After Katsushira and two groups of reporters from the New York Post left one after another, the interview area became a little quieter.
But the reporters haven't finished their visit yet.
After all, many reporters did not receive invitations to attend the premiere.
They only have press passes so they can only stay in the interview area, otherwise the security personnel of Washimine Entertainment will not be so easy to talk to.
"Look! Nanaya Kiryu is coming!"
I don't know who shouted, but the attention of other reporters was immediately drawn to it.
Agrus, who was about to enter the venue, stopped and looked in the direction indicated by the crowd. He found a man in a black suit walking towards him.
Agrus hesitated for a moment, then he immediately gave up the idea of entering the cinema, and instead turned on the recorder and walked forward.
With such a great opportunity ahead of him, Agrus naturally wanted to interview this director who dared to invest huge sums of money to shoot and produce a film with mainly female characters.
[Sorry, that unknown female reporter. I got the interview with Nanaya Kiryu first.]
Nanaya had just finished walking the red carpet at this time.
When he arrived, he saw many fans holding posters of Luvia, Yumi and Rin.
There are also quite a few posters of Gakki and Kujo Fuu, but the number is slightly less than the previous three.
[Is it really a problem with the actor's status? ]
It is not a good thing that the popularity difference among the five leading actors is too big.
In particular, when popularity does not match the amount of plot, it can easily cause misalignment in the crew's publicity.
[I hope things will get better after the movie is released. ]
Even though Nanaya himself is a complete blue fan.
But he personally still thinks that the ideal state of the "Madoka Magica" group is that Yumi and Rin are slightly better, and the other three are basically the same.
But it's hard to say about this kind of thing.
Before "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released, who would have thought that the most successful character of the trio would be Captain Jack?
Before the animated version of "Pokémon" was broadcast, Pikachu's popularity was far less than that of Clefairy.
Even the work "Madoka Magica".
When the Moe War started, probably no one thought that the senior would win the Moe King title.
——Although there is the factor of backstabbing by the senior's fans.
[Forget it, I'll modify the publicity and promotion plan based on the specific situation at that time. ]
Nanaya walked into the interview area with this thought in mind.
For the sake of promoting the film, Nanaya didn't mind doing the film himself this time.
The questions asked by the reporters in the interview area were relatively formulaic, and Nanaya's answers did not contain anything unexpected.
In fact, even if the reporter from the New York Post was still present, he would not ask any deferential questions in front of the camera and Nanaya Kiryu.
After answering a few routine questions, Nanaya suddenly saw a reporter with a "Premiere" badge squeezing through the crowd and coming up to him.
The man with short green hair asked loudly, "Director Kiryu, do you think Madoka Magica will be successful?"
"Of course it will succeed!"
At this point, how could Nanaya possibly doubt his own movie?
Not to mention that he is really very confident, even if he has no confidence, he has to bite the bullet and say that he succeeded.
At this time, it is better to lose the game than the reputation. Even if the reputation really collapses, we have to wait until the premiere is over.
What's more, Nanaya doesn't think his movie is worse than others.
So Nanaya asked back: "Have you seen the trailer? Don't you think the film is wild and full of incredible imagination and creativity?"
"The charming scenery of the modern city, the endless charm of the magical girls, the heroic spirit when fighting against the witches, and the unforgettable songs..."
Nanaya listed off the movie's advantages that made it a hit, appearing particularly confident in front of the camera.
"I think the film Madoka Magica has all the elements to be a successful commercial film. It's bound to be a box office hit."
Nanaya didn't care if he would be slapped in the face later, but he absolutely could not say anything discouraging now.
Of course, Nanaya still had some reservations.
For example, he chose to avoid talking about the twists and turns of the story of "Madoka Magica".
The red carpet ceremony was still going on, but Nanaya didn't want to continue waiting in the interview area.
So after answering this question, Nanaya left the interview area and walked directly into the cinema.
Originally Nanaya was planning to go to the VIP room. After all, all the important guests were there, and as the host, he naturally had to receive some of the guests.
But as soon as Nanaya walked into the cinema, he saw a reporter who looked very familiar to him.
Ms. Katsushira came in front of Nanaya and said with a smile: "Director Kiryu, long time no see."
Nanaya also showed a charming smile: "Ms. Katsushika, welcome to the premiere. I was wondering why I didn't see you in the interview area just now."
"Oh, there are too many people over there." Katsushirana's tone was as if they were old friends. "Besides, I want to interview you, a great director. Do I need to queue up there?"
"That's true." Nanaya nodded in agreement, "If Ms. Katsushika wants to interview me, I'm always welcome."
"Then I would like to thank Director Kiryu first."
Katsushira smiled happily: "When the box office of Madoka Magica surpasses that of Titanic, I will come and do an interview with you."
Nanaya raised her eyebrows: "Ms. Katsushika is so confident in me?"
"Didn't you say that yourself, Director Kiryu? How could Director Kiryu lose?"
Katsushira blinked at Nanaya: "Don't you agree, Director Kiryu?"
"Certainly."
Nanaya raised the corners of his mouth confidently.
"By the way, about the premiere of Thor..."
Katsushira looked around and then asked Nanaya in a low voice.
"I already know. Thank you Ms. Katsushika for your help to Washimine Entertainment."
Nanaya knew that what Katsushira wanted to ask about was the USB flash drive that she gave him last time.
The content inside is still very useful to Nanaya and Washimine Entertainment.
The USB flash drive contained some internal secrets of News Corporation, as well as evidence of Avi Arad's cooperation with News Corporation and News Corporation's surveillance of Nanaya.
To be honest, it's really amazing that Miss Katsushika was able to find this evidence.
You have to know that there are many things in it that even Washimine can't get.
However, in order not to alert the enemy, Washimine will definitely not make the contents of the USB flash drive public right now.
But in the future, this information will definitely become a handful of soil to bury News Corporation.
As for Avi Arad, Shion has already sent someone to keep an eye on him, but the specific way to deal with him has not yet been decided.
After all, the company's CEO actually took the initiative to sell company secrets.
This scandal of "Why did Your Majesty rebel" must not be known to the outside world, otherwise the credibility of Marvel and Washimine Entertainment will definitely suffer an unprecedented blow.
However, Nanaya estimated that Arad would have a hard time in the future.
Originally, seeing that the other party was so tactful, Shion planned to let him enjoy his old age.
Now it seems that it is a question whether Arad can retire normally.
After exchanging a few words with Miss Katsushira, Nanaya walked into the VIP room.
He made a point of greeting every guest who came, and even the senior executives of Sony Columbia who came to congratulate him, Nanaya greeted them with a smile.
Even though Washimine Headquarters and Sony's gaming division are currently competing fiercely in the field of current-generation game consoles, Washimine Entertainment and Sony Columbia are in a honeymoon period.
Even after Seven Nights reached an agreement with Columbia executives, the two sides were negotiating the film and television rights to Spider-Man.
Columbia has now concluded the old Spider-Man trilogy series.
The original fourth part has come to a standstill due to a series of reasons including the starring film.
Columbia is currently considering rebooting the Spider-Man film series.
Nanaya instructed Marvel to take the initiative to approach at this time, hoping that both parties would cooperate and make Spider-Man a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Columbia was also a little hesitant about the olive branch extended by Marvel Studios.
Anyone who is not blind can see the popularity of the MCU, but it is still unknown whether this set of things can stir up the heat.
Coupled with the huge gap in profit sharing between the two parties, the negotiations on the copyright of "Spider-Man" were not very smooth.
After all, at this time, "Spider-Man" had not yet experienced the failure of "The Amazing Spider-Man 2", and the MCU series had not yet reached its peak.
But after "Avengers" is released next year, the whole world will see the economic value that the movie universe can generate.
Nanaya believes that Colombia will definitely change its views.
It doesn't matter if nothing changes. At most, the other party will come up to you on their own initiative in two years.
It would be better if Spider-Man could join Marvel in the second phase, but it wouldn't be a big loss if he can't.
Columbia probably has the same idea, and now the cameos between Marvel movies are just small-time appearances.
We will have to wait and see how the movie universe turns out after the performance of "The Avengers."
As long as the popularity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is worthy of the name of Spider-Man, the price offered by Marvel Studios will be appropriate.
Columbia didn't mind lending the other party the copyright to Spider-Man.
Since you can make money while lying down, why should you stand?
As for the questions from the head office or the game department.
Sony Columbia didn't take it seriously at all.
After all, the competition between Sony's departments is extremely fierce.
Columbia executives don't feel they have done anything wrong.
Look at the lens department next door.
In order to ensure the performance of its own camera lenses, it was only willing to equip the mobile phone department with lenses that had long been obsolete.
Isn't it true that the supervisor is still getting promoted and getting a raise, and is reaching the peak of his life?
I can bring more benefits to Colombia, so why can't I cooperate with Washimine Entertainment?
Besides, what does our cooperation with Sony Columbia and Marvel Films have to do with the Washimine Group?
"Isn't that right, Director Kiryu?"
The Colombian executive asked Nanaya with a smile on his face.
"You are absolutely right. If I were a senior executive at Sony, I would definitely give you a bigger year-end bonus!"
Nanaya agreed wholeheartedly.
Of course, this was Nanaya's praise from Washimine Entertainment's perspective.
If Nanaya is really a senior executive at Sony, he will definitely tie up all these traitors and sink them into Tokyo Bay!
