Tokyo life starting with painting.

Chapter 439 Konoe Suzuka Is Restless (4000 words)
The performance of "Spirited Away" did not disappoint Higashino.

It even vaguely meant to exceed Higashino Division's expectations.

After watching "Spirited Away", Osawa Hekichi also made a special trip to call Higashino Division to ask if he had any other local financial support.

This person's eyes are simply vicious, and he has already seen the potential after just watching "Spirited Away".

Considering that there is still room for cooperation between himself and Osawa Hekichi, Higashinoji did not say outright rejection, but only said that if there is a peripheral poster or a comic version in the future, he will definitely notify Fushima Publishing House.

Osawa Hekichi was naturally very satisfied with Higashinoji's answer.

He Fushima Publishing House does not lack the good work "Spirited Away", but you still have to ask
Most importantly, he had to confirm whether Higashinoji had any intention of continuing to cooperate with them.

This is the most important thing.

Okay
"Ms. Higashino is not like other young supervisors who just released a high-quality animated film and then get carried away."

Osawa Hekichi hung up the phone and muttered something to himself.

As the president of the publishing house, he has met many talented young people.

But they are not as good as Higashino Division Wanyi does not refer to talent, but to mentality.

As a young man, Higashino Division's mentality is too stable.

It seems that no matter what achievements he has made, it is always a matter of passing with a casual smile on the lips of this young man.

This is indeed a very remarkable thing.

As a result, sometimes Osawa Hekichi wondered whether Higashinoji really came from the past to the present as some people said. Or is it an adult soul in his body.

but
"How is this possible?"

Osawa Hekichi shook his head a little amusedly. He wondered if he had been working a little too much recently, which caused him to be a little cranky.

Can some random rumors on the Internet really be taken seriously?
Although Higashino's p station and Higashino's web comics are indeed gradually becoming bigger and stronger, it is because Higashino's vision is good, and he has seen the gold content of the Internet cake.

That belongs to his personal ability, and what does it have to do with future time travel or past time travel?
Now, it is already very good that Fushima Publishing House can reach a cooperative relationship with Higashino Division.

In the future, I might be able to make good use of this relationship, ask Higashino to help out, and make another high-quality animated film similar to "Spirited Away".

Osawa Hekichi was thinking in his heart.

Obviously, he felt that the quality of "Spirited Away" was really good, and it was a high-quality animated film.

But he obviously didn't expect that this boutique animation film will perform next
"Spirited Away's premiere box office exceeded 600 million yen?"

Hearing this data, even Osawa Hekichi was stunned.

He even wanted to ask if the statistics made a mistake. The box office of the premiere was too exaggerated.

You must know that the total cost of "Spirited Away" is only more than 20 billion yen, and the first day of the premiere box office earned one-seventh of it.
This is too exaggerated, isn't it?
Even if Division Higashino holds the title of national manga master, it won't be enough.

Really not!

And this is just the data on the premiere day.

You must know that after a movie is released, there will be a period of word-of-mouth fermentation.

"What if the box office of "Spirited Away" can't continue to soar after the word-of-mouth fermented?"

As soon as he thought of this, Osawa Hekichi reached out and knocked on the table.

"Spirited Away" is flying too fast.

He already gave the evaluation of 'boutique' yesterday, but he didn't expect it to be so popular.

If you can maintain this score every day for the next week.
That's not a boutique
"Spirited Away" may become a classic.

Osawa Kokichi can now know without thinking that on the Internet, even some TV programs that introduce movies will have the introduction of "Spirited Away".

After all, it won a box office of more than 3 million yen on the first day of its release. It is expected to break the record.

Osawa Hekichi sighed a little.

It surprised me that.

This made him think again about the investment in "Spirited Away".

If Higashino had been forced to accept the capital injection back then
Ugh!
A little regret.

Osawa Kokichi regretted it a bit, but Higashinoji's mood is completely different now.

Looking at the box office of more than 3 million yen on the first day, he also smiled and exhaled.

At any rate, his whole year of preparation was not in vain.

"Spirited Away" is absolutely on fire!
According to this trend, "Spirited Away" in this parallel world will definitely be able to compete with the box office of "Spirited Away" by the former Mr. Hayao Miyazaki at [-] billion yen.

Back then, "Spirited Away" was so popular in Japan, it is said that the schedule in Japan has been lined up for more than half a year, and many audiences want to see it, so the movie theaters have been scheduling films.
To put it bluntly, "Spirited Away" is a real national-level animated film.

Higashino Division was thinking like this, and then he heard Yano Ryuichi's excited voice beside him: "Mr. Higashino, with this momentum, maybe we can really fight for the Blue Ribbon Award."

At the beginning, Yano Ryuichi never thought that he would have a day to look forward to the Blue Ribbon Award.

What's more, I didn't expect the performance of "Spirited Away" to be so good, it can be called excellent!

According to this momentum, the Blue Ribbon Award has basically fallen into the hands of Higashino Studio, and it may be possible to look forward to other domestic awards in Japan.

He was talking about other Japanese film awards on the other side, and Higashinoji shook his head amusedly.

You didn't believe me when I said it at the beginning, but now I'm excited.

Higashino Division did not set his sights higher on the Oscars, but nodded slightly, thinking that this time Japan's No. [-] should be able to securely win.

The cumulative box office of Japan's No. 260 movie is now [-] billion yen.

According to the unstoppable momentum of "Spirited Away", it shouldn't be a big problem to win the first place in Japan in the past.

But everything can't be imagined so smoothly.

What if something goes wrong then?

He had told Konoe Lianghua before that he wanted to take the first place, and it would be really embarrassing if he came close.

Therefore, Higashino didn't say much, but let Yano Ryuichi continue to pay attention to the box office trend of "Spirited Away".

As for publicity?

At this point, Dong Yesi relaxed a lot.

No matter where it is, once a movie or an animation becomes popular, there will naturally be various media outlets jumping out to praise your work.

You don't have to make any effort to promote it at all.

And this is especially true in Japan, which is capitalism after all.
As long as a movie has a sign of fire, there will naturally be film critics jumping out to praise it.

Not to mention that today's "Spirited Away" is no longer a sign of fire, but a fire that has gone out of half the sky.

Of course, many people came out to help speak out.

Even if it was some filmmakers who were in the same period as "Spirited Away" and didn't want to see "Spirited Away" become popular, they all took the initiative to come out and express their blessings to Dongye Si for a good work.

This is called public opinion.

Coupled with people's word of mouth. This brings out the popularity of "Spirited Away" even more.

But honestly.

Some film production teams that were released at the same time as "Spirited Away" were also confused by the sudden combination of "Spirited Away".

It was indeed full of bewilderment.

We're all working on the premiere, we've got our hands full, and we're ready to sit down and see the results.

So you took off by yourself?

Basically, after a day has passed, there are many topics to discuss "Spirited Away".

But from Higashino Division's point of view, this is actually nothing.

This is not the hottest period of "Spirited Away".

The "Spirited Away" in the previous life was really the childhood of the Japanese generation.

But any Japanese basically knows "Spirited Away"—it would be better to say that the Japanese who don't know "Spirited Away" are called a minority.

Higashino sat firmly on the Diaoyutai like this, waiting for "Spirited Away" to continue to be popular, while reaching cooperation with other theaters (some movie theaters or image halls have not negotiated, and now seeing "Spirited Away" has a full row , took the initiative to call to talk).

There are even some overseas theaters that are willing to show "Spirited Away".

And for these requests, Higashino Division is of course willing to nod - there is no need to be as cold as the hero in the novel.

"Spirited Away" was in full swing, constantly running over the films of the same period, and even made the production team of the next issue, "June's Hymn" feel pressured.

Yes.

Feel the pressure.

Originally, the production team of "June's Hymn" thought that both sides would not be released on the same schedule, so there would be no competition.

But they never thought that the results of "Spirited Away" could be so exaggerated.

The box office on the first day was more than 3 million yen.

This is too exaggerated, isn't it?
Can't more than 20 billion yen be credited in a week?
Pay back in a week.?

The change of mood is as if the production team of their "Hymn of June" was sitting in the car and going on a trip together.

As a result, there was an unforeseen event, and their small passenger car collided with the big truck of "Spirited Away"-the key is that they still can't tell.

Because Higashino Division has already deliberately taken care of their production team.

The special trip was released two weeks in advance so that they can enjoy the school season alone.

As a result, there was a sudden thunderbolt from the blue.

The big truck ran over, and the production team of "June's Hymn" only felt that their brains were about to be crushed to pieces.

But even so.

They also still have to maintain the high quality of their work and try to compete with Spirited Away to... uh... not get too far behind it.

The production team of "June's Hymn" began to continue the discussion.

But before the discussion came to a conclusion, someone suddenly reported: "Just now, the news came. The box office of "Spirited Away" broke through 700 million yen on the second day."

All the members of the production team who were still discussing suddenly fell silent.

Everyone is looking at each other.

After a while, someone whispered, "...that's an exaggeration."

The voice was full of confusion, bewilderment, and doubt.

And these emotions just represent the mood of the production team of "June's Hymn".

This is too exaggerated, isn't it?
4 million yen on the first day. On the second day, more than [-] million yen at the box office?

This is already rushing to break the record, right?
They were silent, and the atmosphere seemed depressing and scary.

If someone walked past the production team of "June's Hymn", they would probably be a little surprised and even a little scared.

Because it was a working day, the production team here was completely silent, and everyone's expressions were stiff, like a haunted house.

"Stop thinking about discussing Spirited Away."

The supervisor next to him, Ping Songde, could see this situation and gave instructions straightforwardly.

He also accepted his fate.

"Spirited Away" is really powerful.

There is no need to say harsh words about "see who has the last laugh in January".

Maybe "Spirited Away" will suspend all the film works of this year.

All may be living in the shadow of Spirited Away.

After all, who would have thought that such a monster would suddenly appear at the beginning of the new year?

The production team of "June's Hymn" responded in unison.

The expression is a little happy.

Now that Ping Songde can say that, there should be no rigid requirements for them at the box office in the end.

Like beating Spirited Away or something
Because the box office of [-] million yen on the first day and [-] million yen on the next day is too scary.
"Spirited Away" has accumulated a box office of [-] million yen.

It's only been out for two days.

This achievement is really daunting, which has sparked a wave of discussion.

Probably the heat of discussion around why "Spirited Away" is so hot.

Some people feel that watching "Spirited Away" will inexplicably feel a little more emotion in their hearts, and they will be slightly moved.

Some people think that some of the lines in the movie by Higashino Division are very thought-provoking, such as the rules of the world of gods-if you don't work hard, you will become a pig.

This is actually hinting at something.

In the same way, not everyone can meet Bailong when they go astray, and not all elders can cover you with a quilt like Grandpa Boiler at night, and Ling, who is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, returns after leaving the soup house. A kind faceless man, many changes are in the process of growth, but they are actually irreversible.

The lines are thought-provoking, and some of the plots are extraordinarily intriguing
And this is probably the reason why "Spirited Away" is so hot.

But in addition to these good reviews, there are also some bad reviews.

Some people think that the popularity of the movie "Spirited Away" is a bit inexplicable.

They feel that from the perspective of the subject matter, "Spirited Away" is an animated film directed by Zigong. These things that they want to express are actually made up by netizens. Higashino has never clarified it positively, so it should not be counted.

But if you really catch these posters and ask whether "Spirited Away" is good or not.

They'll haw and haw 'It's a good movie, but...' and stuff like that.

This is the standard 'although your work is very good, but I just don't accept it' type of netizens.

But no matter what.

On the Internet and on TV programs, there are "Spirited Away" figures.

And all of this made Konoe Lianghua a little restless.

　Thanks for the reward of 51 stones!Thank you so much!
　　It is estimated that it will be over in a few days.
