Chapter 426 The popular “Leon: The Professional” and the birth of “Shonen Manga Dream”

Onino Takeshi didn’t know that Shuichi Akai was misunderstood by both his companions and his archenemy. So it is said that the prejudice in people’s hearts is like a mountain.

But now Miyano Akemi has become Yanma Ai. What would Akai Shuichi think if he knew her identity?
If we continue our past relationship, it would be like refining copper.

This is really… so interesting.

Gui Yewu was a little gloating, but what made him even happier was the premiere box office results he received the next day.

2400 yen!
A surprising number.

Following this trend, the first week box office is expected to exceed 2 million.

Apart from Onino Takeshi’s movies, this result is already extremely outstanding.

There is no doubt that “Léon: The Professional” is a hit!
Akira Kurosawa proved that he is still as good as ever, and as the emperor of Japanese films of the previous generation, he still has a base of fans. As his final work, it has received widespread attention since the start of filming.

Now that the movie is released, many fans have spontaneously bought tickets.

And the result did not disappoint them. “Léon: The Professional” itself is an extremely classic film, and the combination of Kurosawa Akira + Akai Shuichi + Enma Ai is no worse than the original.

Therefore, the audience who watched the movie felt that the trip was worthwhile.

Kurosawa was also very satisfied with this. With this work as his last, he had no regrets.

However, along with the popularity of “Léon: The Professional”, various controversies and criticisms also followed.

The most controversial point is undoubtedly the “love between people of different ages” between Leon and Matilda.

Some film critics criticized the film for having distorted values ​​and said it should be banned.

This statement gained support from some viewers.

However, more viewers who were conquered by the movie immediately raised objections, and both sides held their own opinions and the debate was extremely fierce.

The dispute between the two sides also increased the popularity of “Léon: The Professional”.

Onino Takeshi and Onino Eiga did not take any action to stop this.

There are topics only when there are controversies, and there is traffic only when there are topics.

Black and red are also red.

Besides, this movie really lives up to its name as a classic.

In the previous life, “Leon: The Professional” also caused quite a stir and was questioned a lot.

But this does not prevent it from being on the list of classics.

Even “The Shawshank Redemption”, “Forrest Gump” and “Pulp Fiction” released in the same year could not completely overshadow its brilliance.

The two people saved each other and became each other’s spiritual support.

Not all film critics are scoundrels, of course they can see the connotation and depth of this movie.

Therefore, compared to criticism, there are more positive reviews.

The previous controversy may have been fueled by Onino Eiga.

But Gui Yewu doesn’t need to worry about these little things.

The first week’s results also proved the popularity of this movie –

Successfully exceeded 2 million!
A perfect answer!

“Léon: The Professional” has touched countless audiences with its themes of redemption and humanity, as well as its profound emotional connotations.

With such a successful start, Onino Film and the creative team were naturally very excited.

With the popularity of the movie, the leading actors Akai Shuichi and Enma Ai naturally became popular stars.

As a little girl, she was able to portray Matilda’s restrained yet unrestrained emotions so vividly, which is difficult for adult actors to do, and it is even more rare for a child.

Enma Ai has also been evaluated by various media as the second most talented child star after Haibara Ai!

As for Shuichi Akai, it’s a bit difficult to comment.

It was definitely a big hit, and it can be said that he became an overnight sensation, catching up with Kenzaki Osamu’s fame.

The image of a long black coat and woolen hat has also become a classic look in film history.

However, along with the praise, there are also some labels that make people laugh.

Such as “Girl Killer”… and so on.

The movie was even jokingly named “This Killer Is Not So Cool.”

Although most of them were harmless jokes, they still made Shuichi Akai feel extremely speechless when they reached his ears.

Especially when facing Kamal and others, he had an expression as if he wanted to laugh but didn’t dare to.

Akai Shuichi’s reputation was damaged: …

……

Compared to the depressed Shuichi Akai, Takeshi Ono was in a good mood at the moment.

“The Adventures of Jackie Chan: The 12 Talismans” once again took his reputation in the world a big step forward, and the follow-up “Léon: The Professional” was another huge success, filling the entire Onino Film Company with a joyful atmosphere.

Moreover, these two movies, especially “Jackie Chan Adventures: The 12 Talismans”, not only have excellent reputations, but also made considerable profits.

Thanks to the mysterious timeline of the Conan world, Onino Eiga was able to recover its funds very quickly.

In less than a month, the dividends began to arrive.

If you have money in your hand, of course you have to spend it. If you keep it in your hand, you can’t make any money.

Onino Takeshi allocated half of the funds to the North American branch. The negotiations with the TV stations there have made some progress. I believe it will not take long for them to set up their own TV network. In addition, the acquisition of cinema chains cannot be left behind.

The area of ​​North America is far larger than that of Japan, and the funds required are inestimable, so we can only proceed step by step.

However, more than a dozen cinemas have been acquired, mainly located in major cities in the west, which requires Takeshi Ono to continue to mobilize funds.

Part of the remaining money was used for the development of the Onino Group, and the rest was used by Onino Takeshi to acquire several companies.

Including a publishing house, a music production company and a gaming company.

They are not large in scale, but they have everything they need, including equipment, channels, and distribution networks.

Therefore, the financial cost is not cheap, but Takeshi Ono thinks it is worth it.

Although the Onino Group has been established, Onino Takeshi’s real focus has always been on the entertainment industry, and his goal is to build an entertainment business empire.

Nowadays, in terms of movies, it has almost reached its peak, at least in Japan.

Not to mention Gui Ye Wu himself, he deserves the title of the first person.

Onino Eiga is no longer inferior to top film companies such as Toei, Shochiku, and Toho.

In terms of special effects, Guiye’s special effects are unique and unrivaled in the country.

The same is true for Tsuburaya. In terms of special effects dramas, the “Ultraman” series has gradually surpassed “Kamen Rider” and has become the most popular special effects drama at the moment.

Not to mention the remaining Touto TV, the TV dramas and variety shows it produces have repeatedly broken ratings records, and it has been competing with Nichimi TV for the top spot.

The situation is excellent.

Therefore, Gui Yewu felt that it was necessary to work hard and expand in other areas.

Since it is an entertainment empire, the above-mentioned things are not enough, and it must expand into more areas.

Therefore, while maintaining its basic base, the Onino Group will focus more on other aspects.

The first thing to be affected is comics!
In Japan, the comics industry can be said to be one of the pillar industries. It has a very wide audience, covering all age groups. It is not positioned as something that only children like like in China.

The resulting economic benefits are naturally enormous.

Excellent comics are popular all over the country and even the world, and the profits they bring are no less than those of movies.

Gui Yewu naturally would not let go of this piece of fat meat.

Long before, he had set up a studio and recruited great talents like Gosho Aoyama.

But that’s not enough!
So Takeshi Ono decided to directly acquire a publishing house, changed its name to “Tenkasha”, and prepared to publish his own comic magazine like Shogakukan and Shueisha.

The name is “Young Manga Dream”!
Although Tenkasha cannot be compared with large comic magazines such as Shueisha in terms of size and channels, with the strong financial support of the Onino Group, its future development cannot be underestimated.

What’s more, Gui Yewu can cheat.

The positioning of “Shonen Manga Dream” is based on “Weekly Shonen Jump”, focusing on hot-blooded and funny anime, in order to attract teenagers who are the main force of comics.

For this purpose, Gui Yewu directly took out a trump card!
First of all, there are three classic civilian comics——

“Naruto”, “Bleach”, “One Piece”

Sports…Slam Dunk, Captain Tsubasa, and Haikyuu!

Fighting… “Fist of the North Star”, “One Punch Man”, “Saint Seiya”

Comedy…Gintama, Udon, The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.

Fantasy…JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Sailor Moon

Takeshi Onino came up with a bunch of future popular comic themes and ideas in one breath, all of which are classics.

It was enough for the launch of Shonen Manga Dream and for a long period of time.

Gui Yewu still felt it was not enough and felt a little regretful.

It’s a pity that this world has already produced “Dragon Ball” and “Doraemon”, which are truly unrivaled masterpieces…

However, even the above are enough to make “Shonen Manka Dream” a popular comic magazine.

It can even be said to be luxurious!
But since Gui Yewu has taken action, he must naturally go all out.

Of course, he only came up with the ideas and outlines for these works, and the cartoonists still need to perfect them in detail.

But with the complete outline and settings provided by Takeshi Ono, I believe it can be restored to a large extent even without the great gods from the previous life.

What’s more, Gui Yewu’s preparations don’t stop there.

Long time ago, he had been looking for those future comic masters who had not yet become famous through various channels.

Coincidentally, he believed that since Gosho Aoyama existed in this world, other great gods might also exist.

It turned out that Gui Yewu’s guess was correct.

After some searching, he really found several future great gods——

Yoshihiro Togashi!

Araki Hirohiko!
Eiichiro Oda!
Masami Kurumada!

Although the age, experience and occupation are different, it is definitely me.

After many trials and tribulations, Gui Ye Wu found four undiscovered pearls. The others may have disappeared without a trace and may not exist in this world.

But it is enough.

Gui Yewu personally invited and recruited the four great artists into the studio.

At this moment, everything is ready!
