My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

I didn’t expect that an event would seem so special before it even started. I really want to know what it will be like at the next comic convention.

After hearing Naoto's words, everyone hurriedly tidied up their clothes, completely abandoning the previous commotion and instead looking neatly dressed.

In fact, everyone did this before just to cover up the tension deep in their hearts.

You know, this is the premiere of the movie, and it is the premiere of the movie within the crew. Basically, only various media and internal members of the crew can enter.

It is a place full of big names and shining stars, and ordinary people cannot get in.

Although Naoto and Mai might not feel this way, most people are actually quite nervous.

Soon, everyone, led by Naoto, began to walk towards the booked movie venue.

Chapter 163: Subversive Movie

"Teacher ONE! Miss Mai! You are here too!"

Outside the cinema, Kashima happened to see Naoto and others again.

Not only them, but other members of the crew were also waiting outside for their arrival.

Following Kashima's shout, the surrounding reporters swarmed towards Naoto like a hornet's nest.

"Teacher ONE, what do you think about the movie that will be released today?"

"Teacher ONE, no comic book movie has ever grossed more than 50 million yuan. Rumor has it that you may lose all your money this time. What do you think?"

"Teacher ONE, Ms. Mai, may I ask who are these people around you? Why are they with you?"

Faced with the reporters' crazy interviews, Naoto, Mai and others could only answer them reluctantly. It must be said that these reporters at work were even more terrifying than zombies.

Being blocked by this group of people, it was a bit difficult to leave.

"Please calm down. I can say that this movie will not disappoint you. I have strictly checked the script, and Director Hongmu and Assistant Director Quanmu have also used some bold shooting techniques. This time it will definitely exceed your imagination."

After Zhiren answered the question, the reporters immediately took photos of him, some even taking photos of his face dozens of times.

After a lot of effort, Naoto and his friends finally walked out from the crowd of reporters and came to the crew.

"Teacher ONE, Ms. Mai, thank you for your hard work. Let's go in quickly. Wait a minute, these reporters may never stop coming."

In response to Director Hongmu's words, everyone behind Naoto looked at the group of people behind him with lingering fear.

When interviewing Naoto, the reporters didn't let them go either.

Originally they thought being interviewed by reporters was a great thing.

But when the questions this group of people asked became more and more outrageous, they were unable to cope with it.

Things like his relationship with Naoto and Mai, why he appeared here, and even the privacy of Naoto, Mai and others. It was really overwhelming.

"Teacher ONE, Ms. Mai, I'm sorry, I didn't expect those reporters to..."

After seeing how hard Naoto and the others were working, Kashima never expected that just one shout from him would cause such a big sensation.

"It's okay. Even if you don't shout, the reporters will see us later. Forget it, let's go in first."

In the screening room, except for the seats for their group, the other seats were basically full.

In addition to some professional film critics, there are also colleagues in the film industry.

Even Genichirō, who once gave Naoto the Nebula Award recommendation vote, was among them.

After watching Parasyte, many of them had high expectations for this live-action movie.

Although there is no character who can fight in the current comic-adapted movies.

But they are still looking forward to the parasitic beast.

After Hongmu, the director, gave his speech, the movie started showing soon.

As the beginning of the movie began to appear, everyone watched it intently. This is arguably the most expensive movie of the year.

"What an amazing picture, it looks so cool."

In the scene at the beginning when the parasites began to fall into the earth, many people felt that the special effects of the parasites this time were completely different from the special effects they and others had seen before.

As for the special effects just now, if it were in other movies, it would at least appear in the climax.

And Parasyte actually put it at the very beginning? Was it worth spending so much money? Or was it that he was a new director who didn't know how to use the best steel in the best way?

But is this really the case? Of course not.

The truth is that because the male lead Kashima is a newcomer, the original plan to pay him half the salary, and the female lead Ichika, in order to thank Naoto for his help, also asked for a part of the salary less.

Not to mention Mai. As a senior student, it was impossible for her to ask Naoto for a large sum of money, so she just gave him a friendly price.

The three roles that originally cost the most money actually saved a large part of the money. Not to mention those who were attracted by Naoto's fame, some of them even planned to appear in the film for free.

There was already a lot of funds, and due to various strange reasons, in the end, after the film was finished, there was still so much money left.

If it were any other director, he would probably have embezzled this part of the money.

But what a pity, these two people didn't dare to do it.

Imagine if this movie hadn't been made well, it would have been the end of it.

Although money is a good thing, it does not mean that they want to end their careers as directors and screenwriters.

So, what is the best thing to do with the extra money?

Of course, it would be best to focus on special effects.

In order to make the whole movie sublime, the two directors begged for help from everyone, even the famous Yuangu Company.

I have to say that there is one good thing about academic directors, which is that they have a wide network of contacts.

Even if there are two guys who are not doing well, they can find a large group of people to help them. In the end, they invited the best special effects team in the country to help this movie with top special effects.

You have to know that at this time, Avatar has only been released for about a year, and such special effects are enough to shock everyone.

It would have been fine if it was just a special effect, but what happened afterwards surprised them immensely.

When the protagonist Shinichi Izumi, played by Kashima, appeared, no one recognized that this person was actually a girl.

That expression and appearance are exactly the same as an ordinary man.

"Wait a minute? How come I've never seen this actor before? A newcomer?! How dare they hire a newcomer for a movie like this?"

"I remember that the male lead of this movie was indeed a newcomer. Wait, let me take a look... Kashima Yu, what the hell! This guy is actually a girl!"

"Nani?!"

When they heard that the leading actor was played by a woman, all the film critics and professionals were stunned.

Not only did they use a newcomer, they even used a woman to play the male lead! How dare they do that!

This group of people looked exactly like the way Naoto felt when he first watched CJ7 and realized that the sloppy little boy was actually a boy. This feeling completely shattered his worldview.

Chapter 164: A Shocking Movie

Compared to the original live-action version of Parasyte, Naoto's version of Parasyte uses a lot of new filming techniques. Although the director and the assistant director and screenwriter are academic filmmakers, this does not mean that they are both old-fashioned and do not know how to adapt.

In fact, after working in the bottom of the film industry for so long, the two have long lost their old-fashioned ideas.

At least there is no Japanese idea of ​​saving as much as possible. The whole movie gives people the feeling that they are watching a Hollywood blockbuster. All kinds of special effects are used very well. While making people feel happy, they can't help but sigh, they are so damn rich.

In terms of the plot, while making slight modifications to the original work, some innovations were also added, condensing the content of the entire comic into two hours. While ensuring the original flavor, it also ensures that everyone can enjoy the high-energy plot throughout the whole process, which is simply wonderful.

At the beginning, when the first man infected by the parasitic beast appeared, everyone held their breath.

The depressing atmosphere coupled with the eerie music instantly makes people feel as if they are watching a horror movie.

However, it was true. When the twisted and strange head appeared in front of everyone, screams were heard in the theater.

"Oh my god! Was that the person just now parasitized by the parasitic beast?"

"What a terrifying feeling. It's as if the monster just now was right in front of me."

"It's a great filming technique. They didn't use a suit or a model, but used CG techniques to create a monster. They even showed how the monster's head deformed."

"Is this a reference to the filming techniques of Hollywood blockbusters? This rhythm style has the feeling of The Ring."

"After creating a terrifying atmosphere, they directly let the monster appear. It's a very powerful filming method. I never thought that these two people used to shoot short films."

While many film critics were making their comments, the plot continued to develop.

Kashima's role as Izumi Shinichi and Ichika's role as the heroine both performed very well.

Although the process of the male protagonist's encounter with Xiao You is compressed, it does not feel abrupt.

The bond between the heroine and the hero also has some appropriate plot additions to make their relationship closer.

After slight adjustments to the plot, the plot of the entire movie has become even better.

Everyone was originally worried about whether the newcomer Kashima could perform well, but soon everyone found that they didn't have to worry at all.

Although Kashima's acting is a little awkward, in this movie, the directors made good use of this feature to show Izumi Shinichi's early personality traits.

After watching the whole movie, in addition to the adrenaline rush, there are also many tear-jerking plots.

The protagonist's despair when he saw his mother being possessed by another soul, the sadness of having to kill his mother, the sadness of seeing his father unable to get out of his grief, and the desolation of his empty home, this tragedy made a group of emotional film critics cry.

And Kana's death later on, thanks to Mai's superb performance, is so touching that it makes people cry.

Throughout the entire movie, Xiaoyou's final monologue to protect Izumi Shinichi and his final farewell made people unable to bear the pain in their hearts any longer, and the entire cinema was filled with the sound of crying.

Even Naoto, who was in the cinema, couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

If there was anyone in the entire theater who didn't cry, it would probably be only Nan Zi, who never cries, and the two directors who were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

In fact, their attention was focused on everyone else throughout the entire movie.

When they heard the crying, they knew that the film was a success. They had worked so hard for so long, and finally it would be rewarded.

And that is indeed the reality. When the movie ended and the names of the crew began to appear, many people who watched the movie had not yet recovered from the shock.

On the Internet, various film reviews and analyses of "Parasyte" quickly occupied the high ground of the Internet.

[This is the best live-action movie I have ever seen. It is so good. There are no boring parts in the whole movie. Watch it quickly. ]

[I admit that I watched it with prejudice, but after watching it, I couldn't stop. I won't say more, brothers. I'm going to watch the third show.]

[This movie not only has family love, but also love and friendship. The bold shooting techniques of Hayato Kuzuki and Seiichi Izumi, combined with the story of ONE teacher, have produced a strong chemical reaction, pointing out the way for future live-action movies. If you want to shoot a good movie, you can't be perfunctory. ]

[I have to say, when I saw that the male lead was played by a newcomer, even a woman, I couldn't believe it. The handsome Izumi Shinichi in the movie was actually a girl? I have to say, I was really shocked. It is said that the actor recommendation this time was recommended by ONE teacher. He is indeed the number one in boys' comics. His vision is really unique. ]

[Looking at the handsome and heroic figure of the protagonist, I felt that I had fallen in love. But when I knew that the protagonist was a woman, I found that I liked her more. ]

[Mai Sakurajima gave us such a big surprise in her first comeback, she is worthy of being the national idol of the year. Although she is only a supporting role, she performed more profound acting skills than the heroine. It is worthy of Mai Sakurajima. It seems that after this movie, she will reach new heights. ]

[Compared to Mai Sakurajima, Miss Nakano Ichika is no less impressive than anyone else. Different from the lively and cute image in other movies, in this movie, Miss Ichika plays a gentle childhood sweetheart, which is also a unique highlight. ]

[This movie really made me cry and get excited. My girlfriend was already crying her eyes out. During the fight, she was cheering for the characters. I have never seen her so excited.]

The overwhelming praise made Hongmu and Quanmu so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

The actors and actresses who participated in the show also became instantly popular.

In the years since the Japanese economy began to decline, there hasn't been a movie that has been discussed so much in a long time.

"Thank you, Mr. ONE. If it weren't for you, this movie wouldn't have been possible. Thank you so much."

Although the two had been complaining about Naoto being a troublesome guy before, when they really succeeded, they only felt grateful to Naoto.

This is like your old classmate in high school. Although you hate him normally, when you really enter high school, all you can probably feel towards him is gratitude.

"That's not true. Being able to make a movie like this is the result of your hard work. Don't relax yet. There are still things to be done about the box office waiting for you."

Chapter 165: New Box Office Record

After Parasyte was aired, the entire Japanese film and television industry exploded.

The influence of the Parasyte movie exceeded everyone's expectations.

At the beginning, even though Naoto invested 200 million, many people were not optimistic that Naoto could make this movie a hit. After all, live-action movies are really not popular in Japan.

It's not just Neon. Even the two famous companies, DC and Marvel, have suffered enough blows in recent years to cause them serious damage.

It's no wonder that everyone was not optimistic at the beginning. After all, in terms of special effects and experience, how could they possibly compete with those wealthy and powerful entities?

However, what no one expected was that the first day box office of Parasyte directly earned more than 80 million in just one day, which stunned everyone.
