Tokyo Bubble Life

  Chapter 547 545, everyone is discussing "Love Letter"~

  Information is like a typhoon, blowing to cities other than Tokyo at once.

  The Big Three of Shuyou Films are still on the road show, and the influence of "Love Letter" has spread to the whole country.

  In just one week, this movie had an unstoppable impact on the movie market at the end of the year. Even some movies that were planned to be released in the Lunar New Year file had their schedules adjusted.

  Otaru in Hokkaido was originally an outdated small city, but at the end of this year, it seems to have regained its vitality.

  In just a few days, groups of young people ran to the small town to look around.

   "Ah, this is here!" A girl stood at the door of the old house and shouted loudly, "This is where Fujii lives!"

  The boy who accompanied her was also looking at everything in the old bungalow excitedly.

   "Yeah, this red mailbox and the tree inside really want to go in and have a look, is it exactly the same as in the movie!"

  The address here has been marked in the movie, so it is very easy to find it!

The door of the old bungalow is naturally locked. The owner of the house was still living here two days ago, but he did not expect that groups of young people came to disturb him, and some rich people who were not short of money wanted to open this old house. Bought the bungalow.

   And put on an expression that the price is whatever you want, which made the owner almost unable to withstand the temptation.

  The price of some studios soared because of the movie, while some houses were ignored because of the movie. The owner of the old courtyard in Kyoto was already crying at home at this time~

  In the holiday house halfway up the mountain next to it, many people also ran over to spend the night. One by one, they didn’t sleep early in the morning, but they wanted to yell in the yard in front of the house:

   "Are you okay? I'm fine!"

  Sometimes even several people are crying and howling together, almost preventing an avalanche in the distant valley~

   And you must wear a red sweater. It makes the operators very annoying.

   At this time, the mayor of Otaru should be very happy. He actually completed the promotion of the city without spending a penny, attracted tourists, boosted the economy, and fulfilled the promise of the mayor election.

  He probably didn’t expect that Otaru might attract another wave of tourists every year when the snowy movie is re-screened.

  Tokyo Film Academy Award selection committee also received the list of the last batch of participating films at this time, and "Love Letter" was naturally on the list.

  In the office, Fumio Ishikawa, one of the judges, said to Yuyuki Tanaka, the vice president of the association:

  "President Tanaka, Shuyou Pictures has "Hot Blood High School", "Midnight Ring" and "Love Letter". There are so many three films, and they all came to participate in the selection."

  Other companies, even a veteran film production company like Toho Toei, will only focus on one film, and at most two films will participate in the selection if more than a dozen films are launched each year.

  Because when hitting the Film Academy Awards, too many movies will divert the company's resources, and it is very likely to miss the awards.

Tanaka Yuyuki sighed: "The last time "The Tale of the Faithful Dog Hachiko" and "That Summer, the Tranquil Sea" were also like this. However, Hachiko has connections with the film academy behind Director Ido, and ". The group of old guys who have a new trend of film thinking in "Sea" are running for him, and this is the only way to win the award."

   "But this time. It seems that I didn't hear them mobilize resources?" Tanaka Yuyuki was a little puzzled, "Does Shuyou Films really think that the awards are purely based on the quality of the film?"

   Fumio Ishikawa said: "President, the movie "Hot Blood High School" still has the shadow of a film school."

   "Oh, then the other two films" Tanaka Yuyuki thought for a while, ""Midnight Ring", a horror film, it's understandable not to invest in it. I'm afraid Shuyou Yinghua has also noticed our restrictions on this movie."

   "But "Love Letter"? Whether it's the quality, the storyline or the performance of the actors, they are all remarkable. There is no reason not to hit the movie awards?"

   "Ah" Fumio Ishikawa paused, "President, I heard a gossip."

   "Nani?"

"The release of the movie "Love Letter" was completely unexpected. Shuyou Films itself was also very unexpected. The preparations before the release were not done well, and even the copy of the movie was not completed." Fumfu Ishikawa paused , "Could it be that they didn't want to hit the Academy of Film Awards in the first place?"

  Subconsciously substituting himself into the role of Shuyou Yinghua, Tanaka Yuyuki thought about it. Such a well-produced movie, would he let him show without being ready? Don't you want to hit the Academy of Film Awards? The answer is obvious!

   "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Tanaka Yuyuki's tone was affirmative, "This must be a publicity strategy! It's just to shock a tree friend in the entertainment world!"

   "President Er is right!" Fumio Ishikawa flattered him immediately.

  Tanaka Yuyuki looked at the list and thought about it. This "Love Letter" has a lot of overlap with his own "Thin Snow" in terms of the type of movie.

  Although it does not have the historical charm and epic grandeur of "Xinxue", if you look at it purely from the perspective of love, "Love Letter" is more suitable for the tastes of young people today!

   "Fortunately, most of the judges for the selection are of a certain age, but let's say hello to everyone, although it has already cost a lot of favor to suppress "Midnight Ring"~"

   "Naoki Naoyama, why do you have to compete with "Xi Xue"?"

Outside of Tokyo, theaters large and small in other cities have called to inquire. Movie lovers from all over the world, after seeing such a highly acclaimed movie in the newspapers and on TV, are all shocked. I'm complaining why the movie theater where I live doesn't show it.

   "Hi, it's on the way, it must be delivered at noon today!"

   "Please rest assured, the lead actor and creator are here, we will definitely attend on time!"

  Naoki Naoyama and Shuichi Ido were in the car, watching Yoshimura Otomo using the car phone to keep in touch with other people. It was Takeharu Kawahara who was driving, and they had already passed through Nagoya and Kyoto without stopping, and they were on their way to Osaka.

   Fangcun Otomo, who hung up the phone, looked at Shuichi Yitang in the back seat: "Xiuichi-san, the copies of the movie are still not enough!"

  Xiuyi Yitang yawned: "There is no other way. I have already asked three film technology factories to help with copying. But the time is too tight."

   "But several movie theaters in Osaka are asking us for movies!" Fangcun Otomo sighed, "There is only one copy in the trunk."

   "Well~ I can only suffer for the fans in Osaka~"

   Naoki Naoyama hastened to talk to Mui. In the past two days, similar conversations have happened countless times. If the conversation is allowed to continue, it will definitely return to "It's all Naoki-san's fault, it was released suddenly".

   "Speaking of which, how much is the box office in the first week?" Naoki Naoyama asked.

"Only the ones in Tokyo can be estimated, about 40 million." Itou thought about it for a while, "Since this time it will be released in different regions, the settlement of each theater is not at the same time, so the box office of the first week is estimated to be the same. too high."

  Naoki Naoyama is not worried: "It's okay, "Love Letter" is a movie that can be watched repeatedly, and the long-tail box office will definitely not be bad."

   Then several people discussed the next itinerary in the car. After Osaka, at least Kobe, Kochi, Hiroshima, Fukuoka and other big cities always have to go around.

   "There are still three hours to arrive in Osaka. Sure enough, the driving is too slow~" Shuichi Ido complained.

   "No way, because I have to send a copy along the way." Fangcun Otomo reassured, "But after that, you can take the Shinkansen or fly directly~"

   "Yeah, other cities can only be handed over to the film runners~" "They really worked hard, and I guess they will be out of town during the Chinese New Year~"

The distance from Kyoto to Osaka is very short. Along the river named Yodogawa, there are large tracts of farmland and low buildings along the way. Countless small piers are telling people about this famous canal. How countless materials were moved between Kyoto and Osaka, nurturing the early Japanese civilization.

Under the cover of white snow, the rolling hills on both sides of the river bank are silent, watching the time passing by for thousands of years; From time to time, you can see figures braving the cold wind, sweeping snow or transporting goods in the buildings, continuing the popularity of EMI.

  Counting today, New Year’s Day is two days away. I don’t know if we can celebrate New Year’s Eve in Tokyo this year.

   "Yi Taro, Meow Taro, take good care of the house! Don't run around!"

  When Hezi walked out of the Sakura Garden, he turned around and told the cat and dog inside,

   "Yutaro, if you are obedient, let Ni-chan come back and let him take you to see your little girlfriend again! So is Nyotaro, and I will find you a girlfriend too!"

   "But if you are not good, be careful to give you a 'Christmas package'!"

  Although Ying Taro and Miao Taro couldn't understand what the little witch in front of them was saying, they could feel the full of malice in the language very clearly. The two guys could only hide behind the door, not even daring to show their heads.

  Hezi headed towards the station with a lot of things. These were gifts bought by Naoki Nagayama, because he couldn't go back by himself, so he could only ask Hezi to help them take them back.

   "Hezi!" A majestic figure suddenly appeared in front of him, it was his cousin Yong Shanfeng!

   "Brother Feng!" He Zi greeted happily, and the two made an appointment to go back to their hometown together.

   "Why are there so many things?" Yongshan Feng took a bag without seeing it, "Isn't Zhishu going back this year?"

   "Well, he's on his way to a movie promotion now."

  He Zi heaved a sigh of relief, one bag was missing, and the whole person was much more relaxed, "These are gifts he bought for his family."

   "So it is~"

   "Brother Feng also has it"

"real?"

   "Of course, but you have to go home to find it"

   "Haha, thank you so much~"

  The two cousins ​​talked and laughed and got on the Shinkansen back to Shizuoka. As soon as they sat down, they heard some people discussing the movie "Love Letter" among the passengers around them.

   "I'm really touched. My girlfriend couldn't help crying when Hiroko yelled at the end!"

   "It seems that the siblings are also people with stories~"

  The discussion of everyone included all aspects of the love letter, such as the story and unforgettable fragments:

   "I wish someone would draw my face on the library card!"

   "You will be scolded by the administrator!"

  In short, two of the three sentences are inseparable from "Love Letter", and some people want to recommend it to friends to read it again when they are in their hometown.

  Yongshanfeng and Hezi listened to everyone’s comments on "Love Letter" quietly, and felt a little bit sighed in their hearts. It turns out that the unknown cousin/brother in Shizuoka has been able to make movies that can be discussed by the whole people!

  After listening silently for a long time, Yong Shanfeng asked curiously: "Hezi, who is the person Naoki has a crush on in high school?"

  ". "Yongshan Hezi frowned, "I asked several times, that Baga, Nijiang, is not willing to leak a word! He said that there is no such person at all!"

  Yong Shanfeng didn't believe it either: "How is it possible! If you haven't had a crush, how could you shoot such delicate clips?"

   "Yeah, especially the shot of standing by the window reading a book, it's so handsome!"

  He Zi blushed a little. After all, it was his brother who played the role, so he was a little shy to say it. But immediately lowered his voice strangely: "Brother Feng, don't you think it's a little strange?"

   "??"

   ""Love Letter" was written and filmed from a female perspective"

   "What's wrong with this."

  Hezi's voice became softer: "Actually, when I read it, I thought Ni Jiang was a herbivorous type."

   "!!" Yong Shanfeng opened his eyes wide in horror, "You mean Naoki likes him."

   "Yeah, if it's really Ni-chan's high school memories and the target is a man, it's all reasonable for Ni-chan to become handsome and talented after being dull and weak in high school!"

  Hezi frantically arranged for his own brother, ignoring Yong Shanfeng's increasingly frightened eyes, his cousin was drinking with Naoki Yongshan until he passed out at that time! !

  But after saying a few words, Hezi's tone changed, and he was a little disappointed: "Unfortunately, Ni-chan actually has a girlfriend."

   "Naoki has a girlfriend?" Hearing this, Yong Shanfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

   "That's right. Brother Feng doesn't know. In fact, she is the heroine of "Love Letter"!"

   "Is that Ms. Nakamori Akina?!" Yong Shanfeng felt that today's news was too rich!

  Akina Nakamori is the idol of many younger brothers in the Yamaguchi-gumi! Are you dating your cousin? !

   "Yeah yeah. I even wrote "Snow Flower" for her, the lyrics sound like a love letter."

  Yongshan Hezi happily shared the secret. This matter is related to Naoki’s privacy and cannot be disclosed to outsiders, not even her girlfriends. These days she is suffocated.

  But it doesn’t matter what the family members say, not to mention Yong Shanfeng is also a member of the entertainment industry.

On the crowded Shinkansen, everyone was discussing the movie "Love Letter", but others were discussing the movie itself and expressing their views on the movie, while the cousins ​​Hezi and Yongshanfeng were Discussing behind-the-scenes gossip.

However, what is certain is that the movie "Love Letter" has been uploaded on the train leaving Tokyo, everyone is discussing "Love Letter", and this trend will follow the flow of the Shinkansen to all Japanese Corner and corner.

  Yoaki Tanaka is outside to make the final confirmation on Akina Nakamori's latest album "North Wing", to ensure that it will be released on the first day of the new year.

  But I just communicated with the channel dealer of a large record store. Just when I was about to go out, I heard the chat of the customers who walked into the store:

   "Buy the record of "Snow Flower" first, and then watch "Love Letter"~"

   "Do you regard "Snow Flower" as a movie peripheral?"

   "Hahaha~"

"Snow Flower". In the past two days, Yoshiaki Tanaka also asked about the sales of this song. The people in the marketing department of the record company confirmed that this song will definitely take the number one position in the first Oricon chart of the new year. !

  After all, these days, "Love Letter" is too influential, and even the theme song "Yuki no Hana" is well known by people in Tokyo.

   In the past few days, I have been looking for Akina Nakamori, asking why I didn’t sing "Yuki no Hana" when playing songs.

   "Oh, the next title song will be "Northern Wing"!"

  Yoaki Tanaka sighed. The song he worked so hard to produce was overshadowed by another song by the same singer. The key is that the song still has that unrivaled advantage.

  My family members, who understands this feeling!

  As soon as Yoshiaki Tanaka returned to Warner Pioneer, he was called into the office by Si Linchao.

   "Mr. Liangming, there is no problem with the release of "Northern Wing", right?" Si Linchao looked up at Yoshiaki Tanaka.

   "Hi, I have already communicated with various distributors, and the record has been delivered." Yoshiaki Tanaka replied very seriously, "Wait until New Year's Day, there will be no problem with the release."

   "Then the promotion of Mingcai sauce?"

   "Hey, from the first day of junior high school to work, Akina-chan will have a strong exposure period, with non-stop announcements, offline activities, and handshake meetings." Yoshiaki Tanaka almost arranged all of Akina Nakamori's time.

   "Well, this album is a little different from the previous ones. Akina-chan also provided a lot of opinions. Its sales effect is of great significance to our future production direction. Liang Ming-kun, please work hard!"

  After a few words of encouragement, Si Lin Chao lowered his head and continued working. Generally speaking, at this time, subordinates should consciously bow and leave.

  But this time, Yoshiaki Tanaka hasn't left yet, his face changed.

   "Mr. Liang Ming, is there anything else?" Si Lin Chao was a little puzzled.

   "Hi! Minister Terabayashi, another song "Snow Flower" about Akina-chan." Yoshiaki Tanaka hesitated, "The sales of this song are very good."

   "Ah, you've gone to find out!" Si Linchao said, "It's true. When you hear that song, you know it's an excellent song."

   "But if this is the case, our "North Wing" may be affected," Tanaka Yoshiaki said.

   "Then what is Liangming Jun going to do?" Si Linchao put down the pen in his hand, "Are you going to ask Shuyou Yinghua not to sell that record? Or should we postpone the launch?"

   "This" Yoshiaki Tanaka obviously didn't think clearly.

"Liang Mingjun, there are many reasons for the excellent sales of "Snow Flower", the most important of which is the exposure of the movie "Love Letter"." Si Linchao said, "But when the record was released, there were still many other factors. Yes, for example, it shows that Cai Jiang’s playing songs are also the biggest motivation for fans to buy!”

   "With Ming Caijiang's personal help, "Northern Wing" will not necessarily be inferior to "Snow Flower"!"

   Yoshiaki Tanaka was still uneasy, but after his boss said so, he could only nod his head and say: "Hi, I understand! Then, I will take my leave first~"

  After Yoshiaki Tanaka walked out of the office, Si Linchao's face collapsed, he leaned back, fell on the back of the seat, and couldn't help pressing the Qingming acupoint.

  Although Yoshiaki Tanaka said he was full of confidence, the results of "Snow Flower" in the past two days still gave him a lot of pressure.

   "The singer's record competes with another record of himself. What a strange thing this is"

   ""Love Letter". Why did you choose "Snow Flower" as the theme song!"

   Alas, I promised a fan yesterday that I would finish writing the "Love Letter" section today, but unfortunately I was still close. I started writing the chapter in the early morning, and it may be a little later, maybe at noon tomorrow.
