The movie "Seto Inland Sea" was released on time in the last week of June. The starring pair of Nishino Kazuki and Sugata Masaki attended the Japanese premiere. Because of the small investment and the fact that the producer was not one of the top five, the movie's screen was
The number of acts is only 150 pieces.
Compared to Toho and Shochiku, which can easily cost more than two to three hundred dollars, "Seto Inland Sea" seems a bit insignificant.
But what I didn't expect was that one week later, the box office of "Seto Inland Sea" in its first week exceeded 70 million yen and reached 72 million yen. The box office of live-action movies in Japan has been sluggish, although this is not a very good result.
, but you have to know that the cost of this movie is very low.
The total cost of "Seto Inland Sea" including the publicity and distribution costs is about 50 million yen. The performance fees of Nishino Kazuki and Sugata Masaki are only about the same as a TV series. After all, a movie that was shot in ten days is not worth much.
Any more is not appropriate.
The cost was recovered in the first week of release, which they never expected.
At this moment, the creative team is gathering in the conference room, exchanging various information about the movie after it was released. Everyone has a smile on their face. Judging from the box office, this movie can be said to be very successful, although compared to the usual
For a blockbuster that made over 1 billion in its first week, it is still not enough to watch your own movie, but it is already an unexpected victory.
"Nishino-san, the Filmmarks rating of our film is almost 3.8." Director Tatsuki Omori stood next to Kazuki Nishino and said to him.
Filmarks is the largest movie rating website in Japan. Its evaluation of movies can often satisfy most viewers. The ratings are based on a five-point scale. If it scores four points, it is a highly rated movie.
"It's quite satisfactory, not bad." Nishino Kazuki nodded.
"Although "Seto Inland Sea" is only 75 minutes long, it makes Re You feel that the plot is so rich. In fact, in terms of form, the way this movie is viewed is completely different from many movies. Even the method can be said to be not a movie.
In telling a story, the movie is based on the daily life of two high school boys. From the beginning to the end, it is just the two boys seemingly boring and ordinary chatting. However, as the plot progresses, through the charm of the lines, it is full of wit and humor.
Amidst the baggage of jokes, the movie quietly integrates family, love, and friendship into it, making people laugh while making them fall in love with such youth."
"When I first watched the film, it was just a boring film that used the slogan of "taking off force", flaunting an artistic tone, and expressing the sadness of youth. But when I watched it again, I found that this short period of more than an hour was as long as the entire youth. The literary and artistic tone of the film
Sexuality is mainly reflected in the handling of details in the dialogue. What is particularly interesting is the before-and-after contrast in the short paragraphs, which highlights the inner hesitation and inexplicable panic of adolescent boys. The film strives to find the true state of adolescent boys without falling into flattering nonsense.
Trap or youthful self-pity.”
Kazuki Nishino saw many film reviews on the Internet. Most of them were positive about the film. Of course, there were also a few who were skeptical and critical. The film "Seto Inland Sea" was promoted due to the film festival.
It was very well done, coupled with the choice of schedule, there were no too strong opponents, which led to its status as a dark horse in the first week, earning 72 million yen at the box office.
The movie overtook Toho Film Company's "Ghost Story" with a box office of 60 million, becoming the movie box office champion in the last week of April.
"According to statistics from authoritative organizations, the final box office of "Seto Inland Sea" may exceed 200 million yen. This film will also become one of the models of low investment and high returns in 2016."
You must know that in the box office rankings of live-action movies in 2016, the tenth place was only about 1 billion, which is already a very good result.
Nishino Kazuki put down the "Movie Newsletter" and looked at Omori Tatsuki.
"Omori-san, congratulations." Nishino Kazuki knew that Omori Ritsugu also invested in this movie, and he should also be able to make some profits.
Omori Tatsuki patted Nishino Kazuki on the shoulder, and then said: "This time is everyone's success, especially you. Nishino-san, your fan base has contributed a lot to the box office."
Nishino Kazuki's fans are basically a young group with strong purchasing power. After the film was released, they also conducted many collective activities to support the film, and some even bought tickets for several shows just to increase the box office.
The fan economy has always been one of the profit models favored by capital, because fans’ money is easy to make and they will spend money on their own stars. Fanatic fans will even spend money at all costs to support their own stars.
Kazuki Nishino has proven his ability in the film industry this time. His traffic and the spending power of his fans have attracted the attention of many film professionals.
Especially Toei Co., Ltd., their "Kamen Rider" movie crew immediately announced the news that Nishino Kazuki will join this year's Kamen Rider movie, which made many fake fans and Nishino Kazuki fans celebrate again
A new climax.
........
Taketo Tsukigi crumpled up a newspaper and threw it into the trash can.
The newspaper "Nikkan Sport" that just went on sale today published an exclusive interview with Kazuki Nishino, which boasted about Kazuki Nishino's acting skills and his optimism about Kazuki Nishino's future, saying that he will be an absolute superstar in the future.
.
The above are basically flattering words, which makes Tsukigi Kento very angry.
"Hey, Kiritani, has your matter been successful?" Taketo Tsukigi called Kiritani Meirei, who had not reported to him for a long time.
"Tsukiki-san, I was just about to tell you. I've almost got the evidence."
"Oh, really? That's really an unexpected surprise." Taketo Tsukigi's mood suddenly changed and he urged, "What did you get?"
"I'll come find Tsukigi-san in the afternoon and give it to you." Kiritani Mirei said in a calm tone.
"Okay, take me and wait for your news, the same place."
Taketo Tsukigi hung up the phone, his mood suddenly brightened. He picked up the newspaper that had just been crumpled into a ball and spread it out on the table.
Looking at the interview photos of Kazuki Nishino, I snorted.
No matter how proud you are now, if you offend me, there will definitely be no easy way out.
On the other side, Kiritani Mirei immediately called Nishino Kazuki after finishing the phone call with Tsukigi Taketo.
"Hey, Nishino-san, he took the bait."
Mirei Kiritani was quite impressed. Kazuki Nishino actually knew that the other party would be unable to sit still and contact her again after seeing him in the limelight in the movie. This was indeed the case.
"You did as I said."
"I understand." Kiritani Meiling tightened the things in her hands and replied.
"Don't worry, after Tsukigi Kento passes away, my promise to you will still be valid, and the cute kitten can still be adopted by me."
"..."
"Do it well and come to my place when you're done."
