Tokyo Literary Godfather

Kei Fujiwara, on the other hand, seemed much calmer. He neither expressed excessive surprise nor felt any pressure regarding the high predictions made by "Japanese Filmmaker" magazine.

Even from his heart, 10 billion is not a high box office result, so he can barely squeeze into the top ten box office history.

If Kei Fujiwara's voice could be heard, it is estimated that most filmmakers would vomit blood.

How dare you, an idiot, associate the words "also" with "the top ten in history"? ! ah? you answer me!

In fact, it is not completely unreasonable for Kei Fujiwara to think so. His prediction and estimation of the box office are based on the omniscient perspective of a future person.

In his perspective and memory, the classic movie "My Sassy Girl" was released in South Korea in 2001, which is close to the present time. That year, the box office hit more than 900 won (equivalent to more than 500 million yuan), and the number of moviegoers reached 13 million.

And South Korea has a total population of just over 50 million, which means about a quarter of the people have watched this movie.

Japan's population is nearly 130 million. Based on this ratio, the number of viewers of this movie in Japan may reach 30 million. The adult movie ticket price in Japan is 1,800 yen. Multiplied by this, wouldn't the final box office result of "My Sassy Girl" reach an astonishing more than 50 billion? As for this achievement, no one in Japan may be able to break it in the next hundred years.

This result can last until the subjugation of Japan.

Compared with the 50 billion box office predicted by Fujiwara Kei, what does the 10 billion box office prediction mean?

But after all, this is just Fujiwara Kei's obscenity, and it is still a joke. This calculation method is like nonsense...

Not to mention South Korea's small population, the smaller the population base, the faster popular culture spreads, so the number of movie viewers will account for a relatively higher proportion of the total population. Moreover, among the more than 10 million moviegoers, many foreign viewers were also included in the calculation.

Let’s talk about the ticket price. The adult ticket price in Japan is indeed 1,800 yen, which is very expensive, equivalent to more than 100 yuan, but the student ticket is only 1,000 yen, and students are the main force in movie consumption. After all, movie theaters have always been essential. Few dating places.

So looking at it this way, it is extremely precious to have a box office of more than 10 billion. Although Kei Fujiwara hopes to go higher and reach 15 billion, it depends on fate whether he can break the limit by then.

On the fifteenth day after the release of "My Sassy Girl", word-of-mouth continued to grow, and the box office finally reached 5.5 billion. More than 10 billion KPIs, half completed. Half of the time has passed.

Tanaka Seharu arrived at the cinema, partying at the ticket window while reaching into her backpack and rummaging nervously.

"Where...it's missing..." As the ticket sales queue gradually shortened, Tanaka Shiharu also became nervous, and her friends began to help her look for it.

"Have you looked for it in the compartment of your bag? Is it in your jacket pocket?"

"Did you lose it when you just bought snacks?"

"Shiqing, you are so careless, you can even lose your student ID card."

"If you don't have a student ID, it will cost you 800 yen more to buy a ticket... and you can go eat ramen."

Tanaka Seharu took out everything in her bag, including lipstick, makeup mirror, and even tampons, and stuffed them into her friend's hand. She made her friend blush, for fear of being seen by others, but Tanaka Seharu had an outgoing personality and couldn't care about that much. After searching for a long time in an empty bag, she still found nothing.

Seeing that they were about to be queued up, Tanaka Shiqing squeezed her eyes and thought about it carefully. Then she suddenly remembered something. She drooped her head and said, "I remembered it. When I was buying bread at the pastry shop yesterday, the clerk said You can use your student ID to get a discount, so I took it out and put it on the counter, but forgot to take it back after I paid the bill!"

The friend next to him sighed: "Tanaka, you are such a big idiot!"

Tanaka Shiharu also looked a little frustrated. After thinking about it, he said, "I have already watched this movie anyway. Why don't you go watch it yourself? I'll wait for you at the nearby small steel ball shop?"

With a "bang", a girl who was only 1.4 meters tall next to her hit Tanaka Shiharu with an uppercut in the stomach: "Idiot! Don't say such disappointing things! Isn't it just 800 yen? Just treat it as less food. A beef donburi is the price for your carelessness!"

"Yes, besides, don't you want to write another article? Why don't you read it again and see what you have written?" another friend said.

Hearing this, Tanaka Shiqing couldn't help but sigh and said: "I know, I know, I'll just go in..."

The group of them came to see "My Sassy Girl". Tanaka Shiharu had already watched the movie at the premiere. At that time, she was a member of the Film Research Society of Sun Yat-sen University with her seniors. came to watch.

At that time, she was not particularly optimistic about this fresh romance film, but after watching it, she shed tears of futility. Not the kind of tears that are stimulated by sad plot, but the kind of touching tears that flow out after being moved by a sincere and touching story and then seeing the happy ending of the story.

After watching that movie, Tanaka Shiharu's mood improved, showing a state of great spiritual satisfaction. She knew that this was a natural expression after watching a good movie. As a film critic, Shiqing Tanaka was used to watching bad movies. Occasionally seeing a good movie was like finding ice cola in the desert.

After returning home, she also wrote an article praising the movie. Although she also found some "disadvantages" in her opinion, she still gave the movie a high score. She gave the movie a 7.5 out of 10. , is a film worth seeing.

Then, she published the article in the school magazine and the official publication "Japanese Filmmaker" she signed.

Later, the movie was so popular that even the magazine "Japanese Filmmaker" praised the movie for some unknown purpose, and the boss behind the movie, the screenwriter Kei Fujiwara, and the editor-in-charge of Yoshiharu Tanaka Asked her to write another article that analyzed the movie in depth and promised to expand her coverage.

Tanaka Shiharu agreed, and planned to watch the movie again, so that he could dig out more details and write interesting articles to attract the audience.

Reluctantly spent an extra 800 yen to buy tickets. After collecting the money, the conductor asked them the name of the movie they wanted to see, and then quickly agreed to give out a few movie tickets. When Shiqing Tanaka reached out to pick it up, the other party printed it out He put his movie tickets aside, then took out a few tickets from the drawer and handed them to several people.

Tanaka Seharu was stunned for a moment, then took the movie ticket, only to find that the face of the ticket seemed a little strange. It didn't look like the uniform format of the movie tickets he was familiar with. It looked like he had printed it out himself, and even the seat numbers were handwritten.

Tanaka Shiqing looked at the ticket, still in a daze, and other friends around him took the ticket first, and then dragged her to check the ticket:

"Oh, the movie is about to start, why are you in a daze! Let's go!"
