Movie Queen Development Plan

On the plane, Nanaya, who was sitting next to Shion, counseled the female boss, "We've made enough money in Europe and America, so we don't need to worry about this. We don't need to worry about that place (South Korea), because it only has such a small population, and it won't increase the box office much."

For some reason, Nanaya really doesn't have much good feelings towards those South Koreans.

As for the excuse for this review, Nanaya found it ridiculous.

Aren't you the first empire in the universe? How did you get involved with goblins?

"But if that happens, our box office performance in Asia..."

Shion was somewhat unwilling. It wasn't that she really cared about the box office revenue, but she was still upset about the South Korean boycott.

Although South Korea has been resisting Japan's cultural invasion, Japan is very keen on introducing its own works to Korea.

The reasons are complicated, but the biggest direct reason is money.

Because of the cultural circle, Japanese games and films have always paid special attention to the profits from the peninsula.

In fact, this is understandable. After all, due to the cultural gap with Europe and the United States, Japan's entertainment industry (especially the film and television industry) cannot become the mainstream culture.

In the past, most of Asia was poor, and the only country that had the ability to consume the entertainment industry was South Korea.

So naturally, Japan will pay more attention to this not-so-big market in South Korea.

However, Nanaya is very clear that with the overall development of the Asian economy, the role of that area in the south of the peninsula will only become smaller and smaller.

Especially this time, with "Goblin Slayer" being a huge hit in North America, Nanaya doesn't have to worry about the box office revenue in that small area at all.

However, Shion didn't think so. Before boarding the plane, she asked Washimine's employees to try to introduce the film to South Korea in the name of a Hollywood movie.

"So, you don't have to worry about it. After all, the main audience of our movie is not in East Asia, so the box office may not be very high."

"After all, this movie can be said to be a complete Hollywood production."

Luvia, who was sitting in the back row of Nanaya, followed up and said, "Senior's film is more international, or to put it more bluntly, except for the production team and funding sources, the entire structure of the film is completely a Hollywood work."

"That's right."

Nanaya nodded, fully agreeing with Luvia's words.

Although the original story of "Goblin Slayer" came from a light novel written by Nanaya in his previous life, when arranging the script and creating the story, Nanaya was moving closer to Hollywood movies.

This is completely different from the style of Nanayo's previous film "Kara no Kyoukai" which has a strong regional culture.

Because Nanaya knows very well that by far the most accepted movies in the global film market are Hollywood movies.

Because only Hollywood-style movies can make people all over the world fall in love with the same story and the same characters.

"Okay, Shion. Don't worry about it. In the end, South Korea will definitely beg us to import the movie, so just wait and see." Nanaya said easily, "Anyway, we have to thank the great leader this time. If it weren't for his review, the North American box office would have been only around 250 million US dollars. He really did a good thing."

Even though it was used as a propaganda tool, the promotion for the movie was real. From this point of view, the low IQ president did contribute to the box office of Seven Nights.

Nanaya said this while looking out the window and admiring the scenery in the sky.

The blue sea, blue sky and white clouds made him feel relaxed and happy. Of course, this was also related to the rising box office performance of "Goblin Slayer".

In the past weekend, Goblin Slayer, which has been released for five weeks, still did not encounter strong competitors in the North American market. The box office curve was very beautiful, only falling by 42%, and received a box office of 54.37 million US dollars.

Not only did "Goblin Slayer" achieve three consecutive championships in the North American box office rankings, but the total box office of "Goblin Slayer" in North America also exceeded 240 million US dollars, reaching 242 million US dollars.

At this point, "Goblin Slayer" has surpassed "Beverly Hills Cop" to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie in North America.

As Nanaya's first big-budget movie, it was able to win the box office championship in North America for three consecutive weeks, which is truly a miracle.

At the same time, "Goblin Slayer" was not only a box office hit in North America, but also became a hit in various European countries.

In order to promote the film, Goblin Slayer did not use the hunger marketing strategy in Europe, but delayed its large-scale release to the third week of its release in North America, using the reputation of the film in North America to stimulate the European box office.

As for Japan, after learning that "Goblin Slayer" won the North American weekly championship, Japanese audiences showed great enthusiasm for this work directed by a Japanese director.

So after "Goblin Slayer" was released worldwide on a large scale, the box office in non-North American regions in the first week reached 130 million US dollars, of which Japan contributed nearly 10 million US dollars (1.222 billion yen).

The second week's box office totals in various countries and regions also stabilized at US$94.5 million.

Taking into account the previously accumulated North American box office of 240 million US dollars, the global box office of "Godslayer" directly exceeded 470 million US dollars.

The "Goblin Slayer" crew, who had just got off the plane, were not very clear about these things, because the specific box office statistics for the fifth week have not yet been released.

However, for Nanaya and others, having finally finished a round of publicity, they just hope to have a good rest for a while after returning to Japan.

"Senior."

"Oni-chan!"

As soon as Nanaya walked out of the airport gate, she saw Ori and Illya coming to pick her up.

"Hey, long time no see!"

Seeing the two of them, Nanaya dropped his luggage and rubbed their heads hard with his hands.

"Senior! Stop making trouble!"

"Hmm... Oni-chan~ Illya isn't a child anymore~"

Because they were afraid that Nanaya would mess up their hair, the two of them quickly ran out of the reach of Nanaya's hands.

"Really? Senior, please don't do this as soon as you meet. Everyone is watching."

Ori glared at the other crew members who were laughing secretly in the back, and those guys quickly and consciously put their luggage into the car.

They were not the shameless beast that was Nanaya, and Ori would never smile at them. So they thought it would be better for them to stay away from the two brothers, so as to avoid any trouble.

"Sorry, I haven't seen you for a long time. My hands are a little itchy." Nanaya smiled proudly, "Who told you and Illya that your heads feel so good."

"Ah... I feel like your nickname of 'Head Patting Maniac' is not wrong at all, Senior."

Ori looked at Nanaya weakly, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

"Well… it's okay for Oni-chan to pat my head, but Illya can't just give it to you for free!"

Illya said as she stretched out her hand to Nanaya. She asked Nanaya in high spirits, "Hey, where is the gift that Oni-chan brought from America?"

"I remember Kiritsugu and Iris bring you gifts every year, don't they?"

"It's different. This is a gift from Oni-chan." Illya pulled Nanaya's arm and said coquettishly, "You didn't prepare anything, did you? Oni-chan~"

Nanaya suddenly felt a chill on his back. It was still a sunny summer day, but he felt a chill.

"Yes! Yes! Of course! This is your gift, Illya."

Nanaya quickly took out a wrapped small box. Originally, he wanted to wait until he got to the studio to take it out, but now he decided to send it out early in order to save his life.

The little Loli didn't hesitate to open the blue gift box that Nanaya handed to her.

"Oh oh!"

Illya looked at the silver brooch with exquisite carvings and inlaid with blue gems lying in the box.

"So beautiful, thank you, Oni-chan~"

Illya fiddled with the brooch, her face full of surprise.

"But this dress doesn't seem to suit me very well. It seems like it's time to change clothes." Illya put the brooch away with some regret. It seemed like a big pity for the little loli not to be able to show off the gift that Nanaya gave her.

Seeing the little girl so disappointed, Nanaya felt a little embarrassed: "Well, if I had known earlier, I would have bought you a purple gem."

"It's okay. Illya will find a suitable dress and wear it for Oni-chan to see."

Illya said as she turned around on the spot, leaning close to Nanaya and smiling.

[So close...]

Looking at Illya who was smiling at him, Nanaya suddenly realized that Illya in front of him was already 14 years old, and calling her a loli was a bit of a stretch.

"Well, as long as you like it. By the way, Ori. This is your gift."

Nanaya turned his head and forced himself not to look at Illya. He handed something to Ori.

"Senior, there's no need for us to be so polite... Wait, what is this!"

Ori picked up the thing that Nanaya handed to him, his face full of embarrassment.

It was a pair of headbands shaped like rabbit ears.

"Why did you give me this thing, senior?" Ori asked loudly.

"I saw this by chance when I was browsing in a swimwear store in the United States. I thought it would suit you very well so I bought it. I bought you three sets, so you don't have to worry about not having spare ones." Nanaya gave Ori a thumbs up and smiled, "The material of the rabbit ears is the same 2WAY fabric as the swimsuit, and it feels very comfortable. It's a match made in heaven for you!"

Ori touched the rabbit ear fabric twice: "Indeed, the white fabric on top feels very comfortable... Hey, this is not the point!"

The angry Ori grabbed Nanaya's neck and asked, "Why is there such a thing in a swimwear store? Why did you buy this for me? And why did you go to a swimwear store?"

"I saw it while shopping and bought it because it seemed suitable for me..."

Feeling guilty, Nanaya didn't dare to look directly into Ori's eyes.

You remember your real gender when you enter a swimwear store, but you don't want to walk out of the store without buying anything under the contempt of the salesperson.

Nanaya really couldn't say such the truth.
