"My Neighbor Totoro" re-screened for 4 days and box office exceeded 100 million yuan. The old classic reappeared its immortal charm

The classic animation work "My Neighbor Totoro" directed by Hayao Miyazaki was re-screened after 30 years and hit the big screen in China. Since its release on December 14, it has received widespread attention. As of 19:00 yesterday, the cumulative box office of the film has reached 110 million yuan, breaking through 1.5 billion yen in three days. This result has surpassed many new animations. In Japan, it is very difficult for a movie to have a box office of 1.5 billion yen (about 100 million yuan), and it is very rare to break through 100 million yen. Therefore, the box office results achieved in China have to make Japanese media sigh: The potential of the Chinese film market is too terrifying and it is really unfathomable.

After the re-release of Hayao Miyazaki's classic film "My Neighbor Totoro", the box office performance was really impressive, so it is very likely that other films by Hayao Miyazaki will be re-released in the future.

This re-screening of "My Neighbor Totoro" 30 years later is also the first time that Hayao Miyazaki's film has been widely screened in mainland China. In fact, when the great film "Spirited Away" was released in 2001, it had the opportunity to be screened in mainland China. However, at that time, the mainland film market had just been reformed, the number of big screens was pitifully small, and the mechanism for introducing imported films was not mature. In the end, there was no choice, and "Spirited Away" was only screened in Taiwan and Hong Kong in China. So before the old man retired, his films had never been screened in mainland China, which is really a pity.

Fortunately, we caught up with the re-screening. We were all children who were once touched by Mr. Miyazaki Hayao, and we finally had the opportunity to repay the movie ticket we owed him. I thought that the re-screening of "My Neighbor Totoro" would not make much of a splash at the box office, with the aftereffects of "Aquaman" and several other films competing in the same period. But I never expected that "My Neighbor Totoro" would be so charming. After everyone had watched it several times and was familiar with the plot, the box office was about to hit 150 million in just a few days of release.

This result is really very good, and it is definitely an unexpected achievement. Therefore, the re-introduction of other films by Mr. Hayao Miyazaki is basically inevitable. It depends on the timing and which films are introduced first. The most talked-about Japanese film this year is Shoplifters, which won the Palme d'Or by Hirokazu Koreeda, but the box office still did not exceed 100 million after its release in mainland China. There is also Zhang Yimou's film Red Sorghum, which landed in the National Art Federation Cinema in October this year. It is also a classic old movie that was re-screened 30 years later, but it only had a box office of 800,000.

Therefore, with this comparison, we can see how successful the re-release of "My Neighbor Totoro" is. It is simply "an old clam gives birth to a pearl", creating another glory. It can be seen that the charm of this classic "My Neighbor Totoro" has not diminished. Mr. Miyazaki Hayao is definitely a great man, and his movies also have a very deep audience base.

The story of "My Neighbor Totoro" is very simple, the characters are also very simple, and there is basically no strong dramatic conflict. It simply relies on a story similar to an adventure to complete the expression of the entire theme. This is the most classic classical single-line narrative structure, which is simple and powerful. It immediately captures the softest part of the audience's heart, thereby gaining an artistic power that transcends time and space and lasts forever. Therefore, even after another 100 years, Hayao Miyazaki's movies will still be the most outstanding animated movies of mankind.

There are no villains, no evil people, and no melodramatic things in Hayao Miyazaki's movies. He is a kind man, an angel, and a person who has everything in the world in his heart. Therefore, he deliberately blocks the dirtiness and meanness in life and only conveys beauty and innocence, as well as all the good qualities of human beings. He makes fairy tales for adults, so that they don't grow up, don't let them forget their childhood, forget their hometown, forget innocence and kindness.

In "My Neighbor Totoro", Xiaoyue's family just moved to a small village. They met all good people, enthusiastic grandmothers and aunts, and enthusiastic villagers. Even the little boy who was a little annoying at the beginning was so warm. He liked to tease Xiaoyue and make faces at her. But when it rained, Xiaoyue didn't bring an umbrella, so he sent the umbrella to Xiaoyue, without saying a word. Xiaoyue didn't take it, so he threw the umbrella down and went home in the rain. When he got home, his mother blamed him for losing the umbrella again. He still didn't say a word, but just wiped his wet hair with a towel. Every girl in this world is the most beautiful and lovely person, and then one day you will meet a stupid and silly boy. When he slowly approaches you, you will definitely think he is a silly existence, but please be sure to observe more. It's hard to say, he just wants to attract your attention, and is eager to follow your footsteps, accompany you to the end of the world, until sunrise and sunset, forever and ever.

The monsters in Hayao Miyazaki's movies are all cute and harmless, and they even have a sense of loneliness. Look at Totoro, fat and homebody, and he will sleep in a tree hole when he is full. He doesn't say a word, and when he is lonely, he will just stand on the treetop, letting the moonlight pour down, and he will just look into the distance quietly. Totoro is also playful and has a bad taste. He likes to listen to the rain and the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella. It is so happy when it keeps dripping. How can this big Totoro look like a playful child? Yes, it is a child, and it only makes friends with innocent children. Did the sisters Xiaoyue rely on innocence to get the pass to the forest? No, they rely on innocence. Only children with a free and kind heart can meet Totoro and then take the cat bus to realize the purest wishes.

Friends who grew up watching Hayao Miyazaki's movies must not let down Hayao Miyazaki's teachings over the years. No matter how difficult the world is, we must be an upright and kind person. One day, the dream will come true, and it will also give love and freedom to the world. Even if life is difficult and we have been living in the quagmire of life, we must be happy. After all, we all grew up watching Hayao Miyazaki's beautiful movies.
