Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 30 Increased Royalty Requirements

Driving Yukio Tanaka's sixth-generation crown, Hideki Hanyu went straight to the Shogakukan.

Although the car drives well, he really doesn't like its appearance. When the next batch of royalties arrives, he might as well buy a car he likes.

Hideki Hanyu is thinking about using a car more and more, thinking about buying a car.

Keiko Matsuzaka, who was sitting next to her, was thinking about how to answer the question after being exposed by the media.

There is also Songzhu Yinghua, although the manager already knew about her relationship, but after all, there was no formal communication. Seeing that the relationship between the two is going to be exposed, they still need to be notified.

Hanyu Hideki saw that Matsuzaka Keiko was silent, and thought he had some scruples, so he tried to ask, "It's really not possible, I'll send Keiko back first."

Matsuzaka Keiko shook her head and said, "No need, I was thinking about other things."

"Okay." Hanyu Hideki shrugged indifferently.

Thinking about it carefully, even if it is exposed, it is not a big deal, it is just a relationship, not a marriage, and he is a writer, and he is not an idol whose fans will die if he discloses his relationship.

After parking the car in the parking lot of the Shogakukan, Hanyu Hideki got out of the car and was held by Matsuzaka Keiko's arm, and they walked into the Shogakukan building together.

Soon he found that there were already people around who saw them and whispered in surprise, obviously recognizing them.

In fact, if you want to change places, it is estimated that at most you will recognize Matsuzaka Keiko, and there will not be too many people who can recognize him at a glance.

Although he was very popular some time ago, he hadn't appeared in public for more than ten days, and his popularity had long since dropped.

After all, he is a writer, not the kind of star who shows his face on the TV media all day long. The ones who really know him are probably those housewives who like him.

But this is the primary school building, which can be regarded as his half base camp, the staff should not be too familiar with him, it is not surprising that they can recognize him.

Facing the comments from the people around her, Keiko Matsuzaka showed a calm and generous demeanor.

Not only did the woman not care about the gazes of the people around her, but she also leaned close to Hideki Hanyu's ear from time to time, asking some questions about the Shogakukan.

In this way, the two came all the way to Eri Kitahara's office, and when she opened the door and entered, Eri Kitahara was still immersed in her work.

"Kitahara-san, here I come."

"Hanyu-san, Tetsuko's room promotion effect is very good. TV Asahi said that the ratings are very good, only one percent less than last month's interview with Miura Yukazu. The sales of the little goldfish escaped..."

Eri Kitahara raised her head halfway through her words, and when she saw the two people in front of her, she suddenly froze, unable to keep her mouth shut in surprise.

"Matsuzaka Keiko, my girlfriend."

"Eri Kitahara, my manager at the Shogakukan and a good friend of mine."

Hideki Hanyu introduced the two to each other.

"Hello, Kitahara-san." Matsuzaka Keiko greeted with a smile.

"You... hello, Matsuzaka-san."

Eri Kitahara obviously hasn't recovered from her surprise, after saying hello, she looked at Hideki Hanyu with a look of what's going on.

It's only been ten days since we saw each other, and Hideki Hanyu has found a big star to be his girlfriend, no wonder he couldn't call her yesterday.

If Hideki Hanyu was the only one, she would definitely tease him a few words.

"Okay, let's have dinner together when we have time, let's talk about business first."

Although he has a good relationship with Eri Kitahara, he doesn't like friends involving his personal feelings, so he changed the subject.

"Well, this is the reprinted contract that the little goldfish escaped, and the reprinted copy is still [-] copies."

Hideki Hanyu picked up the contract and casually flipped through it, then stamped it.

"We will transfer the royalties to Yunshang Culture's account soon. Doesn't it mean that there are new works?"

"Here, this is it."

Hideki Hanyu took out a new work and handed it to Eri Kitahara, which was created last week when he was preparing for the painting on the cloud.

"Who ate it?" Megumi Kitahara called out the name of the picture book.

"Tell Kitahara-san to the editorial department. If there is no problem, I will sign the publishing contract."

Speaking of this, Hideki Hanyu's tone changed, "I want a 13.00% royalty share for this first print, and 15.00% for more than [-] copies. It's best to tell Minister Imai in advance."

He asked for an increase in royalties with confidence. In less than three months, the two picture books have printed 20 copies. Who has the sales volume of a picture book author who is full of neon.

Even if he has the right to issue first, there is no reason for him to suffer.

"Okay, I see. If the new picture book goes well, it should be released in two weeks. There may be a signing event at that time. It's best for Hanyu-san to set aside time."

Eri Kitahara didn't care about Hanyu Hideki's request for a higher share, that was something that Minister Imai should worry about, she was only in charge of spreading the word.

"Let's talk about it then, I'll go first, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, they pulled Keiko Matsuzaka, who was obviously bored, and the two left the elementary school.

On the way back, Hanyu Hideki asked Matsuzaka Keiko, "Are you bored?"

"So it's the first time I've seen a writer sign a contract."

"Aren't you a little disappointed? Writers will also bargain for a little money."

"Xiu Shu-kun, if that counts as a little money, then we actors won't make any money at all."

Keiko Matsuzaka bought a picture book by Hideki Hanyu, and the unit price was 1250 yen. According to the royalty share requested by Hideki Hanyu just now, and the number of first prints, it was more than 800 million yen if you calculate it casually.

All the movies she has made since her debut, the sum of her salary is not as much as Hanyu Hideki's picture book.

At first, I just thought that I found a younger brother to fall in love with, but who would have thought that he would be a rich younger brother.

But that's it, even if you are a girlfriend, it's not good to go deep into your lover's financial affairs.

So Matsuzaka Keiko quickly chatted about other things, "Hideki-kun, I want to know how I found my car at Fuji Terrace that night."

"Well, because I have a friend at Fuji Terrace, I asked him to check the records of entering and leaving the parking lot."

Who else could Hideki Hanyu have as a friend at Fujidai, of course Koichi Koichi.

This person made achievements by relying on the live broadcast of the awards. His flexible and unscrupulous methods won the appreciation of Fuji TV's senior management, and he was very successful in the production department.

Therefore, Koichi Koichi was somewhat grateful to Hideki Hanyu who had indirectly helped him, and naturally he would not refuse Hideki Hanyu's small request.

"So that's how it is. I really want to listen to Hideki-kun's song that night again."

Keiko Matsuzaka thought of that song again.

"Then I'll sing to Qingzi next time. It's getting late. I know there's a very good wagyu restaurant. Why don't we go have dinner together?"

"Okay, Hideki-kun, do you like beef?"

"That's right, my favorite food is beef."

"Then what color does Hideki-kun like?"

"It's blue."

……

Asking questions one after another, a woman in love is always extremely curious about her lover.

　Speaking of writing a little indirect description, it will be automatically harmonized, and several sentences have been changed beyond recognition. Fortunately, I checked, and the words "a shy voice sounded in the room" will be deleted. I still think this is really true Strictly, brothers, it is too difficult to start the car now.
