In addition, there is another major problem, that is, after other investors learned that the film could not be released immediately, they proposed to withdraw their funds.

In order to make them shut up, Hiroto Akihara directly spent 1 million yen to buy all the remaining shares.

After all, in his opinion, as long as this movie can be released, it is bound to be a hit!Rather than spending energy arguing with these investors, it is better to fully invest in it yourself!

It's all right now, finally the reward of all the hardships, and it's time to wait until it can be released!

……

In the early morning of the next day, Hiroto Akihara immediately called and got in touch with Takuto Utsumi.After a brief conversation, he drove directly to the venue rented by the crew.

Although the movie has been finalized, it still needs to go through post-production to delete redundant or unnecessary parts.

When he arrived at the office, Hiroto Akihara saw that Takuto Utsumi was checking the shooting content, so he joined in and took a look, and asked at the same time, "Is there any adjustments?"

Utsumi shook his head: "The actors all performed very well."

After saying this, he flattered him again, "The people you recommend are really different. The students in the drama club of Tokyo Women's University are really good at acting, it's really surprising."

Hiroto Akihara nodded, not surprised.

Because of the previous short suspension, several actresses who played roles such as victims ran away.

So he directly contacted the Drama Club of Tokyo Women's University, which performed the "Seven Rooms" stage play, for assistance.

He was just asking casually at the time, but he didn't expect this group of students to be very excited when they heard that there was an opportunity to participate in a movie, and they didn't even plan to ask for a reward.

However, although they have a strong desire to participate in acting, they actually don't have many roles for them, and the most important role is "dead corpse".

By the way, what acting skills do you need?

Thinking of this, Akihara Hiroto gave Utsumi Takuto a suspicious look.

Neihaituoren didn't know that he was flattering the horse's leg, and said, "Please take a look at the finished film."

Immediately afterwards, he immediately started rewinding the tape and playing the edited film.

Hiroto Akihara looked at it attentively, and at the same time matched it with the memories of his previous life, and found that it was indeed a good shot.

Needless to say, the acting skills of the actors, the main reason is that the two leading actors are old actors, and their acting skills are not bad.As for the other supporting roles, they have also found suitable personnel.

In addition to acting skills, the overall atmosphere of the movie is also very strong, it can be said that it is advancing step by step, making people feel breathless.

Two hours passed by, and Hiroto Akihara had finished watching the whole film, showing a satisfied expression.

So far, the cost spent is almost 1.8 million yen, but overall it is worth the money!

Utsumi Takuto was relieved to see Akihara Hiroto satisfied.

"We have already submitted the film for review, but we still need the help of Mr. Qiu Yuan for the promotion and theater."

Utsumi Takuto showed an embarrassed smile.

publicity?Cinema?

Akihara Hiroto asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong?"

Neihaituoren replied with a wry smile: "The publicity is okay, it's just a matter of funds. But the theater chain is in charge of a previous cooperative investor."

Hearing this sentence, Akihara Hiroto immediately reacted.

The investor was kicked out by himself, so this matter is still his fault.

He thought for a while and said, "How about this, I'll invest another 5000 million yen in the financial account of the crew, but you need to issue a plan for the specific publicity plan first. As for the theater, I'll ask Ms. Asano to talk to someone about it." one time."

……

Three days later, the crew office.

Aiko Asano said in an unnatural tone: "Sorry, Akihara, there are only 30 theaters that have agreed to show it..."

Hearing this result, Akihara Hiroto became puzzled.

For theaters, the main reason for whether to schedule a film is whether the film makes money.

I have invested a lot of publicity funds now. After all, I put my name on the poster promotion. Logically speaking, the theater will take a fancy to this, right?

Aiko Asano glanced at Takuto Utsumi, wondering if he should speak, but Takuto Utsumi took the initiative to say, "Mr. Akihara, it should be because of me."

Hiroto Akihara glanced at him, feeling a little puzzled.

And Utsumi Takuto continued: "When arranging a film in a theater, it is very important to look at the director's performance, and I used to shoot violent themes of R18, and the number of audiences is limited, so the box office..."

Hiroto Akihara pondered for a while, and quickly understood what he meant, that is, because the theater did not trust the director, it reduced the number of films.

He patted Utsumi on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I believe you."

If you still blame the other party now, doesn't it mean that your vision was not good at the beginning?

And he doesn't think it's a big deal either.

You know, at that time, Neon had a movie called "The Camera Can't Stop". It was only released in 2 theaters at the beginning, but it still became a national hit.

My "Memories of Murder" is closely related to current affairs, and the quality of the movie is not bad, so it may not be impossible to do the same.

He smiled, and said seriously: "Don't worry too much, let's release it like this!"

Things have come to this point, and it's useless to think about it.

Is it a good movie, let the audience judge it!

As long as the quality of the film is sufficient, other theaters will also come to their door!

Soon, the trial results came out.

Although "Memories of Murder" has many sensitive areas, Takuto Utsumi summed up his previous experience and did not make it an R18 movie during the review, but only a PG-12 (over 12 years old).

In terms of publicity, Aiko Asano and those 20 theaters also quickly completed the docking work, and at the same time agreed to release it on September 9.

In order to maximize the publicity effect, the crew entrusted the remaining 2000 million yen in the account and the 5000 million yen newly invested by Hiroto Akihara to 4 advertising companies.

Let them place advertisements in the carriages of the Shinkansen in major cities.

Not only that, Satake Maki also found a group of sailors to promote the movie on the Internet.

After this series of operations, 2 weeks passed in a flash, and soon the day of release came...

TOHOK Cinema is located in a small alley in Taito District, Tokyo. The theater is not big, but the ticket price is slightly lower, so it is a place that many white-collar workers in the surrounding area like to patronize.
