Entertainment: Who still wants to fall in love when there are cheats?

Chapter 225 First Day Box Office
"I never imagined that domestic films could be made so well."

"Yeah, I think last year's Avatar wasn't as good as this Infinite Terror."

"Stop bragging. While Infinite Terror is good, it's still far inferior to Avatar."

"That's right, Avatar was directed by Cameron, and his Titanic was absolutely amazing."

"But I just think that Infinite Terror is pretty good. At least I think that in terms of plot, Infinite Terror is better than Avatar."

"【Infinite Terror】is an adaptation of a novel, not an original story written by Li Boda himself. Li Boda is far inferior to Cameron."

"Anyway, I think 'Infinite Terror' is really good, and I plan to buy tickets to see it again tomorrow."

"I'll come tomorrow too, let's go together."

After the movie "Infinite Terror" finished playing, some viewers walked out of the theater and began discussing the film.

Many people think that the movie "Infinite Terror" is very good, and some have even started to compare it with "Avatar".

However, at this point, some of the people who originally thought "Infinite Terror" was great started to belittle it, saying that it wasn't even worthy of carrying the shoes of "Avatar".

Occasionally, someone will say that "Infinite Terror" is better than "Avatar," and they will be met with a barrage of criticism from these same people.

Clearly, in many people's eyes, Infinite Terror, whose special effects are not much worse than Avatar but whose plot is more exciting, cannot be compared with Avatar.

On the one hand, some people are Cameron's fans and blindly support him.

On the other hand, some people still believe that foreign monks can chant sutras better, and that no matter how excellent domestic films are, they can't compare to foreign films, especially blockbusters like Avatar.

However, this did not stop them from watching the movie "Infinite Terror".

When "Infinite Terror" first started showing in theaters, even in the early hours of the morning, many people were still queuing up to buy tickets to watch the movie.

The main reason is that the movie "Infinite Terror" is just too popular.

Since last year, news about "Infinite Terror" has been constantly circulating, and its popularity has almost never waned.

It really whetted people's appetites.

So much so that many impatient people couldn't even wait one more night and rushed to the movie theater in the middle of the night to see just how amazing the movie "Infinite Terror" really was.

On the very night that "Infinite Terror" was released, Li Boda dreamt of entering "Infinite Terror" and transformed into Chu Xuan.

It was clearly Li Boda's own thinking. However, after transforming into Chu Xuan, Li Boda found that his brain seemed to have become exceptionally intelligent, his mind working incredibly fast and flexibly.

Some long-forgotten memories seem to be deeply etched in my mind, and many things that I didn't understand before seem to become crystal clear at this moment.

At the same time, all sorts of calculations and schemes seem too easy for him in his current state.

After becoming Chu Xuan, Li Boda's mind was like an old computer that had suddenly transformed into a supercomputer.

With just a glance, one can almost see right through a person; with a second glance, one can even discern their personality perfectly.

Li Boda was genuinely shocked; he hadn't realized Chu Xuan's mind was like this.

However, Li Boda also had a feeling of being an observer, as if there was a layer of frosted glass that made it difficult for him to see clearly.

Even his emotional fluctuations, taste buds, and other aspects seem to have lost their function.

It's painful, extremely painful.

The clearer your mind is, the more uncomfortable this feeling becomes.

At this moment, Li Boda seemed to understand why Chu Xuan had self-destructive tendencies; it was mainly because this state was too torturous.

When Li Boda woke up the next day, he found that he seemed to be the same as before, his mind was still not very sharp, and his thoughts were still not quick enough.

Okay, my lack of sharpness and quick thinking is all due to comparing myself to Chu Xuan in my dream. In reality, Li Boda's brain is actually quite good.

After realizing his own condition, Li Boda closed his eyes and carefully examined himself.

Afterwards, Li Boda found that he did indeed become much smarter, and he also became much more capable in scientific research.

Previously, Li Boda played the role of You Suowei, and while he did gain some knowledge about the "Silly Girl" phone, to be honest, he wasn't very flexible in applying it, nor could he extend that knowledge. Ultimately, he's not particularly skilled in scientific research.

Therefore, even with some knowledge of the Silly Girl System, Li Boda still couldn't create special effects that surpassed those of Avatar.

However, Li Boda's scientific research ability has improved a lot. The knowledge about the Silly Girl System that had been piling up in his mind is now flashing through his mind. He even has many ways to further improve the special effects level that has already been improved to a certain level, and it is a three-level leap improvement.

There's also the Rubik's Cube phone.

Because Li Boda had been working on special effects for "Infinite Terror" for some time, he didn't pay much attention to the research on the "Cube 3rd Generation" phone and instead handed it over to the "Cube Phone" research team.

Therefore, the performance of the 'Cube 3rd Generation' phone is only slightly better than that of the 'Cube 2nd Generation', as if only a minor improvement was made.

But now, a flood of knowledge flashed through Li Boda's mind, and he even quickly visualized the framework of the 'Rubik's Cube 4th Generation' phone in his mind.

All of these are the scientific research capabilities that Chu Xuan's character bestows upon Li Boda.

However, although the character of Chu Xuan brought Li Boda amazing scientific research capabilities this time, it was ultimately no match for Chu Xuan's own abilities.

At this time, Li Boda seemed to only have 30% of Chu Xuan's scientific research level. The technological equipment he could manufacture or develop could only be slightly improved compared to the current level of technology, and he was completely unable to achieve a level of scientific research that could transcend eras.

Chu Xuan from "Infinite Terror" is a famous Doraemon; it seems there's nothing he can't do.

Unfortunately, Chu Xuan wasn't the main character in Li Boda's film "Infinite Terror," so Li Boda didn't acquire much of Chu Xuan's abilities, making it impossible for him to achieve the groundbreaking scientific research.

Of course, even so, Li Boda could still confidently say that he was one of the world's top scientists. With the knowledge and information from the Silly Girl System, Li Boda was even more capable of surpassing the level of any scientist in the world.

"It seems we should continue making the [Infinite Terror] film series, and it would be best to also release a solo feature film about Chu Xuan. That way we can get even more revenue," Li Boda thought to himself.

The day after the premiere of "Infinite Terror" ended, Li Boda and Zhao Liying started doing commercial performances.

Despite the immense popularity of "Infinite Terror," the necessary promotional efforts still need to be made.

The box office figures for "Infinite Terror" on its opening day were already available at 2 a.m. that same night, one day after the film's release.

3965 million, just a hair's breadth away from 40 million, and it even broke the record for the highest-grossing opening day for a domestic film.

After this data was released, Zhao Liying, Yan Kuan, and others were so excited that they couldn't sleep.

Even Li Boda was secretly delighted.

After all, the highest opening day box office for any of Li Boda's previous films was only half that of "Infinite Terror".

When Li Boda learned that "Infinite Terror" had grossed nearly 40 million yuan on its opening day, other people with connections and influence also obtained this figure.

Many people were surprised by this number.

Those who haven't seen the movie "Infinite Terror" and aren't sure if it's good or not are particularly surprised, shocked, and even find it unbelievable.

Directors like Feng Gangpao, Chen Kaige, and even Zhang Yimou fell silent upon hearing this number.

Because their movie had the highest opening day box office ever.

Even among them, Feng Gangpao, who had the highest opening day box office, only had over 36 million yuan in invoices for his film "Aftershock," a difference of over 3 million yuan.

For a time, Feng Gangpao and other top domestic directors felt immense pressure.

However, Feng Gangpao, who was known as "Steel Cannon" and would fire at anyone he could get his hands on, did not fire at Li Boda at this time.

The main reason is that no Feng Gangpao films were released this year, so he didn't need to promote his own films.

Another point is that Feng Gangpao was also curious about the movie "Infinite Terror". After more than a year, such a big production was made, so on the day the movie was released, he secretly went to the cinema to watch it. "Infinite Terror" is a movie that is beyond reproach.

Whether it's the story, the cinematography, or even the special effects, there's absolutely nothing to criticize.

On the contrary, Chen Kaige, like Feng Gangpao, did not have any films released this year. However, he still couldn't help but criticize Li Boda in front of reporters, saying that young people only make low-budget, low-quality comedies and have little ability to speak of. He said that the movie "Infinite Terror" was purely a movie made by throwing money at it, with no technical content and no artistic merit whatsoever. It was all about money, etc.

The tone of his voice was so sour.
