Chapter 304 Chapter Storm
"Kenshin isn't invincible? How could he lose?"

"Why is the second part so much better than the first? The fighting scenes are so exciting."

"The battle between Kenshin and Tenken Sojiro really stunned me. Both of them are so strong. How powerful is Shishio to make Sojiro his subordinate?"

"Su Yan, the old thief, just said in the comment section of his account that Sojiro's strength is not weaker than Shishio's."

"What the hell, what's wrong with Su Yan? It's Chinese New Year, and a movie with an unfinished plot was released. I'm so upset."

"Why is no one discussing the appearance of Biko Seijuro at the end of the plot? Isn't it cool for the master to appear? And Kamiya Kaoru, does no one care whether she lives or dies?"

"Why should I care about Kamiya Kaoru? Yukishiro Tomoe is dead, so what does it matter if she lives or dies?"

"Right now I'm only interested in the combat capabilities of the new characters in this drama."

"Honestly speaking, according to the setting, Kenshin during the Battousai period should be the second best in the world. After all, those who understand know that if you don't want to kill people during a battle, you can't exert your full strength at all. The same is true for his loss to Sojiro in the second movie. Also, the master should be the best in combat power, and Kenshin during the Battousai period should not be able to beat him. As for Shishio, I feel that although this guy is strong, he should not be able to compare with Kenshin of Battousai."

"The Reverse Blade Kenshin is not at the same level as the Kenshin in the TV series. In that period, Kenshin only had one scabbard, and that was Tomoe Yukishiro. Now Kenshin has made a vow to himself not to kill. It's okay to go through hardships and bully noobs now, but if you fight against a real master, wouldn't it be funny if you don't kill others?"

"Anyone who has killed a New Year pig knows that it is easy to kill it with one knife, but if you don't kill it, and want to hold the pig down to prevent it from running around, that's going to be difficult."

“So there will be a third movie, right?”

"Of course, the story isn't finished yet. Next, Shishio's goal is to seize all of Sakurajima. Kenshin will probably go and stop him in the third part of the movie."

"It's so painful. I can't take it anymore. I'm going to go to the official website of Dimension Film and Television Company and criticize Su Yan."

Su Yan had guessed this situation before the second part of the movie, Kyoto Fire, was released. However, in order to catch up with the schedule of this year's Spring Festival, he was unable to shoot the third part of the movie, the legendary finale, and broadcast it together. Therefore, Su Yan accepted the abuse from his fans.

But similar operations were common in the film industry in Su Yan’s previous life.

The second part of Pirates of the Caribbean also ended before the plot was completed, and Fast & Furious had a similar ending, not to mention a lot of similar things in Marvel movies.

Splitting an event into two films, which are then released over two or three years to tell the story, is indeed likely to anger the audience.

But even so, the audience's anger was directed at Su Yan, not the movie.

The audience is not blind, the quality of the second Kenshin movie is ahead of the first in all aspects.

The fighting scenes, production quality, and script are all better than the first one.

Moreover, the characterization of the villain Shishio is also very impressive, and the atmosphere is prominent.

For the first time, everyone felt that Kenshin encountered a mortal enemy in this drama, instead of like in the first movie and the TV series, where it always felt that Kenshin's enemies were too weak and Kenshin just couldn't go all out because of funny things like the oath of not killing.

Otherwise, if you really get serious, you can kill the villain in minutes.

But most viewers feel that the villain Shishio would still be in jeopardy even if it were Kenshin Battousai.

After all, he is not only strong, but also smart!
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Yan put down his work and went to the cinema to watch a movie.

Of course, I definitely didn’t watch Kenshin, but several other films that competed at the same time.

For him, these local films in Xia Country are actually quite good, but for Xia Country audiences, Su Yan's works are truly new.

On the first day of the new year, the box office of Rurouni Kenshin movie was released. As expected, it was the daily box office champion with a total box office of 4.11 million. With 26% of the screenings, it accounted for 36% of the total box office for the whole day.

The fans' doubts and insults against Su Yan are actually all false.

The 9.8 rating for the second season of Rurouni Kenshin and its overwhelming box office are the most realistic.

And this time, all the media in Xiaguo's film and television industry basically praised it without any doubts.

In the past few years, Su Yan was a newcomer in the Xiaguo film and television industry. If a newcomer wants to stand out, he will definitely take away the cake of many old-established stakeholders. But now Su Yan wants to eat the biggest cake during the Spring Festival. Who can object?

In terms of money, people, name and qualifications, Su Yan is not inferior to any opponent. He cannot compete with Kenshin in the quality of his works, so he can forget about using any shady tricks in aspects other than his works.

Now Su Yan is confident that he can compete "fairly" with any competitor in the film industry! No matter whether the other party wants to compete fairly or not, Su Yan will definitely force the other party to compete fairly.

The first day of the Spring Festival movie market was ignited.

In the next few days, public opinion about the second part of Rurouni Kenshin movie and the sixth episode of fsn TV series fermented again in the market.

However, for Su Yan now, he may spend some time focusing on the performance of the two works, but it is no longer as urgent as in the past two years.

It’s exciting to be at the top of your industry for the first time.

But if he stays in this position for several years and does not see any competitor from Xia State that poses a threat to him, his mentality will indeed change.

The employees under the company are immersed in excitement every day, but Su Yan and Shinozaki Yumi are also very stable in their mentality.

"How is the overseas market response?" On the seventh day of the New Year, Su Yan asked Shinozaki Yumi beside him.

"On the day of its release, it was ranked fifth or sixth in the overseas box office. As of today, Rurouni Kenshin has made it into the top three of the daily box office charts in the three major countries where it was released."

When talking about the box office performance of Kenshin in overseas release countries, Shinozaki Ikumi's expression became excited.

There are too many Sakurajima elements in the movie Kenshin. The inland residents of Natsune can barely understand it, but foreigners will definitely not feel anything.

But the excellent fighting scenes in Kenshin's movies can make up for all this. As long as foreign audiences have eyes, they can also see the quality of the movie. So from the time Kenshin's movies were released to now, its reputation and box office have been fermenting abroad in a week, and the box office has been rising.

"I see. This is a pretty good result. After all, it's my first film to be screened in a big foreign country. I'll first make myself familiar with the market there, and then in the next few years..."

Su Yan thought about the sequels to Kenshin's movie, as well as the movies about Howl's Moving Castle and Weathering With You that were already set to be released in overseas markets, and said with a smile.

"In the next few years, we just need to slowly expand the market. The chances of one movie being a hit in both the East and the West are really low."

Shinozaki Ikumi looked at Su Yan in surprise, she heard something different.

"So Su Yan, what you mean is that you might shoot some works that suit the aesthetic tastes of Western people and release them in the West?"

"Of course." Su Yan nodded.

The works that can be extracted from the system space are all those that Su Yan had come into contact with in his previous life.

Most of the works Su Yan had come into contact with in his previous life were Japanese anime series, but after all, he must have seen some of the most classic Western movies. Now Su Yan just hasn't developed to that level yet, otherwise, when he really wants to break into the market there in the future, he will definitely not be too rigid.

"Come to think of it, I have known you for seven years." Su Yan said at this time.

"Why are you bringing this up suddenly?" Shinozaki Ikumi glanced at Su Yan with a curious expression.

"In seven years, we have gone from zero to one and basically stood at the top of Xia Country's film and television industry." Su Yan took a deep breath.

"But in less than seven years, I will make Dimension Films and our names famous in the Western market! As famous as we are in Xia Country."

Shinozaki Ikumi was stunned when she heard this, and picked up the market research on the Western film market for the second part of Rurouni Kenshin in her hand. After a long time, a smile appeared on her face.

"Then I'll wait and see!"

The release of Kenshin's movie in Western countries was just a test for Su Yan. As of now, the response is much better than he expected.

The audience, the community, and the colleagues in Xia Country had no idea what was going on in Su Yan's mind. They just envied and looked at the outrageous box office of the second film of Jian Xin every day.
After one week of release, the total box office exceeded 1.4 billion. Now in its second week, the average daily box office is still over 100 million.
When the most conservative media in Xia Country predicted the box office of Jianxin's second film, they believed that it would exceed the 3 billion mark, and even become the highest-grossing film among Su Yan's works.
