Chapter 545: How magical should "Magic Hour" be?(1/3)
Chapter 539 How magical should "Magic Moment" be?
"10 billion breakthrough! "Summer of Kikujiro" is a movie full of surprises!"
"Big Impact! Is the sky the limit for Director Iwata?"
""Summer of Kikujiro" carries the hope of Japanese movies!"
Nearly three months after its release, this movie, supervised by and starring Takeshi Iwata, finally exceeded 10 billion yen.
The Japanese media all use the best and most exaggerated words they can think of.
After this movie exceeded 10 billion yen, of course, we all understood that the box office stamina was definitely not enough.
But it doesn't matter.
The famous Iwanami Cinema has made a decision.
This "Summer of Kikujiro" will be shown at Iwanami Cinema for one year.
Iwanami Cinema is different now than before.
The original bookstore has been rebuilt and is now a building in Jimbocho.
However, the bookstore is still there and the theater is still there.
The commitment to releasing only good movies still remains.
At this point, although "Summer of Kikujiro" did not beat "Titanic" at the box office.
But everyone knows in their hearts that this movie will definitely beat "Heaven and Earth".
It can be said that Takeshi Iwata has become Japan's number one director with this movie.
This time it can be said to be worthy of the name.
No matter how much people question Takeshi Iwata, it's hard to say anything more.
Otherwise, this fact would be a slap in the face.
And this movie broke through 10 billion box office itself...
It is true that I have not won "Titanic", but everyone still understands in their hearts.
It's really hard to beat that movie.
Director Iwata is absolutely glorious despite defeat.
It can definitely be said that it has won enough dignity for Japanese movies.
All of a sudden, the praises were overwhelming.
Even Takeshi Iwata and Akina, the most hated couple in Japan, have seen a great improvement in their reputation.
but……
It's still the middle of the year and it's not time to vote.
I don’t know if these Japanese people will make any changes when they vote.
However, someone immediately discovered a very, very important problem!
Where is Takeshi Iwata?
Yes, where is our famous director Takeshi Iwata?
It seems that after the movie was released, this famous director became very unprofessional.
He never appeared again.
You know, when a movie is released, it is definitely the busiest time for the creative staff.
It’s absolutely no worse than when I was shooting.
A lot of publicity work has to be done.
Run around and meet movie fans everywhere.
Get advice from fans and professionals.
This is actually propaganda.
In addition, some will be invited by TV stations, or simply do advertisements or something.
This is the case here in Japan.
There are a lot of processes to go through.
This is the rule.
As for Takeshi Iwata, he's just fine.
After all, Takeshi Iwata's current status is powerful enough that he doesn't need to pay attention to many rules at all.
But if it doesn’t appear at all, that’s not right, right?
In short, those reporters are always anxious now.
They just wanted to interview Takeshi Iwata, but they couldn't.
So where is Takeshi Iwata?
…
Takarazuka Building.
This building is really amazing.
The foundation is Takarazuka Theater.
Many classic plays by the Takarazuka Theater Company will be performed here.
"The Rose of Versailles" etc.
But this is only the foundation.
Go up, it's such a tall building.
Not only is it a good writing room, it can also be used for working.
Moreover, it is also a Toho studio.
Compared to Shochiku's Ofuna studio, Toho's studio has a unique flavor.
One is large, flat.
One is high, standing so high in the core area of Tokyo.
But to be honest, this kind of indoor studio is still in a high-rise building.
There are some limitations in some shooting aspects.
It is indeed difficult to take a wider view of the scene.
However, for some movies, it is still very suitable.
Open the door and walk in.
You can see a city that seems very realistic but also seems unrealistic.
Why do you say that?
Because the buildings in this city give people a sense of time, space and space intertwined with each other.
It has an American style, but it feels old-fashioned and very European.
If we take a closer look at some of the distinctive places, they seem to resemble somewhere in Japan.
After all, Japan is still a country that insists on leaving Asia and joining Europe.
Obviously, it's night now.
But this night, it doesn't seem so dark.
Neon is flashing.
The street lights are dim.
Pedestrians are busy.
A young man wearing a suit and tie walked into a hotel.
This hotel is also a bit strange.
The young man quickly arrived at the second floor.
There is a beauty sitting on the windowsill on the second floor.
She is really beautiful, the kind of beauty that is very, very alluring.
This kind of beauty seems to have magic power, making men's hearts beat faster.
Soon, the young man appeared in her room.
As soon as the two people met, they ignited like dry wood and a raging fire.
