Chapter 106 Trip to Japan (3)

It can make Sony go to war so much, on the one hand, it shows that they are really eager to get Columbia Pictures out of the current situation, on the other hand, it also shows Adrian's influence. If it weren't for the dazzling circles of halo he created for himself, how could Sony have tried so hard to please him?

But then again, this matter is not too difficult for Sony. The consortiums in Japan are already intertwined with each other. The situation where you have me and I have you is more prevalent than in the United States. There are still frictions and struggles between the east and west coasts of the United States. The manufacturing industry and arms dealers also have their own interests to compete in Congress, while Japan is completely loose, and the position of prime minister has always been in the hands of the Liberal Democratic Party.

So let alone a newcomer like Takako Tokiwa, even if Adrian became interested in popular actresses like Mie Nakayama, Shizuka Kudo, or Rie Miyazawa, they would find a way to bring them to him. Even if they are extremely popular stars, or even national idols, they don't have much choice in a society like Japan that still maintains a strong tradition of patriarchy over women.

Japan and even the entire East Asian entertainment industry is different from the West. Americans and Europeans pay attention to what you want and what you want. People who maintain decent will not use coercion or obvious coercion, and this is not something to be ashamed of. It is also part of the capital. But in East Asia, people with power have always had to do what they want. Korean Bangzi is especially prominent in this area, and once it is exposed, women will always bear more pressure than men.

Well, let's not talk about this, in short, as long as Adrian shows his intention to cooperate, they can satisfy no matter who they are interested in. The only unlikely one is Namie Amuro, not because this woman has personality or power, but because Ai Hui is a new company and is currently competing with Sony Records.

Therefore, in the next few days, Adrian enjoyed the service of Takako Tokiwa while visiting Japan. It has to be admitted that Japanese women are really good at serving men, like plasticine, they can be shaped into any shape they want, and with their relatively petite figure, it is easy to give people the feeling of "ravaged".

But after all the fun, what should be cared for should be cared for. After all, women are not goods, and Adrian is not good at sex, so he played with Madonna once, and he still needs to be given the respect he deserves.

"Mr. Adrian is a very gentle man." Tokiwa Takako said this more than once, with a lot of smiles on his face, instead of pretending most of the time like the first day.

Now that he has accepted the other party's kindness, some gestures are necessary. Adrian simply handed over the main matters of his trip to Japan to Takuya Sugiki.

"When I was shopping in the bookstore, Ms. Takako recommended a good horror novel. Although I don't know much about daily chemicals, I still feel that the horror and thriller stories in Japan that are good at creating an atmosphere are unique. In fact, I read Ms. Takako After visiting some shrines under the guidance of the leader and listening to a lot of related ghost stories, I already have some immature ideas." Adrian said on the phone.

"You mean to say that you want to get the film adaptation rights of this novel, is that right?" Shan Mu asked cautiously.

"Yes, but it's not now. Now is not the best time, so what I want to get is at least a ten-year film copyright. As for now, I have other arrangements." Adrian hinted.

"I understand." Shan Mu is a smart person, how could he fail to understand the meaning of his words, and immediately agreed with excitement.

"Then, I will ask Sam to contact you as soon as possible." Adrian hung up the phone immediately after saying this, and then walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows to look at the night view of the city outside after a pause.

There was a light slap sound from behind, and he turned his head to see that Takako Tokiwa had already changed into his kimono, walked shyly in front of him, and then bowed deeply. Different from the ordinary kimono, this is an improved sexy kimono. Her fair neck and delicate collarbone are exposed, and the light on her chest is even more visible when she bows. The high fork just needs to swing slightly You can show your thighs.

Adrian then took her into his arms, pushed her on the floor-to-ceiling glass bed from behind, reached into her chest and kneaded her. Takako hummed softly, eyes half-opened, because of Adrian's method, after she passed the initial anxiety and shyness, she became more and more enthusiastic, especially the look that hoped that the other party would further violate her Naturally average, no wonder she always plays the underprivileged in Japanese dramas.

She was so submissive in front of her, and recalling that she was specially dressed up as the innocent look in "Tell Me You Love Me", Adrian couldn't help sighing again, those guys from Sony really tickled his itch, and decided not to happen The idea of ​​​​relationships had to be reversed within a few days. From this point of view, their ability to collect information is really not covered.

The Japanese are like this. They can always do their best in details, but they don't have a big picture. The most typical example is that in the 1980s, waving a check to the United States to make acquisitions happily, and keeping a low profile, even if the Americans wanted to kill pigs, they would have to spend a lot of thought, and they would not kill them so quickly. As a result, a piece of "Plaza Accord" " directly set them back ten years.

Frankly speaking, after playing Takako Tokiwa for a few days, Adrian really has a bit of taste and wants to taste Shizuka Kudo, Rie Miyazawa or Noriko Sakai. Although a lot of things have exploded in the future, But it is still possible to try it now. But the problem is that it is natural to give a corresponding reward for how many benefits the other party has taken. It doesn’t matter if you give Sony some benefits now. If Surprise falls into his pocket smoothly, Sony-Columbia’s last chance to cheer up is gone. So there is nothing wrong with accepting Takako Tokiwa.

But if you really enjoy those women who have the title of "National Idol" in Japan, such as Mie Nakayama or Takako Tokiwa a few years later, how can you not give something good? Of course, if Adrian is thicker-skinned and darker, he can cheat them as much as he likes after eating and wiping it off, but there may be nothing on the surface. After all, Americans have cheated on their domestic dogs. It's a matter of course, and at most it will be exchanged for Sony's hostility, but many people will inevitably criticize it behind the scenes, and the original aura will also be affected, so it is better to do less of such damaging things.

Soon, the facts proved that his consideration was correct. After talking with Shan Mu and expressing his attitude on the phone, the other party immediately became more enthusiastic. Then he was invited to taste the most famous dish in Japan in a private restaurant, that's right, it was Nvtaisheng. This way of eating dishes on naked girls is probably only the Japanese can think of.

It would be fine if the naked girl's body was used to hold the food, but if the girl's name was Nakama Yukie, that would be a different matter.

To be honest, Adrian was slightly taken aback when he saw the face of the young girl lying on the table with her eyes closed. Like Takako Tokiwa, he had seen it before when he visited those companies. Although Yukie, who is still very young, is not familiar with the Japanese entertainment industry, she still has an impression of several Japanese drama queens from the 1990s to the early 21st century.

I didn't expect that such an interested glance without even asking the name, but was watched by the accompanying guy, and then after getting the desired answer, they pushed it out in this way, I have to say that they are very smart.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Fujisawa, it really opened my eyes tonight." Adrian said this to Fujisawa who invited him when he left after the meal.

"It's an honor to sit with a young man like Mr. Adrian," Fujisawa, who looks about fifty and is a senior executive at Sony, said with a smile, "I hope you enjoy dinner tonight .”

His music has a strong accent. If it wasn't for the translation by Shan Mu, it would take a lot of effort for Adrian to understand.

"It really left a deep impression on me and gave me a better understanding of Japanese culture. Thanks again." Adrian kept smiling. To be honest, he didn't eat much this dinner. If it was private If it's one-on-one, he doesn't mind feasting, but surrounded by a few people... sitting there and moving a few chopsticks from time to time is probably out of politeness and curiosity.

"Then I won't say much, I wish you a happy tonight." The other party smiled meaningfully, and then got into his car.

Before Adrian could recall it, Shan Mu's words immediately attracted his attention: "Mr. Adrian, we have already had a preliminary conversation with the other party, and he wants to see you."

"Meet me?" Adrian raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Yes, Mr. Suzuki wants to talk to you," Shan Mu nodded, still with a modest smile, "Please understand the author's love for his own work. This novel is also one of our cultural treasures."

One of the cultural treasures? Adrian chuckled in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface: "No problem, you can arrange it now, I won't have too much time in Japan."

"Hi." Shan Mu nodded vigorously immediately.

Want to exorbitant prices? Not necessarily, judging by their performance tonight, they have already obtained his promise, and they will definitely not do such superfluous things, that is to show their merits... Adrian was thinking on the way back to the hotel The meaning of those words of Shanmu. In the end, he shook his head and threw it aside, even if he couldn't get it, it didn't matter.

"Takako, are you there?" Back at the hotel suite, Adrian called a few times but no one was there. It seemed that Takako Tokiwa was not here.

Probably out for a walk. Adrian didn't care, and took some small pastries from the cupboard and tasted them. Although he took her everywhere these days, women are different after all. This kind of men's party is not something women should attend, so Takako was left by him in the hotel today.

After resting for a while, he thought about some things again, and saw that it was almost ten o'clock, but Takako Tokiwa hadn't come back yet. Adrian couldn't help but frowned, and before he could make a move, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" He asked healthily, but there was no answer, and the knock on the door rang again after a few seconds.

Adrian raised his eyebrows and was about to refuse, but then he realized something, walked to the door a few steps and looked at the cat's eyes, and an unknown smile slipped from the corner of his mouth.

"What's the matter, Miss." He opened the door and looked at the girl in front of him with interest. Her long jet-black hair hung down like a waterfall, but she was wearing a blue and white sailor suit. That's right, it's the girls' school uniform in Japanese schools, which makes her look particularly pure.

After a brief panic, the girl outside the door timidly made a 90-degree bow after biting her lower lip: "Hello, Mr. Adrian, my name is Nakama Yukie, I am... I am... …just now……"

Her English wasn't fluent, but at least she didn't have those accents, but she became stammered when she said this, and her innocent face flushed.

The "container" just now, right? Adrian answered in his heart, no wonder Takako Tokiwa is not in the room, it turns out there is a new show tonight, she obviously told Sugi and the others about his little hobby, otherwise Nakama Yukie would not appear in such a dress here.

"Come in." He said moving away from his body.

Seeing that Adrian didn't let her say that word, Yuki Hui was slightly relieved, and walked into the room with her head buried.

"So, what do you want?" Adrian asked after pouring a glass of water and handing it to the girl.

The opponent's body froze immediately, holding the water glass on his lap, and his head was even more bent. Seeing her appearance, Adrian couldn't help laughing, and deliberately mentioned what happened just now: "Sorry, I almost didn't recognize you after you put on your clothes. I'm sorry for being rude before, you know, as a As a Westerner, I seldom use chopsticks, although I use them well, but in this case it is inevitable to pick the wrong place."

Although Yukie Nakama lay her head on her stomach, she could still see the blush up to her neck. But in this way, she calmed down. After Adrian finished speaking, the girl raised her head and looked at him, then got up and knelt down in front of him, lying down with her whole body: "I am here to serve you, Mr Adrian."

Also... really direct. Adrian raised his eyebrows, but since it's all like this, that fellow Fujisawa also wished him a happy tonight, there is no reason to push it out, isn't it?

In addition to recalling some scenes from the previous meal, he immediately sat on the bed: "So, what can you do?"——

"Because the horror culture in Japan or the entire East Asia is different from that in the United States and Europe, Mr. Suzuki. For Asians, the kind of suspicious, as if danger can emerge from an unknown corner at any time, and the horror in their hearts is even more terrifying. Strong horror films are scary; for European and American audiences, the scenes of monsters cannibalizing people are the scariest, and they don’t have the patience to be tormented by danger without showing up.” Sitting in the coffee shop In the box, Adrian said this to a middle-aged Japanese man who looked a little fat, and Takuya Sugi and Sam Wood were sitting next to him.

This middle-aged man who listened engrossed and agreed twice, is the author of "Midnight Ring" with "the pyramid of horror novels", what Adrian Suzuki wants is exactly "Midnight Ring" "The film copyright. Suppressed by Hollywood, Japanese movies have always been popular only in their own country. "The Ring" and "The Grudge" are probably the only works of theirs that have gained some international fame, and they only got it through American remakes.

What Adrian has to do is to save the remake link and tell the Japanese that without him making it into a movie, their things will not be on the table at all.

"So Mr. Adrian thinks that when the audience is used to or even tired of a style, it will be very interesting for them to suddenly change the style, so he wants to sell my adaptation rights, right?" In Adrian After An finished speaking, Suzuki Koji quickly added.

"Yes." Adrian nodded in approval, "Although, so I have been paying attention to this aspect. During this time, I have visited many shrines in Japan and heard many related ghost stories. I even had a rough idea, but unfortunately I'm not Japanese, so I can't write that flavor."

As he spoke, he gestured to Sam, who then took out several documents from the briefcase and handed them to Suzuki.

"I hope to find a Japanese writer to write this idea, whether it is a novel or a script." Adrian said.

After Suzuki took it, he glanced at it briefly, and then he had a look of surprise: "This is really Mr. Adrian's idea? It's incredible."

"It's just an idea. Many things are essentially the same, but it's not so easy to complete it." Adrian smiled.

"You are too humble. It's amazing that a foreigner like you can understand so many things." Suzuki said in admiration, and then handed over the manuscript to Shanmu.

Admiration is admiration, he didn't show much interest, after all, he is still a science fiction writer in essence, as can be seen from the so-called scientific explanation in "Midnight Ring", so he definitely wouldn't care about such pure ghosts story.

"I'm very glad to be chosen by your miracle director, but..." Suzuki pondered for a while at this moment, "But isn't the ten-year period a bit too long?"

"Because they are not bored now, and they will never be bored," Adrian said leisurely. "After all, some opinions are deeply rooted and cannot be changed. A breeze is always just a breeze, so people need to change most. It's time to launch, and now is not the best time."

As he spoke, he sat up straight and looked at the other party with a condescending gaze: "You know, if you want to make money in anything, then market research is always necessary, and our market research has always been done very well, That's why I can grasp the audience's appetite very well. It may take a few years before they accept this kind of Japanese-style movie."
