Regarding the fact that he was criticized verbally and written, Li Yi took it very lightly. Anyway, even if he was scolded a few times, he would not lose a hair, and I am afraid there are countless directors who want such treatment but cannot get it. p>
Late at night, Li Yi, Mu Nanxing and others were waiting for the box office results to be released on the premiere day.
Li Yi is actually quite looking forward to the box office performance of this movie.
In my memory, the reputation of this movie is the best among pet movies. Li Yi doesn't know about other places, but in China, such a movie will definitely not worry about being a hit.
Facts have also proved that Li Yi's idea is correct.
Although the film was released in a hurry and was not even screened in advance to warm up the reputation, the box office on the first day still gave a very good result.
48 million!
This is the daily box office of "The Story of Hachiko" on Double Eleven.
If this number is placed in a popular period, it is indeed not particularly high, but in a period like Double Eleven, this number is satisfactory enough.
In fact, everyone knows that the true potential of "The Story of Hachiko" has not yet fully exploded.
After all, it was the first day of release, so word-of-mouth has only begun to spread and ferment, but it has not yet translated into box office.
The key lies in the follow-up.
However, with such a box office, Li Yi and others can sleep peacefully.
After this number came out, many people were destined to have sleepless nights.
Before this, although there were many pet movies every year, in fact, this category has never been a mainstream hot-selling category.
The current highest box office for pet movies is 200 million held by Zhao Qingyan.
Obviously, judging from the current daily box office and the good reputation that is gradually developing for "The Story of Hachiko", this movie, 200 million? It is probably just his box office for one weekend.
The box office prediction agency predicts that the box office landing point of "The Story of Hachiko" will be no less than that of "Mom Love Me Again"!
And this is still a conservative prediction.
Doesn’t this prove that pet movies have great potential?
As for why so many previous pet movies failed to be such a hit, in their view, it is simply because they failed to grasp the context and the audience's preferences.
And now, with the example of "The Story of Hachiko the Faithful Dog", can we also try to get a share of the pie?
After all, the cost of this kind of movie is not high, but once it succeeds, it will definitely be able to sustain itself.
The next day, the media who attended the premiere yesterday also reported on "The Story of Hachiko".
"Simple story, soothing soundtrack, loyal puppy, warm affection, silent tears, a very touching film. How long is the life of a dog? I have been waiting silently for nearly ten years, just for that
If a love in life is only like the first time we meet, no matter how many people can achieve it, maybe we humans are always tied up by worldly things. Compared with dogs, our love is really not pure enough.
”——Penguin Entertainment.
"Waiting for ten years for a love is almost a lifetime for a dog. What makes Xiaoba so persistent? Is it the warm smile on the cold night when we first met at the station, or the wholehearted companionship for the next few years?"
——"Southern Weekend"
"My life started from the day I met you... Xiaoba is worthy of the name of a loyal dog!" - "Beijing Entertainment"
"This is an ordinary but profound story. A loyal dog has been waiting for his owner to come back. This is the relationship between dogs and people, pure and flawless. Following "The Gift of Room No. 7" and "Mother"
"Love Me Again" is Li Yi's tear-jerking masterpiece, highly recommended!" - "Wen Wei Po"
""Hachi the Dog" - If you raise me, I will only have you for the rest of my life." - "China Film Weekly"
As the word-of-mouth reputation fermented and the media reported one after another, "Hachi", which had zero negative reviews, began to take the country by storm on the second day of its release!
As a result, "The Story of Hachiko" was a box office hit on Saturday, the second day of its release!
The daily box office exceeded 80 million, almost double that of the premiere day!
"The Story of Hachiko the Loyal Dog" is completely popular!
The content of the movie Crazy Amway can be seen everywhere on the Internet, in Moments, social platforms, and Weibo.
When a movie is spread by word of mouth, even if the audience is not too cold about this type of movie, they will still be unable to restrain their curiosity and go to see it. This seems to have also contributed to the popularity of "Hachi the Dog"
Story" box office.
Because, at this moment, "The Story of Hachiko" is the kind of movie that can be passed on by word of mouth among audiences. Only movies that leave a deep impression on people after watching them will make people spontaneously recommend it to others. Of course, you may also want to let others feel the pain you feel while watching the movie.
Who can endure the tear-jerking drama for half an hour?
So, let’s feel the pain together! This may be the reason why many people are crazy about this Amway movie and show it to their relatives, friends, bosses and subordinates.
But no matter what, "The Story of Hachiko the Faithful Dog" was a complete hit!
On Sunday, the box office of "The Story of Hachiko" once again increased. Although the increase was not large, it was still surprising and numbing.
With a box office of 88 million, within three days of its release, the box office exceeded 200 million and reached 216 million!
In just one opening weekend, it surpassed the previous highest box office record for a pet movie set by Zhao Qingyan.
But this is just the beginning of this movie!
Li Yi's three movies are also called Li Yi's tear-jerking trilogy by the media. Each one is more tear-jerking than the last, and "The Story of Hachiko" has reached its peak.
It’s not that the first two films weren’t tear-jerking enough, but the last one took half the movie to be a crazy tear-jerker.
Sensational trilogy, tear-jerking trilogy, etc., and so on, the names are hung on the heads of these three movies.
Li Yi is also officially regarded by the media as the best sensationalist and tear-jerking director in China.
At the same time, Li Yi's words at the premiere: "I just like to see you cry" were also taken out by the good guys, confirming his reputation as a tear-jerking director.
"The Story of Hachiko" can be said to have the least publicity pressure among the three movies, because, up to now, it doesn't even need to do much publicity at all. The tap water of this movie has been spontaneous and there have been too many reports.
Much.
After this movie was released, there was a very interesting thing, that is, the sales of pet dogs in many pet stores increased significantly, especially the Chinese garden dog, which was the same species as Xiaoba and was not favored at first, actually became a pet dog.
The best-selling pet, as a result, pet concept stocks on China’s stock market actually experienced a collective surge.
The subsequent box office trend of "The Story of Hachiko" is also quite stable.
After a full week of release, the box office exceeded 500 million!
Although there was inevitably a relatively large drop in the second week, it still achieved a box office of nearly 300 million.
It has earned 800 million in box office within two weeks of its release, and it is almost only a matter of time before this movie breaks through 1 billion.
No one expected that the movie that once again exceeded 1 billion would be a small-budget feature film, and it was also created by Pet Movie.
