Chapter 181: Akira Kurosawa
Walked out of the room and strolled through the courtyard Sakai Chie, enjoying this kind of good time without external interference, and only himself and Takeshita Kusaokei were together. She didn't steal half a day's leisure, and after walking side by side with him for a distance, she said slowly: "Akira Kurosawa's agent came to me in person." Not only are they interested in buying the film and television rights of your books "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Forest", but they also very much hope that you can take on the role of screenwriter yourself. ”
Hearing this, Takeshita was shocked, so that his feet naturally stopped. As far back as I can remember, Kurosawa died in the mid-nineties of the last century. If he wasn't dead, what would he have to be like to age? The other party may not have a lot of time waiting for him to make a combined adaptation of "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Forest".
With him was Chie Sakai, who stopped down, and saw that he didn't squeak, but knew that he was listening carefully. She had the precedent of Takeshita Kusaka selling "The Wind Rises" to Hayao Miyazaki as an animated film, and continued: "I made it very clear to Kurosawa's agent that you will not only sell the film and television rights of those two books, but will participate in the box office with them at a symbolic price of one yen." Besides, you won't be the screenwriter of the film. ”
Takeshita Kusaoke, who was extremely satisfied with her handling of it, nodded his head twice with a smile. I deeply feel that I can't live without Kako Kitagawa, and I can't do without Chie Sakai at work. So, instead of continuing to think about why Kurosawa Akira hadn't died yet, he had already understood that in the parallel world he was in, although most of it was the same as the previous world, there were still some differences and changes. I became more and more aware that it was precisely because of the disappearance of some of Japan's great writers that a series of ripples and diffusion effects had been triggered around them.
Chie Sakai, who gradually showed a charming smile on her face. In terms of work, he is not only a partner of Mustard Hui Publishing House, but also his agent. The reason why she didn't make a special phone call to explain to Takeshita Kusaka was that she didn't negotiate with Akira Kurosawa's agent. Although the other party promised to give a satisfactory box office high score, he insisted again and again, without the slightest concession, which meant that he wanted to ask Takeshita Kusaoke, the original author, to be the adaptation of the movie script.
"I and the guy did everything we could, but we couldn't dissuade them from asking you to take the position of editor of the film yourself. If you are not the editor of the film. They may not buy the film and television rights of the books "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Forest". Chie Sakai, who gave a summary of yesterday's business negotiations, was calm and smiled.
"It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let them go. Anyway, I don't have a lot of money on my hands lately, so I don't have to wait for the money to be spent. To buy or not to buy, that's their freedom. If you buy it, you can make a lot of people profit from it. Don't buy it. That's a huge loss for them. Showing an indifferent look of Takeshita grass mustard, he turned his body and re-moved his steps to the front. At the moment, he is not afraid of revealing his stuffing, but he is indeed lacking in skills, after all, he is working on his first original novella.
With him again, Sakai Chie, who was taking a slow walk, had no intention of enjoying the good scenery of her own garden, after all, she was already tired of seeing it. And with your eyes closed, you know where you're going. Although it is not the first time to accompany him like this, it is indeed the first time in his own home. The smile on her face became more and more charming. Said bluntly: "Takeshita-kun, I like your confident appearance the most. If this kind of thing were another writer, I would have been excited. On the one hand, it is possible to obtain a lot of tangible benefits from the works for which he has transferred copyrights, and on the other hand, it is possible to bring it to the screen by Akira Kurosawa, Japan's No. 1 international director, and to respect the original author's intentions so that more people around the world can see and know about it. It's a great thing. ”
After a pause, she couldn't help but look at him more. I know very well that Takeshita Kusaka is not a person who loves money, and continued: "Now, the most intuitive feeling you give me is that your work will make Kurosawa Akira and the male and female leading actors. Instead of them to further spread your short stories "Rashomon" and "In the Bamboo Forest" widely. ”
Although he did not explicitly state the true situation of his original world, he said very vaguely: "If Kurosawa really thinks that my two short story works are good, and can inspire him to be a great inspiration and passion for the film industry, and want to put it on the screen, he will not give up so easily." How can a person who gives up easily achieve great success in his career? ”
Chie Sakai, who shook his head slightly, saw the stubbornness in his personality with his heart. Since Kurosawa can have the status he has today, it must be something extraordinary. Talent and talent are one aspect, and the other, more important aspect, is stubbornly sticking to what he thinks is right. For this reason, she can't deny that even she is such a person.
"Well, I'll be waiting for them to look at the cottage with antichalamation. I just don't know if they can please move you, Zhuge Liang? Sakai Chie, who really can't see through whether Takeshita Kusaoji will definitely not be a screenwriter for the film, vaguely feels that if the other party's sincerity is enough, it is not completely without a little hope. If he really didn't have to talk about this principle, he wouldn't say too much. Of course, she didn't plan to tell the other party such a situation, so she had to promote this cooperation, after all, she would always be with Takeshita Kusaokei and stand in the same trench.
just smiled, and didn't make a direct statement Takeshita Kusaoke, in the spirit of casual mentality. This divine arrangement is destined to happen, and no matter what human beings do, it is impossible to change it. On the contrary, it is useless to force what does not belong to you. With his head raised at a forty-five degree angle and his eyes looking at the sky, he was not only in a very complicated mood, but also thoughtful. I really don't understand, did he possess Japan and traveled to this world, did such an accident that cannot be explained by science make him successful, or did his unexpected arrival make this world a better place?
