"'Godzilla' did not lose! The opponent is a Hollywood movie!"

"That's right! Don't be fooled by the fact that the director is Iwata-san!"

"After all, it is Iwata-san's movie, and it is also a Hollywood blockbuster. It has achieved very good box office in North America, so it is not surprising to win in Japan."

Regarding Toho's current situation, that is, the movie "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" is at a disadvantage at the box office, there are still many people who have come forward to help.

After all, it is Toho, which is one of the largest companies in Japan. Needless to say, it has connections in the industry. Moreover, this movie is still Toho, oh, it can even be said to be Japan's signature big IP.

Godzilla is really a big guy!

Can such a big guy lose?

Of course you can't lose, but what if the person you lose to is very strong?

Then explain it well.

These people who help Toho speak are basically well-known figures in the Japanese film industry, and many of them are old guys with great qualifications.

The truths they said are quite reasonable.

Look, "Fast and Furious" is a Hollywood movie, and Hollywood movies are already very popular in Japan.

Moreover, this movie is still the work of director Takeshi Iwata, who is now the most powerful director.

It can be said that among the current directors in Japan, the one who can be said to have guaranteed box office success is Takeshi Iwata.

Is there anyone left?

No, the rest of the people are a little different.

Who ranks first in the Japanese film market this year?

Hayao Miyazaki!

That's right, Hayao Miyazaki is here, his time has come!

"Porco Rosso", this movie is currently ranked number one.

So, what happens next?

If you open the box office list of Japanese movies now, any Japanese filmmaker will feel a huge crisis.

"Doraemon: Nobita and the Country of Izumo"

"Doraemon: Airplane Love Song"

"Little Lucky Star of the 21st Century: Go to the Universe! Barefoot Princess!"

"Dragon Ball Z The Movie: 6 Clash! 10 Billion Energy Warriors!"

"Dragon Quest: Dai's Big Adventure, stand up! Abang's Apostle!"

"Magic Little Devil Star Movie 3"

Including "Porco Rosso", 7 animated films this year appear in the top ten of the current box office list!

You know, in the 1980s, Japanese animated films did not have such strong box office strength.

From that era, we can see that the future of animation development in Japan was indeed vibrant and very arrogant.

Do you understand that more than one billion yen or even more yen are invested in an animated movie?

However, many movies basically underperform the box office.

Even "Akira", which is currently relatively famous in Europe and the United States, did not earn more than 1 billion yen at the box office when it was released in Japan.

You know, when this animation appeared, Otomo Katsuhiro basically appeared to the world as a super genius.

He was only 28 years old when he drew this comic, and before that he had already produced highly imaginative and satirical works such as "The Stinky Weapon" and "Children's Dream".

But even for a work like this, even for a work like "Akira", the colors of even a traffic light are extremely realistic, and even the facial expressions of many unimportant characters have been taken care of.

Looking at the music, the music used here is a very special and original one. The production team has been searching for music discovered from a certain tribe for a long time.

It’s really a very, very thoughtful animation, and it’s fashionable even now.

But it still failed at the box office.

I'm afraid Japanese filmmakers at that time never thought of it until now.

Live-action movies have been completely suppressed by animated movies!

Currently, the works that can appear in the top ten box office lists are Junya Sato's "Russian Dream" and Takeshi Iwata's "Happy Death Day."

As for "Fast and Furious 2" and "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla", according to Japanese rules, they are included in the 1993 box office list.

However, in terms of the current results of "Godzilla", it is already difficult to rank in the top ten.

But reality is really weird. Wasn’t the movie originally about real people?

It has actually been suppressed to this extent in Japan.

Therefore, many people come out to speak, on the one hand, it is indeed to make money, on the other hand, it is also for their own livelihood.

If they are suppressed by animated films for a long time, how will these filmmakers who make live-action films survive in the future?

The relationship between Takeshi Iwata and Toho has always been good. They did win this time, but the relationship cannot be affected, right?

The gist of what these guys said when they came out was like this, as if they were trying to make peace with each other.

We Japanese live-action filmmakers do not want to fight against Japanese live-action filmmakers.

So, this situation is very interesting.

There is nothing wrong with Toho and Takeshi Iwata, but...

What about the rest?

…

"Oh, it's really annoying."

"Ah? What's bothering you?"

"That's right, that's right..."

"Haha... Xiaoren, you girl, you must have come to me just to talk about this matter, right? Then what else are you hiding?"

"Have you seen through all this?"

"The one who can't see through it is the fool! Haha..."

Shinobu has been really annoyed lately, so he came to see her Akina-san.

Although there are some problems with this, Xiao Ren now feels that Akina-san is very considerate, and Akina-san has probably encountered this troublesome situation before.

What is going on?

Not to mention, Akina is indeed very experienced.

"Actually, it's just...those seniors..."

Xiao Ren began to express his bitterness.

This time "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" lost to "Fast and Furious 2", and the one who faced the greatest pressure turned out to be Xiao Nin.

And this pressure comes more from... the artists of Toho.

From a professional perspective, Shinobu is an artist of Toho after all, and Miho Nakayama was responsible for this in the beginning.

Moreover, Dongbao is considered a good place for female artists from all aspects.

Especially when it comes to making movies, they are even treated more favorably than Shochiku.

However, Toho's internal competition is also very fierce.

After all, Toho itself has the Takarazuka Theater Company, which delivers a large number of beautiful actresses to the Japanese entertainment industry every year.

In addition, Toho has launched a Cinderella Contest in recent years.

This competition is really becoming more and more popular at present, although the competition only takes place every five years.

But, just like the Olympic Games, it is only important once every four years.

Look, the Cinderella of Toho only happens once every five years. It seems to be more important than the Olympic Games.

In this "Godzilla" movie, Shinobu originally beat Emi Kodaka, the winner of the second Cinderella Awards, to play the leading role.

It’s already made people jealous, but now they lose.

The loser was Takeshi Iwata’s film.

Shinobu always starred in Takeshi Iwata's movies before. Everyone in Japan knows this, right?

So what happened this time?

Shinobu is indeed not that easy to bully. After all, Emi Kodaka did not achieve any outstanding results after entering Toho.

Therefore, this senior does not pose a big threat at all.

But what if many seniors are making irresponsible remarks behind your back?

Japan is like this, and regarding the current situation, Shinobu had a similar experience when he was in school.
