Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 144: The "Grudge" whirlwind sweeps North America, Miyano Akemi begins to take action

Of course, Gui Yewu was not aware of the discussions and decisions of the people in the winery.

After handing over Pramiya, he no longer interfered in this matter.

However, he tried to test Toru Amuro afterwards. Although he concealed it well, Takeshi Ono still noticed something.

It turned out to be the winery that did it!
Despite his anger, Gui Yewu actually felt relieved.

Compared to other messy organizations whose details were unknown, the familiar winery made him feel more at ease.

And from the attitude revealed intentionally or unintentionally by Toru Amuro, certain things were confirmed.

The winery probably won't cause him any more trouble for the time being.

Otherwise, Onino Takeshi is really considering whether he should find a way to persuade Kyogoku Makoto to stage a "two great Saiyans join forces to block the door" scene.

Fortunately, the result did not develop in the worst direction.

As long as the winery doesn't cause trouble, he doesn't want to confront them for the time being.

Of course, the feud has been formed, and as long as he gets the chance, he will definitely retaliate severely.

There is a long way to go for everyone.

Although there was a bomb crisis this time, fortunately it was safe and did not affect the release of "ET".

The latter's box office continues to grow at an astonishing rate.

Two weeks later, it had exceeded 28 billion and was very close to 30 billion.

The increase is so exaggerated that it is jaw-dropping.

Stimulated by such achievements, public opinion is overwhelmingly singing praises.

The haters didn't even dare to show their heads, and their voices were drowned out by the cheers.

When a reporter went to interview Yi Tiao Xianyu, the old guy just pretended to be a lazy person and stayed indoors.

Previously, Takeshi Onino was criticized because the box office of "The Grudge" was not as good as "That Summer, the Quiet Sea". Now he has been slapped in the face.

Each of the three films directed by Takeshi Ono has received rave reviews and the box office has been higher than the last, and his reputation as a genius director has become more and more popular.

The entire Onino Eiga was excited and full of admiration for the president.

Gui Yewu was also not vague. With a wave of his hand, he doubled the bonus!
Although they are cattle and horses, they must be provided with enough fodder.

How can you expect people to work like cattle and horses but not feed them enough?
No way, there shouldn’t be such a boss!
After the news was released, Onino Film Studio once again became a sea of ​​joy.

Such a good president, it's really touching, I want to die for him~
If you treat me like a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman!

All the cattle and horses immediately worked harder.

Next, Onino Eiga's focus will be on the filming of "Li Gou Hai" and the operation of "ET".

It doesn’t mean that everything will be fine after the film is released. There is still a lot of work to be done afterwards.

Public relations and control of media opinions, multi-channel publicity, development of peripheral products, expansion of the videotape market, etc.

"ET" has also been submitted to this year's Cannes Film Festival. Now that the words have been spoken, Takeshi Ono will naturally fulfill his promise.

Although Toei's channels were used, the main work still needed to be done by Onino Eiga.

Another thing is to cooperate with Toru Amuro's acquisition efforts.

This is also of utmost importance.

At present, the funds have been mobilized and preparations have been made. News has also come from the Suzuki Group that the bullets are already loaded and they will start sniping the Takasugi Group as soon as the trial of Takasugi Toshihiko begins.

There are also many complicated things involved here, and even Takeshi Ono thinks it would be difficult to complete it properly, but fortunately there is Toru Amuro. It must be said that this guy's ability is indeed outstanding. Although he did not study economics and management, he still does a good job.

He is worthy of being the king of working, and his holy body of ox and horse is confirmed!
Of course, Onino Takeshi couldn't rest either. Just as the matter of "ET" was settled, Tatsuo Yamaguchi received news again -

"The Grudge" is about to be released in North America!

After nearly a month of busy work, "The Grudge" is finally going to be adapted into a movie on the big screen in North America.

Although there was some unpleasantness between Takeshi Ono and Thomas Sindorah, Shirley Lansing did not give any concessions and spent all the 30 million yuan of publicity and promotion funds.

Americans are very clear about this. Public is public, private is private. Personal feelings will not affect work, let alone interests.

With such capital investment, the effect is self-evident.

With all-round publicity through television, radio, newspapers, billboards, etc., at least a quarter of the people in the United States know that a horror movie from the East is about to be released.

Some people are indifferent to this, but there are also many who are interested.

Many people are tired of watching traditional Hollywood-style bloody films or zombie films. This movie called "The Grudge" is said to provide a different experience, which immediately aroused their interest.

In a place like America, there is never a shortage of people who deliberately seek excitement, so the market for horror films has always been quite large.

This time, "The Grudge" from Japan feels a bit fresh to these people.

Therefore, when "The Grudge" was released on the first day, the attendance was not low, and was even slightly higher than Paramount's estimate, which made Shirley Lansing very happy.

After all, it was she who led the introduction of the film. If it can achieve good results, it will be of great benefit to her.

So I paid more attention to it, especially after the first day box office came out——

621 million dollars!
The box office is definitely not low and it has already shown a trend of becoming very popular.

According to Paramount's original estimates, the final box office of "The Grudge" should optimistically reach 70 to 80 million US dollars.

But now it seems that it may be possible to exceed it!
Shirley Lansing made the decision directly and increased the publicity efforts!
The next day...$704 million!
Day three…$715 million!
"boom!"

Such box office trends made Paramount open the champagne!

Not only did "The Grudge" have good box office performance, it also received good word of mouth.

Americans are used to simple and crude horror experiences, and have never experienced such progressive psychological thrillers. Screams were heard one after another during the movie.

It turns out that the "bed defense" exists everywhere, and when it is broken, not only Japanese audiences, but American audiences can't stand it either.

Especially when Chikako appeared, she scared the rednecks.

But you have to say that these Americans are pretty despicable. The scarier "The Grudge" is, the more excited people are. As word of mouth spreads, more and more audiences go to the cinema. Some fanatics even watch it twice, three times, or even N times.

Although the national conditions are different, "The Grudge" still wreaks havoc in North America, scaring many American audiences. Countless horror movie fans regard it as a classic.

The images of Chikako and Mori Conan began to gain popularity in America and gradually evolved into a symbol of horror.

When the news got back to Neon, Takeshi Onino also expressed surprise.

He never doubted whether "The Grudge" could be successful in North America, but the enthusiasm of this group of rednecks still exceeded his expectations.

It turns out that you have never eaten fine bran!
Excitement followed.

The original version of "The Grudge" grossed 1.1 million U.S. dollars in North America. If this version can reach this number, the revenue will be considerable. It happens to be another gain for the company since it is currently short of money.

And money is secondary. What’s more important is the success of “The Grudge”, which means that Onino Eiga will become famous in North America.

Takeshi Onino has already instructed Tatsuo Yamaguchi to do this. He must take advantage of this favorable situation to increase the popularity of Onino Film in North America, and at the same time build overseas distribution channels as soon as possible.

But in this case, the young couple will probably have to stay abroad for quite some time.

Fortunately, we have Toru Amuro, who can take on ten people at once!

……

"The Grudge" created a whirlwind of terror in North America, and the shadow of the character Chikako also shrouded the North American continent.

Countless people fear her, but love her at the same time.

This character has also become a classic in North American film history.

But what the audience didn't know was that the actor who played her was planning a bank robbery at the time.

The story is no different from the original one. Miyano Akemi first went undercover in Siling Bank, and then found a few accomplices to prepare for the internal and external cooperation to rob the armored car.

It is said that Miyano Akemi is a "billion-dollar thief", but she can't even get a title of cadre in the organization. It can be seen that the organization is quite competitive and the quality of the cadres is evident.

Come to think of it, these people are either all-round hardworking model workers and the Thousand-Faced Witch like Gin and Vermouth, or they are undercover agents from the Public Security Bureau, the FBI, MI6, the CIA... maybe even the KGB.

All of them are elite talents who have been trained for a long time. Ordinary people like Miyano Akemi, who can only rob a few billion or a billion through low-level robbery methods, are indeed not ranked.

Let’s get back to the present moment.

After careful planning, Miyano Akemi finally decided to take action and embarked on this one-way journey.

Fortunately, this time the two Grim Reapers did not come out to disrupt the situation, allowing Miyano Akemi to successfully complete the robbery.

It went so smoothly that no one was killed, only a guard was injured.

Even Miyano Akemi couldn't help but be surprised afterwards. She didn't expect it to be so smooth.

I had an inexplicable illusion that something that should have led to a bad impact did not happen.

In the end, she attributed it to the fact that even God wanted to help her rescue her sister.

……

Beihu Hotel.

I'm afraid no one expected that a criminal who robbed 1 billion yuan would actually live in a high-end hotel openly.

The room was opened in the name of another accomplice, Hirota Akira, who had no involvement in the robbery, so it was done without anyone noticing.

A total of five people involved in the case were in the room at this time.

Miyano Akemi, two robbers Hirota Kenzo and Kaizuka Shiro, Hirota Akira, and... Kishii Yugen who disguised himself as a security guard to cooperate with the case.

Now that 1 billion yuan has been obtained, the next natural step is to discuss how to divide the money.

But... the atmosphere at the scene seemed a little weird.

On the surface, they were discussing how to divide the money, but secretly everyone seemed to have their own unknown plans.

"We are the ones who carried out the operation, so we should take the lion's share!"

The first to act were Kenzo Hirota and Shiro Kaizuka, who, posing as perpetrators of the robbery, demanded the largest share of the money.

Naturally, the others could not agree and they all objected, each thinking that they had made greater contributions.

"In that case, there's nothing more to say."

Kenzo Hirota and Shiro Kaizuka suddenly smiled grimly, and at the same time pulled out a pistol with a silencer from their arms and pointed it at the three people.

Miyano Akemi and others were shocked.

"What are you going to do?!"

Hirota Akira managed to remain calm and questioned the two men.

Hirota Kenzo sneered: "Since you don't want to drink my toast, I can only ask you to die. Then all the money will be ours!"

Hirota Akira's face changed drastically: "Damn it, you guys want to take it all for yourself!"

"That's right!"

Kenzo Hirota laughed triumphantly, looked at Shiro Kaizuka, and prepared to shoot the three men to death.

However, at this moment, Shirou Kaizuka suddenly let out a painful groan.

In the blink of an eye, the whole person suddenly fell backwards.

Kenzo Hirota was startled and quickly squatted down to check, only to find that he was dead.

Shirou Kaizuka is dead!

The sudden event shocked the rest of the people, and Kenzo Hirota was even more shocked and angry. He didn't expect that his companion would be killed before he could take any action.

"Who did it?!"

Kenzo Hirota roared loudly and swept his fierce eyes across the faces of the three people one by one.

"No matter what, go to hell, the 1 billion yuan is mine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled the trigger.

"boom!!"
