Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 206 Let the box office fly for a while
Even without the existence of the male protagonist Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the follow-up promotional activities have begun.

Various publicity programs and promotional activities have been launched throughout Japan.

Warner Japan has increased investment in publicity, whether it is newspapers, magazines, or various online network activities, all of which have made this movie very popular.

Those film critics who thought at the beginning that Kiyoshi Sakamoto could not support the entire movie were all slapped in the face by the high box office after the release of "Death Note" and the good reputation of the audience. . .

Especially Kiyoshi Sakamoto's performance in the movie is completely worthy of the original author Takeshi Obata's evaluation of him.

"I think Kiyoshi Sakamoto is the perfect Yagami in my mind!"

And those film critics, after seeing the word-of-mouth and box office of "Death Note", also changed their tone one after another, and began to vigorously advocate Kiyoshi Sakamoto and this movie in movie magazines and newspapers.

Coupled with the follow-up publicity, a comic-adapted movie that was originally only liked by young people has attracted the attention of other age groups, which has also led to a continuous increase in the social attention of the movie.

Many middle-aged viewers have noticed that there is a very popular movie starring the very popular Kiyoshi Sakamoto called "Death Note".

The second week was the full week of "Death Note"'s release, and the box office of 10 billion also made it the champion of this week's movie box office.

And in the third week, the time to decide the outcome has arrived.

Whether "Death Note" can become a blockbuster movie that can be screened for a long time like "Aquaman 2" depends on the attendance rate and box office of this week.

Generally speaking, Japanese movies can be screened for more than two months, but there may not be one movie released every year.

Japanese movies, like records, are explosive, just like novelty.

Audiences, when they first heard this song or watched this movie, they were very interested and felt very fresh. However, as time goes by, the freshness will slowly dissipate, and this will be reflected in Record sales are down, and movie attendance is down.

As a small commercial film, if "Death Note" wants to be screened for a long time, it must not drop too much in the attendance rate every week.

Only in this way can the people in the theater think that it will be profitable to continue to show this movie. As long as they can make money, the theater will be happy to continue to show this "Death Note" in the theater.

Therefore, the third week is a very important week for Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Warner Japan, and the movie "Death Note".

A week passed slowly while everyone waited anxiously.

On July 7, the third week of "Death Note" was released.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was holding the remote control at home, watching TV boredly, and waiting for the box office release of the third week, heard his cell phone ring.

He immediately put down the remote control, picked up the phone, and connected the call.

"clear?"

The person who came was indeed Uncle Ishida.

"Well, did it come out? How much?" Kiyoshi Sakamoto's tone was filled with uncontrollable tension.

Also, as his debut film, this "Death Note" is of great significance to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, so even he who is usually calm when encountering problems, is somewhat nervous at this critical moment.

"It's out, the third week's box office is... 11 billion!!!"

The moment Sakamoto Kiyoshi heard this number, the boulder he had been holding in his heart was put down at once.

Instead of falling, increase!

Compared with the 10 billion in the second week and the 11 billion in the third week, although the increase is not large, you must know that the box office chart of general movies seems to be going downhill.

The first week at the beginning is the time when the box office is the highest, because this is when the public has a new feeling for the movie; in the following, through the comments of the first batch of audiences and the comments of film critics, the second batch of audiences will Selectively entering theaters, that creates a phenomenon that the box office will definitely drop.

The longer the movie is released, the more people watch it, and the number of people who enter the theater to watch it is gradually decreasing.

After all, those people are the only ones who watch movies, and those who have seen them rarely watch them again, unless the quality of the movie is really good enough.

This has led to the phenomenon that the box office keeps getting lower week by week.

However, for some movies, not because the quality of the movie is so good, but because of the help of some external forces, the box office of the entire movie increased instead of falling, and instead showed a growth against the trend.

This is about Death Note.

I don't know if it was because of the follow-up publicity that more new audiences entered the theater; or because of the change of film critics and a large number of positive reviews, some audiences made a "second review" of this movie again.

The box office of "Death Note" in the third week reached as much as 11 billion!
It also won this week's box office champion again. However, the cumulative box office has reached 28 billion. . .

Three weeks after its release, the box office exceeded 28 billion. It is also the "Memory of Tomorrow" that made "Death Note" surpass the 22 billion box office. It has become the No. 4 of the annual box office list so far this year.

And on top of it, "Sea Monkey 2", which has been released for ten weeks and is about to be released, "The Top Sky Hotel", "Nan たちの Yamato" which has already been released

"Sea Ape 2" has a box office of 68 billion; "The Top Sky Hotel" has a box office of 60.8 billion; "Nan Tachi no Yamato" has a box office of 50 billion.

And, Death Note is still showing!

In other words, the final box office of "Death Note" must be more than 28 billion.

According to the professional box office statistics department, through various data, it is speculated that the final box office of this movie should reach 45 billion.

What is the concept of 45 million?
Let's put it this way, the original history, "Death Note: The Last Name", which is the second part of the "Death Note" movie, ended up with a box office of 52 billion.

And such box office figures have allowed "Death Note: The Last Name" to enter the top [-] in the historical rankings of Japanese local movies.

And as the prequel "Death Note", with a final box office of 45 billion, it can also enter the top [-]!

In other words, "Death Note" has the potential to become one of the fifty highest-grossing films in Japan.

This kind of speculation also made Warner Japan and Sony very happy.

Warner is happy to be able to earn a lot of money; Sony is also very pleased because seeing their most favored little heavenly king, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, can achieve such a good result for the first time starring.

After all, if Sony wants to train Kiyoshi Sakamoto into Sony's first all-round artist, then Kiyoshi Sakamoto must not only make a difference in the music world, but more importantly, make a big difference in both the big and small screens.

Therefore, seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's acting skills being recognized by the public, as well as the high box office of the movie, also made Sony executives have other ideas about Kiyoshi Sakamoto's future plans.

. . . . . .

mid-July.

Just when the outside world was admiring Warner Japan's small and broad, Kiyoshi Sakamoto had already arrived in Hokkaido, the northernmost point in Japan.

Every time he comes to Hokkaido, it is because of his "sister" Xiaoqiao, and this time is no exception.

Because I haven’t visited Xiaoqiao for a long time, and some time ago, because of Kara-chan’s birthday, Kiyoshi Sakamoto called Xiaoqiao to ask her opinion. . .

And that time was the last time Kiyoshi Sakamoto talked with Xiaoqiao.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto also missed Xiaoqiao very much, so he went to Hokkaido to visit Xiaoqiao when he had no classes to attend recently and had more time.

Sitting on the plane, Kiyoshi Sakamoto picked up an entertainment magazine he bought at the airport to pass the time, and read it.

When he saw the name of the magazine, he felt a little funny for a moment, and murmured cheerfully.

"How did you get this book..."

I saw the name of this magazine, called "Movie Xunbao".

From the name, we can know that this magazine is a magazine that reports news about movies.

That's right, as the most authoritative movie magazine in Japan, "Movie Xunbao", which has been established for nearly a century, is the best channel for the Japanese public to learn about the latest movie trends.

On the cover of this issue of "Film Xunbao", there is a young man wearing a black suit jacket with a stern face.

This person is "Night God Moon" Sakamoto Kiyoshi!

That's right.

The cover character of this issue of "Film Xunbao" is Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Before Kiyoshi Sakamoto set off for Hokkaido, "Death Note", which was released for the fourth week, also ushered in this week's box office figures.

5 million.

This number can neither be said to be high nor low, it can only be said to be expected.

After experiencing the crazy contrarian rise last week, and under the impact of several movies released this week, the public's freshness of this movie has once again been exhausted.

Therefore, it led to a serious decline in the box office in the fourth week.

The two films that were released simultaneously on July 7, the theatrical version of "Pokemon: It's You!" and "The Sinking of Japan", have had a big impact on the ongoing "Death Note".

Even so, "Death Note" benefited from the large number of screens and the high attendance rate, and it still won the runner-up of the weekly box office list, only under the just-released "Japan Sinks".

At this time, "Death Note" has almost entered the late stage of the screening, judging from the box office that has fallen sharply.

However, the effect of "Death Note" has shifted from movies to individuals.

Although the public has no interest in continuing to watch "Death Note" in theaters, their enthusiasm for the movie suddenly turned to Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who performed very well in the movie.

This is why the authoritative film magazine "Movie Xunbao" put Kiyoshi Sakamoto on the cover of the magazine.

Because, when it comes to the most watched young actor at the moment, Kiyoshi Sakamoto is none other than Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

Kiyoshi Sakamoto smiled while flipping through the "Movie Xunbao", but his heart drifted away. . .

　Let tickets and subscriptions, walk around, if you don't pay attention, please click a wave of attention, thank you Sakamoto!
