Tokyo Sound

"…We certainly put in some effort, but in the final analysis, it was the result of his hard work." Koizumi Yuzaburo felt a little guilty.

"Yes, it's all fate. I never thought that it was the memorizing of the cards that would lead to this future." Shan Liushengxin sighed.

"What cards are you carrying?" Onishikawasuke was curious.

"Haha, these are all old things that are not worth mentioning. Come, let me pour tea for the three commanders." Yin Ze stood up.

This is a high-end restaurant in Shinjuku, decorated in Japanese wooden style. Guests chat quietly in a private space. Young waiters wearing kimonos and hairpins ask outside the door every time they serve dishes, and only enter after getting a response. The order and steps of serving high-end Japanese cuisine are particularly ritualistic... If you want to eat freely, you have to wait for the CD from the kitchen, which is not very convenient.

Natsume Kenzo shares the same ideas and opinions with someone regarding eating and drinking, but today is a meeting between teachers and leaders, and you can't let three old men who are almost 170 years old in total squeeze into a food stall, so bringing everyone to this kind of membership-based place is a way of honoring the elders.

"In any case, it's a great fortune for him to meet you. Oh, by the way, I have to thank you more for letting him take the liberal arts exam." Onishi Kawaseong said with a smile.

"After all, I like reading books and writing poems occasionally, just as a pastime." Koizumi Yuzaburo said modestly.

"Oh? Would you mind reading a few sentences?"

"Well, they are all clumsy works, not worth showing off."

"Haha, I once went to the school festival of the University of Tokyo with the president, and the president wrote a short poem called "Ode to Summer" at that time." said Yamayanagi Seinobu.

"That's great." When Onishi Kawase heard the school festival, he easily thought of the Most Beautiful Face Contest held during the school festival.

"Summer has always been so lonely, the scorching sun and mosquitoes come to keep me company—" Shan Liushengxin repeated smoothly, "It's been so long, I wonder if the principal has finished the last two sentences."

"It's okay. Let's wait until the next Tokyo University school festival and come back to visit. I'm sure I'll have new inspiration." Onishi Kawashima smiled happily.

"I'm just annoyed by the mosquito bites and I'm just complaining. It has nothing to do with poetry." Koizumi Yuzaburo forced a smile, but deep down, his desire for war was growing stronger and stronger, wanting to pluck out the few remaining hairs of the bald director.

Yin Ze was chewing on the side, secretly admiring the principal's literary talent, while also appreciating the dean's domineering attitude.

"By the way, this kid is studying for a doctorate, how is the progress?" Shan Liushengxin changed the subject.

“?” Yin Ze.

"There are some achievements, but not many," said Onishikawasuke. "In fact, with his talent, it is only a matter of time before he can make achievements. It's just that he has too many jobs and lacks energy, so he is still some distance away from obtaining a degree."

"Young people should study hard." Shan Liushengxin said, imitating the temperament of an elder.

"The alarm voice with the same voice as your Phantom Thief Leader is gone." Yin Ze is classic and petty, and he is 100% sure to trigger the counterattack spiral.

"?" Shan Liusheng believed it.

"Very good, very good." Koizumi Yuzaburou followed suit, raising the Elimination Blade. "The director is too focused on shortening the distance between himself and the students. He has a bad boy mentality and even gives spoilers to the students. Is this good? This is not good. I will suggest to the director's wife that he play less games."

"?" Shan Liusheng believed it.

Natsume Kenzo, who had been listening to the lecture, couldn't help laughing and tried to cover up his expression by drinking water. The sense of humor of these three people, old, middle-aged and young, really complemented each other, and the effect was superimposed. No wonder they could form a teacher-student friendship.

After the small dinner, Yin Ze and Natsume Kenzo each did their job and sent their teacher home.

At Shan Liusheng's house, it was the granddaughter who opened the door.

"How come you can watch a movie until 10pm? Where did you go to play again?" Shan Liusheng Qinghua was obviously a little unhappy that the old man came home late, but soon her resentment turned into joy, and she even stopped putting her hands on her hips. "Oh, my brother is here too. Did you come specially to send grandpa off? Thank you so much!"

"Yes, the director is very energetic today and has a strong enterprising spirit." Yin Ze nodded.

"Kazuki and I also went to see it. Brother acted really well." Yamayagyu Kiyoka clenched his fist and said, "I am very encouraged. I will definitely pass the exam this time. When the time comes, I will treat Brother to a meal in the cafeteria of Tokyo University--"

"Okay, okay." Yin Ze agreed and sent a message to the other party via Line, "In that case, I will give you a gift to celebrate in advance."

"What is this?" asked Shan Liusheng Qinghua.

"This is the alarm voice with the same voice as the leader of the Phantom Thieves. It is the only one of its kind in the world." Yin Ze said.

"How did you know I was playing Persona? I'll set it up now and never stay in bed again. Thank you, brother." Yamayagyu Kiyoka was very surprised.

"This is custom-made, so be careful not to let anyone copy it." Yin Ze said earnestly.

"?" Shan Liusheng believed it.

After making the dean of education, who had committed the crime of arrogance, feel the great regret of gaining and losing, Master Yin drove away with the mature and pretty young woman. When Asamiya Kazuki heard the sound of a car downstairs, she knew that a big star had returned. She was also moved by the movie today. While watching Brother Laoguaner eating supper, she directly caught the male supporting actor and asked him questions. The after-sales experience of watching the movie was perfect.

……

After the premiere of "Gall Girl", the first wave of reviews came out, and most of them were positive. Many passers-by tweeted that this was a movie worth watching. As an old film company, Toho has a sense of the market and knows that it may be a hit, so the subsequent promotion is seamless. The day after the premiere, the movie ranked second in the daily trend.

East Asia has always had a filter for academic qualifications, and the college entrance examination is the ultimate test for East Asian students. The film's description of the college entrance examination, but not limited to the life of the college entrance examination, can resonate with many people and can be said to be suitable for all ages. After all, who is not living hard?

In particular, the film is adapted from real examples, making it more realistic.

The film grossed 3.64 million yen in the first week, ranked among the best in audience satisfaction, and had an excellent reputation with almost zero negative reviews, and the momentum is encouraging.

…Strictly speaking, it was just the actors sitting down and talking about life, there were no scenes, the shooting cost was very low, and the bulk of the expenses were actually publicity and promotion. So making money was already an established fact, and the filmmakers were very happy at this time.

The lead actress Arimura Kasumi has once again seen a growth point in her career. She already has good popularity among the public and has proven that she can take on the leading role. She is already a big shot and is on her way to becoming a national actress.

In addition to hotly discussing the village girl's cuteness and performance, people are also discussing the male supporting role.

The role of Tsubota is played very well, kind, wise, steadfast, and full of wisdom, which can be said to be an ideal teacher. Someone was once again criticized. Even if there is a precedent and a newcomer award, it is still surprising that the voice actor can contribute such superb acting skills on the screen. However, after experiencing this theater movie, the label of movie actor on that person will basically not be questioned. In fact, except for animation fans, the public's first impression of the male supporting actor is that he is an actor, not a voice actor.

But what really brought the movie's popularity to the next level was the Easter egg at the end.

“Who is that young man at the end?”

Thanks to the wonderful skills of the makeup artist, Pingtian's image looks at least 5 years younger than someone else.

"Why is the easter egg Tokyo University? Didn't you take the Keio entrance exam?"

This is the biggest doubt.

The whole article is about preparing for the Keio University entrance exam, so why does it end with a new student reporting for the University of Tokyo?

This brings me to the point!

Toho anticipated this kind of reaction when the actors were auditioning, so it immediately played its cards right away.

——The actor who plays Mr. Tsubota is a student at the University of Tokyo, and he is also a poor student who makes a comeback, completing the feat of ranking seventh in the third grade of Bunka in just three months and stepping over Akamon!

As soon as the news came out, the public was shocked, and the realism and popularity of the film skyrocketed.

No one would doubt whether it was true or not, because such a thing could not be faked. Besides, animation fans already knew about it, and single-fans even knew that someone went to the examination room from Matsuoka Yoshitsugu's home.

In fact, from the past radio broadcasts, I guessed that my brother’s experience in studying would not be smooth sailing, but I didn’t expect it to be so legendary!

I thought my grades were just reaching the passing line, but I encountered some problems before the exam and my condition dropped. Fortunately, after years of accumulation, I finally succeeded.

I never thought that my grades were hopeless. I worked hard in Longchang to gain enlightenment in March, and finally made it into the top ten in the subject that year, and became one of the top ten in Japan.

This is really a big brother... The heroine in the movie took a whole year to get admitted to Keio University, but you only had 90 days at most!

Old fans had a team building under the account, and it was lively and exciting.

New fans follow the usual process:

Male passerby → He is the King of Clouds? ! → He is the Masked Rider? ! → He is the leader of the Phantom Thieves? ! → Started with talent → Fallen for character → Loyal for appearance → I am a ten-year old fan

Female passerby → Started with his looks → He is the animation supervisor? ! → He is Okita Souji? ! → He is Uesugi Kenshin? ! → Fallen in love with his talent → Loyal to his character → I am a ten-year old fan

Of course, this is just the general situation. There are exceptions. There are also gamers among the female passers-by.

Although "Ronin Kenshin" was a minor role, it was still a minor role. Although "Woodpecker and Rain" won the Grand Jury Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival, it was still a niche art film. However, "Gal" was a hit nationwide, promoted by Toho, and released in 300 theaters!

Master Yin has once again successfully broken the circle, and it’s a big circle.

The single pushers were also united in their determination and spared no effort. For example, they dug up the interview materials of Tokyo University freshmen from the early years of Tokyo TV. Everyone else had lofty ambitions and looked forward to the future, but the eldest brother made a shocking statement, saying that he wanted to eat beef rice bowl, and that being promoted to the second year was a success, and not being forced to drop out was a victory. This video was very comedic and was widely forwarded.

As live-action movies are declining, the film's cumulative box office in its second week was 12.1 billion yen, and it is certain to break 20 billion yen.

The popularity even spread to the countryside.

Kashiwa Ippei drove to the largest supermarket in the town to buy something. When he passed by the newspaper area, he glanced around and suddenly stopped.

Huh?

Enlightenment!

Ippei Kashiwai pulled out the Tokyo Sports Daily and found a long film review in the entertainment section.

Written by Mizuno Nagaharu... Such a familiar name.

"The bottom-ranked otaku hidden among the bottom-ranked hotties"

"Where there is a will, there is a way. Believe in the possibility. Thoughts after watching the movie."

"Gal is a youth inspirational film directed by Yuta Doi and starring Kasumi Arimura and Satoru Takizawa. The plot is generally simple, even a bit clichéd, telling the story of a girl who ranked last in grades and finally got into Keio after hard work. It's hard to get interested just by looking at the introduction, but the film's narrative is smooth and the texture is sincere. The author was deeply moved and inspired by the story - hard work is a personal matter, but your destiny is not just about you."

"Sayaka is like a butterfly flapping its wings. In the play, Suzuki, who is also a poor student, is moved by her and embarks on the road of fighting for himself. Sayaka's three good friends, who were used to indulging their youth and not thinking about their studies, have changed to wanting to work hard for their future and agree to go to college together. Sayaka's younger brother was forced by his father to practice baseball, which he didn't like. After his dream was shattered, the father and son were speechless for a while. Under the action of his sister, he regained his confidence and wanted to find a career that he really loved. And Sayaka, the butterfly, was able to fly with the support of her mother and teacher."

"When I watched the movie for the second time, I walked out of the theater and heard other audience members talking. Some people smiled and said to their friends that they should work hard on the college entrance examination, and some even planned to include Keio and Tokyo University as their goals. This movie can really inspire one student after another. The influence of the butterfly extends beyond the play. This is the charm of the movie. Even those who are not in the play are willing to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of hard work and will involuntarily follow the plot and become passionate. Of course, a movie cannot completely change someone's life, but as long as it can give people a little strength and fighting spirit when they feel frustrated, it is good enough."

"The most valuable thing about this film is its authenticity. Sayaka is based on a real person, and Mr. Tsubota plays the role in his true colors. In addition to reproducing the tenderness and guidance of the prototype, actor Takizawa Satoru also projects part of his own life into this role. The Tsubota he plays is full of enthusiasm and believes in students because his former teacher did the same. As the hidden protagonist, he closely connects the movie with reality. So far, it has far exceeded the scope of acting - not to mention that his performance is so outstanding."

“Fairy tales have really happened in this world. The difference lies in whether we are willing to work hard to make them come true.”

“This is a movie that’s still going on off-screen.”

"..."

There is a lot of content at the end, including various analyses of lighting and camera positions.

After reading it carefully, Kashiwa Ippei felt that the writer seemed to be becoming more subjective than before, and he no longer concealed his praise for others.

"It seems that some people are going to become big stars." Kashiwa Ippei chuckled. He took the newspaper and pushed the shopping cart to check out.

Of course, what people who have finished writing their own stories want to read most is the stories that others have not yet finished.

……

All over Japan.

Onishikawasuke was very happy because the champion of the most beautiful face was a well-established Tokyo University student, and his performance in the movie made Tokyo University more prestigious than Keio University. Although Tokyo University no longer needed to prove itself, the majesty and presence of "there are always better people than you" still made the old man secretly happy in his office, and the deans of other departments also secretly said that he did a good job.

Yoshida Tomoki was very happy because the person in charge of the integration and direct management of the high-level art resource outsourcing chain was an important partner that could not be separated from Final Fantasy 14 and an old friend of his executive director. Yoshida felt that the Innocent Monster Project was his greatest personnel operation.

Shirakura Shinkuro was very happy because Kamen Rider Amazon was an important partner that the adult riders could not separate from and would be an important helper to the younger riders in the future. Shirakura thought that giving the leather case and belt was the most cost-effective gift he had ever given.

Kawamura Genki is very happy because the animation supervisor and the main voice actor are inseparable from the animation film and are the key figures who inject energy into the summer movie project. I said before that maybe the popularity might not be enough, so this is a hot patch.

The producer thought that the other party should jump to Toho Entertainment.

There are many happy people.

There is only one frustrated person.

Masao Eda sighed in the president's office.

It’s popular! It’s popular again!

The poachers are coming! They are coming again!

Kashiwa, please think of a solution quickly and tell me how I should defend. What should I do?

Kashiwai, Kashiwai...Oh, Kashiwai is no longer here.

Masao Eda was sad. Fortunately, the second-generation manager, Kenki Kyoka, was as talented as Kashiwai. He believed she would have a way. Moreover, the agency was thriving, so he believed she would not leave like Kashiwai.

Masao Eda turned on his computer with a worried look on his face.

Chapter 82: Achievements that Shock the Industry

The movie "Gal" was released throughout Japan, and attracted nearly 23 viewers in the two days of the premiere weekend. The Japanese Yahoo Movie Channel gave it a rating of 4.46 (out of 5). In the fourth week, the cumulative box office successfully exceeded 20 billion yen, which is a good result in today's live-action movie environment.

When the box office of "Ronin Kenshin" exceeded 20 billion yen, Kobold happily jokingly called Minotaur, who only played a supporting role, the "20 billion yen man". At that time, he was just trying to gild the film to gain popularity. Unexpectedly, as time passed, Kobold returned to his hometown to farm, and Minotaur also achieved this outstanding performance as an important character.

And this is not the end. Judging from the market response and the increase, the expected value of the final box office can be set at 30 billion yen.

It's definitely a hit.

What's more, it is a film with low investment, no big-name stars, and the subject matter is not particularly pleasing.

The entire crew was super happy.

The lead actress, Kasumi Arimura, has seen a surge in the number of announcements, and has been appearing on TV shows non-stop, promoting the film while showing off her face.

Actors can reap the benefits of good roles, as the audience will project their love for the character onto the actor himself... and the negative example is the damage to their reputation.

The core character of the film is of course the hardworking and naive Sayaka, and the second is undoubtedly the knowledgeable and kind lecturer Tsubota. Almost every young audience who is still in school said that Tsubota is indeed an ideal teacher. And with the blessing of the more than ten seconds of Easter eggs at the end of the film, the role of Tsubota is given a lot of realistic meaning by its actor. The two added together brought a very good positive response.

Someone's fame is rising rapidly.

Breaking the circle is a very metaphysical thing, and it also comes in different sizes.

The death of Kiyosato Akira was shocking, and he was the ceiling of death. Cold nights, moonlight, cherry blossoms, drizzle, samurai, blood, turbulent times, dead love, buried fate, all of them are present. He is called a zero-meal replacement swordsman image, and even reversely boosted the popularity of the ex-husband in the original manga. He is a favorite of fans of costume dramas.
