Without a doubt, Suzuki eventually agreed to Adrian's terms. The title of Miracle Director was very prestigious in Japan, and Sony's people persuaded him from the sidelines. Moreover, Suzuki himself was likely keen to see Japanese culture create a buzz in Hollywood. What remained were various clauses and details, which could be handled by the lawyers of both parties.
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Sugigi, I won't forget it," Adrian said to the Sony employee who had been running around assisting him after they had settled the deal and Suzuki had left.
Although it was just a nicety, there was a bit of sincerity. After all, the novel "The Ring" was quite popular in Japan, and if they had approached without prior arrangement, they probably would have had to exert at least twice the effort.
"It is my honor to be of service to you," Sugigi bowed respectfully.
