Tokyo life starting with painting

The performance of "Spirited Away" did not disappoint Higashinoji.

It even had a vague meaning that exceeded Higashinoji's expectations.

After watching "Spirited Away", Osawa Akiyoshi even made a special call to Higashino to ask him if he still had any local financial support.

This man's eyes are simply vicious, and he already saw the potential after just watching "Spirited Away" once.

Considering that he and Osawa Akiyoshi still have room for cooperation in the future, Higashinoji did not say a complete rejection. He just said that if there are peripheral posters or comic versions in the future, he will definitely notify Tomishima Publishing House.

Osawa Akiyoshi was naturally very satisfied with Higashinoji's answer.

Tomishima Publishing House does not lack a good work like "Spirited Away", but you still have to ask.

The most important thing is that he also has to confirm whether Toyoshi has the intention to continue to cooperate with them.

This is the most important thing.

fine

"Teacher Higashino is not like other young supervisors who just released a high-quality animated film and became arrogant."

Osawa Aikichi hung up the phone and muttered to himself.

As the president of a publishing house, he has met many talented young people.

But they are all inferior to Higashino Tsukasa, not in terms of talent, but in terms of mentality.

As a young man, Higashinoji's mentality is too stable.

It seems that no matter what achievements he has made, this young man just laughs off them.

This is indeed a remarkable thing.

As a result, sometimes Osawa Aikichi wonders whether Higashinoji is really what some people said, coming from the past to the present, or whether he has an adult soul in his body.

but

"How is this possible?"

Osawa Akiyoshi shook his head in amusement. He felt that he had been working too much recently, which caused him to have some random thoughts.

Can some of the rumors spread casually on the Internet really be taken seriously?

Although Higashino's p station and Higashino's online comics are indeed gradually getting bigger and stronger, this is because Higashino has a good vision and sees the gold content of the Internet cake.

That belongs to his personal ability. What does it have to do with future time travel and past time travel?

Now, it is already good that Tomishima Publishing House can reach a cooperative relationship with Higashinoji.

Maybe I can make good use of this relationship in the future and ask Higashinoji to help me produce a high-quality animated film similar to "Spirited Away".

Osawa Aikichi was thinking in his heart.

Obviously, he feels that the quality of "Spirited Away" is indeed good and it is a high-quality animated film.

But he obviously didn't expect the next performance of this high-quality animated film

"The premiere box office of "Spirited Away" exceeded 306 million yen?"

Listening to this data, even Osawa Akiyoshi's face was filled with astonishment.

He even wanted to ask if the statistics had made a mistake and the opening box office was too exaggerated.

You must know that the total cost of "Spirited Away" was only more than 2 billion yen, and one-seventh of the box office was recovered on the first day of its premiere.

Isn't this too exaggerated?

Even if Higashinoji holds the title of National Cartoon Master, it won't matter.

Not really!

And this is just the data on the opening day.

You must know that after a movie is released, there will be a period of word-of-mouth fermentation.

"What if the box office of "Spirited Away" continues to soar after its reputation grows?"

As soon as he thought of this, Osawa Aikichi reached out and knocked on the table.

"Spirited Away" took off so fast.

Yesterday, he had already given the evaluation of "excellent", but he didn't expect it to be so popular.

If only I could maintain such results every day for the next week.

That's not a high-quality product.

"Spirited Away" may become a classic.

Nowadays, it doesn’t take much thinking for Osawa Aikichi to know that “Spirited Away” will be introduced on the Internet and even on some TV programs that introduce movies.

After all, it earned more than 300 million yen at the box office on its first day of release. It is expected to break the record.

Osawa Aikichi sighed a little.

It surprised me that.

This reminded him again of his initial investment in "Spirited Away".

If Higashinoji had been forced to accept the capital injection,

well!

I regret it a bit.

Osawa Aikichi regretted it a little, but Higashinoji's mood was completely different now.

Looking at the box office of more than 300 million yen on the first day, he also laughed and exhaled.

At least his whole year of preparation was not in vain.

"Spirited Away" is definitely a hit!

If this trend continues, "Spirited Away" in this parallel world will definitely be able to compete with the 30.8 billion yen box office of Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away".

At that time, "Spirited Away" was so popular in Japan that it was said that it was scheduled for more than half a year for an unprecedented time in Japan. Many viewers wanted to see it, so movie theaters kept scheduling the film.

To put it bluntly, "Spirited Away" is a truly national-level animated film.

Higashinoji was thinking like this, and then he heard Yano Ryuichi's excited voice next to him: "Teacher Higashino, with this momentum, maybe we can really compete for the Blue Ribbon Award."

Yano Ryuichi never imagined that he would one day be looking forward to the Blue Ribbon Award.

I didn't even expect that the performance of "Spirited Away" could be so outstanding, it is simply excellent!

According to this momentum, the Blue Ribbon Award will basically fall into the hands of Tono Studio, and it may be possible to look forward to other domestic awards in Japan.

He was still talking about other Japanese film awards on the other side, while Higashinoji shook his head in amusement.

You didn't believe it when I told you, but now you are excited.

Higashinoji didn't set his sights higher on the Oscars. He just nodded slightly, feeling that this time Japan should be able to securely win the No. 1 award.

Currently, Japan's number one cumulative box office is 26.7 billion yen.

And based on the unstoppable momentum of "Spirited Away", it shouldn't be a big problem to win the first place in Japan.

But everything cannot be imagined to be so smooth.

What if something goes wrong then?

I had told Konoe Ryoka before that I wanted to take first place, but it would be really embarrassing if we were even a little bit close.

Therefore, Higashinoji didn't say much and just asked Yano Ryuichi to continue to pay attention to the box office trends of "Spirited Away".

As for publicity?

At this point, Higashikata relaxed a lot.

No matter where you are, once a movie or animation becomes popular, all kinds of media channels will naturally jump out to praise your work.

You don't need to do any publicity at all.

And this is especially true in Japan. After all, it is capitalism.

As long as a movie seems to be popular, critics will naturally jump out to praise it.

Not to mention that the current "Spirited Away" is no longer a sign of popularity, but has become popular half the time.

Of course, many people came out to help.

Even some film producers who did not want to see "Spirited Away" become a hit at the same time as "Spirited Away" took the initiative to express their blessing to Higashino for producing a good work.

This is called public opinion.

Coupled with word of mouth, this has further brought out the popularity of "Spirited Away" today.

But let’s be honest.

Some film production teams that were released at the same time as "Spirited Away" were also confused by the sudden combination of "Spirited Away".

Confused indeed.

We are all busy with the premiere and ready to sit down and see the results.

So you took off alone?

Basically, after a day, there are many topics discussing "Spirited Away".

But from Tonoji's perspective, this is actually nothing.

This is not the most popular period of "Spirited Away".

The previous life of "Spirited Away" was really the childhood of the Japanese generation.

As long as a Japanese basically knows "Spirited Away" - it would be better to say that the Japanese who don't know "Spirited Away" are called a minority.

Higashinoji just sits on the Diaoyutai, waiting for "Spirited Away" to continue to be a hit, while reaching cooperation with other theater chains (some theaters or movie theaters have not reached an agreement, and now the "Spirited Away" stalls are full) , took the initiative to call and talk).

There are even some overseas theaters that are willing to show "Spirited Away".

Of course, Higashinoji was willing to nod to these requests - there was no need to be as cold-blooded as the male protagonist in the novel.

"Spirited Away" was so intense that it kept surpassing the movies of the same period, and even made the production team of the next issue, "Hymn of June", feel the pressure.

Yes.

Feeling the pressure.

Originally, the production team of "Hymn of June" thought that since both parties would not be released on the same schedule, there would be no competition.

But they never thought that the results of "Spirited Away" could be so exaggerated.

The box office on the first day was more than 300 million yen.

Isn't this too exaggerated?

Not more than 2 billion yen can be credited in one week?

The money was paid back in a week.?

The change of mood is like the production team of their "Hymn of June" who were originally sitting in the car and going on a trip together.

As a result, something unexpected happened, and their minibus collided with the big truck "Spirited Away" - the key is that they can't tell yet.

Because Higashinoji has taken care of their production team.

It was specially released two weeks in advance so that they can enjoy the back-to-school season alone.

The result was a sudden bolt from the blue.

The big truck rolled over, and the production team of "Hymn of June" felt like their heads were going to be crushed to pieces.

But even so.

They still have to maintain the high quality of their own works and strive to compete with "Spirited Away"... uh... and not be left too far behind by it.

The production team of "Hymn of June" began to continue discussions.

But before the discussion came to a conclusion, someone suddenly reported: "News just came. The box office of "Spirited Away" exceeded 470 million yen on the second day."

The production team members who were still discussing suddenly became silent.

Everyone was looking at each other.

After a while, someone whispered: "What an exaggeration."

The voice was full of confusion, bewilderment, and doubt.

And these emotions exactly represent the current mood of the production team of "Hymn of June".

Isn't this too exaggerated?

The box office was 300 million yen on the first day. The box office was more than 400 million yen on the second day?

Is this already a record-breaking time?

They were silent, and the atmosphere seemed depressing and scary.

If someone were to walk past the production team of "Hymn of June", they would probably be a little surprised, or even a little scared.

Because it was a working day, the production team here was completely silent and everyone had stiff expressions, like a haunted house.

"Stop thinking about discussing Spirited Away."

The supervisor next to him, Ping Songde, could see this situation and gave the instructions simply.

He also accepted his fate.

"Spirited Away" is really great.

There’s no need to say harsh words like ‘Let’s see who has the last laugh in January’.

Maybe "Spirited Away" will beat all the movies this year.

Everyone may have to live in the shadow of "Spirited Away".

After all, who would have thought that such a monster would suddenly appear at the beginning of the new year?

The production crew of "Hymn of June" all responded in unison.

His expression was a bit happy.

Since Ping Songde can say this, there should be no strict box office requirements for them in the end.

Like beating "Spirited Away" or something

Because the box office of 300 million yen on the first day and 400 million yen on the next day looked too scary.

"Spirited Away" has accumulated a box office of 700 million yen.

It has only been released for two days.

This achievement is really daunting, which has triggered a wave of discussion.

Probably this is the heated discussion surrounding why "Spirited Away" is so popular.

Some people feel that watching "Spirited Away" makes them feel a little more emotional and slightly moved.

Some people think that some of Higashinoji's lines in the movie are very thought-provoking, such as the rules of the world of gods - if you don't work hard, you will turn into a pig.

This is actually implying something.

In the same way, not everyone can meet Bailong when he goes astray, and not all elders can cover you with a quilt like Grandpa Boiler at night, or Ling, who is hard-spoken and soft-hearted, can return to the soup house as soon as he leaves. As a kind-hearted faceless man, many changes in his growth are actually irreversible.

These lines are thought-provoking, and some plots are particularly intriguing.

And this is probably why "Spirited Away" is so popular.

But in addition to these good reviews, there are also some bad reviews.

Some people think that the movie "Spirited Away" is so popular for no reason.

They feel that judging from the subject matter, "Spirited Away" is an animated film by Zi Gongxiang. These things that he wants to express are actually made up by netizens. Higashinoji has never clarified it directly, so it should not count.

But if you really catch these posters asking if "Spirited Away" is good or not.

They'll hesitantly type out things like, 'It's a good movie, but...' and so on.

This is the standard ‘although your work is very good, I just don’t accept it’ type of netizen.

But no matter what.

"Spirited Away" can be found on the Internet and in TV programs.

And all this made Konoe Ryoka a little restless.

Thanks for the reward of fifty-one stones! Thank you so much!

It will probably be finished in the next few days.
