong-

A loud noise was heard.

The culprit is right there.

[globian continued]

[Out of Office Text 3]

'Huh? What's going on?'

Were you a person who usually didn't send more than one or two messages?

I checked the text message sent by the CEO.

OK.

[CEO Kim, have you seen this?]

[http://www.whani.co.kr/arti/society/area/851721.html]

[Writer Shin Kyung-seung, this human being has been doing strange things for a while, and it seems he has finally become senile.]

It was an incredibly aggressive word considering the character of the CEO who has always been there.

I tilted my head and clicked the link sent by the next representative.

[Senior writer Shin Kyung-seung 'The Nobel Prize in Literature comes out only when the corruption in the paragraph is cleared.']

An article from the Hangule newspaper, famous for its provocative articles, caught my eye.

'Well? It doesn't look like anything, but why?'

Well, it was a bit funny to say that the words that the corruption should be liquidated came out of the mouth of ‘the’ Shin Seung-seung, but the words themselves were not wrong.

Because I also agreed that the absurdities in the paragraph should be eradicated.

However?

As soon as I scrolled down, I could see why the CEO Lee Yeong had said that.

[…] It is safe to say that the current Korean literary scene is being moved by a gang of undue powers… ]

[…] For this reason, it can be seen that it is not uncommon for a substandard work to receive a literary award. For example, in the case of the 'J Literary Award' hosted by 'Company M', one of the leading publishing houses in Korea, works below the level are decided by the rogue forces, led by 'B writer'... ]

[…] In order to liquidate these evils, it is necessary to break down the unjust hereditary structure of paragraph power. If not... ]

Huh, is this yangban really senile?
