Chapter 660 The Good News Continues

"Nogizaka?"

This name makes the girls daydream again and again.

Although they stay more in the SMA headquarters building and receive training courses in dance and body, their vocal music lessons go to the SME headquarters building in Chiyoda District.

Therefore, they naturally also know the fact that the Nogi Shrine near SME Company and the street where the company is located are called "Nogizaka".

Because of this, they didn't think too much, but were immersed in the joy of finally knowing the debut time. . .

The days of waiting finally came to an end, which made the three of them concentrate more on various trainings.

And from Uncle Ishida, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who learned about this situation, was also taken aback for a moment, and then muttered, "Inadvertently inserting willows and willows into shade", and put the matter aside for the time being.

The Nogizaka project cannot be completed overnight, and it will take time and manpower to implement it.

On the other hand, the matter attracted his attention.

. . . . . .

February 9th, eight o'clock in the evening.

At this time, most of the company members, except for those who worked overtime or planned to stay overnight, basically got off work and left the company.

Not to mention the leader, he was more punctual than anyone else.

However, in the SMA headquarters building in Shinagawa District, the operation director's office on the 20th floor is still lit.

In the office, only Sakamoto Kiyoshi and his manager, Uncle Ishida.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Sakamoto Kiyoshi looked at the newly awakened night scene in Tokyo through the glass.

The dimly lit streets and bustling areas with people coming and going are the charm of Tokyo, an international metropolis.

"However, in this city that never seems to stop, people are so small..."

Looking at everything outside the window, Kiyoshi Sakamoto's sense of loneliness suddenly gripped his throat like a big hand, making him a little breathless for a moment.

"Qing, the box office is out!"

At this time, Uncle Ishida's words were like a sharp arrow, which shattered the mirror and made a loud noise.

This broke the silence in the room, and also interrupted Kiyoshi Sakamoto's fantasy, saving him from the illusion.

"Oh, I see." Shaking his head and trying to cheer himself up, Kiyoshi Sakamoto walked towards the manager who was sitting on the sofa.

Today is the day when the box office data for the 9th week of "Those Years" is released.

For 8 weeks after its release, the campus youth film "Those Years", written, directed and acted by Kiyoshi Sakamoto, has grossed 84.5 billion box office.

In other words, as long as it gets more than 9 million box office in the 5000th week, then "Those Years" will officially surpass "Calling Love in the Center of the World" and become the highest-grossing local romance film in Japanese film history! ! !

And tonight is the moment to witness the record breaking of "Those Years"!

Sitting down on the sofa, Kiyoshi Sakamoto signaled Uncle Ishida to start.

"He's here..." Reminding the phone, Uncle Ishida pressed the speaker button and placed the phone on the table.

"The number of screens for "Those Years" this week remained at 406, with an average attendance rate of 87%, and finally won..."

The subordinate's voice through the mobile phone has a slightly mechanical unique "rustling" sound, which sounds a bit unclear.

However, judging from the very serious expressions on the faces of Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Uncle Ishida, they only care about the next result.

"Eighty-three million at the box office!"

The moment this number came out, Sakamoto Kiyoshi stood up from the sofa, and very excitedly, he punched the void hard, as if roaring at the enemy of the void, and shouted with a ferocious expression:

"YES!"

This series of actions made Uncle Ishida, who was sitting on the opposite sofa, and the person on the other end of the phone stunned.

Silence, silence. . .

However, Sakamoto Kiyoshi ignored their astonishment, but picked up the phone and said to the subordinate on the other end of the phone, "Thank you, let's do this first."

"Uh..."

With a beep, Kiyoshi Sakamoto hung up the phone before waiting for his subordinates to answer. . .

Although the terrible box office at the beginning and the generally favorable word-of-mouth made the public very optimistic about the relatively high box office of "Those Years".

However, the public never imagined that "Those Years", a film made by the rookie director who directed it for the first time, brought a few "newcomers" who didn't have much acting experience, and the film would be engraved in the history of Japanese film. Cry for Love in the Center of the World, challenge!

Even Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who has the most confidence in the movie, looked at the box office in the past few weeks and thought that "Those Years" really broke the record of "Calling Love in the Center of the World"!

Between thinking and doing, there is actually a difference of a journey to the west.

The debut film broke the six-year-old record. In Kiyoshi Sakamoto's heart, he can only use two words to describe it:
"happy!"

"Notify everyone on the crew to hold a celebration banquet!"

The next day, all major entertainment news headlines and hot searches on the Internet were indeed covered by the news that ""Those Years" broke the record and became the most in history", and the whole screen was swamped!
"The record is dead, and the new king has been born!" This is relatively secondary.

"At the age of 20, Kiyoshi Sakamoto used "Those Years" to tell the whole world that he is the new hope of Japanese movies!" This is deliberately touted.

. . .

The fluidity of the mass media caused this news to become a hot topic in just one day.

In the evening, almost everyone who followed the Japanese entertainment industry knew that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's first film had a box office of 85.3 billion, breaking the box office record of a local romance film!

That night, Kiyoshi Sakamoto and the entire crew of "Those Years" held a grand celebration banquet in a lobby specially arranged by TV Asahi, one of the film producers!
There were more than 300 people present!
In addition to the crew members of "Those Years", TV Asahi and Toho also sent representatives, which can be described as full of voices.

Even Asahi Shimbun, behind TV Asahi, was shocked!

It is conceivable that the achievements of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's movie this time are such a sensation. . .

"This is from TV Asahi..."

"Please advise."

"This one belongs to Dongbao..."

"Please advise."

Under the introduction of the agent, Sakamoto Kiyoshi greeted all the big shots present and expanded his network by the way.

After one night, although the waist was aching because of frequent bending and bowing, the harvest was huge.

Through the intermediary of the president of TV Asahi, he got in touch with one of the most influential newspapers in Japan, the major shareholder behind TV Asahi, Asahi Shimbun!

Not only that, after the celebration banquet, he received a congratulatory text message.

A text message from Takeshi Kitano. . .
