As Shinji Kirihara said, it is more appropriate to temporarily put aside "The Book of the Boat" under the current circumstances and choose to adapt "Night Hike" into a movie.

The excitement of "The Legend of the Boat" itself is undoubtedly the best proof. The recommendations of Miyuki Miyabe and others and the rising sales volume are the best proof. However, to achieve the sales target of 100,000 books, it may be a bit reluctant to rely solely on customers who are usually accustomed to reading.

Therefore, we must find ways to make "The Book of the Boat" and Shimizu Tetsu himself enter the field of ordinary people and give them the impression that "this book may be pretty good". As long as it arouses their interest in trying to read it, the subsequent things can be completed by "The Book of the Boat" itself.

Regarding this, the recommendations on the Internet have indeed played a certain role in publicity, but there is still a big gap between becoming a popular topic. In this case, Kishida Masaki hopes to rely on Shimizu Toru's appearance to maintain the popularity, while the method given by Toho is more immediate.

The 18-year-old young writer who got the opportunity to adapt a movie less than a year after his debut is enough to generate enough topics, far exceeding the level of attention the work is adapted. Moreover, it is more glorious and impactful than being on TV programs, and it may even start a new round of social discussion in a sense.

In this case, it doesn't matter which work to adapt.

Considering that the book "The Legend of the Boat" has just been released, its sales have not yet reached its peak and its influence has not reached its maximum. And when the book is well known, the news of the adaptation will be announced when the call for adapting it into a movie is the most popular choice, whether for Toho or Shimizu Tetsu himself, it is undoubtedly the choice with the greatest benefits.

Besides, there are other more realistic reasons.

"Kunhara," thought for a while, Kiyomizu Tetsu looked at Kirihara Shinji, "Although it is also adapted, "Night Hiking" is cheaper than "The Book of the Boat"?"

Kirihara was stunned for a moment and nodded with a smile.

"It's true that I didn't hide it from you."

As the writer who created these two novels, no one can understand the differences better than Shimizu Cho.

The timeline of "The Legend of the Boat" spans more than ten years. There are many different scenes in the book. The layout of each scene is quite complex, and the cost of the set is expensive just for shooting. In addition, the delicate relationship between the main characters, to show that feeling, it is necessary to invite famous actors with superb skills to play, and the pay is even more indispensable.

"Night Hiking" is different. The whole story tells what happened during a 24-hour hike. It doesn't require too complicated scenes. Picking a few suitable roads can complete most of the filming. Moreover, the main characters are 17 or 18-year-old young girls who want to perform that kind of youthful feeling, and it's just right to find a young actor who has just debuted.

Compared with the two, it is no wonder that Dongbao thinks that the adaptation of "Night Hiking" is better.

Shinji Kirihara is still explaining.

"…The cost factor was indeed taken into account when discussing. The two works may be more than ten times different, so... And Shimizu, you are a new writer and have a lack of fame. Some people's attitudes are inevitably conservative. They think they can try "Night Hike" first, and there is room for reversal regardless of success or failure."

Shimizu Tetsu understands all the truth, nodded and said nothing.

Maybe it was because of his distrust in him that he felt guilty. Shinji Kirihara added: "Although the investment is relatively limited, we will try our best in other aspects."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Kimizu Tetsu became interested and leaned forward slightly.

"In order to achieve the greatest publicity effect, we plan to invite Shimizu, you are the screenwriter."

"Huh? Am I?"

"That's right, Shimizu, you have also had relevant experience and are not a novice."

Thinking of the short script written for Miha Hamae, Shimizu Tetsu couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, "That's not a question of experience, it's been revised several times."

"Qimizu, you can have confidence in yourself. It is normal to modify the script multiple times, and my vision of choosing the script..."

Shinji Kirihara hugged his chest with his hands, revealing the momentum that a senior producer should have.

Looking at his expression, Shimizu Tetsu also relaxed, "Then I will do my best."

"No problem. If you have any difficulties, we can help you contact the famous screenwriter. You can ask them for advice at that time, but you may have to work hard."

"Then thank you Kirihara Sang."

"It's all for the movie," Kirihara waved his hand, and remembered something else, "considering the promotion, all the main characters in this movie are decided in the form of selection."

"Oh? Isn't this the case for other movies?"

"There are some, but relatively few. After all, this circle is not big. Generally speaking, there are not many actors suitable for a role, and you can confirm it by private communication. However, the main characters in "Night Hiking" are all 17 or 18-year-old students, and the requirements for actors are not high, so it is very suitable for large-scale selection."

Kirimizu Tetsu nodded, and Kirihara Shinji continued to explain Toho's thoughts.

"In order to expand its influence, this plan is to recruit publicly from the industry. As long as you are of the right age, you can fill out the registration form to participate in the selection. However, in this way, the process of casting may be very long. As the original author and screenwriter, you have the right to participate in casting, so you will still have the trouble to you at that time."

Although I didn't understand what acting is, I suddenly realized that this was a rare opportunity to obtain materials, Shimizu Tetsu chose to agree directly.

"Okay, I'll be there."

"Okay, then after I report to the higher level, the preliminary work will start immediately. Speaking of which, does Qingshui have any directors you like more?"

"Did I decide this?"

"How is that possible?"

Kirihara shook her head with a smile, "But you can talk about it casually, and it won't be sure if you can contact me."

Since I said it casually, Shimizuki simply let go of his courage.

"How about Shunjisan Iwai?"

"Shunji Iwai... He is indeed very good at directing such youth films. But he usually serves as a movie screenwriter and should not accept it."

"That...is it Hirokasa Koreeda?"

"It's even more impossible. Let's not talk about the cost of hiring him. In addition to the screenwriter, he also has to serve as an editor. Forget it, let's ask which directors have time first."

He shook his head, as if he saw Shimizu Tetsu's thoughts, and then suddenly stopped, as if he had remembered something.

"By the way, after deciding to direct the director, we will hold a press conference. At that time, the TV station and major newspapers will send reporters. Shimizu, you must attend. You may ask a lot of questions about you, remember to prepare in advance."

His news made Kimizutsu stunned for a moment.

Is this going to face the public? Although I know that there will be such a day sooner or later on the road to writers, for a newcomer who has not been in the industry for a long time, this speed is still too fast.

But so what? There is no reason to refuse at this point. What's more, why are such occasions better than on TV shows?
