Chapter 512 The amazing performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean"! Touko, I'm entrusting this to you!
Just as "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was enjoying immense popularity and raking in box office revenue worldwide, causing a sensation, a film produced by Paramount quietly premiered.

It wouldn't be accurate to say it was released quietly; Paramount spent a lot of money on promotion before its release. However, at present, the audience's attention has been drawn to "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone".

The rest were all taken by The Lord of the Rings, leaving not much for this movie.

Compared to the former two, this movie called "Pirates of the Caribbean" was launched with minimal fanfare and did not generate much buzz when it was first released.

But gold shines because it is gold.

Pirates of the Caribbean is a piece of gold destined to shine brightly!

From being virtually unknown upon its release to becoming another film that sparked widespread discussion after "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "The Lord of the Rings," "Pirates of the Caribbean" took less than three days!

To be precise, it was a weekend.

When the opening weekend results were announced, audiences around the world were astonished to discover that there was actually a film that hadn't been overshadowed by the two aforementioned blockbusters—

$7400!
While it may not be on par with "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and "The Lord of the Rings," it is still a remarkable achievement!

Just two days later, Pirates of the Caribbean's global box office surpassed $100 million!
The first week's sales reached an astonishing 140 million!

It far surpassed other films released during the same period, and even surpassed the daily box office of "The Lord of the Rings" on the last day!

Despite the fact that The Lord of the Rings had been in theaters for a long time and was performing poorly at the box office, it was still surprising!

At least apart from "Pirates of the Caribbean," no other film of the same period could achieve this.

But Pirates of the Caribbean's performance didn't stop there; its box office remained strong in the second week, showing no signs of decline and even surpassing the first week, demonstrating a clear upward trend.

Day 8, Day 9, Day 10...

As time went by, the public was shocked to find that Pirates of the Caribbean's performance exceeded everyone's expectations, with box office revenue soaring like a runaway horse, getting higher and higher every day!

In just three weeks, the box office has exceeded $500 million!
With its strong staying power and great potential, it's like another Lord of the Rings!
Not only did it achieve phenomenal box office success, but Pirates of the Caribbean also received excellent reviews, with both viewers and critics praising it highly.

The rotten tomatoes even have a freshness level of 80%!

A box office and critical success!
Such a dark horse naturally aroused everyone's curiosity.

Everyone looked at the director... Toru Muranishi, and didn't recognize him.

Then I looked at the lead actor... Johnny Depp. I vaguely remembered him. He seemed to be a newcomer actor, but he was just an unknown figure in Hollywood.

There are tons of people like that!

Finally, let's look at the production company... Paramount!

Now everyone knows each other!
Everyone suddenly realized what was happening, followed by a moment of astonishment.

It's related to Takeshi Onino again!
Let's look at the screenwriter's name again—Takeshi Ono!

Real hammer!
Seeing the soaring box office, those guys who were planning to teach Takeshi Ono a lesson at the Oscars fell silent once again.

Why!
Why did Onino Takeshi get such a huge advantage again?!
Why is it that any movie that's even remotely associated with him seems to take off like a rocket fueled by a catalytic agent?
Hollywood's crowd who dislike Takeshi Onino are filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred!
But no matter how jealous they were, they could only watch helplessly as "Pirates of the Caribbean" rose to prominence again after "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," becoming another blockbuster film that brought huge profits to the Ghost Wild series!

At the same time, many people realized that the story was not over and that this movie could easily become a series.

If the sequels are as successful as the first one, then this series is a super gold mine, no less than Harry Potter!
Realizing this, countless more people around the world suddenly felt a pang of regret and despair.

How come Onino Takeshi gets all the benefits?
Ono Takeshi didn't care about these jealous guys. Let them be depressed all they want, because I have a cheat code!
The success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" solidified Toru Muranishi's abilities. With just this one film, he was already a world-renowned director!
Not only Toru Muranishi benefited, but the young Johnny Depp also became a popular star, and his net worth increased dramatically!

However, Depp is not an ungrateful person and was not blinded by fame and fortune. He knows who brought him all this and is extremely grateful to Takeshi Ono.

He took the opportunity to express his loyalty, stating that he would rather lower his status than stop acting.

Johnny Depp's biggest worry right now is that the sequel will replace him as the lead actor.

Takeshi Ono certainly had no intention of replacing the actor, provided that Johnny Depp was aware of the situation.

This kid is so sensible now, which makes Oni no Takeshi very happy.

If an "outsider" like Johnny Depp is like this, then it goes without saying that Toru Muranishi, a direct descendant, is even more so.

I feel I made the right choice in following him. Ono Takeshi is such a reliable leader; he really thinks of me when something happens!
Tears!

Boss, I'm loyal!
At this moment, the loyal Toru Muranishi once again arrived at the office of the boss he served.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

"sit down."

Oni Takeshi raised his hand in a gesture, a gentle smile on his dignified face.

"You did a good job this time and didn't disappoint me."

Upon receiving Onino Takeshi's affirmation, Muranishi Toru was overjoyed.

Ono Takeshi first praised him, then paused.

Toru Muranishi immediately composed himself and pretended to listen attentively.

He is a shrewd and grateful person who did not become arrogant or conceited because of his temporary achievements.

Especially in front of Oni Takeshi, what right do I have to be proud of myself in any way?
Seeing Muranishi Toru's respectful attitude, Ono Takeshi smiled slightly: "We're all on the same side, so I won't beat around the bush. The reason I called you here is because I'm not planning to continue making sequels to 'Harry Potter'."

Upon hearing this, Toru Muranishi immediately misunderstood and became anxious. How could such a profitable movie not have a sequel?

What a waste of natural resources!
Just as he was about to offer some advice, Oni no Takeshi waved his hand before he could speak:

"What I mean is, I'm not going to be the director of the second part myself."

Muranishi Toru was stunned for a moment, then his spirits lifted!
He immediately realized why Ono Takeshi had brought him here.

My heart started pounding.

Oni Takeshi smiled and said directly, "I've seen your performance in 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' so I'm going to hand over the second Harry Potter movie to you!"

Muranishi Toru's breathing suddenly became rapid!

It really was just as I had guessed!

Although Pirates of the Caribbean achieved unprecedented success, how could it compare to the sensation of Harry Potter?

The thought that Takeshi Ono was going to hand over the movie sequel that everyone else had been dreaming of to him made Toru Muranishi tremble with excitement.

Developed!
