Lee Tae-hyo was holding a book between his arms in a suit, and he had just walked out of the bookstore in Myeongdong, and he habitually looked up to see that the sky was crimson because of the setting sun, and the white clouds were rendered and colored like white paper, and they bloomed like waves. He was in a lonely mood, walked to a coffee shop and sat in the corner by the window, quietly putting down his newly bought book.

"Time: Reminiscences of Youth"!

As one of the three major newspapers in South Korea and the second largest newspaper in South Korea, he was recently severely criticized by the editor-in-chief. Since his press release for the novel "Time" and the author, his otherwise peaceful life like a stream has been thrown into a huge pebble.

His article has gone viral on the Internet recently, and his views on his disregard for facts, lack of rigor, and bias have drawn criticism from many netizens. "Dong-A Daily" is the newspaper with the highest negative rating among the three major newspapers recently, and Lee Tae-hyo has contributed nearly half of it, which can be described as a high degree of hard work!

The criticism continued in his many later accolades, and Mr. Lee was tempted to ignore the heated online comments, but apparently his boss cared about it, and he recently published an apology in the newspaper. This post-70s editor, who can't put down the novels of traditional writers, really didn't expect to come to this point.

Lee Tae-hyo is just a little unhappy with the recent popularity of "Time", especially the brain-dead rice who was still physically published is the best work of the year, a little-known newcomer, wrote his first novel, and then was praised so highly, he was a little angry in his heart, but at that time it was mainly with curiosity.

But it didn't take long for one after another seniors in the literary world to bubble up and comment on "Time", with few praises, and bad comments like "not too high literary value" or even "no literary value" hit like a tide, especially the old-timers who Lee Tae-hyo had interviewed and whose articles were also very good rarely spoke out to deny this work, and he immediately followed his ass.

Although he is only one of the combatants gathered under the command of this group of old-timers, he is known as the pioneer officer, and the way he responds can be called a different way, they are all noisy on the Internet, and he is stunned to move this contradiction to the physical newspaper! Even the readers of "Time" are surprised by his somewhat brainless way of jumping, hey, I don't know that the newspaper has your signature?

So, on the first day of the newspaper, his CY blog page, which only had the attention of dozens of people, was blown up by hundreds of angry readers. Then, with the announcement of the number of "Time", his existence became more and more like a clown jumping beam, and this hustle and bustle reached its highest in early October.

The weekly sales figures in the Feier area finally came to fruition on October 3 - 80,000!

How hard are books to sell? It's almost as difficult as a record career that will be removed from the shelves in just two or three months, and is deeply impacted by online music sources! In the 90s, there were not a few genuine record sales exceeding one million, such as the love song emperor Shin Seung-hoon, who was the only singer who sold more than one million records after his debut, and was known as a national singer! This person not only sings well, but also has great talent, not to mention all his songs, and the total sales of his six albums exceed 10 million! is comparable to the status of the Chinese singer Jacky Cheung, of course, the latter's genuine record sales exceeded 100 million, and Michael Jackson is even more remarkable in the world.

At that time, there was no such thing as a sound source, and there were no singles and A and B versions on the record, and those numbers were real. Like today's singers selling a record, it is difficult for the A version, B version and C version to have 500,000 genuine sales, and they are willing to pay for the three versions of aBc, and they are very fanatical.

Although the impact of the Internet on physical books is not as exaggerated as that of the record industry, the recent statistics are not fake, and the average Korean household spends less on books a year than in previous years. This is an era of rampant Internet, any word can be found out by tapping the keyboard on the network, although fast is its advantage, but there are many disadvantages, take the computer and you may not be able to write the words recognized by typing the keyboard, so in the face of such a decline, government departments have been pushing the purchase of books in the past two years, and a few books do benefit from such a policy.

The government does not deliberately distinguish between traditional literature and youth literature when it recommends people to buy books, those are all nonsense, and books with potential are the last word! A book that teaches English words not only sells more than one million in China, but also sells well overseas, such as China, Singapore and so on.

Now the watch of "Time" has such potential! The national sales volume is close to 120,000 in the week, the online pre-order is as high as more than 80,000, and the online order week is as high as more than 20,000 copies, totaling more than 220,000 copies! Books and records are selling in the same vein, and the sales are getting lower the further they go, which of course excludes the possibility of some kind of stimulus causing an anomaly. After all, some works with annual sales in South Korea can be released every year, and the difference between selling books and records is in time, which is somewhat similar to the records sold in Europe and the United States.

But for a rookie author, Zhou Quanguo's sales of more than 200,000 are particularly good, and compared with the works of the same period, there is a bit of a unique taste, although the book "Time" has a great reputation before it is published. The entertainment industry pushes books, which is really a rare thing.

This hot number came to Li Taixiao, how ugly and ugly the face was, this is not a slap in the face! What's the state of the economy lately? The financial crisis that broke out in the United States in September has caused a lot of turmoil in South Korea, the number of unemployed people is rising sharply in recent days, the exchange is in darkness, and everyone is in danger.

Lee Tae-hyo knew that the general trend had come, and this book brought him the most difficult and unforgettable September in his life, and his job bowl now seemed shaky. But the feeling of disdain for this work from the beginning, the previous disgust turned ninety degrees, and the curiosity is not comparable, what is the book that is becoming more and more intense? The reader was right, he hadn't read the book at all.

The price of 60 won for that section has long been closed on the Internet, and now if you want to read the book "Time", people who did not subscribe at the beginning can only buy it for 8,000 won out of their pockets. Before publication, it costs only 6,000 won to subscribe to the Internet and read it.

Li Taixiao never thought about the object of his poisonous tongue, and now he wants to provide him with a copy of sales, and his life is really thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

Lee Tae-hyo ordered a cappuccino, sat quietly in his place, and slowly opened the beautifully packaged book—Chapter 1, Section 1......

The twilight outside the glass window unconsciously deepened, and at one moment, two figures walked happily past this side. A man and a woman, the girl pulled a tall man, and the joy on her face filled the arc of the smile.

Su Yeong-hyuk got the first copyright income in October, 100 million won! The whole family said they were shocked, the novel has only been published for a week, and the income is so high? Is this how it makes money to write novels now? The Su family's parents can only say that they know little about computers, and they don't know what hype or hot discussions are.

People say that the successive tweets of well-known artists in the entertainment industry are hype, but for Su Yinghe, this is just the help provided by those fresh friends with mediocre feelings, which is very warm. Then there was such a big controversy on the Internet, it was noisy and noisy, and there were bad reviews and good reviews, and I didn't want to hype it up.

Now that the results are there, it is just a mediocrity to worry about these statements, Su Yinghe's recent action to quit the Internet has a very practical effect, he is very satisfied, the idea of creation is like a spring, if it is not for the impulse according to his mind, he is afraid that he has already begun to write and constantly sketch and depict the picture in each mind.

With an income of 100 million won, plus the surplus of his part-time job during the summer vacation, he now has more than 140 million in his hands! What a real little rich man! Su Xiaomei said that she was very red-eyed, and pulled Su Yinghe to the street, when I first wrote it, I didn't help my sister, of course, I can't forget me when I make money! When their parents expressed their please, the Su brothers and sisters went to the street.

The two changed their mobile phones, not to mention, the brother also bought a few sets of clothes for the sister-in-law, silently, in the end, it is his own brother who cares about the sister!

It cost more than 5 million won to set these things, which was impossible in terms of the original family income, so even the parents who liked to see the close siblings couldn't help but be fierce when they learned about the expenses. Alas, I don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are if you don't have a family!
