Asuka Kobayashi felt that Shirakawa Kaede's request was unreliable. Can the authorization fee be paid in installments? How could such a good thing happen?

However, the reality soon exceeded her expectations. This man named Andre seemed to be more anxious than she was.

Not only did they immediately agree to the request, they also urged them to pay immediately.

In fact, Andre cannot be blamed for this. He is in Europe and sees that no one is interested in the patent application for two years.

Those famous big companies looked down on his creativity at all, and Andre's so-called portable concept was a complete imitation in their eyes.

Speaking of the Walkman, the concept of a real cassette tape player first appeared at the Electronics Expo in 1963.

The manufacturer was Philips, so it was Philips who was most disdainful of Andre's so-called creativity.

Therefore, for Andre, who has been rejected several times, now that the enemy has finally come to his door, why not take it down quickly?

Even though he didn't even know where the RB was, he knew that £20,000 was definitely a huge sum of money in 1979.

It's hard to get into a big company, but it's easy to get money from this small company.

So in a win-win situation where Andre felt that he had made a profit and Shirakawa Kaede felt that he had missed something.

"Let's do this, I will introduce another producer to you and let him be your deputy producer.

All in all, he looks like a child who listens to his parents, but..." Kitano Takeshi paused, "Sometimes he seems to be restless, and recently he became the president of a vinyl record opportunity club."

"Oh~" Oshima Nagisa became interested, "He also dropped out of Meiji?"

The patent authorization was obtained, and the development of the Walkman was carried out step by step.

The two parties signed the patent licensing agreement cordially and friendly. One immediately called for payment and the other immediately paid, without giving the other party a chance to regret.

Although Masayuki Mori was there to help, Kitano, who was unsure, was still going to ask seniors in the industry for advice.

Oshima Nagisa waved his hand nonchalantly, "Anyway, you will know after contacting me, and you want your movie to be released smoothly.

But no matter what, this is also a rare learning opportunity.”

As an internationally renowned director, Nagisa Oshima has extensive experience as a film crew.

He is quite optimistic about the future performance of this junior who has a background in comics.

"Kazuyu Okuyama is not as simple as you think. He really has film production experience, and at least he is more reliable than your team."

So Takeshi Kitano couldn't wait and immediately started preparations for the crew in a hurry.

"The script can be filmed, so let's try it." Oshima Nagisa closed the script and gave it to Kitano Takeshi.

Oshima Nagisa put down the script in his hand and glanced at Kitano Takeshi who was sitting on the side holding his breath.

“But if a movie is to be successfully completed, the smooth operation of the crew is the most important thing.

Oshima Nagisa was stunned for a moment, and then he burst into laughter. He had seen students making movies, and he had never seen students write scripts, make movies, and be president-san.

In this case, can I also be a hands-off shopkeeper and experience the real life of President-san?

Kitano Takeshi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Senior, I would like to take the liberty to ask, who is this producer?"

There are hundreds of movies a year, and it would be great if one-third of them are released in theaters.

"By the way, the operation of the crew cannot be separated from a capable producer. Have you made a decision on this candidate?"

After receiving a positive answer, Takeshi nodded inexplicably. He hesitated to speak, but finally fell silent.

"Hmm~" Oshima Nagisa nodded. He still has some relevant experience, but TV stations and movies are two different things.

With this, I won’t be afraid of big brother Sony causing trouble in the future.

Ten thousand pounds is the most practical thing you can get. The next ten thousand pounds is naturally the best, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t have them.

"Hai" Kitano Takeshi nodded, "TV Asahi's program producer, Morimasa Yuki-san."

"Kazuyu Okuyama" Oshima Nagisa spit out a name.

Bai Chuanfeng happily looked at the contract still smelling of ink in his hand, shaking with satisfaction.

Oshima Nagisa nodded and confirmed his guess, "Okuyama Kazuya's father is Okuyama Rong-san."

Takeshi Kitano, who was carefree and indifferent in front of Shirakawa Kaede, was as obedient as a little sheep in front of Oshima Nagisa.

After the male and female protagonists are decided, the most important thing left is the team behind the scenes.

Bai Chuanfeng suddenly found that he, the president Sang, seemed to be free.

However, when he saw Takeshi Kneeling in front of him, he seemed to think this was reasonable. After all, it was normal for a restless person to have several restless friends around him.

Andre even had no expectations for the follow-up payment of 10,000 pounds from Shirakawa Electric. Who knows whether this so-called Walkman can be sold.

Takeshi Kitano nodded cautiously, "The script was written by one of my Meiji juniors. Oh, by the way, he is also the male protagonist of this movie."

Among the seniors he knew, the only one who could admire him with admiration and encourage him to enter the film industry was the famous director Nagisa Oshima.

…

If it cannot be sold, this small RB company may go bankrupt.

Takeshi Kitano was shocked, "The president of Shochiku Pictures is Mr. Rong Okuyama. This Okuyama and Yu-san..."

Although he is relatively young, he has had one or two film production experiences. He must be a good fit for your film team."

As a supervisor, the entire crew will operate under your command. Whether you can coordinate well depends on your ability.

Kitano Takeshi choked, then shook his head in embarrassment, "He is different from me, he is the kind of good student.

A powerful club like Shochiku is also an indispensable help, so just be content."

"Hey" Kitano Takeshi grinned a little sheepishly. To be honest, he really thought so at first.

The answer is impossible.

"It's very Kurosawa Aki-san's style, but it's not your type of comedy, which is quite surprising."

Since the last meeting between Summer Festival and Takeshi Kitano, the film's biggest financial problem has been solved.

If Oshima Nagisa hadn't explained, Kitano Takeshi might have thought that a relationship person had been forced into his team.

This is true. Many independent films cannot find a way to achieve this kind of relationship.

"Boy, don't worry so much." Seeing Kitano Takeshi's aggrieved look, Oshima Nagisa couldn't help laughing.

Takeshi Kitano nodded, feeling a lot more comfortable this time. This also provided a lot of help for the post-production of the film.

I got a positive answer from Oshima Nagisa, and also received additional help.

So Kitano, who no longer had any scruples, immediately informed Shirakawa Kaede to join the group and prepare for filming.

And our President Shirakawa, who had just been idle for less than half a day, had to switch to the film industry non-stop.

Alas, capable people are like this, they can shine wherever they go.
