Chapter 224: Lu Hui's Greed

On the Wasp Entertainment Company's side, if they want to praise their artists, they are still many newcomers, and for this purpose, Xu Yang can only choose the kind of youth drama with more roles in the script, just right, this drama is quite suitable.

The protagonist of the drama "Durala's Promotion" is naturally Durala.

The plot of the story is that after graduating from college, Durala entered a private enterprise to work, but was harassed by her boss, in this case, she wanted to work in a Fortune 500 company like her boyfriend, so she submitted her application materials to one of the companies.

Unexpectedly, at this time, she found out that her boyfriend was actually in love with her good friend.

Although Durala herself does not have a deep background, she has a good education, so she finally succeeded through personal struggle.

She has grown from a simple administrative assistant to a professional and capable HR director, and has seen various workplace changes and experienced various workplace trainings.

In the end, she not only got a career, but also got the love that belonged to her.

In this drama, the characters include Du Lala, her ex-boyfriend Li Hongming, her good friend Xia Hong, her current boyfriend Wang Wei, and his ex-wife Daisy, who admires Du Lala's Bole He Haode.

The reason why this drama is so popular in the original earth world is mainly because this is an inspirational drama that constantly struggles and finally becomes a "strong man", and the protagonist is still interpreted from a female perspective.

At the beginning, there were many characters in Xu Yang's "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" that Wasp Entertainment did, plus this drama, more than a dozen important roles, but it was able to give those newcomers in their company an experience all of a sudden.

......

The next day, when Xu Yang was writing the script for the third episode of "Du Lala's Promotion", he received a call from Lu Hui, who told himself that the book "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" would be officially put on sale the day after tomorrow.

Hearing this news, Xu Yang was very surprised, after all, the speed this time was too fast!

Because when he was in Kyoto, Lu Hui said that 1 million copies would be printed before they would be put on the shelves, so how could they be printed in such a short time?

After the other party's explanation, Xu Yang understood that it was not Zhicheng Publishing House that was printing, but that three publishing houses were involved, and when it was put on the shelves, it was also sold by five relatively powerful chain bookstores.

As for how to sell, Xu Yang is not interested in consulting, he only cares about what the final sales will be, and his remuneration.

However, behind Lu Hui's operation, there is a huge trap, that is, the income that Xu Yang can get will not be calculated according to the proportion of the total sales share, and the money will definitely not be less than before, but for the entire sales volume, it is only a small part.

Why is this so?

In the final analysis, the source of this matter is to blame Xu Yang for not caring about himself.

Last year, the contract signed with Zhicheng Publishing House was marked in black and white that if Xu Yang's books were printed at Zhicheng Publishing House and then put on the shelves through their publishing house's channels, they would be settled at 35% of the sales amount.

The first book "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" was operated in this way, although later, several publishing houses and bookstores also participated, but the proceeds, Xu Yang's share, Lu Hui still gave him as promised.

The second part of "The Chef of the Flower Teapot" is still the same.

However, when it came to the third part of "Xiao Li Flying Knife", due to the sudden increase in sales, at the time of the internal meeting of the publishing house, some people proposed not to give Xu Yang the other part of the income, why would they propose it like this? The reason is that it was their Zhicheng Publishing House that signed contracts with several other publishing houses and bookstores, and it was not in the name of Xu Yang, and Xu Yang signed the contract only with their Zhicheng Publishing House, and there were no other publishing houses, and their publishing houses' sales channels were shared.

To put it simply, only the part of the sales sold in the name of Zhicheng Publishing House will have Xu Yang's share, and those that are not printed and sold through their publishing house will not have it.

After all, Zhicheng Publishing House was able to stand up again, and it has today's glory, all because of Xu Yang's books, Lu Hui did not agree to everyone's proposal, and still settled these shares to Xu Yang.

However, all men are profiteering.

The extra part of the money is not a lot, there are tens of millions, Lu Hui does not have that idea in the short term, but what about the senior executives of the company under him?

Over time, Lu Hui himself didn't see Xu Yang mention the loopholes in this contract, so he indulged it, so when the fourth "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was finally settled, he did not pay Xu Yang's part of the "extra" remuneration.

To his surprise, Xu Yang didn't even ask himself, and found him in Kyoto after the year, planning to ask them Zhicheng Publishing House to print his fifth book "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower".

While apprehensive, Lu Hui said that in the end, it was extremely happy and excited!

Based on this, it was natural that he assigned the printing task to several other partners when he first started printing his new book.

Hanging up the phone, Xu Yang didn't care about this matter, except for posting a new book to be put on the shelves on his Weibo, he continued to write his new script.

Doesn't Xu Yang really know that there is a problem with his book revenue sharing? Of course not!

He discovered this problem a few years ago, but he didn't investigate it in detail, after all, he didn't get a lot of money from writing books, and it was always bad to fall out with Lu Hui for that money, after all, he was used to cooperating.

It can be seen that people's habits are also a very terrible thing.

In his heart, he felt that as long as Lu Hui didn't go too far.

It is precisely because of this that he did not regard Lu Hui as his friend, and when he went to Kyoto, the person he often found was Su Zhendong.

Only this time, Xu Yang will definitely be disappointed, because, driven by interests, Lu Hui has already begun to frantically hand over the printing task to other publishing houses, with a volume of 1 million copies, Zhicheng Publishing House only printed a mere 200,000 copies.

Can you pit Xu Yang, then don't ask, you can!

After all, the contract is there, even if it is a lawsuit, Zhicheng Publishing House will win.

In this way, Lu Hui will completely part ways with Xu Yang.

People who are blinded by interests will never understand what is the most valuable, for the money in front of them, in fact, Xu Yang is the most valuable, because, with him, there will be new books, then, there will definitely be benefits.

And without him to support the scene, can Zhicheng Publishing House still become popular, of course not!

The reason is simple, it is not credible! Likewise, it does not have enough influence!

Lu Hui himself just thinks that in addition to Xu Yang, the current Zhicheng Publishing House, there are many writers who ask their publishing house to publish books, and the reason for this is that he really forgot, the reason is nothing more than the reputation of your Zhicheng Publishing House, and if you publish books with this wind, the sales volume will be more than that of other publishing houses.

And without the influence of the key Xu Yang, who would look for you to be a publishing house that is not very outstanding?

Do you have a partner with publishers who will also ask you to share the task of printing new books?

Don't dream, they cooperate with you, just because they know that Xu Yang's book will definitely be popular, and if the book is on fire, if it is not printed, it will be a fool.

Some things can be done, some things can't be done, do things, stop in moderation, can't cross the line, this time, Lu Hui is completely over the line, and has become blatant, do you really think Xu Yang is so easy to bully?

In fact, it is very simple to ask Lu Hui to take out 35% of the total sales of books, as long as it is marked in the contract, it is signed and printed with the copyright of the book, if other publishing houses print and sell, in the end, Zhicheng Publishing House did not give, then, several other publishing houses are illegal, without seeking the copyright authorization of the writer, just arbitrarily printing and selling, which is a lawsuit.

When he signed a contract with Lu Hui, Xu Yang didn't know a lot of legal provisions very well, and no one around him reminded him, so he signed the contract in a daze, without marking this, but just said that Zhicheng Publishing House would act as a full agent, and all of a sudden, the copyright authorization was also framed.

It's just that since they all signed contracts like that before, Lu Hui didn't treat himself badly, and Xu Yang turned a blind eye.

He thinks that everyone is okay!

However, he finally forgot that in the face of interests, not everyone can resist the temptation, and the gentleman is only such a small group of people.

It can also be seen from this incident that Xu Yang sometimes really loves to believe in others too much, perhaps, when he is sold, he thinks about counting money for others, and he doesn't know it!
