Movie Queen Development Plan

Chapter 145: Chapter 143 Breaking the Record (Bonus)



"This weekend I watched a movie called Goblin Slayer on the recommendation of a friend. The movie tells a fascinating story from a very unique perspective."

"Although this movie is rated R, it is not a low-budget production that uses blood and flesh to attract attention."

"On the contrary, it has a wonderful story and a very unique shooting method. Although it is very outrageous, it is very original."

"It can be said that this is a very pleasant viewing experience. No director has ever dared to tell a story from such a perspective."

If you read this far, it might be considered a praising review. However, the second half of the article reveals the real purpose of this guy.

"The film's portrayal of human beings is very vivid, but what caught my attention more was the film's enemy - the goblins."

"These guys are brutal, evil, and inhumane, just like the enemies we are facing now! Many people advised me not to go to war, as they thought what I did was too cruel! But, take a look at this movie! How many humans were poisoned by goblins because of their momentary kindness!"

"Your kindness is only indulgence to those evil enemies! What we have to do is to completely eliminate these enemies from the root! Just like what the Goblin Slayer said, only dead goblins are good goblins!"

"I therefore appeal…"

Nanaya did not read any further, because the rest of the article was all about advocating for his own Patriot Act and throwing dirty water on a certain bearded country.

"What an interesting guy, there are no grammatical errors in the movie review."

Nanaya sneered. He remembered that this guy was always criticized for his grammatical errors.

"It's already this late..."

Nanaya looked at the date and found that this time period was exactly the time when both sides were exchanging verbal attacks to build momentum for public opinion.

Although this great president is often nicknamed as the president with the second lowest IQ, since he was able to become president, he can at least be said to be a qualified politician.

For this guy, taking advantage of an issue is simply the most normal thing.

Nanaya still remembers the danger level system invented by this guy, which was the orange sign he saw on the news in the morning.

In Nanaya's memory, that thing had never been below yellow since the first day it was set up. It seemed that every day the United States was in a very dangerous situation where it would be destroyed.

But everyone knows what the actual situation is.

What's even more interesting is that every time this guy feels that his approval rating has dropped, he will raise the security level factor to increase his approval rating in this way.

By selling fear in this way, the idiot commander-in-chief lived a much more comfortable life in his position than the Corn Head more than ten years later.

Although this guy has been involved in various anti-war demonstrations during his tenure, at least he has not been elevated to the level of political correctness. You should know that later Western media have compared the incident of Corn Head with "black people" and "feminism".

I can only say that only that Corn Head can be president to this extent.

Nanaya's unmoved look made Luvia a little anxious.

"Senior! This is no joke. If those extremists regard you as the vanguard of Western propaganda..."

Luvia was a little anxious, and she reminded Nanaya loudly.

Because of what happened last year, people are still generally very afraid of terrorists in the Middle East.

"It's okay. I'm not going to those dangerous places in the Middle East." Nanaya knew very well that those bearded men were not as scary as the official propaganda said.

If they really have the ability to deal with Nanaya, they might as well save that energy and try to deal with the President of the United States.

More importantly, the main location of the Nanaya event is in Japan. It is ten thousand times more difficult for the bearded men to cause trouble in Japan than in Europe and the United States.

"Senior!"

Rin frowned and looked at Nanaya, his eyes full of worry.

"It's okay, those guys can't get to Japan yet."

Nanaya really didn't care, after all, he knew very well that the other party was nothing.

"Well, now that we've finished breakfast, let's get to work. There's an outdoor performance today, so you two girls need to cheer up!"

You know, various Western media have long portrayed those bearded men as demons from hell.

If they really want to take action, they will kill those people first, and then it will be the turn of Nanaya, who is not even a metaphor.

In fact, Nanaya still has to thank this President. Although this film review has a very strong political color, it is undeniable that he made more people know about this movie.

You know, the influence of film reviews made by heads of state is much stronger than general media publicity. It has made many people who originally had no habit of watching movies start to pay attention to this movie.

Especially for those passers-by who have no good feelings towards R-rated movies, many people bought tickets to watch the movie because of this review.

With the support of such a lot of circumstances, the popularity of "Goblin Slayer" has reached a level on par with the high temperatures in North America.

On the other hand, the promotion of "Goblin Slayer" has not slackened after its release. In fact, the promotion of "Goblin Slayer" after its release has become more intense than before its release.

Rin and Luvia continued to appear on various shows in North America and began to promote Goblin Slayer.

As for Nanaya, in order to continue to attract public attention, he started joint promotion with the fat guy Peter, and the two guys started a business mutual promotion mode.

Peter Jackson published a short review of "Brotherhood" that same night after watching it, and he did not hesitate to praise the film.

Fat Peter even took the initiative to talk about the previous filming of the troll scene to give the audience more topics to talk about.

"Yes, because at that time he (Nanaya) had to play a troll and couldn't direct the movie. So I helped him shoot a few shots. At that time I saw that this movie would be a great work."

Nanaya also reciprocated the favor and began to praise "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" in public.

"I can tell you responsibly that you can look forward to The Two Towers and The Return of the King. They will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of world cinema!"

While being promoted in such a high-profile manner, the reputation of "Goblin Slayer" has also been rising. In this era when the Rotten Tomatoes website has not yet emerged, the audience reviews of the Cinemascore survey organization can be said to be the most representative standard that can reflect the reputation of a movie in the eyes of the audience.

According to a survey by Cinemascore, most of the audience ratings for "Goblin Slayer" are between A and A+, and the few viewers who gave it B or C seem insignificant compared to the majority of audience ratings.

Therefore, under the dual protection of word of mouth and popularity, the box office trend of "Goblin Slayer" in its fourth week remained strong, or rather, continued to rise, successfully winning a box office of 93.76 million US dollars.

So far, this R-rated game-adapted movie has grossed 190 million USD at the box office, making it the most popular movie in North America in July.

Compared to this hit movie, other movies released during the same period performed much worse.

In particular, the movie "Men in Black 2" was hit the hardest. This movie, which originally had average reviews, had no particularly strong competitors for two weeks in the memory of Nanaya, and finally the box office reached 190 million US dollars.

However, this time with the targeting of "Goblin Slayer", the number of viewers dropped sharply except for children and parents who accompanied their children to watch movies.

Seeing that "Men in Black 2" has not reached 50 million US dollars in box office for two consecutive weeks, Nanaya estimates that the final box office of this movie is likely to be less than 150 million US dollars.

It is estimated that Sony Columbia will lose a lot of money on "Men in Black 2", but what does this have to do with Nanaya Kiryu?

Standing on Washimine's side, he should be happy to see Sony in trouble.

At present, everyone has shifted their attention away from other movies. Now everyone is only concerned about two things: 1. How many weeks can "Goblin Slayer" stay at the top of the weekly charts; 2. Can "Goblin Slayer" break the North American box office record of 234 million R-rated movies held by "Beverly Hills Cop" since 1984.

At least judging from the current data, there is still great hope.

Influenced by the positive news in the North American market, "Goblin Slayer" also performed very well at the European box office.

Although for European audiences who are used to watching overly plain and straightforward "art" films, the images of "Goblin Slayer" are a bit subtle, and the plot's presentation of human nature is not that profound.

However, thanks to the two selling points of being the most profitable R-rated movie in the North American market this year and the most successful game-adapted movie, "Goblin Slayer" has achieved generally good results in Europe.

Of course, "Goblin Slayer" was still boycotted by some conservative countries and even banned from release, but Nanaya had anticipated this situation when making the movie.

Every country has its own situation, and China is not the only country with a censorship agency. Censorship of cultural products such as movies is common throughout the world.

In fact, if it is simply because of the R-rating factor, it is not difficult to deal with it, after all, Nanaya has prepared a PG-13 version for all ages. But if it is because of political and cultural factors, it will be more difficult to deal with it.

For example, in South Korea, the review of "Goblin Slayer" also encountered problems.

I don't know if they were inspired by that great leader, but those South Koreans insisted that goblins were the vilified versions of themselves, and asked the film producers to change the scene into goblins and adventurers developing the world together in harmony and friendship.

Making such unreasonable demands shows that these South Koreans have no intention of allowing "Goblin Slayer" to pass the review.

Of course, Nanaya estimated that this was mostly due to South Korea's comprehensive ban on Japanese culture, and the so-called vilification of Korea was probably just an excuse.

However, according to Nanaya's memory, South Korea will make the fourth announcement to lift the ban on Japanese culture in September, and the policy will be relaxed a lot by then.

I think it won't take Nanaya too long to wait for Goblin Slayer to be introduced to South Korea.

Although considering the current popularity of "Goblin Slayer", this box office in South Korea is already insignificant.

But no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and making money is always better than making no money.

In fact, when Nanaya learned that the introduction of "Goblin Slayer" in South Korea was blocked, he was already preparing to fly back to Japan from the United States.
