Chapter 204: First Week Box Office, 400 Million Yen!
This movie is just amazing!
It is very reasonable that Nomoto appeared at the premiere as the editor of "Weekly Bunharu", and of course he was shocked by the luxurious lineup of the film before, but he thinks that no matter how luxurious the lineup is, it is not as good as the movie itself.
After watching the movie, the editor decided that this one was excellent, although the hero Onodera at the end died, which is very different from the original, but Japan was not saved.
Also, the disaster scenes in this movie are certainly very impactful, but it is the performances of those politicians that are really powerful.
That Prime Minister Yamamoto, what he did was right or wrong?
Maybe he didn't know it, but in the end he had to choose that way.
And the successor is still deceiving the public, is his behavior so shameless?
It doesn't seem to be good to say either.
The point is, what is shown in this movie may be more extreme, but any normal person will feel that this is likely to happen after watching it!
Yes, it makes sense.
This is what really shocks people's hearts, whether it is the concealment of high-ranking Japanese officials or the last act of inserting a knife by the United States, as long as you think about it carefully, you can come to such a conclusion, which is very logical.
Now that the movie is over, Nomoto is very curious, there are a few Americans sitting next to him, the reason why he is sure that it is the United States is completely because he heard the other party also whispering, he wants to ask these Americans, the reason is also very simple, there are many plots about the United States in this movie, how will they feel after watching it?
He's a journalist.
"Well, I'm curious, do you think the plot here is OK?"
Nomoto asked in a whisper in English, he was still confident in his English.
The Wachowski brothers and Keanu Reeves were a little stunned.
It's true that some of them didn't understand what was being said clearly, but the three of them had done some homework before, and when they came to Japan, they had to learn to say a few words like this, so that they could be treated with kindness.
"You Japan is so good!"
"Your Japanese streets are so clean!"
"Your sushi is delicious!"
One sentence per person, all in Japanese, Nomoto smiled, because he didn't understand much either.
Well, in fact, Wachowski they are talking about the standard Japanese Heisei version of the wealth code, but alas, the pronunciation is really terrible.
Fortunately, Nomoto Wen is sharp-eyed, and he couldn't see clearly before, but now the lights are on, and that handsome guy is Keanu Reeves!
After all, it's gossip, and this quality should still be there.
So, go ahead and ask, it's better to keep it simple.
"Do you think this movie is OK?" Actually, there are only two words in English, film-ok?
This was understood, and Wachowski and the others nodded hurriedly.
"Great!"
"Sbarassi!"
“goodgood。 ”
In any case, the few of them have completed a very strange exchange.
Nomoto Wenren has also achieved his goal, and the Americans all say yes, it seems that Yuki Kusano's movie is indeed quite good.
However, he is already thinking about how to hold a character like Keanu Reeves down.
Isn't it great that the movie is now over, and that there is nothing wrong with it in the United States?
Then, you have to ...... as an editor
The three American friends are already withdrawing, and they have to keep up!
But I didn't want to, when Nomoto Wen chased them out, these three had already been discovered.
"Ah, isn't this Mr. Keanu Reeves?"
"I love your "Life and Death" so much!"
"Can you sign me?"
Although he had long hair, he was not so careful when he left the scene this time, and he was recognized as a result.
You know, this is a premiere, it's too normal for a celebrity or something, but a celebrity like Keanu Reeves is not ordinary, he is so handsome, and the Japanese, especially the girls, have little resistance to him.
Moreover, the premiere itself invited a lot of media reporters, can these reporters not seize the opportunity?
Hula guy surrounded the three of them in Keanu, and as for the Wachowski brothers, the two of them are not famous now, but the handsome guy can't run away.
So, what to do!?
"You Japan is so good!"
"Your Japanese streets are so clean!"
"Your sushi is delicious!"
The three of them invariably spoke Japanese again, repeating the wealth code of the Heisei era again.
Did it work?
"Thank you so much!"
"Great!"
"So we're so famous in Japan!"
It seems to be useful, and everyone laughs, but fortunately, after all, the reporters came prepared, and immediately used the previous long guns and short cannons again.
"May I ask Mr. Reeves, what do you think of this movie?"
"You must have been invited to the premiere, right? So, how do you feel now?"
"Yes, do some of the plots in this movie bother you?"
In this case, the three of them are no strangers, even the Wachowski brothers have had movies released before, but the "Last Assassin" only made $120,000 at the box office in the end, but it doesn't matter, anyway, Warner is very optimistic about the two of them.
As for Reeves, not to mention.
So, now still talk about the wealth code?
"This movie is just too profound. Larry was the first to give a thumbs up.
"This is the most special disaster movie I've ever seen. The younger brother followed.
"I really hope to see Director Grass now!" Keanu Reeves was in a desperate mood.
It should be said that when an American friend said this, the Japanese reporters were happy, but a question immediately arose in everyone's minds.
Who the hell is this Director Grass?
Leave this question aside for now, or continue with the interview...... By the way, why don't you ask the others.
yes, it's not good to keep grabbing other American friends and asking, isn't it?
So, how do others feel?
There were a lot of celebrities this time.
"The Grass Supervisor gave us a whole new philosophy!"
"Superintendent Kusano is indeed a genius!"
"What this film shows should make us think deeply!"
"I recommend this movie to all Japanese people!"
Sakai Masaaki, Nishida Toshiyuki, and other celebrities have given full affirmation, so how many special friends are there?
Akina is much simpler, "I like this movie very much!"
Shizuka said, "Nice movie." ”
Miyuki Nakajima said generously: "Being able to make such a movie is something that Japan is proud of!"
That's a great evaluation.
The reporters were in a hurry for a while, very happy, regardless of whether such an assessment would attract objections, it was definitely news anyway.
So, what about the main creator?
Do you have confidence in your films?
There is a creator who must not let go, and his self-evaluation is also absolutely important.
He is Takuya Kimura!
At this moment, I saw Kimura facing the reporters with a solemn face, "Here, I want to say, thank you very much to Director Kusano! This movie can also be seen as the official beginning of my film career!"
Very solemn!
All of a sudden, the reporters were also excited, and everyone understood what this meant, and Takuya Kimura's words were equivalent to the greatest compliment.
yes, is this the beginning of his real film career?
That's a pretty good start.
As for the others, needless to say, they have sent out Amway.
However, everyone was also sorry because Yuki Kusano, the young superintendent, was not present.
Isn't this quirk of his a little too much?
So, what exactly is Yuki Kusano doing?
......
Kowaki Valley, hot springs.
The grass is fortunate to soak in the pond water, looking at the distant mountains in the distance, it is already evening at this time, the sun is setting, and the glow between the mountains and forests is dyed, which is really comfortable and beautiful.
As the saying goes: take other people's mouths short, eat other people's hands short, and the heart will be soft when it is finished.
He just didn't want to make this kind of short and soft mistake, so he always stayed away from big things.
However, since people are already so sincere, then, there is nothing wrong with having an exchange, especially when Ah Ren is like this...
"What do you want!"
"Didn't think anything?"
"I must be thinking about something bad!"
"I really don't have that, I'm actually a very serious person. ”
A serious sentence caused a lot of coquettish laughter.
The Zhongshan sisters, one sent wine on the side, and the other peeled tangerines, and Kusano Yuki felt like a dream.
However, Ah Ren turned the topic to the most important thing of the day.
"Luck, this movie is really amazing. ”
Hearing her sister praise it so much, Miho Nakayama was a little regretful, "I knew that I would also go to the premiere, take a good look at this masterpiece." ”
Yuki Kusano blushed a little, and she didn't know if it was because of the water in the pond or something else, "If you boast like this, do you feel a little boastful?"
The two sisters burst out laughing, but it seemed that Yuki Kusano regarded the two of them as her own.
Ah Ren's interest is even stronger, this time it's about the box office, "4 billion, is it really okay?"
In today's Japan, it's not easy to get a box office of 4 billion yen.
Of course, Yuki Kusano understands the difficulty of this goal, but he has his own reasoning.
"The 1973 movie version was filmed by Dongbao Company in three months, and the ration income at that time was about 1.8 billion, and if this income is reversed, the box office is at least 4 billion. ”
When they heard this, the Zhongshan sisters were still a little puzzled.
"In terms of prices at that time, this box office was already very good, and I don't know how many people went to see it, but it was obviously much higher than the current 4 billion box office. This time, I used 1 billion funds to unite Shochiku and Toho and the TV station, and it took half a year, no matter what, if my work can't surpass the one back then, then I will fail. ”
As soon as these words came out, the Zhongshan sisters fully understood, that is, it seems that the goal is very powerful, but in fact, this is the lower limit that Yuki Kusano set for herself.
That's right, if it can't reach this level, then, I'm afraid that Dashan and Xiaoting of the TV station will also take the initiative to attack.
So, what is Yuki Kusano's real goal?
"It probably has to be more than 5 billion to be considered a success. When Yuki Kusano spoke, he was a little indifferent, but he was extremely confident.
The Zhongshan sisters' hearts stirred, and they couldn't help but pop twice, and the turquoise water was full of flowers again.
Soon, four hands were on the young overseer's chest.
Actually, Yuki Kusano still hasn't said something.
The 2005 version, the final box office was about 4.6 billion yen, and in that version, a large number of love scenes were arranged for Tsuyoshi Tsuyoshi and Shibasaki Yuki, not that the love scenes were bad, but in the face of this kind of disaster, it was too stinky.
Moreover, the whole plot of the movie was very protracted, costing 2 billion yen and shooting for 150 minutes.
But that's it, there is still such a high box office.
Now, Yuki Kusano has removed all those procrastinations, and the whole movie is 100 minutes, which is definitely the result of refinement.
Of course he's confident!
The young superintendent is now focused on sports, and of course he doesn't know that in just one afternoon, he has earned 100 million at the box office.
By the next day, Sunday, the news of yesterday's interview, especially Kimura's manifesto, spread extremely quickly.
On this day, the box office reached 300 million!
In other words, in just two days in the first week, "Japan Sinks" has already received 400 million! Recommended reading: "Reading Files 2013"
