According to the data from the statistics department, the final weekly sales volume of "New Novel" is expected to be around 14 copies, which is not far from the 15 copies of "Tokyo Literature".

But to be honest, if there are no emergencies, it would be quite difficult to make up for the 1-volume gap with works alone, so he didn't have high expectations.

But he didn't take it to heart either. After all, he believed that as long as he could make good use of the works in his mind to make "New Novel" surpass "Tokyo Literature" and even surpass "Tokyo Youth" which is currently the number one literary journal, it would be just It's just a matter of time.

Akihara Yuto let go of his worries in this regard, he stood up, and was going to find a ramen restaurant on the street for food. Eating instant lunch boxes from convenience stores every day is really hard to swallow.

But to his surprise, as soon as he walked downstairs, he heard the phone ringing.

He picked up the microphone and asked politely, "Hi, I'm Yuto Akihara, who is it?"

"Akihara, I'm Asano." The familiar voice of Asano Aiko came from the phone, but for some reason, her voice sounded a little excited.

"What's the matter?" Akihara Yuto was a little puzzled, after all, Kikuchita had contacted him only recently.

Aiko Asano on the other end of the phone took a deep breath, then calmed down, and replied: "Akihara, congratulations..."

When Akihara Hiroto didn't know why, the other party told him another piece of news, which deeply surprised him...

[63.Chapter 63 film signing]

The next morning, Akihara Yuto got up early, washed up briefly, and then changed into a suit and leather shoes.

After confirming that there was no problem with the meter, he walked out of the house and walked to the nearest bus stop.After about 20 minutes of driving, he finally arrived at the headquarters of Mandanshe, and took the elevator to the editorial office of "New Novels".

Asano Aiko was already waiting for him at the entrance of the editorial department, and greeted him when she saw him coming, and then led him directly to the meeting room outside the floor.

"Qiuyuan, the other party is very sincere, but it is up to you to decide whether to accept their proposal."

Hiroto Akihara nodded, indicating that he understood.

Last night, Aiko Asano told him that there was a film company that wanted to make his work into a film. He was shocked at the time. After all, the serialization of his work had not yet ended, and the company came to him.

However, he thought that Yiyi's "ZOO" series had also been made into a movie in his previous life.This made him feel that sometimes there are so many coincidences in the world.

He calmed down at that time, and asked Asano Aiko carefully about the other party's conditions, and learned about many other aspects.After all, once it is filmed, the work will undoubtedly attract more people's attention, which will make the sales of booklets even more popular in the future.

This point must be what the editorial department or the publishing house would like to see.

While pondering in his heart, he continued walking with Asano Aiko.On the way, the two would meet other editors from time to time. When these people saw him, they would often stop and take the initiative to bow and salute.

"Mr. Akihara, good morning!"

"Teacher Akihara, you have worked hard!"

Hiroto Akihara could only stop and return the salute. Although it was a bit troublesome, it made him feel better—the attitude of these editors before was not so polite.

It seems that after his works helped "New Novel" sell well, his status has also risen.

Although Akihara Hiroto was a little excited, he was not complacent about it. He knew that the change in the attitude of these editors was simply due to the influence of the works.

In other words, if his works are mediocre, then it is estimated that others will simply nod and say hello.

After thinking wildly for a while, he walked to the large conference room with Aiko Asano, and when he opened the door, he saw editor-in-chief Kikuchi and two men in suits sitting face to face. They stood up immediately after seeing Akihara and Asano .

Kikuchita took the initiative to step forward and introduced the two sides. From his mouth, Akihara Hiroto learned that the two men in suits, one fat and one thin, were called Toyama Takato and Shima Ryosuke, and they came from Dongsheng Pictures Co., Ltd.

After the other two learned that Hiroto Akihara was the author of the original work, they were very polite, calling them "Teacher Akihara", and bowed and handed over their business cards. He printed it, and she claimed that she must use it when dealing with others.

After exchanging business cards, Tai Kikuchi invited everyone to sit down, and Yuuto Akihara was arranged by him at the main seat.

Hiroto Akihara was not too polite, after all, he was the main signer of today's contract.

The thinner man in a suit handed over a contract, "Mr. Qiuyuan, thank you very much for accepting the proposal of filming the work. Here are the conditions we can provide. Please have a look."

Hiroto Akihara nodded, took the initiative to accept the contract and opened it to look.

In the contract, at the request of the other party, the film and television copyrights of the five stories "zoo", "Xiaoshi and Yoko", "So far", "Seven Rooms" and "Poetry to the Sun" were delivered to the other party, and the other party arranged Directed and produced a film in the form of a unit drama.

For this reason, the other party set a series of conditions: the signing fee (one-time use fee) is about 80 yen. Can get 3% net income.

For example, if a video tape is sold for 6000 yen and 3 copies are issued, then he can get 540 million yen.

Hiroto Akihara lowered his head and thought about it. Although the other party's conditions did not include the box office share of the screening, it was slightly better than he thought.

Because of Neon's situation, most writers' film and television contracts cannot get a share of the box office, which seems to have become a default unspoken rule.In addition, as far as he knew, the movie based on Yiyi's work was only relatively popular on the Internet, and the box office seemed to be quite mediocre, and it didn't get much money.

He thought about it for a while, and found that the most useful thing for him was to promote his future booklet through filming. After all, the royalties from the booklet were the bulk of his real income.

After repeated weighing, he felt quite satisfied. After all, although he had the title of "genius", he still hadn't published any booklets, and newcomers who hadn't won any awards could get this kind of income.

Presumably, the editorial department on Aiko Asano's side has already helped him win some conditions.

Another chubby man in a suit saw that Akihara hadn't answered for a long time, so he stood up and bowed, "Mr. Akihara, these conditions are the best we can offer. If you still feel dissatisfied, please let us know."

To be honest, as a representative of the film production company, he has shown great sincerity. After all, as a film producer, he has to be responsible for all costs, including film shooting costs, actors' remuneration, and channel share.

Hiroto Akihara nodded, and instead of answering directly, he asked a question: "Toiyama-san, I would like to ask if your company has any relevant plans for the promotion of film and television works."

This point must be asked, after all, what if the other party bought the copyright, but did not shoot it after a few years?After all, judging from the experience of previous lives, there are really many such examples.

To his surprise, another man in a suit stood up and took up the topic: "Mr. Qiuyuan, we already have a detailed plan for this work."

After saying this, he took out a proposal from his briefcase and handed it over.Hiroto Akihara took it again and read it carefully.

In this proposal, although the specific investment amount has not been stipulated, it is guaranteed that the production cost will not be less than 3000 million yen. In addition, the information about the film and television will be announced to the outside world as soon as the contract is signed.

Hiroto Akihara weighed again for a while. Although he is the author of the original work, the executive party of the filming is the other party after all, so he does not have the right to dictate too much, and it is unrealistic to ask for additional shooting time in the contract.

Moreover, in his opinion, although the scale of this film studio is only medium, its sincerity has indeed been shown, so it is unlikely that it will maliciously delay not filming, right?

After confirming, he said with a smile: "I have seen the sincerity of your company, there is no problem, I will sign the contract."

After saying this, he took the pen from Asano Aiko, signed the contract with his name, age and many other information, and finally stamped it.

He looked at the red seal on the contract and thought of another question.

By the way, after the film is released, what level can the box office achieve?

[64.Chapter 64 Hands in the Sand Pool]

Akihara Yuto woke up on the bed, he felt his head was groggy.He subconsciously covered his head and gave a wry smile.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have drunk so much... I really made myself feel guilty.

After signing the contract yesterday, both parties were very happy. The film company took the initiative to invite editor-in-chief Kikuchi, Akihara and Asano to a nearby izakaya for a drink together.

Akihara Hiroto naturally agreed.After all, he still knows a little about the importance of human relations.

But he didn't expect the follow-up development to exceed his imagination.
