Doma Mai was more serious today. As soon as she got home, she sat down at the coffee table and continued studying.
In the afternoon, she was a little stimulated by the other three people in the club. Now she was wholeheartedly thinking about opening the "book". As soon as she got home, she started writing furiously.
Looking at Doma Mai studying seriously, Yushan Heren felt a little ashamed. To be honest, he had not studied well during this period of time.
……
At eight o'clock in the evening, Yushan Kazuto was sitting in a cafe, looking at Sakurajima Mai.
"Senior Mai, are you the one from the competition committee who came to discuss the contract with me?" Looking at Mai Sakurajima, Kazuto Yuyama said angrily.
"What's wrong? Do you think I'm not suitable for this job, Kazuto?" Sakurajima Mai smiled.
"No, that's not what I meant. I just feel it's a little strange." Yushan Heren said.
Although Mai Sakurajima has a close relationship with the racing committee, it is not to this extent.
This kind of officially authorized work is not big, but it is not small either. It should not be necessary to let a manager as a spokesperson sign the contract.
"Well, it's true that I wasn't the one who came to sign the contract today, but the other party encountered a traffic jam on the way here, so I just sat in her seat temporarily." Sakurajima Mai smiled.
"I see." Yushan Kazuto said, but his brows frowned again and he glanced at Sakurajima Mai.
After removing Sakurajima Mai's official identity, another question arises. Since Sakurajima Mai is not an official personnel sent here, then what is her purpose here?
Looking at Sakurajima Mai, Yushan Kazuto finally did not ask. The two of them just sat in the private room of the cafe, facing each other.
A few minutes later, the door of the private room opened and an urban beauty walked in.
The other person's hair seemed a little messy and her breathing was not very steady. It was obvious that she had run here.
"Sorry, Mr. Yushan, Miss Sakurajima, I'm late." The urban beauty who had just entered the door gently tidied her hair and spoke very sincerely.
"It's okay, Ms. Katada." Sakurajima Mai said with a smile.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink, and Sakurajima Mai seemed to know the other person, so she had to nod.
"Mr. Yushan, this is the first time we meet. Please allow me to introduce myself."
Yushan Kazuto responded in a low voice, and the other party continued: "My name is Katada Eto, and I am a national contestant.
Director of the Publicity Department of the Tournament Committee, please give me your guidance. "
"Kazuto Yushan." Kazuto Yushan gave his name.
Even though Katada Eto should know her name, Hayama Kazuto still said it.
Katada Eto nodded and found an empty seat to sit down. "I came here mainly to discuss the authorization of the comic on Twitter. Mr. Yushan, have you brought the artist's authorization documents and documents proving the artist's identity?"
Yushan Kazuto blinked and took out an authorization document and a comic that had already been printed.
Looking at the plastic-wrapped comic, Katada Jiangtao couldn't help but blink slightly: "Here, can I open it?"
"Yeah." Yushan Kazuto responded and motioned Katada Eto to open it.
Kazuto Yuyama has already discussed this with Sagiri Izumi. As long as the official organizing committee does not require the original version of the manga, everything else is allowed.
Katada Eto carefully opened the comic and flipped through a few pages at random.
"So... has the original author completed the entire comic?" Katada Eto confirmed.
"It's already been completed, now it's just being released separately." Yushan Heren said.
Katada Eto nodded: "If that's the case, then the identity of the artist can be confirmed. Please keep this comic, Mr. Yushan."
Katada Eto closed the comic book and returned it respectfully.
Chapter 1548 Conditional Exchange
"Now that the identity has been confirmed, the authorization agreement should be able to be signed." Yushan Kazuto put away the comics and asked.
Katada Eto couldn't help but blink slightly. It was the first time she saw Yushan Kazuto being so impatient.
Normally when they go out to discuss cooperation, those people would like to chat with Katada Eto for a while longer, but they didn't expect that when it came to Yushan Kazuto, it would turn out like this.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yushan, although the organizing committee has agreed to the authorization in principle, some details of the contract still need to be discussed in detail." Katada Eto said.
Mai Sakurajima also nodded. Because it was related to the promotional video, Mai Sakurajima also needed to attend.
Yushan Kazuto could only sigh and said, "Then please tell us your request, Director Katada."
"As for the comics, I don't have much to criticize. The storyboards and character details are all very well done. Although there are some similarities with the broadcast footage, this is not a big problem."
Listening to Katada Eto speaking, Yushan Kazuto kept nodding.
"It's mainly about the promotional video. Mr. Yushan, our next promotional video needs to be shot within two months, which means it should be ready before the summer vacation begins. Mr. Yushan, are you free during this time?"
"Well, I'm basically free every weekend, as long as it's not this weekend." Yushan Heren said.
"I understand. We won't let you shoot this weekend. There's still some preparatory work to be done in the early stages, so shooting won't start until the end of June or early July." Katada Eto wrote and drew on the notebook.
"Yeah." Yushan Heren responded. It wouldn't take long to shoot a promotional video, and Yushan Heren would always be able to find some time during that time.
"Another question is about the tacit understanding between Miss Sakurajima and Mr. Yuyama." Katada Eto said slowly.
"Eh, tacit understanding?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink. What kind of tacit understanding is needed to shoot a promotional video?
"The promotional video requires the cooperation of both of us, and some of the more difficult moves require a certain level of tacit understanding." Mai Sakurajima explained.
"Difficult moves?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but pursed his lips. Sakurajima Mai's ball skills were not bad, but just not bad. She definitely couldn't complete some of the more difficult moves.
"So, what does the organizing committee require of us?" Yushan Kazuto looked at Katada Eto.
"We hope that Mr. Yuyama and Ms. Sakurajima can undergo some training in advance to develop a level of tacit understanding. When it comes to filming, we can also make certain adjustments based on the level of tacit understanding between the two of you." Katada Eto said.
"Hmm..." Yushan Kazuto's voice dragged out. A promotional video requires such a long preparation time, which is a bit beyond Yushan Kazuto's original expectations!
"Actually it won't take up too much time. Just do some coordination training on the weekends." Katada Eto said.
She also knew that this request was unreasonable, but now that she had the opportunity, she would not let it go.
"Sorry, if that's the case, I may need some time to consider it." Yushan Heren said.
Katada Eto took a deep breath. She knew that Yushan Kazuto would not compromise so easily.
However, it would take up Yushan Kazuto's time after all, and Katada Eto had already anticipated Yushan Kazuto's reaction. Fortunately, she was well prepared:
"Mr. Yushan, we have a project proposal for painters. Are you interested in listening to it?"
"A plan targeting painters?" Yushan Kazuto blinked and looked at Katada Eto.
"It's like this. We plan to shoot a promotional video first, and then make it into an animation for release. The comics and character design of this promotional video can be handed over to the artist you know."
Yushan and Ren blinked slightly, this was equivalent to an exchange of interests.
Kazuto Hayama cooperated with the official organizing committee to shoot a promotional video, and the organizing committee then handed over some of the work before the promotional video was turned into an animation to Sagiri Izumi.
This is a great boost to Izumi Sagiri's popularity. Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but take a deep breath. This time he was really hit in the weak spot.
"Is the promotional video for the animated version the same one we discussed before?" asked Kazuto Yuyama.
Katada Eto blinked. She was a little surprised that Yushan Kazuto reacted so quickly.
"It's not the same one, but as long as the two of you have good chemistry, we can guarantee that the filming can be completed within one day." Katada Eto said.
Kazuto Yuyama blinked slightly and shot two promotional videos, one of which was released directly as a finished film, while the other was not released and was made into an animation instead.
One is three-dimensional, the other is two-dimensional, a two-pronged approach, the national competition committee is really a marketing genius.
Moreover, because the promotional video that Izumi Sagiri was responsible for was not released in advance, it will inevitably bring more traffic to Izumi Sagiri, which is also the exchange condition of the national competition committee.
"I understand." Yushan Heren took a deep breath, picked up the coffee, and took a sip carefully.
"Mr. Yushan, please think about it for a while longer." Katada Eto said.
"No need, I agree to this contract." Yushan Kazuto shook his head and put down the coffee.
"But I don't know if Ms. Sakurajima would agree."
"Ms. Sakurajima had already signed the contract before she came here," said Katada Eto.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but look at Sakurajima Mai, it turned out that the other party came to act as a lobbyist.
However, before Sakurajima Mai could take action, he had already agreed to the contract.
"Then please sign this contract, Mr. Yushan."
Katada Eto opened her shoulder bag, flipped through it carefully, and found a slightly thicker contract.
Looking at the contracts in Katada Eto's bag, Yushan Kazuto seriously suspected that the other party had prepared multiple contracts in advance, and Yushan Kazuto would sign whichever one he agreed to.
After taking a look at the contract and making sure there were no traps, Yushan Heren quickly signed it and handed it back to Katada Eto.
Katada Eto took out another contract, but this one was not about the promotional film.
"This is the official authorization contract from the tournament committee. Please keep it safe, Mr. Yushan." Katada Eto said.
Yushan Heren blinked slightly and took the contract. This was his main goal this time.
"Can I still enjoy the share of the surrounding profits?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but smile.
"Well, but whether we can produce peripheral products depends on the response to the comics." Katada Eto said with a smile.
Yushan Kazuto nodded, confirmed that it was correct, and put it together with the comics he brought.
Chapter 1549 Training Time
"Senior Mai, how many promotional videos have you signed with the National Competition Committee?"
Driving on the streets of Tokyo, Hayama Kazuto couldn't help but ask.
"Two." said Sakurajima Mai.
"Two?" Yushan Kazuto's voice rose an octave. "If there are only two, then they have already been filmed, right?"
Kazuto Yuyama remembered that the official Twitter account of the national competition released a promotional video before the game, and another one after the final. Logically, Sakurajima Mai's contract should have ended.
"My contract is the same as yours, both are newly signed!" said Sakurajima Mai.
"Huh?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly, not quite understanding the purpose of Sakurajima Mai's doing this.
It was such a troublesome promotional video, and Mai Sakurajima’s contract had already been completed, but they signed two more.
“Mai-senpai, why…”
"Okay, now that we've signed, don't think too much about it. Instead, we might as well decide where to practice on the weekend." said Mai Sakurajima.
Kazuto Yushan blinked. What Sakurajima Mai said made sense, but Kazuto Yushan always felt that something was wrong.
"Why don't we train at Toyonosaki? There aren't many people there on weekends, so we can train in the stadium." Yushan Kazuto said.
"But doesn't your school have an appointment with Tokyo FC Club's U23 team this week?" said Mai Sakurajima.
"That was on Friday afternoon." Yushan Kazuto explained, "Hey, Mai-senpai, how did you know about the battle?"
"I'm also following the Toyonozaki Soccer Club's Twitter!" said Sakurajima Mai with a smile.
"Are you following me using a secondary account?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink.
At least Mai Sakurajima's main account does not follow the official Twitter account of Toyonosaki Soccer Club.
Mai Sakurajima just smiled and said nothing.
"Then let's practice at Fengzhizaki." said Yushan Kazuto.
The turf at Toyosaki Stadium is natural grass after all. Other places may not have such good turf conditions!
"Then see you at Toyonozaki at three o'clock this afternoon this weekend?" said Mai Sakurajima.
"Hey, I don't have time this weekend." Yushan Heren said hurriedly.
"As for next weekend...well, let's talk about it then. I can't be sure of the exact time." Yushan Heren said.
"Kazuto-kun is really busy on the weekend!" Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but say.
"Sometimes it's just a small thing, just a small thing." Yushan Heren coughed lightly and parked the car on the side of the road.
"We're here, Mai-senpai."
Mai Sakurajima raised her head, glanced at her apartment, and couldn't help but blink slightly.
When the car door was opened, the first thing exposed to the air was a pair of gorgeous legs in black silk stockings and lovely leather shoes stepping on the ground, as if stepping on some people's hearts.
"Goodbye, Junior Kazuto." Mai Sakurajima waved her hand and said.
