Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 34: Hot! "That Summer, the Quiet Sea" is coming soon

"Big surprise! High school detective Shinichi Kudo and his childhood sweetheart make their first romantic film together!" - Nichimi Shimbun

"Big news! 'Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei Era' moves to the entertainment industry, where will the Metropolitan Police Department go?" - Mainichi Shimbun

"Big shock! A three-no movie challenges the popular "Blue Kingdom"? Super dark horse director VS the best new screenwriter!" - "Movie Junpo"

"Big surprise! Kudo Yukiko's son makes his screen debut, may he return as a legend?" - Fuji TV

"Big Bang! Why did the young detective go into the film industry?" - "Tokyo Hot Magazine·Uncensored Edition"

"..."

Japanese media, especially newspapers, have always liked headlines with the word "big", which are full of a strong sense of middle school.

The content is also varied, basically revolving around Kudo Shinichi, introducing that he has filmed a love movie that is about to be released.

——Except for some eye-catching headlines.

The much-anticipated handsome detective suddenly made a movie, which is definitely a topic that can cause a huge sensation.

The name of the supervisor, Takeshi Ono, was not even mentioned.

There is no doubt that all the attention is focused on Kudo Shinichi.

The identities of a supernova detective and a well-known second-generation star, and the gimmick of a debut work were so attractive that the media were instantly excited!
Takeshi Onino didn't care about this. Taking advantage of Kudo Shinichi's popularity was one of his purposes in making him the male lead.

But he didn't expect the popularity to explode so quickly and so widely!
Or maybe the person behind the scenes is really powerful.

After just one morning, the news spread like a whirlwind, attracting the attention and discussion of the entire Neon.

After a day of fermentation, the popularity has exploded, catching up with the upcoming hit youth film "Blue Kingdom"!
Kudo Shinichi + Suzuki Group, the effect is like a depth bomb.

The main reason is that Kudo Shinichi is indeed a very popular guy.

Perhaps it was because Suzuki Sonoko instructed to protect Mouri Ran's privacy. Although the popularity was rising, it was mainly focused on Kudo Shinichi, and there were not many reports on Mouri Ran.

This made Mao Lilan, who had been staying in the office for the entire morning and didn't dare to go out, breathe a sigh of relief.

In contrast to her, Kudo Shinichi's home phone was almost blown up by calls, most of which were from the media for interviews.

It annoyed him greatly.

Kudo Shinichi really didn't expect that Onino Takeshi would be able to come up with such a plan to promote the movie.

But I immediately realized that the other party must have contacted Suzuki Sonoko.

Only a chaebol like the Suzuki Group could create such momentum in a short period of time.

"This guy……"

Kudo Shinichi certainly likes to be in the spotlight, but this level of popularity exceeds any of his previous case solving. One can only say that the entertainment industry is truly a heat-generating machine, and it really makes him a little overwhelmed.

While he gritted his teeth and complained about Gui Yewu, he also admired the other party's unconventional approach, which he had not expected.

With such strong publicity, the release of "That Summer, the Quiet Sea" is a foregone conclusion, but it is not known how much box office it will earn in the end.

Can the salted fish turn things around?

Kudo Shinichi felt a hint of anticipation in his heart.

……

Metropolitan Police Department.

"What? Brother Kudo is going to make a movie?!"

Looking at the news in the newspaper, an unnamed brother was worried.

"Kudou-kun, you're not really going to switch careers and make movies, are you? Then what should we do?
Do I have to solve the case by myself? I'm not used to it..."

……

The Watanuki Group.

Watanuki Tatsuzo, who had been busy confronting the Busujima Group, finally got a day off and read today's newspaper, and saw news related to Onino Takeshi.

I couldn't help but feel surprised.

That guy Onino Takeshi actually made a movie?
And it made such a fuss?

It seems to be a bit inconsistent with the image of waste in my mind...

However, Tatsuzo Watanuki still doesn't believe that Takeshi Onino's movie can achieve anything.

Once he fails, it will be natural to recruit the Onino Group.

"But just in case, should we do something?" Although the cunning Watanuki Tatsuzo looked down on Onino Takeshi, the situation in front of him was really shocking. He suddenly felt a little worried and started to think secretly.

However, before he could make a decision, a confidant ran in in a panic:

"Boss, the Dudao Group has raided several of our locations again, injuring many of our brothers!"

Upon hearing this, Watanuki Tatsuzo slammed the table and stood up: "Damn you stinky woman!"

As he spoke, he was about to gather people to deal with the aggressive Busujima Group, and had no time to target Onino Takeshi.

……

Onino Takeshi didn't know that he had inadvertently escaped a disaster. At that time, he was discussing the release of the movie with Kenichi Kikuchi, the director of Toei's distribution department.

"Director Onino, I have to say that it was a wise move for you to invite Kudo Shinichi to be the leading actor."

Kikuchi Kenichi put down the newspaper with a smile.

He is quite satisfied with the current popularity of the movie "That Summer, the Quiet Sea".

Although most of the popularity was brought by Kudo Shinichi.

But in any case, this kind of popularity has already made a good start for the movie's release.

Kenichi Kikuchi looked at Takeshi Onino and was very kind to him.

Originally, with Onino Takeshi's status, such a small-scale production with no reputation would not require the involvement of a minister, but who could blame him for getting the attention of the Suzuki Group?

Compared to the Suzuki Group, even Toei is just a small company, not to mention him being a mere minister.

Therefore, in order to curry favor... and to show his importance, Kenichi Kikuchi personally took charge of the release of this film.

Naturally, he did not dare to look down on Takeshi Ono, who was related to the Suzuki Group.

Even during the cooperation negotiations between the two parties, many concessions within their authority were made.

Guino Takeshi could naturally feel Kikuchi Kenichi's attitude, and he couldn't help but sigh again in his heart at the power of capital, but he did not get carried away.

Takeshi Ono knew very well that he had no substantial relationship with the Suzuki Group and was only able to do so thanks to Ran Mouri.

What is there to be proud of?

Blacksmith need its own hardware!
And this movie is the first step!
So I quickly said a few humble words.

As each side had their own purposes, the communication was quite pleasant and there was no haggling.

"The popularity is still rising and has not yet reached its peak. I think it would be more appropriate to release it in a week."

Kenichi Kikuchi analyzed.

At the same time, he was secretly amazed at the generosity of the Suzuki Group, which easily made a third-no movie into a hit.

This made him pay more attention to Gui Yewu.

Regarding Kikuchi Kenichi's suggestion, Onino Takeshi nodded in agreement: "I have no objection."

Let the bullets fly for a while, he understands!

Besides, he is a professional, so he will not make random comments.

So the release date of "That Summer, the Quiet Sea" was set, a week later on August 8th.

Officially released!

"Happy cooperation!"

Kenichi Kikuchi extended his hand to Takeshi Onino.

"Happy cooperation!"

Onino Takeshi's big hand covered Kikuchi Kenichi's palm.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

But Kenichi Kikuchi's smile soon became stiff.

Looking at that face, which exuded a majesty and oppression that made one's scalp tingle even when he was smiling, Kikuchi Kenichi's heart couldn't help but skip a beat and his legs went a little weak.

I tried hard not to show any abnormality.

"How scary... This man really can't be offended..."
