Chapter 413 Movie Achievements

Author: Sima Guitai

The actors of both crews are all in place, and the official filming has finally begun. The opening ceremony is scheduled to be held in the morning and afternoon of the same day in order to stagger the time so that Kei Fujiwara can participate in the opening ceremony of the two dramas.

The filming locations of the two dramas are not far away, and they often see each other, but sparks often fly when they meet. Although they won't get into fights, it is common for them to bicker occasionally.

That is to say, in front of Fujiwara Kei, the two sides seemed to be somewhat harmonious.

The makeup team responsible for "Blue Life and Death" this time is unprecedentedly luxurious. Take the costume team as an example. The staff prepared more than 400 sets of costumes for the male protagonist Nagasawa Ken. In almost every episode, the male protagonist

The Lord has to change into several sets of clothes.

The person responsible for the styling is the top team in the Japanese broadcasting industry, and the money they paid is enough to hire another national idol.

However, in Kei Fujiwara's view, this is a necessary expenditure.

Many people regard the bloody routines of Korean dramas as the essence of Korean dramas. However, these routines are not so difficult to copy, but few people can produce as fascinating plots as Korean dramas. Some Chinese love idol dramas can be regarded as loyal apprentices of Korean dramas, but after learning

I have been studying here and there, but I have learned all the different things.

Even some TV dramas that were once popular in South Korea were adapted into mainland versions, but the final results were disastrous.

Adaptation does have to take the blame. Many excellent scripts have been stretched and filled out, and the background has been changed, but the results are terrible. But the script is not the only reason for the success of Korean dramas. The director's level, service, equipment, and complete industrial system are all at the level of Korean dramas.

The reasons for the conflict in Asia.

In an idol drama with a lot of investment, the male protagonist wears hundreds of costumes. This is not a rare thing in the production process of Korean dramas in the future, but in the eyes of the Japanese crew at this time, this is really too extravagant.

You know, Kei Fujiwara's first work "Long Vacation", the male protagonist only had a dozen outfits, and the final ratings were also very good, wasn't it? Now that it's suddenly so luxurious, maybe it's not necessary.

Fujiwara Keinori did some calculations. Hundreds of sets of costumes are not as expensive and extravagant as imagined. In fact, who will buy the costumes for shooting activities? Just rent them, but it will be more troublesome. Even counting the use period

Compensation for accidental soiling and damage is natural wear and tear, and the loss is not huge.

The visual effect that Kei Fujiwara hopes to achieve in the finished product is that the male protagonist, as the son of a wealthy family, must fit the character and the clothes must not be the same every time he appears.

In fact, when filming "Tokyo Cinderella", I had already seen the importance of makeup. During the show's launch, Fukuyama Station received many letters from viewers. Although Kei Fujiwara would not open these letters one by one.

You can read it, but there will also be a dedicated person who will read the content of the letter and then summarize the feedback to Kei Fujiwara.

Many of them said in a joking tone:

"Haha, why does the male protagonist always wear a suit, even on dates? Does it mean that dating the female protagonist is considered a job? Hahaha, I'm just kidding."

"Why does it feel like the male protagonist doesn't look like a rich man, but more like a social beast? Is it a problem with his acting skills? Well, it's hard to say. But overall, this is a very good drama. Come on."

"The male protagonist is a bit like my husband, but my husband is just a salaryman with an annual salary of about 6 million. Does it turn out that the young master is like this? Haha, maybe my husband is also a hidden rich man. I'll ask him when I get home.

ask him."

"I feel that the male protagonist is not fashionable enough, but he is still very handsome."

Although this kind of opinion letters does not account for a large proportion of all letters, for a large base, no matter how small the proportion is, it is a huge amount, and Fujiwara Kei can't help but pay attention to it.

He silently compared "Tokyo Cinderella" with a series of Korean dramas such as "Chunxiang" and "Winter Sonata", secretly feeling in his heart that idol dramas are catnip for women, and Korean dramas obviously know how to do this better than Japanese dramas.

Please women.

In addition to attractive plots, one thing that Korean dramas like to do is to spare no effort to create the hero's sense of wealth and fashion.

So much so that when the male protagonist of a Korean drama appears, he always seems to be surrounded by a halo of light.

Japanese dramas are accustomed to using ordinary people as the protagonists. For example, in "The Long Vacation" and "A Beautiful Mind", the male protagonists are all down and out. So much so that the Japanese drama team is no longer afraid of ordinary people. When they started filming Gong Zi Ge, they didn't seem so

So professional.

As for the real rich second generation, they are not the kind who can't wait to change three sets of clothes a day, always have exquisite makeup, and have someone waiting on them whenever they raise their hands or feet... Who cares? Shooting a TV series is not a real documentary, the point is

It caters to the imagination and expectations of the audience.

…

Filming has officially started, and publicity resources have also begun to be pulled in. Fanxing Channel and TTV have given Fujiwara Kei a full hand this time, and almost all the best publicity resources have been allocated to these two dramas. No one in the station complained, after all, the situation

I don’t know, but Kei Fujiwara’s past performance was really terrible. Now it’s easy to get slapped in the face if you complain. It’s not too late to protest again after this drama is a hit and hits the street...

The box office results of "Confession" have come out. Kei Fujiwara is naturally the second largest beneficiary. He is the largest investor, screenwriter and director, and received about 500 million in box office revenue. Of course, the biggest beneficiary is Matsushita.

Japanese movies.

Although their investment is not large, they are issuers, issuing plus investment, excluding some necessary operating costs, their income is higher than Kei Fujiwara.

This also made Kei Fujiwara determined to expand his film business department and have sufficient theater resources, otherwise he would have to give up most of his income to the five major film and television companies.

Of course, if the initial follow-up investment had successfully entered the crew's account, they would have made even more money. Because of Nobi Shisuke's temporary cancellation decision, Matsunichi Pictures lost hundreds of millions in revenue.

Therefore, Nobi Shisuke has been a little embarrassed recently because of this matter. Matsunichi Pictures is not monolithic. Any company that develops to a large scale will gradually have factions, especially companies where the founder is no longer involved in actual operations. The president is selected by the board of directors.

companies that came out.

Eiji Shirai has left, but Eiji's former camp is still there, always bragging in front of the board of directors, claiming that Shigesuke Nobi does not have a strategic development vision or even the ability to judge, so he gave up a large share of the "Confession" movie box office

opportunity, and even forced Eiji Shirai, who had such vision and ability, away.

Although this kind of remarks will not affect Nobi Shisuke's status as president for the time being, they are disgusting enough to make him irritable. When people are irritable, they always want to vent it out.

When Usami Sakura, the woman who had a quarrel with Fujiwara Kei, came to the company in the past two days, the corners of her mouth were broken, and one cheek was also a little red and swollen. According to her, she accidentally fell on the road. These days, the siblings

He is also extremely honest in the company...

As a box office success that has not been seen for a long time, "Confession" is destined to leave a mark in the history of Japanese movies. Especially for the category of suspense movies, "Confession" can be regarded as one of the top three in Japanese film history.

work.

In a while, major film industry events such as the Tokyo Film Festival and Broadcasting Awards will be held again. Senior filmmakers all know that "Confession" will have a place. It is very likely to win the Best Director Award at the Broadcasting Awards, and once this

Winning the award means that Kei Fujiwara once again has a new title - a well-known film director.

Writer, TV screenwriter, film supervisor... shrouded in triple golden bodies, Kei Fujiwara will become one of the few top talents in the Japanese literary and artistic circles.

If he can also achieve success in the film industry, broadcasting industry and literary industry, then there will be no problem in calling him "godfather".

To take a step back, even if the movie "Confession" did not win any awards, the box office success of this movie alone is already an amazing achievement.

Any achievement must be viewed in the context of the time in which it was achieved, and Fujiwara Kei's "Confession" appeared at a very coincidental time. It coincided with a very sluggish film market, and there was even a wave of theater closures, and the previous year it was a domestic production

Appeared during the cold winter at the box office.

A movie has twice the highest box office of last year. This is like a shot in the arm for theater operators, so much so that many small operators who plan to sell their theaters plan to hold on for a while. For this reason alone, Kei Fujiwara has

For the entire Japanese film industry, his merits are immeasurable. All the five major film companies have to thank him.

The final box office of this movie was 4.958 billion. It was as if fate was deliberately playing a joke on Kei Fujiwara. The film was only a few tens of millions away from the goal he set himself and the predicted box office in the newspaper.
