Asano Aiko tried to persuade her again, but Akihara Yuto stopped her with a wave of his hand.Seeing Akihara Yuuto's actions, Asano Aiko's expression changed, and she had no choice but to give up this plan.

The Yoshikawa president also tried to invite the two to stay and have lunch at a nearby restaurant, but Akihara and the two were not in the mood to be polite, pretending that they had something to do, and left in a hurry.

When returning to the car, Asano Aiko took the initiative to say: "Akihara, this is very strange."

During the phone call before, Yoshikawa Gen's attitude was very enthusiastic, and he was even delighted to find that there was a pie in the sky, but he didn't expect to meet today, but it seemed like a different person.

Hiroto Akihara nodded, and then said, "I guess he was coerced."

Asano Aiko was puzzled: "Coercion?! Who can coerce him."

"Asano, you're thinking wrong." Hiroto Akihara continued, "Just imagine, if our copyright has been unable to be sold, who will benefit the most?"

Asano Aiko frowned and considered for a while, then said in an uncertain tone: "Toying Yinghua?"

Hiroto Akihara acquiesced to this statement, and said: "From the perspective of motivation, Dongying Pictures and several other large film companies are likely to be involved. From the perspective of ability, they do have the ability to coerce Yoshikawa Corporation."

Although Yoshikawa Co., Ltd. is a medium-sized film company, it is far from a big company like Dongying Pictures in terms of production capabilities and resources in the circle.

And such a gap makes it very likely that Yoshikawa Co., Ltd. will give up the cooperation with Akihara Hiroto if faced with the threat of Dongying Yinghua.

"Akihara, what should we do now?" Asano Aiko asked, "Are you going to accept Toei Yinghua's conditions?"

Hiroto Akihara shook his head, and then said, "I'll trouble you to continue contacting interested companies."

The film and television copyright of "Suspect X" is a big "cake" after all. He doesn't believe that all film companies will refuse his request because they are afraid of Dongying Yinghua.

What he needs most now is time and patience.

……

After Hiroto Akihara left, a young man named Yoshito Nagayama who was standing behind Gen Yoshikawa excitedly clenched his fists.

During his lunch break, he returned to the office and made a call from his landline when he saw no one was there.

After the call was connected, he said excitedly: "Nei Hai, aren't you looking for a suitable script? I found a good opportunity here!"

"Don't hang up the phone! Let me tell you, do you know that Akihara Yuto? He has come to our company, and it seems to be talking about the film and television copyright of one of his works!"

"Of course it didn't work, otherwise why would I tell you. How about it, let's talk in detail at the original izakaya at night!"

Putting down the phone, he had a happy expression on his face.

Regarding the matter of Akihara Hiroto's film and television copyright this time, he probably knows the specific reasons behind it.

It is because Dongying Pictures released the wind through the industry association, requiring other film companies to act in accordance with the "professional regulations", especially not to go too far.

So the president of their company compromised and made concessions under this threat, and gave up his original intention.

However, Yoshito Yongshan, as a senior screenwriter, has also watched the work "Suspect X", and he is very confident in adapting this work into a movie.

So he thinks, this is a perfect opportunity!

And bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes. For some people, the threat of Dongying Yinghua is useless.

So he is going to encourage his friend who is an independent producer to negotiate the copyright, and then use this copyright to find several investors to cooperate to obtain funds.

He didn't believe that under the banner of Hiroto Akihara, he couldn't attract a few investors!

If he really missed this opportunity, he would probably regret it for half his life!

[Chapter 255.254 An Uninvited Guest]

The next morning, Hiroto Akihara, who was at home, received a call from Aiko Asano and was told that an independent producer named Takuto Utsumi wanted to visit him.

Hiroto Akihara was a little surprised when he heard this request.

In his original plan, the option of an independent producer was never considered.

The so-called independent producers are generally producers who are engaged in film production outside the major studio system or the mainstream commercial film production system.

They often do not have a fixed team, and need to find scripts, sign actors, organize filming, and even find another film company or investor in terms of funds.

But such a model is often only suitable for small-scale movies, right?

He wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, there is no suitable film company, so he agreed to the request for a meeting, and agreed with Asano Aiko to inform the producer named Utsumi Takuto of his address, and made an appointment for the afternoon Meet.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Takuto Utsumi arrived at his high-end apartment, accompanied by a screenwriter named Yoshito Yongshan.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Akihara."

After meeting Akihara Yuto, both of them bowed respectfully and said hello. After all, Akihara Yuto's social status is very high, and they really wanted something from him this time.

Hiroto Akihara greeted them to sit down and poured two cups of tea for them. After observing them carefully, he found that both of them looked about 35 years old.Judging by the standards of filmmakers, it's a bit too young.

Akihara Hiroto felt even more unreliable, so he asked directly: "Utsumi-san, Yongshan-san, what is the purpose of your visit?"

He guessed that it might be related to his previous copyright negotiations, but he still wanted to hear what the other party would say.

Utsumi Takuto cleared his throat, then handed over a document, and said in a respectful manner: "Teacher Akihara, I hope to obtain the film and television authorization of "Suspect X". For now."

Hiroto Akihara took the file suspiciously, opened it and read it.

He found that the production of this document was very irregular, as if it had been drafted by specialized lawyers.However, the content is very sincere, and even increased the box office share to 10%.

However, he was not overjoyed by it. Instead, he felt that the other party was a "liar", and tentatively asked, "Nei Haisang, what is the budget for your filming?"

This question is very important. If the other party can't explain why, just find a reason and send them away.

Utsumi Takuto and Nagayama Yoshito looked at each other, and then said confidently: "The production cost is 1 million yen, and the promotion cost is 5 million yen!"

Hiroto Akihara didn't believe it even more. He didn't think the other party had so much money, so he asked, "Is the money in the account? Is there a certificate issued by the bank?"

Hearing this question, the two showed awkward smiles, and then said: "We are still looking for investors, but in our opinion, this investment is not a problem."

Akihara Yuren was speechless, and felt that the two of them were fooling him, and they even fooled him.

He was silent for a while, and then he planned to see off the guests, "Let's do this for today, please contact my assistant, Ms. Asano, for follow-up matters."

That being said, he intends to let Asano Aiko directly block the two of them.

He has no money and wants to make a movie, do you really think he has no brains?

As an independent producer, Takuto Utsumi deals with different people every day, so he didn't care about his face for a long time. He immediately pulled his partner to stand up and bowed deeply, and said sincerely: "Teacher Akihara, please listen to me! It just takes a moment of your time!"

Akihara Hiroto originally wanted to refuse, but seeing the other party's posture, he didn't intend to leave.

He frowned, and decided to let the other party finish speaking before driving them away, so he said bluntly: "I'll give you 15 minutes, please clarify as soon as possible."

"Yes, thank you very much!" Utsumi breathed a sigh of relief, then straightened up and said, "That's right, we plan to operate like this..."
