Although "Wei Yong's Wife" is a work directed by Lin Junxiu, there are not many films scheduled for this movie. In addition to Toho Company, because Lin Junxiu is his long-term partner, Nagasawa Masami, the outsider, is the girl he strongly favors.

In addition to the relatively large number of films given to actors, Toei, Shochiku, and Kadokawa only gave about 10% of the films. As for Nikkatsu, who is addicted to pink movies and can't help himself, they almost did not arrange films for this movie. After all, people who like literary movies

I won’t go to theaters owned by Nikkatsu to watch movies.

"After all, it is still a domestically produced serious live-action film, and it is inevitable to be ignored." Lin Junxiu couldn't help but muttered after seeing the filming report fed back by his assistant.

The most popular films in the Japanese film market are animated theatrical versions, followed by Hollywood commercial blockbusters, then live-action films of Japanese youth idols, and finally the live-action serious films produced by Japan. It is no wonder that Japanese film companies and filmmakers rarely produce these films.

Even if it is a serious film adapted from a work by a domestic author, it will be screened directly in the form of a so-called "two-hour TV series" or "special drama" in cooperation with a TV station.

Probably except for Japan, the status of TV movies in most countries is lower than that of movies, and even not as good as TV series; but only in Japan, TV movies with the title of "special drama" or other

But it is very popular with TV stations and TV viewers. For TV stations, because they use public wireless signals for free, they naturally have to bear certain responsibilities.

In particular, Japan's "Broadcasting Law" clearly stipulates the proportion of educational programs and news programs on each commercial wireless TV station, so Japan's five major commercial TV stations have to obey the regulations. This kind of TV series that adapts the works of Japanese literati from past dynasties can naturally

Being classified as a educational program not only guarantees the minimum ratings, but also meets the regulations of the regulatory authorities. Naturally, the TV station is willing to broadcast it and even actively invest in its production.

As for the audience, Japan’s current TV audiences are mainly concentrated in those born in the Showa era, and those born in the Heisei era are basically addicted to games and mobile phones. For Showa Japanese, they have a natural admiration for knowledge. After all, that era

Higher education in Japan was not yet popular, and the rapidly developing Japanese industry and commerce at that time were in urgent need of a large number of high-level talents. Therefore, Japanese college students at that time were really the "proud ones of heaven", and even high school students could get very good jobs.

Because of this, the Showa Japanese people's admiration and fascination for culture are very exaggerated. Even artistic works that represent a higher level of cultural appreciation, such as Noh drama, enka, stage play, ballet, etc., are also highly respected in Japan. To put it simply,

I said, no matter whether I can see or understand it, at least if I watch it, it means that I am also literate. That is why the Japanese Taiga drama is very popular in Japan. Watching TV can show your high quality. What else can be better than this?

What about happier things?

But the same cannot be said for movies. The main market for Japanese movies is young people like Heisei. However, these people grew up in a "relaxed education" environment and have no respect for knowledge at all. For people born in the Heisei era

, Japan has popularized high school education. After all, as long as you remember to pay tuition and register for school every year, you can basically get a high school diploma. As long as you don't violate criminal laws, there will be teachers to help you with the high school graduation procedures even if you stay at home every day.

As for universities, although S-level and A-level universities are still a bit difficult for most Japanese young people, B-level and C-level universities can still be obtained with a little effort. Even worse, Japan also has D-level, E-level and F-level universities.

A top-level university! If these full-time universities are not successful, how about short-term universities? Or about correspondence and part-time universities?

In short, for young people born in the Heisei era in Japan, the biggest obstacle to going to college is not knowledge but money. Therefore, it is impossible to expect young Japanese people to maintain respect for serious works. Therefore, mainstream blockbusters in the Japanese film market

It’s the kind of work that requires no brain but only sensory stimulation.

"Wei Yong's Wife" is a movie released on Thursday. After all, it is impossible for Lin Junxiu's movie to be arranged on other schedules. It must be released on Thursday with other blockbusters. But as a release day with many blockbusters, "Wei Yong's Wife"

The box office of "The Wife" is of course pathetic. The daily box office rankings almost fell out of the top ten, not only losing to movies released in the same period, but also losing to several movies released one week or even two weeks ago. Not only the box office data,

Even the two core data of single-venue attendance and single-venue box office performed mediocrely.

Such bleak data has forced Dongbao to find someone to give Lin Junxiu some advice. Next week, even Dongbao may have to reduce its film schedule. Of course, Lin Junxiu will also be arranged at the same time. This movie is meant to be a hit for awards, and the box office is almost nothing.

.After all, film critics and film award judges have never liked movies with high box office, so this can be regarded as a reverse favor for the movie.

"Junxiu, I'm sorry that this movie failed because of me." When Nagasawa Masami returned to the apartment, she said to Lin Junxiu with some disappointment.

Although because of Toho and Lin Junxiu, many TV stations' top programs have issued notices about "Weirong's Wife", Nagasawa Masami actually has many publicity channels. Even though she became famous because of this appearance

, but the failure of the movie still left Masami Nagasawa a little breathless. Since he is the main protagonist, the failure of the movie at the box office must be borne by himself.

And now many people are rumoring that the original protagonist of this movie should be Matsu Takako, but he stole the lead role of his predecessor and "if you don't have diamonds, you have to get a porcelain job", so there is such a disastrous failure. Don't look at the program team

The invitation was still sent to her sincerely, but the disdainful look in the host's eyes made Nagasawa Masami panic.

"What? You think this movie is a failure?" Lin Junxiu looked at Masami Nagasawa in surprise. "Yami-chan, do you think this movie is good? Is your performance good? Also, I can shoot it.

Isn’t it good enough?”

"No." Nagasawa Masami quickly denied.

Although the box office of the movie is indeed not ideal, Nagasawa Masami does not think that the movie is not good. Even regarding her acting skills, Nagasawa Masami is confident enough to say "good enough". But so what? Movies are box office and

Awards determine everything. It's still some time before the awards season, so the box office can represent a lot.

"Although we all know that this is an excellent movie, if the audience does not accept it, we..."

Seeing Masami Nagasawa's hesitant expression, Lin Junxiu stretched out his hand and touched his head.

Japan is indeed the second largest film market and music market in the world, but if you think this represents how happy people in the entertainment industry are, you are completely wrong. To put it bluntly, the Japanese entertainment industry has been controlled by chaebols since its birth.

Cash cow in hand. The relationship between the Japanese press and the Japanese chaebols needs no introduction, and the relationship between the Japanese press and the Japanese radio, television and film industries has been mentioned countless times in this article, so our readers should all know about the Japanese entertainment industry.

Although it attracts money, most of it is controlled by chaebols.

Although idols are the most miserable tools, how can actors and musicians fare better? This is the fundamental reason why whenever there is a disturbance in the Japanese entertainment industry, the parties involved are eager to apologize to the Japanese people. The Japanese entertainment industry has long been

In the internal volume, no one is irreplaceable. Even Nagasawa Masami of Toho Little Princess, couldn't Haruka Ayase, and Satomi Ishihara be the same? You see, Ai Hui Records couldn't wait when Hamasaki Ayumi was still making waves in the Japanese music scene.

Kumi Koda was launched, so no actor or singer is eternal.

Therefore, Japanese entertainers are very afraid of offending the audience, because if they lose the audience, they will really have nothing. It is for this reason that almost the vast majority of entertainers in the Japanese entertainment industry have a pleaser personality.

"Don't worry, the people's choices are still easy to guide." Lin Junxiu comforted.

In fact, Lin Junxiu is not worried about the subsequent box office of "Wei Yong's Wife". In Japan, such a serious movie is at least released for more than half a year. If you include theaters in small cities, it is not surprising that it will be released for a year or two.

Moreover, this type of movie has always been the darling of the DVD market, and DVDs can be sold not only in Japan, but also in surrounding countries and even Europe and the United States. However, Lin Junxiu also noticed something amiss. It seemed that someone wanted to take advantage of the poor box office performance of this movie.

Come and criticize the production of the show and even yourself.

Perhaps because she was tired from the continuous announcements in the past few days, Nagasawa Masami slowly fell asleep leaning on Lin Junxiu. Lin Junxiu was thinking about whether to use his power on the Internet. Many times, he did it himself.

It can be said that "moistening things silently". Young people in the Heisei era are used to getting movie reviews from the Internet before deciding whether to watch a certain movie. However, the two most important movie rating platforms in Japan, Kie and Yahoo Movies, have

own equity participation.

Kie is Lin Junxiu's cooperation with Japan's most senior and authoritative film professional journal "Movie Xunbo", which mainly faces professional film critics and senior movie fans; Yahoo Movies is Lin Junxiu's cooperation with SoftBank and "Sports Japan" newspaper

Yes, the reference standard is Rotten Tomatoes.

If Lin Junxiu is willing, he can improve the film's reputation on these two platforms. At the same time, Japan's most popular movie discussion forum 2ch Movie is also his own website. The reason why Lin Junxiu did not take action is that he felt that it might not be worth it.

But now it seems that since there are people behind the scenes who are breaking the rules of fair competition, why should I bother to talk to them morally?

Toshihiko Murakami is a young man who just came to Tokyo from Aomori City to study. He recently met a girlfriend through a social network, so he wanted to take advantage of this weekend to go on a date with her. On the recommendation of friends around him, he decided to go to the movies. Because

According to the suggestions of my friends, it is relatively late to have a meal and watch a movie, so naturally I can propose to my girlfriend that we spend the night together.

In order to let himself and his girlfriend have a wonderful night, Murakami decided to find a better movie. Otherwise, if his girlfriend found it boring after watching it, then he would definitely be rejected if he invited him to spend the night again. In order to prevent his perfect plan from being ruined, Murakami

Toshiyan screens movies very carefully. He also checked the movie editions of Kie, Yahoo Movies, and several online communities.

"Is the movie "Viron's Wife" so well received?" Toshihiko Murakami muttered with some disbelief.

However, the news he has seen is that the movie's portrayal of love is very good, and it also has the style of the early Showa era.

"Otherwise, I would have chosen this movie."

In Murakami's view, no matter how weird a romance movie is, it won't go anywhere. What's more, movies adapted from famous novels can appear to have depth and be more like a breath of fresh air compared to those superficial fat nerds.

When Toshihiko Murakami decided to buy tickets, many young people across Japan made the same choice. The theater manager who was originally a little disappointed with the movie suddenly discovered that the attendance of "Viron's Wife" had increased significantly.
