Chapter 344 Gathering Again
October 10th, today is the day when the premiere of the movie "Hot Blooded High School" will be held.

There is still half an hour until the premiere starts. . .

Tokyo, Chiyoda-ku, Roppongi Hills TOHO Cinema.

In the backstage lounge.

"Yo! Brother!"

Wearing a well-fitting black suit and a retro mid-section hairstyle, Kiyoshi Sakamoto walked into the backstage lounge.

Under the stupefied expressions of Takayuki Yamada, Kenta Kiritani and others, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was dressed handsomely, looked like a ruffian, like an American hip-hop singer, saying hello to friends who hadn't seen for a long time in the lounge.

He also walked up to Takayuki Yamada, Kenta Kiritani, Kyosuke Yabe and others one by one, and bumped fists with everyone.

Even if others didn't realize what he meant, he didn't care at all, and directly clenched the opponent's hand into a fist, artificially creating a fist bump salute.

His enthusiastic and nonsensical actions made Yamada Takayuki and others completely unable to react.

This little brother played the role of the host very non-stop, holding an empty mineral water bottle, acting as a microphone, handing it into the air, and shouting loudly.

"Long time no see! Mina-san! Vitality?!"

Of course, no one would pay attention to him who is self-proclaimed. . .

Especially when Takayuki Yamada walked by him with a calm face, completely treating him as a transparent person, which deeply "hurt" Kiyoshi Sakamoto's young heart.

Everyone deliberately ignored their own attitude, and asked Kiyoshi Sakamoto to hold his little heart, pretending to be very uncomfortable, and muttered, "It's piercing my heart... old iron."

Seeing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's funny face, everyone couldn't help but laughed.

"Hahaha!!"

And when Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who saw everyone finally laughing, wanted to continue to say something, the big brother of the crew, "Fist Brother" Yosuke Yabe, walked up to him, and with a burst of chestnuts, the excited unlucky boy, It was suppressed. . .

This plot, which is very much like a funny skit, also dissipated a lot of the tension in the hearts of everyone who was about to attend the premiere.

Seeing this scene full of warmth, Takashi Miike, the supervisor, nodded secretly.

"It seems that there is no need to worry about the lineup of the second part..."

Although the first part has just been filmed, Miike Takashi, Muto Shogo, and the original Takahashi Hiroshi have already started preparations for the second part.

Because, in the eyes of the three of them, at least two films should be filmed for this story in order to present a complete story to the audience through movies.

Therefore, when they just finished filming the first part of "Hot-Blooded High School", they were discussing various possibilities for the second part.

Among them, what worried the three of them the most was whether the original cast of the first part could continue to play during the filming of the second part.

Especially Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the leading actor whose career is booming, the actor of "Takiya Genji"!
Judging from the current development trend, Kiyoshi Sakamoto will definitely be more favored by major film companies or TV stations in the future.

After all, as a super-popular actor who may not be able to produce one at present or in the future, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the first starring actor in Heisei with a box office of over [-] million, has a movie box office return rate that is too high!

The box office mainly starring Sakamoto Kiyoshi has achieved huge profits.

The two parts of "Death Note" cost a total of 20 billion yen to produce.

But the combined box office of the two films exceeded 100 billion yen!

The box office sharing model of Japanese movies is actually quite simple.

Suppose, if the audience buys a 1800 yen movie ticket for "Hot Blood High School" at a movie theater in Tokyo, the movie theater will get 900 yen, and the production committee will get 630 to 810 yen. The final remaining 90 to 270 yen will be obtained by the issuing company Toho.

In "Hot-Blooded High School", Dongbao, as one of the four major film companies, not only leads the production committee, but also has its own theater chain.

Therefore, in the box office of the film "Hot Blood High School", Dongbao, as the distribution company, theater side, and the leader of the production committee, can get most of the box office share.

That is to say, excluding part of the share of theaters, the fixed remuneration of actors, and other promotional expenses, Toho, as the leader of the production company, theater, and production committee, can earn at least more than 30 billion yen net profit!
What is the concept of 30 billion yen?
In 2007, 30 billion yen was roughly equivalent to building a super luxurious villa in the center of Tokyo!
Or you can buy two of the most expensive top-level apartments in Tokyo!

In Japan, since the center of Tokyo is very expensive, it is basically impossible to own a villa. Therefore, the upper class, such as celebrities, wealthy businessmen, and political figures, live in top-level apartments located in the center of the metropolitan area.

The most expensive top-level apartment in Tokyo is located in the famous Roppongi, located on the 42-43 floor, a duplex apartment.

The price of such an apartment of more than 200 square meters is about 11 to 15 billion.

Of course, 30 billion yen is not too much. Converted to US dollars, it is only more than 3000 million US dollars.

The shooting cost of a small-budget sci-fi special effects film in Hollywood is more than that, let alone some blockbuster Hollywood films.

The standard for a blockbuster movie is that the shooting cost is huge, the picture is cool, and the special effects are exquisite. This requires that the final box office must exceed the cost in order for the production company to recoup and even make money.

Hollywood blockbusters with over [-] million yuan can be found everywhere.

However, for Japanese films, two films costing only 20 billion yen can earn [-] times the net profit, which is simply a huge profit!

It is also the high box office and high profits of "Death Note" that will inevitably make Kiyoshi Sakamoto an actor that film companies are eager to invite.

In this way, in the case of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's tight schedule, whether the second part of "Hot-Blooded High School" can invite Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the soul figure, to continue to be the main character, has become Takashi Miike and Shogo Muto's concerns. place.

However, the first part is just getting ready to be released, and the second part won't start shooting until at least 2008.

That said, there's still about a year left.

Therefore, Miike Takashi, who has no good solution for the time being, can only talk quietly to Muto Shogo.

"Oh, sometimes, it's not a very good thing for an actor to be too good!"

. . .

At the premiere, under the eager anticipation of the audience and the media, the crew of "Hot Blooded High School" made their debut!
"Next, let's welcome the crew members of "Hot Blood High School" with warm applause!" The hostess stood on the stage and introduced loudly.

"Clap clap clap!"

Accompanied by thunderous applause, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and director Takashi Miike walked at the front, and important supporting actors such as Takayuki Yamada and Kenta Kiritani followed behind the two and also walked onto the stage.

"Sakamoto-kun!!"

"Yamada-kun!"

As the most popular two people in the crew, Sakamoto Kiyoshi and Yamada Takayuki both received a lot of screams from the female audience.

For this premiere, the crew of "Hot-Blooded High School" invited major media, as well as some professional film critics.

As for the audience, through Dongbao's official website and Sakamoto Kiyoshi's blog lottery, a group of lucky audiences will be selected from many fans, and tickets for the premiere will be given to them.

Of course, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, as the main character, still has a few VIP tickets, which are specially reserved for relatives and friends.

Not only Kiyoshi Sakamoto, but also Takayuki Yamada and others, it's just a question of how many.

And a certain giant loli who co-starred in a pure love film with Kiyoshi Sakamoto wanted to leave three of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's few premiere tickets on the grounds of "to spy on the military situation".

When Kiyoshi Sakamoto asked her why she wanted three instead of one.

Aragaki Yui rolled his eyes, looked at him with an expression of "Are you stupid", and replied.

"Do you still need to ask?! One for me, one for Rena-chan, and one for Sesame-chan!"

Sakamoto Kiyoshi was speechless for a moment.

Therefore, after stepping onto the stage, Kiyoshi Sakamoto immediately searched for the traces of the three women among the audience.

However, as his eyes moved, wherever he went, female fans excitedly held up his various support objects, such as fans with his face printed on them, his large posters, etc., expressing their love to him This also caused him to look away before he found the third daughter.

Yui Aragaki, Masami Nagasawa, and Rena Nonen who were sitting in the corner were all whispering and discussing Kiyoshi Sakamoto's search just now.

"Just now, it seems that the seniors are looking for where we are..." Nengnian Lingnai reminded the two girls who were holding a promotional pamphlet and complaining about the violence of this "fighting" movie.

"Huh? Is that so?" Wearing a peaked cap, Yui Aragaki raised his head and looked at Kiyoshi Sakamoto who was standing between Takashi Miike and Takayuki Yamada, "Forget it, anyway, he already knew we were coming... .”

That look of indifference is a bit capricious.

"Oh." Nengnian Reina also responded obediently.

"Well, but after the movie is over, let's go up and say hello to them. After all, we are also in the same circle. It's not good not to say hello when we come." Fortunately, there was a Nagasawa Masami sitting next to her. , know, in this case, pay more attention to etiquette.

"Yeah, yes..."

In front of Nagasawa Masami, Aragaki Yui is always so docile.

On the stage, the actors led by Kiyoshi Sakamoto also started a verbal battle with the media present.

The reporters took turns asking questions.

The artillery fire of the reporters was also mainly focused on Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was the main character.

However, after experiencing the baptism of the major award ceremonies in February, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's on-the-spot reactions and the routines in facing the reporters' questions have also become more and more proficient.

Not only Kiyoshi Sakamoto, but Takayuki Yamada, Kenta Kiritani and others are experienced actors who have participated in the premiere for an unknown number of times. They are also well prepared for this.

In this way, at the premiere, the actors headed by Sakamoto Kiyoshi dealt with various questions from the media reporters in an orderly manner. . .
