Chapter 378 Onino Takeshi vs. Miyazaki Hayao! Kiki's Delivery Service is released

7 month 1 day.

Students across the country have welcomed the long-awaited summer vacation.

(Student: Hey, that’s weird. Why do we feel like we’ve done summer homework more than once this year?)

Given the style of "Kiki's Delivery Service", it would be perfect to release it during the summer vacation.

Just as Gui Yewu finished post-production in April, it was already July...

As a popular time of the year, the summer season is naturally packed with movies.

All major film and television companies have movies released.

Although everyone knows that the champion of the summer season is actually no longer a foregone conclusion.

If Gui Yewu takes action, is it possible that he will fail?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Although many people are looking forward to that day, reason tells them that the probability of Gui Yewu's Waterloo is too low.

What's worse is that they have to face the terrible situation of competing with the big devil at the same time!
No one has this confidence. Even a director who is confident in his own movie dare not say that he can compete with Takeshi Ono in the summer season.

After some hesitation, some company executives chose to withdraw or delay the release of their films.

If you can't afford to offend me, can you still afford to hide?
The others who really have no way out can only go ahead and hope to get some of the soup.

As an audience, watching Takeshi Onino's movies is a pleasure for them, but for his peers, the experience is not so wonderful.

But there are exceptions.

There is one movie that doesn't have any worries about that.

this movie,

It's called,

"My Neighbor Totoro"

That’s right, the director is Hayao Miyazaki!

The producer is also Onino Eiga.

In addition to being produced by the same company, the reason why Hayao Miyazaki and Onino Film are not worried and choose to "compete head-on" with Onino Takeshi is entirely because "My Neighbor Totoro" is an animated film.

"Kiki's Delivery Service" is a live-action movie.

The two are completely different types and there is not much competition between them.

There is no either-or situation at the box office.

Of course, also because of the audience issue, the most suitable release period for "My Neighbor Totoro" is also the summer vacation.

So, an interesting situation emerged -

Onino Takeshi VS Hayao Miyazaki!
"Kiki's Delivery Service" VS "My Neighbor Totoro"

Gui Yewu didn't take this situation of family members fighting in a competition too seriously.

Although the styles are similar, they are not of the same genre, and viewers can choose to watch both.

I feel sympathy for other movies.

Takeshi Onino has already seen it. This "My Neighbor Totoro" is not much different from the previous one, so there is no need to say much about the quality.

There aren’t any strong films released during the summer, and facing the combination of Onino Takeshi and Miyazaki Hayao, they will probably just become cannon fodder.

This is the fight between gods, and the mortals suffer.

At the same time, Takeshi Onino also found it very interesting. Strictly speaking, both movies are works by Hayao Miyazaki.

However, he filmed "Kiki's Delivery Service" seriously, so he doesn't feel any guilt.

But he found the current situation quite interesting.

But the impact is not that big. Takeshi Onino is actually looking forward to seeing which one will be more popular, his "Kiki's Delivery Service" or Hayao Miyazaki's "My Neighbor Totoro".

When he first proposed to release two films at the same time, there were some objections, including Miyazaki himself who had little confidence. But Onino Takeshi still made the decision against all odds, and this may have been one of the reasons.

So on the same day, July 7st, the two movies were released at the same time.

……

Ghost Theater.

As the leading cinema of the Guiye Cinema Chain, it was built into a large-scale multifunctional cinema in accordance with Guiye Wu's requirements.

In terms of scale, number of theaters and decoration, it is among the best in Tokyo.

The premieres of "Kiki's Delivery Service" and "My Neighbor Totoro" were both held here.

However, by staggering the screening times and theaters, there is no risk of conflict.

The premiere was as lively as ever.

Reporters and fans almost surrounded the entire theater, and because it was located in a downtown area, the roads outside had already been blocked.

Fortunately, Onino Takeshi was well prepared. At this moment, a group of traffic police led by Miyamoto Yumi were directing traffic with sweat on their foreheads.

The moment Takeshi Onino and the crew members appeared, there was a sudden wave of cheers at the scene.

Everyone's eyes were fixed, and the flashes of light were flashing in unison.

Fortunately, Gui Yewu had the foresight to remind everyone to wear sunglasses.

However, the person who attracted the most attention this time was not Takeshi Ono, but Koizumi Akako who was walking side by side with him.

Today the girl deliberately wore a crimson long dress, exposing her snow-white skin and delicate collarbone to the air.

The already extremely beautiful face, paired with elegant makeup and a carefully designed hairstyle, the whole person instantly exudes amazing charm!
Mysterious, elegant, noble, beautiful, fresh and refined!
It seems that all the beautiful words can be applied to this girl.

Almost no one at the scene could resist this charm and they were all intoxicated by it.

"I heard that Miss Hongzi played a witch? But I seemed to see a real witch!" "Yes, yes, beautiful, noble and full of mystery! Miss Hongzi is exactly what I imagined a witch to be!"

"As expected of Director Onino, he's really good at choosing characters!"

Everyone sighed and praised Koizumi Akako.

Before the movie was released, Koizumi Akako had already won over countless die-hard fans.

Kuroba Kaito, who was walking on the other side, curled his lips, what a bunch of superficial guys.

After the hijacking incident that day, Kuroba Kaito reconnected with Onino Takeshi and the others.

According to him, he was suddenly attacked by a sniper before. Fortunately, the single-sided lens worn on his right eye was bulletproof, so he was lucky enough to survive.

Fearing that the other party would snipe again, he pretended to be dead and fell into the river to hide.

Finally a near miss.

When he heard that the other party had sniped Kuroba Kaito's right eye, Onino Takeshi immediately showed a thoughtful expression.

Koizumi Hongzi asked with concern: "Do you know who did it?"

There was a cold light flashing in Kuroba Kaito's eyes: "He has accurate shooting skills and is used to shooting at the target's right eye. According to my subsequent investigation, only one person meets the requirements-"

"A famous killer in the killer world!"

"Scooping!"

"I won't let this go so easily!"

Although Kuroba Kaito said so, there was no clue about Shikaobing for the time being, so he could only suppress his resentment in his heart.

However, Gui Yewu knew that the other party would appear again soon.

Closer to home.

Compared to the fame of Onino Takeshi and Koizumi Akako, the crew of "My Neighbor Totoro" was much more low-key and just followed quietly behind.

The little-known new director Hayao Miyazaki did not attract much attention.

Only Gui Yewu understood how dazzling this man would become after today!
……

The first to be held was the premiere of "Kiki's Delivery Service".

After the interview, Takeshi Ono walked into the screening room.

At this time, the interior has been decorated and filled with various elements from movies.

After greeting specially invited acquaintances such as the Mori family, Suzuki Sonoko, Dr. Agasa, the three little ones, Akiba Reiko, and Director Ochiai, he brought the crew to the stage for some interaction.

After the interaction, Takeshi Ono returned to sit next to Shinna Kaori, and the lights dimmed.

The movie officially begins.

The first thing that appears is the Onino Film Opening that the audience is already very familiar with.

Then the screen darkened and then brightened again, and what appeared before the audience was a lush forest.

The sky is blue and the clouds are white, the grass is green, the butterflies are flying, the birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and the animals are drinking water quietly by the river. It is full of a sense of harmony that is unique to nature.

Takeshi Ono deliberately used these shots to depict a fairy-tale scene for the audience at the beginning.

This is also the tone of this movie.

"What a beauty……"

Mao Lilan couldn't help but sigh and said something.

Suzuki Sonoko nodded repeatedly. People who have lived in a steel city for a long time always yearn for the unrestrained mountains and forests. This is also the reason why their family has villas in many deep mountains and forests.

Nothing else, just for convenience!
The beautiful scenery at the beginning and the atmosphere created immediately caught the audience's attention.

As night fell, the scene changed and an ancient castle appeared in the camera.

The exterior walls are a light blue-green in color, and are covered with ivy and vines. The mottled traces are full of a heavy sense of history.

The shots here were deliberately inspired by the Hogwarts Castle in "Harry Potter". Combined with the dim light and the mountains, forests and lakes in the distance, it creates a mysterious and spectacular feeling.

The audience understood at a glance that this must be the witch's home.

The camera zoomed into the castle, and the heroine Kiki appeared in the screen wearing a dark blue witch dress with a big red bow tied behind her head, smiling sweetly.

The moment Koizumi Akako appeared, there was an uproar in the screening room.

So beautiful!
After being rendered by the lens, Koizumi Akako seems to have become even more beautiful.

Coupled with her mysterious temperament and the innocent smile on her face, everyone was immediately intoxicated by her.

Even Reiko Akiba, who has always been very confident about her appearance, couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when she saw the girl on the screen.

It can be said that the movie is half successful just based on Koizumi Akako’s appearance!
The remaining half, of course, comes from the fairy-tale-like plot and Takeshi Onino's increasingly sophisticated directing skills.

Today, he is no longer the Wuxia A'mon who couldn't even make a short film. The title of famous director is well-deserved!
Kurosawa Akira, who came here specially, looked at the mature camera language in the movie and nodded secretly.

I was right about him. Although Gui Yewu is young, it is not accidental that he has achieved his current success. His abilities are worthy of his fame.

The future of Japanese films should be entrusted to such outstanding young people.

The movie continues.

At this time, Kiki, who had just appeared, was still a carefree little girl. She used magic to play and laugh with her friends every day. Her silvery bell-like laughter made the audience smile comfortably as well.

boom!
Kiki and her fellow witches fly freely on their brooms.

One of them suddenly swung the stick in his hand and smashed a fist-sized iron ball at Qiqi.

The audience's eyes widened immediately.
