Chapter 235: Confidants are hard to find
After dancing a dance, Sayuri, who then sang a tune, bowed her head slightly, and walked to the side of the bamboo mustard with small steps. She knelt down directly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, picked up the celadon wine bottle with her right hand, and held it on one side with her left hand to pour sake into the empty wine glass for the other party.
A little farther away, a middle-aged woman kneeling and playing the three strings, first got up slowly, and then silently withdrew. Not long after she left the room, another famous geisha and the accompanying female musician walked in front and back. The reason why Taro Tanaka, who arranged it with such a high standard, didn't dare to treat Sakai Chie slowly.
What's more, once Takeshita Kusa and Akira Kurosawa reach a cooperation, she will also be the investor of the whole film. Taro Tanaka, who is shrewd, understands that if there is Chie Sakai's support for the film, then there will be no lack of funds in the middle, and there will be no interference in how the director goes about filming, and unnecessary trouble of this and that. As for the violent groups in Japan, they dare not find fault with the collection of protection money. After all, the Sakai family's influence in this country is such that even the bigwigs of various political parties have to give some face.
This geisha named Sakurako not only has a heart to perform her skills, but also has the intention of secretly competing with Sayuri. She dances and sings very hard, just to be recognized in front of these people with status and status, and at the same time, she wants to overwhelm Sayuri.
"Takeshita-kun, I intend to make a film based on "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Forest". Do you have any good advice for me? "Kurosawa Akira, who has been drinking for three rounds and has five flavors of food, is not in a hurry to cut into the main topic tonight.
Takeshita Kusaoke, who was holding a round celadon shot cup in his right hand, did not rush to answer, but threw the sake in the cup into his belly as soon as he tilted his head. He didn't put the wine glass down, and moved the empty glass to the position where Sayuri could easily pour the wine. On the one hand, he said slowly: "The background of "Rashomon" and the content of "In the Bamboo Forest" are recombined to make a movie with suspense. ”
"Heroes see the same thing. I just don't know if I can ask Takeshita-kun to be the screenwriter of such a film? Akira Kurosawa, who let out a hearty laugh, had exactly this idea brewing in his head. It's definitely the most enjoyable thing to work with a writer who understands your intentions and ideas, because it's easy to find a friend and a confidant. This time, I personally invited the national writer Takeshita Kusa to come forward as a screenwriter, which is undoubtedly the best choice.
Seeing that he is a cheerful person, Takeshita grass mustard. In his right hand, Sayuri poured himself a glass full of sake, but he didn't drink it all. After a little silence, he said calmly: "It's not impossible for me to be a screenwriter. I have one condition, though. If you agree, I will be a screenwriter for the first time in my life, and the last time I will be a screenwriter is for you and me to be familiar at first sight. ”
"Please." Akira Kurosawa, who stretched out his right palm and made a special gesture, wanted to make this movie a classic. With a serious expression, he listened to the condition that the other party was about to offer.
"How do I go about writing content without you having to interfere with it. If you don't know, I'll add or subtract from my script. We will terminate the cooperation immediately. Of course, if there is anything wrong with the shooting, you have to discuss it with me in advance, and I can only make a change after I agree. As for how you go about making a movie, I don't have the right to ask. If you can accept my conditions, we will be partners. The sake glass containing the sake was moved to the other side of the Takeshita Kusake, and made a waiting glass.
It's the first time in my life that I've met Akira Kurosawa, who is such a great screenwriter. I can also understand that after all, the person I am facing is not an ordinary writer. Rather, it is Japan's premier national writer, Takeshita Kusaoke. Not only did he and he hit it off at first sight, but they also sympathized with each other. Akira Kurosawa is fully able to understand that "if you change a word, it will be like lewd my mother" is the most suitable for a great writer of Takeshita Kusaoke's level. It is not without hesitation to face this harsh condition he proposed, after all, his fame and talent are not small, and they are not inferior to him at all. If he leads him by the nose, it's really not good.
Kurosawa was silent for a while. He raised his glass to face Takeshita Kusaoke, but he didn't rush to clink glasses with him. He understood what people said about it, and he expressed his concerns and said: "You write the content of the screen, I can make a promise and not interfere." But. As you know best, this script and the novel are two completely different performance themes. To say something offensive to you, the novel you wrote, it is definitely with an international master. Anyway, it's your first time writing a screenplay, and you're a newcomer. Of course, I wouldn't question your ability to handle words and your natural talent. ”
understands that he is worried that he will not write the script as brilliant as the novel, and he also expresses his understanding of him, after all, the positions and majors of the two are different, which makes the angle of looking at the problem also deviate greatly. Before that, I really didn't have a script that I could provide the other party with reference. The other party has concerns, and that is reasonable.
"Kurosawa-kun, look at how this goes. I'll first adapt the two novels into one script, and then I'll give you a look. If there is anything wrong with this and any conflict in the shooting, we can sit down and discuss it together. I'm sure you're not a director who makes vulgar films to cater to the audience's tastes, and I'm not a kitsch writer. "Takeshita Kusaoke, who has carried out an empathy, does not blindly stubbornly hold his own opinions, but wants to bring spiritual and sensory enjoyment to the audience in the parallel world of this classic film.
The wine glass in his right hand and he "dang" when it was Kurosawa Akira who touched the voice, fully felt that this was a confidant, after all, each other understands each other's hearts, and knows a mutual understanding. He drank the sake in the cup in one sip, and it was really worth the trip. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
At the same time, just as Takeshita Kusaka and Akira Kurosawa were talking to the right topic, Taro Tanaka and Chie Sakai really sweated for them, after all, both of them are internationally renowned Japanese celebrities, and I am afraid that they are both stubborn and do not compromise and compromise with each other, and it is not good to have an unhappy breakup due to endless arguments.
