On the huge TV screen, as the disc is read, images begin to appear.

"Huh?"

When MGM's famous roaring lion appears in the opening credits, Kiyoshi Sakamoto hasn't felt anything unusual.

However, when that soundtrack, with a hint of tension, appeared at the beginning of the movie, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's expression began to wonder.

He looked down at Yui Aragaki snuggled up to him and asked, "What movie is this?"

"007: Quantum of Solace"... ”

When Yui Aragaki said this sentence angrily, Kiyoshi Sakamoto knew that he had just chosen the wrong movie!

He chose such a suspenseful action movie in such a romantic atmosphere, and it is very likely that something will happen next...

It's no wonder that Yui Aragaki has a temper.

At this time, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who realized his mistake, couldn't say, "Let's watch a more romantic romance movie!" and other things like making amends, in that case, it will definitely be another wave of white-eyed attacks.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to watch.

The two hugged each other and continued to watch the movie.

As the movie played, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yui Aragaki were slowly attracted by the fight scenes of the movie and various gunfight scenes.

This is the second "007" movie by Daniel Craig, the sixth 007 actor.

It is also one of the most famous spy series in the world, the 22nd film in the "007" series.

I have to say that the "007" series of movies, no matter whether the plot is good or not, anyway, the whole movie is just one word: handsome!

Whether it is drag racing chases or various fights and shootouts, they are the basic elements of a typical Hollywood blockbuster.

When people look at it, they will unconsciously focus their eyes on the screen all the time.

However, when Kiyoshi Sakamoto saw this Hollywood blockbuster, his thoughts slowly drifted into the distance.

。。。

In Japan, it can be said that until now, there are very few film teams that can make such a high-tech blockbuster film with such a skillful scene, a grand scene, and a smooth narrative.

There's no way around it.

After all, movies are still a business after all.

As a commodity, the quality of movies is difficult to fully guarantee, and the production cycle is very long.

This determines that the film industry is actually very risky.

And the higher the investment, the higher the risk.

This is also why, except for the United States, a country with a very mature film industry, there are very few countries that can continue to make big-budget movies.

The same is true for Japan.

After all, when investing 1 billion or 2 billion yen to make a movie with excellent special effects and grand scenes, if you want to return to your capital, the final box office must reach at least 4 billion or 6 billion.

If you can't do it, then wait for the loss!

It's like Kiyoshi Sakamoto's upcoming movie "Killing City" in May, the production budget of the two-part series is as high as 4 billion, which means that if "Killing City" can't get more than 10 billion box office, it means that even the cost can't be recovered!

Among the Japanese live-action movies, the box office can exceed 6 billion, it can be said that there are pitiful few!

Only the cartoons of old man Hayao Miyazaki can be more stable.

On the contrary, the number of movies made with one or two hundred million yuan will not be very high.

It's like pure love films such as "Love in the Sky", "Now, I Want to See You", "Calling Love in the Center of the World", etc., without too many special effects and huge production costs, just relying on touching plots and clean pictures to tell regretful stories.

However, from the box office of these films, we can know that sometimes, small productions do not necessarily fail to make movies that are popular and blockbuster.

However, the Japanese film industry has never given up on the desire and ambition to make blockbusters.

In today's Japanese film production and distribution environment, no matter which film company makes blockbusters, they are very cautious.

Even so, well-made local Japanese blockbusters in recent years, such as "Japan Sinks", "Death Note", "Men's Yamato", etc., have achieved good results.

As a long-term reborn, Kiyoshi Sakamoto also wants to achieve great things through this, through this world's most popular art medium.

What's more, no matter which country's entertainment industry, the status of singers is still not as good as that of actors.

And the actor is just a pawn of the director.

Therefore, after reaching the top of the music world, his eyes moved to the film industry, the throne of high status...

Film Director!

insisted on buying the film adaptation rights of "Those Years", which was also his preparation in advance in order to become a film supervisor in the future.

He felt that as a rookie who had never made a movie, or any TV series, or even a short film, "Those Years" was a very good start.

After all, there is a precedent of nine knives, and he is also very confident in his first director...

However, when it comes to Japanese films, they were also at their peak.

The end of the 50s of the last century was the heyday of the Japanese film industry, and both the number of screens and the number of moviegoers reached an all-time high.

In 1958, the number of moviegoers reached an all-time high of 1.12 billion, and the number of screens reached 7,457 in 1960.

However, this grand occasion has taken a turn since the 60s.

The popularity of television, the advent of video tapes, and the collapse of Japan's bubble economy led to a long winter for the Japanese film industry.

This slump, which lasted for decades, began to change in 2006.

The number of screens began to decline sharply, and naturally fewer viewers watched it, and the movie revenue decreased.

As a result, Japan's film industry has been in an embarrassing situation of bottlenecks for a long time.

However, in 1993, Japanese cinema began to slowly recover.

Especially in 2006, it became a key node in Japanese films, and the number of big screens in Japan finally exceeded 3,000!

In recent years, many people of insight in Japanese films have vaguely felt that the film industry has begun to recover slowly.

In 2006, the box office of Japanese films surpassed that of imported films for the first time since 2000, and in 2007 it was slightly repeated, and then in 2008 and 2009, the total box office was higher than that of imported films.

It is worth mentioning that that year, the two-part "Death Note" starring Kiyoshi Sakamoto also made a very big contribution to the historic moment when Japanese local films surpassed the box office of imported films...

It can be seen that Japanese films are still the world's second largest film market that is watched by more than 100 million people every year!

And what can bring Kiyoshi Sakamoto is not only money, but more...

It is precisely because of this that the Japanese film industry is still very prosperous, and it is worth Sakamoto Kiyoshi to devote himself to.

Whether as a film actor or as a film supervisor.
