Volume 4 To the New World: Chapter 4 Movie Trailer Battle, Ai Yuto's Time to Unleash His Power! (2-in-1 5k)

After Christmas, setting aside the intimate and warm moments with Akane Kurokawa at the midnight hotel, Yu Genkawa's workload suddenly increased after returning to Tokyo the next day.

Because "Your Name" is about to be released, with the release date set for New Year's Day, the trailer work must be in full swing.

The next day at 10:00 AM, in Suoh Hayabusa's office.

"Yuanchuan, you've arrived."

Suoh Hayabusa looked up at Genkawa Yu as he walked in, feeling a great weight lifted from his heart, as if his pillar of support had descended upon him.

Although he had been involved in business negotiations for a long time, he still wanted to consult with Genkawa Yu on the promotion and release of the trailer, since the other party was the original author.

"Tell me, what are your thoughts?"

“I have three directions to consider, which Suoh-san may find helpful.”

"it is good."

Suoh Hayabusa handed over the prepared publicity plan.

"You can take a look at our current strategy first."

"OK."

After the two sat down on the sofa, Genkawa Yu first carefully read through the publicity plan prepared by Suo Hayato, and then pondered for a moment.

"I think we can build on the foundation we've already laid for our promotional efforts."

"How to say?"

Theme song.

Genkawa Yu held up one finger and explained confidently.

“After October, we found a singer to record and promote the song ‘Zen Zen Zense’. This is something we can actually make use of.”

"After all, this song is very popular right now, and there are covers and fan creations on various video platforms."

What are you planning to do?

Zhou Fangjun's gaze sharpened.

“We can use this song to release trailers and create fan art on various websites. After all, ‘Your Name’ is an animated film, so most of its audience should be young people.”

"Young people love various video websites, so if we hold fan-created content events, it can definitely boost the popularity of the film."

"Let everyone know that there is another movie coming out soon, and raise everyone's expectations."

“Good, continue.” Suo Fang Shun nodded in satisfaction.

"Then came the promotion of the live-streaming event."

Yuan Chuan You smiled. He had actually held several live streaming events before, which were mostly for business endorsements and advertising. With the internet age developing so vigorously, live streaming is a pretty good way to promote products and services.

"The movie hasn't even been released yet, so if they hold a live stream..."

Suoh Shun hesitated. He had considered this plan, but if a live broadcast was held before "Your Name" was even released, it would require a high level of ability from the guests, otherwise it would easily become awkward.

I know what your concerns are...

Genkawa Yu smiled, his tone relaxed.

"Live broadcasts are not something that can be done casually. We need to collect everyone's questions in advance, and then interact with the audience without giving away any spoilers, answering everyone's questions about the movie."

"Besides me, we can also have the animation director, Kouto Shinkai, join as guests, and then Asakura and a host will be enough."

"Okay, it's good that you have confidence."

Suoh Hayabusa clapped his hands, then continued to press for answers.

"What's the last option?"

"The last option is the one we discussed before, but we don't need to release it now. We can wait about a week after the film's release before taking action."

Genkawa Yu explained slowly that this plan had already been implemented before, and now it was just post-production work.

"That's a documentary."

"Documentaries about filmmaking are a great resource."

It can not only allow the audience to feel more immersed, but also evoke empathy in the audience, thereby encouraging them to watch it a second or third time.

"I know that. When the movie was being made, the documentary had already been filmed."

This matter was initially initiated by Yuu Minakawa and Hayato Suo, and the latter immediately understood when it was mentioned.

"Okay, let's go over the details of this part with the team later."

"Okay, I'll call them over right away. We'll have a simultaneous meeting later."

"no problem."

The two then discussed the details of the publicity and distribution for more than an hour, and at the same time joined the publicity and distribution team of the "Burning" series to start arranging these matters.

For example, the live broadcast process, the way the promotional video is played, and the promotional rhythm on social media platforms, etc. This movie is the final battle, and Suoh Hayabusa is determined to fight with all his might. He even moved his bed to the office, all in order to defeat his brother and obtain the right to inherit the fiery series.

While Yuu Genkawa and Hayato Suo were busy preparing for the film's promotion, someone had already devised a plan.

The next day, April 27th.

The trailer for Shogo Suo's film "Shogun" was released online first.

This move instantly caused a huge uproar in the Japanese film market, firing the first shot of the New Year's Day holiday season.

The first spark of this battle for the inheritance of the fiery lineage was ignited by the older brother, Shogo Suo.

As a commercial blockbuster with special effects, "Shogun" boasts a luxurious production budget and cast.

The lead actor, Hiroshi Aki, is a veteran actor in the Japanese entertainment industry. He is around forty years old this year, but he still maintains extremely high popularity among the public, even higher than Mai Sakurajima.

When he was young, Amu Kuan captivated the hearts of countless viewers with his handsome appearance and superb acting skills. He was not only loved by young people, but even older women were infatuated with him and became his loyal fans.

Amu Kuan has been in the industry for over 20 years and has starred in countless classic films and television series. His box office appeal is terrifying; any movie he stars in usually does quite well at the box office.

The trailer for "Shogun" was even more stunning, instantly capturing the audience's attention as soon as it was released.

The trailer opens with a vast battlefield, with yellow sand flying everywhere, and warhorses and swords neighing.

This film tells a story set in a fictional Japanese shogunate era, with the protagonist being a samurai from the Takeda Shingen family named Takeda Rin.

The Takeda family was a prestigious clan during the shogunate era, with a powerful army, but it was ultimately destroyed by an even stronger enemy.

As a survivor of his clan, Takeda Rin witnessed its destruction firsthand. He saw the tragic deaths of his relatives and comrades, and his heart was filled with hatred.

When he was at his wit's end, Takeda Rin stumbled upon an ancient shrine, where he made a wish upon the eight hundred gods, hoping to obtain the power to take revenge.

Moved by his unwavering resolve, the gods bestowed upon him immense power, but the power could only be used for thirty-three days.

Having gained power, Takeda Rin is like a demon returned from hell, wielding a sharp longsword and embarking on a path of revenge.

He killed demons and monsters along the way, and all the demons and monsters that stood in his way of revenge were killed one by one. Wherever his blade touched, no one survived.

The trailer features several stunning special effects shots, with the demons appearing ferocious and terrifying. The fight scenes are grand and intense, with each swing of the sword accompanied by dazzling light and immense power, making viewers' blood boil.

In addition to slaying demons, Takeda Rin also has to face the Oni Warriors kept by the Toyotomi Hideyoshi family.

These Oni warriors were specially trained samurai with great strength, and they were an important force for Toyotomi Hideyoshi to consolidate his power.

The duel between Rin Takeda and the Onimusha was absolutely spectacular, and several scenes proved the film's large investment.

Finally, to entice viewers, the trailer included a scene of the protagonist confronting Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

At this moment, Toyotomi Hideyoshi stood at the highest point of the palace, overlooking the entire Edo, his eyes filled with ambition and aspirations. He was determined to unify the country and end the era of war.

Rin Takeda raised his long sword and stared directly at Toyotomi Hideyoshi, showing no fear even if the other party was the ruler of the land.

In the video, Amu's handsome face is perfectly suited for a samurai look; he shows no fear and exudes an amazing aura.

"Shogun: War Souls" is a commercial special effects blockbuster set in a fictional Sengoku period, yet it possesses a unique charm.

It blends elements of history, fantasy, and action, featuring both grand war scenes and spectacular fighting effects, with exquisitely detailed visuals.

The trailer went viral instantly, topping Twitter's trending topics list within just one hour, with related discussions continuing to rise.

Many people expressed their anticipation for the movie. Some praised the trailer's special effects as too stunning, while others were moved by Hiroshi Amu's acting skills. They all said they would definitely go to the cinema to watch "Shogun" on New Year's Day.

"My God! The trailer for 'Shogun' is so amazing!"

"Akihiro is as handsome as ever! Even at forty, he still exudes charisma. The role of Takeda Rin suits him perfectly!"

"A must-see during the New Year's Day holiday! This movie is definitely the dark horse at the box office this year!"

The enthusiastic discussions among netizens have caused the popularity of "Shogun" to soar, instantly making it one of the most anticipated films during the New Year's Day holiday.

Major media outlets also reported on this, praising the trailer for "Shogun" as well-made and promising to break Japanese box office records.

For a time, "Shogun" was incredibly popular, dominating the headlines of almost every entertainment section and becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

When the news reached Yu Genkawa and Hayato Suo, Yu Genkawa was discussing the live broadcast script with Toru Asakura.

After all, the girl doesn't have much experience in live streaming. Although Genkawa Yu will probably still be in charge of the show, she still needs to give him some pointers first.

"Yu, this movie is very popular."

The girl handed her the phone, her tone seemingly concerned.

"It's okay, have faith in our film."

Genkawa Yu smiled. "Your Name" was an animated film that created a box office miracle. He had just finished watching the trailer for "Shogun: Soul of the Shogun," and felt much more relaxed.

Yes, this movie is a pure commercial blockbuster, and its box office performance will definitely be high.

But it's not enough compared to "Your Name".

At the same time, Suo Hayato also entered the lounge. He seemed somewhat worried, but seeing Genkawa Yu's calm expression, he asked directly.

"Genkawa-kun, aren't you worried?"

"Don't worry, we won't lose."
