My quadratic is absolutely abnormal

: Global Release

The next morning.

The major theaters in Japan opened their doors. Excluding the 20 theaters that banned the broadcast of “Your Name”, the major theaters in Japan have ushered in the peak viewing period.

Logically speaking, movie tickets won’t sell very much in the morning, but on this day, it’s the opposite. It’s almost the first wave of “Your Name” screenings, and there are no seats left. It’s hard to find a vacant seat.

In fact, the promotion of the movie Your Name was not done, because Su Jie’s name is the biggest publicity, and because of Su Jie’s fame, many people are willing to come to the theater to try “Your Name” once. ”

Just like Cameron, the famous director of Su Jie’s previous life, there is no need to promote anything messy. Many people are willing to contribute a movie ticket to the movies he directed.

And Su Jie’s huge fan base also played a role in fueling the flames, and a large proportion of the audience came to watch with relatives and friends.

Coupled with the banning of Toho Theaters before, it is well known that “Your Name” was hyped before it was released.

All kinds of factors combined, on the day of the release of “Your Name”, countless movie theaters “Your Name” movie tickets were sold out quickly, so that major theaters had to quickly increase the number of “Your Name” screenings, but the supply was still in short supply .

“I bought two tickets today, and I’m short of a girl to go with them. Is there anyone in need?”

“Brother upstairs, I’m eighteen years old. I happen to be free, so I’ll make an appointment.”

“Vulgar, alas, nowWhat’s wrong with our society, you don’t even need morals just for a movie ticket, it’s just going downhill… Well, I’m actually eighteen, but I’m a boy, do you mind? ”

Many netizens who didn’t get tickets complained endlessly in various online forums, and a large part of the group is waiting to see, waiting for the evaluation of today’s movie viewing, before deciding whether to watch “Your Name”.

In any case, “Your Name” won a lot of applause on the day of its premiere, and the whole day’s movie tickets were sold out, which is the most eye-catching result.

However, the 20 theaters that banned “Your Name” went against the crowds of other theaters. The audience of Dongbao Cinemas hit a new low today, almost one-fifth of yesterday’s audience. No, because people have gone to see “Your Name”, and naturally few people are interested in their theaters.

This kind of situation doesn’t just happen in Japan. In China next door, “Your Name” was released on the same day.

Faced with such a grand occasion, the hot-spotted media scrambled to report, camped at the entrances of major theaters, and kept interviewing moviegoers.

Almost every group of people entered the theater to watch the movie, and more than half of them came out with tears in their eyes. When asked about the movie-watching experience, they all praised “Your Name”, calling it a rare masterpiece in ten years, with exquisite pictures Shocking, exquisite plot design, pleasant soundtrack, almost a perfect level of work.

Some TV stations have even launched live broadcasts outside the theaters. They pay more attention than Firefly itself. They broadcast live broadcasts from morning to night. Don’t tell me, the ratings are not low.

And when one day passed, the first-day box office of “Your Name” was quickly exploded by the media.

6.3 billion!

According to the comprehensive statistics of major theaters, “Your Name” sold a box office of 6.3 billion yen in one day, which means that at least more than two million people entered the theater to watch “Your Name” on this day. name”

This statistic has shocked countless people. When faced with the figure of 6.3 billion yen, the media, viewers and practitioners in the film and television industry at first did not believe it. Later, more and more media and theaters came forward to announce it, eliminating the possibility of fraud.

When people believe this data, the first thing that comes to mind is to check the first-day box office record of Japanese movies. It is only 2.9 billion yen, which is more than twice the difference from your name.

An animated film like “Your Name” actually broke the first-day box office record of a Japanese movie. If this kind of ticket sales can be maintained, then “Your Name” is likely to break the first-week box office of Japanese movies records, as well as movie box office records.

Those who are interested have noticed that the box office of 6.3 billion yen was completed when Toho and other theaters were banned from broadcasting. The reality undoubtedly slapped Toho and other theaters severely. They did not give “You “The Name of the People”, which achieved a box office record of blinding people’s eyes.

This night, many people are destined to lose sleep and wait until the next day.

Sanshan Building in Tokyo, the location of Toho Cinemas, the major cinemas that had a gathering a few days ago, came here again.

Compared to last time, the twenty theaters that banned “Your Name” this time are not just impatient, but after being hit hard, they have become a little crazy and frightened.

Masato Gutian, who is over 60 years old, is the leader. At the last gathering, he once said that Su Jie was an ignorant child. Facing the box office of 6.3 billion this time, the old man’s face was sweating and his face turned pale. He didn’t want to hold any meeting, but he was forced to hold this meeting by the bosses of other theaters.

“6.3 billion, a total box office of 6.3 billion yen. It was completed in one day. Who said “Your Name” is not worth mentioning. How is it now? Can anyone tell me what it is?”

“Today, my theaters are sparsely populated, with only three or two kittens. I watched other theaters make a lot of money and divide up the 6.3 billion. We got nothing. Masato Furuta, you are the initiator, and you know my loss How big is it? If I hadn’t listened to you at the beginning, I would have earned at least tens of millions of yen today, and this is all because of you.”

“Hehe, it’s okay if we lose a few days. The sales of “Your Name” are so good, I’m afraid it won’t be offline for a month or two, and we’ve become villains this time, and now the public opinion is even more against us.” Unfavorable, even if “Your Name” ends in the future, we will also be blacklisted by Firefly Animation Company, and we will be well-known by the audience, but this kind of familiarity is a bad name, and this influence will continue until then, and the number of viewers will be delayed. If we don’t go too late, we may be closed down.”

The bosses of more than a dozen movie theaters didn’t talk about their sensibilities this time. They erupted from the beginning of the meeting and pointed their finger at Gutian Masato, the initiator.

If Gutian Masato hadn’t banned broadcasting at the beginning, there would be no such thing as today. They can also happily lie at home and count money. Well, I am worried about whether my theater will have a tomorrow.

“Everyone, this time it was my mistake. I didn’t expect “Your Name” to be so successful in Japan. I…I delayed everyone.”

Facing the iron-clad facts, Masato Gutian, an old man over sixty years old, looked sad. He stood up, bowed at 90 degrees, and did not straighten his waist for a long time.

“Apologies are useful, what else do the police need to do? Who will bear our losses now?How do you get through this difficult time? Can your apology solve this problem? ”

“That’s right, what venture capital funds are there? Now that we’ve had such a big incident, we haven’t seen them come out to speak up and help us. Is this because they treat us as abandoned children?”

“My biggest regret now is that I listened to the old man’s bewitchment. No, I have to find a way to remedy it. Masato Furuta, you will go to Firefly Animation Company to apologize to Su Jie in person tomorrow. You must try to ask for his forgiveness. Just tell him that our theater chain can show the other party’s movies, and the film schedule is sufficient, and we will definitely not make things difficult in the slightest.”

…

However, Masato Furuta’s bow is useless at all. Now that it involves vital interests, it can still affect whether the theater can continue to operate in the future. People will not accept it at all, and the criticism is louder. Su Jie apologized and said it all.

Gutian Masato’s face was ugly, but fortunately he was in good physical condition, otherwise he would have a heart attack.

“What are you arguing about? Why are you arguing for me? You still don’t look like a successful person. It’s only one day now. Although the box office of 6.3 billion yen is a lot, in my opinion, it’s just one day. To be able to have this box office It is because of Su Jie’s personal fame and charisma. Nine out of ten people who went to buy tickets to watch “Your Name” today are his fans of Su Jie. “Name” will return to normal box office data sooner or later, everyone is too worried.”

A man in his thirties snorted coldly and said that he is Naoya Kondo, the president of Shochiku Cinemas, and his status on the scene is second only to Masato Furuta.

“I think you are talking nonsense. I also secretly watched “Your Name” today. Its production is better than any animation movie I have seen. You still don’t admit the reality, you Kondo Naoya If you don’t see the coffin, you won’t cry, you can spend it if you want, anyway, I definitely want to ease the relationship with Su Jie.”

“That’s right, I’ll come to the door tomorrow to plead guilty. I’ll let the profitable business go, and lose money and go bankrupt with you. I’m not that stupid. Is there anyone who will go with me tomorrow?”

“Go together, go together, I don’t want to hang out with them anymore.”

“Regret! I should have quit a long time ago, but fortunately there is still a rescue, I hope Su Jie can let us go, otherwise we really have to wait for “Your Name” to become popular all over the country and break the box office record of Japanese movies. These people will be printed on the pillar of shame and ridiculed over and over again, and no one will come to the movies in our theaters.”

This time is different from the last time. Many people didn’t buy it. Instead, they saw that Nao Kondo was also a person who wanted to save face and suffer. They got up and left one after another. There were no more than ten people left, and they were also extremely hesitant. The entire alliance could basically be declared to collapse. up.

“Baga, a group of bastards who are playing around with the wind, what do they know, “Your Name” scares them like this, it’s a shame to us Heisei men.” Kondo Naoya was furious, but it was of no avail.

“Forget it, let’s go, now we can only go one step further and watch one. I hope it’s as you said, and the situation won’t deteriorate to that point.”

Masato Gutian sighed. To be honest, he had already regretted it in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. On the surface, his theater chain was still his own, but in fact it was already controlled by a venture capital fund. He just needed him to maintain the operation. He had no choice but to hold on even if he had to bite the bullet.

“We still have hope of winning. I have already found many trolls to discredit “Your Name” on the Internet. After the fans consume it today, “Your Name” is just an ordinary movie. It is impossible for an animated film to break the box office record in Japan.” Kondo Naoya said viciously, he looked down on animated films from the bottom of his heart, thinking they were just children’s playthings.

…

However, things did not go as expected. The slowdown in box office sales of “Your Name” that Naoya Kondo expected did not happen at all.

Because the audience’s eyes are discerning, the audience of “Your Name” had rave reviews for the film that day, and they kept leaving messages and Amway on the Internet. It has long been submerged under the sea of ​​praise.

Because of Amway, more and more viewers are going to the cinema to watch this highly hyped animated film and feel the charm of “Your Name”.

On the second day after “Your Name” was released, the cumulative box office exceeded 10 billion yen.

On the third day, it broke 15 billion.

…

On the seventh day, the cumulative box office exceeded 30 billion yen.

The promise Su Jie made at the beginning was successfully fulfilled during the golden week of the film’s broadcast, and by the way, it also broke Japan’s first-week box office record.

It turned out that it was difficult to complete this box office record within a week, because the number of movie theaters is not enough. Even if the movie is popular, it is impossible for the movie theater to only show one movie. Not to mention that other movie distributors will have opinions, and the relevant departments will also I’m going to talk to Su Jie.

But on the third day after “Your Name” was released, ten theater bosses who banned “Your Name” at the beginning went to Firefly Company overnight to ask to see Su Jie.

At that time, Su Jie was holding a grand celebration banquet, and made the group of people wait outside for several hours, shivering in the cold wind, before finally giving them a chance to meet.

on the other sideAfter begging hard, and under the condition of a large concession in the box office share, Su Jie reluctantly accepted the repentance of these people.

As for those who still refuse to repent, Su Jie gave them the death penalty, and it is impossible to cooperate and intercede in the future. As a company that is new to the film industry, Firefly also needs to set an example to establish its own prestige, just like Kondo Naoya these people are a good target.

And let those venture capital funds know that they don’t have the ability to get stuck in their necks.

Afterwards, the ten theater bosses who were forgiven by Su Jie interceded to cancel the ban on “Your Name”, which gave the audience more channels to watch the movie, and made “Your Name”‘s box office revenue rise steadily, and it went away all the way.

30 billion yen, this is not the peak

Four hundred and ninetieth chapters: a complete victory

When things have come to this point, the plans of those venture capital funds to invest in Su Jie’s company can basically be declared bankrupt.

Not only did they provoke the sniping of Dongbao Cinemas, it did not have the desired effect, but instead made the story of “Your Name”.

One month later, “Your Name” earned a box office of over 55 billion yen in Japan, breaking the box office record for a movie in Japan and almost reaching an unsurpassable result.

And now, “Your Name” is still not offline, but the number of broadcasts has been reduced. Even if it is not as full as the Golden Week when the movie is broadcast, it is currently the most popular movie in Japan, and the number of viewers is still the largest.

For those theater owners, “Your Name” is their cash cow, and it is imperative to reduce the number of shows. If you want “Your Name” to go offline, it will take a month or so. .

It’s not just Japan, the box office results of the next door Huaxia have also come out. In this month, the entire Huaxia District has sold a total of 1.4 billion yuan at the box office.

And just after the first week of “Your Name” broadcast, seeing the high box office revenue of “Your Name”, theaters in Europe and the United States also came out one after another, and signed introduction contracts with Firefly Animation Company one after another.

“Your Name” has also been screened successively in European and American countries, as well as in other Southeast Asian countries, Russia, Australia and other countries, and all of them have achieved extremely good results.

Even in regions like Europe and the United States that are more influenced by Disney animation, “Your Name” has won the recognition of everyone by virtue of its excellent production.

As of today, “Your Name” has been officially released for one month, and the cumulative global box office has exceeded 1.2 billion US dollars. According to the estimates of relevant experts, after the global screening of “Your Name” is over, the box office will definitely exceed 1.5 billion US dollars. This box office record What is the concept? “Your Name” can now be ranked 6th in the box office of world movie history, and it is very likely to break into the top three when the movie is offline.

No one ever thought that an animated film could achieve such incredible results. Even Disney, the big brother of animated films, couldn’t do it. A fledgling Japanese company that made an animated film for the first time did it.

Because of the popularity of “Your Name”, the phenomenon of “Your Name” even appeared in Japan.

All male and female couples, if they say they haven’t watched “Your Name”, then there must be a relationship problem.

Some people even said that after asking a girl to watch “Your Name”, the success rate of the confession will increase by 99%.

Because the body-swapping setting of “Your Name” directly led to the emergence of a large wave of similar novels, such as Brunei Publishing House, there has been a blowout of novels with body-swapping settings among the submitted light novels.

And the several top-level soundtracks that appeared in “Your Name”, four songs in total, Dream Lantern, Past Life, Spark, No Big Deal, climbed to the top of the major music charts in a very short period of time, giving many well-known singers squeezed down.

And many colleagues who make animated films have learned a lot from “Your Name”. For example, the production of excellent pictures requires a lot of money to do it. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to be willing to spend money first.

As for Su Jie himself, through this movie, Su Jie’s name has become famous all over the world, and he has received many praises and applause.

On the other hand, the opposition to Su Jie is the ten theaters boycotting “Your Name” headed by Toho Cinemas. Now they have become the object of ridicule of all Japanese movie fans, and their lives are in dire straits.

Not only are the audiences in its theaters getting rarer and fewer, and the number of viewers is scarce, but with the backdrop of “Your Name”, the reputation is completely stinky.

In particular, Su Jie’s blacklist restrictions, which are always posted on the Internet, are simply public executions, causing the performance of these theaters to decline all the way. Several companies have already been unable to bear the pressure. After praying for Su Jie to no avail, they had to Declared bankruptcy and closed down, and sold the theaters in his hands to others.

In the end, these resold theaters were basically divided up by the small theaters that cooperated with Su Jie.

They just made a lot of profits from “Your Name”. These small theaters are all rich and powerful, and they are relentless in acquiring companies that used to be enemies, so they have a taste of Su Jie’s strength.

One movie ruined several medium-sized theater chains, and it strengthened their belief in cooperating with Su Jie. After all, following Su Jie’s food and drink, one movie made them earn more than tens of billions of yen in total. Only when the brain is flooded will it be difficult for Su Jie. Those closed theaters are bloody lessons.

…

Sanshan Building!

This is already hereThe third meeting recently held.

If the first meeting was about anxiety and the second meeting was about anger, then the third meeting was about death.

There are only five cinema bosses who can still sit here. The others either switched to Su Jie and begged for mercy, or the cinema couldn’t continue to operate, and the resale company withdrew from the business.

As for the five people who stayed here, most of them were still alive. Thanks to the relatively large scale of the theater chain, they barely survived until now.

Even so, the empty theaters under their banner are already covered in dust. There are no audiences, but they need to pay huge maintenance fees and venue fees. One or two less.

As the initiator, in just one month, Masato Gutian seemed to be ten years older. His black and white hair was already completely white, and his face was covered with wrinkles, so few people present almost didn’t recognize him.

The scene was silent, and the meeting of five people seemed very bleak. Looking at the empty conference table, Masato Furuta couldn’t help feeling sad.

Think about how high-spirited he was two months ago. At that time, twenty large and medium-sized theaters gathered together to suppress a newcomer in the film industry. In his opinion, it was an easy thing to accomplish.

But in the end, no one expected that the geese would be pecked at all day long, and the good situation would come to this point step by step. Most of his theaters under the Dongbao Cinema Line are now closed, but they still can’t stop the decline.

Poor management caused him to be criticized and abused at the shareholders’ meeting, but he couldn’t come up with any solution. He was already sixty years old and his body was not as good as before, so his hair turned white in a month. .

The meeting room was silent for a long time. Even Naoya Kondo, the president of Shochiku Cinemas, who was the loudest before, was silent and did not dare to speak.

In fact, if it wasn’t for the fact that no one in the Shochiku Theater was willing to take the blame, Naoya Kondo would have been kicked out a long time ago. Now he is retained as the president just to clean up the mess. No one else would dare to take over the job except him.

“It’s not what I want to see the situation worsen to this point. If you have any ideas, just talk about it directly. There are no outsiders here.” Masato Gutian coughed. As the initiator, he was the only one to talk about it. head.

“What else can we do now? Su Jie refuses to revoke the blacklist. Our theaters are boycotted by movie fans. Can we still survive?”

“I regret it back then! When Yoshikawa Ryosuke and the others left to apologize to Su Jie, I should have gone with them. Now even if they want to apologize, they won’t accept it. What else can they do but wait to die.”

“It’s all a good thing you did. I’m a good theater chain. If you didn’t force me to ban “Your Name”, I wouldn’t be like this. Baga, Lu, I’m going to kill you.”

The other three people all looked pessimistic, and some wanted to beat them up. The scene was full of noise.

“I think we still have a chance, as long as…” Naoya Kondo just said this, but was glared at by others.

When everyone is a fool, they are still talking nonsense in this situation, and they don’t know better than you how your own company is doing?

“We still have the support of venture capital funds. As long as we work together, if they don’t want to go bankrupt this time, those venture capital foundations must give us capital injection.” Naoya Kondo finished his words quickly, causing everyone present to sneer.

Those venture capital funds are a bunch of vampires. They don’t have time to hide from things that are not beneficial, and they will even inject you with capital. It’s so naive to think.

Masato Gutian gave a wry smile, and sighed: “This is useless. You may have guessed that most of my shares in Dongbao Cinemas are controlled by a venture capital fund, and I was also instructed by the other party to ban “Your Name”. But just half a month ago, it was convenient to throw away Dongbao Cinemas shares in the stock market. Now the stock price of Dongbao Cinemas has fallen below the issue price, and we have all become abandoned children abandoned by venture capital funds. ”

As expected, Masato Gutian told the bloody reality that if those venture capital funds were reliable, sows could climb trees.

Just when everyone was frowning, Furuta Masato’s secretary hurriedly pushed the door in, and said in panic: “Chairman, just now Firefly Animation Company announced that it will cooperate with dozens of companies including Toei Co., Ltd., Hebi Co., Ltd., and Kadokawa Film Co., Ltd.” A Japanese film distributor has blacklisted our Dongbao and other five theaters, and now the outside is crowded with interviewing reporters, who have already rushed in, you follow me to avoid it.”

Poof!

Hearing the bad news, Masato Gutian’s eyes suddenly went dark, his body shook, and he almost fainted.

Everyone’s face was pale. Hearing this news, the last glimmer of hope was shattered. They knew that this was Su Jie’s blow to the last recalcitrant.

It’s a very simple thing. Now in Japan, except for these five theaters, all other theaters have joined Su Jie’s camp.

Those theaters have made a lot of money from “Your Name”, and they hope to get more film screening rights from Firefly Animation Company in the future. With a global box office of 1.2 billion US dollars, how many theater owners have become Su Jie’s fans, they believe that Su Jie will continue to produce high-quality movies, and they can make money together in the future, so they dare not offend Su Jie.

And movie distributors rely on theaters to obtain box office. Because Su Jie has the resources of those theaters, it is actually very easy to cooperate with those movie distributors. There is “Your Name””Word” has gained great momentum, and can beat the dog in the water, those film distributors naturally know how to choose.

“It’s over, it’s over.” Gutian Masato muttered to himself, his face was completely drained of blood, and he slumped down on the chair.

Why did they ban the broadcast of “Your Name” at the beginning? Now the feng shui has changed. Su Jie and the major film distributors boycotted their theaters. Without the movie, his theaters still have a ghost to let the audience watch air?

“Impossible. My Songzhu Cinemas will never go bankrupt. He, Su Jie, is a villain. If we unite, we will never let him succeed.”

Kondo Naoya was stimulated and yelled crazily, like a gambler who lost everything.

No one answered his words. At the beginning, the 20 theater chains were all defeated. What’s more, now, some people have given up their minds and planned to sell all the theater chains in their hands.

Kondo Naoya left the meeting room angrily, and was blocked by the media as soon as he went out. Because he didn’t pay attention for a while, he was pushed to the ground by the swarming reporters, stepped on dozens of feet, and was finally admitted to the hospital amidst the howling of the ambulance .

…

After one and a half months, five theater chains headed by Dongbao went bankrupt and resold one after another. The previous overlord of theater chains resigned sadly, creating the rise of another legend. Su Jie won a complete victory in this confrontation.

“Your Name” has been offline one after another around the world, with a cumulative global box office of 1.58 billion US dollars, ranking third on the movie box office list.

Because the box office of “Your Name” is too hot, Su Jie has the advantage in negotiating with the theaters. Most of the divisions are 37 or 46, and Su Jie occupies the more share.

This animated film alone brought Su Jie a personal income of more than 1 billion U.S. dollars. On the day the movie was released, Su Jie gave each of the “Your Name” production team a reward of at least 200,000 U.S. dollars, and Let them have a three-day holiday, let them have a good rest and be happy for a while.

With the perfect curtain call of “Your Name”, related topics gradually decreased. Su Jie refused interviews from a large number of media, except for the issue of Time Weekly Asia Magazine, where Su Jie was interviewed and became the cover character. Live your normal life again.

…

May 13th!

Panda Game Company!

While Firefly Company was celebrating the success of “Your Name”, Panda Games Company was operating its games step by step, with less excitement and more tranquility.

Due to the lack of good ideas, Panda Games has not developed any new games during this period, and the employees live a relatively leisurely life.

In the president’s office, Asuna held a copy of Time Magazine in her hand, and smiled at Su Jie who was sitting in front of her, “The cover photo is quite handsome, I heard you have a good time, Accompanying Hiratsuka Shizuka to play around in Japan, why do you have time to come here now?”

Because Hiratsuka had a 20-day winter vacation, Su Jie took the time to travel around Japan with Hiratsuka during this time. This news could be hidden from others, but not from Asuna.

Su Jie took a sip of coffee, shrugged and said, “I’m the chief designer of Panda Game Company, so it’s not normal to come here! Why, am I so unpopular?”

“That’s not the case, I just thought you forgot the Panda Game Company, let me do the math, you haven’t been here for almost two months.” Asuna frowned, and said, “Tell me, Are you here on business today? Or just want to see me? You and Shizuka Hiratsuka hang out all day, and you suddenly come to Panda Company to find me. It shouldn’t be for me, it’s business, right?
