Jin Jingcheng said: "Yes, I want to sign you into my company. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force it."

Kong Zhiyong asked: "Can you ask why you signed me as a writer?"

Kim Jong-sung responded frankly: "I can answer your question frankly. First of all, signing a contract will create benefits for my company. This time your novel "The Furnace" is very popular and has gained a lot of fame. And I can conclude that after the "The Furnace" movie is released in the future, you will become the most popular contemporary traditional literary writer in South Korea. But this is not the point. The key is that I personally appreciate you very much. If you sign you into my company, I can promote you well in the future, so that you can get more works to pay attention to, and even promote you overseas, and achieve greater achievements."

Kong Jiyong said "Oh", she didn't think that Jin Jingcheng was a polite word. Although she had not known Jin Jingcheng for a long time, she had already developed a certain trust in Jin Jingcheng, and she didn't think that someone like Jin Jingcheng had to deceive her, a traditional literary writer.

"Will there be many restrictions on me on the contract?" Kong Zhiyong asked.

Kong Zhiyong knew that there are some popular novel writers in South Korea, and young literary writers signed contracts with companies, such as Cute Tao. The contracts of these writers are more demanding, while there are many TV drama screenwriters, and movie screenwriters also signed contracts with companies, and the contracts of these screenwriters are also more demanding. This is also a bad phenomenon in South Korea. The contracts signed by literary and artistic people with companies are more demanding than other countries, especially artist idols.

However, Kong Zhiyong is a traditional literary writer who writes traditional literary works. Korean writers have hardly signed contracts with companies because such writers generally have little commercial value and do not generally need to sign contracts with companies.

If it weren't for Jin Jingcheng to sign the contract this time, but if it were someone else, Kong Zhiyong would probably refuse immediately. Kong Zhiyong did not refuse out of admiration and trust for Jin Jingcheng, but if there were many restrictions on the contract, she would not want to.

Jin Jingcheng said: "Don't worry, the contract will give you enough freedom. If you are willing to sign the contract, I will show you the contract first. If you have any dissatisfaction, as long as it does not violate the company's principles, you can modify it according to what you said."

Kong Zhiyong hesitated for a moment: "Okay, Mr. Jin Jingcheng, I believe in you."

Jin Jingcheng said: "There is one more thing, now I want to ask for your opinion."

Kong Zhiyong asked: "What's the matter?"

Jin Jingcheng said: "Do you know the literary magazine "j-young Literature"?"

Kong Zhiyong said: "Of course I know that this is a very popular youth literature magazine now. It is a magazine under your company. Don't think I am old, but I also like this youth literature magazine. I have also ordered this magazine. Not only can I understand the trend of youth literature in our country through this magazine, but I also discovered some young talents who write. Once I recommended a short story from this magazine to reprint it on the novel selection."

Kim Jong-sung said: "Well, that's right. I plan to create another book called "j-young Literature". "j-young Literature" is a youth literature magazine. I positioned the magazine "j-young Literature" as a large-scale pure literature magazine, publishing works by contemporary traditional Korean literary writers, including novels, novellas, short stories, prose essays, film scripts, reportage, poetry, etc., adhere to the pure literature position, with a simple and elegant style, facing reality, innovating, and striving to make it a representative pure literature magazine in Korea."

Kong Zhiyong became curious: "Oh? Why did you suddenly want to start such a pure literature magazine? You know, nowadays, the survival of literary magazines in our country is getting more and more difficult, and some old literary magazines are even forced to stop publishing due to extremely poor sales. Youth literature magazines like j-young Literature and Art are mainly about youth literature, and the editor-in-chief Yao Yihan is very good at operating this magazine, which has led to its sales continue to hit new highs. But if it is a large pure literature magazine, it is difficult to achieve higher sales."

Kong Zhiyong is a professional writer. He often contributes and publishes works in Korean literary journals. He is very familiar with the situation of Korean literary journals. What she is talking about is the truth. Nowadays, Korean literary journals are becoming more and more difficult and fewer, so that many writers like Kong Zhiyong have nowhere to publish their works.

This is also a global trend. This is true in China, Russia, the United States, Britain, and France. China's literary journals are becoming more and more difficult to survive. Only a very small number of famous literary journals such as "Novel Monthly". More literary journals are either struggling to maintain their operations or are using official money to maintain their operations. Even the United States will close many literary journals every year.

Jin Jingcheng said: "I founded such a large pure literature magazine not to make money. The founding of this magazine is because I am interested in literature, and secondly, I want to provide traditional literary writers with a platform to display their works, which can also make them more income. I will set a high standard for royalties for this magazine. Thirdly, I hope this magazine can explore and cultivate a new generation of writers."

There is another thing that Kim Jingcheng didn't say, that is, he also wants to make a move in the Korean literary world now. Who said that it is not possible? Kim Jingcheng knows that in the future, some good movies in South Korea are adapted from novels by traditional literary writers. But Kim Jingcheng founded "j-young Literature" this time, which can build a bridge between Kim Jingcheng and Korean traditional literary writers. Not making money? Kim Jingcheng doesn't think that he can explore and train a group of writers through "j-young Literature", and even specifically promote it, allowing j-young fashion and culture company to publish the works of these writers. When encountering suitable ones, he can invest and adapt them into movies.

This involves commercial secrets, and Jin Jingcheng didn't tell Kong Zhiyong directly.

Kong Zhiyong is a powerful writer and is not good at business. When he heard what Jin Jingcheng said, he immediately praised: "Mr. Jin Jingcheng, I am so happy that you have this kindness. Yes, now many traditional literary writers lack a platform to display their works. Life is very difficult. There are also some new generation writers with great potential that have been buried. You are doing something very meaningful."

Jin Jingcheng said: "So, are you willing to be the editor-in-chief of this magazine?"

Kong Zhiyong was surprised: "Me?"

Jin Jingcheng said: "Yes, I believe you have the ability to do this editor-in-chief well."

This time Kong Zhiyong was a little excited. Don’t think that she didn’t care about fame and fortune at all. In fact, she also cared a little.
