Chapter 344: Reunion Again
On October 15th, today is the day when the premiere of "Bloody College" was held.
Half an hour before the premiere starts...
Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku, Roppongi Hills TOHO Cinema.
Inside the backstage lounge.
"Yo! Brother!"
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, dressed in a well-fitting black suit and holding a retro mid-style style, walked into the backstage lounge.
Under the bewildered expressions of Takayuki Yamada, Kenta Kiritani and others, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was dressed handsomely, looked like a ruffian, like an American hip-hop singer, and greeted friends who had not been seen for a long time in the lounge.
He also walked up to Takayuki Yamada, Kenta Kiritani, Yabe Yusuke and others one by one, and bumped fists with everyone.
Even if others didn't realize what he meant, he didn't care at all, and directly clenched the opponent's hand into a fist and artificially created a fist bump salute.
His enthusiastic and nonsensical actions made Takayuki Yamada and others unable to react at all.
This little brother, playing the role of the host very non-stop, held an empty mineral water bottle, acted as a microphone, handed it into the air, and shouted loudly.
"It's been a long time! Mina-san!
Of course, no one will pay attention to him ...
Especially when Takayuki Yamada, who had a calm face, walked by him leisurely, completely as if he was a transparent person, it deeply "hurted" Sakamoto Kiyoshi's young heart.
Everyone deliberately ignored their attitudes, and let Sakamoto Kiyoshi cover his little heart, pretending to be very uncomfortable, muttering, "It's heart-piercing... Old iron. ”
Looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto's funny appearance, everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha!!"
And when Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who saw everyone finally laughing, wanted to continue to say something, the big brother of the crew, "Brother Boxer" Yabe Yusuke, walked in front of him, and a burst of chestnuts suppressed this unlucky child who was excited...
The plot of this very funny short drama also made the tension in the hearts of everyone who was about to participate in the premiere dissipate a lot.
Seeing this scene full of warmth, the superintendent Miike Chongshi also nodded secretly.
"It seems that the lineup of the second part, there should be no need to worry... ”
Although the first part has only just been filmed, Takashi Miike and Shogo Muto, as well as the original Hiroshi Takahashi, have already started preparations for the second part.
Because, in the eyes of the three of them, this story needs to be filmed at least two times before a complete story can be regarded as presenting a complete story to the audience through filming.
Therefore, when they just finished filming the first part of "Bloody College", they were discussing the possibilities of the second part.
Among them, the most worrying thing for the three is whether the original cast of the first part can continue to star when filming the second part.
Especially as the starring actor who is now thriving in his career, the actor of "Genji Takiya", Kiyoshi Sakamoto!
Judging from the current development trend, Sakamoto Kiyoshi will definitely be more favored by major film companies or TV stations in the future.
After all, as a super popular actor who may not be able to produce one at present or in the future, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the first starring actor in Heisei with a box office of over 100 million, has a return on the box office of the movie, which is really too high!
The box office starring Kiyoshi Sakamoto has achieved huge profits.
The "Death Note" two-part series cost a total of 2 billion yen to produce.
And the combined box office of the two films exceeded 10 billion yen!
The box office sharing model of Japanese movies is actually quite simple.
For example, if the audience buys a 1,800 yen ticket for "High School" at a movie theater in Tokyo, the movie theater will get 900 yen, the production committee will get 630 to 810 yen, and the distribution company Toho will get the remaining 90 to 270 yen.
In "Hot Blood College", Dongbao, as one of the four major film companies, not only leads the production committee, but also has its own theater.
Therefore, in the box office of the film "Hot Blood High School", Toho, as the distribution company, theater side, and production committee leader, can get most of the box office.
In other words, after removing part of the theater chain's share, the actors' fixed salaries, and other promotional expenses, Toho, as the leader of the production company, theater side, and production committee, can make at least more than 3 billion yen in net profits!
What is the concept of 3 billion yen?
In 2007, 3 billion yen was equivalent to building a super luxurious villa in the heart of Tokyo!
Or you can buy two of Tokyo's most expensive apartments!
In Japan, because the center of Tokyo is already at a premium, it is basically impossible to own a villa, so the upper class, such as celebrities, wealthy businessmen, dignitaries, and houses, live in top-notch apartments located in the center of the metropolitan area.
And the most expensive top apartment in Tokyo is located in the famous Roppongi, located on the 42nd-43rd floor, duplex apartment.
The price of such an apartment of more than 200 square meters is about 11 to 1.5 billion.
Of course, 3 billion yen is not much, and when converted into US dollars, it is only more than 30 million US dollars.
As far as Hollywood makes a small-budget sci-fi special effects film, the shooting cost is more than that, not to mention some Hollywood blockbusters.
The standard of blockbusters is that the shooting cost is huge, the picture is cool, and the special effects are exquisite, so it is required that the final box office must exceed the cost in order for the production company to return to its original cost and even make money.
Hollywood blockbusters with more than 100 million yuan abound.
However, for Japanese films, two films that cost only 2 billion yen can get a net profit of 1.5 times, which is simply a flying profit!
It is also the high box office and high profit of "Death Note" that will inevitably make Kiyoshi Sakamoto an actor that film companies are vying to invite.
In this way, under the condition that Sakamoto Kiyoshi has a very tight schedule, the second part of "Hot Blood High School", whether or not Sakamoto Kiyoshi, the soul character, can be invited to continue to serve as the main servant, which has become the concern of Takashi Miike and Muto Shogo.
However, the first part is just about to be released, and the second part will not start filming until at least 2008.
That is, there is still about a year to go.
Therefore, for the time being, there is no good way to do it Miike Takashi, so he can only talk to Muto Shogo quietly.
"Alas, sometimes, it's not a very good thing to be an actor who is too powerful!"
。。。
At the premiere scene, under the anticipation of the audience and the media, the crew of "Hot Blooded College" appeared on the stage!
"Next, let us welcome the crew members of "Hot Blooded College" with warm applause!"
"Bang Bang!"
With the thunderous applause, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and supervisor Takashi Miike walked in the front, and important supporting roles such as Takayuki Yamada and Kenta Kiritani followed behind the two and also walked on the stage.
"Sakamoto-kun!!"
"Yamada-kun!"
As the two most popular people in the crew, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Takayuki Yamada, both received a lot of screams from the female audience at the scene.
At this premiere, the crew of "Hot Blooded College" invited major media and some film critics who write film reviews professionally.
As for the audience, it was through Toho's official website and Kiyoshi Sakamoto's blog lottery method to select a group of lucky viewers from many fans and give them tickets for the premiere.
Of course, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, as the main officer, still has a few VIP tickets, which are reserved for relatives and friends.
It's not just Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Takayuki Yamada and others who have it, it's just a matter of how much.
And a giant Lori who co-starred in a pure love film with Sakamoto Kiyoshi wanted to take three of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's only few premiere tickets for the reason of "to spy on the military situation".
When Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked her why three instead of one.
Yui Aragaki rolled her eyes, looked at him with a "are you stupid" expression, and replied.
"Do you still need to ask?!I've got one, one Lingna-chan, and one sesame sauce!"
Kiyoshi Sakamoto was also speechless for an instant.
Therefore, after walking on the stage, Kiyoshi Sakamoto immediately searched for the traces of the three daughters in the audience.
However, as his eyes moved, everywhere he went, female fans excitedly held up his various supports, such as a fan printed with his head, his large poster, etc., to express their love to him, which also caused him to withdraw his gaze before he could find the third girl.
And Yui Aragaki, Masami Nagasawa, and Reina Neng, who were sitting in the corner, were all whispering, discussing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's search just now.
"It seems that the seniors are looking for where we are... Nengnian Reina reminded with a cute face, two girls who were holding a brochure and complaining about the violence of this "fight" film.
"Huh, is that so?" Yui Aragaki with a peaked cap raised her head and looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was standing between Takashi Miike and Takayuki Yamada, "Forget it, anyway, he already knew we were coming... ”
That look of indifference, a little willful.
"Oh. Nengnian Rena also responded obediently.
"Well, though, after the movie is shown, let's go up and say hello to them, after all, we are also in the same circle, and it's not good to come and not say hello. "Fortunately, there is also a Masami Nagasawa sitting next to her, and I know that in this case, it is necessary to pay more attention to etiquette.
"Uh-huh, too... ”
In front of Masami Nagasawa, Yui Aragaki is always so docile.
On stage, the actors, led by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, also started a war of words with the media present.
Journalists took turns asking questions.
The reporters' artillery fire was also mainly focused on Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was the main officer.
However, after experiencing the baptism of the major award ceremonies in February, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's on-the-spot reaction and the routines in facing reporters' questions are also becoming more and more proficient.
Not only Kiyoshi Sakamoto, but also Takayuki Yamada, Kenta Kiritani and others are experienced actors, and they have participated in the premiere, and I don't know how many times, so I have been prepared for this for a long time.
In this way, at the premiere, the actors, led by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, were methodically coping with various problems from media reporters...
