Japanese big things

"Arimura Kasumi-san and I are just ordinary friends. The reason why we stayed in the hotel is because we were discussing follow-up cooperation matters..."

Facing the many media reporters surrounding him, Nakamura Masahiro faced all kinds of criticism, with a solemn and meticulous expression, and a low and indifferent tone like the anchor of a news program, seemingly without any emotion.

"As everyone knows, I collaborated with Arimura Kasumi-san in the TV series "Rampage of Youth"... Arimura Kasumi-san is a very potential actor, and I am looking forward to working with her."

"Because the follow-up cooperation has not been finalized, it is not convenient to reveal too much at the moment. If you are interested, we will make an announcement after the follow-up confirmation..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nakamura Masahiro stopped paying too much attention to the enthusiastic reporters. Under the sound of "clicking" and the protection of security, he finally escaped from the siege smoothly, and then boarded a flight to Berlin.

The wheels rotated rapidly on the runway. As the head gradually lifted up, with a slight jump, the plane seemed to be gliding, fluttering its wings and flying into the sky.

"Nakamura-san, tell me, what's going on between you and Arimura Kasumi-san?"

Yosuke Mukai and Masahiro Nakamura were seated next to each other. After the plane soared smoothly into the sky, he started to inquire about the scandal reported in the news with a gossipy look on his face.

"You two are not really dating, are you?"

"We are just friends. We will be collaborating on a movie later, so we have more frequent contact."

Nakamura Masahiro closed his eyes and fell asleep, not wanting to talk about this topic too much, so he casually said to Yosuke Mukai: "Didn't a movie just come out here? The TV series she starred in was also being broadcast, and she happened to be photographed by reporters again.

arrived, so her firm contacted Dongbao Company to jointly promote the scandal..."

"Oh, so that's what happened, then I'll know."

Although Mukai Yosuke has never participated in similar things, he is well-informed and knows that this is a normal operation in the circle.

Who doesn't like the idea of ​​expanding your reputation at a low cost? If there is any problem, you can get rid of the relationship directly with a casual statement of "just friends".

"I thought you were dating Arimura Kasumi-san..."

Not to mention that Nakamura Masahiro and Arimura Kasumi just have a little more frequent contact. Even if they are not familiar with each other at all, as long as there are relevant benefits to be gained, scandals will be concocted.

Don't talk about morals and bottom lines. Talking about those in the entertainment industry is purely hypocritical. Anyone who emerges from this circle is not a simple person.

"That's not the case..."

After taking a deep breath, Nakamura Masahiro said in a low tone: "I don't have that idea at this stage. I'll wait until I gain a firm foothold in the circle."

"That's a pity. I think Aumura Kasumi-san is pretty good."

Pouring his lips, Yosuke Mukai said in a regretful tone: "She is still a newcomer, and her thoughts are not that complicated. When she stays in the circle for a long time, it will not be that simple."

According to the style of news reports, Mukai Yosuke feels that there is a high probability that Nakamura Masahiro and Arimura Kasumi have some kind of unusually close relationship.

However, Nakamura Masahiro didn't admit it, and Mukai Yosuke couldn't dig into it too much, so he could only keep this suspicion deep in his heart. After all, this was Nakamura Masahiro's private matter.

"Okay, let's not talk about this."

Stopping Yosuke Mukai's interest in continuing to discuss this topic, Masahiro Nakamura changed the topic and said: "How are you these days? You are reported in the media quite frequently. I should contact you if there is an opportunity to star, right?"

"Yes, many companies have contacted me. I have also received some invitations to star in roles, and they are basically low-cost..."

As soon as he mentioned this, Yosuke Mukai's face couldn't help but smile, and his joy was clearly revealed.

"I guess you want to ride on my popularity... After all, "One Long Day" did very well at the box office, and it can compete for awards at the Berlin Film Festival."

Obviously, Mukai Yosuke has not lost his mind due to the current media's enthusiastic pursuit, but still maintains a very calm sobriety and is quite self-aware.

So far, according to statistics from news reports, the box office of "A Long Day" has exceeded 150 million, with a cumulative attendance of 130,000, and its theater attendance rate is generally as high as 80%.

Although this data is not outstanding overall, it has just reached the level of a popular commercial movie. But the problem is that "A Long Day" is not a large-scale production with high investment, but a low-cost literary film.

It achieved the level of a popular commercial movie with such a low production cost. This not only shocked the entire Japanese film industry, but also greatly exceeded the judgment of Dongbao Company. In the same period, the limelight of competitors was also stolen by "The Long Day"

Walked a lot.

There are two main movies released at the same time as "The Long Day", namely "The Corner Confectionery Shop" starring Yu Aoi and Yosuke Eguchi, and "Miracle of the Pacific" starring Yutaka Takenouchi and Mao Inoue, Takayuki Yamada and others

》.

"The Corner Confectionery" is also a low-cost literary film, but its production cost is much higher than that of "The Long Day."

Just after the film was released, "The Corner Confectionery Shop" was harshly criticized and criticized by many film critics, pointing out that its "images are pleasing to the eye, but the content is empty and boring."

Affected by this, the reputation of "The Corner Confectionery Shop" was not very high, and its box office performance was lagged behind from the beginning, which fully illustrates the normal performance of literary and artistic films.

And "Miracle of the Pacific" is not much better. Although it is a large-scale commercial film, it was also criticized by many film critics.

In addition to the generally low reputation of commercial films, "Miracle of the Pacific" was also sharply evaluated as "the protagonist's purpose is very unclear, and the detailed design is extremely failed."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, after all, "Miracle of the Pacific" is a popular commercial blockbuster, with fierce war scenes and the strong support from Toho, its box office performance is still

Very eye-catching.

In just two days of release, the film attracted more than 210,000 moviegoers, with a cumulative box office of 260 million, successfully ranking first on the box office list.

In comparison, the box office performance of "One Long Day" was much inferior. However, considering that it is a low-cost literary film, the actual performance of "One Long Day" actually far exceeded that of "Miracle of the Pacific".

Especially in terms of word-of-mouth, according to statistics on Japan's most authoritative movie rating website Movie., "One Long Day" had an opening score of 3 points, and the current score has risen to 3.6 points.

Movie. is an authoritative movie rating website in Japan, known as Japan’s ‘Douban’ and ‘Rotten Tomatoes’. Along with Yahoo Movies and filmarks, “One Long Day” also received a high score.

Judging from the proportion of comments on each platform, except for a small number of relatively pertinent comments, nearly 80% of them are overwhelmingly positive, with very few users giving negative comments.

Of course, it may also be because there are currently fewer people commenting on it, so it has maintained a higher reputation. After all, the movie has only been released for two days, and there are only a few Japanese people who are willing to comment on the Internet.

However, judging from the current situation, even if the ratings may change as the number of moviegoers continues to increase, judging from the trend of rating content, as long as nothing unexpected happens, there is definitely room for further growth in ratings.

After all, "A Long Day" is not a commercial movie that is easily criticized, but a literary and artistic film that is generally easy to get high scores. As we all know, no matter which country it is in, as long as the quality is excellent, literary and artistic films are more likely to get high scores.

"'One Long Day' is an excellent work. It's hard to believe that it was directed by a young man like Nakamura Masahiro. His future is limitless."

The famous director Yoji Yamada was discovered by reporters at the entrance of the cinema after the movie screening. Faced with the reporter's enthusiastic interview, Yamada Yoji made such a comment.

"An excellent work, with a profound portrayal of the entire Japanese society and workplace. Although the scene is simple, it has profound meaning, and the sense of depressive annihilation is overwhelming."

In the latest issue of "Movie News", senior supervisor Nagisa Oshima also made a comment for the first time in a long time, which attracted a lot of attention.

"I don't know when the young people in Japan lost their vitality, became full of disappointment in the world, and began to give up on themselves... I hope "One Long Day" is just a movie, not reality."

The famous film critic Tadao Sato also published relevant comments in the Sankei Shimbun, and the pessimism revealed between the lines was overwhelming.

"Even if life is full of despair, no matter how much suffering it gives us, and no matter how many scars it leaves behind, we should still have beautiful expectations for this world."

The famous director Hirokazu Kore-eda also published a review in a well-known newspaper. It was not directed at the movie itself, but was more like a post-viewing review.

Many celebrities have expressed their own opinions and comments, openly and covertly supporting "The Long Day", forming a warm atmosphere of public opinion.

Maybe some people do it out of appreciation for Nakamura Masahiro and the movie "One Long Day", but more relevant people came out to express their opinions, probably because of Toho's marketing capabilities.

After more than eight hours of torment, the flight from Tokyo finally landed at Berlin Airport. As people streamed out one by one, Nakamura Masahiro and Mukai Yosuke saw a huge sign held up at a glance.

The names of Nakamura Masahiro and Mukai Yosuke are written in Japanese on it. Although the font is a bit rough, it can still be recognized.

The person holding the sign was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather tie, who looked like an office worker. He was tall and had a serious expression, which was quite in line with the German stereotype.

"Hello, I am Masahiro Nakamura."

"Hello, I am Yosuke Mukai."

Nakamura Masahiro and Mukai Yosuke walked up to them quickly, and then took the initiative to say hello to each other. Obviously, this middle-aged man was sent by the organizers of the Berlin Film Festival to receive Nakamura Masahiro and Mukai Yosuke.
