"The work of Hayato Minato, the representative of the new generation of actor and director, is very popular among fans!"
"Looking at the importance of the fan base from "Rurouni Kenshin", will the world be dominated by manga-adapted film and television dramas in the future?"
"A model of commercial cooperation for period dramas! An action blockbuster you have to watch - "Rurouni Kenshin"."
"The box office is soaring, exceeding 1 billion in the first week, a record-breaking movie!"
"The new director breaks through barriers, and the national treasure-level handsome guy is also a unique genius in directing!"
""Rurouni Kenshin" is a smash hit at the box office, and it's still rising after the New Year holiday!"
"Be careful! Yingzhou is about to welcome a world-class director again!"
...
The above are all the changes in the wording used by the media when reporting "Rurouni Kenshin" during this period. Because of the quality of "Rurouni Kenshin" itself, from the beginning, the media received much more positive reviews than negative reviews.
But it can also be seen from it that the main tone at the beginning was that the success of Hayato Minakami mainly relied on the fans of the original manga and the spending power of Hayato Minakami's own fans. In addition, everyone had time and money during the New Year holiday. This was achieved achieved such an effect.
But later, their biggest rival "Sengoku" continued to fail, and its box office reputation plummeted. When "Rurouni Kenshin" also overtook it and took the top spot in the mainland, the media was full of cheers and appreciation. .
"The Sword Comes"
Just as Hayato Minakami predicted after sleeping through the entire "Sengoku", the point of overtaking came much sooner than expected. During the New Year's Day holiday and the desire for revenge consumption after watching a bad movie, "Rurouni Kenshin" perfectly received The audience was stunned by "Warring States".
Although "breaking records" and the like in the media are just bragging, after all, "Spirited Away" is a big mountain. It is really hellishly difficult for a live-action movie to break the box office record of animated movies on this land, but it was successful in the first week. Breaking the billion mark is something worth bragging about.
After the collapse of "Sengoku", Hayato Minakami and Nao Fujiwara hit it off and adjusted the publicity plan. Hayato Minakami devoted himself wholeheartedly to publicity and invited the leading actors to promote it everywhere, while Nao Minakura and Nao Fujiwara The film distributors from various Asian countries who came to the door started negotiations, so after the second week, Minato Hayato and the others expanded the scope of their promotion to the entire East Asia and even Southeast Asia.
When something becomes a trend, people will flock to it and chase the trend. Before you know it, people around you seem to have started discussing it. As long as you don’t want to be out of touch with your friends and society. , you must keep up with this trend. This is a unified rule around the world.
Many people must have read some animated cartoons or "school violence" is an enduring topic in this land, and the simplest and most common way is to play with a group of people and then ignore one of them, "being raped" "Ignore" is a nightmare that many people have on their way to growth.
So in Sakura Island, in order not to be ignored, they will try their best to chase every trend, just like those "bubble milk tea trends". After "Rurouni Kenshin" became a trend, that's when Hayato Minato made a lot of money. .
As a result, Hayato Minato, who has achieved both box office and fame, was even mentioned in the news as a reserve for world-class directors such as "Future Takeshi Kitano" and even "Future Akira Kurosawa".
Of course, this is not just the media and fans bragging.
The original version of "Rurouni Kenshin" that Hayato Minakami had watched in his previous life was certainly an excellent movie, but it also had many problems, especially in terms of rhythm. The martial arts scenes were directed by Takeshi who worked on the Universe Dan team, so they were clean and neat. It's a pleasure to watch, but the drama still has the inherent style of Yingzhou movies - procrastination.
The rhythm problem is one of the reasons why it is difficult for Yingzhou to produce Hollywood-style blockbusters, but at the same time, it has indeed spawned many good movies with unique styles.
However, Mizuna Hayato knew from the beginning that what he was shooting was not an animated film, nor a Takeshi Kitano or Akira Kurosawa style film, but a purely commercial blockbuster, so he spent several months editing intermittently, and finally achieved the goal what he thought was perfect.
This kind of "perfection" has also been recognized by many well-known directors in the industry. Many people have commented that this is a rare commercial movie for Yingzhou. In the future, Yingzhou will have great potential in commercial blockbusters. There is even a director who specializes in making romance movies. The director said that he has learned how to do it, and he will make a blockbuster next film, and it will be just around the corner to overtake Hollywood.
It is worth mentioning that Takeshi Kitano, who was obsessed with Crazy Art, also went to see the movie and gave it a favorable review in an interview, and made it clear that he was optimistic about the future of Hayato Minakami.
He himself also wears many hats, being both a comedian and a great director. He has no discrimination against Hayato Minakami, an actor and director. Even during the interview, he even made a hilarious comment: "Look at that handsome face." I'm so angry, how can a human being look like this? It's so unfair, you bastard."
The media and even the audience didn't take it seriously. Of course, Hayato Minakami didn't think that the senior's words meant he disliked him. He also asked Akashi's saury to get Kitano Takeshi's contact information and called to express his gratitude.
With the endorsement of the great director, the hard work of the main creator, and the quality of the movie itself, "Rurouni Kenshin" will have a smooth road after its release. The total box office results continue to rise. No one can predict the final box office of this movie. Where will it stay.
...
A few weeks later, the "great director" Hayato Minakami finally slowed down his promotional schedule. The next movie's box office growth rate can no longer be determined by publicity. If nothing unexpected happens, the box office will gradually decrease. It is already Downtrend.
Although there is a lot of praise from the surroundings and the media, Hayato Minakami is very clear-headed. He knows that the movie "Rurouni Kenshin" can form such a trend is entirely the result of the right time, place and people. Such gratifying results cannot be entirely attributed to he.
If you think about it carefully, the real hero should be the "Warring States" who acted as a foil. Without the desperate propaganda of another eldest lady to create opposition, he would not be able to attract the heartbroken "Warring States" audience in turn.
For this reason, he specially asked Fujiwara Nao to call her lifelong enemy and ask her to thank him.
I don't know what they talked about specifically, but Mizunakura Hayato only knew that it was the first time that the eldest lady laughed so loudly that it could be heard clearly outside the office.
On the other side, the humble Hayato Minakami can finally let go of the burden of being a great director and manage his time well.
