"Specialist Qianyuan, thank you for your hard work. Please move slowly."
Before Qianhara Rinto reached the elevator door, someone had already pressed the button for him to go down the elevator. He was also covering the elevator door with his hand, waiting for him to enter. His expression was respectful, but his eyes were very sincere, not as innocent as before.
The level difference and special treatment are completely sincere.
Chihara Rinto took a closer look at the staff member, didn't recognize him, and quickly thanked him. The staff member bowed repeatedly to show that he was welcome, which felt a bit like a fan meeting an idol.
Chihara Rinto didn't show any further politeness. He entered the elevator and went back to his basement. Looking at his reflection on the elevator door, he burst out laughing - since the crew of "The Camera Can't Stop" paid out their first salary, a one-time subsidy of nearly
Five hundred people later, he felt that his reputation within the production bureau had increased significantly. Many staff members who had previously avoided him because they were worried about the new director began to show their respect.
On the one hand, this should be the power brought by real money. On the other hand, it also shows that Eishi Ohashi is acting in the opposite direction, and the people in the production department are becoming more and more unstable. It seems that he is not far away from being disliked by others.
He was thinking blindly all the way back to his office. As soon as he entered the door, Murakami Iori asked with concern: "What did the establishment committee say?"
Today, the editing committee interviewed Chihara Rinto, the responsible executive, about the revenue of "The Camera Can't Stop". She was very worried and had been sitting here waiting for news, but Chihara Rinto smiled directly and said: "It's better than expected, the editor
The committee has no plans to touch the box office share for the time being, but they have a condition, hoping that we can come out to produce programs next season to increase the ratings in the evening time slot."
Iori Murakami was stunned for a moment. There was a chance that the company wanted to take away the profits from "The Camera Can't Stop". She was mentally prepared for this and had made relevant defenses. For example, she could refuse to give it to her and fight through the law, or she could
Inciting public sentiment and exerting public pressure, but after all, Taili has the advantage of power and holds their contract. It really wants to rob it arbitrarily. It is hard to say how much revenue the film can save - Murakami Iori is most worried about her and Chihara Rin
They were transferred again, for example, they were assigned to be responsible for cleaning the toilets and guarding the front door. They were replaced as the head of the film operations section, and they were directly removed from the job. I really didn’t expect that Taili would let him go so easily.
She couldn't believe it for a moment. She felt that she had prepared so much for nothing and spent a lot of money in vain. She hesitated and asked: "This is the only condition?"
"There's only one." Chihara Rinto didn't bother to make tea, so he poured half of it from Murakami Iori's cup, and said while drinking: "It seems that the performance pressure in Taili is a bit high now, and this is most likely Ohashi's."
Require."
"You mean...he wants to reconcile?"
"It seems to me that he has acquiesced in this matter. He will not use our money and let us work for him instead."
Murakami Iori thought for a while, thought it was possible, and quickly asked: "Then have you agreed?"
Qianhara Rinto shook his head and sneered: "How is that possible? He is in a difficult situation now and wants to give in, but I think he is a small person and has a small spirit. He will definitely cause trouble when he calms down - let's
There is no possibility of reconciliation with him. Sooner or later, we will have to decide the outcome. Helping him is harming yourself, so I definitely cannot agree to it."
Murakami Iori nodded silently. Not to mention being disgusted for so long, just from the perspective of running the TV station, they have fundamental conflicts with Ohashi Eiji. It is impossible to merge, so there is really no need to help Ohashi Eishi increase the ratings.
results, easing the situation.
She asked again: "Then you refused?"
Chihara Rinto shook his head again and said with a smile: "That's not necessary. I promised to think about it, so I'll just put it off for now." Whether it's from joining the board of directors after financing or from the subsidy working group, time is
On his side, if procrastination is beneficial to him, then procrastination is fine. He then asked with a smile: "The first week of release is over, how is the box office?"
Senhara Rinto had the final say on major matters, and he decided to form a committee for the time being. Murakami Iori also had no objections. When he asked about the first week's box office, he immediately became energetic, took out a small notebook and began to report: "The current spread
The effect is very good. The occupancy rate of well-known art theaters such as Ikebukuro and Shinjuku is 100%. The highest number of full theaters has reached 27 times. The total cumulative box office exceeds 140 million, of which our revenue is 36.7%. The theater also
Quite satisfied, most of them agreed to try to add more shows..."
Chihara Rinto listened and nodded. The original "The Camera Can't Stop" was released for four months in total, and the final box office was more than 3 billion yen. However, the situation of the original work was different from theirs. At the beginning, the original work was only released in two independent theaters, and it only lasted one month.
It expanded to six stores, and it took another month to expand to theaters and begin large-scale screenings across the country.
There were only thirteen stores here at the beginning, and after a week there were more than thirty. The rollout speed was several times faster than that of the original work. Thinking about it, the screening period may be much shorter, but the overall revenue should be similar to that of the original work - after all, it is the same market.
The scale is also popular among movie fans, and the number of moviegoers will not change much.
Qianhara Rinto listened for a while and felt that there was no problem. It was probably in line with expectations. It seemed that there was nothing more to do. After Murakami Iori finished reporting, he closed the notepad, looked at him for a while, and sighed: "Qianhara, you are here again
It succeeded and created another miracle."
The initial production cost was 690,000 yen, a group of amateur actors with only club performance experience, and the box office in the first week was 140 million yen. This was something she never expected beforehand, even though she felt good about it after watching the finished film.
I didn't expect the data to be so exaggerated - among the theaters where it was released, the smallest theater only had 64 seats, and the smallest theater alone had recovered all the investment, including hidden costs, in the first week, and the remaining money was basically lost.
Picking it up, what is it if it’s not a miracle?
Sometimes she really wanted to cut open Qianhara Rinto's head to see if the structure of his brain was different from her own. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain all this and it was really confusing.
Qianyuan Rinto felt a little embarrassed when she saw it. This was really not his fault, so he quickly said: "Okay, okay, if you hadn't been running around asking for help, we wouldn't have been able to spread out so quickly.
The box office is even more unlikely to be so high. There is no need to brag about our relationship. Let’s get down to business. Independent cinemas are not systematic, and it is difficult for outsiders to calculate the overall box office. You can master these data yourself. You don’t need to inform the station, but try your best.
Don’t disclose it to the outside world and use this period of delay to distribute as much money as possible.”
"I understand, just don't worry." Iori Murakami had no objection and responded casually, but she still sighed a little in her heart - others would probably be so ecstatic that they couldn't control themselves when they achieved such an achievement, and they could understand it even if they ran out naked.
On the other hand, Qianyuan never cares about these things. He is not surprised by honor or disgrace, never feels complacent about his past achievements, and always looks ahead. He is indeed a person who is born to do great things.
She sighed in her heart, and the more she looked at Qianhara Rinto, the more pleasing she became. She was too embarrassed to praise him directly anymore, so she changed the topic and said: "By the way, Qianhara, I have been thinking these past few days that the filming cycle of movies is shorter than that of TV series.
With the same popularity, the income will be higher and the money will be returned faster. Qianyuan, you have the talent in this area. It would be a waste to waste it. Should we launch another one?"
She is enjoying her job so far and has a great sense of accomplishment. She really wants to screw Rinto Chihara into filming another film, but Rinto Chihara has no such plans for the time being - "The Camera Can't Stop" is a rare low-cost dark horse, and it was an accident.
It's hard to find videos like this one.
Of course, it’s not impossible to make a movie if you have to. Many low-cost movies are also good at the box office, especially Japanese-style supernatural movies, such as "The Ring", "Hanako the Haunted Doll", "Shibuya Ghost Story", "The Grudge"
", even though it has a certain reputation around the world, the shooting is not very difficult. It is mainly a shooting concept of "how to create psychological horror". It does not have high requirements for equipment and actors. If you really want to do it, you can definitely start it.
, and there is a high probability that you can make a lot of money.
It's just that this kind of purely commercial film is all about making money. If you really make money one after another, you can't help Ohashi Eishi in disguise. That won't work. If you want to do it, you have to wait until the future. It's not suitable now - now Ohashi
The more incompetent Ying Shi is, the more out of control the situation will be, and the more beneficial it will be to promote the financing of the TV station. You can't lose big for small things.
Chihara Rinto refused directly and said with a smile: "The situation is not good now, so I don't want it. But if you really like it, you can take charge of this part when we become big figures in the TV station in the future."
Murakami Iori was a little disappointed, but thinking about the difficulty of Ohashi Eishi's presence, he could only sigh: "It's a pity, I don't know how long it will take for us to have the final say..."
She feels more and more that theaters are a powerful supplement to TV stations in raising funds, and they definitely have a lot to do. No matter how difficult it is, and no matter how blocked the big four are, they should continue to push forward, especially when they encounter such a good opportunity, but unfortunately now Ohashi Eishina
Amateur bastards are in power, and people like myself don’t have the say, they can only think about it.
What a pity!
Qianhara Rinto smiled and said nothing. He felt that the day when his group had the final say would not be too long, but he did not say it out loud. After all, if a king does not keep secrets, he will lose his country, if a minister does not keep secrets, he will lose himself. Murakami Iori
I can't help in this matter, and it's useless to say anything. It's better to wait and give her a surprise.
I really want to see her expression when the time comes, it must be particularly exciting.
…………
The box office performance of a film depends on many factors, including the film's theme and script, creative team, film positioning, film quality, ticket price, schedule, distribution, theater schedule, publicity and promotion, etc. But no matter what, "
"The Camera Can't Stop" has become a hit. Even if it takes the independent cinema route, the box office is still accumulating rapidly.
After its second week of release, "The Camera Can't Stop" once again grossed 230 million at the box office on the premise of a larger screening scale. It truly became a dark horse at the box office in 1998 and once again gave nearly
After five hundred people collectively distributed subsidies of varying amounts, the reputation of Qianhara Rinto and even the Qianhara faction continued to rise within the production bureau—in fact, the number of people who could receive subsidies only accounted for less than one-sixth of the total number of people in the production bureau, and the distribution
Not much can be said about everyone, but there are still a large number of production bureau employees who feel envious and admire Rinto Chihara very much, praising him behind his back for his "superior abilities and character."
This is an unexpected gain, but it is still very satisfying.
In addition, the reputation of "The Camera Can't Stop" continues to grow and has not slowed down. It continues to receive praise and its influence has even begun to expand nationwide.
Film critics experienced the hardships of Higurashi as a creator, and then inquired about the behind-the-scenes stories. They expressed their gratitude to Chihara Rinto for being able to make such a film under such "difficult" conditions. They did not hesitate to praise him, even many
People suggested that the Tokyo Film Festival nominate this film, give it the honor it deserves, and give it a chance to enter overseas markets.
Of course, Chihara Rinto himself didn’t realize how difficult it was to make the film. He just did it on a whim, but everyone thought that he had no money and no actors at the time, and was in a desperate situation. How could he come up with such a wonderful idea?
His creativity and the ability to produce such an interesting film instantly elevated his abilities to an infinite level, and I felt that he fully lived up to his reputation as a "genius".
With the film "The Camera Can't Stop" alone, the negative reviews brought about by "The Worst Three Days in History" were wiped out. Even Kyoto Pictures began to feel regretful - asking him to preside over the filming at that time might have been a big success.
What a waste of a good opportunity to make a fortune.
Affected by this, many major film companies and theater chains also became interested in "The Camera Can't Stop" and hoped to obtain the national screening rights of the film. However, Chihara Rinto did not care and left it to Murakami Iori, saying
He may not be able to take this opportunity to open up a path for future theatrical versions - he may not be better at this kind of thing than Bai Gujing, so let Murakami Iori do the work, he is still dealing with three requests from the organization committee a day.
The programming committee currently has nothing to do about the poor ratings. It can only place its hope on the next season. It keeps sending people to talk to him, hoping that he will start preparing for the new drama as soon as possible. After all, it is already early March, and it is not until April.
The spring season is not very long, it's time to write the script, it's time to find actors and actresses, after all, we have to work.
Chihara Rinto was procrastinating. Today he said that he had no ideas and needed to think about it again. There was no rush to create something like this. Tomorrow he said that he had a stomachache and wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up. Anyway, now Murakami, Yoshizaki and others are all around the movie, all kinds of things.
There was a series of activities, intensive study classes could not be held, and I was idle. I had plenty of time to grind my teeth with the organization committee - the organization committee had no tricks, even if it did not dare to use strong methods to threaten him, for fear that it would be completely lost.
After all, he has a history of causing trouble many times, and he is not a soft persimmon to be bullied. At the same time, he dare not make it clear that this is Ohashi Eishi's intention, for fear that if he insists on asking the station director to apologize, they cannot afford to offend him, so they can only temporarily
So deadlocked.
As a result, things dragged on day after day, and the time soon came to the second week of March. Seeing that it could no longer be delayed, Chihara Rinto was just thinking about what to do when he suddenly received a call...
