NOVEL NEXT chapter 28
28 – Example (3)
Guided by Ara’s hand, we arrived at Gangnam.
Even though I was dragged by her hand and came by car.
I used to live only in the outskirts
I never thought I would come to such a sparkling place.
There is a reason why Gangnam is called Gangnam.
My head nodded automatically.
Ara looks at me like that and
He said she was cute and stroked her head.
“Is this your first time coming to Gangnam, Seonghwan?”
“Because there was no reason to come.”
When I was in that world, I was busy going to school and working part-time.
Even after coming to this world, I was busy going to school and working part-time…
Nothing has changed as much as I thought.
Oh, by the way, I stopped working at the convenience store.
Rather, I should say that I was fortunate that the store manager apologized and spoke to me first.
As Ara said, it was not good for both me and the store manager.
He smiled wryly, saying that sales would fall, but he was trying to save the damp atmosphere for no reason.
It must have been a joke…
Ara imitates the speaking style of the MC of an old remodeling program.
Introducing the building we are standing in.
“This is our agency.”
She dropped off Ara before she parked, so she looked up once.
Should I say that it looks like the buildings of IT companies in Pangyo?
It was a large, square building.
I guess you have to do this to become one of the top 3 in the industry.
I didn’t express it outwardly, but I was very impressed.
“There was a rumor that most of the shares in this company belonged to Ara…?”
“hehehe. Your older sister is pretty good.”
“That’s right.”
No matter what anyone says, he is a world star.
What kind of person could criticize Ara?
Ara pushed her chest forward and stroked her head, feeling confident.
“Seo…Seonghwan, you can’t pat your head outside!”
“You stroked my sister.”
“Are men and women the same?”
What’s different?
She tilted her head and made an expression of uncertainty.
Ara’s face turned a little red.
“It’s not fashionable… A woman who gets patted on the head by a man on the street…”
“Is it just cute?”
“…The only people who say that are men like you.”
Why are there so many male idol fans and so many female idol fans?
This is because they are attracted to the opposite s*x.
Maybe that’s why seeing same-s*x lovemaking only makes me feel bad.
They say it doesn’t look good.
Definitely.
I also don’t want to see men smiling and acting cute.
Wow…
“Really?”
“Yes… I think I know what it means.”
Perhaps it was good that she understood, she smiled and held out her hand.
I said with a bitter smile that there was nothing I could do and took his hand.
***
Come up and take a look inside the agency.
We are waiting for the CEO in the reception room on the top floor.
When signing a contract with a new talent at such a large company, does the CEO come out in person?
“That can’t be possible, right? He’s coming out because he’s Seonghwan.”
Well, that can’t be possible.
The CEOs of entertainment companies are usually famous singers or
They are actors and actresses.
It would be close to impossible for people like that to take the time to deal with newcomers.
But that kind of person is on the weekend.
And he showed up at work on Sunday because of me.
I’m not even a celebrity, I’m just an aspiring creator.
“The CEO said that he would reach 10 million subscribers soon?”
“Ah, 10 million is possible for something like a kids channel or a block game channel.”
The cooking channel exceeds 10 million viewers.
It would be impossible unless it were a cartoon-like world where 90% of the population is crazy about cooking.
“Well, if you create a channel, you’ll understand, right?”
Ara laughed as if teasing me.
I’m starting to not be able to tell if it’s serious or a joke.
Because Ara’s words are absolutely correct, she is somehow intrigued.
I feel bitter because I feel like I’m drinking kimchi soup first for no reason.
We’ve been having a pointless conversation for a while.
Someone opened the door and came in.
She tied her black hair neatly into a ponytail, just like Ara.
She was a woman wearing a black suit and glasses that looked like she had taken some care.
Is she a consulting attorney or something?
The intellectual atmosphere is no joke.
“Hello, this is CEO Lee Min-jeong. Is this your first time meeting you?”
“Ah..Hello. I’m Seonghwan Yoo.”
She got up and lowered her head.
I never thought it would be the CEO.
I couldn’t even imagine.
How on earth can you think that person with that appearance is the CEO?
And because the CEO held out his hand first,
As if responding, he received a handshake with both hands.
“Actually, I have some work to do starting tomorrow, so I have to go down to the countryside.
You’re newly married, so maybe it’s okay to interrupt your date time.”
“Uh… Sister…! What are you talking about!”
“Ara too… I wonder where I caught such a wonderful man… I brag about it through text messages every day…”
“Shh! Won’t you be quiet?!”
Ara ran out and covered the CEO’s mouth.
The CEO was full of smiles and was trying to make fun of someone by somehow getting out of there.
It looks like Ara couldn’t withstand her power.
“What are you embarrassingly saying in front of your husband!!”
“No, actually, when she saw her husband bragging like that, she did it because she wanted to make fun of him.”
“Don’t you have any sense of respect?! What does a woman do in front of a man…!”
Are you listening to Ara’s advice or not?
I was surprised to see the representative ignoring her while blowing his nose.
I never thought there would be someone who could make fun of Ara like this.
Since she was the CEO, I thought she was a hard person.
She was just a very close sister.
As she watches the two fight, her heart warms.
Ara and her representative, who were dancing wildly,
We finally signed a peace agreement and took our seats.
These people, in front of other people
We fought for 10 minutes while holding my cheek…
Still, I guess I was embarrassed.
Her face blushed a little and she cleared her throat.
Without making eye contact with her, I looked down at the tablet PC I had used earlier.
It looks like something is being prepared.
“First of all, this is the contract that Seonghwan will write.”
What the CEO presented was not a paper contract, but a tablet PC.
What is it? These days, do they give you a tablet PC as part of the contract?
Tilt your head and make an expression like you don’t know what’s going on
When Ara prodded her side, he put his mouth to her ear.
‘It’s an electronic contract. If you write it here, we will print it out and give it to you later.’
Aha.
I finally understood
I received a tablet PC and read it one by one.
“Creators join MCN as channel and content owners…
The company has sole and exclusive business rights related to the creator’s content….
A channel is a channel that is legally owned by the creator or can be managed and controlled during the contract period.
Refers to the public transmission distribution channel of content, including SNS and mobile broadcasting…”
To put it simply,
Of course, the owner of the channel is myself, the creator.
The company has exclusive business rights over this.
This applies not only to QTube channels, but also to SNS.
The company manages most of the areas I engage in on the Internet.
“If you look at the provisions here, does it mean that profits, etc., Will be transferred to the company’s channels?”
“Yes, that’s right. Divide Seonghwan’s channel’s revenue into proportions and then
Seonghwan’s share excludes taxes and other things.
The money will be deposited into your personal account.”
“Aha… Actually, I don’t know any of that.”
“Because the company exists for those people.”
The CEO smiled brightly.
The contract wasn’t bad.
No, it could be said to be a convenience.
Considering that there have been incidents where channels were taken away from MCN.
To the point where I laugh bitterly.
Ara also read them one by one next to me.
His expression seemed a little brighter.
Yes.. I could see it.
It is past tense because it suddenly got dark.
“Sister, for some reason, this contract seems very different from the contract I signed?”
“That…That…”
“It’s the same with the profit settlement ratio… When I signed the contract, there was a disclaimer clause, but it’s not here?”
It seems that the conditions are so good that even world star Ara feels jealous.
Ara came carrying her tablet PC that was placed on her table.
She read down again.
“10:0….”
I almost burst into laughter.
What kind of agency is a rookie…
No, this kind of profit distribution is for newbies who do not have a channel yet.
A contract was signed.
From what I heard, the 8:2 ratio is common for rookies.
It is said that 9:1 is the norm for already established Qtubers.
Isn’t this a reverse slave contract?
MCN will handle everything, including tax processing, editing, and attracting advertisements.
There won’t be any profit?
“There’s no profit! If I bring you in, it’s obvious that the CEO of MCN will be sitting on a deep pocket.
If you were here, do you think there would be one or two Q-Tubers who would want to come?”
“hahahahaha! Seonghwan, hurry up and sign! Come on!”
I dodged around Ara who was attacking me and threw her touch pen at me.
The touch pen landed gently on my palm.
As if it were fate, my hand held the touch pen
I started drawing signs on my tablet PC.
“Don’t change your mind, tell me quickly. I will renew your contract.”
“Uh huh! I brought in a little boy who used to post music on my blog and raised him!”
“That’s that, and this is this!”
“She doesn’t have anything to give you anymore?! She even gave me all the stocks!”
“That’s true, but…”
Ara looked like she had been attacked and sunk.
Come to think of it, this company is a large corporation.
I received all the shares of the CEO of a large company.
It won’t be a penny or two.
It’s amazing that he gives that and maintains his position as CEO, but…
It would have been possible because Ara is the largest shareholder, right?
The representative confirmed that I had finished signing.
He grabbed the tablet PC and held it up as if it were some kind of holy grail.
Looking at that, Ara snorted her laughter.
I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“This is the end of the contract. Now, can you at least talk about filing a complaint?”
“That’s right, that’s right, I forgot.”
The atmosphere, which had been distracting until recently, suddenly became sharper.
‘Finally, here’s the point’
What does it feel like?
