"The sci-fi blockbuster "1999" earned 600 million yen in the first week, surpassing the 380 million in the first week of the foreign painting "The Exorcist", which was released in July!"

(Distribution income is a method of recording the Japanese box office before 2000, that is, the income received by the distributor, which generally accounts for 50%-60% of the box office, and the box office can be calculated by using ration income of 1.7 in a rough estimate.)

"In the era of big sales of foreign films, where will my country's local films go?"

"With an unprecedented visual experience, the world's first computer-generated movie special effects, "1999" takes you to see the cruelty of the universe!"

"1999" is adapted from the first science fiction work of the world science fiction master Huo Yaowen, and once it was released, it set off a huge wave of movie-watching in Japan. ”

"Yesterday morning, the box office of "1999" in the United States officially exceeded 100 million US dollars, becoming the fastest film in history to break the box office record of 100 million!"

"1999", which was filmed using the latest special effects technology, took only seven or eight days after its release in Japan, and quickly broke through the ration income of 600 million yen, which not only broke the first week ration champion record of "The Exorcist" in Japan in July, but also raised this figure to 220 million yen.

In addition, when the news of the U.S. box office exceeded 100 million US dollars reached Japan, it can be said that it attracted the attention of more and more movie lovers, who went out of their homes and went to the cinema together to watch this special effects blockbuster that is said to be a cross-generational special effects blockbuster!

The good reputation of the movie plot + unprecedented sci-fi blockbuster + box office myth.

All kinds of factors are superimposed, so that "1999" is getting higher and higher at the box office in Japan, almost crushing the local Japanese film "Sand Vessel" released at the same time.

So when it broke one billion yen, Toho Co., Ltd.'s distribution manager Murakami Sukekuma personally ran to the hotel to find Huo Yaowen.

"Mr. Huo, I know that Miss Lin, Miss Hu and Mr. Liu are all coming to Japan for the first time, and I am afraid that it will not be suitable for them to be on TV shows to promote them next, so we specially arranged for a female artist from the company to accompany us, what do you think?"

This is a sign that Murakami Sukekuma saw that "1999" was a super hit in Japan, and wanted to use this shareholder wind to launch the female artists of Toho Company.

Huo Yaowen did not refuse this, nodded with a smile and agreed: "No problem, it just so happens that they don't understand the customs of Japan very well, and having someone accompany them on the TV show can be regarded as a response." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and asked curiously, "Mr. Murakami, do you know which movie is the highest grossing movie in Japan this year?"

Of course, the highest box office so far is "The Exorcist" produced by Warner Bros. in the United States, followed by "Enter the Dragon" by Mr. Bruce Lee. Murakami nodded.

In 1974, there were still many good movies released in the Japanese film industry, such as "Japan Sinks" and "The Story of Injiro" released in January this year, "Enter the Dragon" and "Tangshan Big Brother" released in April, and the American movies "The Exorcist" and "Papillon" released in July.

Since the publication of "Japan Sinks", when it broke the book sales record set by Huo Yaowen in Japan, it was favored by Toho Co., Ltd., and after winning the copyright, it only took four months to shoot the finished film, but it set an astonishing record of about 8.8 million viewers and about 1.62 billion yen in distribution income.

The ration income of "Tangshan Big Brother" in Japan is not very high, only 600 million yen, which is now the amount of the first week of "1999", but despite this, it is still ranked ninth in the top 10 of the Japanese box office.

And "Enter the Dragon" is amazing, not only breaking through one billion yen, but also the final box office record is as high as 1.642 billion, second only to the American horror movie "The Exorcist", which has been raging in Japan for more than three months and has a box office of 2.732 billion yen!

"Exorcist!"

2.732 billion yen!

Hearing Murakami talk about the movie "The Exorcist" and ration income, Huo Yaowen couldn't help touching his chin, although he is not a horror movie lover, he is still very impressed by this movie.

The 1973 horror movie "The Exorcist" ended up grossing $440 million worldwide, becoming the best-selling horror movie of all time in the world, a box office record that would not be broken until 44 years later by the two-hour "Return of the Joker".

Seeing that he didn't speak, Murakami Sukekuma thought that he was worried about whether he could break the record, so he couldn't help but say: "Mr. Huo, don't worry, we at Toho Club agree that "1999" is enough to break the ration income of "The Exorcist" in Japan!"

Don't look at "The Exorcist" is also released by Toho Club, which makes a lot of money for them, but once there is a new movie in the form of a box office blowout, without saying anything, they will try their best to promote the new movie, so as to maximize the benefits.

Now, "1999" has reached a billion ration income in only ten days after it was released in Japan, and it is expected that in less than a month, it will inevitably break the record of "The Exorcist" in Japan.

"No, I never worry about that, but on second thought, I'm afraid I won't have time to see the movie break the record, because I'm going back to Hong Kong in a few days. ”

Huo Yaowen smiled slightly, horror movies are always horror movies, and the audience is still a small part, on the other hand, "1999" is different, it can be said to be a science fiction movie for all ages, there are no bloody scenes, no terrifying pictures, only speculation about the vastness of the universe and alien civilizations.

……

In the following period, when "1999" was unscrupulously collecting the box office in the Japanese film industry, in the Japanese music industry, there was also a record that broke the records of Japanese newcomers at an astonishing speed!

"The strongest newcomer in the music industry is born!The first week of records exceeded 100,000!"

"The single record "Airport" stayed on the public trust chart for 3 consecutive weeks, breaking the public trust chart record of Japanese song newcomers in one fell swoop!"

"Newcomer Teresa Teng turned out to be a friend of the world-renowned science fiction master Huo Yaowen?!"

Since Teresa Teng followed Huo Yaowen to Fuji TV for promotion, within two days, her single album "Airport" was officially released in Japan, and I don't know if there is Huo Yaowen's factor, it only took one week to sell 100,000 copies.

Not only did it break the record for the highest record sales of a newcomer in the Japanese music industry, but it also shocked the entire music industry!

"Lijun, you succeeded!"

When the agent received the news from Polydor Company, she still looked incredulous, she never expected Teresa Teng's new single to sell 100,000 copies!

Teresa Teng's face was red, she was also happy that this record was a big hit, and when she thought of Huo Yaowen's encouragement to herself, she couldn't help clenching her fists and whispered: "I will definitely succeed!"
