"Calling for Love in the Center of the World" can be described as a shining star in the history of Japanese cinema.

The title of "the highest-grossing romance film in history" has been in its pocket since 2004.

In the past six years, the film category of pure love films has experienced a lot.

Good pure love films are also endless.

"Tears Flashing", "Just Loving You", "Love in the Sky", "My First Love Belongs to You" and other movies that have soared at the same time as the box office are all impacting the historical status of "Calling for Love in the Center of the World" one after another.

However, even "Love in the Sky", starring Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yui Aragaki and touching thousands of people, could not win that title from "Calling Love in the Center of the World".

It is conceivable that "Calling for Love in the Center of the World" is the supremacy of pure love films...

The box office result of 8.5 billion is enough to be proud of the crowd!

However, judging by the beginning of "Those Years", this is perhaps the most likely movie to beat "Calling Love in the Center of the World"!

You know, the summer vacation is here, and the students are also on vacation.

And these young people are full of energy, and they want to give their idols and dedicate the box office!

Many young people go to the theater to watch movies together in groups, and there are not a few who watch it twice or three times.

"Those Years" is not only popular among young people, but even many social backbones appreciate this movie that records the traces of youth.

This is also due to the positive comments of major film critics and celebrities on the film.

After watching "Those Years", many film critics who had previously expressed strong doubts, as well as bricks in the film industry, have expressed their opinions and comments on the movie.

is completely different from the previous decline, and most of the comments of film critics are praises and recognition...

"Youth is incomplete without regrets. A 20-year-old young man, with his own lens, brought us into that beautiful but regrettable love story. The shooting technique is not clever, but it is better than sincerity. I really like the two lines in the movie: "Thank you for liking me" and "I also like me who liked you back then". I think that's the best commentary on this movie. —Kazuo Sato, a famous film critic.

"Ten years of youth, an ignorant teenager poured all his feelings into that love. Although I think the male protagonist is very stupid and doesn't know how to be flexible at all, but, what girl, why don't you want to have such a boy, who likes her very much? Youth may not be far away, just around us... - Kazuya Hirayama, film critic of "Film Shunbao".

"It doesn't have an unexpected plot, it doesn't have a romantic courtship offensive, it's just a naïve boy's emotional process for a girl who insists on it for years. Youth is a very beautiful word. In youth, we have the girls we like, in the youth, we have friends who play pranks together, and in youth, we even have the memory of sadness and laughter together... Kiyoshi Sakamoto used his immature lens to express to us that this is not only the youth of "Kosuke Mizushima", the youth of "True Love Hasase", but also our youth. —"The Art of Painting" column, film critic Katsu Yamaguchi.

。。。

is not only the film critics who turn the gun around, but also the artists and stars who are endorsing "Those Years" and making good friends with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, are also advertising the movie "Those Years" on their social networks.

Especially Takeshi Kitano, the movie leader, made the entire entertainment industry look sideways.

"I wasn't in the habit of going to the premieres of other people's films, but in the early days, my daughter was always in my ear, chanting Kiyoshi Sakamoto's name and saying that his film was ready to be released, and driven by curiosity, I went to the premiere of "Those Years" without anyone inviting me. ”

"In the movie theater, there are all young people, which makes me, a cheeky old guy, also feel a little embarrassed. ”

"However, the story on the screen made me quickly forget about these irrelevant things. It's a movie that's well worth watching. ”

"Sakamoto-kun, who is directing for the first time, may not be very proficient in details such as picture construction and lens transitions, but the freshness of the picture and the ability to tell stories are initially revealing his own style. ”

"Let me shoot, I would never be able to shoot such a youth story. ”

When Takeshi Kitano published on the show, his comments on Kiyoshi Sakamoto and "Those Years" caused an uproar, but also made the attention of "Those Years" continue to rise!

For a time, "Those Years" formed a youth storm that swept the whole of Japan!

When young people are chatting, they will always talk about this most popular "hit" and talk about the plot of the movie.

If you haven't watched "Those Years", you won't even be able to interject.

This also prompted these unfit young people to go to the theater and watch movies...

Against the backdrop of a great deal of media and film criticism, "Those Years" ushered in the screening of the following week.

Sure enough, as speculated by the public, the next week's box office weekly list was still the world of "Those Years".

Of the five newly released local films, "Japan's Longest Summer", "Love Word Spirit 2: Until the End of the World", "Kamen Rider (Double) FOREVER AtoZ/Gaia Memory Strip of Destiny", "God Help!", and "Sky Sentai Star Protector", none of them can pose a single threat to "Those Years".

"Those Years" once again won the weekly list with a weekly box office of 1.7 billion!

2.3 billion box office in the first week, 1.7 billion in the second week, in just two weeks, "Those Years" got a horror box office of 4 billion!

In this way, the public sees that "Those Years" has the possibility of defeating "Calling Love in the Center of the World" and replacing its position.

Many media outlets have been in their respective newspapers and magazines, impatiently shouting slogans such as "The debut novel will break the record, and "Those Years" will become the highest-grossing pure love film?!", "The record is in jeopardy, and the sad song of "Calling for Love in the Center of the World" may not be as good as the regrettable youth of "Those Years"?!" and so on.

In the face of the media's praise and optimism, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, as a party, was not too excited and excited.

The apprehension and uneasiness in his heart have long since dissipated with the box office results of 4 billion in two weeks.

According to the statistics and speculation of relevant departments, it is only a matter of time before the box office of "Those Years" surpasses "Calling Love in the Center of the World".

In this way, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who thinks that the overall situation has been decided, can finally breathe a sigh of relief and put his mind on another big thing...
