Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 54: Onino Film is on the right track, it's time to buy a car
Shimizu Hayato, who stayed behind, was secretly worried. Suddenly he saw three people coming back covered in blood. He was so scared that his face turned pale, thinking that something had happened.

Then, I learned what had happened from the excited narration of Kenichi Takakura and the other man, who added some exaggeration.

Suddenly, Shimizu Hayato's expression became strange, and the way he looked at Onino Takeshi was completely different!

Before, he only knew that Gui Yewu had been practicing kendo since he was a child, but he thought he was just at the ordinary level. He never expected that he was so strong!
It was truly shocking that he not only escaped unscathed but also returned victoriously when he went into the dragon's den alone.

Although Hayato Shimizu inevitably has many doubts and confusions in his heart, he is very pleased with the growth of Onino Takeshi, and keeps sighing that the Onino Group has successors.

After solving the troubles caused by the Watanuki Group, the lives of Takeshi Ono and others returned to normal.

Just as Onino Takeshi expected, although Watanuki Tatsuzo suffered a great loss and was extremely unwilling in his heart, he was afraid of his martial arts skills, so he stopped and did not cause trouble again.

The matter of investing in the company ended there.

However, both Kenichi Takakura and the other two were seriously injured. Although their lives were not in danger, they had to lie in bed and recuperate for a while.

On the other hand, Gui Yewu recovered immediately after just one night's sleep, which made him sigh that his physical condition was becoming more and more abnormal.

With the shortage of two people, the affairs of Onino Eiga had to be handled by Onino Takeshi himself, and he immediately felt the shortage of manpower.

“Isn’t the recruitment over yet?!”

After processing another report, Gui Yewu finally lost his patience, threw the document on the table, and started muttering in annoyance.

I feel like sitting here dealing with these boring things is more tiring than fighting a game with the Watanuki group!

Kenji Takakura, who was drafted in during the holiday to serve as a soldier, looked at him helplessly.

Naturally, he admired the boss of the boss.

Not to mention that he earned more money from just one movie than an average person would in their entire lifetime, just the stories he heard from his big brother who was lying on the hospital bed about "the gods, demons, and wild swordsmen, and the dog Chen San was so frightened that he peed and shit," were enough to astonish him.

But even such a capable team leader really has no talent in running a company and handling related matters.

The key is that he has no patience. Even if most of the work is thrown to him, he still complains from time to time.

Fortunately, these days are coming to an end.

Now that Onino Eiga has money (although the final share has not yet been received, Onino Takeshi asked Kikuchi Kenichi for an advance of part of the money, and the latter approved 10 million without hesitation), it also has fame, so it naturally cannot continue to be a shell company and must operate in a formal manner.

Recruiting troops and buying horses is imperative.

Before Kenichi Takakura and the other man were injured, they were in charge of recruitment. During this period, they recruited a lot of people, and the structure and personnel of each department were gradually improved and supplemented.

Onino Eiga is becoming more and more like a regular film company.

However, Gui Yewu has been looking forward to finding an administrative assistant who can share his worries, but he has not yet found a suitable one.

As a result, all the work fell on the shoulders of Takeshi Ono, the representative director (chairman) and president (general manager), which made him extremely annoyed.

Faced with Takeshi Onino's question, Kenji Takakura could only spread his hands helplessly.

Gui Yewu let out a long sigh.

Fortunately, it’s not all bad news.

At present, the box office of "That Summer, the Quiet Sea" has exceeded 30 billion, which is far beyond Takeshi Onino's expectations.

This box office result has surpassed the original version (ps), which really surprised him.

But it’s not too surprising, after all, the original version did not win any awards at these three major film festivals.

There's also no guy named Kudo Shinichi starring in the film.

It is precisely due to the contribution of many favorable factors that we have achieved such booming results today.

And it’s not over yet, it’s still continuing to improve.

According to the rules of the Japanese film market, if a movie is popular, it will be released for a long time. There are many examples of more than 30 weeks, and even up to 40 weeks, which is considered a large-scale release.

There is even an exaggerated record of being released for a whole year!

"The Quiet Sea of ​​That Summer" naturally also qualified for additional screenings. Kenichi Kikuchi once asked Takeshi Ono whether the release time could be extended. After some consideration, Takeshi Ono finally refused.

The biggest reason is that after more than a month of screening, the momentum of "That Summer, the Quiet Sea" has lost its previous ferocity.

Today's box office has fallen into a slump, with daily data falling sharply from tens of millions to just a few million, and it is getting worse and worse.

Takeshi Ono understood that the box office potential of "That Summer, the Quiet Sea" had reached its peak.

It's an art film after all.

In addition, the fierce publicity in the early stage also overdrew some of the potential, resulting in lack of follow-up strength.

Toei has estimated that the final box office revenue will be difficult to exceed 40 billion, unless the time is extended and the small amounts accumulate into a large one.

But after careful consideration, Takeshi Ono firmly refused.

"That Summer, Quiet Sea" is not a box office bomb like "Titanic". Even if the screening time is extended, it is still impossible to exceed 50 billion. In the end, it may only be a drop in the bucket, which will damage its reputation and the loss will outweigh the gain.

Rather than lingering on, it is better to cut it off when it is necessary!
Takeshi Ono is very clear-headed. It is only the first movie and there is no need to do anything to drain the pond for fish. Compared with a little profit, his own reputation and that of Ono Eiga are more important.

There is no need to leave a bad impression of being "greedy and having ugly eating habits" to the outside world.

Kenichi Kikuchi felt a little regretful about this, but he also expressed his understanding, and his respect for Takeshi Onino increased even more.

If it was simply because of the Suzuki Group before, then now, after seeing Takeshi Onino's various performances, Kenichi Kikuchi began to truly value him as a person.

"This boy has the appearance of a famous supervisor!"

He said this to others at an internal company meeting and issued an order to work closely with Onino Eiga.

Closer to home.

After finally finishing all the work, Takeshi Ono handed over the remaining chores to Kenji Takakura without saying a word, and ran away without looking back.

Takakura Kenji: …

I have a pop quiz tomorrow, boss!

As he walked out of the door, Takeshi Onino's mood immediately improved, and he couldn't help but silently say sorry to Kenji Takakura in his heart.

Unfortunately, this feeling of guilt only lasted for less than a second before it was washed away by the joy of getting off work.

After going down to the first floor, Gui Yewu looked around and found that there were indeed many reporters outside.

Gui Yewu is a hot figure nowadays. I wonder how many media outlets would like to get exclusive news about him.

There are many people who apply for interviews with Onino Eiga every day, but except for a few large media with great influence, Onino Takeshi rejects all other small media.

Since he wasn't planning on extending the screening anyway, he naturally didn't want to waste too much time on these guys.

So Gui Yewu did not go through the front door, but slipped out directly through the back door.

As the night deepened, Takeshi Ono took the train home, and as usual, there was a large circle of people around him.

He no longer cared about it.

Just thinking about the 10 million cash advance he had just received from Toei, an idea suddenly popped into his head -

Should I buy a car?
　PS: I haven’t found out the actual box office figures for the original version of “That Summer, the Quiet Sea”, so I can only describe it according to the plot needs. If any book friends know the figures, please let me know.
