Movie Queen Development Plan

With the official release of "Kara no Kyoukai", many media outlets have begun publishing their reviews of this popular movie.

The vast majority of media outlets gave it positive reviews, with some even going so far as to exaggerate and call it the best movie of this summer.

"Compared to the "Snowy Life" that completely imitates the Hollywood model, "Kara no Kyoukai" is a story and movie that belongs to Japan!"

Although Nanaya was very happy to receive good reviews, he basically just let it go after hearing those comments that praised one person and criticized another.

Those who gave the film medium or bad reviews basically focused on the film's simple special effects and scenes due to its tight budget.

Nanaya had basically anticipated these comments.

The most discussed part about the movie "Kara" itself is the two post-credits Easter eggs.

The method of adding Easter eggs at the end of the film has actually been around for a long time, and it is very common in both live-action movies and cartoons.

For example, the theatrical version of "Detective Conan" adds a gag Easter egg at the end of each episode to relax the audience after watching the movie. There is also the Easter egg at the end of "Pirates of the Caribbean" to supplement some small plots that were not mentioned in the whole movie.

The purpose of the post-credits Easter egg was to let the audience read the list of crew members, because a movie is the result of the joint efforts of many people. Even if they only did a very small job, the staff still wanted to wait for the audience to see their names before leaving, even if the audience had never noticed their names.

But gradually, the post-credits Easter eggs have taken on a different meaning. For example, in a movie series, the post-credits Easter eggs sometimes also serve as a preview of the next film.

In this regard, no one is better at playing with Easter eggs than the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Through 23 movies in 3 phases over 11 years, Marvel has taught the audience one thing they should do as an audience - watch a movie to the end.

Even later, when Nanaya watched other movies in his previous life, the entire theater was filled with complaints because there were no Easter eggs after the movie credits were shown.

For Nanaya, who believes in the principle of taking what is available, a cat that catches mice is a good cat, regardless of whether it is black or white. Nanaya would certainly choose to use the Easter eggs at the end of the film, which would not affect the narrative rhythm of the main story and could lay the foundation for the world for the audience.

And the effect is very obvious. After watching the movie, many viewers were very interested in what Araya Souren said at the end, and even tried to analyze it word by word, trying to guess the story of the next "Kara no Kyoukai".

Although they could guess that "the one with a double body that floats by clinging to death" was referring to Fujou Kirie, they could not confirm the remaining two. Many of them speculated that "the one who escaped death and had his own self" might be referring to Ryougi Shiki, but since the sentence did not mention the [Mystic Eyes of Death Perception], they could not get a definite answer.

Therefore, with too little information, there have been a lot of wild speculations and random analyses. Although these speculations may not be correct, the joy they bring to the spectators has kept the movie hot, just like the high temperature in August.

With the arrival of Monday, August 21st, Linbao Company obtained the first week box office results of "Kara no Kyoukai". Although the box office of 54 million yen cannot be called full, considering that the overall audience evaluation is above the [good] level, "Kara no Kyoukai" obviously has the potential to be a big hit.

Compared to other film markets where films are usually released for only one or two months, films in the Japanese film market can obviously survive longer. Some hot-selling films can be shown for half a year without any problem.

In Nanaya's memory, Disney's "Frozen" once topped the box office in Japan for 13 consecutive weeks, which was simply unimaginable in other regions.

"The first week performance of Kara no Kyoukai was good. We will continue to work hard and expand the scale of screening as much as possible."

At the morning meeting of [Linbao] on Monday, Ryutani Nobuyuki announced the news to everyone.

When he said this, Ryutani Nobuyuki's expression could be described as righteous, as if he was talking about the matter at hand, as if the reason he did this had nothing to do with the fact that part of the investment in this movie was from his granddaughter.

No manager from any department present had any doubts about the boss's speech. After all, the data in front of everyone was the best proof. A movie with the potential to be a big hit was a clear achievement in front of everyone, and no one could resist money.

So after Lin Bao reached a consensus internally, a new round of publicity and promotion for "Kara no Kyoukai" began.

In fact, not everyone agrees with this. The crew of "Snow Crisis", which is also a work of "Lin Bao", actually had some complaints about the company's shift in focus in publicity and promotion.

However, no matter how good a godson is, he cannot be as good as a biological son. In terms of the relationship with Lin Bao, "Xue Mang" is still a long way behind Kong Jing.

Fortunately, "Snowy" has already won 3 billion yen at the box office. Even if the promotional focus of "Lin Bao" is shifted, the final box office will be able to reach 4 billion yen, which is an extremely popular movie. So although they were unwilling, the "Snowy" crew still accepted it.

However, the producer of one film was very dissatisfied with this situation and even protested.

"What a short-sighted bunch!"

After getting a reply from his agent, Hyakumesa angrily threw the newspaper to the ground.

"When my movie 'Campus Window' is released, those guys will definitely regret their decision now! As for that country bumpkin, I want him to lick my shoes!"

His own movie was about to be released, but Lin Bao, as the distributor of the movie, didn't care about his own movie at all, and only praised the movie made by that country bumpkin. Don't those people know that he is the super idol currently promoted by J family? ! The economic value that he can bring is not comparable to that of a country bumpkin!

"Lin Bao is only willing to give us normal publicity." Hyakumekusa's agent was also somewhat helpless. He knew very well what his client had done, so he was not particularly surprised by this result. "But the company will help you with publicity, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"It should be a ghost!"

Hyakumekusa shouted loudly without caring about his own image, "The company's publicity will basically only stay within my original fans. Although this can ensure that my movie has a certain amount of traffic, it will not be a big seller at all!"

[Your movie is originally a fan-oriented movie, what else do you want? ]

The agent thought in his heart that although Hyakumekusa was his client, he looked down on him for what he did. However, for the sake of his job, the agent was not stupid enough to say this.

Hyakumekusa was still sulking. He would never allow that country bumpkin to pray over his head, never!

"Here!" Hyakumekusa came up with another plan, "You go and organize them to buy 10 million yen of box office revenue for the first three days of my movie screening."

"Are you crazy?"

The agent's face changed immediately, not because of the ticket purchase, but because he knew very well that the man in front of him, although he looked glamorous, actually did not have much savings. His client did not have the ability to buy ticket sales at all.

Although traffic stars can bring very high economic benefits, the cost of investing in them is also very high. Even for a company like J-Company that has its own system and can digest internally to a certain extent, the cost of cultivating a traffic star group is hundreds of millions of yen.

Of course the company wants to get a return for investing so much money in you, so usually the contracts of traffic stars in the first few years are vampire contracts, the kind that will not stop until they squeeze you dry.

Of course, if the results are good, future contracts will be appropriately relaxed. Even if one can break away from being a traffic star and reach a truly big-name artist, there may be a chance to obtain a small amount of shares and enter the company's management.

However, as a small star who has only been in the industry for two years, Hyakumekusa does not have much funds to mobilize. In addition, he has a habit of spending money lavishly. Not to mention having savings, even his credit card is always in an overdraft state.

In this case, the agent didn't think that the man could come up with such a sum of money to buy the box office of his own movie.

Hyakumekusa waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Just borrow it from the company. I remember the company has a budget for this."

The agent's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he had a bad feeling.

As an idol economic company, J-House does have such a budget. It uses the high box office in the first week to create the illusion that the movie is popular in order to stimulate the real box office. Although this kind of thing is not common for those big-name stars, it is definitely not uncommon.

However, this money from J Company is not a charitable donation. Although any artist under the company can use this money, it must be repaid after use, and the interest is almost the same as usury.

However, for those artists who are not well-off and are in urgent need of box office revenue to maintain their image, using J-house's internal funds is obviously safer than borrowing from loan sharks. At least they don't have to worry about being exposed in the media.

But this is still not a good choice. For those artists who fail to pay back the money, the debt will only make them slaves of J family as the interest compounds, and they will be controlled by the company like slaves for the rest of their lives.

"Don't worry, I'm not crazy." Seeing that his agent was about to say something, Hyakumekusa immediately stopped him, "You know how realistic our company is. If I can't show outstanding results, they won't continue to invest in me. So this movie can't fail no matter what. If I fail, I will never have a chance to turn things around. I have to pay this money, otherwise I will die without a burial place."

"Okay, I understand. I'll get ready right away."

Seeing that Hyakumekusa was so persistent, the agent had no choice but to agree to his request and turned away.

It's a pity that Hyakumekusa completely forgot that because of the trap he set for the crew of "Kara no Kyoukai", he had deeply offended the director of his own movie. Or maybe he still remembered it, but just subconsciously ignored it.

However, Hanai Ryuichi did not forget. He had always wanted to avenge his apprentice, so he dug a big hole and waited for Hyakumegusa to jump in on his own initiative.
