What?

Is this enough?

Compensation finalized? Are you going to send the money right away?

Hearing what Zhang Ye said, the young man from the publisher was also stunned for a moment, "Huh? Oh, okay."

He really didn't expect that Zhang Ye would agree to compensate so readily without even counter-offering. This was something he couldn't imagine. He had dealt with so many copyright disputes and legal matters for publishing houses, and there had never been one such incident. It was such a happy day today. When he called, he sounded very harsh and said all the ugly things. He was a lawyer and sued him in court. He just guessed that Zhang Ye would not compensate him. So he first adopted a very strong attitude, but who expected the result to be like this, the young man couldn't help but feel furious in his heart.

Could it be a scam?

Could it be perfunctory?

The young man immediately found the leader of the publishing house.

Zhang Kui, the editor-in-chief of Beijing Education Press, was personally responsible for this matter. When he heard what the young man said, he didn't quite believe it, "Zhang Ye really said that?"

The young man smiled bitterly, "Yes, they are all the exact words."

Zhang Kui frowned, "You didn't even pay back the price?"

The young man replied, "He asked how much it would cost, and he immediately agreed without even a second's hesitation."

"Okay, then go ahead and make the contract, list out the breach of contract clauses, and send it to Zhang Ye." Zhang Kui was also unsure and hesitant.

A female deputy editor-in-chief in the room said: "Our publishing house has offended Zhang Ye very badly this time. In fact, "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" and those fairy tales did not lose money. Not only did they not compensate, they also made money for our publishing house. Although all Zhang Ye's books have been removed from the shelves, there will definitely be losses in subsequent sales, and the books that have been printed will not be processed. However, books such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" were all put on the shelves last year, and the market is almost saturated. Even if Continuing to sell on the shelves will just make a little more money, but it doesn't really matter."

A person in charge of a publishing house next to him said: "It's nothing but a loss. This is all public money, and there must be an explanation for the contract."

The female deputy editor said: "I originally thought that Zhang Ye would not agree, so we proposed a high compensation price to leave room for bargaining after the lawsuit. It would be great to be able to compensate one million in the end, but what about Zhang Ye? Did you think so? Just agreed directly? In this way, our publishing house would appear to be a bad person.

"

She is more emotional and feels uncomfortable. When Zhang Ye chose their publishing house to publish, the buyout price was only 6 million. After excluding taxes, it was just over 5 million. This time, Zhang Ye was asked to pay back three dollars in compensation. One and a half million? After folding it back, it means that the copyright of Zhang Ye's novels and fairy tales was almost given to their publisher for free. The sales volume of "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" quickly exceeded one million and two million. I don't know how many colleagues in the industry envied them. Those publishing houses that wanted Zhang Ye's copyright refused to come because the first publishing house that contacted Zhang Ye was They have been cooperating since then, and Zhang Ye also trusts them.

But now, she felt helpless about this matter and the publisher's decision. She always felt that when Teacher Zhang Ye was in the most difficult time, they stabbed Zhang Ye in the back again, adding insult to injury.

Zhang Kui, the editor-in-chief, actually felt a little bit uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, he stopped thinking about it. If it were other writers, they would definitely not be so offended. A publishing house relies on writers to survive. Especially some best-selling authors are the object of competition among publishing houses, but Zhang Ye is different. As soon as the Radio and Television Document No. 43 was released, everyone knew that Zhang Ye was completely finished, and his books would never be able to be published in the future. It’s published, it’s useless to change the pen name, it’s useless no matter how good the writing is, because the blocking order is there, the General Administration of Press and Publication has long merged with the Radio and Television, and although there are some internal differences between the two teams after the merger, they are now the same A team has been set up, and the top management unit of their publishing house has spoken. The people below them have to respond, so this is the reason for the request for compensation.

But three and a half million is indeed a bit harsh.

But about an hour later, after the contract was sorted out, Zhang Ye's liquidated damages of 3.5 million yuan were credited to the publisher's account as promised.

The female deputy editor was silent.

Zhang Kui and several other people in charge of the publishing house are not in a good mood for some reason. Three and a half million can do a lot for the publishing house and they have bought the copyrights of many books. But for some reason, they just can't laugh. .

The same scene happened at another publishing house.

This is the headquarters of North China Children's Publishing House. Zhang Ye also published an anthology here, called "Collected Works of Zhang Ye". The price was not high, but not too little. At this moment, this anthology was naturally ordered to be removed from the shelves. , all major bookstores have removed the books from the shelves for returns. Only some small bookstores have not yet implemented the policy, and there are delays one by one. It is estimated that the Collected Works of Zhang Ye will be removed from the shelves one after another in the afternoon or tomorrow.

The person who called Zhang Ye was not the leaders he had met at the publishing house before, but an editor he had never met. Those people who had met Zhang Ye were probably too embarrassed to tell him in person. .

The male editor told Zhang Ye about this, and then hesitated for a long time before he proposed compensation for breach of contract, just like Jingcheng Education Press.

Zhang Ye said: "How much?"

The male editor hesitated, "This..."

"It doesn't matter, just say it." Zhang Ye said.

The male editor said: "Actually, we have no choice. We have to account for public money, otherwise we will have to take responsibility if we investigate it. So what, Teacher Zhang, I feel a little embarrassed to bring this up at this time. Well, the compensation is about 70,000 yuan. In fact, it is not compensation for breach of contract. It is a sum of money for the books that were returned to us. It is not the sales price, but calculated based on the cost price. The leader said, if you think it is inappropriate, you will be compensated. Forget it, we don’t have much money, so it’s not a big deal. Let’s go through the procedures here and fill in the accounts ourselves. It should be okay. Well, that’s what the leader means anyway, I’m just a messenger.”

Compared with Jingcheng Publishing House, North China Children's Publishing House still has some restraint and does not do things so absolutely.

Zhang Ye said without saying a word, "Okay, I'll send you the money right away."

The male editor hurriedly said: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang. What I say below does not represent our publishing house. It is what I say to you personally. I have always been your fan. I particularly like your novels and poems. What happened this time is indeed true." Damn it, I support you anyway and I believe you won’t end like this.”

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Thank you, friend."

When the male editor heard this, he thought of the scene today in the library building where he watched the staff throw down the "Collected Works of Zhang Ye" one by one from the shelves, and his heart suddenly became very sad. That was his favorite collection. It was a collection of essays and poems that he read every day. "Teacher Zhang Ye, we should thank you for bringing us so many classic and great works."

Later, the relevant personnel also communicated with Zhang Ye about the movie "Martial Arts", which Zhang Ye once starred in. Although the movie has been shown on the big screen, if it is shown on TV in the future, there will be a lot of questions about the little Zhang Ye. The film crew will delete relevant scenes of supporting characters appropriately, so that Zhang Ye can be mentally prepared. Of course, Zhang Ye was mentally prepared and said that he understood.

Program deletion

Novel removed from shelves

movie deleted

Advertising rectification

Extraction of lecture videos

All works about Zhang Ye cannot escape the disaster

To describe Zhang Ye's current situation with nothing is undoubtedly the most appropriate word.

The more desperate the situation, the more uncharacteristically Zhang Ye's state became. He chuckled, and his heart changed from anger to depression, from depression to calmness, and from calmness to relaxation.

Delete them all

Take them all off the shelves

The most difficult despair is nothing more than this
