Japanese big things

From Kenrokuen Garden in Kanazawa to Chaya Street, Myoryuji Temple and Kanazawa 21st Century Museum of Art, to Naya Temple in Kaga area, Kaga Million Stone Age Village and Automobile Museum.

Afterwards, the crew went north to Hakusan and Lao Falls, and finally arrived at the Wajima Lacquer Museum, Noto Kongo and Notoshima Bridge on the Noto Peninsula.

After going around in a big circle, after shooting one scenic spot, we rushed to the next place. It took more than a week for the crew to successfully complete the shooting.

While Nakamura Masahiro was busy promoting the shooting of commercials, the movie "Model Student" had already entered the countdown to release, and the number of theaters and screens showing it had begun to be significantly reduced.

According to the latest box office statistics, the movie "Model Student" has been in theaters for its twelfth week, and the number of moviegoers exceeded 7 million. The box office revenue successfully crossed the 10 billion threshold, reaching 10.4 billion yen.

So far, the movie "Model Student" has not only basically secured the top spot in the annual box office rankings, but has also successfully entered the top 50 box office rankings in film history.

It narrowly beat out the 10.1 billion "芊る大朜朜线" and the 10.32 billion "Lord of the Rings", ranking 24th in film history.

There is a small gap between the 23rd place "Independence Day" with a box office of 10.65 billion, and not far from the Disney movie "Toy Story 3" with a box office of 10.8 billion.

According to the current box office decline of "Model Student", it is not very difficult to surpass the previous two movies.

If it had a little more power, "Model Student" might be able to continue to challenge the two popular IP movies "The Matrix" and "Harry Potter".

In comparison, the box office of the movie "Roman Baths", which was originally a rival in the schedule, has dropped to millions of yen, and the number of theaters and screens showing it has been cut by more than half.

Although the box office revenue of 5.36 billion yen is enough to rank among the top 10 of the year, compared with "Model Student" which has a box office of over 10 billion, the creative team of "Roman Baths" is not happy at all.

When starring Abe Hiroshi participated in a variety show, he couldn't help complaining about it: "Don't say that "Roman Baths" and "Model Student" are rivals. Just look at the box office gap and you will know. They can't compete at all. .”

In the current box office market, the most popular movies are the just-released "Umimon" and the topical movie "Wolf" about Sawajiri Hideryuka.

As for the previous popular movies "Men in Black 3" and "Snow White and the Huntsman", they have fallen to the bottom of the box office rankings.

Judging from the box office trend curve, the two movies are as smooth as riding on a slide, and are about to slide off the list.

The recent films that are building publicity are the upcoming Hollywood blockbuster "The Dark Knight Rises" and the animated film "Wolf Children Rain and Snow".

The former is the final chapter of the Batman trilogy directed by the well-known Hollywood director Christopher Nolan. The combination of famous director + superstar is already eye-catching, and the original DC comic "Batman" also has its own popularity, creating a huge momentum It's amazing.

The latter was directed and supervised by Mamoru Hosoda, who was once widely regarded as Hayao Miyazaki's successor. Unfortunately, the style he pursued did not match Studio Ghibli's consistent finesse and accuracy, and he was eventually replaced ruthlessly.

However, gold always shines. After experiencing the failure of Studio Ghibli, Mamoru Hosoda quickly rose to prominence with "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time" and "Summer Wars".

At present, in the field of animated films, Mamoru Hosoda has a very high box office appeal. If Hayao Miyazaki is the first person, he can currently be ranked second.

Well, if you wait until Makoto Shinkai rises, Mamoru Hosoda's ranking may drop another place.

Compared with the market environment when "Model Student" was released, the current box office market is a little cold, and theater attendance and moviegoers have declined to varying degrees.

There is no way, as the London Olympics is approaching, the popularity of the Olympics has suddenly increased, and many people's attention has shifted to reports related to the Olympics.

Even though the London Olympics has not started yet, various reports and news related to it are emerging one after another, and many people choose to stay at home and watch on the TV.

"Nakamura-san, Toho Corporation and Warner Bros. are planning to hold a celebration banquet..."

While Nakamura Masahiro was busy in the editing room, Oshiro Shoji's voice suddenly broke in, and then his figure appeared at the door.

"When do you have time to go back to Tokyo?"

"Celebration party?"

Subconsciously he raised his head and glanced at Oshiro Shoji, and Nakamura Masahiro asked slightly confused: "Isn't the movie not released yet, so there is a celebration party so soon?"

Generally speaking, if a movie is a hit, the studio will hold a celebration party, but the event is usually held after the movie is finished.

"They said that the follow-up box office of "Model Student" will not be much, so they might as well do it now..."

Looking at Nakamura Masahiro's thoughtful expression, Oshiro Shoji further explained: "If we do it now, it will be a big hot spot and it can continue to attract some viewers."

"If we really wait until after the movie is finished, we will definitely be buried in all the reports about the Olympics."

"It seems so..."

Masahiro Nakamura pondered for a moment and had to agree with it. No matter how popular a movie is, when it comes to a major sporting event like the Olympics, the heat will automatically cool down.

"When do they plan to do it?"

"The specific time has not yet been determined, but it is estimated to be next week..."

"Next week, if the advertising can be successfully completed, then we can return to Tokyo then."

After some calculation in his mind, Nakamura Masahiro quickly made a decision. He told Ojo Shoji: "Shoji, please confirm with them..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "No problem..."

Shoji Oshiro agreed wholeheartedly, turned around and was about to leave, but seemed to remember something? He quickly stopped and looked back at Masahiro Nakamura.

"By the way, Nakamura-san and Akimoto-san also called..."

"What's going on with him? It's not about Nogizaka46, right?"

After hearing the news that it was Yasushi Akimoto, Nakamura Masahiro couldn't help but curled his lips: If there were no special circumstances, that greasy man Yasushi Akimoto would not have contacted him.

"It's not Nogizaka46, it seems to be something related to the preparatory committee..."

Shoji Oshiro looked like he was thinking, and while he was trying to think back, he said: "He said that because the movie "Model Student" was a huge success at the box office, the preparatory committee had no objections and unanimously agreed to the invitation.

You join."

"Preparatory committee?"

After thinking for a moment, Masahiro Nakamura suddenly remembered the matter about the preparatory committee, so he replied: "I understand."

"Probably next month, the preparatory committee will hold a meeting. Akimoto-san said he will contact you then."

"Okay, I get it."

Nakamura Masahiro responded casually, and then watched Ojo Shoji's figure disappear around the corner of the corridor.

For Nakamura Masahiro, he does not attach too much importance to the title of the preparatory committee, but having a convenient identity is a quite good choice.

It is like a very popular committee member in the business circles on the other side. Although it sounds good in name only, the various additional conveniences make many capitalists flock to it.

In addition, through this relationship, Nakamura Masahiro can also have a deeper understanding of some of the Japanese government's cultural strategies.

To put it bluntly, with the official background of Dongfeng, as long as you follow the trend and develop, it will be easy to achieve success.

He continued to work on the editing work. After the staff responsible for special effects came back, Nakamura Masahiro explained the standards and requirements to the other party and then handed over the work.

"I have told you my requirements and standards. You should understand, right? If you feel something is inaccurate, please contact me in time..."

Before leaving, Nakamura Masahiro did not forget to warn him again to avoid negligence and mistakes.

Although there are not many special effects in promotional advertisements, Masahiro Nakamura is responsible for the aesthetic and style standards. If the effects produced by the staff are inconsistent, it will be troublesome.

"Director Nakamura, I understand..."

Seeing Nakamura Masahiro's solemn expression, the other party did not dare to neglect him and nodded solemnly, like a warrior about to go to the battlefield.

"That's it, I'm leaving first..."

After that, Nakamura Masahiro simply cleaned up, left the editing room, and then appeared in the director's office.

"Are you done?"

Seeing the figure of Nakamura Masahiro appearing, Nakamura Tomimasa asked casually while continuing to deal with the matter at hand.

"We still need the special effects later..."

Shaking his head, Nakamura Masahiro sat on the sofa beside him, slumping down as if a heavy burden had been lifted, exuding a lazy smell.

"If everything goes well, it should be done in the next two days."

"When you're done, are you going back to Tokyo?"

After hearing Nakamura Masahiro's words, Nakamura Tomimasa raised his head and glanced at Nakamura Masahiro. After pondering for a moment, he asked in a rather determined tone: "Should the TV series matter be postponed later..."

"Yeah, it's useless even if I stay in Kanazawa, the script for the TV series hasn't been written yet..."

Nakamura Masahiro curled his lips and replied a little absent-mindedly: "Let's postpone the TV series until later."

After thinking about it, he added: "Even if the TV series is filmed now, it is impossible to broadcast it right now..."

Cultural promotion requires a step-by-step approach, and it is impossible to achieve miracles with great force right from the start. Even if Nakamura Masahiro has now filmed a TV series, he still needs to cooperate accordingly.

"That's what you said..."

Nakamura Tomimasa was silent for a long time, and he couldn't help but agree with Nakamura Masahiro's words. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Anyway, you should do it as soon as possible... I don't want to be asked by them all the time."

Nakamura Tomimasa couldn't help with the filming work. All he could do was remind Nakamura Masahiro not to let the Cultural Promotion Fund press.

The work efficiency in the Japanese workplace is usually not very efficient, but Nakamura Masahiro's procrastination and cooperation made Nakamura Tomashi feel like a veteran in the workplace.

"I see...."

Grinning, Nakamura Masahiro responded with some helplessness. Those people couldn't find him, and Nakamura Tomimasa was quite good at trouble.
