Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 650
After hanging up the phone, Kiyoshi Sakamoto smiled at Yui Aragaki's concerned eyes.

This made Aragaki Yui a little anxious, frowned, patted Kiyoshi Sakamoto's arm lightly, and urged: "Don't just smirk, what's the matter?"

"14 billion!"

"1... 14 billion?!!"

This number directly made Aragaki Yui's pupils dilate instantly, and he looked at Sakamoto Kiyoshi with his mouth slightly open.

"Well, 8 million on the first day, 6 million on the second day, add up to 14 billion, I..."

"Great!"

Before Kiyoshi Sakamoto finished speaking, Yui Aragaki yelled, and his whole body, like a huge baby bear, hugged Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Faced with this sudden attack, Kiyoshi Sakamoto was caught off guard for a moment, but the body temperature from his girlfriend brought him back to his senses, stretched out his hands, embraced Yui Aragaki in his arms, and nodded slightly: " Um."

It's great to have you by my side. . .

. . . . . .

The box office results are out!
With the right time, place and people, "Those Years" was like a black ship at the end of the Tokugawa period, breaking the closed shogunate, and smashing all the records of the predecessors!
Within two days of the first weekend of its release, "Those Years" broke many records with a box office of 14 billion, and proudly achieved the highest box office record in the history of Japanese domestic film premieres (Saturday and Sunday) !

You know, the masterpiece "Spirited Away", which has created many records in Japanese film history, had a box office of only 16 billion three days before its premiere!
That is to say, no matter how bad the box office is on the third day, or even a [-]% discount, it will not stop "Those Years" from breaking the record of the highest box office of a Japanese domestic film premiered in three days held by "Spirited Away"!
Sure enough, on the third day of its release, although the box office fell again, it only won 3 million box office.

However, "Those Years" still relied on the strength of the two-day weekend to replace "Spirited Away" with a box office of 17 billion, and achieved the highest box office record for the first three days of a Japanese local film!
This number is probably unprecedented. . .

You know, this record in the previous life has been kept by Mr. Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away", and it has not been broken until 2017.

However, the appearance of "Those Years" directly swept this record that had been dusty for nearly 10 years into the dust of history.

The delay in the production time of "Spirited Away" did not allow enough promotion time for the film. In the end, Toho held free trial screenings in 47 prefectures in Japan, trying to increase the popularity of the film. .

Compared with the poor publicity of "Spirited Away", the publicity methods and strength of "Those Years" are simply slapping "Spirited Away"!
The early publicity began two months before the movie was released!

Less than two months after the novel was released, it has already sold 100 million copies!
The popularity of the Japanese version of the novel has aroused readers' expectations and curiosity for the movie of the same name;

"あの镏~ジンジンバオヂュオニー" sold 150 million copies in the first week, and exceeded 200 million copies within a month!

The promotion of the theme song of the movie turned fans of THE SUN into potential viewers of the movie;

Coupled with the spare no effort to promote the show, movie posters plastered all over the street, and trailers that are constantly played in loop. . .

"Those Years" has achieved such amazing results, and there are traces to follow.

It's just that such an expected thing surprised everyone who watched the movie badly.

Especially those in the film industry who expressed strong doubts from the beginning, including some film critics, lesser-known film supervisors, and film magazine editors, were all surprised by the terrifying "17 billion" box office.

The 20-year-old Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the rookie director who directed for the first time, actually defeated the masterpiece of animation master Hayao Miyazaki in his film debut? !

Do you want to be so exaggerated? !
Although it is only a three-day box office record, the box office of "Those Years" is still far behind the 308 billion box office of "Spirited Away".

However, such a record alone is enough to see the box office trend of this "Those Years".

This is just the beginning of the movie-watching frenzy!
. . .

At a time when Japan’s local movies are declining, Hollywood blockbusters are invading, and manga movies are slowly occupying most of the screens in theaters, "Those Years", directed by a rookie director and starring and directed by the national male god Kiyoshi Sakamoto, was released for a short period of time. In a few days, it quickly became a local movie that the people of the whole country pay close attention to!
Thanks to the bombardment-like publicity in the early stage, "Those Years" attracted more than 150 million people to enter the theater and watch the movie within a week of its release!

And it also relied on the box office of 23 billion, undisputedly airborne the champion of this week's movie box office list!
Perhaps, next week, next week's weekly box office champion, if nothing else, will also be occupied by "Those Years".

The popularity of the movie has allowed Dongbao and the theaters to see bundles of green banknotes constantly throwing themselves in the face. Through communication and negotiation, the number of screens of "Those Years" has once again been increased.

From more than 300 yuan to more than 400 yuan!

With an extra 100 yuan screen, the box office has increased again, which also led to the box office performance of "Those Years" not showing a big drop after a week of release, and sometimes even a small increase!

Judging from the number of shows arranged in theaters, and the fact that they were all sold out, and even scalped tickets appeared, the momentum of "Those Years" is not only that. . .

Most of the audience watching this movie are young men and women, no matter how old they are, they are not more than 30 years old.

On the one hand, the audience of the movie is exactly in the same age group as the fans of THE SUN.

Therefore, a large part of the audience who walked into the theater were fans of THE SUN, or fans of Kiyoshi Sakamoto himself.

On the other hand, some of the moviegoers are readers who have read the Japanese version of "Those Years".

Out of curiosity about novel adaptation movies, they also entered the theater one after another. . .

Although they have different purposes of watching movies, they are all attracted by this simple but innocent youth story with a little bit of regret and beauty.

Just because a movie is released doesn't mean the promotion can stop.

Sakamoto Kiyoshi continued to take "Those Years" people to participate in promotional activities everywhere, trying to get more people to watch this movie.

As for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has put down a big stone in his heart, he also came up with a very tempting idea while watching the ever-growing box office during the promotional journey.

That is. . .

Replacing "Calling Love in the Center of the World" as the highest-grossing love movie in Japanese history!
