Chapter 451: Overwhelmingly Positive Reviews! The public attention sparked by "The Vanished She" has the Toriumi Group on edge.

"The Vanished She" evoked different feelings in many people; some were happy, some were sad, some found relief, and some found redemption...

This is precisely proof of the film's success.

The overwhelming media coverage and public opinion surrounding the film the following day confirmed this.

Thanks to the prior publicity and Takeshi Onino's reputation, the number of viewers who came to the premiere yesterday was quite large, and the theater was almost full.

Overnight, discussions about "The Vanished She" spread throughout the country.

You can hear the name of this movie everywhere you go on the streets.

Three days later, "The Vanished She" delivered a satisfying result—

Box office revenue for the opening weekend... 520 million!
It's an eye-opening number, but it doesn't seem surprising when applied to Takeshi Oni's films.

Seeing "The Vanished" leap to the top spot in its time slot, the rest of the entertainment industry fell silent.

Rather than being shocked, they were more likely to have passively become accustomed to it.

Takeshi Oni's movies are just like his appearance—too fierce!

Not only did it achieve phenomenal box office success, but "The Vanished" also received excellent reviews.

However, among professional film critics, this film has become the lowest-rated film among Takeshi Onino's works to date.

Of course, the film itself is excellent, especially the plot with multiple twists and turns, which are both reasonable and unexpected.

However, if viewed from the perspective of mystery and suspense, this movie does have some shortcomings.

As a result, many criticisms emerged, saying that the film had logical flaws, which were only covered up by the acting skills of Yusaku Kudo and others, as well as the fame of Takeshi Ono.

Some even whispered that Takeshi Kiyohide had run out of ideas.

Such sounds naturally reached Oni no Takeshi's ears as well.

He did not deny the first point.

There are indeed logical contradictions and points of contention in "The Vanished She".

For example, it's illogical that Haruki Ito tries repeatedly to prove Yukiko Kudo's imposter identity but fails to succeed.

Could it be that two people who have been married for a year only have one photo of them together on their phones?
Even if all else fails, you can still have wedding photos, right?
Furthermore, Haruki Ito has locked Kiko Kawaguchi in a cage for half a month without doing anything about it. Where is the logic in that?
This is a ticking time bomb. Once it's seen, it will be considered murder, and he will be unable to escape punishment.

Furthermore, Kawaguchi Kiko, knowing she was pregnant, still went scuba diving...

There are quite a few bugs like this.

If we were to list them all, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this movie is riddled with plot holes.

But the audience really enjoyed it!
"The Vanished" is a commercial film, and the audience's sensory experience is paramount.

Moreover, it's not just a pure popcorn movie; it incorporates artistic elements that explore human nature quite well.

Overall, the flaws do not outweigh the merits.

Besides, if there's any blame, it's on Chen Zha Nan and the screenwriter, what does it have to do with Gui Yewu?
However, regarding the second point, Ono Takeshi merely scoffed dismissively.

Has his talent run dry?

Do you even understand the value of being a "cheater"?

Overall, most viewers gave "The Vanished She" a positive review.

Its popularity has also sparked widespread discussion.

It's not just because of its suspenseful exterior, but also because it touches on a sensitive nerve in contemporary society—the crisis of trust in marriage.

The film, through the relationship between Haruki Ito and Kiko Kawaguchi, reveals the distortion of human nature under extreme circumstances.

The former's greed and selfishness stand in stark contrast to the latter's naivety and kindness, and the tragic ending prompts viewers to reflect deeply on intimate relationships.

This has led to an interesting phenomenon in the past few days: the breakup rate among couples has increased significantly after watching this movie!
The girls, who had been deceived by the carefully crafted lies, seemed to suddenly wake up.

After watching "Gone Girl," they began to examine their relationship in the face of the emotional conflicts and choices depicted in the film, and ultimately decided to break up.

Of course, there were also quite a few innocent people who were caught in the crossfire.

While finding this amusing, Ono Takeshi could only express his sympathy.

Another interesting thing is that the number of visitors to seaside attractions has also decreased significantly during this period.

The couples, who were the main participants, all changed their dating locations to other places.

Tourist attraction owner: Damn it!

Of course, most of the above were just jokes.

The real reason for a breakup is never a movie; the movie is just the trigger.

After all, a relationship that can be easily dismissed and abandoned simply because of a movie and not because of anything else is destined to be short-lived.

Besides these, viewers are also enthusiastically discussing the plot.

The most discussed topic is whether Haruki Ito really regretted his decision after learning that Kiko Kawaguchi was pregnant.

What is it that he truly regrets?

Another discussion concerns the "seascape" that Kawaguchi Kiko saw before she died.

Some observant viewers have boldly speculated that the "seascape" that Kawaguchi Kiko saw before her death might not have been a school of fish at all!

Before her tragic death, a dark jellyfish had entered her field of vision! This jellyfish, which looks like the moon from the side, prefers to live in the cold waters of the ocean and is nicknamed "Lover's Tears".

It is ferocious and highly venomous; those stung by it are prone to severe hallucinations.

Logically speaking, the underwater starry sky formed by schools of fish is actually very difficult to see at night.

Therefore, the "seascape" that Kawaguchi Kiko saw before her death may have been nothing more than a final hallucination caused by the intertwining of her obsessions and poison!
This truth is so cruel it's chilling!
Because the underwater starry sky that Kawaguchi Kiko longed for most turned out to be nothing more than a poisonous illusion, just like her husband's love.

This argument immediately garnered considerable support.

With some in favor, others naturally opposed, thus sparking a more intense debate.

In short, everyone's attention has been completely focused on "The Vanished" these past few days, and its unprecedented popularity has made the whole nation pay attention to this movie.

Box office revenue naturally soared, and more importantly, public interest remained high!
Oni no Takeshi has achieved his goal!
……

Thanks to the popularity of "Missing Her," discussions about the film's plot naturally extended into real life.

Thus, Haruki Toriumi once again came into the public eye.

There's no way around it; the similarities between the two are just too high, or rather, Oni Takeshi's direction is too obvious.

They didn't even bother changing the names, simply naming the male and female leads Haruki Ito and Kiko Kawaguchi, practically blatantly telling the public:

"That's right! I'm just riding the wave of popularity!"

This is the opinion of the uninformed public, while another group understands the deeper meaning behind Ono Takeshi's actions.

Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Liu Bang!
From beginning to end, Takeshi Ono's original intention in making this film was to reverse public opinion and make Haruki Toriumi pay the price he deserved!

This is why Yusaku Kudo was willing to humble himself, Yukiko Kudo was willing to make a comeback, Eri Kisaki and others were willing to cooperate in the performance, and even the entire crew was willing to work overtime to speed up the filming.

Everyone wants to get justice for poor Motoko Kawaguchi!
Our goal has been achieved!
Because of the striking similarities in their behavior, Haruki Toriumi is almost a real-life replica of Haruki Ito. Under the influence of this overwhelming sense of déjà vu, the audience's anger towards Haruki Ito was immediately directed at Haruki Toriumi.

If this guy were innocent, that would be one thing, but the police already have conclusive evidence that Haruki Toriumi is undoubtedly the murderer of his fiancée!

However, the Tokai Group had previously exerted its influence behind the scenes, guiding public opinion and confusing the public.

But none of that matters now.

Under the huge wave stirred up by "The Vanished She", all pretense and underhanded tricks will be torn to shreds!

Haruki Toriumi was blatantly exposed to the public eye.

The public is outraged by this real-life "Haruki Ito"!

Many people who were previously unaware of or did not pay attention to this case have begun to follow it after being influenced by "The Vanished She".

Public opinion is escalating!

Under the covert manipulation and guidance of Takeshi Onino, the police timely disclosed all the evidence to the outside world.

With the evidence irrefutable, Haruki Toriumi had no way to refute it, and under the influence of public anger, no one would have any sympathy for him anymore.

As a result, Haruki Toriumi once again became the target of public condemnation.

The Toriumi Group behind Haruki Toriumi never expected that the media storm sparked by "The Vanished Girl" would wipe them out!

It was just a movie, yet it managed to generate such a huge public outcry, which far exceeded the Toriumi family's expectations.

Even more critically, Haruki Toriumi's trial is about to begin.

If this kind of public opinion continues, the outcome will probably not be what they hope to see.

And so a call was made to Ono Takeshi's cell phone.

After realizing that public opinion was getting out of control, the Toriumi family finally couldn't sit still and obtained Onino Takeshi's contact information through various means.

Ono Takeshi seemed to have anticipated this, and answered the phone directly.

"I am Toriumi Kurato, and you must be Director Onino Takeshi, right?"

An aged yet serious voice came through the phone, its tone somewhat cold and hard, revealing a hint of arrogance.

Is this how you ask for help?

Oni Takeshi didn't stand on ceremony with him, not even bothering to pretend, and directly retorted.

Who are you trying to impress? You're so arrogant even when you're asking for help. I don't care who you are, I won't put up with this!

Toriumi, the Tibetan man on the other end of the phone, was stunned for a moment, then became furious.

When has he, the chairman of the Toriumi Foundation, ever been so rudely insulted?

Even though the other party was also the head of a conglomerate, in the eyes of a veteran conglomerate leader like Toriumi Kurō, Ono Takeshi was just someone who had gotten lucky by taking advantage of the Tomamoto Conglomerate. Before today, he had never taken the other party seriously.

I never expected this guy to be so disrespectful; he's utterly despicable!
Although forced by circumstances, Toriumi Kurato never felt like he was begging for help, and still arrogantly believed that as long as he asked, Ono Takeshi would definitely give him face.

But now it seems that the situation is not like that.

Toriumi Kurama wasn't truly mindless; although he was angry, he didn't lose his temper.

Based on the plot of "The Vanished She" and Takeshi Onino's attitude, it becomes clear that the other party seems to be deliberately targeting Haruki Toriumi and even the Toriumi Foundation.

Upon reflection, Tokio Kurama suddenly snapped out of his anger.

Realizing that things might take a turn for the worse today, he suppressed his dissatisfaction and spoke in a low voice...
