"The wine that comes out of the girl's feet must be very sweet to drink."

"The relationship between Sanye and Lin Jun is too pure and beautiful."

"This movie is really made by a director in Huaxia, if it weren't for the fact that Shunji Iwai's movie was also being released, I really thought it was Shunji Iwai's work!"

"Ah, the scene where Sanye and Lin Jun met at the end made me cry to death."

"The songs in this movie are also very good, does anyone know what these Chinese songs are called, can they be searched on the Internet?"

In the Mitsui Garden Hotel in Tokyo, Liu Yifei and Hu Ge sat under the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, looking intently at the comments of netizens who Toho helped translate.

It's been a week since "Your Name" was released in Japan, and the box office is still high every day.

Since its screening, it has won a total of 2 billion yen at the box office!

The attraction of commercial films to the public is really not comparable to literary films.

Wu Yuan's "The Undertaker" has a very high reputation in Japan, and is known as the best film in China in the past five years.

However, the box office of this film in Japan was only 2.6 billion yen, and even in Wu Yuanmeng, the box office result of the original "The Undertaker" was only 3.8 billion yen.

And "The Undertaker" reached such a box office and was released in Japan for three months.

In contrast, the movie-watching craze attracted by "Your Name" is simply a devastating level.

"Director Wu, in the future, major theaters across the country will continue to increase the schedule of "Your Name", and it is expected that the box office of this movie will reach 4 billion yen within a month!"

"The total box office result may be more than 18 billion yen!"

The representative of Toho Co., Ltd. was even more excited than Wu Yuan, and looked at Wu Yuan with a look of adoration with his hands clasped hands.

It's different to be a big director who can mix in Hollywood, a good blockbuster can sell well, and the results of making a Chinese movie are even better!

Looking at the box office list of Japanese films in history, the release momentum of "The Name of Ling" is also extremely amazing.

Judging from the current box office trend, this film is likely to hit the box office figure of more than 18 billion yen in the end, and enter the top ten of Japan's all-time box office list in one fell swoop.

For the Japanese film market, every movie that breaks the box office of 10 billion yen is enough to be remembered for a long time.

It's similar to the influence of the box office of Huaxia that broke 100 million.

Last year, there were only three films that broke 10 billion yen at the box office in the Japanese film market!

They are the sequels to "Jump the Search Line", "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and "The Matrix 2"!

These three films achieved box office results of 17.35 billion yen, 17.3 billion yen and 11 billion yen respectively.

In comparison, "Pirates of the Caribbean" only ranked sixth on the list with a box office of 6.8 billion.

and "Hero" ranked tenth with a score of 4 billion.

This movie also relied on the Japanese market to finally make money.

The box office of 4 billion yen is about more than 300 million yuan, and the Chinese production company can take more than 60 million yuan, which is a big return.

And Wu Yuan's "Your Name", currently Toho Co., Ltd. predicts that it is very likely that the final box office will break 18 billion yen!

18 billion yen at the current exchange rate, but more than 1.38 billion yuan!

This is nearly ten times the box office performance in the mainland! It's an exaggerated number!

Why doesn't Wu Yuan pay attention to it, why doesn't he love Japanese fans?

"Good!" He smiled and patted the representative of Toho Co., Ltd. on the shoulder, "The cooperation with your company is very pleasant, and we will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." ”

The best days are yet to come!

"Painted Skin" is also a fantasy movie of Asian culture specially prepared for the Japanese market!

"Hey! Director Wu chose our Toho Co., Ltd., which is the most win-win choice! The representative of Toho Co., Ltd. said proudly.

He does have the qualifications to be proud of, Toho Co., Ltd. occupies almost 80% of the market for Japanese film distribution, and even Sony, who was born in Japan, can't compete with Toho in his homeland.

Toho also made a lot of money on the movie "Your Name".

In Japan, there are two concepts of movie box office revenue – "ration income" and "box office revenue".

To put it simply, the ticket price for movie theaters in Japan is uniform across the country, at 1,800 yen (a few individual theaters may fluctuate), and the total box office is the total amount of all movie tickets sold.

However, the rationing income is different, and the rationing income is actually the money that the "producer + distributor" in the mainland can get.

In other words, Hikari and Toho Co., Ltd. can only share the money in this "rationed income".

And this "rationing income" needs to be negotiated between the distributor and the theater chain, and the figures that can be talked about are different for different films, and can hover between 40% and 70%.

Factors such as the distributor's policy, the type of film, and the expected commercial success of the film can all affect the size of the ratio.

As the largest distributor in Japan, Toho Co., Ltd. naturally has enough confidence to negotiate a good account sharing ratio with theaters compared to small distributors.

Originally, overseas films have already gone through more screening to enter the local market, and on the whole, the probability of being able to sell is indeed higher.

Therefore, Toho Co., Ltd. negotiated a good share ratio for "Your Name", and it can get 60% of the total box office!

That is, out of 18 billion yen, the producer and distributor can take 10.8 billion yen, about 780 million yuan.

Then the light age and Toho will share the 10.8 billion yen.

According to the contract negotiated between the two companies, after deducting the copy fee (film copy fee) and publicity fee, the remaining money will be 60% for Light and Shadow Times, and 40% for Toho.

This is already the best condition that Wu Yuan can negotiate, that is, he is a big director of Hollywood, and he has the popularity blessing of "The Undertaker" and "Pirates of the Caribbean", and Dongbao is optimistic about the box office results of "Your Name", so he can talk about a 60% share.

Otherwise, some Huaxia Hehaolaiwu very ordinary movies can only take 40%-50%, which is basically shared equally with the distributor.

In other words, of the 780 million yuan, after deducting about 30 million publicity costs, the net profit that Light and Shadow Times can finally get can be 450 million yuan.

Dongbao can also share 300 million yuan, you must know that Dongbao only paid 30 million publicity costs, and this money is still "paid in advance", how can you level this cost after the movie is released, and then share the profits.

It is equivalent to Dongbao with a very low risk of loss, and it is easy to exchange for a net profit of 300 million yuan.

How can this not satisfy them?

They can't wait for Wu Yuan to continue to come to Japan with such a box office selling Chinese movie to cooperate with them in the future!

Just like the domestic Hollywood blockbusters that entered in the form of account sharing, they were all monopolized and distributed by China Film, and they were full.

And Wu Yuan, who can get a profit of 450 million, is also very satisfied.

Although compared with the estimated total box office of 1.35 billion, only one-third of the money is left, and most of it has been taken by Japanese theaters and distribution companies.

But when it comes to making movies, in which country is it not like this?

The domestic box office of "Your Name" is 140 million, and the light era can only get 38% of the account sharing ratio in the end, only 53 million, which is not enough to return to the capital!

In comparison, the Japanese market can be so powerful, which has made Wu Yuan extremely satisfied.

"Mr. Yamashita, you Toho are Japan's No. 1 film production and distribution company." Wu Yuan gave a thumbs up and said to Dongbao's representative: "It's really powerful, it's strong!" ”

"We are about to return to China, and the promotion and follow-up release of "Your Name" in Japan will be handed over to your company."

"Hopefully we can set a new record together!"

At present, the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in Japanese film history is Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon", which has a box office result of 5 billion yen, and if inflation is taken into account, it is at least more than 10 billion yen now.

Now it seems that the movie "Your Name" is expected to break the record held by Mr. Bruce Lee for 30 years.

It's a pity that even if "Your Name" is expected to enter the top ten at the Japanese box office, it may not be able to win the Japanese box office championship this year.

At the end of this year, Old Man Gong's "Howl's Moving Castle" will be released.

The film grossed 19.6 billion yen at the box office in Japan, and it topped this year's box office.

Wu Yuan's version of "Your Name" is unlikely to achieve the box office of 25 billion yen for a single film in his dreams, and at most it will hover between 170-18 billion, barely winning the second place this year.

said that it was reluctant, but in fact, Wu Yuan's mouth couldn't close when he smiled.

"Sissi, Hugo." Wu Yuanchong shouted to the two people who were still staring at the computer and reading the comments: "Pack up, our propaganda in Japan is almost over." ”

"Go back in two days!"

For Wu Yuan, the publicity work of "Your Name" is all over here.

Although this movie will also be released in South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other places, the release of these countries is not worth letting Wu Yuan personally lead the team to run the promotion.

Even South Korea, the world's sixth largest film market, is not worth his visit.

South Korea is now vigorously promoting and supporting its own entertainment industry, although it is not to the point of closing the country, but it is indeed not very welcome for foreign movies to grab food in their country.

Except for the American father, who relies on his hegemonic influence and "suzerain" status, which can make Hollywood movies unimpeded in South Korea, it is difficult for other foreign films to win good film schedules.

If "Your Name" wants to have good box office results in South Korea, it can only make up for it by low ranking films and high attendance.

Wu Yuan doesn't have to go to the hot face and stick the cold butt.

On April 16, Wu Yuan took Hu Ge and Liu Yifei and flew back to the capital from Tokyo.

After half a month, they returned to the capital again, and the treatment they faced was completely different.

Outside the Beijing International Airport, there were hundreds of reporters and fans who came to pick them up, and the water around the pick-up gate was blocked.

Although they are in Tokyo, domestic media reporters are all paying attention to the release of "Your Name" in Japan!

The current Chinese people need some successful things to inspire people in China.

Whether it is a private enterprise that has successfully gained a foothold abroad, or an entertainment work that has gone overseas, or an outstanding talent has won an award abroad.

As long as it can improve the sense of national honor and the self-confidence of the people, it will be written and hyped up.

"Your Name" swept the audience in Japan, breaking 2 billion yen at the box office in the first week of its release, and winning 6 billion yen at the box office in half a month, becoming the hottest movie in the whole April, and frequently dominating the headlines on major mainstream TV stations and newspapers in Japan.

All this exciting news was transmitted back to China as soon as possible, and it was reported in China, which caused a sensation among the domestic public.

Even CCTV specifically mentioned the news that "Your Name" caused a movie-watching frenzy overseas on the morning news.

Although this overseas only refers to Japan.

But it was still enough to shock the public, and then quickly became proud of Wu Yuan.

Last year, "Hero" was released in North America and received a box office of 53.71 million US dollars, accumulating 177 million US dollars (1.4 billion yuan) at the global box office, which made Chinese fans excited and felt the taste of the rise of Chinese films.

This year it's even sharper!

Wu Yuan's "Your Name" is about to break the record of "Hero"!

Although the film was not released in North America, it has now earned 800 million yuan at the box office in Asia, which is not far from the 1.4 billion yuan of "Hero"!

The screening of "Your Name" is only halfway through!

Wu Yuan is now completely remembered by the domestic public.

A "Your Name" completely consolidated Wu Yuan's fame floating in mid-air accumulated by relying on "The Undertaker" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The public and fans in China and Japan have a clear understanding of this young Chinese director, and they are no longer in the embarrassing state of only hearing his name and not knowing his works!

Wu Yuan has truly become a top first-line director in China and Japan.

In China, he is on par with Zhang Yimou's fame, and he may not be able to compare in awards, but in terms of popularity and status, he is no different.

went to the street to randomly interview a random person and asked him who the most famous director in China was, either to answer Zhang Yimou or to answer Wu Yuan.

Zhang Yimou's domestic box office results, a blockbuster "Hero", made countless directors in the circle look up to them, and they couldn't catch up.

Wu Yuan's overseas box office results, a "Pirates of the Caribbean" plus "Your Name", also made domestic directors, including Zhang Yimou, daunted, and didn't even have the courage to challenge.

In the past, Wu Yuan's movies with high box office results were all good to dock, with the blessing of the global market, and domestic directors were sour, but I really didn't think Wu Yuan was a cow.

is somewhat of a "I can do it too" idea, I have not imagined that if they are Wu Yuan, there are commercial blockbusters to make in Hollywood, and they can also achieve such box office results.

But now, reality has slapped them in the face.

Your brother is still your brother yuan.

"Your Name", a pure mainland team, not only won 140 million box office in China, becoming the first mainland film with a box office of over 100 million after "Hero", but also won the weekly box office champion when it was released in many places in Asia.

Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand all won the box office in the week of release.

Although South Korea did not win the box office championship, it also entered the top five at the box office, with 260,000 moviegoers in a single week.

Not to mention Japan, seeing that "Your Name" is about to become the annual box office champion in Japan.

Wu Yuan used his hard power to prove it to the entire Chinese film circle.

He is the director who is the best at making commercial films in China!

Even Zhang Yimou, in the field of commercial films, may not be better than him!

After this battle, Director Feng's title as the king of domestic commercial films was no longer mentioned.

Wu Yuan is officially crowned the new king!

An era of Chinese commercial films that belongs to him is about to kick off!

The above yen exchange rate conversion is wrong, and the data has been modified, so the data in this one shall prevail.

Released in 2001, "Spirited Away" exceeded 10 billion yen at the box office in 25 days.

In 2003, Japan had two films that grossed more than 17 billion yuan.

Compared to the 25 billion yen box office result of the original "Your Name", I think this result is still reasonable.
