Reborn Japan for entertainment

Chapter 651 The overall situation has been decided
"Crying Out for Love in the Center of the World" can be described as a shining star in the history of Japanese film.

The title of "the highest-grossing romance film in history" has been in his pocket since 2004.

In the past six years, the pure love film category has experienced a lot.

There are endless good pure love movies.

"Sparkle in Tears", "Just Love You", "Love in the Sky", "My First Love Belongs to You" and other films that have both word-of-mouth and box office success, are all successively impacting the historical status of "Calling Love in the Center of the World".

However, even "Love in the Sky" starring Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Yui Aragaki, which moved thousands of people, could not win that title from "Calling Love in the Center of the World".

It is conceivable that "Crying Out for Love in the Center of the World" has the dominance of pure love films. . .

The box office score of 85 billion is enough to stand out from the crowd!
However, judging from the opening of "Those Years", this may be the movie most likely to beat "Calling Love in the Center of the World"!
You know, the summer vacation is here, and the students are also on vacation.

And these young people are trying their best to contribute box office to their idols!

Many young people go to theaters to watch movies together in groups, and there are not a few who do it twice or three times.

"Those Years" is not only popular among young people, but even many hardcore people in society appreciate this movie that records the traces of youth.

This is also due to the positive comments on the film by major film critics and social celebrities.

After watching "Those Years", many film critics who had previously expressed strong doubts, as well as experts in the film industry, have expressed their views and comments on the film.

Contrary to the previous downturn, most of the comments from film critics are praise and approval. . .

"Youth without regrets is incomplete. A 20-year-old young man, with his own lens, brought us into that beautiful love story with a regretful ending. The shooting technique is not brilliant, but it is better than sincerity. I I really like the two lines in the movie: "Thank you for liking me" and "I also like me who liked you back then." I think this is the best annotation of this movie." ——Famous film critic Kazuo Sato.

"In ten years of youth, an ignorant young man poured all his feelings into that love. Although he felt that the male protagonist was stupid and didn't know how to adapt at all, which girl would never want to have such a one, What about the boy who likes me very much? Youth may not be far away, it is just around us..." —— Kazuya Hirayama, film critic of "Film Xunbao".

"It has no unexpected plot, and there is no romantic courtship offensive. What is just a childish boy's emotional process for a girl for many years. Youth is a very beautiful word. In youth, we There are girls we like; in youth, we have buddies who play pranks hand in hand; in youth, we even have the memory of being sad and laughing together... Kiyoshi Sakamoto expressed to us with his immature lens that this is not just The youth of "Kosuke Mizushima" and the youth of "Hayase Makoto" are even more our youth." ——Masaru Yamaguchi, film critic for the "Art of Cinema" column.

. . .

Not only the film critics who turned their guns around, but also the celebrities who endorsed "Those Years", and the artists and stars who had become friends with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, all advertised the movie "Those Years" on their social networks.

In particular, Takeshi Kitano's after-viewing impressions of the film's leading role made the entire entertainment industry look sideways.

"I don't have the habit of going to other people's movie premieres, but in the early days, my daughter was always in my ear, chanting the name of Kiyoshi Sakamoto, and saying that his movie is about to be released, etc. Driven by curiosity, I went to the premiere of "Those Years" without being invited."

"In the movie theater, there are all young people. This makes me, a thick-skinned old guy, feel a little embarrassed."

"However, the story on the screen made me quickly forget these insignificant things. This is a very worthwhile movie."

"Sakamoto-kun, who is directing for the first time, may not be proficient in details such as screen construction and camera transitions, but the freshness of the screen and the ability to tell stories have initially revealed his own style."

"Let me shoot, I will never be able to shoot such a youth story."

When Takeshi Kitano published his comments on Kiyoshi Sakamoto and "Those Years" on the show, while causing an uproar, it also made the attention of "Those Years" continue to rise!

For a time, "Those Years" formed a youthful storm that swept across Japan!

When young people are chatting, they will always talk about the most popular "popular style" nowadays, and talk about the plot of the movie.

If you haven't watched "Those Years", you won't even be able to get in.

This also prompted these unpopular young people to enter the theater one after another to watch movies. . .

Against the background of good media and film critics, "Those Years" ushered in the second week of screenings.

Sure enough, as the public had speculated, "Those Years" still dominated the box office next week.

Five new local movies released, "The Longest Summer in Japan", "The Word of Love 2: To the End of the World", "Kamen Rider W (Double) FOREVER AtoZ/Gaia Memory Stick of Destiny", "God Help!" "" "Team Guardian of the Sky", none of them can pose a threat to "Those Years".

"Those Years" once again won the weekly championship with a weekly box office of 17 billion!
The box office was 23 billion in the first week, and 17 billion in the second week. In just two weeks, "Those Years" earned a terrifying box office of 40 billion!
From this point of view, the public has seen the possibility of "Those Years" defeating "Crying Out for Love in the Center of the World" and taking its place.

Many media rushed to shout out in their newspapers and magazines, "The first novel will break the record, "Those Years" will become the best-selling pure love film?!" Maybe lost to the regretful youth of "Those Years"?!" and other slogans.

Facing the praise and optimism of the media, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the person involved, was not too excited.

The uneasiness and uneasiness in his heart disappeared after the box office results of 40 billion in two weeks.

According to the statistics and speculations of relevant departments, it is only a matter of time before the box office of "Those Years" surpasses "Calling Love in the Center of the World".

In this way, Sakamoto Kiyoshi, who thought that the overall situation was settled, could finally breathe a sigh of relief and put his mind on another major matter. . .
