Many netizens who did not get tickets complained on major online forums, and a large part of the group was watching. After the evaluation of the movie today came out, they decided whether to watch "Your Name".

In any case, "Your Name" won the whole house on the day of its premiere, and the movie tickets were sold out all day, which is the most dazzling achievement.

And the [-] theaters that banned the broadcast of "Your Name" went the opposite way to the fullness of other theaters. Today's audience at Dongbao Cinema has hit a new low, almost even one-fifth of yesterday's audience. No, because people have gone to see "Your Name", their theaters are naturally rarely visited.

This situation is not only happening in Japan, but in Huaxia next door, "Your Name" released on the same day also has an endless stream of viewers, and some stocks are sweeping the north and south of the country.

In the face of such a grand occasion, the media chasing hot spots scrambled to report, squatting at the gates of major theaters, and constantly interviewing the crowd of 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 experience of watching the movie, they all praised "Your Name", calling it a masterpiece rarely seen in ten years, with exquisite pictures. Shocking, the plot is well designed, and the soundtrack is pleasant to the ear, it is almost a perfect level of work.

Some TV stations have even started live broadcasts outside the theaters, and they are more concerned than Firefly itself. The live broadcasts continue from morning to night. Don't say, the ratings are not low.

And when the day passed, the box office of "Your Name" was quickly exposed by the media on the first day.

63 billion!

According to the comprehensive statistics of major theaters, "Your Name" sold a box office of 63 billion yen in one day, which means that at least more than 200 million people entered the theater to watch "Your Name" on this day. "

This data shocked countless people. When the media, audiences and practitioners in the film and television industry were faced with the data of 63 billion yen, they first did not believe it, and then more and more media and theaters came out and announced, eliminating the possibility of falsification.

When people believe this data, the first thing that comes to mind is to check the first-day box office record of Japanese movies, which is only 29 billion yen, which is more than twice your name.

An animated film like "Your Name" actually broke the first-day box office record of Japanese movies. If such ticket sales can be maintained, "Your Name" is likely to break the first-week box office of Japanese movies. records, and movie box office records.

But those who are interested have noticed that the box office of 63 billion yen was achieved under the circumstance that Dongbao and other theaters were banned from broadcasting. The reality undoubtedly gave Dongbao and other theaters a slap in the face, and they did not give "You The name of "Blind People's Eyes" won the box office record.

This night is destined for many people to lose sleep and wait until the next day.

Tokyo Sansugi Building, where the Toho Cinema is located, the major cinemas that had a party a few days ago, came here again.

Compared with the last time, the [-] theaters that banned "Your Name" this time are not only impatient, but have become a little crazy and fearful after being hit hard.

Gutian Yadou, who is over 63 years old, is the leader. At the last meeting, he said that Su Jie was an ignorant child. This time, facing the box office of [-] billion, the old man's face was sweating and his face was faintly pale. I didn't want to hold a meeting, but I was forced to hold this meeting by other theater owners.

"63 billion, a full 63 billion yen at the box office, this was completed in one day, who said "Your Name" is not worth mentioning, how is it now, who can tell me what it is?"

"Today, my theater chain is very small, only three or two cats. I watched other theaters make a lot of money and divide up the 63 billion. We didn't get anything. Gutian Yadou, you are the initiator, you know my loss. How big is it? If I hadn’t listened to you at the beginning, I would have made at least tens of millions of yen today, and it’s all your fault.”

"Hehe, it would be better if it lost a few days. The sales of "Your Name" are so good, I am afraid that it will not be offline for a month or two, and we have been the villains this time, and now the public opinion is even more against us. Disadvantage, even if "Your Name" ends in the future, we will be blacklisted by Firefly Animation Company and will be well known by the vast audience, but this familiarity is notorious, and this influence will continue by then, and the number of viewers will be delayed. If we are late, we may be closed and closed down.”

The bosses of more than a dozen theater chains didn't say anything about their feelings this time. The meeting broke out at the beginning, and the blame was directed at Gutian Yadou, the initiator.

If it wasn't for Gutian Yadou's ban on broadcasting at the beginning, there would be no such thing as today. They can also happily lie at home and count the money. What's the use of being in such a hurry now that they can't eat well and can't sleep. Well, I worry about whether there is still a tomorrow for my theater chain.

"Everyone, it was my mistake this time. I didn't expect "Your Name" to be so successful in Japan. I... I've delayed everyone."

Facing the iron-like facts, Gutian Yadou, an old man over sixty years old, had a gloomy expression, stood up, bowed 90 degrees, and did not straighten his waist for a long time.

"Apologize is useful and what do the police do? Who is responsible for our losses now? How do we get through this difficult time? Can your apology solve this problem?"

"That's right, what kind of venture capital funds are there? Now that we have had such a big incident, we haven't seen them come out to help us. Is this discarding us as abandoned children?"

"My biggest regret now is that I listened to your old man's bewitchment. No, I have to find a way to remedy it. Gutian Yadou, you will go to Firefly Animation Company tomorrow to apologize to Su Jie in person. You must strive for his forgiveness. Just tell him that our theater chain can show each other's movies and arrange them enough, and there will never be any more troubles."

......

However, Gutian Yadou's bow is useless at all. Now that it involves vital interests, it can still affect whether the theater chain can continue to operate in the future. People will not accept it at all. The accusations are louder, and even the initiator Gutian Yadou is asked to find it. Su Jie apologized and said it all.

Gutian Yadou's face is ugly, but fortunately his physical fitness is not bad, otherwise he will have a heart attack.

"What are you arguing about, why are you arguing for me, and it's useless to look like a successful person, now it's only one day, although the box office of 63 billion yen is a lot, but in my opinion, it's just one day, to be able to have this box office It's because of Su Jie's personal fame and appeal. Nine out of ten people who go 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, and everyone's worries are too serious."

A man in his thirties snorted coldly and said that he was Naoya Kondo, the president of Shochiku Cinema, and his status on the scene was second only to Gutian Yato.

"I think you are nonsense. I also secretly watched "Your Name" today. The quality of the production is better than any animation movie I have seen. I still don't admit the reality, you Naoya Kondo I really can't shed tears without seeing the coffin, you can spend it as long as you want, anyway, I will definitely ease the relationship with Su Jie."

"That's right, I will come to the door tomorrow to ask for the crime. I will not do the profitable business, and I will lose money and go bankrupt with you. I am not that stupid. Do you want to go together tomorrow?"

"Go together, go together, I don't want to hang out with them either."

"Sorry! I should have quit a long time ago, but fortunately there is still help now. I hope Su Jie can let us go, otherwise we will 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 stamped on the pillar of shame and ridiculed over and over again, and no one will come to see the movie in our theaters."

This time, different from the last time, many people did not buy it, but saw that Kondo Nao was also a person who wanted to save face, so they got up and left, leaving no more than ten people, and they were also very hesitant. The entire alliance can basically be declared to collapse .

"Baga, a bunch of bastards who see the wind and rudder, what do they know, a "Your Name" scares them like this, it's a shame for us Heisei boys." Kondo Naoya was furious, but unfortunately it didn't help at all.

"Forget it, let's go, let's go, now we can only take one step and watch one. I hope that the situation will not deteriorate to that level as you said."

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

"We still have hope of winning. I have already found a lot of sailors to discredit "Your Name" on the Internet. When fans consume it today, "Your Name" is just an ordinary movie. Say, how can an animated movie break the Japanese box office record, it's impossible." Kondo Nao also said viciously, he despised animated movies from the bottom of his heart, thinking that it was just a child's plaything.

......

But things didn't go as expected, and the slowdown in box office sales of "Your Name" that Naoya Kondo expected did not happen at all.

Because the audience's eyes are sharp, the audience of "Your Name" that day received rave reviews of the movie, and they kept leaving messages on the Internet and Amway. How can the sailors whom Kondo Naoya find compare to the hundreds of thousands of Amway audiences? It has long been submerged under the sea of ​​praise.

More and more audiences are going to the cinema because of Amway, watching this animated film that people hyped up, and feeling the charm of "Your Name".

On the second day of the release of "Your Name", the cumulative box office exceeded [-] billion yen.

On the third day, it broke 150 billion.

......

On the seventh day, the cumulative box office exceeded 300 billion yen.

The promise that Su Jie made at the beginning was successfully completed during the golden week of the movie, and by the way, it also broke the box office record for the first week in Japan.

Originally, it was a bit difficult to complete the box office record within a week, because the number of movie theaters was not enough. Even if the movie was popular, it was impossible for the movie theater to show only one movie. That way, 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 the release of "Your Name", ten theater owners who had banned "Your Name" went to the Firefly Company overnight to ask Su Jie.

At that time, Su Jie was holding a celebration banquet, making the group wait outside for several hours, shivering in the cold wind, and finally gave them a chance to meet.

Su Jie reluctantly accepted the repentance of these people after the other party's begging and the substantial concession on the box office share.

As for those who are still unwilling to repent, Su Jie has given them the death penalty. It is impossible to cooperate and plead for mercy in the future. As a first-time film company, Firefly needs to kill the chickens and show the monkeys to establish its own prestige. It happens that Kondo These people are a good target.

Also let those VC funds know that they don't have the ability to get stuck in their necks.

Then the ten theater owners who pleaded for mercy and were forgiven by Su Jie canceled the ban on "Your Name", giving the audience more channels to watch the movie, and making "Your Name" the box office revenue climbed steadily and went all the way.

300 billion yen, this is not the top.

Chapter 490 Six: Great Victory

At this point, the venture capital fund's plan to invest in Su Jie's company can basically be declared bankrupt.

The sniping they provoked at Dongbao Cinemas not only failed to achieve the desired effect, but instead made the story of "Your Name".

A month later, "Your Name" achieved a box office of more than 550 billion yen in Japan, breaking the box office record of Japanese movies and almost reaching an unsurpassable result.

Up to now, "Your Name" is still not offline, but the number of broadcasts has been reduced. Even if the venues are full like the Golden Week when there is no movie broadcast, it is currently the hottest 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 unavoidable to reduce the number of screenings. If you want to take "Your Name" offline, it will take a month or so. .

Not only Japan, the box office results of the neighboring Huaxia also came out. In this month, the entire Huaxia District sold a total of 14 billion yuan at the box office.

And just after the first week of "Your Name", seeing "Your Name"'s box office revenue is so high, theaters in Europe and the United States have also been dispatched, and successively signed an introduction contract with Firefly Animation.

"Your Name" has also been released in Europe and the United States, as well as other Southeast Asian countries, Russia, Australia and other countries, and they have achieved extremely beautiful results.

Even in Europe and the United States, which are more influenced by Disney animation, "Your Name" has won the recognition of everyone with its excellent production.

As of today, "Your Name" has been officially released for a month, and the cumulative global box office has exceeded 12 billion US dollars. According to relevant experts, after the global screening of "Your Name" is over, the box office will definitely exceed 15 billion US dollars. This box office achievement What is the concept? "Your Name" can now be ranked No. 6 in the world's film history box office, and it is likely to rush into the top three when the film ends.

No one has ever imagined that an animated film can achieve such a performance against the sky. Even Disney, the big brother of animated films, can't do it. A company that is fledgling in Japan and making animated films for the first time has done it.

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

All male and female couples, if they have not watched "Your Name", then there must be a problem with their relationship.

Some people even say that after asking a girl to watch "Your Name", even the confession will increase the success rate by 99%.

Because the body swap setting of "Your Name" directly led to the emergence of a large number of similar novels, it is said that Brunei Publishing House has experienced a blowout of novels with body swap settings in the submitted light novels.

And several top-level soundtracks in "Your Name", including Dream Lantern, Previous Life, Spark, and 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 movies have learned a lot from "Your Name", such as the production of excellent pictures, which 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 film, Su Jie's name has become famous all over the world, and he has enjoyed many praises and applause.

Opposite to Su Jie, the ten theaters led by Dongbao Cinemas boycotted "Your Name", which has now become the object of ridicule of all Japanese fans, living in dire straits.

Not only are the audiences in its theaters getting rarer and fewer, and the number of moviegoers is huge, but under the background of "Your Name", the reputation is completely stinky.

In particular, Su Jie's blacklist restrictions are on the Internet all the time. It is simply a public execution, which has caused the performance of these theaters to decline. Several companies have been unable to withstand the pressure. After praying to Su Jie to no avail, they had to. Declared bankruptcy and sold the cinema chain in his hand to others.

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

Just made a lot of profits from "Your Name". These small theater chains are rich and powerful, and they have not hesitated to acquire companies that used to be enemies. Therefore, they have learned how powerful Su Jie is.

A single movie ruined several medium-sized theater chains, which strengthened their belief in cooperating with Su Jie. After all, following Su Jie's delicious food and spicy food, they made a total of more than [-] billion yen in one movie. Su Jie can't get through only if his brain is flooded. Those closed theaters are bloody lessons.

......

Sansugi Building!

This is the third meeting held here recently.

If the first meeting was agitated and the second was anger, this third was dead.

There are only five cinema owners who can still sit here, and the others either turn to Su Jie to beg for pity, or it is difficult for the cinema to operate, and the resale company quit the business.

And most of the five people who stayed here are still struggling to survive. With the relatively large scale of the theater chain, they have barely survived until now.

Even so, their empty theaters are already covered with dust, and there are no audiences, but they need to pay huge maintenance fees and venue fees, and there is no end to the loss of money. One or two less.

As the initiator, in just one month, Gutian Yadou seemed to be ten years older. His originally black and white hair was already completely white, and his face was full of wrinkles, so that several people present almost didn't recognize it.

The scene was silent, and the five-person meeting looked very desolate. Looking at the empty conference table, Gutian Yadou couldn't help but feel sad.

Thinking about how high-spirited he was two months ago, when twenty large and medium-sized theater chains gathered together to suppress a newcomer in the film industry that had just emerged, it seemed to him that it was an easy thing to accomplish.

But no one thought of the ending. The wild goose was pecked by the wild goose all day long, and the good situation gradually fell to this field. Most of his Dongbao Cinemas' cinemas are now closed, but they still can't stop the decline.

Poor management has made him criticized and abused at the shareholders' meeting, but he can't come up with any solution. Under the internal stress and external distress, his health is not as good as before, and his hair will turn white in a month. .

There was silence in the conference room for a long time, and even Naoya Kondo, who was the most clamorous before, the president of Shochiku Cinema, was silent and did not dare to speak.

In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that no one at Shochiku Cinemas was willing to take the blame, Nao Kondo would have been ousted long ago, and now he is being retained as the president just to clean up the mess. No one dared to come out to take over except him.

"It's not what I want to see that things have deteriorated to this point. If you can do anything, just say it directly. There are no outsiders here." Gutian Yadou coughed. As the initiator, he can only talk about this. head.
