Chapter 501 Oni Takeshi: Failure? Just an illusion! Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone soars to new heights!
When the news reached Japan, the entire Japanese entertainment industry fell into a silent slumber.

It seems no one dares to believe it.

However, beneath this silence, an undercurrent was subtly brewing.

For most of his peers, Takeshi Ono is an insurmountable mountain, pressing down on them and leaving them with no hope of surpassing him.

It can be said that the suffering of the unruly warrior has been long overdue!
However, this time... Takeshi Onino's box office was surpassed?

Although it was only the first day's box office and only exceeded a paltry $30, these people seemed to see Takeshi Onino's failure!
Regardless of the explanation, it is an undeniable fact that Takeshi Onino's film box office has been surpassed, and this is also an unprecedented event.

This has never happened before, but it has now!

That consistently assertive man has actually been surpassed!
Could it be that Takeshi Onino is really going to suffer a Waterloo?

Is my spring finally coming?

Some people couldn't help but feel their hearts race and their eyes light up.

Rivals are enemies. For some narrow-minded and short-sighted people, Ono Takeshi is not the hope of Japanese films, but a stumbling block on their road to success!

I'd love for him to suffer a crushing defeat!

Unfortunately, Ono Takeshi has always been incredibly strong, so strong that they despair, and it seems that he will never fail.

However, this time, they finally saw a glimmer of hope.

Even Takeshi Onino can fail!
So it turns out he's not invincible after all!
Hollywood is awesome!
As expected, America is the strongest!

While some gloated, others were deeply worried. People familiar with Takeshi Ono and his fans expressed their support for him through various means.

In an instant, the global entertainment industry was abuzz with excitement as Takeshi Onino's box office performance was surpassed.

……

"It's alright, it's just the opening day box office. It's too early to say who will win or lose, so what's there to worry about?"

Ono Takeshi smiled as he spoke to Shinmei Kaori, who had called specifically to show her concern and offer comfort.

Although there was much discussion and undercurrents outside, giving the impression that Ono Takeshi's empire was on the verge of collapse, he himself showed no anxiety or unease.

There was no trace of worry on his face; everything seemed normal.

It's as if the possibility of surpassing the box office record doesn't exist.

Hearing Ono Takeshi's relaxed tone, Shinmei Kaori breathed a sigh of relief. She knew her fiancé wasn't one to put on a brave face, so if he said that, it meant he really didn't take it to heart.

After exchanging a few more words, Shinmei Kaori reluctantly hung up the phone.

Oni Takeshi smiled and shook his head; this was already the sixth phone call he had received today.

Without exception, the first few calls were from close friends or family members who were calling to express their concern.

Although he felt warm inside, Ono Takeshi thought they were making a mountain out of a molehill. So what if their box office was surpassed? He didn't care at all.

I'm not a god, and I can't guarantee that every movie will be a smash hit. After all, Hollywood isn't to be underestimated.

This time, "The Lord of the Rings" is proof of that.

It must be admitted that, aside from his overpowered personality, Hollywood does indeed have an overwhelming advantage over the global film industry.

In every aspect, it is far ahead, and even Takeshi Ono can only gain a partial advantage in a single film.

It's simply impossible to completely overwhelm Hollywood.

The real reason for Hollywood's strength lies in America's powerful national strength, which is something that Takeshi Ono simply cannot shake.

Neon doesn't have those conditions either; the only hope lies in the East!
However, Takeshi Ono never intended to single-handedly destroy the entire Hollywood; that was simply unrealistic.

That's fine now.

The reason for such a strong reaction from the outside world is simply because Takeshi Ono previously attacked Hollywood too aggressively.

That's why they immediately became so smug after gaining a slight advantage.

Ultimately, what we fear is not Oni Takeshi, but the other party.

As for being surpassed at the box office, Takeshi Ono is not worried at all.

Does surpassing the box office of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" prove that this movie is a failure?

No, quite the opposite is true!

With a global opening weekend box office of $1.05 million, such a result cannot be described as a "failure" for any film!

Anyone else would have been ecstatic.

With such results, what does Takeshi Ono have to worry about?
The Lord of the Rings' outstanding performance is due to two reasons: firstly, the film itself is excellent, and secondly, it benefits from the full support of Warner Bros.

Even Takeshi Ono knew that several other major film studios were secretly pushing and pulling the film behind the scenes.

This time, he's not just facing Warner Bros., but the entire Hollywood!
Given the combination of various factors, it is not surprising that such achievements have been made.

Takeshi Ono has never denied the classic status of "The Lord of the Rings" and has always regarded it as a formidable rival.

However, he would not underestimate himself. In his previous life, the Harry Potter series was able to surpass the Lord of the Rings series at the box office, and this life would probably be no exception!

What is there to worry about with Oni Takeshi?

Temporary gains and losses don't mean anything, and Ono Takeshi takes it all in stride. On the contrary, it's Warner Bros. and their group that are too concerned, which is why they reacted so strongly after gaining a slight advantage.

Ultimately, it stems from their fear of Oni no Takeshi and their self-perception that they are inferior to him.

Thinking of this, Ono Takeshi's lips curled into a meaningful smile, and he murmured:

"Let the bullets fly for a while..."

……

Oni Takeshi remained calm, but the outside world did not.

As time went on, the situation escalated.

In the end, there were even voices openly criticizing Takeshi Ono, as if he had suffered a Waterloo and fallen from his pedestal to the bottom. However, such voices were not loud; they were merely the reckless pronouncements of a group of radical opponents.

Most people are still quite rational.

The box office of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is already an unparalleled figure, so what right do they have to question it?

It's like an ordinary person worrying about a billionaire. Even if the billionaire is temporarily in a slump, the interest they earn in the bank is still a fortune that ordinary people can hardly reach. Isn't that just meddling in other people's business?

Everyone was waiting for the box office results to be released the next day.

If The Lord of the Rings can surpass Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone... some people can't help but get excited.

Soon, the global box office figures for the second day were tallied.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone... $1.23 million!
It still broke 100 million in a single day, and even surpassed the previous day's figure!
Upon seeing this result, some people felt a sinking feeling and quickly looked at the box office figures for "The Lord of the Rings"—

However, the moment they saw that number, they all widened their eyes in surprise.

The Lord of the Rings... $1.07 million at the box office!
It rose slightly from the previous day, but not by much.

The key issue is that it was overtaken by "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"!

In an instant, the smug and expectant expressions on some people's faces froze.

How could this be?
These people were bewildered.

The excitement didn't even last a day before the situation took a dramatic turn?

Could it be that Ono Takeshi's failure was just a flash in the pan?
No, such a result cannot be considered a failure in any way!
All of the previous events were just their illusions and wishful thinking. No wonder Ono Takeshi never said a single word publicly from beginning to end.

Clearly, they disdain to refute it.

Upon realizing this, these people immediately deflated like punctured balloons, becoming dejected and dejected.

Is that man truly incapable of failure?!
Reality delivered a rude awakening to all those who were pessimistic about Takeshi Ono, and the shock didn't end there.

On the third day, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" grossed 1.25 million, continuing its meteoric rise.

Meanwhile, The Lord of the Rings' box office remained stable, grossing $1.12 million.

On the fourth day, box office revenue dropped significantly because it was past the weekend.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone... $7800 million.

The Lord of the Rings... $6700 million.

Day 5

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone... $7900 million.

The Lord of the Rings... $6600 million. 3.53
Day 6…

Day 7…

At this moment, the voices predicting Takeshi Noboru's downfall have completely disappeared worldwide.

The facts are clear, so how can anyone still be pessimistic?

failure?

How ridiculous that statement from a few days ago sounds now!
When the first-week box office results were released, the world fell silent once again.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone... $6.63 million!
The Lord of the Rings... $5.97 million!
Global silence!

Even though they had already guessed this outcome, countless people were still stunned when they actually saw the numbers.

"Gudong!"

At the same moment, the sound of swallowing saliva could be heard all over the world.

Is The Lord of the Rings great? Absolutely!
Based on the current box office trend, breaking one billion US dollars is a certainty.

Even in Hollywood, how many movies do they produce at the billion-dollar box office each year?
It's even good enough to be ranked on the world's all-time film charts!
No one can deny the power of The Lord of the Rings.

Unfortunately, there's always someone stronger, and The Lord of the Rings met its match before it even got off to a successful start!

With a difference of nearly 70 million, even the most shameless person cannot find an excuse for "The Lord of the Rings".

Lost!

A complete loss!

Almost instantly, the high-spirited excitement that had permeated Hollywood vanished!
They lost to Oni Takeshi once again, lost to that terrifying man!

Warner Bros. executives could only manage a wry smile.

The success of "The Lord of the Rings" exceeded their expectations, enough to make Warner Bros. a fortune, which is something to be happy about and celebrate.

However, their attempt to suppress Takeshi Ono completely failed, making them look ridiculous in the face of the soaring box office success of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

This left Warner Bros. executives with no reason to smile.

In the end, it could only turn into a long sigh.

"That man... is unstoppable!"

……

Unlike Hollywood, which was slumped in despair and filled with mixed emotions, neon lights were now filled with cheers.

Putting aside those who were jealous, most of the public and people in the entertainment industry were genuinely happy for Takeshi Onino.

They were proud to have once again triumphed over Hollywood in a fair and square victory.

In the eyes of those in the entertainment industry who had no conflict of interest with Ono Takeshi, his image was elevated once again, and they became even more eager to pursue him.

"Manager Onino... is the best!"
