When it was time for dinner, a waitress from the hot spring house knocked on the door one by one to invite Takeshita Kusake, Sakai Chie and Kitagawa mother and daughter to the banquet. They didn't change into formal clothes, and they were still wearing yukatas, although they knew the content of the next activity, but they didn't affect anything at all, after all, it was this kind of informal casualness in the hot spring house.

Takeshita Kusa and the others followed each other into a quiet place that had been arranged a long time ago. When they walked to the door, they were greeted by Akira Kurosawa's agent, Taro Tanaka. Taro Tanaka, who also soaked in a hot spring comfortably, wears the same as them.

There was a simple exchange of politeness and greetings between the two sides, and the content of the exchange was nothing more than the fact that the hot springs here were great. As for the topic of mutual cooperation, I am not in a hurry to talk about it at this time. Whether they can talk about it or not, it doesn't depend on the agents of the two big names, Chie Sakai and Taro Tanaka, it's all about how Takeshita Kusaka and Akira Kurosawa talk next.

The two gates are opened by two kneeling attendants in traditional Japanese kimonos sitting next to each other. Taro Tanaka, who stretched out his right hand and made a "please" inward, naturally knew that Akira Kurosawa was already waiting for them to get it. Sakai Chie, who didn't walk in the first place, also knew that the protagonist tonight was Takeshita Kusaoke, and he was the green leaf beside him. Kako Kitagawa, who held down her daughter's left and right shoulders with both hands, was to prevent Miyuki from rushing in before her father without knowing a rule.

Takeshita Kusa who bowed slightly towards Taro Tanaka stepped in while maintaining the usual walking speed. Thinking back to his previous life, he was also a fan of Akira Kurosawa, after all, the other party made a lot of good movies. Who would have thought that he would also have such a scene today where Kurosawa Akira not only treated him with courtesy, but also had a lot of sympathy.

At the moment when he saw Kurosawa's face, Takeshita Kusaka originally thought he was an old man. But I didn't expect the other party to be at the age of the prime. Akira Kurosawa, who had soaked in the hot springs first, was also wearing a men's yukata on his body. The two of them looked at each other, and they were instantly full of intriguing meaning.

"Takeshita-kun, good evening. I'm Akira Kurosawa. For such a young man who is almost thirty years old, extremely talented, and talented, it is Akira Kurosawa, who has long been admired. Although there are some politeness, there is no sense of giving life points. He was very straightforward and introduced himself straightforwardly.

"Kurosawa-kun, good evening. I'm Takeshita Kusake. "To the elderly, it is a bow to the Takeshita grass mustard, although it is said to draw a scoop according to the gourd, but it is not a mutual courtesy, but a sense of intimacy that a good friend will have at first sight. He did not exclude the film and television rights of "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Forest" to be filmed into movies by the other party, and he also had the idea of writing and editing them himself as an editor to merge them into one.

Taro Tanaka, who was waiting for Sakai Chie and Kitagawa mother and daughter to step in, walked in only three steps and two steps. He was not in a hurry to arrange a seat for the four of them. After seeing the two protagonists greeting each other tonight, his right hand gestured and said, "Takeshita-kun, please take a seat here." Knowing that he would definitely be sitting next to Kurosawa, Takeshita Kusata, nodded at him, and then walked straight to his seat.

"Miss Sakai, Mrs. Takeshita, and Miss Takeshita, good evening." Akira Kurosawa with an amiable smile on his face. Since it is a love house and Wu, it is quite courteous to the people close to Takeshita Kusaoke. What's more, he came prepared, and he didn't know the true identity and status of Sakai Chie, not just Takeshita Kusao's agent, but the only legal heir of the Sakai Foundation. Again. During her conversation with her agent, Taro Tanaka, she officially expressed her intention to invest in films based on Takeshita Kusasa's "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Forest".

"Good evening, Kurosawa-kun." The three of them said the same good thing to this Japanese international director.

"Sakai-sama, please sit on this side, and Mrs. Takeshita and Miss Takeshita, please sit on the other side." Tanaka Taro arranged Sakai Chie on the same side as Akira Kurosawa, under the head of Takeshita Kusaki. And Kitagawa Kako is arranged on the right opposite to Takeshita Kusaokei. As for Kitagawa Miyuki, she naturally sat at the very end of the right.

It is precisely because of this ingenious arrangement that it is not only the most reasonable, which is convenient for Takeshita Kusaka and Kurosawa to communicate directly, but also conducive to his exchange and discussion with Sakai Chie. And he, who sits at the top of the right, plays the role of not snubbing Mrs. Takeshita, and also facilitates the mutual conversation between her and her daughter.

Soon after the six of them sat down one after another, the hostess of the hot spring residence personally led some of her waitresses to bring the special dishes prepared in advance one by one. Takeshita Kusa and Kurosawa, who are not in a hurry to get down to business, both know that there is time for a detailed discussion. They talked about wine and talked a lot.

When the door was opened again, a young woman dressed in a Japanese kimono and wearing traditional ornaments on her head, and her face was painted as white as a dead person, and she was followed by another middle-aged woman holding a shamisen. Needless to say, one of the young women is the legendary geisha.

"Takeshita-kun, Miss Sayuri is the most famous geisha in this area." Taro Tanaka, who took the initiative to make an introduction, did not make any boasting, and introduced it realistically.

Takeshita Kusasa, who said "oh", still knows that geisha in Japan is not a lowly industry, but quite high, after all, it represents a traditional culture of Japan. A high-level geisha like the other party will not perform for ordinary people. Even if they are not rich or expensive with a certain taste, they are also wealthy high-level intellectuals in Japan. So, he didn't have a star in his heart to despise Sayuri, and smiled expectantly: "Then please Miss Sayuri and let me wait to admire your exquisite skills." ”

Sayuri, who didn't say anything, glanced sideways at her companion who was kneeling not far away, nodded her head, and heard the sound of the three-stringed accompaniment coming from the hands of the middle-aged woman. The movements are not fast, but Sayuri, who deliberately slows down her movements, smiles and raises her hands and feet to perform the most traditional dance in Japan. (To be continued.) )
