Chapitre 23: Chapter 23: Kara no Kyoukai premiered

Although Nanaya's version of "Kara no Kyoukai" added a lot of content, because of his fast editing style and smooth narrative style, the whole movie is only about 100 minutes including the end credits.

But everyone who has seen the movie has a feeling of wanting more, and can't wait to see the sequel. The people present are not amateurs, they immediately felt the ability of Kiryu Nanaya as a director.

"You did great, kid."

When leaving the screening room, Ryutani Nobuyuki deliberately walked to Nanaya's side and whispered secretly in Nanaya's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Nanaya looked at Nobuyuki's back with some curiosity. He seemed to find that the chairman of Linbao seemed to care more about the success of the movie than he did. An hour and a half ago, he was still trembling when he walked into the screening room, but now he seemed to be very relaxed. This contrast made him almost think that he was the producer of the movie.

"Is it an illusion?" Nanaya pinched his chin thoughtfully.

"What illusion?"

Ryougi Ori and others came over. They were also very satisfied with the performance of the movie. Subaru Ikeda and Tamari Tsukasa both looked like they were about to cry.

"It's nothing. Thank you for your support."

Nanaya solemnly thanked his comrades who had supported him for the past six months. Without them, he would not have been able to achieve what he has now on his own.

"After all, we are all a team." Ikeda Subaru and others smiled embarrassedly.

"Isn't this natural? This is a movie that I participated in producing, right?"

"You guy... forget it, you have really worked hard during this period of time." Facing Shonan Rantaro who was going crazy again, Nanaya rarely did not attack him this time.

"Nanaya, Ori. Come here, both of you." Ryuichi waved at the two of them.

Nanaya and Ori looked at each other, and they saw confusion in each other's eyes.

"Nanaya, you did a good job. I didn't expect you to be able to do this in the end." Hanai Ryuichi pressed down on Nanaya's shoulders. "There will be a meeting later to discuss the distribution of the film. You two will also participate."

Although Nanaya and Ori nodded to indicate that they understood, they were still very curious about the content of the meeting. After all, many things had already been discussed before today, and there should be no need for further negotiations.

"Teacher, is there something wrong?"

Ryuichi smiled like a father: "There are changes, but they are good things."

"Good thing?"

Confused, Nanaya came to a small meeting room. There was only one round table in the entire meeting room, and the big guys who had watched the movie before were sitting around it.

Seeing the serious expressions on everyone's faces, Nanaya also became a little nervous. He followed his teacher and sat in an empty seat at the round table, waiting for the meeting to begin.

At this time, Naito Hiroya was no longer as calm as he was at the beginning. He originally thought that he was going to take over a bad movie, and that Ryutani Nobuyuki and Hanai Ryuichi had something to ask of him, so he should take the initiative. But when he found out that this movie was not a bad movie at all but an excellent one, he had different thoughts in his mind.

The movie "Kara no Kyoukai" may not be comparable to the A-level commercial blockbusters on the market, but it also has the potential to be a big hit. This is a good thing for Naito himself, after all, it is his luck that such an excellent movie can be premiered on his own show.

But what Naito is more afraid of now is that Ryutani and others intend to abandon the TV premiere and go straight to the theater model.

[It would be terrible if it turns out like that. How can I convince these two old foxes? ]

Naito's eyes moved back and forth between Ryutani and Hanai, his brain working rapidly to try to find a solution that would be beneficial to him.

Both of them care very much about the success or failure of this movie. Although Naito doesn't quite understand why Ryutani would care so much about the movie "Kara no Kyoukai" like Hanai, this is exactly what he can take advantage of.

"Boy, your movie is outstanding."

As the person with the highest status in the conference room, Ryutani Nobuyuki naturally spoke first.

"This movie has exceeded my expectations, so no matter what the ratings are for the first TV broadcast, I will help you arrange the theatrical release."

In fact, if possible, Nobuyuki plans to go directly through the theaters. Even if the box office is low, he must first recover the investment of his beloved granddaughter.

What is important to Illya is not how much profit can be made, but the need to ensure a return on investment.

However, as the leader of the industry, Ryutani Nobuyuki knew that he had to keep his word. For someone of his status, the reputation he would lose by breaking the contract was much more important than the money he would get. So the TV station's first broadcast must be done, but Nobuyuki's focus is no longer on this. With the possibility of the theater chain making a profit, Nobuyuki has already planned to fool around with the TV station's broadcast.

"That won't work!" Naito hurriedly interrupted the conversation between Ryutani Nobushige and Nanaya. Of course, the reason he used was also very reasonable. "The strength of Director Kiryu's work is of course beyond words, but Director Kiryu is just a newcomer after all. Without large-scale publicity, the ratings of the TV station's first broadcast will definitely not be very high. If the ratings are not good, it will definitely affect the box office of this masterpiece "Kara no Kyoukai" in theaters later."

Ryutani Nobuyuki waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we will start promoting this movie before it is shown on TV stations, and your program will not suffer any loss."

"No, I just have an immature idea and I'd like to ask Chairman Ryutani to discuss it." Naito explained anxiously, fearing that the other party would cause misunderstanding.

Ryutani Nobuyuki paused for a second before slowly speaking, "I'd like to hear more details."

Naito wiped the sweat from his face. Not everyone can bear the pressure from the industry giants.

"Yes, this is what I think..."

When Naito expressed his thoughts, everyone present was stunned, except Nanaya, who was sitting at the last seat, who had a thoughtful expression on his face.

···

Kaede Shiori is a movie lover, of course, he is different from other movie lovers, he not only likes good movies, but also some B-level movies and bad movies with peculiar tastes.

For him, enjoying a good movie is as enjoyable as complaining about a bad one.

That day, as usual, he was checking the TV station's movie schedule in the newspaper, looking for movies that interested him.

"They're all movies I've seen before. TV stations rarely show new B-movies these days. New movies are either released in theaters or on DVD. Can't people watch bad movies for free and complain about them? ... Hmm?"

Soon, Shiori Kaede noticed that there was a movie he had never heard of in the late-night movie program of TBS TV station.

"Kara no Kyoukai? The director's name is Nanaya Kiryu. I've never heard of him. Is he a new director?" Shiori Kaede quickly became interested in this movie. He thought that the movie of a new director he had never heard of would definitely bring him a sense of novelty.

It doesn't matter if it's a bad movie. It's more like a movie lover's pleasure to criticize the movie online after watching it. Shiori Kaede has always believed that true movie lovers should not only appreciate good movies, but also know how to watch bad movies.

"It's Saturday night, but I have to work that day."

As a corporate slave, Shiori Kaede, like almost all office workers in Japan, only has one day off. After a hard day's work, he probably doesn't have the energy to stay up late to watch a movie.

However, Shiori Kaede also has her own solution: "Forget it, I'll record it on a videotape and watch it slowly on Sunday morning. It will be a way to relax on the weekend."

So on Sunday of this week, when Shiori Kaede got up from bed after getting some sleep, it was already past noon.

"Well...let's have breakfast and lunch together."

After washing up, Shiori Kaede made herself a simple lunch - instant noodles.

"Oh, right, the movie."

While waiting for the instant noodles, Shiori Kaede adjusted the recorded videotape to the beginning. He ate the instant noodles while watching the movie.

As the Linbao logo flashed by, the movie began.

"It's actually [Lin Bao]? It seems like we can look forward to it." Shiori Kaede said vaguely while slurping instant noodles.

Unlike ordinary movies, this one does not start with the title of the movie, but a rainy night.

A short-haired woman in a red kimono was walking in the rain, her eyes were empty and lifeless as if her heart was dead.

The girl was walking aimlessly on the street. A car passed by in the distance, and her face was illuminated by the high beam of the car, but she did not dodge, but showed a trace of serene carefreeness.

Then there was a flash of white light, and the entire screen turned white.

Shiori Kaede gradually stopped holding the fork, his attention began to be attracted by the content on TV. When the black words "Kara no Kyoukai" appeared on the white screen, he came back to his senses.

"This scene is simply amazing!"

Shiori Kaede took a big sip of noodles. The opening of the movie made him feel very amazed. The cold color tone, the desolate BGM and the face that made people involuntarily attracted all made him feel very interested in this movie.

It is obvious that the woman who appears in the opening scene committed suicide, but why did she do this? What exactly caused this beautiful girl to want to commit suicide? All these made Shiori Kaede very interested.

"The picture, sound and actors are all good. I hope there will be a good story, otherwise these good things will be wasted!"

At this time, Shiori Kaede became very interested in the movie and couldn't wait to know what story it was about.
