In his previous life, he had watched all three versions of "Suspect X", Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. The violent scenes in them were all fleeting, and they were rarely described in large lengths.

In contrast, the more prominent elements in the movie should be about the portrayal of emotions.

But do I really want to give up the cooperation with Neihai Tuoren?

Just like what he said, now the film companies are afraid to let go of the box office share out of consideration, only the independent producers can not be afraid of this.

But how much effort does it take to find the right independent producer?

Perhaps, I can consider changing to a cooperative project?

……

While Akihara Hiroto was thinking, Utsumi Takuto and his partner Nagayama Yoshito were drinking in an izakaya.

Neihai Tuoren poured a glass of wine by himself, and then sighed deeply, while Yongshan Yiren at the side persuaded in a comforting tone: "Neihai, don't sigh, this kind of thing is not very sure."

This copyright negotiation is just an "attempt" for them to see an opportunity.

If Hiroto Akihara hadn't asked for a share of the box office, as a well-known writer, his film and television copyright would have been taken away by a large film company.

So it is very rare to have a chance to try.

Neihai Tuoren took a sip of his wine, shook his head and said, "I'm not depressed, I'm just emotional."

"Sentiment?" Yongshan Yiren was puzzled.

"That's right," Utsumi Takuto continued, "You can see that Akihara Yuto is much younger than us, yet he has already lived in such a high-end apartment, and is even a best-selling author!"

"But as for me, I am still an unknown little producer."

Righteous Yongshan patted him on the shoulder, just as he was about to say a few more words of comfort, he didn't expect to hear his friend say it again.

"Although I am very jealous of him, I think there is still room for the film and television copyright this time!"

Yiren Yongshan didn't expect to hear this answer, he was puzzled and asked, "Didn't he already let us go?"

"But he didn't say that we can't come to the door next time."

Takuto Utsumi laughed, "I'm going to visit a few more investors to see if I can sign an agreement of intent first. As long as there is an agreement, I think Akihara Hiroto will pay more attention to us."

The so-called independent producers are originally "thick-skinned".

In other words, if you give up easily after being rejected once or twice, you won't be able to stay in this industry for long.

So he planned to try a few more times before Hiroto Akihara completely rejected him.

The two finished their drinks and returned to the apartment where they lived together.

Nekaituo lived on the third floor, while Yongshan Yiren lived on the fourth floor.

But just downstairs in the apartment building, the administrator stopped them, "Nai Haisang, you came just in time, I just got a call from you"

Neihaituoren was a little puzzled, who else would call him at such a late hour,

Just when he was puzzled, the administrator said, "It's a lady named Asano."

Hearing this name, Utsumi Takuto and Yongshan Yoshito looked at each other, feeling a little inconceivable.

Utsumi Takuto didn't hesitate, and immediately ran into the management room, picked up the microphone that was placed aside, and said in an excited tone: "Miss Asano, I'm Utsumi Takuto, what can I do?"

In the microphone, Asano Aiko's voice came, "Uchiha-san, Mr. Akihara asked me to tell you that I hope to talk about related cooperation next Tuesday."

Neihai Tuoren suppressed his excitement, and said in a low voice, "I see."

The opportunity is right in front of you, if you miss it again, you will be too sorry for yourself!

……

Soon, next Tuesday, Utsumi Tuoren and Yongshan Yoshito visited again.

In order to successfully convince Hiroto Akihara, this time they not only wore rented high-end suits, but also brought a large stack of letters of intent.

These letters of intent were negotiated with several companies during this period.

Some of these companies are theaters, some are film companies, and some are investors who have nothing to do with the film industry.

Basically everyone's purpose is to earn a quick sum of money - after all, after 93, the market environment was harsh, and there were not many investment opportunities.

Film is one of the few industries that is still booming.

And Hiroto Akihara, as a well-known writer, is very likely to achieve relatively good box office results for the film and television adaptation of his works.

However, these agreements are only letters of intent, without even a deposit, so they have no real legal effect, which means that it is easy for one party to break the contract.

But the reason why they still spent a lot of effort to obtain this letter of intent is to further convince Hiroto Akihara.

Look, so many people are interested in our film projects!

So budget money is not an issue at all!

But what surprised the two of them was that when they met Akihara Yuto this time, the other party was not interested in these things, but took out a manuscript called "Memories of Murder" and placed it in front of the two of them.

"If possible, I hope you can make this work into a movie."

[Chapter 257.256 "Memories of Murder"]

"Teacher Akihara, what is this?" Utsumi Takuto asked puzzled.

What he wanted was the copyright of "The Devotion of Suspect X", not this work whose name he had never heard of!

The sales volume of the former has exceeded one million copies, and as long as it is released, many readers will definitely come to join in!

But for this work, it is estimated that it can only rely on Akihara Yuto's fame to support it!

In this case, it is not a small difficulty to sell it well, and even those investors who signed the letter of intent are very likely to give up!

Akihara Hiroto glanced at him, and then said, "Please read it first before talking about it."

Utsumi hesitated for a while, then picked up the manuscript and read it with his partner.

Akihara Hiroto watched the other person's expression gradually indulged, and nodded in satisfaction.

What he gave to the other party this time was a work called "Memories of Murder".

This work is a crime movie released in South Korea in 2003. It tells the story of a series of serial murders in a small town. The town police and the Soviet police transferred from Seoul jointly handled the case.

And this story is adapted from the Hwaseong serial murder case, one of the three unsolved cases in South Korea.
