tearjerker director

Chapter 910 The past of Hong Kong Island, the spring of Hong Kong Island literary films?

Whether the schedule is not scheduled is actually not that important to "The Thief of Time" and "Sister Tao".

As for whether the simultaneous release of the two films will affect each other's box office?
There is really no need to worry about this, because these two films, whether Li Yi, Mu Qing, or the publicity company Fanhai Films, actually didn't have much expectations for the box office.

However, so this time I will try it out.

The two movies "The Thief of Time" and "Sister Tao" were bundled and released.

It even directly played the banner of "Male and Female Director" and "Lianliankan Hong Kong Island Past Events".

[-]% off for two movie packages, up to [-]% off for couples and other promotional packages.

As a result, the effect was surprisingly good.

However, the feedback from fans is particularly interesting.

"As expected of you, the dog director. What the hell, I was blind too. I actually bought a set ticket, and ended up crying after the first part, and continued to cry for the second part. The dog director is so fucking inappropriate!"

"Watching the two movies together, and then I almost didn't watch it, and I was autistic. I was always thinking, will I be like Sister Tao when I get old?"

"Time is the biggest thief, woo woo woo, "The Thief of Time" stole love, stole relatives, I couldn't help but think of my parents, and it turned out that the dog director is so fucking inappropriate, I came to take over "Sister Tao" again, and then I thought of my parents in front of me, and my grandparents in the back, and I almost cried blind!!"

"Fortunately, I didn't buy a package ticket. I only watched "The Thief of Time", and a breeze blew by, and a coolness hit me. After realizing it, I couldn't help feeling, why people are always "bearers" of fate, watching this Everything that happened, I can only accept silently. Whenever I look at the white hair on both sides of my parents’ temples, I wonder where the time has gone? Only then do I feel that time is slipping away before our eyes, and the years are also quietly stealing away. It is changing In my life, time is the biggest thief. When the autumn wind enters the night and the wind chimes ring, cherish everything in front of you.”

"I only watched "Sister Tao", and I remembered my grandma. When I was a child, my grandma loved me the most, and made me all kinds of delicious food every time, but I didn't even see her for the last time, woo woo woo!"

"It's true that there is a sister Tao around everyone. I think of my grandma. She is very similar to sister Tao. She always says things differently and has many demands. Grandma asks to go to the nursing home. Every time I say go Look at her, she said no, no, but every time I go, she always smiles from ear to ear and introduces me to other people in the nursing home, she always does that!"

"I remember the rice cakes my grandma made, but I can't eat them anymore!"

"Tear-jerking once is enough, but Director Dog came twice. This couple is really a husband and wife. Director Dog likes to watch the audience cry. As Director Dog's wife, Director Mu Qing has also begun to imitate it!"

For a while, fans talked a lot.

However, after all, it is not a commercial film, although many people recommend it, saying that these two films are worthy of sitting there quietly and watching them all night.

But the film schedule is still not high, but the attendance rate is very good.

On Hong Kong Island, "The Thief of Time" and "Sister Tao" are almost no weaker than any commercial film.

"The Thief of Time" had a box office of 280 million on the first day on Hong Kong Island.

"Sister Peach" also grossed 260 million at the Hong Kong Island box office on its first day.

The two literary films were among the top two box office hits in the Hong Kong Island market in the same period.

In the mainland, the box office is also somewhat beyond people's expectations. As we all know, unless it is a literary film like "The Truman Show", it has obvious selling points and rhythm points to achieve a certain balance between business and art. Otherwise, literary and artistic films are usually difficult to get high box office.

However, "The Thief of Time" and "Sister Tao" were bundled for promotion and release, but achieved a very good box office.

However, the box office of the two films in the mainland is the opposite of that in Hong Kong Island. "Sister Tao" is higher, reaching 1300 million at the box office on the first day, and "The Thief of Time" is slightly lower, also getting 1100 million!
As the word-of-mouth fermented, the media even called these two films the best Hong Kong Island literary films in the past ten years.

On the popular movie review website, the scores of the two films are very good. "The Thief of Time" is as high as 8.9 points, and "Sister Tao" is also 8.6 points. Although this is only the initial stage of release, the follow-up scores will drop, but they can already be counted. It was a well-received and well-received literary film.

in later time.

The box office of "The Thief of Time" and "Sister Peach" followed the fermentation of word-of-mouth. They were released on Hong Kong Island for a week and got 1400 million and 1150 million respectively. For the local box office of Hong Kong Island, this is already a very good result. .

In the mainland, "The Thief of Time" and "Sister Tao" also received good results of 6200 million and 5400 million respectively after a week of release.

On Hong Kong Island, under the influence of "The Thief of Time", the only old street Wing Lee Street, which was originally scheduled to be demolished and maintained the style of the 60s on Hong Kong Island, has also become popular on the Internet on Hong Kong Island.

Many netizens on Hong Kong Island have petitioned the government, requesting to preserve the only remaining old street.

This has also attracted the attention of social conservationists on Hong Kong Island. Some social conservationists have begun to speak publicly, saying that Wing Lee Street, an old street rich in Hong Kong Island's cultural characteristics and historical heritage, should be preserved.

And soon more and more people petitioned, and the Hong Kong government began to pay attention.

This also indirectly fueled the popularity of "The Thief of Time", and the box office continued to soar, and it immediately distanced itself from "Sister Tao".

One month after its release, "The Thief of Time" earned over [-] million box office in Hong Kong Island alone, while "Sister Peach" was slightly lower than "The Thief of Time", but it also earned over [-] million. box office.

The two films directly entered the top five box office in Hong Kong Island in the same year!

Of course, this is nothing, but the problem is that both films are literary films.

In the mainland, "Sister Tao" and "The Thief of Time" both broke through [-] million in the third week, and the former earned [-] million more than the latter.

Although the box office of more than [-] million yuan is really nothing compared to Li Yi's brilliant record in the past, you must know that these two movies are all literary and artistic.

It can be said that a commercial film of yours may have a box office of more than one billion, and two billion is considered a success, but literary films, let alone more than [-] million, generally speaking, if they can exceed [-] million at the box office, they are already counted. It is a very good result.

The things that many Hong Kong Island filmmakers and investors worried about before did not happen. At the beginning, when they invested in the series of Hong Kong Island Past Events, they were worried about whether the literary films with Hong Kong Island background would be released in the Mainland, so that audiences would have a good time. A sense of alienation, strangeness?
But the box office of "The Thief of Time" and "Sister Tao" dispelled their doubts.

Leaving aside "The Thief of Time", after all, Li Yi's own halo blessing is too obvious, but what about "Sister Tao"?

Although Mu Qing, the director of "Sister Peach", is Li Yi's daughter-in-law, after all, this movie was not directed by Li Yi. Compared with Li Yilai, Mu Qing's appeal is obviously much worse, but she still got such an award. With good results, the series of Once Upon a Time in Hong Kong Island suddenly became popular.

PS: I'm a bit stuck, sitting in front of the computer, I can't write much for a long time.
