Chapter 659: Who Said I Can't Make Movies
THE SUN'S "FIVE-YEAR AGREEMENT" WITH NHK IS ONLY A PRIVATE AGREEMENT.
THE TWO SIDES WILL NOT HOLD A SPECIAL PRESS CONFERENCE TO ANNOUNCE THAT THE SUN WILL BE THE HOST OF THE RED AND WHITE SONG PARTY FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.
That doesn't do NHK or THE SUN any good.,It will only make the outside world think that the position of the red and white host.,It's just a secret operation.。。。
Although, that's the truth of the matter.
However, there is no need to make it public.
。。。。。。
In September 2010, when "Those Years" was still in theaters, impacting the shaky record of "Calling for Love in the Center of the World", "Killing City: The Perfect Answer", which was released for two months, was officially released from theaters.
The release date of "Killing City: The Perfect Answer" is the same day as "Jump Search Line 3", July 3.
"Jumping the Search Line" is a police drama that has been widely accepted by a wide audience for its innovative content, and it is also one of the most popular TV dramas and film series in Japanese history.
Compared with the first two works with an average box office of more than 10 billion, "Jumping Search Line 3" is the third work of the movie version, and the public's expectations for it can be said to be very high.
And in this context, "Killing City", starring Kiyoshi Sakamoto and known as a big production, has just been head-on with "Jumping Search Line 3"!
In the first week of release, within seven days, it won 1 billion.
Two months after its release, the final box office was fixed at 4.3 billion.
Judging from the box office, compared with the previous part of "Killing City", it is only a little higher.
However, it is still a very impressive number.
However, due to the many adaptations of the plot in the later part, as well as the reduced special effects, even the actors led by Kiyoshi Sakamoto gave superb acting skills and wonderful fight scenes, but they could not save the Waterloo of "Killing City: Perfect Answer" at the box office.
However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, relying on Kiyoshi Sakamoto's strong box office appeal as always, the two articles before and after "Killing City" still won nearly 8.5 billion excellent box office results.
Such good results made "Killing City" second and third in the box office list of live-action movies in 2010, second only to "Jumping Search Line 3"!
However, in the eyes of the public, such a good result is unsatisfactory.
You must know that according to the producer, the media, and the statistics department, the two articles before and after "Killing City" will exceed 10 billion box office!
The box office of 8.5 billion is only barely allowing the producer to recover its costs.
Moreover, the difference between 8.5 billion and 10 billion is nearly 1.5 billion, and such an achievement, of course, cannot satisfy the producer.
After all, NVT and Nikko had the idea of making a lot of money, so they found Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the "first person in Heisei", to serve as the main officer.
However, the box office was unsatisfactory, and it was difficult for the producer to throw this responsibility to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
In fact, the adapted script is too different from the original comics, causing a large number of die-hard fans of the original comics to openly boycott this movie.
Manga movies, many times, contribute to the box office, are comic book fans who come from the original book.
However, "Killing City" kicked away this large group of box office contributors!
"Killing City", which lost a large number of fans of the original work, was able to win a single box office of 4 billion, I have to say that a large part of the credit is due to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.
After all, the number of his personal fans is not less than the number of fans of the original comics of "Killing City"...
It's just that what's interesting is that almost all fans of the original book pointed the finger at the supervision and producer of the movie, and did not piggyback on Sakamoto Kiyoshi, the main player.
After all, in the movie, in addition to the highly restored costumes and weapons, only Kiyoshi Sakamoto's cool fights and excellent acting skills can make the whole movie not look so bad.
Therefore, there was a surprising scene: on this side, a large number of viewers and fans are scolding, the movie ruined the classics, and the screenwriter threw coins, while on the other side, the media and the audience are praising Sakamoto Kiyoshi's outstanding performance in the movie.
Faced with this scene, Sakamoto Kiyoshi didn't know what to react to, so he could only silently post a "spread hands" emoji on his Twitter, and add a sentence "I'm also desperate... ”
However, those fans of the original comics also walked into the theater scolding, second and third brushes.
This can be seen from the box office of the two parts of "Killing City", both of which exceeded 4 billion, that fans just hate iron and steel...
On the other hand, "Those Years", which was written, directed and acted by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, was in a completely different situation.
Only 5 weeks after its release, "Those Years" won a box office of 6.8 billion with lightning speed, second only to the 7.3 billion of "Jumping Search Line 3", temporarily ranking second in the annual box office list.
And there are still 1.7 billion to break the record of 8.5 billion in "Calling for Love in the Center of the World"!
However, it was released nationwide on July 31 and was not until September 6, in just one month, the box office dominance of "Those Years" was still somewhat affected.
Especially when it was released on August 21, "Hua Shui Mu", which is also a pure love film, shared the audience of "Those Years".
originated from the singer Yiqingyao's single of the same kind, which tells a long-distance relationship that spans ten years, and "Hua Mizuki" starring the new "otaku goddess" Yui Aragaki also provides another viewing option for the audience of "Those Years".
Even so, "Those Years" withstood the onslaught, continued to maintain a very high attendance, and launched the final sprint to "Calling Love in the Center of the World"!
However, the following September is the key moment to decide whether "Those Years" can surpass "Calling Love in the Center of the World" and become "the highest-grossing romance film in history"!
Because, several movies that pose a huge threat to "Those Years" seem to have been discussed, and they will be released at the same time in September!
The teenage boys and girls youth films "BECK", "It Seems to Tell You", the award-winning favorites "Wicked", "Thirteen Assassins", and the final work of the popular series "Sea Ape 3" are attacking "Those Years" in turn, and are bound to stop it from breaking the record!
Can "Those Years" break the record of "Calling Love in the Center of the World" before its release, and become a topic that the entire entertainment industry and even the whole of Japan are talking about!
But, in any case, the amazing box office of "Those Years", as well as the high praise, have long been there...
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the rookie director who directed for the first time, kicked many of the previous doubts and disappointments into the trash with his film debut!
"Who says I can't make movies?!"
