"Otasan, does Toho have the intention to make "White Night Walk" into a movie?" Taku Takagi looked at Keiji Ota who was just drinking coffee on the side but didn't say anything.

"Well, this time I came with Kameyama Sang, just to discuss this matter with Takagi Sang." Keiji Ota nodded and said: "Although it is a bit presumptuous, we have a high evaluation of the commercial value of Takagi Sang's novel, so if possible, I hope we can start discussing the transfer of production rights now."

Regarding the fact that Keiji Ota was straightforward and wanted to discuss the transfer agreement for the production rights with him on behalf of Toho in a place that was not an office space, Takagi Taku himself was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "Since Datiansang said that, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, but there may be no way to sign any formal agreement here, can a verbal agreement be OK?"

Since he had made up his mind to sell the production rights to Toho, Takuki didn't care where he reached an agreement with Toho. Not to mention that he would still have to ask others to buy the distribution rights of his movies later, even though he had brought many opportunities to show his face to the artists in this not-so-famous firm. This time Chihiro Kameyama came here and even allowed him to get the announcement of the male lead in the new season of the 9th drama. He should have made such a decision.

"No problem, I can trust Takagi Sang's character." As Keiji Ota said this, he discussed the specific transfer agreement with Takagi Taku.

The agreement will definitely be reached in the end, which is something that all three of us here have tacitly understood. Now Takuki Taku and Keiji Ota are discussing the specific transfer amount and some other conditions. After all, Takuki Taku has a group of artists who rely on him to make a living. If he can get some notifications for roles, it would be very good even if it is just an audition opportunity.

Although he doesn't know much about Keiji Ota, a senior executive at Toho Co., Ltd., he often saw the name Keiji Ota among many film producers in his previous life. Even Toho's repertoire "Godzilla" project is fully responsible for this guy.

Such a character should have a good attitude. If he can get his promise, it would be fine to let some of his artists participate in the audition selection. Takuki thought so. It’s not that he cares about the expected objective pay, but that he can show his face more to keep the artists exposed and popular, so that he can receive more money-making announcements. After all, not everyone can continue to maintain the status of a first-line singer like his sister, who has been on the mysterious route for so many years.

After spending about an hour and changing the coffee in front of him, Takuki Taku and Keiji Ota finally reached a preliminary agreement with Chihiro Kameyama. The production rights of "White Night Tour" were finally sold for 8 million yen, and Keiji Ota also promised to help the artists of Takuki Takuki's office get auditions during casting.

"Okay, I sat in the cafe for an afternoon, and now everything has been solved successfully." Chihiro Kameyama moved a little, which was a little stiff because he kept moving for a long time. "I know there is a good restaurant nearby. Let's go there for dinner. This time I treat you, which is also a place to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

"Then I would like to thank Guchishan for your kindness first, but before that, there is another thing I want to trouble Datiansang."

"Oh? Is there anything else about Takagisan? If it is an agreement, I will report to the company tomorrow morning and send it to Takagisan's office the afternoon of the day after tomorrow." Keiji Ota thought Takagi Taku was worried that the oral agreement today would not work, so he explained.

"Daitansan is worried about it, and I am still very relieved to Daitansan's promise." Takuki smiled and shook his head, "What I want to say is something else."

"Another thing? Please tell me about Takagi Sang."

"That's right, I invested in a movie. It's now in the post-production stage. Since it was an independent investment from my firm and there was no support from the production committee, I would like to ask Dae Tansang, can Tobo make the movie successfully released as a distribution company?"

"Did Takagi Sang make a movie by himself?" Keiji Ota was a little surprised when he heard Taku Takagi's words.

The current era is different from the golden age of Japanese movies before the 1970s. With the popularity of televisions, movies have long since become less popular than before.

The past era when film companies produced, distributed, and released by themselves has become a thing of the past.

In the current film industry, in order to avoid risks, major movies will set up production committees even if they are optimistic about the movies, and many other companies will be invited to take the production risks together.

Even the filmmaking agreement he just reached with Taku Takagi, Toho was preparing to set up a production committee and then commission a production company to shoot.

Taku Takagi actually had the courage to shoot an independent movie in such a lonely era when Japanese movies were in a state of desolate situation.

"Yes, but I'm just investing. The filming was done by Shunji Iwai, led his team." Takuki, who didn't know what Keiji Ota was thinking, replied honestly.

"I said that Iwai Jun hasn't appeared on Fuji TV for a long time recently. It turned out that he was going to shoot a movie invested by Takagi." Chihiro Kameyama, who was standing beside him, showed a sudden realization when he heard Takuro Takagi's words. Shunji Iwai has been quite close to Fuji TV for a while, so when he didn't see him on the stage before, Chihiro Kameyama was really puzzled for a while.

"So it was Iwai Sang's work?" Keiji Ota also became interested at this time, "So have the sample samples that have been completed now?"

The film "AD" released and released by Toei last year won a total box office of 3 billion yen with very little production costs. This is well known in the film industry. The industry also praised Shunji Iwai's shooting skills and directorial level.

I remember that the film screenwriter at that time was Takagi Sang in front of me. This time, the two of them collaborated to shoot a new film. Keiji Ota was indeed looking forward to the finished product of this movie.

"It is indeed a work by Iwai Kwan, but the movie is still in post-production. If Ota Sang is interested, I can explain the general plot of the movie to you first, and then send it to you for the purpose of evaluating whether it is worth releasing." Takuro Takagi replied.
