Chapter 656 Who Says I Can't Make Movies
The "five-year agreement" signed between THE SUN and NHK is only a private agreement.

The two parties will not hold a special press conference to announce that THE SUN will be the host of the Red and White Song Concert in the next five years.

That would not do any good to NHK or THE SUN, it would only make the outside world think that the post of red and white anchor was being manipulated in the dark. . .

Although, that's the truth of the matter.

However, there is no need to make it public.

. . . . . .

In September 2010, when "Those Years" was still in theaters, hitting the shaky record of "Calling Love in the Center of the World", "Killing City: The Perfect Answer", which was released for two months, was officially released from theaters .

The release date of "Killing City: Perfect Answer" is on the same day as "Jumping Search Line 3", July 7rd.

"Jumping the Big Search Line" is a police drama that has been accepted by a wide audience because of its innovative content, and it is also one of the most popular TV dramas and movie series in Japanese history.

Compared with the first two works whose average box office exceeded 3 billion, "Jumping Search Line [-]", as the third film version, has very high expectations from the public.

And against this background, "Killing City", starring Kiyoshi Sakamoto, is known as a big production, and "Jumping Search Line 3" just went head-to-head!

In the first week of release, within seven days, it won 10 billion.

After two months of release, the final box office was fixed at 43 billion.

From the box office point of view, compared with the previous "Killing City", it is only a little higher.

However, it is still a very brilliant number.

However, due to the many plot adaptations and shrinking special effects in the latter part, even the actors led by Sakamoto Kiyoshi have dedicated their superb acting skills and wonderful fighting scenes, and they cannot restore the popularity of "Killing City: Perfect Answer". Waterloo at the box office.

However, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Relying on Kiyoshi Sakamoto's strong box office appeal as always, the two chapters of "Killing City" still won an excellent box office score of nearly 85 billion.

Such a good result, but let "Killing City" before and after, second only to "Jumping Search Line 3", ranked second and third respectively in the box office list of live-action movies in 2010, which is not yet over!
However, in the eyes of the public, such a good result is not satisfactory.

You know, according to the estimates of the producer, the media, and the statistics department, the two chapters of "Killing City" will break through tens of billions in box office!

The box office of 85 billion is barely enough for the producers to recover the cost.

Moreover, there is a difference of nearly 85 billion between 15 billion and [-] billion. Of course, such a result cannot satisfy the producers.

After all, NVT and Nikkatsu recruited Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the "Heisei No. 1", to serve as the main player with the idea of ​​making a lot of money.

However, the box office was unsatisfactory, and it was difficult for the producers to pass this responsibility on to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

In fact, the adapted script is too different from the original manga, causing a large number of die-hard fans of the original manga to publicly boycott the film.

Many times, the box office contribution of comic-adapted movies comes from fans of the original comics.

However, "Killing City" kicked away the large group of box office contributors abruptly!

"Killing City", which has lost a large number of fans of the original work, can still win a single box office of 40 billion. I have to say that a large part of the credit is due to Kiyoshi Sakamoto.

After all, the number of his personal fans is not less than the number of fans of the original comic book "Killing City". . .

However, what's interesting is that fans of the original book almost all pointed their finger at the supervisor and producer of the movie, and didn't take Kiyoshi Sakamoto as the main character.

After all, in the movie, in addition to the highly restored costumes and weapons, only Kiyoshi Sakamoto's cool fighting and excellent acting skills can make the whole movie not look so bad. .

Therefore, an astonishing scene happened: On one side, a large number of audiences and fans were scolding that the movie destroyed the classics and the screenwriter threw money; Outstanding performance.

Faced with this scene, Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't know how to react, so he could only silently post a "hands-on" emoji on his Twitter, and added "I'm also desperate..."

But, come on, those fans of the original comics also walked into the theater cursing, brushing it twice and brushing it three times.

From the fact that the two parts of "Killing City" both exceeded 40 billion at the box office, we can know that fans just hate iron and steel. . .

On the other hand, "Those Years", written, directed and acted by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, is in a completely different situation.

Only 5 weeks after its release, "Those Years" took in a box office of 68 billion with lightning speed, second only to the 3 billion of "Jumping the Big Search Line 73", temporarily ranking No.2 in the annual box office list .

And there are still 85 billion to break the record of 17 billion in "Crying Out for Love in the Center of the World"!
However, it was released nationwide on July 7 until September 31. In this short period of one month, the box office dominance of "Those Years" was still somewhat affected.

In particular, "Hanazuki", which was released on August 8 and is also a pure love film, shared the audience of "Those Years".

Derived from the song of the same name by singer Yi Qingyao, it tells a long-distance relationship spanning ten years. "Hanamizuki" starring the new "Otaku Goddess" Yui Aragaki also provides other audiences of "Those Years" A viewing option.

Even so, "Those Years" still withstood the impact, continued to maintain a very high attendance rate, and launched the final sprint to "Calling Love in the Center of the World"!

However, the next September will be the critical moment to decide whether "Those Years" can surpass "Calling Love in the Center of the World" and become "the highest-grossing romance film in history"!

Because, several movies that pose a huge threat to "Those Years" seem to be negotiated, and they will all be released simultaneously in September!

Youth films for boys and girls "BECK", "Like I Tell You", award-winning hits "The Wicked", "Thirteen Assassins", and the final work of the popular series "Ape 3", are taking turns to attack "Those Years" , It is bound to stop it from breaking the record!

Can "Those Years" break the record of "Crying Out for Love in the Center of the World" before it is released, and become a topic that the entire entertainment circle, and even Japan, are talking about!
However, in any case, the astonishing box office of "Those Years", as well as the high praise, have already been there. . .

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, the rookie director who is directing for the first time, kicked many doubts and negative opinions into the trash can one by one with his debut film!

"Who said I can't make movies?!"

　Messi: Can't wait for Neymar, so why don't we go first?

　　Ronaldo: Wait a second, Hazard may be on the same plane as us.
