Ai Fei returned home and only took a break for a while before he heard a knock on the door outside: "Hi!" Ai Yukiko answered loudly and ran over: "Ah! I'm sorry, I'm disturbing again!"

"Where is it! Please come in. Xiao Aijun? It's Mr. Nishimura who is here!"

Ai Fei welcomed him out of the living room. Sure enough, the one walking in front was Toshiki Nishimura, who was responsible for publishing his novels: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Mr. Nishimura, please come in."

"Yes." Nishimura and the man behind him took off their shoes and walked into the entrance: "Ai Jun, this is the head of the planning department from Totake Movie, Mr. Yamamoto. Yamamoto-kun, this is Ai Feijun."

"Please take care of me for the first time when I meet. I am Yamamotojiro!"

"Please take care of me when I meet for the first time. I am Ai Fei. Please come in."

"Then, I'll be disturbing!"

The three of them sat in the living room with the guest and host. Toshiki Nishimura smiled: "I heard the interview with Ai Feijun just now. Is it still going well?"

"It's okay. There are some new ideas and questions, and I'm still thinking about it. Why, did Nishimura Kwan hear it too?"

"Hi. I and Yamamoto have to wait, so I wasted a while in the tavern outside. Well, Ai Jun is really influential among the people in Ueno District!"

“Eh?”

"It's like that. Many people in the tavern gathered around the radio and listened to the radio interview with Ai Feijun. That's not all, one is named Gao... Nishimura Jun, what's that person's name?"

"Takahashi Kumamoto."

"Yes. Takahashi Kumamoto, I really praised Ai Jun's works and personality. He also said that one day Ai Jun will definitely become the top cartoonist and writer in Japan!"

Ai Fei scratched his head childishly: "Takahashikun always praises me too much because of the little things he had done before! In fact, it's not as good as he said."

Nishimura smiled: "Ai Jun looks so cute when he scratches his head! He looks like a child?"

"Haha..." Yamashita smiled in agreement.

Ai Fei waved his hand casually: "So…?"

"Oh. I wonder how Ai Jun was thinking about what he talked about last time with Ai Jun in the office of Kakugawa Library?"

"It's about making a novel into a movie, right?"

"Hi Yi." This time it was the gentleman named Yamamoto Do spoke: "My company is very fond of Ai Feijun's works and hopes to meet your requirements. As long as you agree to hand over the novel to our company for operation, any conditions can be negotiated."

"Yamamoto-kun..."

"Hi!"

"About this issue, in today's interview, I also talked about it. First of all, I am grateful to your company for paying attention to my work, but one thing I never understand is: a story that is already very familiar with and your company's people think that even if it is made into a movie, how many people will be willing to watch it?"

"Uh..." Yamamoto was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect that this young man would consider his company like this. However, they had considered such doubts, so they were not worried: "Ai Jun, the situation is actually like this. The greatest pleasure that "Points and Lines" can be dedicated to readers is the description of the crime time in the book and the criminals' mastery of the train schedule. Indeed, as Ai Jun said, a story that has been known to the end may not be liked by anyone. However, adapting a successful novel into a script or even shooting it is a process of re-creation. Of course, if you can agree, our company will organize formal personnel to adapt the work, striving to satisfy more people without hurting the integrity and thinking of the story!"

“Be more specific.”

“Eh?”

"I mean, can you explain in detail how to achieve the goal you finally mentioned?"

"Hi Yi! That's right, Yasuda and his wife Ryoko will increase their weight, especially Ryoko. Second, Officer Toriki will become the protagonist in the film to show it. Detective Mihara will become his assistant and analyze the case with him."

Yamamoto picked up the teacup and took a sip: "As for the issues that Ai Jun is worried about, I think that even if all readers know the direction of the story, they are just in their own thinking, accompanied by the ups and downs of the content in the book, and the movie will not have this problem. The audience can enjoy the adapted video in a more relaxed and comfortable manner. So, you don't have to worry about the final result."

"I understand." Ai Fei nodded: "So, can I know who the actor will be?"

"There is no confirmed actor yet, but Ms. Gao Feng Hideko has expressed her hope to play Ashi. Other actors..."

"I understand." Ai Fei held his cheek with his hands: "If this is the case, it seems that I have no more choice, right?"

"You agreed. Is that right?"

"So, what about the pay and adaptation matters? Is your company preparing to adapt the script itself, or is it down?"

"If Ai Feijun is willing to take on such a responsibility, it is naturally the best choice. Otherwise, our company will also have professional screenwriters responsible for this work."

"Please ask someone from your company to operate it? I just know a little novel. If I can have any understanding of the movie script, it will only be the content of the movie I have seen in my dreams!"

Nishimura and Yamashita smiled at each other: "If this is the case, it would be a risk! As for your pay, please rest assured that after getting your permission, our company will calculate the cost of the entire video, including Ai Jun's royalty. And it is certain that your royalty will definitely satisfy you."
