Regarding the fact that he was criticized verbally and written, Li Yi took it very lightly. Anyway, he would not lose even a hair if he was scolded a few times, and I am afraid that there are countless directors who want such treatment but cannot get it.
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 also proved that Li Yi's idea was 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 the word-of-mouth had just begun to spread and fermented, but it had not yet translated into box office.
The key still depends on 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? I'm afraid it's just his box office for one weekend.
The box office prediction agency predicts that the box office landing point of "The Story of Hachiko" is not lower 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 achieve such success, 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 is successful, it will definitely be able to make ends meet.
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 just like the first meeting, even 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" Gu Fu
As word of mouth grew and the media reported it, "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 day after it was released!
The daily box office exceeds 80 million, almost double that of the premiere day!
"The Story of Hachiko" is a hit!
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, maybe you also want others to feel the pain you feel when you watch the movie.
Who can endure a full half-hour of tear-jerking drama?
So, let’s feel the pain together! This may be the reason why many people are crazy about showing this movie 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 significant, 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, reaching 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 a full half of the movie to be crazy and tear-jerking.
The sensational trilogy, the tear-jerking trilogy, etc., are all titled 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 is spontaneous and there are too many reports. many.
After the 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 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 received nearly 300 million at the box office.
It has earned 800 million at the 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 broke 1 billion again would be a small-budget feature film, and it was created by Pet Movie.
