Tokyo Literature and Art Times

In the era that Takeshi Iwata lived in, the Internet was already a thing that penetrated into all aspects of human life, and his views on a movie could be simply presented on the Internet.

Midi has Rotten Tomatoes, we in China have Maoyan Dou and so on.

Right now it is Japan in the 80s, if you want to know the word-of-mouth of a movie, the means are much more primitive.

Generally speaking, the most commonly used is the street questionnaire.

This method is not only used in movies, but also used in almost all consumer goods, and there are special institutions to do this work.

Toho and Shochiku will also receive relevant reports.

However, the actions of those investigative agencies are relatively slow.

Last time Brutal didn't do that, the film has already won awards internationally and audiences will definitely be affected by the awards.

Now, this "Infernal Affairs" is very important, and Takeshi Iwata wants to get first-hand word of mouth.

Someone happens to be on hand, just let it go.

The one who just called was Kagawa, and the target group for this investigation was his classmates.

Don't look at Kagawa's stubbornness, but the real graduate of Tohoku University is still the Department of Literature.

Most of the literature students are also very interested in movies. Moreover, they have a certain level, and they are Dongda University, so their views on "Infernal Affairs" should be of great reference value.

Naturally, don't force others to see it, we Yakuza are also reasonable in what we do.

Now listening to Kagawa's description on the phone, he really had several classmates who went to see the movie, and the reviews were very good.

A smile appeared on Iwata Takeshi's face, after all, everyone likes to hear good things.

Then, the phone rang again.

"Boss, everyone here at Tsukiji Market said they like it very much!"

"really?"

"Really! They say it's amazing!"

"You didn't use any weird tricks, did you?"

"How could it be? It's definitely everyone's real voice!"

"very good."

……

"Boss, Kabukicho has a good response here!"

"Have you not……"

"No, a friend of mine told me."

"Your friend..."

"Really my friend."

……

"Everyone in the small theater is very envious of me."

"They went to see it too."

"All said that this movie is very, very good!"

"very good."

……

Calls came in one after another, Cat, Yu, Qing, Matsushigetoyo, Endo, Kagawa, all of them reported what they had seen and heard.

Although, Ah Qing made a friend out of nothing, but it was nothing.

Word of mouth is a great success!

Before the investigation report came out, Takeshi Iwata had a bottom line.

Some people will definitely have a bad opinion, but at least judging from the samples they collected, it should still be great.

So, what about the box office?

Christmas this year, if you count Christmas Eve the day before, happens to be Saturday and Sunday.

The premiere of "Infernal Affairs" was scheduled on the afternoon of the day before Christmas, which is Saturday afternoon.

In this way, "Infernal Affairs" has already completed its first week of release, although there are only less than two days in this week.

It's only a day and a half to be exact, but this is also the 'first week'.

How much can the box office be?

Takeshi Iwata was waiting for a call, and he knew that person would call.

Sure enough, the phone finally rang.

"Mosimoxi."

"Iwata-san, hello."

"Hello Shimaya-san."

"The Box Office of "Infernal Affairs" in the first week..."

Takeshi Iwata's brows furrowed.

……

After doing the 'investigation', Matsushige Feng's footsteps became very brisk.

In the small theater period, I didn't get too many opportunities, and this fierce face really made people stay away.

It's different now. When he returned to the small theater, everyone looked at him in that way.

There is jealousy in the envy, but also all kinds of words of praise.

Even if he is shy, he can't help but feel a little proud.

These are all thanks to Iwata-san!

Thank you!

Mushroom sauce has already made up her mind to follow Iwata-san.

Right now, he's back in the Iwata-gumi.

Where can I go after the investigation is over?

Then again, there is one more important thing.

"I am back."

As if thinking of this place as his own home, Matsushige Feng opened the door and saw that everyone had returned.

Mao Yuqing, the three of them are very energetic.

Kenichi Endo and Kagawa are also two potential actors.

Well, including myself, Iwata-san is a capable soldier in the world.

The idea of ​​Matsushige Feng had the feeling of a period drama, but at this moment, he also walked quickly.

Everyone gathered around Iwata-san's desk.

"Boss! Has the box office come out yet?"

"Yes, although the time is a little short, the first week has already passed."

"Is it because the time is too short, so... there is no reference value?"

"Don't say such depressing words!"

"Impressiveness! Imposing manner! Anyway, as far as my investigation results are concerned, there must be no problem!"

Obviously, everyone is just like themselves, looking forward to the box office data of the first week of "Infernal Affairs"!

Matsushige Feng was relatively tall, so it would be better if he walked over and stood a little outside for a while.

And at this moment, he also observed Iwata-san's serious face...but there was no expression at all.

For such a vicious man, his expressionless expression was already imposing enough.

Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, looking forward to it!

Matsushige Feng's shy heart was already speeding up.

To listen to Takeshi Iwata suddenly coughed lightly.

"Cough...you guys, just want to know?"

These words made everyone radiate extremely expectant little eyes.

Takeshi Iwata finally gave the answer: "5 million!"

5 million yen in the first week?

The simple numbers, like sparks flying into the dry wood, ignited the house in an instant.

"Siguoyi!"

"Super Sri Lankan One!"

These guys are still like that, saying that the country will go all over the world.

Only the expressions and actions are full of enthusiasm.

When Matsushige Feng heard this, he almost didn't cry.

Only two days, no!

A day and a half to be exact!

This 5 million is equivalent to double the last "Ferocious".

Of course, after all, it is the Yakuza group, although it is very cool to follow Si Guoyi, but I don't quite understand what this 5 million means.

"How powerful is this box office?" Ah Chuan perfectly interprets what it means to ask if he doesn't understand.

At this time, Yuanziwen walked in at some point, "Probably, in about two days, more than 10 people watched this film in the cinema every day."

As soon as this remark came out, it triggered a new round of climax.

Si Guoyi kept rushing out, making people happy and speechless.

However, Sonoko Wen walked over, saluted Takeshi Iwata, and said, "Boss, according to the habits of large Japanese companies, this will probably be..."

What's next?Why does this weirdo seem so hard to handle?

Everyone was puzzled, but Takeshi Iwata laughed.

very scary……

However, everyone was brave enough to notice that the boss's fingers were beating on a stack of manuscript papers on the desk.

It clearly reads:

"Kill That Man".

Chapter 062 More than one movie?Stand and make money!

Takarazuka Building.

Yamauchi is someone who is a little out of tune with Toho.

He was born in Hankyu Hanshin Holdings, which is a public transportation company. They are also present in subways, buses, hotels, shopping malls, and various basic businesses in people's lives.

In capitalist countries, those who can engage in the most basic industries are large companies, which can be said to be absolutely lucrative businesses, and they are also very successful.

Toho is a big Japanese company, and Hankyu Hanshin is the major shareholder of the big company.

In recent years, the Japanese film market has not been very good.

To put it in a bad way, if you use the money to make a movie to speculate on a house, that's all.

Toho is losing money, and Yamauchi wants to reverse the situation.

Then, he must do one thing first.
