"you!"

Takashima took a step forward, stopped in front of Izumi Ichiro, saluted him first, and then said seriously: "Mr. Izumi Ichiro, please pay attention to your identity."

"Mr. Ampei respects you as a senior, but please don't forget that Mr. Ampei is the Prime Minister of Japan. Please pay attention to your attitude."

Izumi Ichiro didn't care about Takashima's reminders and warnings at all, and said angrily: "Miss Anbei, are you really determined to be the lackey of the Dragon Kingdom? Aren't you afraid that our Japanese people will scold you!"

Hearing what Izumi Ichiro said was so unpleasant, Mistress Ampei's face darkened, and he sneered: "When it comes to the word running dog, you are a senior. Haven't you always been America's most loyal running dog?"

"The man standing behind you is none other than Mr. Parnell of the American Rockefeller Foundation."

Panier laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Mr. Ampere, don't get me wrong. My coming to your country this time is purely a personal act. I admire your country's Cherry Blossom Festival and came here to watch it. There is no other reason. Mr. Ampere

Don’t think too much.”

Miss Anbei smiled quietly and said: "Mr. Panier comes to Japan to visit the Cherry Blossom Festival. We naturally welcome him, but..."

"Why, does Mr. Ampere have any objections to me?"

Ampei Xiaosan shook his head and said: "I personally respect Mr. Panier very much, but Mr. Panier seems to have some conflicts with Ares Entertainment Company of Dragon Kingdom, and I am good friends with Zhuang Lijun of Ares Entertainment Company, which makes

I feel very embarrassed.”

Panier's eyes narrowed: "What do you mean?"

"Oh, it's nothing. The screening ceremony of Toei's "The King of Fighters 1994" will be held shortly. If Mr. Panier is interested, you can stay and watch. We still have to make some preparations, so I'll excuse you for now. I'm sorry."

After Abe-san and Takashima left, both Izumi Ichiro and Panier looked unhappy.

"Mr. Parnier, look?"

"Since that's the case, we might as well stay and see what other plans they have."

At this time, the people of Japan were also talking about it.

"Is today my lucky day? I just watched the release ceremony of Toho Corporation's "The Detective" anime, and soon there will be the release ceremony of Toei Corporation's "The King of Fighters 1994"."

"Sure enough, the Cherry Blossom Festival will bring good luck. I don't know whether to watch the release ceremony of "The King of Fighters 1994" first or the launch of "The Detective" first."

"Of course I'll watch the release ceremony of "The King of Fighters 1994" first! Anyway, "The Detective" will be re-broadcast tomorrow. I have been looking forward to the King of Fighters anime for a long time. I didn't expect that Toei Company has also mastered holographic imaging technology. Didn't Mr. Izumi Ichiro just say that

Is Toho Co., Ltd. the only company in Japan that masters this technology?”

"I don't care about this. I only know that during this Cherry Blossom Festival, I can always have my favorite holographic animation to watch. I'm so happy!"

…

Obviously, most people made the same choice, which was to watch the screening ceremony of "The King of Fighters 1994" two hours later!

Because this is what they have been waiting for for a long time and cannot be missed!

As for "Detective", there will be a rerun tomorrow anyway.

Knowing their thoughts, Izumi Ichiro would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

No matter how reluctant he was, two hours later, the screening ceremony of Toei Company's "The King of Fighters 1994" officially started.

At the same time, several anime channels in Japan also started broadcasting the first episode of "Detective".

The staff of Toho Co., Ltd. who are responsible for calculating the ratings have long been ordered by Izumi Ichiro and are ready to report the explosive ratings data to Izumi Ichiro at any time.

However, two minutes after the anime started airing, the data was far worse than expected, and even lower than the previous ratings.

"There should be a delay in the data, please wait."

The person in charge said calmly, there must be something wrong with this data now, and we cannot just report this ridiculous data to Izumi Ichiro.

Ten minutes have passed, and one-third of the first episode of "Detective" has been played.

The ratings are still horribly low.

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the person in charge, and he asked the data monitor: "Is the data still delayed?"

"Well..." the inspector replied, "no data delay was found."

"What?" The person in charge pushed away the tester and checked it himself. He didn't believe this was the real ratings of "Detective".

Totally impossible!

This is the first holographic animation made by Japan, and he also participated in the preview. The quality of the film absolutely surpasses all previous animation works in Japan, and Toho Co., Ltd. has made considerable efforts for this release.

How could such a comprehensive publicity campaign only have such low ratings!

Even if you randomly pick out a past work of Toho Co., Ltd. and play it, the ratings will not be so low!

This is not scientific!

It turns out there's nothing wrong with the data.

"Detective", which Toho Co., Ltd. created with great effort, has hit a record low in premiere ratings!

At this moment, the person in charge didn't know how to report to Izumi Ichiro.

Because even he himself doesn't believe it.

Half of the first episode of "Detective" has passed. No matter what, the results must be reported to Izumi Ichiro.

Izumi Ichiro, who was attending the screening ceremony of "The King of Fighters 1994" at the venue, had been waiting for a report from the company since the ceremony, but could not wait for a long time, and he felt increasingly uneasy.

By the time Takashima's speech on stage ended, twenty minutes had passed, which also meant that twenty minutes had passed since the premiere of "Detective"!

Izumi Ichiro almost couldn't help but take out his phone several times and wanted to call back to question him personally.

Finally, the phone rang.

"Why did you call so late?"

Faced with Izumi Ichiro's angry questioning, the person in charge did not dare to hide anything, so he had to honestly report the strange ratings of "Detective".

"President, at first I thought it was a data delay, so I didn't report it to you, but now it seems... it shouldn't be a data delay problem. I don't know what went wrong now, maybe there are some omissions in other aspects.

I'll go investigate right away."

"No need." Izumi Ichiro hung up the phone with a gloomy expression. He knew the reason without investigating.

What a joke! What a big joke! Japan’s first self-made holographic animation masterpiece, which was created with all the efforts, has a premiere rating that is the lowest ever for an anime premiere!

It is conceivable that after today, Toho Co., Ltd. will become a joke in the eyes of all Japanese film companies!

Izumi Ichiro, who spoke confidently at the "Detective" screening ceremony, will also become the laughing stock of the industry!

This year's Sakura Festival was the worst Sakura Festival Izumi has ever experienced!
