Chapter 009: Masakazu Taira will never perform in detective mystery dramas ... ... truly delightful

Some talent agencies are quite prominent, such as Toho and Shochiku

It did not take long before the person arrived

At this point, Kōya Sachi suddenly stopped, then looked at Tamura Masakazu and, in a peculiar tone, said, "Tamura-san, do you think I am here to harm you?"

Rakugo

Kazuya Soya thought to himself: I have never heard of it at all, I was just trying to fool you

Muneo Makino is referred to as the father of Japanese cinema, which underscores his significant reputation

Indeed, Mr. Tamura is quite a prominent figure

Oh, it is you, alright, please wait a moment

Tamura Masakazu laughed heartily, "Haha, how did you know that I really like rakugo? That's impressive. It seems that Kusano-san must have gathered a lot of information about me beforehand"

Of course, this major star could never possibly know the true meaning of what Sōya Yuki said

Mr. Tamura, I would absolutely never do such a thing, because in my view, committing such acts has nothing to do with shame. Engaging in such behavior only reflects that person's incompetence, and that person may even be quite malicious.

In fact, Koji Soya completely understands why Masakazu Tamura asked this question, as well as the underlying implications in his words

Upon hearing this, Masakazu Tamura immediately sensed something was amiss; it seemed he had overstepped his bounds.

Hello, Mr. Tamura, this is my business card

Thus, he jokingly said, "If I do not like it, how will you compensate for the time I have wasted on this script?"

Given his character, he made an advance reservation earlier

The business and workplace etiquette in island nations is indeed quite numerous... It can be rather troublesome

However, Kōya Sachi did not stop. "Bowing or performing a 'dogeza' (a deep bow with the forehead touching the ground), in essence, is merely a way to request forgiveness from the other party after committing a wrongdoing at a minimal cost, or to coerce the other party into doing something they are unwilling to do. In either case, it causes significant distress to the other party, while the only thing that person sacrifices is an intangible sense of face and a slight bending of the waist"

However, this appointment was not easy to secure. To be precise, he had made the appointment three days ago, but on that day, Friday, he failed.

A family-style entertainment company

Sitting in the chair, his back is straight, and his hands are resting on the briefcase

In fact, Kusa no Yuki's earlier exaggeration was intentional, and in the end, he deliberately revealed this flaw. Tamura Masakazu, being of such an advanced age and having such rich experiences, of course saw through it clearly. Thus, the two of them laughed heartily, marking the conclusion of this chapter.

The so-called 'Kusano-san' is referred to as such entirely due to commercial etiquette; otherwise, Tamura Masakazu would have no need to address Kusano Yukiyou with an honorific title

Tamura Masakazu's father was the super star of the early Japanese film era, Bandō Tsumasaburō

Upon hearing these words, Kōya Sachi's expression changed, and she became serious

Yuki Kono presented his business card with very standard Japanese workplace etiquette, and Masakazu Tamura also responded with the standard etiquette for receiving a business card

The reason is the same, which is to say that Mr. Tamura is currently filming

In this case, this Kōya Yuki is quite sincere

He is a person who greatly enjoys rakugo

Tamura Masakazu was already at a level of shock upon hearing this

However, just as this major star was about to explain, Yukari Koyanagi did not give him the opportunity to do so

Isn't it you? This series "Kuzuhata Ninsaburo" was originally performed by you, so when I was writing it, your image was certainly all in my mind

However, there is another type that is quite distinctive in Japan

At first, Tamura Masakazu indeed held a sense of disdain towards the young man before him, but when the term 'rakugo' appeared, he experienced a significant change in his heart

"Tamura-san, this is my script." Directly take out the script.

Thus, the performance at the front desk is rather peculiar

Thus, on Sunday, which was after finishing the conversation with Sister Akina, he straightforwardly came to this office

Oh? Once these words were spoken, the expression on Tamura Masakazu's face changed instantly. "Kusayasan, since you are aware of this, why did you come to me to submit this script?"

These few characters were written on the window of an unremarkable three-story building. When Kōsuke Sōya arrived downstairs and saw these characters, a smile appeared on his face

It was previously stated that I do not take on roles in reasoning or detective dramas, yet it has changed just like that

Kusano Yuki smiled and said, "I have heard such rumors."

It is extremely common in the entertainment industry in Japan for children to inherit their parents' professions

Such a statement left Tamura Masakazu in a daze; he was astonished yet very intrigued, as hardly anyone in the island nation had ever expressed it this way

Kusano's face turned slightly red, "Indeed, that is the case"

However, he said, "Mr. Tamura, I truly believe that you are exceptionally suited for the play I have written. As I was writing, the image of the male lead appeared in my mind, and that is you. It is as if you have already come to life in the script, and furthermore, we can even communicate with each other.

Soon, he realized that he had made a significant mistake by underestimating the young screenwriter before him

Masakazu Tamura has finally begun to turn the pages of this work "Kuzuhata Ninzaburo"

Kusano Yuki nodded slightly, her face adorned with a confident smile

Some are more steadfast in their principles and also more professional, thus they remain uncontrollable

And Koya Sachi kept staring at Tamura-san, fully aware of the standard "delicious" face.

Masakazu Tamura is a person who enjoys laughing, as evidenced by the laugh lines near the corners of his eyes. His hair is naturally curly, and although his eyes are not large, they are quite expressive. Despite his age, he gives off an impression of being somewhat unserious.

Hello, hello, oh... Kōya Sachi, Fuji Television Programming and Production Bureau

Consequently, Kōya Yuki sat up straighter, as this is a fundamental lesson in the workplace of the island nation

Xinhe Law Firm

Now, in the realm of business, meeting clients requires presenting oneself with a sufficiently proper demeanor and adhering to appropriate etiquette

However, the playful Masakazu Tamura did not agree immediately; he wanted to test the waters a bit more.

Thus, Kōya Sachi got straight to the point

The receptionist of the Xinhe Law Firm led him to a consultation room to wait

He certainly did not give up, so he called again on Saturday, but unfortunately, he was still unsuccessful

In simple terms, Kōsuke Sōya and Masakazu Tamura are completely unequal.

At that time, Mr. Tamura was indeed not present, but fortunately, the front desk helped to contact Mr. Tamura, and he finally agreed to meet.

Japanese artists are all affiliated with talent agencies

But what if I continue to refuse? Koyanagi-san, what will you do?

This indicates that Mr. Tamura is willing to communicate

Masakazu Tamura is indeed the target of Yukiyuki Kusano

It is not over yet

However, regardless of the circumstances, he must have a good conversation with Mr. Tamura

This is truly a wonderful misunderstanding

"Alright, I will take a look at the script first." At this moment, Tamura Masakazu no longer harbored any feelings of disdain.

Sankō Tsukasa is a historical superstar of the island nation, and the present Tamura Masakazu is also a major star

Reciting the other person's name is indeed a part of the ritual, and one should not underestimate this detail

There are also some smaller talent agencies, and such companies need to band together, which led to the emergence of a formidable figure from the underworld

This statement sparked great interest in Tamura Masakazu

This superstar's original name was Tamura Denkichi. He was originally the son of a cotton merchant and was recognized by the renowned director Makino Shōzō at that time, which led him to embark on a journey onto the big screen, leaving behind numerous classic films

The cautious Kōya Sachi is somewhat nervous

Mr. Tamura, do you want me to beg you by bowing or performing a dogeza?

Puchi, Tamura Masakazu laughed, and then both of them started to laugh.

However, what Tamura Masakazu felt was the sincerity of Kusano Sachi

This statement is quite interesting. Kōsuke Sayabeno thought for a moment and said, "How about this? If Mr. Tamura does not like this play, then I will invite you to watch rakugo, how does that sound?"

Oh, wait a moment. Masakazu Tamura was not in a hurry to look at the script. "Mr. Kusano, I would like to explain to you why I did not agree to meet you the first two times. It is because, as I mentioned before, I do not wish to take on detective mystery roles."

Isn't this still bad? Everything I have done is based on equality. I believe that this work of mine is suitable for Mr. Tamura. I have enough confidence that as long as you, Mr. Tamura, take a look at this script, you will definitely like it

Mr. Tamura, also known as Masakazu Tamura, is an artist of this talent agency, but he is also the owner, as this agency was established by the Tamura family themselves

I am Kusano from Fuji Television and I would like to meet Mr. Tamura

If one is incapable, that is one thing; but what is the matter with being bad

Just now

How did Mr. Tian Village become such a big shot
