Chapter 100: Interview (I)

When Miyazaki's lawyer came to Kitagawa's house for the second time, he brought a new contract that had been negotiated in advance for Takeshita Kusashi to charge a symbolic 1 yen to sell the film and television rights of "The Wind Rises" in exchange for a 5% box office share for future domestic and foreign screenings of the film. After holding the new contract in his hand and carefully reading it by him, Takeshita Kusaoji finally signed the name at the settlement office on behalf of his own Party B, and stamped his exclusive private seal. Leaving a contract signed and stamped by both parties, he personally sent Miyazaki's lawyer out.

As soon as the guest left, Chie Sakai arrived in the news car where her friend from the Department of Journalism at Waseda University arrived. Before that, in order to allow Takeshita Kusaka to wholeheartedly do a good job of translating the Chinese and English translations of "Rashomon" and "Heart", she delayed the interview again and again, and only waited for him to be a little free, and by the way, with the overseas promotion of the two books, she led people like his agent.

It just so happened that Miyazaki's lawyer was a face-to-face with Chie Sakai, who was not afraid of men digging the corner of Takeshita Kussake, but afraid that a beautiful editor like himself would always think about him, so he asked casually: "What is that person doing here?" ”

"He is Miyazaki's lawyer. We signed a contract for the transfer of film and television rights. That contract is still on the glass coffee table in the living room. If you want to see it, you can take it and see it. Takeshita Grass Mustard, who didn't intend to hide it, felt some of her vigilance, but smiled and said lightly.

After a pause, her eyes noticed that the two women and two men behind her were busy moving camera equipment from the news van, and asked casually, "What are you going to do here?" ”

"How did you forget? Didn't I call you the first three days and say that a TV station was going to do an interview with you? "I blamed him for his forgetfulness of Sakai Chie, but he didn't expect that just a few days after he didn't come here, a big thing happened that Takeshita Kusaoji sold the film and television rights of a book. She was both happy for him and curious, so she couldn't help but ask more: "You sold the film and television rights of that novel?" It won't be Rashomon, right? ”

"You're funny. How could Hayao Miyazaki possibly buy my Rashomon? After all, this short story work feels not only brutal, but also heavy, after all, it reflects the darker side of human nature. I guess he fell in love with my novella "The Wind Rises" because it inspired and brought him a lot of inspiration, as well as the huge ** he wanted to shoot it, and I liked his title of master of animated films, as well as box office guarantees. So, not only did we have a great conversation, but we also hit it off. "Takeshita Kusaoke, who is particularly straightforward, likes this kind of win-win situation the most.

"Qianhui, this one should be Mr. Takeshita Kusaoke!" The appearance conditions and Sakai Chie are in the middle of the best, but the temperament and taste are not as good as Sakai Chie at all, and there is a small family spirit in her bones that can't be covered up, and the hostess with a microphone in her right hand walked straight over without hurry, and came to an opening remark with a smile.

"En" Sakai Chie, who moved her body sideways, warmed up and acted as the intermediary between the two sides, and pointed at her with her left hand: "This is my college alumnus and friend Kobayashi Ayae that I have mentioned to you many times ago." She's so much better than me. Now, she is the hostess of a celebrity interview program on a TV station in Tokyo. ”

"Takeshita-sensei, don't listen to her nonsense. I'm the hostess of a small TV station and a small column, but I don't dare to talk to the editor of Japan's largest publishing house like Chie. Although it is not a high-level TV station like NHK, it is not unknown, but Kobayashi Azae, who belongs to a local station in Tokyo, smiled slightly and showed an obvious dimple on her face. She has just taken over this interview with celebrities, and her first task is to interview the current hot figures in the financial, political, sports, cultural, and entertainment circles.

In fact, people who are often popular in an industry, although the audience wants to know more about them, but it is very difficult to make appointments. On the one hand, the interviewers are very busy with work, and their schedules are very full, so they don't have much time, and on the other hand, small TV programs of their level are often not taken seriously by the interviewers.

Relatively speaking, the entertainment industry is better than other fields, after all, exposure is very important for celebrities. The most difficult interviews are with the first-line writers who have established their status in the literary world in the Japanese cultural circles. Even if the director of a TV station like NHK comes forward in person, he will not ask them for an exclusive interview. Not only in Japan, but also in the world, great writers have such a common problem, that is, they are extremely reluctant and reluctant to show up in front of the camera. At most, it is tolerant of written interviews with some literary journals and major newspapers. In their minds, the work is the first, not the individual.

I wanted to give him an interview many times, but I was politely rejected without any consultation, and by chance, I learned that Sakai Chie was the editor in charge of Takeshita Kusakei Sakusei, and I was both excited and worried. I want to show good local results so that some unconvinced people in the stage can take a good look, so I choose to take the breakthrough and take down the big writers who often have no way to have a headache to prove that their self-worth and ability are not ordinary.

At first, Sakai Chie didn't respond, after all, she also knew that the more talented and talented big writers they were, they didn't like it very much, and even disliked being interviewed by the camera, and only those writers who were bent on becoming famous and selling books would be keen on exposure like stars.

So, Kobayashi Caihui, who played the emotional card for Sakai Chie, finally won her own alumnus and friend after many soft grinding. She believes that if Sakai Chie can talk to Takeshita Kusashi in person, then the opportunity will be much greater, unlike herself who doesn't even have a chance at all.

Therefore, when Sakai Chie learned from Sakai that she could do this interview for Takeshita Kusaoke, she let all her colleagues in the station know about this matter as soon as possible. At the same time, the TV station also attached great importance to it, so it sent a team of four people to complete the celebrity interview of this show.
