After Kagawa Yu himself saw these comments and reports, he could only smile bitterly, and he knew it himself. If the influence of his own work catches up with that of the master Hayao Miyazaki, there is basically no possibility. At most, it can be compared with Miyazaki's works in terms of box office results, and in terms of the artistry of the works and the ideas of the works, he is still very far from Miyazaki.

During this time, Kagawa Yu received congratulatory text messages from many peers and friends in the industry, such as Ken Watanabe, Takayuki Yamada, Kenichi Matsuyama, Takuya Kimura, Nanako Matsushima, Masami Nagasawa, Masahiro Nakai, etc.

Needless to say, there is no need to say anything about the main creators who participated in the movie, such as Sakai Masato, Oguri Shun, and Katori Shingo, and a few people were waiting for Kagawa Yu to hold a celebration banquet.

At the same time, "Slam Dunk" continued to refresh the local box office record, and the box office has exceeded 25 billion yen half a month after the movie was released. In 20 days, the box office exceeded 30 billion yen!

So far, only three films in RB film history have exceeded 30 billion yen at the box office, namely Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away", Kagawa Hata's "Battle for the Top of the Forbidden City" and "Slam Dunk". Works with more than 20 billion yen include three Hollywood blockbusters: "Titanic", "Frozen" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". 、

After the local box office of "Slam Dunk" exceeded 30 billion yen, the major media praised Kagawa Yu again, and his popularity in the entertainment industry soared again. Many businesses have invited Kagawa as their spokesperson, including multinational companies such as Armani, Coca-Cola, and Pepsi. Even Nike, an international sports brand giant, also sent an invitation to Kagawa Yu to cooperate, which made Kagawa Yu a little crying and laughing.

In the end, Kagawa Yu still chose to sign commercial endorsement contracts with several multinational companies such as Armani, Pepsi, and Apple.

On March 3, the Film Academy Awards ceremony.

The Academy Film Awards are RB's only film awards ceremony that has always been broadcast live on television.

In recent years, because of the weak theme of RB films, not many people have paid attention to and paid attention to the film school awards. But this year, because of the miraculous performance of "Slam Dunk", this year's film school awards have attracted much attention. "Slam Dunk" also became the film with the most nominations at this year's Academy Film Awards, shortlisted for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Music, Best Editing and other awards.

In the middle of the award ceremony that night. "Slam Dunk" beat "Forever 0" to win the best movie! Shun Oguri calmly won Best Supporting Actor for his excellent performance of Eiji Sawakita. The Best Actor was won by Junichi Okada, and the Best Actress went to Rie Miyazawa.

In the competition for Best Director, which is also very much watched, Kagawa Yu beat Takashi Yamazaki to win the second Best Director award since his own direction!

also made Kagawa Yu and his "Slam Dunk" drama group the biggest winner of the night!

After the results of the awards were released, many media and the industry said that they were not surprised by this result, although "Forever 0" is not bad, but it cannot be compared with "Slam Dunk" in terms of box office, reputation or influence of the film. The only surprise award was that Shingo Katori lost to his junior in the competition with Junichi Okada.

In the first two months of the new year, Kagawa Yu and "Slam Dunk" became the focus of the entire entertainment industry and even the whole country! also made the media's attention always on Kagawa Yu, but fortunately, Kagawa Yu was cautious enough, except for participating in the celebration banquet of "Slam Dunk", he stayed in the office the rest of the time. Otherwise, if the matter between him and Itano Tomomi was poked out, it would really be happy and sad

On March 4th, the single "green", which starred two girls, Yona Kojima and Mai Shiraishi, was released, and the single sold 1.01 million in the first week, and AKB48 continued their myth. In the eyes of the outside world, AKB48's single sales performance has been quite far from its peak.

AKB singles at their peak often hit one million in a single day. But the sales of these singles in the first week were only able to exceed one million sales.

On March 25th, at the AKB48 Young Members' National Tour, Shinobu Chino, the head of the company, officially announced the official start of this year's AKB48 singles election.

At the same time, AKB48's fourth sister group ngt48 will be formed by the end of this year!

The news of the Ministry of Foreign Industry and Trade of the two made people in the outside world more or less stunned. Needless to say, the most impressive thing about AKB48 over the years is the general election, and in the eyes of many people, this year's general election champion will definitely be selected among the three of Omami Okumana, Rino Shihara and Mayu Watanabe. Considering last year's overwhelming majority in the general election, there is a good chance that this year's general election winner will be in Okunami's pocket.

In this way, the general election will be much more discolored, and the excitement will be greatly reduced. Take, for example, last year's general election. The number of voters in the general elections has increased considerably, but the total number of votes has decreased considerably. Top 10 members. Except for Haruka Shimazaki, Arika Suda, and Nami Okumana's votes have not declined, the votes of several other girls have declined to varying degrees. But apparently AKB fans are already a little aesthetically tired of the general election.

As for NGT48, which will be formed this year, not many people will be optimistic about this nascent sister group. Today, when the AKB group as a whole is starting to go downhill, the formation of this new group has not excited some otaku. On the contrary, I feel a little boring, compared to AKB48, which has been constantly forming cabinets and constantly undergoing personnel changes. Many otaku are more fond of the stable Nogizaka 46.

Since the second half of last year, Nogizaka 46 has had the upper hand in the competition with AKB48. Many fans who originally liked AKB gradually became fans of Nogizaka 46. In the words of one fan, there are too many people at AKB48, and there are many choices that make them lazy, but Nogizaka is different. Just those thirty-odd people, it looks very refreshing. At least when watching a concert. No more hassle to find your favorite members everywhere. (To be continued.) )
