Japanese big things

After finishing the follow-up matters of the commercial shooting in Fukuoka, Nakamura Masahiro immediately rushed back to Tokyo to discuss with representatives from Shueisha about licensing the manga adaptation of the movie "Model Student".

As the movie "Model Student" became popular in Japanese society, the box office performance began to approach the threshold of tens of billions of yen, and the popularity and influence it caused became more and more widespread.

As a publishing industry that is closely connected with the film and television industry, Shueisha, one of the largest comprehensive publishing houses, has early noticed the movie "Model Student" that has been promoted with great fanfare.

In particular, the box office performance of "Model Student" has continued to set new records, setting off a huge craze in Japan, and Shueisha's interest has become even greater.

After an internal meeting and discussion, Shueisha's editorial department unanimously believed that "Model Student", an original film that combines youth, campus, suspense and many other themes, is very suitable to be adapted into a manga.

Of course, Shueisha also wants to ride on the popularity. After all, the movie "Model Student" is now popular among the people. As long as the manga is not bad, sales will definitely be guaranteed.

Therefore, Shueisha quickly contacted Toho, one of the film producers, because they knew that Shogakukan, Kodansha and Kadokawa Shoten would definitely have similar ideas.

Relying on its long-term cooperative relationship, Shueisha successfully defeated its competitors, and with the assistance of Toho, it secured Warner Bros., and then directly interviewed the film supervisor Masahiro Nakamura.

"I wonder who Shueisha is going to arrange to be the artist for "Model Student"?"

After briefly looking at the manga adaptation licensing contract, Nakamura Masahiro had no objections and signed it directly.

After all, both Toho and Warner agreed, and the remuneration given by Shueisha was quite generous, so Nakamura Masahiro had no reason to object.

"The person we selected as the painter is Obata Ken-san..."

"Obata Takeru?"

Hearing this name, Nakamura Masahiro was a little stunned. This is not an ordinary cartoonist. He is willing to be the artist of "Model Student"?

Some people may not be familiar with the name Takeshi Obata, but when they mention his representative works "Soul of the Game" and "Death Note", they will definitely feel enlightened.

"Yes, his serial "The King of Manga" is about to be finished, and he just has some free time. He himself also likes the movie "Model Student" very much."

After carefully recalling it, Nakamura Masahiro vaguely remembered that Takeru Obata's works seemed to be collaborations with others, and his role was always painting.

Compared to Obata Takeru's top-level drawing skills, his screenwriting skills are extremely weak, as has been proven by many works that have been cut in half.

"Okay, I have no problem..."

His reverie thoughts were withdrawn, Nakamura Masahiro nodded friendly towards the representative of Shueisha, and then said goodbye to him.

June 25th is another brand new Sunday, and the latest movie box office statistics have been released, instantly attracting the attention of a large number of people.

The movie that ranks first on the box office list is still the superior "Model Student", which relied on its tenacious fighting spirit to continue to retain the top spot.

The film has been in theaters for nine weeks and attracted 6.253 million moviegoers, and its box office revenue exceeded the 9 billion threshold, reaching 9.25 billion yen.

Although there is still some distance from the goal of tens of billions, with the popularity of "Model Student" and the remaining screen time, there is no problem at all.

Therefore, many media outlets have begun to use the title "Ten Billion Movies" to refer to the movie "Model Student" when making extensive reports.

Compared with the popularity of "Model Student", the foreign Hollywood film "Men in Black 3" has dropped from the runner-up position to the fourth position, and its box office revenue has also begun to decline sharply.

The cumulative release time was five weeks, the number of moviegoers mobilized exceeded 2 million, and the box office revenue reached the 3 billion threshold, reaching 2.96 billion yen.

Although Will Smith came to the Japanese film market with great momentum with the film "Men in Black 3", after a lot of fighting, he exhausted all his energy and failed to dominate the list, and could only stay on the box office list dejectedly.

Defeat.

The movie that climbed to the runner-up position is also "Snow White and the Huntsman" from Hollywood, starring Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron, Chris Hemsworth and Sean Connery.

The starring films also have a strong cast.

Although the film's publicity was not as strong as that of "Men in Black 3", the wave of public opinion it created was not small, and could even suppress the slightly declining popularity of "The Model Student".

"Snow White and the Huntsman" has been in theaters for two weeks, with a total of about 440,000 moviegoers and box office revenue exceeding 643.62 million.

However, in the movie satisfaction survey, "Snow White and the Huntsman" only received a moderate rating of 87.2 points, which is obviously not very high.

In the movie section of the famous Yahoo website, this movie was given a passing score of 3.26 by netizens, and its box office prospects are worrying.

Many netizens focused on the queen played by Charlize Theron and the princess played by Kristen Stewart.

Everyone complained that the queen would be jealous of the princess's beauty, because Kristen Stewart is not as beautiful as Charlize Theron at all. The so-called jealousy is obviously unconvincing.

The third runner-up movie is "Hotaro no Light: The Movie," starring Haruka Ayase and Naoto Fujiki. It is adapted from the original manga and has inherited the popularity of the original popular TV series, and its appeal is quite impressive.

The original 316 screens at the time of the release have been expanded to 323, with a total of more than 500,000 moviegoers mobilized and box office revenue of 635.74 million.

Before the movie was released, Ayase Haruka made a special call to Nakamura Masahiro to express his apology for riding the popularity of "Model Student" and Nakamura Masahiro.

There is no way, even if the popularity of "Model Student" begins to wane, it will still be one of the focuses of public opinion. Just make some news about it and it will attract a lot of attention.

Nakamura Masahiro didn't pay much attention to this, because he was already a little numb. Popular movies are so popular that it is inevitable to be criticized.

For example, when Koji Wakamatsu's movie "11.25 Day of Self-Determination·Mishima Yukio and Wakaza" was released, the producer also took advantage of Masahiro Nakamura's popularity when announcing it. What could he say?

However, Wakamatsu Koji privately took the initiative to write a letter to Nakamura Masahiro, explaining the reason in detail and expressing his apology for this.

Unfortunately, the film "11.25 Day of Self-Determination·Mishima Yukio Wakaza" is really unpalatable, and it is said that the quality of the film is not very good.

The movie is a small-scale release, so the box office is naturally not worth mentioning. I am afraid we can only count on awards.

"Roman Baths", which could compete with "The Model Student" before, has been like a fallen meteor, basically exhausting its box office potential and falling directly to the bottom of the box office list.

The box office performance of up to 5.2 billion yen proves that "Roman Baths" is indeed very good, but compared with its competitor "Model Student", the gap has widened to almost double.

Although there will definitely be some box office gains in the future, overall, the box office results of "Roman Baths" will not change much, and there is definitely no hope of breaking the 6 billion threshold.

"How was the audition today?"

After finishing the recording of TBS TV's promotional program, Masahiro Nakamura went downstairs to the selection site for the TV series version of "Model Student".

At this time, the producer Genichiro Miyagi and the TV series director Katsuo Fukuzawa were both in the conference room. The selection event had just come to an end, and the two were communicating.

Seeing Nakamura Masahiro appear, both of them were a little surprised. Although they knew that Nakamura Masahiro was recording the show upstairs, they did not expect that the other party would come to the selection site.

"What else..."

Miyagi Genichiro raised the notepad on the table, sighed a little helplessly, and casually replied: "It's just a formality, it's not like you don't know."

Katsuo Fukuzawa on the side narrowed his eyes. He knew that the headmaster and Masahiro Nakamura had a good relationship, but he did not expect that the two would be so close.

"Who is the hero?"

The heroine of the TV series "Model Student" has long been tipped to be Riho Yoshioka, so Masahiro Nakamura is very curious about who will play the male lead?

"It is still under consideration and the candidate has not yet been determined."

Genichiro Miyagi said with a bit of sadness: "There are many candidates who want to star in the role. Powers in the industry such as Johnny's Agency, Oscar Agency and Star Agency all want to get this opportunity."

The box office performance of the movie "Model Student" has set a new record, and its popularity and influence in Japanese society have reached a level that everyone knows.

Therefore, as soon as the news that it would be adapted into a TV series came out, it immediately aroused strong attention in the entertainment circle.

Especially the age-appropriate artists who are backed by large agencies, whether they are actresses or actresses, they all want to work hard to get this opportunity to star.

After all, with the popularity of the movie "Model Student", as long as the quality of the TV series does not drop, the audiovisual performance will definitely not be bad.

If you take a step back and think about it, even if the audiovisual performance of the TV series is not good, starring in the TV series version of "Model Student" can still greatly increase the artist's popularity.

"That's normal..."

Seeing Miyagi Genichiro's slightly sad face, Nakamura Masahiro felt a sense of evil in his heart.

Those large firms have a lot of influence in the entertainment industry. If they want to control the balance of all parties, Genichiro Miyagi will probably have to worry a lot.

"You came here not because of Yoshioka Riho's affairs, right?"

Miyagi Genichiro glanced at Nakamura Masahiro and said angrily: "Don't worry, her heroine position will not go wrong, and it will definitely be reserved for her."
