A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 73
As soon as I returned home after meeting my juniors, I looked into the writing room. Last time, I found out from the level of market research, but this time with the intention of confirming.
According to the budget that I have with the storm search, the neighborhood and the number of acres were selected and selected.
There was a suitable officetel, so I contacted the real estate agent and decided to check it out the next day.
“how about it? It’s spacious.”
Standing in the living room of the officetel, the real estate agent aunt asked. There was an arrogance in his voice saying that he would not be able to find such a thing at this price anywhere else.
“It’s normal for 32 pyeong.”
He answered without hesitation. Because I didn’t want to look sloppy.
The real estate agent gave strength to his eyes and raised the tension in his voice.
“Originally, officetels are usually the living room or bedroom when you open the front door. But, as you can see, it starts with a very wide hallway. There is also a wide shoe dress next to the entrance. There is no such thing as a house like this.”
“Hmm…”
Why make a hallway? Just make the living room bigger.
Why do you need a shoe dress again? It’s better to have a bigger kitchen.
When I didn’t give any answer with a confused expression on my face, the real estate agent got even more excited.
“The living room has a large window, so it has a cool feeling of openness. If you look outside from here, you can see the city view at a glance. Wow, the sky is so clear today. It’s the perfect weather to sign a contract.”
“Are there any good days to sign a contract?”
“sure. A sunny day like this is better than a rainy day.”
chit. They said it would be good to solder again on a rainy day.
“Anyway, if you stand here in front of the window, you will immediately become a successful urbanite.”
I became a successful city dweller.
Greenery that was introduced on the Internet?
“But didn’t I say there is a green space? That’s how I saw it…”
He asked, looking thoroughly under the window.
“Will it melt?”
“yes. I liked that.”
“Oh, of course it is. Would you like to see that-uh-gi?”
I brought my eyes all the way to the place where Auntie’s finger was pointing, and the end was a small park far away.
‘OMG. Did you introduce it as a green space?’
In fact, I was prepared to be disappointed when I saw the officetel, but it was very disappointing that the green area was a lie.
Because it was the part I gave the highest score.
In the past, when I was a sub writer, I felt like I was locked in a prison cell when I locked myself in a concrete building and looked at my laptop for 10 hours.
At that time, going out to the garden and smelling the grass would be so healing.
So, the most important thing I looked for while looking for a writing room this time was whether or not there was a garden…
“That is not a green space inside an officetel. And that park is too far.”
“no. It’s actually not too far to walk. It’s a great street for exercise.”
A certified real estate agent with a smirk.
‘Ah- turn this over?’
I was very worried.
But for me, it’s been a week or two and I haven’t had time to keep selling things, so I put up with it because I thought it would be the same if I went to another place with a set budget.
I gave up on the greenery and decided to take a closer look.
“How much did you say here?”
“It’s two hundred and fifty million won. Newly built, in the center of Seoul, there is 32 pyeong. There is no such price.”
“yes? Wasn’t it 190 million won for 100 million won?”
“The stuff went out quickly. So I told you. I want to like it. I have to sign a contract. No one knows when this officetel will leave.”
It may or may not be correct.
Ah, I didn’t catch the gossip.
‘I wonder if this woman’s words are correct to some extent. I can only sign a one-year contract and move to a better place next time… First of all, I’m in a hurry…’
I was in deep trouble, and the real estate agent aunt took out a contract, a ballpoint pen, and a pad on the table.
I thought it looked like I was going to get a stamp right away.
“The officetel owner has entrusted everything to me. So sign here and start writing now. You’re in a hurry.”
Have you ever caught a hog? How do you push it so easily?
There are rumors all over the internet that the maintenance fee is expensive and the draft is severe here.
Even so, I didn’t have much of a choice.
I was too busy and I wasn’t a big jumper.
I have no choice but to pretend I can’t win and sit down at the table to sign a contract.
Wei Ying-
Short beeping vibrations.
A text message came to Han-Hyeol.
[Writer Yoon. I will go to the front of the house tomorrow morning at 10 am. The general manager gave me a strict order to drive me safely to the company car.]
[All right. Mr. Han See you tomorrow.]
It was an official promise letter to meet with Hong Da-bin, general manager tomorrow morning.
And texts between friends that lead right away.
[Where are you?]
[Looking at the officetel.]
[Get a writing room?]
[yes.]
[Hey, I told you not to stamp it the other day. Before meeting our chief.]
[Ah, it was. But why? I’m in a hurry!]
[It feels right. don’t take a picture You can take a picture after meeting the general manager tomorrow. It’s only one day. Can’t wait for that too?]
[Um… Okay.]
When your best friend does this, there must be a reason.
I suddenly lost my mind about the officetel.
“I’m sorry, but I’ll think about it some more.”
I put my phone in my pocket and walked to the front door. I was uncomfortable with something, but I thought it was better.
“Oh no, why?”
“It seems that there is no garden, and the draft is severe. The management fee is too expensive.”
“Then 2.3 million won for 100 million. how about it? I can no longer have two sides of the sky.”
“yes??”
250 to 200 million becomes 230 to 100 million in 5 minutes?
Did this lady really see me as a hogu?
“no. This house doesn’t seem right for me. Make a contract with someone else.”
I left the officetel without looking back.

The next day, Han Kyul came to pick me up in a black Benz. Wearing a neat suit.
“Writer, let’s ride.”
They asked me to open the back door as I would to the president, so I just opened the passenger door with my own hands and got on.
Gyul scratching the back of his head.
“The general manager took good care of me.”
“Just ride.”
“yes.”
depart.
The Benz was laid on the floor and glided without vibration or noise. I wanted to go to the United States with this kind of ride quality.
“You didn’t stamp yesterday, did you?”
“yes. I didn’t film it. Actually, I didn’t like the officetel, because I almost signed a contract as if I was possessed by something. I lived thanks to you.”
“I guess I got the timing right like a ghost again.”
“right. You are truly the salt of my life.”
“You mean salty?”
“I mean, it’s precious.”
𝑀𝑒𝑒
“But where are you going?”
“I do not know either. In the morning, I’m going to the address the team leader sent me, but I don’t know the specifics. It looks like a luxury house… Is it our general manager’s house?”
“Home?”
“Yeah, to show that you’re doing your best, you can invite them to your house, cook them, and show them around the house.”
“Well. It might be.”
nodded. Because General Manager Hong Da-bin always treats me with sincerity.
I was also taking the script for ＜My Client is a Girl Group＞ in return for that.
***
Where did you get off the Benz?
Well-kept gardens and city views at a glance
The headquarters of Ping Pong Plus and various broadcasting stations are not far away.
It was a luxury house in a very nice neighborhood.
‘Is this really the home of Director Hong Da-bin?’
Passing through the garden lawn and entering the open foyer,
Dabin Hong greeted me warmly.
“welcome. Author. I waited so long.”
“Yes, I’ve been too busy with opal wine.”
“Have you finished writing opal wine?”
“Okay, it’s over and there’s only a little post-production left. Well, that’s up to director Oh Sang-shik.”
“First, come in and look around the house.”
I didn’t even come here for a housewarming party.
house tour?
There’s nothing you can’t do. Because I love the house so much, my eyes go round by itself.
A clean, quiet, sensuous and sophisticated house, even if you take a rough look.
The furniture is also of high quality.
When will you live in a place like this?
When I sat on the sofa in the living room after looking at the house for a while, macaroons and black tea were prepared on the table.
The bittersweet taste was perfect for a chat.
“Writer. I was very surprised.”
“yes?”
“Opalju ratings. To be honest, I hadn’t even thought about it this far. Over 23% in 8 episodes… I think I underestimated our writer.”
“Ah yes.”
23.8% to be exact.
I just laughed lightly. Because I don’t want to be particularly humble about the right words.
Hong Da-bin continued to speak.
“Currently, the number of Ping Pong Plus users has exceeded 2.5 million. After Opalju aired, the net user increase alone exceeded 1 million.”
“Oh, is that so? But, can you just talk to me about that? What would you do if I called out the terms harder when signing the contract today?”
“Writer, what are you talking about? If you have to treat someone, it’s the right thing to do. I want to go with that author for a long time. I have no intention of ending it anytime soon between us.”
“long time?”
“yes.”
I was very curious how long it was, but I didn’t ask.
Hong Da-bin then pulls out the contract.
“Now then, shall we talk about the contract?”
“It is.”
2 billion down payment.
Wow.
I received 10 million won for opal liquor. The ransom price jumped like this in a few months.
“You haven’t even seen the synopsis yet, but the down payment is 200 million won.”
“Bacomo and opal are all you need. Besides, this drama was entrusted to us, and the airing is exclusive.”
“The manuscript fee per episode is 50 million won.”
I was very surprised inside, but I had a hard time pretending not to.
It was such an unconventional treatment that I couldn’t even say anything.
“Yes, please accept it as a sign that Ping Pong believes in Yun Jae-ho that much. We would be grateful if you would consider our Ping Pong for the fourth and fifth works.”
relaxed.
Dabin Hong laughed.
Ah, it was beautiful.
“Then shall we stamp?”
“It is.”
From the stamp, press and hold,
I handed over the synopsis of ＜My Client is a Girl Group＞ and the script up to episode 2 that I had brought.
“This?”
“This is my next project with Ping Pong.”
What does the author need to say?
only writing
“No already? How long has it been since you finished your opal week?”
“Work is fast and accurate. It’s my motto.”
This is my motto from now on.
Dabin Hong, whose face turned red with excitement, unfolded the script.
“I’ll read it for a moment.”
“However much.”
I stood at the living room window and looked out while she read the script.
Hangyul and a certain woman were sitting at the garden table, hahahaha
‘I think it’s the team leader I talked about last time.’
His confident attitude seemed capable. He looked a little younger than us.
And when I was in school, I had the impression that I would have done well in my studies and listening to my mother.
…and umm… it was beautiful.
Is this neighborhood good?
Are all women always pretty?
Without realizing it, I shake my head,
“Ha-really, what the hell is the writer?”
Dabin Hong sighs as she stares at me.
Oh, I didn’t do anything wrong.
“What am I? Maybe you don’t like the script?”
I quickly returned to the sofa.
“No, such a fascinating story. What the hell is a writer?”
Dabin Hong, approaching without a brake,
Don’t do this. I’m ashamed.
“Ah, I’m glad you liked it.”
“Really… Writer, I love it. I want to have it.”
“Uh-huh, will you take me?”
You’re just too blatant for the second meeting.
“Ho Ho.”
Dabin Hong smiles so loudly that her throat can be seen.
“no. I don’t mean that. All the stories in the writer’s head want Ping Pong.”
“Ah, yes yes. Yes. Thank you for your words.”
Feeling ashamed for nothing, I got up and bowed to say hello.
this.
“Then, writer-sama, you will know that you will be writing here from tomorrow.”
“yes? here?”
“Ah~ Author, you haven’t seen the back page of the contract yet.”
“Backside?”
Does anyone see all of them?
I hurriedly flipped through the back pages, but I still don’t know where to look.
“If you look at the provisions here, this house is supposed to be used as the writer’s writing room. As soon as the stamp is stamped, regardless of down payment or manuscript fee.”
Hong Da-bin kindly picks up that part.
There really was such a clause.
‘No matter how much Hong Da-bin is a chaebol, he can’t just receive like this. Why would you reject that? I’m dying to need the writing room right away… Yes, writers speak in writing.’
My mouth fell open for a moment, but
I just couldn’t take it.
“Chief. First of all, I don’t know what to do with the big benefits. However, in my conscience, I cannot receive this large writing room with just one drama.”
“Ai, I wrote it on the back page because I thought the writer would come out like this…”
Dabin Hong is embarrassed knowing that I will refuse.
spoke quickly. so as not to deepen the misunderstanding.
“I will also give you a present.”
“gift?”
“yes. Before the drama, let’s start with an 8-episode variety show. It could be a booster engine for increasing the number of Ping Pong Plus subscribers.”
“Wow. really?”
all of a sudden? Were you inspired?
Then I’m half-assed.
Because I was inspired too.
“really.”
ha ha ha
ho ho ho
We looked at each other and laughed for a while.
