Chapter 250: Death Note (Part 3)
(Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription!) ďź
"Fast and Furious" landed in Japan and unexpectedly achieved a good box office, plus the previous "Matrix" and "Infernal Affairs" also had a good box office in Japan. And in the next ten years, Japan will be the largest box office market in Asia and the second largest box office in the world. Before the mainland market is developed and expanded, the Japanese box office must not fail, and it is an inevitable move to win fans and seize the market.
Chen Tiandu said slightly, "The name of the story is "Death Note", and the Grim Reaper discarded a Death Note in the world because he was tired of the life in the Death Realm. After finding the Death Note, a high school student who is also tired of human life, Yagami Tsuki, as long as he writes the name of someone else and the death process in the death notebook, this person will definitely die according to this process. â
"Night God Moon experimented with several subjects, and the death of these people and the encounter with the Grim Reaper convinced him that the Death Note was real, and he was determined to use the power of the Note to eradicate the criminals, build a world without crime, and become the god of the new world. Later, the punishment of criminals as 'Dutian' caused a large number of criminals to die of cardiac palsy regardless of nationality, which became a topic of discussion at the ICPO meeting. â
"Mysterious Detective L asserts that it is a mass killing, announces that an investigation has been initiated, asks for the assistance of the ICPO, and establishes a special investigation department. Under the investigation of L, determine the approximate address of 'Toten' and challenge it. Challenged by L, Yagami Moon thinks that L will be a stumbling block on his way to creating a new world of zĂ o, and accepts his challenge and fights against him......"
Mita and Oda listened attentively, horror stories have always been very marketable in Japan, and the story structure is great. Even though it's just a brief introduction, it can also be seen that the struggle between the two main characters is depicted. Mita, who has read countless papers, immediately lit up his eyes. If "One Piece" has become JUMP's biggest peripheral product giant. Then the next expansion in the direction of film and television is what JUMP expects more.
"Worthy of the Oscar winner for Best Screenplay, this story is fascinating just by listening to the synopsis. Please rest assured that our magazine will definitely focus on promoting and creating this comic. â
Chen Tiandu nodded, "Then there will be President Lao Sandian." In addition, I asked Mr. Oda to be one of the screenwriters and creative consultants for my new film, but I wonder what Mr. Oda thinks. â
"Hey! It is a great honor to be invited by Chen Jun, and I am very happy to do so. I'm just worried that I'll be disappointed. And the English is not good enough......"
Chen Tiandu said: "It's okay, as long as you agree, it's enough, but I want to say it in front." I provided the first version of the script, and you will not be the only assistant screenwriter. Although my movie is also a pirate story, the realistic Caribbean pirates depicted have a slight fantasy color, which is very different from the infinite fantasy style of "One Piece". I know that "One Piece" has already been released in the theater, and Mr. Oda has also served as the chief conductor of the theater version, including the movie script and hand-drawn draft. â
"But there are many differences between real movies and manga, and I hope that Mr. Oda will try to make manga as real as possible and make the most of your talents. Help perfectly structure the movie scene and conceive it for the story. Together, they have created a classic pirate series movie that has shocked the world. â
Oda's face became solemn, and he sat up straight and pushed his head harder, "Hey!! I will study very seriously, and I would like to ask Chen Jun for more advice. â
Chen Tiandu smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome to the crew, Mr. Eiichiro Oda, I hope the cooperation is pleasant." â
Eiichiro Oda wiped the sweat from his palms and shook his hand with some excitement.

The next day, the lecture hall of the University of Tokyo was full.
The film salon organized by Fuji Television entered the lecture hall of the University of Tokyo, and invited the biggest star who has entered the university to date, Oscar-winning director Chen Tiandu, to attend the "My Movie Dream" forum. At that time, Hayao Miyazaki, a master of Japanese animated films, will also bring "Spirited Away" to attend, and will also invite two student juniors from the Japanese film industry to participate in the discussion, which will cause a large number of media reporters and student audiences to attend.
With the entire crew coming to Japan to promote the film, the total box office of "Fast and Thrilling" in Japan has exceeded 5.88 billion yen, although the momentum has begun to weaken, it is still not a problem to exceed 6 billion yen.
The global box office of the film is gradually approaching the $800 million mark, becoming the only film in the world that will break the $800 million box office so far this year. And the box office of "Infernal Affairs: The Ultimate Infernal" also broke through the 1 billion threshold in the second week of its release, and the evaluation was not low.
At this juncture, Chen Tiandu came to Tokyo, and his popularity skyrocketed. His arrival will bring about a conversation with Hayao Miyazaki, which has also attracted the attention of the whole of Japan, and has been praised by the Asahi Shimbun as a dialogue with international directors. In addition, Fuji TV held a promotion, so that this forum has not even started to get a ticket. And which two junior students will be the lucky ones and have the opportunity to show their faces at this forum where the masters met, which has also become the focus of attention of many Japanese media.
The final list was confirmed, and one is Haruka Ayase, a 17-year-old newcomer to Horipro's firm, who signed a contract with Horipro and made his official debut when he was in his first year of high school, he accompanied a friend to participate in the 25th TSC (Horipro Rising Star Auditions) competition and won a special prize. One is named Yui Aragaki, who won the "Nicola" model contest in 2001 and won the Grand Prix Award, and today she is only 14 years old. Both of them are very young students, beautiful girls, which allowed the Japanese media to calm the flame of hype a little.
But when the two of them appeared as lucky ones, countless otaku at the scene cheered, "Sure enough, it's a beautiful girl, a beautiful girl who is bubbling beautiful." Fuji TV really thinks about the audience, and this show is cool. â
Xinhuan Yui is still too small, although she is naturally beautiful, she has not grown a little. Haruka Ayase is more approachable, having been born in 1985 to a farming family in Hiroshima where she grew vegetables such as edamame, tomatoes, eggplant and cucumbers.
"In private, she's also a cute little girl, with a bright personality and a smile, often playing the role of a pistachio, good at imitating performances, giving people a vibrant impression at all times, and she will have a drive to fight to the end when she encounters a game...... "Oh, this is the introduction on the ticket, which is obviously the meaning of Horipro's promotion. In fact, this year's Haruka Ayase has made her debut as an actress in the TV series "Kanedaichi Shonen Incident Book III" broadcast on NTV TV, but she is not very popular.
The two of them naturally don't expect them to ask any advanced questions, they will gag more, and will ask some questions that the program team has booked earlier, acting as a vase and enlivening the atmosphere.
When the long-awaited Chen Tiandu and Miyazaki appeared together, fierce screams and applause rang out in the auditorium of thousands of people. Chen Tian was very friendly and waved to the students. Although he is only 26 years old, according to the Japanese algorithm for calculating imaginary years, he is only 27 years old. He is not a few years older than the college students below, but his aura and demeanor are very obvious to highlight the difference between the top of the pyramid and the base of the tower.
Under the host's gags, after a few small questions, everyone found that Chen Tian had no fight, he was very easy-going, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively. When it comes to movie dreams, Miyazaki also talked about many interesting things from his youth, and the guests all opened their hearts, talked freely, and talked about common dreams.
"Director Chen Tiandu, may I ask which is your favorite Japanese movie?"
Chen Tiandu smiled: "I like a lot of movies, but now I want to see only one, that is Mr. Miyazaki's "Spirited Away". I chatted with Mr. Miyazaki backstage for a while, and I already longed for that world full of mysteries, but unfortunately I left Japan after the release in July. â
This is also a sycophant in my heart, in short, Miyazaki is very angry, and he kindly said that he will give him a collector's edition DVD, as well as a few hand-drawn character drafts of "Spirited Away".
"Does Chen Jun like to read comics?" Haruka Ayase asked all the words that had nothing to do with the movie, but they were very concerned by the young Japanese people in the audience. Chen Tiandu smiled: "I like it very much, and I also have a manga that will be published in Japan Jump Club, and it will also be adapted into a live-action movie, I think that story will definitely make people like it." â
"Wow~~" The young Japanese people were overjoyed, and a few daring people asked what their names were.
Chen Tian politely told him, and answered a few questions humorously from time to time.
"Director, when you went to Hollywood with a script, did you worry that you would fail? It's Hollywood, after all. â
Chen Tiandu said seriously: "Forced by life and chasing dreams, I think this issue has been mentioned more than once in your academic process. But dreams will always be dreams if they don't take the first step. Before I went to Hollywood, I was ready to make a living, and luckily I made it and earned the opportunity to make my first film. â
A student from the University of Tokyo even said, "I think you sit on the stage and are polite, like a gentleman who has read poetry and books." But he speaks very, very elegantly, and has a strong aura. â
"The Hollywood press calls me crazy, and it's the first time you've heard me say I'm elegant." This sentence made the audience laugh, but Chen Tiandu stood up sternly and said two words in Japan: "Thank you!" Another round of applause.
Japanese cinema has been on the rise in recent years, and young people in Japan are also very concerned about the issue of their own films. They don't lack technology, not to mention Sony and Colombia.
Hayao Miyazaki talked about the development and discussion of multiple themes and genres in order for Japanese films to really rise, and horror films, animated theatrical versions, and spoof movies have flooded the big screen in Japan. Especially in commercial blockbusters, the pattern is too small to stretch at all. Sometimes the American team is invited to come over, and when they finish their work, they leave, and what they leave behind may not be suitable for Japanese audiences.
But Chen Tiandu raised objections, and they were completely self-inflicted. (To be continued......)
