Chapter 387: 5 billion
5 billion ...... It can definitely be regarded as a super-grossing movie in China.
This is especially true for live-action Nissan films.
After the studio era, even the local audience's interest in domestic films was mostly focused on animated films, rather than live-action films.
A domestic live-action movie, a box office of more than one billion is already good, two billion is a very blockbuster, three billion and four billion can already be regarded as a textbook-level commercial film success story, and five billion is estimated to make peers worship.
Kei Fujiwara wrote a 5 and stringed several zeros after the 5. Looking at the numbers he wrote by himself, he hesitated for a moment, and the tip of the pen coiled around the "5" several times, thinking about whether to revise it, but after some thought, he still put down the pen.
Since the goal is set, it is better to set it bigger, we don't cultivate the truth, we don't need to avoid it, anyway, if we can't achieve it, we won't be robbed.
The goal of 5 billion is actually still difficult, because after all, the box office revenue of "Confession" in the parallel world is only about 3.6 billion, and Kei Fujiwara has increased by one-third on the original result.
It seems to be beyond the upper limit of the film, but it is not impossible, after all, the era of screening has changed, and Kei Fujiwara has also invested more promotional resources than the original work, and may indeed be able to challenge the figure of 5 billion. Even if the challenge fails, it's not a big deal, after all, I didn't sign a gambling contract with others.
……
Eiji Shirai was very happy after seeing the box office results of the first day, which was much more fierce than the original "White Night Walking", and he was confident that this movie would not follow the mistakes of "White Night Walking", because the reputation of this movie was very strong. Not only is the word-of-mouth good after the screening meeting, but after the official release of the film, more film review articles were published publicly, although there are also negative evaluations such as "showing off skills" and "shady", but there are many positive reviews on the whole.
Many people are praising Kei Fujiwara's film work for the first time, and some critics even directly praise his style as a famous director. Eiji Shirai also paid attention to the comments on the Internet, and found that after the release of "Confession", there were more discussions about the two major themes of the film, "juvenile crime" and "lynching revenge".
Kei Fujiwara's work has always been the king of topics, and it has always sparked all kinds of discussions in society, and this time is no exception.
forum.
"I was hooked in the first minute of the film, not only in terms of the storyline, but also in the images. Every frame is beautiful, and I think Kei Fujiwara is not only a director, but also an outstanding visual artist. ”
"The movie doesn't seem to give a result. Did Yuko Moriguchi put the bomb in Watanabe's mother's office, and what did the phrase "joking" mean? Ahh In a hurry? ”
"Find a boyfriend. Capital verification is required, and the annual income is more than 10 million yen. ”
The director didn't give a clear answer, but in my opinion, Yuko Moriguchi must have resolutely carried out her revenge, and the reason why she said those deceptive words—those words that made Watanabe mistakenly think that her mother was not dead and that Yuko Moriguchi was just scaring herself—was just playing tricks on the enemy. It's like a cat playing with a dying mouse. She is the one who will never let go of her daughter. It can be seen from some of her previous performances in the movie that she is not a person who will be soft on her enemies. ”
That's right, and I agree with that. Not only is Yuko Moriguchi not such a person, but Kei Fujiwara himself is not such a person, and in his past works, he has never conveyed the idea of "being good with the evil". ”
"I really hope that the families of victims who have been victims of juvenile crime in real life can be punished for their livestock that have escaped justice, like Yuko Moriguchi."
"Well, why should such a matter be handed over to the families of the victims, shouldn't it be the responsibility of the court to punish the wicked?"
"Because the judges and lawyers in our country are hypocrites."
"Hehe, it's a hypocritical country......"
……
Eiji Shirai was also very pleased when he looked at these popular articles and comments on the Internet, and then suddenly remembered what Kei Fujiwara said not long ago. The post-millennium future may be dominated by the Internet......
In fact, when Kei Fujiwara said this, he did not add the word "maybe", but said it in a categorical tone. It's just that Eiji Shirai doesn't seem to believe in Kei Fujiwara's judgment subconsciously, so he automatically adds the word "maybe" to his memory.
Will the Internet become mainstream in the future? People don't like to go to the library anymore, but like to look up materials on the Internet? Instead of watching TV and movies, watch videos on the web? Don't even buy a console to put in the living room, but play games on the computer?
As a practitioner in the traditional film industry, such a future seems a little scary...... Eiji Shirai instinctively didn't want to believe it.
Although Kei Fujiwara told him that there was no need to worry so much, the movie theater would at least maintain its vitality for about 30 years. TV, movies, and game consoles are not so easily replaced by the Internet...... Especially for the country. It seems that it is a country that can embrace the new era, but in fact, there is a smell of footcloth, and the Internet has not developed so well in Yueben.
Moreover, compared with 20 years later, the Internet at this time was still in the Stone Age, and there was no possibility of replacing TVs and game consoles to output high-quality and clear pictures. A lot of online games are also that kind of word games, which are not fun.
So whether Kei Fujiwara's judgment is correct or not, it really doesn't take too much to think about the competition between computers and movies now...... On the contrary, it may be beneficial. Eiji Shirai noticed that more and more people were participating in online forum discussions,
This may be a better and more direct channel of propaganda than the press, television and radio......
Before the Internet era, there were only a few channels for publicity, newspapers, radio, television, the public had no way to communicate freely, what they could see depended on the choice of capital, often what capital wanted you to see, even if you were blindfolded, it was useless. Wang Jing once said that in the 80s and 90s in Xiangjiang, it was enough to make a person popular or promote a certain work.
After the advent of the Internet era, the public continues to receive massive amounts of information, and their attention to big media is no longer so concentrated, and they have become less concerned about the people or things that capital wants to deliberately promote. And if the promoter is not careful, it may also lead to the opposite effect......
Eiji Shirai had heard a lot about Kei Fujiwara's vision of the future world, and to be honest, he felt that this person's story was well-founded, and even had a very long-term vision. As a result, Kei Fujiwara's opinion has changed again: this person seems to be not only good at making art, but also has a very high talent for judging the market. Maybe Shuibo Productions will become the leading film and television company in the future.
After returning to Matsuhi Films, Eiji Shirai proposed at the meeting to continue to raise the schedule of "Confession", the film has been screened for three days, and the box office on the third day is about 90 million, which is not as good as the first day, but it is also very good.
However, Shigesuke Nobi refused, he felt that the current schedule of "Confession" was high enough, and there was no need to continue to increase the film schedule. After all, "Confession" is not the main investment project of Matsuri Pictures, and if "Confession" can be a big success at the box office, the club will be able to make money, but not much.
So compared to "Confession", Matsuri Pictures hopes to increase the schedule of another gangster movie, and this movie has also achieved good results recently, and it also won 300 million box office on the sixth day of its release, although the daily average is a little worse than "Confession". But Shigerusuke Nobi felt that "Confession" only temporarily gained the upper hand. This is related to the influence of Kei Fujiwara himself and a lot of publicity in the early stage, if only one of "Confession" and this gangster movie can be a blockbuster, from the perspective of the club, it is still the movie that is a big hit, and they can get more money.
What's more, although "Confession" has only been released for three days, isn't it already getting lower and lower at the box office day by day? It is not necessarily impossible to repeat the mistakes of "White Night Walking".
When Shigesuke Nobi said this, Usami Sakura, who was in the conference room at the same time, kept nodding in agreement.
Eiji Shirai was a little disappointed, but since Shigesuke Nobi said so, he couldn't say anything more.
Some people died, but not completely......
