Tokyo Literary Godfather

"Although the law protects you, I will not let you off easily."

"No one taught me that killing someone is bad."

"The news about child abuse is broadcast every day, so everyone thinks that children are being abused by adults. In fact, didn't you all grow up in the hands of your parents? That's why you call your parents by their first names. It’s easy to talk, isn’t it?”

Every line is very powerful and constantly impacts the audience.

More than that... Odagiri Kouzo looked at it and subconsciously opened his mouth. Is this the level of a first-time director?

As the plot progresses, the revenge of the heroine Yuko Moriguchi hits the head of the hero Watanabe like a storm, and the audience is also shocked by this.

It turns out that the real revenge is not to destroy the other party's life, but to destroy the most cherished thing in his heart. Just killing people is not enough, one must kill one's heart.

…

More than an hour later, Mr. Odagiri walked out of the cinema with a slightly incredulous look on his expression.

Is this your first time directing a movie? Although I had heard of Kei Fujiwara's name and knew that he was a talented person, I still didn't expect that this person could perform to such an extent.

Whether it is the story or the rhythm, they are all excellent works. For a movie, the script is like building blocks, the screenwriter is the person who makes the building blocks, and the director is the person responsible for putting them together.

In Odagiri Kozao's original vision, Kei Fujiwara is talented as an author, but he lacks film directing experience after all. So presumably the building blocks will be beautifully made, but the assembled things lack aesthetic feeling.

Unexpectedly, Kei Fujiwara built a very powerful building with building blocks, which is not like a rookie at all. The whole movie reveals a very mature temperament.

How to judge whether a work is from the hands of a mature creator? The main thing is to see if the movie has evolved a personal style.

"Confessions" is a film with an extremely strong style, and it is a film in which the director is greater than the screenwriter. The whole movie is [heavy ink and colorful] in terms of technique, like a long MV, constantly impacting the audience.

The technique is gorgeous, very gorgeous, even suspected of showing off skills. But the problem is that the use of such rich and gorgeous techniques does not affect his normal storytelling, just like a person writing an article, citing classics and reciting poems in every sentence, but the whole article does not make people feel bored at all. This is also an ability.

But such a rich technique did not affect his normal storytelling, and did not increase the difficulty for the audience to understand the movie.

For a creator, such things as personal style are actually not innate. In many cases, they are gradually evolved during the creative career.

Just like Zhou Xingchi, his nonsensical style was not obvious in his early works, and he gradually matured later. In the early stage, his nonsensical style was a bit overwhelming, and later, the style and the plot were harmonious and natural, and he had reached the peak.

However, he was able to do this after accumulating many works.

Fujiwaratani's first directed film can do this, isn't that what talent is?

Mr. Odagiri walked out of the movie theater silently. After he walked out of the movie theater, he subconsciously took a deep look at the poster pasted on the outer wall, staring at the words "Supervisor: Kei Fujiwara" on the poster.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Mr. Odagiri swayed for a while, then wrapped his coat tightly, and hurried home. Although there were still many gods standing by the roadside, he didn't have much thought to provoke them.

Filming an independent film is not an easy task, and what supports him on this path is nothing more than a little belief, including the belief that he has film talent.

However, at this moment, the belief has been shaken...

…

The box office revenue of the first day of "Confession" was calculated, 120 million on the first day, and 100 million on the second day. It can be called a good news.

"More than 100 million taels a day, 30 days a month, wouldn't it be possible to get a box office of more than 3 billion?" Youma Jianzhai said happily.

During the crew dinner, after everyone talked about the first-day box office, Sai Arima said happily.

Although the movie has been finalized and officially released, the publicity cannot be stopped. The crew often travels all over Japan. Although Tokyo is the largest ticket warehouse, it cannot be limited to Tokyo alone. Kansai, Kyushu, Hokkaido and other places must also be taken care of.

Now the main creative and starring team have arrived in Osaka. As a metropolis in the Kansai region, this place is also particularly important. The theater resources of Matsunichi Pictures are not as good as those of major film and television companies such as Dongzhen in Tokyo, but the opposite is true in the Kansai region. Therefore, the box office performance of "Confession" here is not inferior to that in Tokyo.

After a road show at a university, a group of people went to a charcoal barbecue restaurant on the recommendation of teachers and students from the university, where they ate and chatted.

After the first-day box office revenue was calculated, the cast members of "Confession" were not completely relieved. After hearing Arimama Sai's proud words, he just smiled and didn't agree much.

After all, the early publicity of this film was very strong, and Kei Fujiwara's early strategy of splitting the cake was correct. As film shareholders, Fukuyama TV, Chunqiusha and NHK all made great efforts to promote it on their own media channels.

Coupled with the influence of Kei Fujiwara and Guixiang Arima, as well as the derivative effects brought about by the relationship between the two... This movie attracted a lot of attention from the beginning.

But just having good early results is useless. "White Night Journey" is a lesson learned from the past. Its box office performance in the past few days can be said to be excellent. However, as time goes by, it gradually deteriorates and even gets withdrawn early. As the film supervisor, Hideki Nakadai also Lost face.

Arima Sai sat next to Kei Fujiwara, roasting meat for him like a puppy, "Teacher Fujiwara, I read the film critics' articles, and many people praised my outstanding acting skills... Look Can I be the main protagonist in the next film?"

Fujiwara Kei smiled and picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth: "Aren't you the main character in this movie?"

"Where is it? It's obvious that my sister is..."

"Okay, I will consider it carefully."

Arima Sai grinned. He now felt that he had officially embarked on the path to becoming an actor.

Fujiwara Kei smiled and did not leave him anymore. He read the entertainment section of a newspaper with the faint light of the barbecue restaurant.

The box office of that Hollywood movie has stabilized. It was released for half a month and achieved around 500 million, which is not great. After "Confession" was released, its box office was further reduced, but the other party was unable to have any impact on "Confession".

Therefore, Kei Fujiwara does not particularly care about this "American blockbuster". On the contrary, the several Japanese films released at the same time have little potential and will not have a big impact on "Confession".

The only film that can have an impact is a theatrical version of an animated film, but that will not be released until sixteen days later, and the film's main development period has already passed.

Kei Fujiwara casually picked up a pencil used to order on the menu and gently wrote a number on the newspaper - this was his box office estimate for the movie.

On the opposite side, Ohno Nagaharu looked at what Kei Fujiwara wrote in the newspaper, and subconsciously stretched his neck to take a look. He only saw a series of numbers, and he immediately understood what he meant.

However, after counting the digits, I couldn't help but be a little surprised: Is this guy Fujiwara so confident?

5 billion.

Sorry, there are too many things going on recently, so the update is unstable, so I will update it temporarily. When I am not busy, I will update 4000+, and when I am busy, I will update 2000+
