Director: The special effects are too expensive, so I had to make real shots

Chapter 24 Set off a wave of heated discussions on AI

Xu Nuo has already been mentally prepared for the low first-day screening rate of "Terminator".

After all, among the seven movies released today, except Xu Nuo's "Terminator", the other six movies are basically well-known.

Either the director is famous.

One of the costume films and Zhang Xiaolong, the director of "The Love of the Stars", are both domestic first-line directors.

Or it is more famous stars and actors in the movie.

Or maybe I made a movie with a good reputation many years ago, but I haven't made much in these years, and then I made a movie about him this year, which can also arouse the feelings of many people.

The movie theater arranges the films on the first day, and what you watch is the comprehensive performance of the movie.

That is to say, "Terminator" created a wave of popularity before it was released, otherwise it is estimated that it would not even get 7.4% of the box office.

As for "The Love of the Stars", which is the same sci-fi theme as "The Terminator", under the vigorous marketing of Goose Factory Films, it has always been highly popular before its release, and the hot searches have been repeated. stubble.

Therefore, it is not surprising that it won 27.1% of the film layout.

Xu Nuo did some calculations. Although his "Terminator" only accounted for 7.4% of the film schedule, in fact, as long as the attendance rate is higher, it can also get a good box office result.

And if the performance on the first day of release is a little better, the subsequent film schedule will definitely continue to rise.

In the history of film at home and abroad, there are not a few films that have a poor box office due to the rate of filming in the early stage, and counterattacked and surpassed in the middle and late stages to become dark horses.

The next day, November 6.

Seven films were officially released, kicking off the prelude to the summer holiday——

Xu Nuo's mood has been more disturbed since this morning.

Because from today's data, it can be roughly inferred that "The End" can achieve a good box office result, and whether it can achieve the 20 billion box office goal set by the system.

"Guan Ju, take a look at the attendance rate of our "Terminator" filming today?"

Xu Nuo wanted to know some statistics, so he asked Guan Ju to make statistics.

"Boss, according to the comprehensive statistics of Taopiao, Yingduan, Miaoyan and other platforms, the attendance rate of the morning session of "Terminator" is about 57%, the attendance rate of the afternoon session is about 63%, and the attendance rate of the evening session is about 91%. 54%, with an average of [-] per game."

Guan Ju told the master the statistical data.

"I'll go, the attendance rate is so high?"

Xu Nuo said in surprise.

To be honest, Xu Nuo expected in his heart that the attendance rate tonight would be 80%, and if the average number of people per game in the whole day exceeded 40, it would be relatively successful.

I won’t talk about the morning and afternoon during the day, because today is Friday, and many office workers are still at work during the day. Even if they want to watch a movie, they will go to see it at night after work.

The attendance rate contribution of 57% and 63% in the morning is probably the college students who have summer vacation, and some freelance workers who have more time.

This data is also quite good.

It is estimated that it benefited from the objective evaluation of "Terminator" by film critics in those circles after the premiere yesterday.

They objectively stated the advantages of "Terminator" on the Internet. The live shots have a strong sense of sight, and the special effects are also very good. The closed loop of the plot is shocking. Watching a cool sci-fi movie.

Especially Mr. Zhao, after the premiere last night, he posted several "Terminator" tweets on his Weibo, and he became a staunch "Terminator" blower .

With these positive comments, last night naturally attracted the attention of many netizens who had already paid attention to "Terminator" before, which prompted them to open the app, buy one or several movie tickets, and prepare to go to the movie tomorrow. Check out the movie theater.

"It seems that the popularity of "Terminator" is quite high."

Seeing that the data was so good, Xu Nuo actually had a feeling of drifting, which should be a natural reaction.

But Xu Nuo knew very well that he should not be too optimistic. After all, after the end of this wave of screenings tonight, there will be a large number of word-of-mouth reviews about "Terminator".

This is the most critical, because it will affect the box office on Saturday and Sunday.

As for the two-day box office on the weekend of the first week of release, it goes without saying how important it is to a movie, right?
Today's Xu Nuo can be said to be indifferent to work, constantly refreshing the online evaluation of his "Terminator" on the computer and mobile phone, and paying attention to the real-time box office data.

"Boss, I have finished the report."

At this time, assistant Wen Ruohan entered the office with a report in his hand.

"Well, just put it on the table."

Xu Nuo nodded, and couldn't help refreshing the real-time box office again.

【Meow Eye Professional Edition】

Single-day total box office: 67223.94 million

"The Love of the Stars": 17411.37 million box office, accounting for 25.9% of the box office

"Sin": 11728 million box office, accounting for 17.4% of the box office

"Terminator": 8194.01 million box office, accounting for 12.1% of the box office

When Xu Nuo saw that the real-time box office data of his "Terminator" exceeded expectations, he shouted excitedly: "Beautiful!"

"Ah? Boss, what did you say?"

Wen Ruohan, who just put the report on the boss's desk, looked confused.

The boss is saying this is beautiful, who is he praising?
Hee hee, aren't you praising yourself for being beautiful?

"Uh, oh, I'm talking about the box office numbers, and 'Terminator' is doing pretty well."

Xu Nuo recovered and explained with a smile.

"How much is the box office?"

Wen Ruohan asked curiously.

"It's more than 8000 million. You must know that we only have 7.4% of the film schedule, and the box office accounted for more than 12%."

Xu Nuo happily shared the real-time box office results of "Terminator" with his assistant.

"The proportion of the box office has greatly exceeded the proportion of the lineup, which means that the expressiveness of the first day is very strong. It's great, but it's a pity."

Wen Ruohan was also happy for the boss.

"What a pity?" Xu Nuo was puzzled.

"It's a pity that I'm going to the movies with my best friend tonight, but my best friend dragged me to watch "The Love of the Stars", woo woo woo. She's just a fan of Xu Yifeng."

Wen Ruohan said aggrievedly.

"Xiaowen, are you going to watch "The Love of the Stars"? This is fueling the enemy's box office arrogance!"

Xu Nuo joked with her.

"Boss, don't worry, after we finished watching "Love in the Stars", I will trick my best friend to watch our "Terminator" together and contribute two box office, hehehe."

"It's too late to see that."

Xu Nuo simply calculated the time. On Friday night, he had to watch "Stellar Love" and "Terminator", and he had to go to cook again, so it must be past twelve o'clock after watching it?

It was somewhat unsafe for the two girls to hang around outside so late at night.

"How about this Xiaowen, anyway, you have finished the report today, so I will let you get off work early and go play with your girlfriends earlier."

"Thank you boss, boss is wise!"

This made Wen Ruohan very happy. She wanted to ask the boss if she could leave work a little earlier today.

As a result, before I even asked, the boss brought it up first.

Woohoo, the boss is really, I cried to death.

After the assistant Wen Ruohan left, Xu Nuo continued to watch the discussion about "Terminator" on the Internet.

Some people had already finished watching "Terminator" during the day and afternoon, and these netizens couldn't help but began to discuss the artificial intelligence "Skynet" in "Terminator" on the Internet.

"I think Skynet in the movie is really scary."

"After artificial intelligence develops to a certain level, will it really awaken self-awareness?"

"Destroy it, it's best to kill all humans, I'm tired."

"AI is really scary, we must be vigilant."

"The movie is just a fiction. No matter how intelligent the real AI is, it is impossible to give birth to self-awareness."

"I have to say that this movie has successfully aroused everyone's discussion on robots and artificial intelligence."

"The Terminator is really good to watch. If you haven't seen it, go watch it now."

"Big guy, will there really be an AI that awakens self-awareness, regards humans as a threat, and then launches a nuclear bomb? 0.0"

On platforms such as Weibo, Douyin, and even Xiaobozhan, many netizens have begun to discuss various AI topics triggered by "Terminator", and more and more netizens are participating in the discussion.

It seems to have set off a wave of heated discussions about AI.
