tearjerker director

Chapter 389
After Li Yi's trip to UCLA ended.

With the full promotion of Dean Films, "Love is a Gift" quickly became popular on North American social networks.

It began to be reposted by countless people. This short film of less than 2 minutes has amazed many people.

In particular, the second creation based on the short film "Christmas Gift" made many netizens marvel at Li Yi's ability to turn decay into magic and mediocrity into wonder.

No matter how high the traffic is, the monetization ability of short videos is very limited, but this time, it is different.

Because "Love is a Gift" has boosted Li Yi's reputation in North America, and "A Dog's Mission" which is currently being screened is also from Li Yi's hand, so naturally it has become the largest traffic brought by "Love is a Gift" beneficiaries.

And after the movie plus five days of on-demand screenings and a week of release, the second week after the extended screening of "A Dog's Mission", although the box office inevitably declined on weekdays, the decline was only a hundred percent. About thirty points.

It is truly as stable as a dog.

For this reason, I don't know if it is a coincidence. Before Li Yi returned to China, "A Dog's Mission" officially announced that the box office exceeded [-] million!
Previously, the box office of 500 million US dollars in the first week, and the box office of over [-] million, can be said to be completely different concepts in terms of publicity.

Therefore, when the news that "A Dog's Mission" had a box office of over [-] million came back to China, it happened to coincide with the premiere of "A Dog's Mission" in China.
It's just hard for other movies in the same period.

Li Yi himself is a well-deserved No. 1 commercial film in China, not to mention, this time he is taking the international route.

And it's North America first and then China, it can be said that Li Yi really doesn't talk about martial arts!
In Li Yi's memory, the box office of "A Dog's Mission" in China in that world was not particularly high, only more than 6 million Chinese dollars.

But here, it can be said that there are two completely different concepts.

Because, first of all, "A Dog's Mission" is no longer just a Hollywood movie, but a co-production film. The key point is that the leading actor is still a Chinese actor.

Secondly, the influence and appeal of the director of this film, Li Yi, in China is not comparable to that of directors in another world.

In addition, the unexpected early release in North America, before the domestic release, the box office just broke through the [-] million US dollar mark, which boosted the popularity and anticipation of this movie.

This can be seen from the arrangement of films in theaters.

Although Luo Teng's new film "Flying Fire Meteor" and Zhao Zheng's new film "The Eagle" can be said to be no worse than Li Yi's "A Dog's Mission" in terms of cost.

The cast is not weak, and it is a movie with the main theme, which fits the National Day schedule very well.

It is a pity that, according to a certain theater manager, the main theme movies are indeed more in line with the National Day schedule, but the main theme movies in China can be divided into the main theme movies directed by Li Yi and the main theme movies directed by other directors.

Obviously, for Luo Teng and Zhao Zheng's main theme film, they did not get the same treatment as Li Yi's original "Wreath under the Mountain"!

As for the exposure and the popularity of the topic, whether it is "Flying Fire Meteor" or "Eagle", it is difficult to compare with "A Dog's Mission".

Therefore, both "Flying Fire Meteor" and "Eagle" were actually at a disadvantage in the filming!
The result did not exceed everyone's expectations.

On September 9, the three films premiered at the same time.

As a result, "A Dog's Mission" continued Li Yi's usual style. Although the word-of-mouth was not as good as Li Yi's first dog movie "The Story of Hachiko", the word-of-mouth of this movie was also very good. , with a score of 8.8 points, ranking first in the same period!
And the facts have also proved that not all the main themes are "Garland under the Mountain".

"Flying Fire and Meteor" also continued Luo Teng's bad movie style. This movie is about the aviation theme of Huaguo.

It's a pity that Luo Teng's usual style is once again fully displayed in this movie.

The score on the popular movie review website is only 6 points!
On the other hand, Zhao Zheng's "The Eagle" has a good reputation, with a score of 7.8 on the popular movie review website.

As a result, the first-day box office of the three films was released, and "A Dog's Mission" topped the box office with a first-day box office of 1.1 million Chinese dollars.

"Eagle" came second with a box office of 6000 and 5000 million yuan, and the worst was "Flying Fire Meteor", with a box office of less than [-] million Chinese dollars on the first day!
On the day of National Day, all three films had significant box office gains.

"Eagle" had the biggest increase, and its single-day box office directly exceeded [-] million.

In this regard, as long as the main theme movie is not bad, it does have a great advantage during the National Day file.

The box office of "A Dog's Mission" has also risen, continuing to lead with a box office of 1.3 million.

Although "Flying Fire and Meteor" has a lot of publicity, but the quality of the movie is not good. Although there is an increase in the result, the box office on the National Day is only 6000 million.

Compared to Luo Teng who wanted to cry but had no tears, his guts were full of remorse, but Huang Zhenyi, who had moved up earlier, Tang Lu, who had postponed it later, and Ping Xiaosi, who had decisively walked away as soon as he saw the news, all heaved a sigh of relief.

In the following time, although the box office of "A Dog's Mission" was not as exaggerated as "I'm Not the God of Medicine" and "Garland Under the Mountain".

However, the addition of September 9 to the seven-day National Day holiday allowed the domestic box office to reach 30 billion Chinese dollars!
In North America, after "A Dog's Mission" successfully surpassed 5000 million in the first ten days, the National Day Week in China continued to advance steadily in North America, earning nearly [-] million at the box office.

Let the total box office in North America reach 1.5 million US dollars.

And this is a co-production.

It can be said that the success of "A Dog's Mission" in China and North America has also made those companies that have always wanted to engage in co-productions focus on this kind of animal movie themes.

In fact, I don’t blame them for thinking this way. The main reason is that Li Yi’s movie not only blossomed in China and North America in "A Dog's Mission", but also that the previous "The Story of Hachiko" was not shown in theaters in North America, but it was released on DVD. Release sales were also very high.

So, this is traceable.

And with the cooperation of "A Dog's Mission", it can be said that Dean Pictures is very eager to continue to cooperate with Li Yi, and they are even wondering whether they can start the first filming of "A Dog's Mission" Two.

Oceanwide Film and Television, Dean Films, and even Huaying tried their best to persuade Li Yi to start a sequel.

After all, "A Dog's Mission" is really lucrative, and the key point is that this is an extremely rare case of a Chinese-American co-production that exploded in both markets.

But Li Yi didn't have such an idea at all.

Because in his opinion, "A Dog's Mission" has already told the story, and making a sequel is just a similar story. It is difficult to surpass the first one, and he has new ideas.
