Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 88: Akiko Kinoshita becomes popular, and the box office of "The Grudge" is booming

With the intervention of the Suzuki Group, the negative public opinion against Takeshi Onino and "The Grudge" was brought under control.

On the contrary, for "The Grudge", this may be an unexpectedly good thing - although it is a bit unfair to the deceased to say this, but he is the only one who committed the crime, so he deserves it!

After the police issued a warning notice, the wave of condemnations, whether real or fake, died down.

The topic turned to discussing the movie "The Grudge".

Although Hideji Tsukawa was not really scared to death by "The Grudge", it did not prevent many people who had never heard of "The Grudge" before from becoming interested in this "scary" horror movie.

Even many people who didn't know the truth were attracted to the film. Everyone was curious about how scary this truly terrifying horror movie could be.

There has suddenly been an increase in the number of people discussing "The Grudge".

Thanks to Hideji Tsukawa, the news that was originally limited to the entertainment section directly spread to the social section, and the topic of "The Grudge" was completely ignited!

Toei and Onino Eiga naturally would not miss such a good gimmick and immediately increased their publicity efforts.

Of course, reminders have also been added to discourage patients with heart disease, high blood pressure and other diseases from watching.

The sudden change in the situation caught Muranishi Toru and others off guard. They were still worried about the tide of negative public opinion in the previous second, but the wind direction reversed in the next moment, triggering the topic of "The Grudge".

From beginning to end, Gui Ye Wu appeared calm and confident.

Muranishi Toru and others were stunned by this wave of reverse propaganda, and they only had one thought in their minds -

Boss is awesome!

……

"It's okay, Xiaolan, don't worry, I've explained it clearly, it's all a misunderstanding, don't worry...Okay, say hello to Detective Maori for me, bye~"

After hanging up the phone, Gui Yewu shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "This is the thirteenth time."

He has received several calls during this period, most of which were from people he knew. It was obvious that they had heard the terrifying news about "The Grudge".

For those who didn't know the truth, even though there was a reversal afterwards, they still couldn't help but worry about Gui Yewu.

Gui Yewu could only keep explaining and comforting.

But even though he complained, the smile on his face wouldn't go away.

There is no way, the current situation is very good.

Just now, Toei sent him the box office statistics for the two days of the weekend.

2 billion!
Although it is the same as "That Summer, the Quiet Sea", you have to know that it has only been released for two days, one day less than the former!
Absolutely a good start!

All I can say is that what happened to Hideharu Tsukawa was too much of a coincidence, and it actually gave a boost to "The Grudge" and directly used his own life to help it take off!
He is an example of selflessness.

Coupled with the gimmick of following closely the "Chikako Ikeda incident", the double boost immediately resulted in a surprising start.

Time passes day by day.

The topic of "The Grudge" among the people has not stopped, but has become more and more intense.

Mainly those audiences who were originally attracted by the gimmick of "a scary horror movie" screamed one after another after watching "The Grudge", and were pleasantly surprised to find that the plot itself was much better than they expected.

They all turned into tap water and enthusiastically recommended the product to people around them.

For a time, "The Grudge" was actually showing signs of becoming a phenomenon.

At this time, another good thing happened——

The TV series "Snow Woman's Love" is on air!

It was a huge hit right from the start, and in just three episodes the ratings soared to number one in the current time slot!

It has become a hit TV series discussed by the whole nation, and its popularity is almost as high as "The Grudge".

Even because of its audience, its popularity gradually surpassed that of "The Grudge".

The popularity of "The Love of the Snow Woman" made the leading actress Akiko Kinoshita the biggest beneficiary.

To describe it in four words: an overnight success!

Akiko Kinoshita went from being a second-rate artist with only a little fame to becoming a popular national goddess. She was warmly sought after and directly rose to the ranks of first-tier artists.

And the upward momentum has not stopped.

The second beneficiary is undoubtedly "The Grudge".

As a leading actress, Akiko Kinoshita's popularity immediately fed back to "The Grudge". The most obvious manifestation was that in just less than two weeks, the box office of "The Grudge" exceeded 10 billion!
As the news came out, it shocked countless people.

"The scariest horror movie is born - The Grudge!" "Shocking! She actually did such a thing in the movie!"

"The new winner of the Classic Goblin List - Chikako!"

"The dark horse supervisor is once again a dark horse. Takashi Matsuo's prediction failed, and he publicly invited Takeshi Onino to the show to apologize!"

"A slap in the face with strength! Waterloo? No, I am the undisputed winner!"

"Romance movies, horror movies, they all work! What will that man's next work be?"

"..."

All kinds of news are spreading.

Basically, it's all praise for "The Grudge" and Takeshi Onino.

The dazzling box office has proved everything.

People who were originally indifferent to this couldn't help but join in and want to see how good this highly acclaimed movie is.

This in turn further boosted the box office of "The Grudge", creating a virtuous circle.

In the third week, the box office exceeded 15 billion!
"The Grudge" is completely popular!
……

"cheers!!"

In the izakaya recommended by Kogoro Mori, the fierce proprietress brought the sake.

Takeshi Onino, Kenichi Takakura and other company executives, the three Mori people, and Suzuki Sonoko raised their glasses to celebrate together.

Maori Kogoro flirted with the proprietress in a familiar manner, then before Maori Ran could get angry, he put his arm around Onino Takeshi's broad shoulders, raised his glass and smiled enthusiastically:

"Brother Guiye, come here, I'll give you a toast and congratulate you on your movie's box office success!"

Onino Takeshi smiled and clinked glasses with him: "Thank you, Detective Maori."

"Hey, what's the name of Detective Maori!"

Kogoro Mori waved his hand loudly.

"From now on, you, the famous supervisor Onino Takeshi, and I, the famous detective Maori Kogoro, will be good brothers who share the happiness together!"

Thinking of the check that Mori Ran brought back again, Mori Kogoro became more determined to be brothers with Onino Takeshi, and he wished he could chop off the chicken's head and burn it with yellow paper immediately.

"father!"

Mao Lilan couldn't bear it anymore. A "井" character appeared on her forehead. She thought her father looked so embarrassing.

Moreover, Director Onino clearly only invited her and Conan, but the old man insisted on coming along, making it clear that he just wanted to eat and drink for free!
Gui Yewu didn't care. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's right, Mao Li and I are good brothers who stick together!"

Kogoro Maori nodded with satisfaction, then glanced at his daughter proudly, as if to say: What do you think, I didn't say anything nonsense, if you dare to threaten dad again, I will make you call me Uncle Onino!

Mao Lilan:......

I can’t have this dad anymore!

Onino Takeshi watched the father and daughter playing with a smile. As expected, as long as the lively guy Maori Kogoro was there, the atmosphere would never be dull.

As for becoming friends with the other party, he was naturally happy to do so. He still had a good impression of Kogoro Mori and felt that the other party always had a kind of wise and foolish attitude.

Besides, it's not a loss either way. At least Xiaolan can call him "uncle".

Oh, by the way, there's also that kid Conan.

Conan, who was sitting aside drinking a drink and pretending to be a child, suddenly felt a chill.

He raised his head in confusion, and immediately his eyes met Gui Yewu's.

Conan quickly gave him a couple of wry smiles, trying to get away with it.

Gui Yewu withdrew his gaze, but he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"Now that Kogoro Mouri and Conan, the two Death Gods, are here, there won't be any sudden incidents, right?

Haha, how can it be such a coincidence, the god of death really does not rest all year round!"

Gui Yewu was a little worried, but after thinking about it, he thought it was not such a coincidence, so he suppressed his worry in his heart.

However, when he glanced and saw a figure flashing outside the door, he was suddenly stunned...

　Thanks to book friend [zack170185] for the reward!
