Hearing this sentence, Fujioka Yasuki weighed the pros and cons.

Looking at it now, the copyright of "Detective Uemura" is indeed difficult to obtain, but "Furuhata Ren Saburo" can be obtained directly.

Although the reader base of the latter is not as good as the former, for TV dramas, all aspects must be considered, not just relying on the plot of the original book.

In addition, if he can directly sign a letter of intent with Hiroto Akihara, he only needs to discuss the details of the usage fee.There is no need to negotiate with the publishing house layer by layer.

Those complicated personnel and public relations have almost confused his head.

He thought about it, and then made a decision...

[206.2 Chapter [-] Senior Double Combination]

After making the decision, Fujioka Yasuki quickly signed the letter of intent.

After all, this contract is only a preliminary intention exploration of the two parties, and does not have strict legal effect.

In his heart, he still planned to try "Detective Uemura" first, and "Guhata Ren Saburo" as a plan B after the failure.

Hiroto Akihara also nodded with a smile, then accepted the letter of intent without saying anything.

Immediately afterwards, everyone on the field put down their work and chatted while eating.

By the time dinner was over, it was already 9:40pm.

Hiroto Akihara and Aiko Asano bid farewell to the other two, and then left the western restaurant in the business car provided by the school.

Asano Aiko sat in the passenger seat, turned her head to look at Akihara Yuto, and asked in a suspicious tone: "Akihara, don't you think it would be inappropriate for us to come to the door so proactively?"

In her opinion, that Fujioka never mentioned from the beginning to the end that the work "Furuhata Ren Saburo" should be his first choice, let alone put forward any conditions.

As the author of the original work, Hiroto Akihara, is he willing to let his work be inferior to others?

Hiroto Akihara leaned on the back of the back seat, looked at the black night scene outside the car window, and replied, "Asano, I probably know what you think, but I want to ask you, when do you think it is appropriate?"

Asano Aiko pondered for a while, and said: "I think it would be more appropriate to wait for the work of "Kohata Rensaburo" to be serialized to more than 20 issues, and then wait for the TV station to send someone to discuss it. In this case, it will be easier to negotiate the price."

Hiroto Akihara shook his head: "Asano, you are wrong. If "Detective Uemura" is really successful in film and television, then the value of "Furuhata Rensaburo" will be greatly reduced."

"Why?" Asano Aiko looked puzzled.

Hiroto Akihara adjusted his seat belt, and then explained: "Although the market for detective dramas is huge, any work should pay attention to a first-mover advantage. If "Furuhata Rensaburo" started to talk about copyright after more than 20 issues, then " Detective Uemura may have already finished one season."

"With such a season of accumulation, how can the work "Furuhata Ren Saburo" compete?"

In Akihara Hiroto's view, the essence of the two works are detective dramas in the form of fixed routines, and many plots and paths will inevitably be repeated.

Just like what Oshiro Lixiang told him, the other party has now largely started to learn from the "Ancient Hata" series about the analysis of the murderer's human nature.

If the other party's film and television adaptation is faster, it may be later, and many viewers thought that "Guhata" was copying "Detective Shangcun".

At that time, it is estimated that there will be a bunch of diehard fans of the other party's works, and they will berate themselves online.

Asano Aiko didn't expect this level, hesitated for a while before saying: "Akihara, I roughly understand your idea, which is to drive sales through film and television. But I have a question, if that Fujioka-san won the "Detective" What about the copyright of Shangcun?"

Hiroto Akihara twitched the corner of his mouth, and said in a helpless tone: "Then let's contact the producer of TV Asahi. If it doesn't work, contact each TV station."

He will not hang himself on a tree, in fact, he has already made multiple preparations!

If there is no TV station to take over, he intends to find some connections to contact the production company to see if he can cooperate with the production company to produce the film in the form of copyright and self-funded, and then sell it to the TV station.

But if this is the case, things will be a lot more troublesome.

In short, I hope that Fujioka-san's progress is not going well.

Hiroto Akihara thought about it for a long time, and found that it was still in his best interest.

……

Time passed quickly, in fact, everything was as Akihara Hiroto expected.

As TV Asahi surpasses Fuji TV in terms of scale and budget, and has a history of cooperation with Toei, it has successfully obtained the film and television copyright of "Detective Uemura" and approved it in the newspaper. announcement.

After Fujioka Yasuki determined that he had failed, he brought the team to the classroom.

Under the arrangement of Oshiro Lixiang, both parties brought their lawyers and assistants to start various negotiations on the work of "Furuhata Rensaburo", including the first and second use fees, script situation, peripheral income, BD share, etc...

After about 3 days of negotiations, a contract that both parties were satisfied with was signed.

However, at Hiroto Akihara's request, the film and television announcement of this work was temporarily suppressed.

Saturday afternoon, Fuji TV.

Hiroto Akihara brought Aiko Asano, made an appointment, and came to the door of this TV station.

While waiting for the arrival of Fujioka Yasuki, he carefully looked at the TV station.

Different from the image of the teaching hall, Fuji TV is a huge building complex, the most important of which are two tall white buildings, and between the two buildings, there is a huge spherical sphere that makes people a little concerned. I don’t know what is the use.

While Hiroto Akihara was looking at him, Yasuki Fujioka arrived in a loose suit and greeted him from a distance: "Sorry, Mr. Akihara, Ms. Asano, I kept you waiting for so long."

Hiroto Akihara nodded, and Aiko Asano went up to him and said with a smile, "It's okay."

Fujioka Yasuki said a few more polite words, then led the two of them to walk inside, and said as he walked, "Today's purpose is mainly to meet with the director and screenwriter."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you, but I also want to meet the director." Akihara Yuto replied.

He actually didn't care much about the screenwriter, because the work "Guhata Ren Saburo" was originally adapted from the TV bureau, even if it was changed back to the script, it would still be the same routine.

What he cared more about was the director, after all, the director's ability was related to the soul of a play.

"Fujioka-san, what is the name of this director, and what works have you filmed before?" Hiroto Akihara asked bluntly.

"The director in charge of the filming is called Wakayama Tomoki, who has more than ten years of experience in shooting urban dramas," Fujioka Yasuki replied seriously: "Mr. Akihara, we are still very concerned about the work "Furuhata Rensaburo" Yes, please rest assured."

Hiroto Akihara nodded knowingly. If he has more than ten years of experience in directing urban dramas, then this director Wakayama can be considered to be very experienced.He subconsciously glanced at Fujioka Yasuki again, remembering that he was not young, as if he had worked for many years.

With this combination of senior producer + senior director, his confidence has increased a lot.

While talking, the three walked into the gate of the white building, and Fujioka Yasuki took the initiative to help Akihara and Asano register.Immediately afterwards, the three walked along the corridor to the other side of the lobby.

After 10 minutes, the three walked to an annex.Here, Hiroto Akihara saw a signboard with the words "Production Bureau Meeting Room".

As a senior producer, Fujioka Yasuki has certain connections and reputation within Fuji TV.So along the way, many people took the initiative to say hello.

Seeing this scene, Hiroto Akihara felt a little strange in his heart, and asked curiously: "Fujioka-san, does the TV station not get off work on Saturdays? Why are there so many people?"

Fujioka Yasuki showed a wry smile: "Mr. Akihara, in our line of work, there are no normal holidays. We can only take a short vacation after a TV station is completely finished."

Hiroto Akihara just wanted to express his sympathy, but quickly restrained himself because he thought of one thing.
