Without any suspense, Suzuki eventually agreed to Adriaan's conditions. Director Miracle was also very famous in Japan. What's more, there were people from Sony persuading him from the side. Suzuki himself probably wanted to see Japanese culture cause a stir in Hollywood. All that was left were the various terms and details, which were left to the lawyers of both sides.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Shanmu. I'll remember." After Suzuki left, Adriaan said this to the Sony staff who had been running around with him.
Although it was just a show of goodwill, there was still a little sincerity in it. After all, the novel "Ring" was still quite popular in Japan. If they were to rush to his doorstep, they would probably have to spend at least twice as much effort.
"It's my honor to be able to serve you." Shanmu bowed respectfully.
Sure enough, his etiquette was thoughtful and very confusing. Adriaan chuckled in his heart, then pointed to the stack of manuscripts on the table, "So, what do you think of this, Mr. Shanmu?"
"Unfortunately, because the outline is too simple, I can't make more judgments, but it's still very novel in terms of concept." After thinking for a moment, Shanmu commented on the outline of the story called "The Grudge."
Adriaan smiled disapprovingly. Shanmu was very good at doing things, but it was still beyond him to comment on such a simple story outline. The main reason he said this was because of Suzuki's previous surprise. However, Adriaan did not say much. He pushed the manuscript in front of him, "Then, I would like to ask Mr. Shanmu for another favor. Ask a good Japanese writer to write it, whether it's a novel or a screenplay."
After a pause, he said, "If it's possible, please help me find a suitable director. This story must be made into a movie, but it's different from 'Ring'. I hope to make it into a completely Japanese-style movie. I need to use 'Ring' to attract the audience's attention to this kind of Japanese-style horror movie, so it's necessary to be more American when adapting it. Of course, I don't know the most basic things of an animated novel. This is what I promised Mr. Suzuki. That's why I hope that the writer and director of the story will be a Japanese writer and director. "
"Got it. I guarantee that Mr. Adriaan will be satisfied." Shan Mu immediately agreed. Following that, he thought of something and his expression changed.
"As I said, I need to use 'Ring' to make the audience pay attention to Japanese-style horror movies, so even if 'Ju-on' is to be adapted into a movie, it will have to be after this." Adriaan, who knew what he was thinking, laughed. Then, he reached out and patted Shan Mu on the shoulder. "Don't think too much about it, Mr. Shan Mu. I have my own plans. I've been having a great time lately."
"Hi!" Shan Mu, who understood the meaning behind his words, immediately nodded vigorously. They seemed to like to use this method to express their obedience.
It had indeed been arranged, but Adriaan would not give Sony too many benefits. He could not be 100% sure what the future would bring, because he had discovered something more interesting in Japan.
When Adriaan first came here under the guise of inspecting the Japanese market, he mainly wanted to use 'Ring' and 'Ju-on' to slightly disgust or tease the Japanese. But after arriving here, he immediately had more ideas. Some things could only be discovered through field visits.
For example, Aihui, the company that would take over most of the Japanese market from Sony Records a few years later, was only established in 1988. It was probably because they were young that they could achieve this. Many of the long-standing enterprises in Japan had quite good benefits. They treated their employees like they had a lifetime contract. As long as they entered, they would not leave. However, although this could make the employees loyal, it also limited their own development.
Now that Aihui was at a stage of rapid development, it needed a lot of funds. It was not difficult to get involved. Of course, the Japanese enterprises were intertwined, and they were just as xenophobic as the United States. Even if they did not have the shadow of a large Japanese consortium behind them now, it did not mean that they would not in the future. It would not be easy for Adriaan to get involved.
However, first of all, he did not need Aihui, and he did not intend to control Aihui. It would be enough if he could get a position on the board of directors. Although Aihui was independent of the other five major records, its influence only radiated to East Asia. So, at most, it would be a springboard for Adriaan to go to East Asia. His focus was still on Europe and the United States, so it was good to get involved. It did not matter if he failed.
Besides, it was not that he did not have the capital to negotiate. ABC and TBS were the best bargaining chips. Although the Japanese animation industry had begun to develop rapidly, it had not been fully integrated. As long as Adriaan showed the intention to broadcast Japanese cartoons on his television station, the Japanese would rush to it.
One had to know that TBS also had a lot of subscribers in Europe, and they also had a lot of good things in terms of animation, such as part of the copyright of "Tom and Jerry" and part of the copyright of "The Smurfs". Although its Hanna-Barbera animation studio was not very famous, it had also produced a lot of popular works, such as "Pretty Policewomen" and so on. So, it was very attractive in terms of animation.
It must be admitted that Japanese animation was still quite popular around the world. A few years later, it would even surpass American animation. Although this had something to do with a large number of superheroes being put on the big screen, the strength of the Japanese was also one of the reasons. If he could get the overseas copyright of Japanese animation at this time, it would be a considerable help to the development of the broadcasting company in his hands.
Of course, Adriaan did not forget to tease the Japanese. He planned to buy one or a few small animation studios in Japan. After integrating them, he would hand over the three major animation studios to them. It did not matter if they became popular or not. He just wanted to know what other popular animations the Japanese would come up with after these ideas were used. Of course, he didn't believe that the Japanese wouldn't have any other animations after the three major workers' manga were created in advance.
Just like how after he plagiarized so many movies, the outstanding Hollywood movies were still more than half, and Japanese animation also had its own sound system.
However, all these would have to wait until he returned to China to discuss with Claude. Moreover, Adriaan did not want to owe any more favors to Sony, even if he had to start from zero. Therefore, after the movie rights of "Ring" came to an end, he continued to enjoy his leisurely life in Japan.
After that night, Yuki Hui Nakama and Takiko Tsunepan accompanied him. With the two women's obedience, it was normal for them to have a threesome. They also played a lot of role-playing games. For example, Takiko played the role of a teacher, and Yuki Hui played the role of a student. Adriaan was naturally the supervisor. However, Takiko's image was a little too weak, and the teacher's appearance was slightly worse. If it was Matsushima Narako, it might be better. The latter seemed to be popular with the image of a teacher.
Thinking of this, Adriaan inevitably felt a little regretful. If he could get Matsushima Narako, then the three generations of Japanese Drama Queens after the mid-90s would be complete. After Takiko Tsunepan, the Japanese Drama Queen would be Matsushima Narako, and after Matsushima Narako would be Yuki Hui Nakama. It was quite interesting to play like this.
However, he was just thinking about it. Although he was sure that Narako had now entered the Japanese entertainment circle, and if he wanted her, he only needed to tell Shanmu. However, it was not good to bite off more than he could chew, and he would end up owing a favor.
"I really haven't been up there before. Firstly, I'm always very busy. Just last year alone, I produced two movies, and I really don't have much time. Secondly, there are always a lot of tourists. If you want to go up, you have to line up slowly like a zombie," Adriaan said as he rolled his eyes and raised his hands to make an "Oh" sound.
This funny look made Yuki Hui Nakama, who was lying down, burst into laughter. Although she covered her mouth in time, her curved eyes still could not hide the girl's unique innocence and naughtiness, making her look particularly pretty and lovely. In addition, she was wearing a long white dress. Although she was wearing sneakers, her long hair fluttered in the wind, giving her a feeling of elegance and refinement.
"Then later, do we also have to shake up the Tokyo Tower like zombies? There are a lot of tourists here. "She asked with a smile. Although her English was not very fluent, her voice was clear and pleasant to the ears.
"Forget it. If we are going up, I will book it first. Although it is interesting to share with others, it will be boring if there are too many people sharing it." Adriaan smiled.
"Is that so?" Yuki Hui replied softly. She brushed her hair behind her ear and looked at the towering Tokyo Tower in the distance. She did not speak again.
Adriaan stared at her for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to go to America to develop, Yuki Hui?"
"To … America?" The girl turned her head and revealed a surprised look.
"Yes, to Hollywood. It is the world's movie factory. Those who can be recognized there are well-deserved international superstars." Adriaan said seriously. He did not look like a big bad wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood at all.
Yuki Hui stared at him blankly, unable to react for a moment.
"Of course, this is not an easy thing. There are xenophobic situations everywhere. Hollywood is the same. There are very few actors from other countries who can develop there." Adriaan continued, his tone was quite frank, but then he changed the topic, "But with me, it is different. I believe you should know something about me. As long as I want to, I can make any actor popular, whether it is the United States, England, France, Italy, or Japan!"
"Why … Why me?" Yuki Hui asked hesitantly. She raised her hand and put it down again. She was at a loss, and her face was full of disbelief.
"It is very simple." Adriaan reached out and lifted her chin. He looked at her condescendingly with the eyes of a conqueror. "I like you."
To be honest, Adriaan did not expect that Yuki Hui, who was sent to serve him that night, was still a virgin. This was unimaginable in Japan.
Although Japan maintained the tradition of male superiority and female inferiority, in terms of sexual openness, no one could compare. Not to mention certain industries, if a Japanese girl did not have a boyfriend after entering junior high school, she would be laughed at. Even if this was a rumor that needed to be verified, the female students on the streets of Japan who were looking for help to make friends were always there.
Not long ago, when Adriaan took Takiko Tsunepan and Yuki Hui shopping, he accidentally met Denis, who was being pulled by a girl.
"I think you must have had a lot of romantic encounters recently, right?" After helping him out, Adriaan asked him jokingly, "Be careful. If this gets back to China, I don't know how your two will react."
"Don't laugh at me, Eide." Denis replied with a wry smile. "I have met a lot of girls like this in Japan these days, but it is the first time I have seen one like today. I really don't know what they are thinking. I don't dare to have anything to do with them. If it really gets back to China, it will not only be Nori and Jenny who are in trouble. "
Then he sighed and looked enviously at Yuki Hui and Takiko Tsunepan who were talking not far away. "You are still the same. You have no scruples no matter where you go."
"If you were with me back then instead of running away alone, you could do it too." Adriaan said jokingly.
"Forget it. I don't dare to do anything out of line now." Denis hurriedly shouted, and then Adriaan laughed.
Well, back to the topic, this situation is actually very normal. Generally speaking, the size of the country and the degree of sexual openness are inversely proportional. The United States seems to be very open, but most of them are concentrated in the coastal areas. The entire society tends to be conservative. There are also a lot of devout Catholic women in the inland who are conservative. As for small countries, look at France, look at Italy, look at the Netherlands. There is no need to say more.
It is precisely because of this that the signboard of using virgins as a decoration gradually began to not mention this. However, since Sony wants to entertain Adriaan, naturally, they have to use the best. Otherwise, why would they choose Yuki Hui Nakama when he has been paying attention to a few newcomers these days? From this point of view, it was believable that she was conservative. Unfortunately, she couldn't refuse the request of the higher-ups. Even if she decided not to work hard in the entertainment industry, she had to complete this task first. After all, this wasn't the United States.
Therefore, although Yuki Hui was a little resistant that night, she was very obedient on the whole. It was only when Adriaan entered that she used the excuse of moaning and sobbing softly.
But what kind of person is Adriaan? Since he can put several women with strong personalities on his shelf at the same time, dealing with such a teenage girl is not a difficult task. Don't forget where two-thirds of his soul comes from. After that night, they only spent a day and a half together. Yuki Hui's fake smile was replaced by a sincere one. Although it can't be said that she completely trusts Adriaan, and the reason why she is willing to have a threesome is more because it is a task, her heart is a lot more relaxed.
Her smile is very cute. Although she is more petite than Koiko Tsunanabe, her body is very well-developed. The shortcomings of Japanese women are not very obvious on her body. It feels especially good to hold her in his arms, and Adriaan is also tempted.
One must know that among the current few women, Monica and Sarah are the most obedient, but they also have their own independent characters. They will never be completely manipulated by men like Japanese women. Therefore, if a man has such a woman by his side, it is undoubtedly very comfortable, not to mention that this kind of personality is easy to get along with other women.
The reason why Adriaan did not touch Halle Berry's black pearl is not only because the timing is not right, but also because of this consideration. Although Halle Berry is black, her way of thinking is American. In addition to feelings and interests, the stability of the backyard needs to be fair, even if this fairness is relative. Therefore, if there is a woman with a different skin color, especially a black woman, it will be difficult to be fair. Therefore, in the future, the black pearl can only be used for friendly matches.
But Japanese women are different. Some things are engraved in their bones, even if it is a bit different like Nakajima Yukie, so there is no need to worry about the above situations when bringing her back.
"I know you must be in a bit of a dilemma. After all, it is a completely different country over there, and no matter what, this is your hometown. Oriental people have a very strong sense of home, and you may have to learn from the beginning. But going to the United States to go to Hollywood also means more opportunities, and … more freedom! There is also a Japanese community over there. If you want, you can also live there. You can even bring your family. With me around, you don't have to worry about yourself getting hurt. " Adriaan stared into her eyes and said softly, the fingers pinching her chin moving across her smooth and tender face from time to time. "I said that I like you very much, Yukie. I have many women, but I don't want to let go of the one I like. Are you willing to be my woman?"
The girl didn't answer for a long time. It was obvious that she was very conflicted. Adriaan didn't force her, and then let go of her hand. Yukie's head hung down, and after a while, she raised it again, "Can you … give me some time to think about it?"
"Of course." Adriaan smiled, "But remember to give me an answer before I leave Japan."
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Koiko Tsunepan's voice came over at this time. She had just gone to the park's bathroom. She probably felt that she had been delayed for too long, so she immediately bowed.
"It's okay, it's just a few minutes. Let's leave now." Adriaan said with a smile, then sat down and invited her.
The two women and a man walked out just like that. Although Yukie held Adriaan's arm more intimately, there was no other expression on Guiko's face.
Since Yukie Nakama was also assigned to serve Adriaan, Adriaan was obviously more interested in her. At first, she was somewhat jealous and disappointed, but she quickly adjusted herself. In the subconscious of Japanese women, it was normal for a strong man to have many women, not to mention that Yukie was so young and a virgin.
This was another reason why Adriaan wanted to collect Yukie. In this regard, her requirements were undoubtedly much lower than Kate and the others. Of course, it didn't matter if Yukie rejected him in the end. There were many women in the world, and it didn't necessarily have to be her. Although his possessiveness was strong, it was always controlled by a clear mind. Then what would the final result be?
