(Central News Agency reporter Wang Hsin-yu, Taipei, 29th) The Japanese interactive animation film 'Hypnosis Mic' has started screening today at Vie Show Cinemas across Taiwan. Producer Rikiya Mizoe also came to Taiwan for promotion, revealing that some Japanese fans have watched it over 100 times, and he will sneak into Taiwanese cinemas tonight to observe audience reactions.
'Hypnosis Mic' has grossed NT$2.8 billion (approximately NT$553 million) since its release in Japan in February last year. Taiwan is its first overseas screening location. Mizoe Rikiya said in an interview today, 'I am very excited to let Taiwanese audiences see this work so quickly in cinemas.' He laughed and said he would sneak into a Taipei cinema tonight and vote with the audience.
The film has 48 story paths and 7 endings, with the audience voting to decide the outcome. Mizoe Rikiya emphasized the 'fairness' in production. To avoid favoritism towards any character, the team strictly controlled the lines and song lengths of the 21 main characters, ensuring that every fan could feel the charm of their favorite character.
Mizoe Rikiya said that due to the intricate details, the production period lasted 5 years. 'Even the production team couldn't watch all versions completely in the cinema.' However, data from the backend showed that some fans had watched all endings, and some audiences had watched it over 100 times.
'Hypnosis Mic' is now screening at Vie Show Cinemas. From today until May 7, purchasing one movie ticket allows redemption of a limited first-week special A3 poster. (Editor: Li Hengan) 1150429
