Chapter 180: Box Office

Kim Do-jun was surprised, this is another piece of good news, and he suddenly told himself that he could participate in the movie dividend, isn't it a happy thing?

"Director Miike, how is the box office of our movie? Is it a big hit? ”

Kim Do-joon asked a little eagerly, speaking too fast at once, and his pronunciation of Japanese was inaccurate.

Director Miike heard Kim Do-joon's voice, smiled slightly, and spoke.

"Don't be in a hurry, speak slowly, you can't even say it well, if you use one word to describe it, it's hot! As of today, the box office has grossed more than 2.5 billion yen, far exceeding my expectations! So you can also get the reward we agreed upon! ”

To be honest, director Miike didn't expect that the box office of the movie would rush to the top of the list, and the box office would be so hot.

Many senior critics in the Japanese film industry were stunned, saying that they couldn't understand how a movie about school violence could achieve such a high box office.

The box office of Japanese movies is often set in stone, and it is different from other countries.

Several films have been on the charts for weeks, and sometimes they won't be broken.

Unexpectedly, as soon as director Miike's new work was released, it rushed to the top of the list, completely breaking this immutable law.

The $3.47 million opening weekend is a far cry from the $8.7 million in the opening weekend of "Legal Heroes," but it's still the most impressive film in recent times.

The scale of the release is only 259 screens, which is not as much as some Hollywood blockbusters, even if there is a slight increase in the later stage, it has not changed the lack of attention of theaters, and the movie screen has never been maximized.

The first box office was 400 million yen, and the final box office was 2.5 billion yen, and it is now the eleventh place in the domestic box office list in Japan, which is a very impressive result.

More than dozens of times more than the results of the same period, ranking second on the list, but this result almost exceeded everyone's expectations, including producers, distributors, directors, authors, actors, etc.

At present, the movie has a high rating of 4.3 points on Yahoo in Japan, out of 5 points. was also commented on by netizens.

"The best manga adaptation!"

"Possess a strong three-pool soul!"

"The only movie that can make men's blood boil!"

In a word, people who watched the movie said that their satisfaction was quite high.

"So much, Director Miike, you can't be joking, right?"

Kim Do-jun was a little dumbfounded after hearing this, so much. No kidding!

After starring in the movie, Kim Do-joon once joked with Han Sung-ho, and the two of them made a bet about how much the movie would do at the box office.

Kim Do-joon said at the time.

"If you can earn more than 500 million yen at the box office, you will donate all the money you get to the Seoul Children's Welfare Center!"

At that time, he also swore an oath with Han Chenghao. Now I didn't expect it to exceed 2.5 billion yen, which is really a big surprise for him.

Just made his debut as a newcomer to the movie, and it is really encouraging to achieve such a good result.

"Am I going to lie to you? Okay, let's get down to business first, I will discuss the specific share with your company, and I will give you the part that should belong to you according to the contract we signed! As for your share with your company, I can't help it! ”

Director Miike said that he didn't forget to be humorous, and joked with himself with the brokerage company's commission.

"I know. Thank you, Director Miike, I'm so excited, I don't know how to speak, I'm a little at a loss, thank you very much! ”

Kim Do-joon spoke into the phone and bowed as he spoke.

When Kim Do-jun signed the contract, it also had the meaning of gambling, and this kind of VAM agreement was still very risky, and once it could not be completed. There is little income.

Compared with the salary of a movie, Kim Do-joon's money is really pitiful, but once the bet is right, then the remuneration is very considerable.

Although Kim Do-joon is not bad for money. I don't expect this to make money, but after all, these incomes are earned by myself, and there is not the slightest crooked way.

Originally, this was the plan, even if the box office was not good, all the income would be donated, and then a part of it would be donated to social charities in need.

I didn't expect to give myself such a big gift bag. This is much easier, deducting the brokerage company's share, and the rest of Kim Do-jun is ready to donate it all, without a penny.

"Okay, the rest of the things, there will be people on my side to connect with your company, you don't have to worry, you might as well think about it, come to Japan to develop in the entertainment industry, I have a vision, you will definitely be able to break out in Japan!"

Director Miike usually doesn't talk to a junior like this, and his attitude is so kind.

People who don't know each other think that Director Miike is a very serious person who is not smiling, and this is true.

On the set, you can hardly notice Director Miike's smile, always with a dead face, expressionless, just staring straight at the monitor.

If there is dissatisfaction, it will stop immediately, come forward to tell you, how you should perform, if you can't meet his requirements, basically everyone will be scolded, whether it is a male artist or a female artist, they will not be spared, this is a professional attitude.

Only when you really treat Kim Do-jun as a junior and as your own person can you want to cultivate it well, which has to admire Director Miike's good intentions.

"Thank you Director Miike for your kindness, I will definitely enter the Japanese entertainment industry, but it's still too early, I basically have no foundation in Korea, just like cherry blossoms, although it looks beautiful and dazzling, but when the time comes, it will eventually wither, I want to wait until I am stable in Korea, and then slowly enter Japan, this is the best way!"

Kim Do-jun said very sincerely, without any concealment, what he understood, and his thoughts were all told to Director Miike.

"Hmmm! Your ideas are very mature, but I didn't use my brain well! All right! Since you've said so, I'm not going to say anything more, but do you remember what you promised me at the beginning? ”

Director Miike quickly calmed down, and did not get angry because of Kim Do-joon's refusal, on the contrary, he admired Kim Do-joon's ideas, which were both mature and far-sighted, and he was a rare talent.

"Huh? What, what did I promise you? ”

Kim Do-jun touched his hair, when he promised it, he couldn't remember.

"You kid, you have such a bad memory, we said at the time, if the first part is good, we will continue to make a sequel, remember?"

Director Miike deliberately pulled his throat and pretended to be angry.

"Oh! Yes, yes, yes! Director Miike, is the second part about to start filming so soon? ”

Kim Do-jun asked in surprise, compared to writing songs and appearing on variety shows now, making movies is undoubtedly the thing that excites Kim Do-jun the most.

It's a sense of satisfaction, a sense of accomplishment, a thrill that is intertwined between real life and ideal life.

"Hehe, you're in a hurry, no, but it's almost, it should start shooting next year! The specific plan has not yet been implemented, but I will definitely notify you in advance, and the schedule will be arranged when the time comes, and now the producer and distributor, including Mr. Takahashi, hope to make persistent efforts to shoot the second part of "Hot Blood University", and I have no choice but to agree! ”

Director Miike smiled, to be honest, he was very happy to receive such a task.

After all, compared to other directors, he may be more suitable to direct this movie, because with the experience of the first success, the producer and distributor, including the comic book author, trust him, so he will be relieved and bold to leave things to him.

At the same time, I will not let down their trust and continue to work hard to make a good movie.

"Okay, then I'll listen to your news, I hope the second part can be more popular than the first one, and the box office revenue is also rising!"

"Okay, then let's settle it first! That's hung up first, goodbye Daojun! ”

"Goodbye! Director Miike! ”

After hanging up the phone, Kim Do-joon laughed loudly and danced in his bedroom, his hands and feet kept shaking, and his eyes involuntarily rolled up.

I was still humming in my mouth, and I didn't know what song I was singing.

After a while, he jumped on the bed again, jumped up vigorously, and used his bed as a spring.

I took off my clothes while jumping, one by one, and finally only my underwear was left, and I was just about to get out of bed and take a shower, when I found that the door was opened.

"Do-joon, what are you doing in the room! It's so loud! ”

When they looked at each other, they looked at each other for a full ten seconds.

"Ah...... Perverted! ”

Both men shouted loudly at the same time. (To be continued.) )
