Chapter 300

2 days later, Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, Double Cafe.

"Akiwara, what do you think about the conditions offered by Dongying Film?"

After ordering coffee and sitting down, Asano Aiko looked at Akiwara Yuto and asked.

This morning, Dongying Film sent a high-level executive who proposed more favorable conditions, which even included a 10% box office share.

Akiwara Yuto thought about it and replied: "Wait a little longer."

Seeing that he neither agreed nor refused, Asano Aiko asked curiously: "The reason?"

Akiwara Yuto replied: "Asano, Dongying Film caused us quite a bit of trouble before. Now, of course, we can't hand over the copyright to them so easily,

And after the final box office of 'Memories of Murder' is released, maybe other major movie companies with more sincerity will come to the door."

Before, because he proposed the condition of box office share which did not conform to Nihon's rules, major movie companies in the industry had been refusing to talk to him.

But now, Dongying Film actually jumped out on its own, breaking the "industry tacit understanding" between other major companies.

He didn't believe that under the temptation of naked interests, other companies wouldn't stand out.

Asano Aiko had no opinion; after all, this matter is Akiwara Yuto as the main one, the copyright is in his hands, selling to whom is not selling.

She was just worried before that Akiwara Yuto would refuse to hand over the copyright because of a dispute of spirit, but instead was determined to continue investing and filming movies.

In her view, the fact that "Memories of Murder" could be a bestseller this time has many accidental factors.

So if another movie is filmed, it may not be able to reach the same level.

At this time, the coffee was delivered. Akiwara Yuto thanked and accepted it, and then asked with a smile: "According to the current situation, what is the estimated final box office?"

Although only the first-week box office has just come out, the proportion of the number of cinemas and screens has also roughly come out, plus the attendance rate, the final box office can be roughly estimated.

Talking about this topic, Asano Aiko also became energetic and took out a notebook to report.

"It is estimated that the heat of the Kanagawa serial murder case will continue for another week, so the communication effect is currently very good,

The attendance rate of cinemas in popular business districts in Tokyo is 100%, and the attendance rate in cities like Kanto is also generally 90%. Most cinemas have indicated that they will continue to add screenings,

Besides that, in terms of public opinion promotion, many magazines have also indicated..."

Akiwara Yuto nodded while listening. The movie "Memories of Murder" became a big hit in his past life, which has very profound social reasons.

And this world just happened to catch up with the hot spot. In the case of excellent film quality, there is naturally no reason for failure.

However, the hot spot will fade sooner or later. After another period of time, it is estimated that the box office will fall off a cliff.

After all, those who are interested have already watched it in the cinema, and those who are not interested naturally won't watch it.

But by that time, it will be almost time for it to be taken off the screen.

Asano Aiko finished most of it at this time, closed the notebook, and sighed deeply: "It is estimated that in 2 months, the box office of this movie will reach about 4.5 billion!"

She raised her head, looked at Akiwara Yuto with complex eyes, and said: "Akiwara, you succeeded again!"

A production cost of about 200 million, an unknown third-tier director, a group of ordinary actors who only perform in TV dramas, actually created this achievement of 4.5 billion.

It can even be ranked in the top 3 of the total box office of the year.

According to the fact that investors can get one-third of the total box office revenue, this time there will be at least 1.5 billion in net profit.

This money was earned quite easily, simply as if it was blown by a strong wind!

She sometimes really doesn't understand why Akiwara Yuto can succeed so easily, which is simply incredible.

Akiwara Yuto didn't know her admiring thoughts, but said: "By the way, the single volume of 'Memories of Murder' should also be arranged for release in the near future."

"I know, don't worry."

Asano Aiko agreed casually—now with the hot spot of the movie, the single volume will definitely be a bestseller.

However, the little money earned from the single volume is at most an incidental profit.

After all, this is not a serialized series, the plot that should be told has already been told, and at most it is just supplementing some details.

Just at this moment, her mobile phone rang. After saying an "apology," she walked out of the cafe to answer the phone, and didn't return until 10 minutes later.

"Akiwara, Xinchuan Film Co., Ltd. just called me."

Akiwara Yuto smiled, "Do they want the film and television copyright of my work?"

Asano Aiko shook her head and said: "No, they want to hire you to write a script specifically, and offered a remuneration of 20 million."

Akiwara Yuto was stunned; he thought they came to talk about copyright, but didn't expect it was an invitation for him to write a script.

He thought about it and analyzed the pros and cons of this matter.

There are indeed many suspense crime movies in his mind, but many of them are not suitable for adaptation into literary works, only suitable for filming into movies.

But as long as he keeps them, maybe one day they can be used.

And the movie company's offer of 20 million seems to be a bit low.

To tell the truth, although the cooperation with the two distributors, Tokyo Distribution and Nihon Distribution, is not very happy on the new book, relying on the previous foundation, the monthly net profit is at least over 100 million.

He thought about it and waved his hand directly: "Help me refuse."

Asano Aiko nodded and had no opinion.

Although the price offered by the other party is already the highest in the industry, for Akiwara Yuto, it only belongs to an average level.

After finishing public affairs, Asano Aiko talked about private affairs: "Akiwara, Mei Sui-chan has had a little problem recently, do you know?"

Hearing this sentence, Akiwara Yuto was confused.

For this talented disciple he recognized, he has always been concerned.

"I only gave her a lesson last week, what problem did she have?" Akiwara Yuto asked.

Asano Aiko paused, sorted out her thoughts, and said seriously: "She seems to have been failing to submit manuscripts recently, so her whole mood is very low. I asked her before, and she said she couldn't write good works."

Akiwara Yuto's smile faded, considering whether to provide any help.

But after considering it, he still said seriously: "Asano, this matter can only rely on herself."

In his view, the problem his disciple, Yuan Shan Mei Sui, has fallen into is undoubtedly inspiration obstacles and thinking exhaustion, but this is not something others can help her with.

If he rashly provides help, maybe it will cause psychological shadows to her, and even cause dependence on himself.

So this hurdle must be walked out by her own continuous creation.

In his past life, there was a writer who discussed writing; he believed that writers are lonely, because only loneliness can give writers continuous inspiration.

"Let's go," Akiwara Yuto stood up and greeted Asano Aiko to leave together.

Next, he is going to find Nishijima Sōta to talk about the follow-up chain bookstore opening plan.
