Regarding this movie, Kurosawa naturally saw the whole plot early in the morning.

Now that it's been filmed and presented in front of him, a film master, what's going on?

"Awu, there seems to be some revisions?"

"Well, it does."

"Ha ha……"

"Then... what happened?"

"Very good! Great! Sparsi!"

The old man Akira Kurosawa is really very happy now, he feels that what he said outside before is all right.

The future of Japanese film will fall on...

But at this time, Morita Yoshimitsu couldn't help but interjected.

"Mr. Kurosawa, Director Iwata, this movie, in my opinion..."

He pondered for a while, although there were some tears on his face, but it was not that serious.

Could it be that he is not full?

Seeing that he had something to say, Kurosawa smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Takeshi Iwata also nodded, he is still doing very well at the moment, quite modest.

But I heard Morita say: "This movie is indeed quite good, but, does it seem to be missing something? Just like Romeo and Juliet, the last two have a tragic ending, so that it can be more shocking. In addition, there is a problem of depth. "

depth?

Morita went on to say: "For other people, this movie is already perfect, but for Iwata-san, isn't it a bit shallow?"

Akira Kurosawa and Takeshi Iwata understood what he meant.

It does make sense too.

After all, Takeshi Iwata is now a famous supervisor, and he is also the winner of the Palme d'Or.

In all of Japan, not many people have won this award, right?

Therefore, the film you directed by Iwata should have depth.

Morita's statement is not offensive, and the question is quite good.

Akira Kurosawa looked at Takeshi Iwata with interest, he wondered how Takeshi Iwata would respond.

Really don't say, this question is really hard to answer.

Takeshi Iwata wanted to speak directly.

My movie has no depth!

That's right, Mingcai and I originally wanted to show our affection and feed everyone.

What depth is needed?

Besides, for a romance film, if you want to talk about depth, this seems a little bit wrong.

Of course, like Nagisa Oshima, he always shoots pornographic images, and then adds various elements of student movements, Red Army, etc. to it.

It is true that he has depth, but it is also extremely controversial.

Nagisa Oshima's movies are very good, quite excellent, but many of his movies are not commercial enough.

Takeshi Iwata has to consider commerciality this time, although he still feels that it should not be compared with "Heaven and Earth".

But many people are already comparing, Iwata Takeshi can't run away.

The commerciality and 'depth' of a film are often opposites.

The film is too deep and too difficult to understand, so it is destined to be a niche.

However, it is not good to answer directly like this.

Takeshi Iwata also has a competitive heart. The future of Japanese movies that Akira Kurosawa said before is not just him.

Yoshimitsu Morita is also a famous supervisor with great potential. He has won more awards than Takeshi Iwata.

Then... there it is!

"Morita-san, what do you think about the ending?"

"Ok?"

When Morita Yoshimitsu was mentioned like this, he couldn't help thinking.

But after thinking about it so carefully, this, this...

Takeshi Iwata smiled and said, "First of all, I have to say that love that isn't tragic can also be very touching. Also, Morita-san, are you so sure that this is the first time Sachiko has 'encountered' like that with Ah Hao?"

This encounter, of course, is that Sachiko came to help Ah Hao like Ah Hao did before.

And thinking about it this way...

Morita Yoshimitsu couldn't help but think of the beginning of the movie.

Yes!

It was originally echoed back and forth.

In other words, maybe at the beginning, it was actually Ah Hao's memory.

And the him sitting on the last tram should definitely not be the Ahao who just got out of the hospital.

Thinking about it this way, what does this back and forth echo represent?

Ah Hao was also trapped on that day?

And he recovered later, and Xingzi was also very gentle to him, and also paid a lot.

Love is mutual.

Yes, you can think of it this way, and you can also...

my God!

So profound!

"Sbarasi!" Morita Yoshimitsu praised and laughed loudly.

In this way, Akira Kurosawa also laughed, the old man was very satisfied.

In fact, he didn't think there was anything good about esoteric at all. For movies, he still watched the box office.

Even Takeshi Iwata has passed a test, and he is quite proud.

At this time, the reporters couldn't bear it anymore.

"Director Iwata, Director Kurosawa, Director Morita...can you answer the question?"

"This movie is so touching!"

"Mingcai! Can you tell me about the future direction? Is it mainly about making movies?"

The reporters counted one by one, and they were all stained with tears.

This is indeed not a very sad love movie, but it is indeed very touching.

No matter how funny the front is, there will be as many tears behind it.

Anyway, this premiere...

Great success!

……

The movie is over.

Xiaoren and her sister also left the theater, feeling a little reluctant for no reason.

"Is that uncle of yours really dating Akina?"

"Sister, why do you ask this question?"

"Inexplicably, I feel that the two of them look very good."

"There shouldn't be any."

"really?"

"Really, I'm the one who knows best."

Miho felt a tinge of relief at Shinobu's words, but she didn't know that Shinobu was hiding something from her sister.

The girl was afraid that her sister's mouth would be unguarded, and that would be bad.

But now... It seems that after the movie became popular, the whole of Japan should know the fact of their relationship, right?

Then, the next most important thing should be the box office.

Can it win the blockbuster "Heaven and Earth"?

……

Chapter 212 Excellent!The first day is the viewing tide!

In fact, the person who cares most about the box office has to be said to be Shimadani.

At present, the entire economy is not doing well, although there is a theory from the United States, that is, the worse the economy is, the better the box office performance of movies will be.

There is also a similar theory, which is stocking economics.

European and American women will consume more stockings when the economy is bad.

Because this kind of thing happens to be something that can make them look decent and affordable.

The same is true for movie tickets, which is a form of entertainment that everyone can afford even though the economy is not so good.

Even in the United States, the pricing of movie tickets is set according to local wages. Generally speaking, a worker can buy an hour of movie tickets for an hour of work.

Namely, most movie tickets are two hour wages.

But Japan is a bit different. After all, this is Japan. The economy was relatively inflated before, and the price of real estate rose too fast.

This cost has also increased a lot, so movie tickets in Japan are relatively expensive.

A ticket is around 1800 yen.

This can be regarded as a median price, and some are more expensive than this, and some are cheaper than this, but it can be calculated with such a price.

In comparison, it is really not low.

You know, in Japan, newspapers and magazines like to use an everyday thing to talk about prices.

Yoshinoya beef bowl.

An ordinary bowl of Yoshinoya beef rice, in terms of price, is 280 yen a serving when it is low, and it can reach 380 yen when it is high.

Although the amount of this ordinary bowl is not large, and most people can't eat enough, it can still handle a meal.

Most of the catering here in Japan is like this, and the amount is very small, otherwise why are there so few fat people here in Japan.

And if you want to talk about more luxurious food, you can count eel rice.

The price of unagi rice for ordinary people is about 1000 yen.

Otherwise, watermelons in Japan are expensive. A watermelon usually costs 2000 yen, which is equivalent to at least two meals of eel rice.

In this analogy, a movie ticket is close to [-] yen, which is relatively expensive.

Therefore, whether the Japanese film market will be affected by the economic environment.

Not to mention Shimadani, even other experienced veterans can't say it's too good.

but!

This time is different!

Iwata's supervisor came up with this "cut a knife", which is really a super bold and interesting marketing strategy.

First of all, will our movie theater lose money if it is cut with a knife?

will not!
