MTL - Tokyo Literature and Art Times-Chapter 42 Sakai Spring's movie viewing experience, "Infernal Affairs" Takeshi Iwata

  Chapter 42 The viewing experience of Sakai Springs, the conditions of Takeshi Iwata for "Infernal Affairs"!

   "It's amazing!"

   Sakai Springs, until she left the cinema, the image of "Ferocious Man" kept flashing in her mind.

   Originally, when I was in my hometown in Kanagawa, I thought the shots of Shinobi and Takeshi Iwata were very interesting.

   They were so happy, the two of them kept laughing.

   Well, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, Takeshi Iwata is expressionless most of the time, but Izumi Sakai can really tell that he is smiling.

   Is this a fan of Iwata Takeshi's acting circle?

   But no matter what, he left a deep impression on the spring at that time, and it also contributed to the subsequent encounter.

   Now, the movie is out, and it has caused such a big stir that even Senior Nakamori has seen it.

  I really shouldn't have watched it too late.

  Quan Shui is blaming herself, although this is completely unnecessary, and she is too busy because of her part-time work, but she is just like that.

   Naturally, "Ferocious Man" also gave the spring a lot of impact.

   Originally thought this was a very warm movie, after all, she only saw those of Takeshi Iwata and Shinobu.

   Even after the name of the movie was made public, she was still very surprised.

   The contrast is too great.

   And when I actually saw the movie, this contrast turned into shock.

  Especially the last shot, not that of Kikuchi.

  The spring was in the auditorium. I didn't expect Ryosuke to shoot my sister at that time.

   But after thinking about it, I realized that the situation was desperate.

   Spring Water immediately began to worry again, Ryosuke would not commit suicide, would he?

result. . .

   To be honest, the scene where Ryosuke died in that beam of light, the spring water was the deepest impression.

   Not because it was Takeshi Iwata, nor because it was the death of the protagonist, but this shot…

   She didn't understand.

   To be precise, I didn’t fully understand it.

   Ryosuke's suicide, she understands.

   But that light, why do you deal with it like that?

What does   light represent, is it hope?

  Why did Ryosuke not commit suicide before, but raised his gun after seeing the light?

   Spring's little brain gave birth to this series of questions, she really couldn't understand.

   But one thing is very certain.

   Sri country one!

  This lens is really the country one!

   But what about those problems?

   Go and ask Takeshi Iwata?

   With the spring of this idea, her face flushed instantly, and she immediately began to blame herself again.

  How can this be! So sorry!

   In short, there is no reason to go, and I am embarrassed to ask.

   It was getting late, and Quan Shui was walking alone on the streets of Tokyo, and her heart was very complicated.

   Fortunately, this movie has another meaning to her.

   Takeshi Iwata and Shinobi have achieved success. Maybe they are not officially debut according to the rules of the entertainment industry, but after all, they are already successful.

  The spring water has to be refueled!

   whispered to himself dryly, and his footsteps became more powerful.

   By the way, Ryosuke is also constantly walking in the movie. What do these scenes mean?

  Maybe, I will meet again in the future, ask this.

   But at this moment, the spring water was bumped.

   A man walked past her and hit her lightly, but the guy was also really rude.

   It wasn't until he walked a few steps that the man seemed to realize that he had bumped into someone. He took off his little black politeness and made an apologetic gesture. Of course, he didn't look back the whole time.

   Is this considered polite or impolite?

  Quan Shui is not a woman who likes to be angry with people, she is just a little angry, but she also found that this man is really weird, especially that little top hat.

   From the back, he looks like a young man, but wearing such a retro-style black top hat, isn't it strange?

   Forget it, ignore this weirdo, and work harder!

  Be sure to catch up with Takeshi Iwata and Shinobi.

  …

   In one weekend alone, there was a box office of 300 million yen, which was indeed a big success.

   But Takeshi Iwata is still very awake.

   Generally speaking, the first week of a movie's release has the highest box office.

   Don’t look at most of the first week, there are only three or even two weekends, but sometimes watching a movie is just a fresh idea.

   In addition, there is also the role of marketing promotion.

  Like many Hollywood blockbusters, the box office on the first three days can account for more than 50% of the total box office.

  So, although it has made a good start, what will the final box office reach?

   He wasn't daydreaming.

   However, RB's movie market is a little different.

   Of course, this information was known by Takeshi Iwata before he crossed:

   First, in the film market of this island country, if the film is not bad, the release time will be very long.

   There are many examples of more than 30 weeks, and even 40 weeks, which is a large-scale release.

   Second, Iwanami Cinema likes to release a movie for a year

   Third, the reputation of the movie and the awards are very important here.

  Summary: The box office of "Ferocious Man" may show a slow and continuous growth.

  Iwata Takeshi's personal estimate, this movie is likely to exceed 1 billion at the box office!

  The producer gets 30%, which is actually a common situation in the global film industry.

   In other words, Takeshi Iwata's harvest should probably exceed 300 million this time!

  RB's current movie market, in terms of box office, is a rationing system. The theater chain has to keep half of it, and the rest is divided between the distributor and the producer.

   But many movies in this country are produced by big companies, that is, the distributor and the producer are the same, so the box office distribution is the box office of the producer, which sounds like a lot.

   As for Takeshi Iwata's current situation, he can't do the distribution himself, and can only talk to big companies.

   This time there is a chance to share, which is really rare.

   You must know that most filmmakers in island countries like to be hired by big companies. The advantage of this is that they can avoid risks.

   Can't say they are timid, because movies are a risky investment.

   At that time, the very famous ATG company started with 10 million yen.

   It was very good for a while, and even the company had 20 cinemas of its own.

  Looking at the many famous supervisors who have come out here, Nagisa Oshima, Masamura Imamura, etc., who have international reputation, can't be counted on both hands.

   But now, the glory has come to an end, and people can't help but sigh.

  ATG, whose logo was designed by Itami XIII, looks like these three letters, but after the design of this famous supervisor, it seems to be a cult symbol full of strange magic.

   Their films are indeed cults, fully accepting all kinds of experimental and even underground films, in short, how to blame.

   Takeshi Iwata thought of this company because the company’s rise period was similar to his present.

   But, he is also certain.

  I would never do that.

  What art! I'm just a Yakuza who wants to change his fate with a movie!

   This is just self-deprecating, and Takeshi Iwata understands in his heart that those famous supervisors may be evil, but he is not as good as them.

   Actually, thinking about these, Iwata Takeshi just relaxes his brain.

   He is currently alone in Iwata-gumi's small office.

   A lamp is like a bean, and the table is full of manuscript paper.

   The script for "Infernal Affairs" was proposed before the Venice Film Festival, and it has been almost a month now, and this script needs to be accelerated.

   The original plan was to finish the script in Venice, but Shinobu really took up a lot of Takeshi Iwata's time.

   I didn't expect to meet Ming Cai.

   This script has been delayed, and now...

Um? Ming Cai?

   I just wrote that large piece of manuscript paper, but Takeshi Iwata grabbed it directly, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash.

   took another piece of manuscript paper, and started writing with a pen.

   I'm afraid no one would have thought that a vicious man like him would compete with pen and paper at night.

  …

   "Shimiya-san! Good morning!"

   "Shimiya-san has worked hard!"

   Early in the morning, Takarazuka Building was busy.

   Shimaya Cheng's footsteps seemed to be much lighter.

   He could hear that the attitude of many employees in the company to greet him had changed.

   The success of "Ferocious Man" can be said to be a...

Big success!

   Taking the example of Xiaoboda, it didn’t cost much at all, and now it has achieved hundreds of millions of yen at the box office just at the beginning. Who else can this be attributed to Shimaya?

   Maybe the distribution fee is not much, but don’t forget, the movie theater is owned by Toho.

   This also produces a linkage effect. If Toho's theater department can support him, isn't Shimaya a big hit for future directors!

   That Takeshi Iwata is indeed a talent.

   "Master Shishoji and Iwata-san are waiting for you in the office."

   "Oh, got it."

   This is not a coincidence, just thinking about it, someone came.

   I had told my assistant before that if Takeshi Iwata came, I would invite him directly to his office.

   should be the "Infernal Affairs". . .

very good!

   Entering the office, Shishoji and Takeshi Iwata also stood up.

   Shimaya is very warm, kind like an old friend for many years, and instructed the assistant... Stop serving coffee, and open whisky directly.

  The office is going to be turned into a bar?

   can’t handle that much, anyway, it’s the director’s favorite, so I’m not afraid of anything.

  Iwata Takeshi came over this time, so he still talked to Teacher Shishoji first. After all, he promised to show him first.

   Now, there is no need to delay, let’s get straight to the point.

   The script for "Infernal Affairs" was handed to Shimaya, and Takeshi Iwata said it directly.

   "Shigaya-san, I have a request, I don't know if I can say it."

   Shimaya, who had already opened the script, nodded immediately, "Please speak."

  Iwata Takeshi was very serious, that is, he said with a blank face: "In this movie, I would like to ask Nakamori Akina to star in it."

  This... Shishoji never thought that Takeshi Iwata had such a mind.

   However, Shimiya hesitated for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face. . .
