Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 43 Chikako Ikeda: I have the Suzuki Group, Onino Takeshi, what do you have? !

But others are not as rational as Gui Yewu.

Especially when I heard Muranishi Toru say that the box office performance had surpassed that of "Blue Kingdom", I was even more excited.

Fujita Tora immediately asked, "Can our subsequent box office surpass that of "Blue Kingdom"?"

Muranishi Toru had a smile on his face, but after thinking for a while he shook his head regretfully:
"I think it's going to be difficult. 'Blue Kingdom' has been released for a week and the box office is close to 5 million. The momentum is still strong. Moreover, it is adapted from a novel and has a large readership base. We are inherently at a disadvantage in this regard."

Fujita Tora was immediately displeased, and he grabbed Muranishi Toru by the collar and shook his fist in front of him: "How dare you, you guy, give others a boost!"

Muranishi Toru was not panicked at all, and spread his hands: "I am just telling the truth, but things are unpredictable. If we can still have such box office success in the future, I dare not say that we can surpass "Blue Kingdom", but it is still possible to catch up!"

Fujita Tora rolled his eyes in disdain: "How can a mere "Blue Kingdom" be compared with the movies made by the boss?!"

Muranishi Toru secretly curled his lips and said, "Don't think I don't know that you didn't take this movie seriously before!"

Only Muranishi Toru had the foresight to recognize the excellence of this movie and director Onino!

Joined in time!
But he certainly wouldn't confront Fujita Tora, so he agreed, "That's right, Boss Saigo!"

Others followed and shouted:

"Boss Saigo!"

Gui Yewu looked at them making a mess, smiled and shook his head.

He doesn't care whether he can surpass "Blue Kingdom". He made this movie not for art but to make money. Any comparison is meaningless. The money in his pocket is the most real.

According to the current profit sharing ratio, he can get about one third of the 2 million box office, which is close to 7000 million yen!
And how much did it cost him? 800 million!
800 million VS 7000 million!
Almost ten times the profit!

Blood earned!
And this is just the beginning!
Onino Takeshi is in a good mood!
……

It was not only Takeshi Onino who was in a good mood, Kenichi Kikuchi was also in high spirits.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately notified all Toei-affiliated cinema chains to increase the number of screenings and fully release "That Summer, the Quiet Sea"!
Before, he just wanted to comply with the requirements of the Suzuki Group, and he did not think highly of Onino Takeshi and his movies. Although he strongly supported them, it was limited to the scope of his power.

However, at this moment, the first week box office performance of "That Summer, the Quiet Sea" gave him great surprise and unexpectedness, and then he realized that the opportunity had come.

Even with the Suzuki Group's involvement, some rules still had to be followed. However, the box office results at this moment were real achievements, which gave Kikuchi Kenichi full confidence in convincing the board of directors to mobilize the entire Toei resources to fully support the film "That Summer, the Quiet Sea".

At the same time, he also saw an opportunity, an opportunity that might allow him to go further!

Based on his qualifications, he has already qualified, all he lacks is an outstanding performance!

"Guino Takeshi, you really are my lucky star..."

Kikuchi Kenichi muttered to himself, raised his red wine glass and took a sip.

……

Some people are in a good mood, while others are in a very bad mood.

boom!
A cup was smashed to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Looking at the news in the newspaper, Chikako Ikeda's face turned pale.

Especially the glaring words "200 million" box office on it, and the glaring headline "The first week box office of "That Summer, the Quiet Sea" is released, surpassing "The Blue Kingdom" to top the list!" made her furious.

It’s just the first week’s box office, there’s no point in being number one!
The box office of "Blue Kingdom" has exceeded 4 million and is heading for 5 million!
The difference is more than twice, what a shame to catch up with that crappy movie!

Chikako Ikeda cursed in her heart these headline-grabbing people who were just trying to make trouble.

As the original author (?) of the novel "Blue Kingdom", and also the screenwriter (screenwriter) and director (live director) of this movie, Chikako Ikeda was naturally very upset that this crappy movie that came out of nowhere broke her movie's first-week box office record. Originally, she had just won the Best New Screenwriter Award last year, and this year's movie was a huge success, with the box office soaring. Chikako Ikeda was originally very proud and elated.

However, a guy whose name no one had ever heard of and his three-no movie suddenly emerged and created a huge sensation, which immediately ruined her good mood.

At first, Chikako Ikeda didn't take it seriously. In every aspect, the gap between the two was indescribable.

No matter how big the fanfare is, it is just a loss-making business and poses no threat to the "Blue Kingdom".

At most, the detective named Kudo Shinichi is somewhat famous, but he is a complete newcomer in the entertainment industry. What appeal does such a person have?
Chikako Ikeda gave a direct "Queen's Contempt".

Xiaohuhu is just a scumbag, nothing to be afraid of!
However, when she woke up, she was shocked to find that everything had changed.

The media were all reporting crazily about the movie "That Summer, the Quiet Sea", and they were constantly touting that its first-week box office broke the record of "The Kingdom of Blue".

It seems that the former is taking off strongly, while the latter is in danger.

Although she knew that these media outlets were just making groundless accusations, exaggerating, and hoping for unrest in the world, Chikako Ikeda was still very angry.

What kind of rotten sweet potato and rotten bird egg dares to come and touch my movie? !
There was a flash of coldness in Chikako Ikeda's eyes, and her face, which looked very mean, was covered with frost.

"No, we can't just let it go."

Although she did not admit it, Chikako Ikeda felt a little uneasy inside and was wary of the movie "That Summer, the Quiet Sea".

In fact, the first week box office of "Blue Kingdom" was only 180 million, which is indeed inferior to "That Summer, the Quiet Sea".

Although people may say it with disdain, the box office of "That Summer, the Quiet Sea" is real.

It can be called a dark horse!
Such a rapid momentum made Chikako Ikeda feel a sense of crisis.

I thought about it.

Chikako Ikeda picked up the phone, ready to trip up the other party, but the phone rang suddenly.

It was the director of "Blue Kingdom" who called.

"Moshimoshi, Director Kishida? Yes, I saw the report. Of course, I can't just let it go. What, the company is planning to dig up dirt to create public opinion? Great, this time, that Takeshi Ono is dead!
He looks like a Yakuza, how can he be a good person! Okay, I'll wait for the news!"

After hanging up the phone, a sneer appeared on Chikako Ikeda's lips.

"The box office champion is mine, and no one can take it away from me!"

She was in a good mood and was about to go back to take a nap when the phone rang again.

"Moshimoshi? Oh, it's Ayako... a party in two weeks? Sure, I'll be there!"

After hanging up the phone, Chikako Ikeda felt a little better again.

The person on the other end of the phone is the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group.

She, Chikako Ikeda, is the best friend of the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group!

The kind that gets together once a year!

Chikako Ikeda stared down at the photo of Onino Takeshi in the newspaper, and immediately showed her contempt like a queen again——

"Humph, I have the support of the Suzuki Group, Onino Takeshi, what do you have to fight me?!"
