Movie Queen Development Plan

As Goblin Slayer entered its sixth week of release in North America, its strong momentum was finally hampered.

In its sixth week, "Goblin Slayer" only earned 26.74 million yuan at the box office, a drop of nearly 50% compared to the previous week.

However, this is also normal. After all, the benefits of the previous hunger marketing and presidential film reviews have been almost exhausted, and a decline in box office sales is inevitable.

According to professional box office evaluation agencies, the final box office of "Goblin Slayer" in North America is expected to be between US$300 million and US$320 million, while the global box office is estimated to be between US$530 million and US$560 million.

Not to mention being an R-rated movie, even if it is a commercial movie for all ages, this result can be said to be the best of the year.

It was not yet the era of widespread 3D and IMAX as in later generations, and there were only a handful of movies that grossed $1 billion at the box office. It was already a remarkable achievement for "Goblin Slayer" to achieve such a result.

You should know that the box office forecast for "Star Wars Episode 2" released this year is also expected to be around 300 million US dollars. The fact that "Goblin Slayer" can achieve such data has fully proved its commercial value.

Shion looked at the box office rising every day and was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Although it will take some time to recover the box office profits, the peripheral profits alone are enough for Washimine to live a full life now.

First of all, just from the peripheral licensing of "Goblin Slayer", Washimine has earned nearly 50 million US dollars in profits.

Although this is an R-rated movie, neither the male and female protagonists, the Goblin Slayer and the Priestess, nor the other adventurers have excessive R-rated elements in their appearance, and there is nothing wrong with making it into a product for all ages.

On the contrary, children seem to like the image of Goblin Slayer wearing armor all over his body very much, and his dolls are selling like crazy. Although those children don't know what kind of person this character is, as long as he is handsome, it's enough.

As for characters like the female martial artist, we can also make some special figures or dolls to sell to those older uncles. I believe these otakus will be very happy to pay for them.

Similarly, due to the popularity of "Goblin Slayer", even the sales volume of the JGC console that was almost abandoned by Washimine actually showed a slight increase.

The JGC version of the "Saints and Brave" game collection designed by Nanaya was even out of stock and demanded to be restocked in various parts of the world.

As such good news came one after another, Shion would certainly not be stingy with the reward for the "Goblin Slayer" crew that created this miracle.

"A celebration party?"

When Nanaya received this news, he was revising the scripts for chapters 2 and 3 of "Kara no Kyoukai" at [Erque Studio].

"Yes, your female boss said that in order to celebrate the global box office of Goblin Slayer exceeding 400 million, she specially held a celebration banquet." Ori put the invitation in front of Nanaya, "You should attend, right?"

Ever since Nanaya brought him rabbit ears as a gift from America, Ori's attitude towards Nanaya has never been very good.

"Of course, there's food for free, why not go and eat it."

Nanaya took the invitation very naturally. After opening it, he found that Shion was really generous this time, because she invited not only the members who participated in the production of "Goblin Slayer" but all the members of the entire [Erque Studio].

This means that members like Illya who have not participated in the production of a film can also attend the party.

"Let's all go to the party together this weekend!"

"Ooooooooooooooooooo!"

Everyone in the studio cheered, and everyone was very happy about this free meal.

"Can I bring my family?"

Subaru Ikeda raised his hand and asked, and Sister Katsura beside him also showed an expectant look.

"Let me see..." Nanaya checked the details of the invitation letter, "Well, each person can bring 4 family members."

"Very good!"

Now, Subaru Ikeda and Mamako Katsura also joined in the cheering.

"Oh yeah! Have a feast, have a feast!" O(∩_∩)O

Ryougi Shiki was so happy that she waved her hands as if she was doing some kind of war dance. It seemed that she was very excited about the free meal.

However, being too cocky is not a good thing, because in the next second you will be punished by your younger brother.

"Why are you so happy, sister!"

Ori hit her sister hard on the head with a knife.

"Hey, isn't there a feast?"

Shiki asked back with her hands covering her head and tears in her eyes.

Ori pulled Shiki's cheek with both hands and said angrily, "You didn't forget, did you? You were going back to Kyoto this weekend."

"Why???"

Ori showed no mercy to her sister: "Hey you big-headed ghost! Didn't mother mention this matter last month?!"

"What if next week..."

Shiki tried to bargain with his brother.

However, Ori did not give her any room to negotiate.

Ori put his hands on his hips and announced, "No need to talk, you must be there this time! Otherwise it would be disrespectful to the Buddha!"

"How can this be..."

Ryougi Shiki's entire body turned grayish white, and she lay on the table as if she would be blown away by the wind at any time.

In the past six months, Ryougi Shiki has finally adjusted her body to normal. Of course, compared to ordinary people, she is still a little weak, but she can eat and exercise as she pleases, just be careful not to overdo it at once.

Under such circumstances, being able to get a free meal was a blessing from God for Ryougi Shiki, but unfortunately she was not able to enjoy it.

According to Ori, when Ryougi Shiki was in a coma, Ryougi Kiyomi prayed to the gods and made wishes in almost all the temples and shrines in Kyoto.

Now that Ryougi Shiki has awakened, it's time to fulfill her vows at various temples.

Because Ryougi Shiki's body had not fully recovered, the ceremony had been delayed for a while. Now that she was well again, she had to follow her mother to various temples to fulfill her vows and express gratitude to the various gods and Buddhas.

Before, Ryougi Shiki was too lazy to do anything and wanted to ask her younger brother to go instead of her. As a result, Nanaya, who was watching the show, will never forget Ori's angry face at that time.

"Let someone else take your place!!?? Sister, if you want to mess around, stop it now! You will go to hell if you lie to the gods and Buddhas!!"

Although Nanaya has some doubts about the gods and Buddhas themselves, but thinking that he can be reborn...

So there is nothing wrong in being respectful.

Nanaya said that he didn't think so because Ori looked so scary at that time.

"Don't even think about running away!" Ori warned fiercely, "I will take you to the station that day, and I will watch you get on the train!"

"Tsk... Devil brother. I haven't seen you for a few years. You have become much more irritable now."

Shiki hummed to express her dissatisfaction. She originally thought she was free after coming to Tokyo from Kyoto, but who knew that she was just out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den.

First he was looked after by a doctor at a rehabilitation centre, and then after his brother came back from New Zealand, he was looked after by him again.

Moreover, his own brother was much stricter than the doctor, not allowing this or that, just like an old nanny from the palace.

[God, please give me back the cute Outoutou who used to follow me and call me "One-chan, One-chan"! ]

"Um?"

Ori raised her own eyebrows, "Can you please repeat what you just said, sister?"

"Nothing."

Shiki quickly shrank her head, pouted and said to Nanaya unhappily: "Hey, boss. Don't you manage your employees?"

After completing rehabilitation training, Shiki became a temporary employee of [Erque Studio] and, under Ori's arrangement (instructed by Nanaya), participated in an acting training class for performance training.

Of course, Nanaya did this to prepare for the second and third chapters of "Kara no Kyoukai". These two films are expected to start shooting officially in the fall of this year and will be produced back to back.

After having the experience of directing a big project like "Goblin Slayer", it was a piece of cake for Nanaya to go back to work on a small project like "Kara".

If there is one thing that worries Nanaya about the production of the sequel to "Kara", it is the issue of the heroine.

Therefore, the most important task for Ryougi Shiki, who is about to become the heroine, is to improve her acting skills to a satisfactory level during this period of time.

Therefore, it is not wrong for Shiki to call Nanaya the boss, as she is indeed an employee of [Erque Studio] now.

In order to let Nanaya stand up for her, Shiki looked at Nanaya with pleading eyes. She knew that if there was anyone who could control her tiger aunt brother, it would only be Nanaya, her brother's senior brother.

That face that was exactly the same as Ori's was something Nanaya couldn't refuse.

So, under Shiki's delighted gaze, Nanaya challenged the great demon king Ryougi Ori.

"That Ori..."

"Senior, if you dare to plead for her, I will put my teeth into your lower mouth and make your hemorrhoids burst and bleed~"

Ori said something very scary with a smile on his face.

Nanaya immediately changed the topic and asked, "No, I just want to ask, will you go to the celebration party?"

"I will go. After all, I am also a member of [Erque Studio], and I also participated in the production of Goblin Slayer, right?"

"That's good, that's good..."

Nanaya nodded awkwardly. He didn't dare to fart any more.

The brave hero Nanaya VS the demon king Ryougi Ori, and the battle ends with the brave hero's defeat in less than one round.

Shiki looked down at Nanaya who was sitting obediently and said, "Tsk, boss, you are so useless."

"I'm sorry, Sister Shiki. I really can't afford to offend this big devil." Nanaya comforted the uninterested Shiki, "I will pack some food for you when the time comes, so don't be sad."

"But cold food doesn't taste good at all…"

Nanaya could only answer: "There's nothing I can do about it..."

Such an explanation could not satisfy Shiki. Until the day before the celebration banquet, her eyes were still full of resentment when she looked at Nanaya.
