Chapter 299

Newspapers in Japan are generally two copies a day, which is issued once in the morning and once in the evening.

So the statements of the Metropolitan Police Department and Akiwara Yuto soon appeared in the evening newspaper at 6 pm that day and were seen by at least tens of millions of people across the Nihon archipelago.

After seeing the content in the newspaper, these people also felt surprised one after another.

Now it is the second half of 93, the economy is still in a downturn, so under the situation of massive unemployment, social security is very poor, so the public is very concerned about social security.

And the Kanagawa serial murder case is undoubtedly the top priority among them.

After all, this case was not solved for a long time before, causing an extremely serious and bad social influence.

Its solving, although it cannot be called a fundamental symbol of social security improvement, at least means a guarantee for the life safety of residents.

But I didn't expect that behind this case solving, there was such an origin.

It was actually a detective writer who, while writing a movie script, provided effective case reference information to the police by investigating relevant case materials.

And this reference information allowed the police to successfully solve the case.

This matter is too bizarre, making many people even suspect it was fake for a while, and they called the newspaper one after another to inquire.

Later in the evening, the topic of "Akiwara Yuto assisting in solving the case" even appeared on relevant TV programs, which dispelled many people's doubts.

Some social critics also stood up and expressed their views and opinions one after another.

After seeing these programs, more and more people began to be curious about the cause and effect of this matter.

Along with it, the movie script Akiwara Yuto wrote based on this case also rubbed a lot of traffic.

After the press conference, Akiwara Yuto instructed Asano Aiko to let her dock with the advertising companies she contacted before and hurry up to arrange to write soft articles.

Immediately after these two days, there were many more promotions about the work "Memories of Murder" on the Internet and some magazines.

In these soft articles, the sentence "adapted from a real case" was emphasized.

Many people went to the cinema one after another under this wave of promotion and bought movie tickets for this movie.

But after a large number of people flocked to the cinema, they found that this movie was not showing, so they could only ask the ticket staff.

The ticket staff was also very helpless and could only feed back to the cinema manager.

After the latter learned about the relevant situation, they called the crew one after another, changed their previous indifferent attitude, and strongly requested to be able to screen this movie.

As for the cinemas that had already screened this movie, they increased the number of screens and screenings to maximize profits.

For a time, "Memories of Murder" was showing in cinemas across Nihon.

This made "Memories of Murder" stand out among many movies all of a sudden!

By the end of the week, the number of cooperative cinemas nationwide was more than 200, and the number of screens directly showing it was more than 400. This is completely the standard of a bestseller movie!

As for the box office, it reached a full 1.2 billion!

While the box office surged, many film critics also wrote professional book reviews in newspapers and magazines one after another.

"Zhishi News," which had cooperated with Akiwara Yuto, commented:

"As a crime-themed film, the setting and grasp of suspense are quite master-level, and the creation of a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere has a style of Hollywood blockbusters.

It is hard to imagine that such a film is adapted from a real theme.

Fortunately, because of Teacher Akiwara's help, the real murderer was finally caught."

"Film Weekly," which specializes in reviewing movies, also followed up with a film review:

"Although everyone is trying hard to approach the truth, the truth is as elusive as the criminal's shadow.

The police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department has been emphasizing analysis and calm investigation, but still learned to force a confession in one failure after another, and was even fiercer than the police in the local Kanagawa police station.

Here, the 'cat and mouse game' between police and bandits is broken, and the police become the object of being teased by criminals, making people feel deep powerlessness and despair.

It is conceivable how powerless the police were in the Kanagawa serial murder case before."

Under public opinion, some people who were not interested in the murder case also began to cast their eyes over; after all, in the past two years, few movies have been praised by everyone.

Although the mainstream media praised it unanimously, some "public intellectuals" still jumped out to speak, believing that this "Memories of Murder" is a movie completely built on the pain of the victims.

Some even claimed that this box office should be donated to the victims' families.

However, these criticisms did not stir up much splash and were even mocked by some movie fans on the Internet.

After all, Akiwara Yuto had already said at the press conference that the purpose of filming this movie was to let the public pay attention to this matter.

And from the actual situation, Akiwara Yuto also helped the police catch the suspect, isn't this the best compensation for the victims' families?

Facing this excellent situation, Asano Aiko and Utsumi Takuto were extremely excited and began further promotion.

Under her active contact, Utsumi Takuto took the main actors and began to hold touring fan meetings across the country, and cooperated with major TV stations, frequently appearing on programs for promotion.

Not only that, the 2 male leads also ran to the Kanagawa Police Station to be "honorary policemen" for a day, that is, the kind of standing on the road wearing police uniforms, just to do promotion for the Metropolitan Police Department.

Although the itinerary was very tired, watching the box office increase day by day, everyone in the crew felt a burst of excitement.

While the crew felt happy, the people at Dongying Film felt oppressive, especially Gao Cun Houyi, who was responsible for the negotiation work before, broke out in a cold sweat subconsciously.

When negotiating the copyright of "Suspect X" with Akiwara Yuto before, facing Akiwara Yuto's requirement for box office share, he had always been in a position of opposition.

He even persuaded the president and others to let Dongying Film unite with other major movie companies to issue an industry joint statement.

This made Akiwara Yuto unable to hand over the copyright to medium movie companies.

As for this "Memories of Murder," he also held a pessimistic attitude and believed that the box office would definitely collapse.

In fact, he was also preparing to wait for Akiwara Yuto's movie investment to fail, and then go to buy the film and television copyright of "Suspect" and several other popular works at a low price.

But I didn't expect that Akiwara Yuto, an outsider in the movie industry, actually wrote a script himself and invested in a bestseller movie!

Such a contrast made him speechless directly!

What made him even more embarrassed was that his president found him again and made a request:

"Gao Cun, I require you to immediately contact Akiwara Yuto and take down the movie copyright of 'Suspect X,' even if you give up 10% of the box office share!"

Gao Cun Houyi swallowed his saliva and could only agree.

However, he also knew in his heart that in the case of being able to invest and film by himself, wanting to get the copyright with the previous conditions is no longer an easy thing!

Damn, why is Akiwara Yuto's luck so good!
