The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 126: The first generation of Siri is released, and tickets for "Upgrade" are hard to come by!
……

The AI ​​predictions in the movie "Upgrade" caused a huge sensation among science fiction fans around the world.

And next week, a true AI voice assistant will be implemented by Apple.

Although, compared with real AI, Apple’s Siri voice assistant is like a single-celled organism.

Those with low IQ can be ignored.

However, this small step, placed in the current scene, can definitely cause a worldwide sensation!

The movie illuminates reality.

Real technology proves from another perspective that the AI ​​technology in movies is really possible.

Whether Apple’s new generation of products equipped with Siri voice assistant can sell well is not yet discussed.

Under such circumstances, the box office of the movie "Upgrade" will definitely explode!

The topic is absolutely full!
Universal Pictures doesn't need to spend money on publicity anymore, as media around the world will take the initiative to help them promote their movies.

Because, at this moment, the topic of AI is the hottest topic!

There is a saying that goes, even a pig can take off if it stands in the wind.

The movie "Upgrade", even if it is not a dragon, is at least a soaring falcon, and it will surely be able to take off with the wind and fly higher!
"Brother Kun is right. Ayuan, you really think three steps ahead!"

At this moment, Zhao Shanshan was completely convinced.

I even developed a little admiration for Lu Zhiyuan.

As a young lady from a wealthy family with a strong background, Zhao Shanshan has met many people since she was a child, including wealthy businessmen and powerful people.

However, she had never seen anyone like Lu Zhiyuan.

Tell you directly what he will do.

However, you simply cannot refuse the cakes he throws for you, and you are even willing to be used by him and can't wait to rush up.

He was afraid that if he was a step late, his cake would be lost to others.

Make you regret it deeply.

……

In a luxuriously decorated nightclub box.

Xin Yukun, holding a black Lanzhou cigarette in his mouth, was surrounded by girls on both sides, smiling like a winner in life.

"Brother Kun, I'll toast you a glass."

"Brother Kun, Brother Yuan's movie is a huge hit! In just two days, it grossed $65 million domestically and over $30 million in North America."

"The photography department at Beijing Film Academy has been buzzing these past few days. Everyone's saying we should just replace the sculpture outside the department with one of Brother Yuan's."

"Brother Yuan is the true god we in the photography department need to worship!"

"By the way, Brother Kun, I read some gossip that although Brother Yuan seems to be enjoying great things on the surface, he's actually living with a rich woman behind the scenes and his life is very hard."

Some people want to find out some gossip from Xin Yukun.

After all, although Lu Zhiyuan, like them, was once a student in the Photography Department of Beijing Film Academy, he never played with them.

Many people said bad things about Lu Zhiyuan behind his back.

They said he was arrogant, that he looked down on other students, and all sorts of other things were said about him.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xin Yukun put down his wine glass and looked over unhappily.

He righteously retorted, "Brother Yuan's word is law in the family. The eldest lady makes him nourishing soup every day and even bends down to wash his feet. Is this called hanging out with a rich woman? Is this called living a hard life?"

"If I could meet a rich woman like this, I would fucking go ashore and swear in my life that I would never go out to play again! I wouldn't even touch a female mosquito, as long as it's not from my home."

Xin Yukun said with a solemn vow.

While speaking, he pinched the two girls in his arms with his hands, causing them to scream in anger.

"Cut~~"

Of course others didn't believe it.

Brother Kun won’t come out to play unless the earth explodes!
Seeing that others didn't believe it, Xin Yukun didn't care and continued to build a good image for Lu Zhiyuan.

"Our Brother Yuan is a man of great accomplishments. Don't look at him with your vulgar eyes. And don't pay attention to those people who say sour words outside. They are just a bunch of little scoundrels."

"Brother Yuan has a famous saying that is particularly good: The amount of protein synthesized daily in an adult's body is limited. If you give it to women, you can't give it to art."

"I agree with that."

After finishing speaking, Xin Yukun hugged the two beautiful ladies in his arms, kissed them on both sides, and said carelessly: "When it comes to art, to be honest, I will never be able to beat Brother Yuan in my life."

"But when it comes to playing with women, I swear to God, I must surpass him! Otherwise, what's the point of living?"

Awesome!
Brother Kun, it still has to be you!
Inside the nightclub box, everyone started to cheer and toasted Xin Yukun one by one.

Brother Kun is a big shot now, but when it comes to telling dirty jokes, he is still the same as before, without any change.

Everyone likes Brother Kun very much.

"Brother Kun, can you share with us Brother Yuan's daily life? The newspapers are full of gossip, and they're obviously fake."

As the most popular director on the Internet right now, everyone is very curious about what Lu Zhiyuan is like in private.

"Brother Yuan, if you weren't an artist, you would definitely be a successful businessman."

Xin Yukun took a sip of beer and said slowly, "When other people make a movie, they come up with an idea, write a script, create a project, and then go find investors and beg them for money."

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly.

Isn’t this what it’s like to work on a project?

After I got an idea, I begged investors for money. As long as the investors were willing to give me money, I would do anything.

How humble those little actors are in front of the director.

How humble the director is in front of those investors.

Xin Yukun saw the expressions of the others and sneered, "This is why you can't make it. Do you know what Brother Yuan did?"

Everyone present pricked up their ears to listen to the peerless martial arts that Xin Yukun was about to teach!
As long as they can learn 10% of Lu Zhiyuan's skills... they don't think about sweeping the country or anything like that, that's not realistic.

As long as the box office can exceed 100 million, it will be enough for them to brag about it for the rest of their lives.

After all, isn’t Ning Hao only at this level?

Xin Yukun stretched out four fingers and waved them in front of everyone: "Brother Yuan, before shooting the movie, at least find four potential buyers!"

"It's like running a business. Having a factory at home and being able to produce products is useless. There are so many people who own factories and can make products, but I haven't seen many of them get rich."

“The key is to find the right buyer!”

"Only with buyers can you sell your products, even at a high price. That's what a good business is, and that's how you make a lot of money!"

How did the movie "Upgrade" come about?
Xin Yukun knows it better than anyone else.

With amazing insight, Lu Zhiyuan discovered Apple’s business goal, which was to acquire Siri lnc.

This company specializes in intelligent voice assistants.

Before Lu Zhiyuan announced this news, not many people knew about Apple's business acquisition, not only in China but even in the United States.

Even the people inside Siri thought it was Microsoft or Google that wanted to acquire them.

After Zhao Shanshan asked someone to inquire at an investment bank on Wall Street, the other party directly contacted someone from Apple to confirm.

Seeing that it could no longer be concealed, Apple finally admitted it and even asked Lu Zhiyuan vigilantly what he was trying to do.
Is there a corporate spy planted in Apple?
Finally, this incident even alarmed Apple's CEO, Mr. Steve Jobs.

When Jobs learned that Lu Zhiyuan wanted to make a movie based on the concept of AI and wanted to seek cooperation from Apple... he was shocked for a long time.

Because this is definitely a genius plan!
The buyer, Steve Jobs, was persuaded by Lu Zhiyuan and generously gave an initial capital of 1000 million US dollars.

They had just started filming the movie "Upgrade".

Lu Zhiyuan is very good at making movies, and Xin Yukun has known this for a long time.

However, he never expected that Lu Zhiyuan also possessed business insight... This ability was amazing!

So, when Lu Zhiyuan wanted to play with the robot, Xin Yukun played with him without hesitation.

When Lu Zhiyuan said he wanted to acquire some shares of DJI Drones, Xin Yukun directly took the three founders of DJI Drones to the top place in Dongguan and played for three days and three nights.

Helped Lu Zhiyuan get 10% of the shares.

"Brother Kun, you believe everything Brother Yuan says. Aren't you afraid that he will cheat you?"

When others heard Xin Yukun praising Lu Zhiyuan to the sky and making him look like a god, they couldn't help but find fault with him.

"I believe in him, that's why I'm where I am today!"

After leaving a cold word, Xin Yukun turned and left.

Not enough words to speculate.

Xin Yukun now has some understanding of why Lu Zhiyuan never participates in such events and doesn't like to listen to others bragging about themselves.

Boring, too low-end.

Look at these people, their thinking level is the same as that of primitive people, it is simply impossible to communicate with them.

If I didn't trust Lu Zhiyuan, I would probably have to hang out with this group of people, begging for help every day, and I don't know when I would be able to make it out.

"I'm a little tired, I'm going home first."

Xin Yukun waved his hand, pushed the two ladies away, turned around and prepared to go out.

As for tonight's consumption, someone else must be paying for it.

Ever since he became a big boss, people who want to treat him to food, drinks and entertainment every day have to line up and it all depends on his mood.

You want him to pay? You must be joking!
Xin Yukun slowly came to the parking lot and was about to get into the car when he suddenly realized that he had drunk a little and could not drive.

Although, with his current status, even if he encounters a drunk driving check, he can settle it with just one phone call.

But if Lu Zhiyuan knew that he was driving under the influence and tried to use his connections to settle the matter... needless to say, he would definitely scold him to death.

"Brother Kun, I'll be your designated driver."

Just as Xin Yukun was hesitating, a girl with short hair ran over, took the keys from Xin Yukun very attentively, and took the initiative to drive the car.

"Xiao Su, what's going on? Is it appropriate for a girl like you to be in the nightclub parking lot?"

Xin Yukun knew this short-haired girl, she was from the same hometown as him, her name was Su Lun.

I used to be an assistant director for Feng Xiaogang, and later I was admitted to the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama. Judging by the time, I should have graduated, right?

——In another time and space, Su Lun wrote, directed and filmed "Time Raiders".

"Brother Kun, I'm waiting for you here."

Su Lun drove very skillfully, looking back at Xin Yukun from time to time.

That expectant look betrayed her inner feelings.

Xin Yukun couldn't see through Lu Zhiyuan, but he knew exactly what this young man was thinking.

He smiled and casually asked, "Xiao Su, what have you been doing recently? I used to see you popping up in the group often, but I haven't seen you out for a long time."

Su Lun quickly explained, "Brother Kun, I've just graduated. A while ago, I filmed an MV for singer Jin Zhiwen. He had a lot of requirements, so it took me a long time."

"Brother Kun, it's been a while since I've greeted you. I want to apologize first."

Su Lun apologized quietly, then looked at Xin Yukun through the rearview mirror with eager eyes.

"Brother Kun, I heard that Brother Yuan has a big project coming up. He's going to the northwest, to Muztagh Ata, to shoot some amazing scene."

"Muztagh Ata is freezing cold, and Brother Yuan is so fragile. If he gets frozen and bumps his head, it will be a loss for our entire Chinese-language film industry."

"I thought to myself, I grew up in Inner Mongolia and have experienced many cold and freezing weather. I'm tough and not afraid of bumps and bruises, so I can help Brother Yuan share his worries."

"When the time comes, Brother Yuan will be in the warm yurt, giving remote commands, and I will be on the 3500-meter plateau, braving the cold wind and snow, helping Brother Yuan capture the images he wants."

Fearing that Xin Yukun would think her confidence wasn't strong enough, Su Lun patted his chest and added, "Even if I die of exhaustion or freezing, I will continue to shoot until Brother Yuan is satisfied!"

Xin Yukun laughed.

"Xiao Su, you are a talented person, and we are from the same hometown. It doesn't make sense for me not to help you."

It is not surprising that Su Lun came over and wanted to be Lu Zhiyuan's assistant director.

Nowadays, there are many people who want to be Lu Zhiyuan's assistant director.

Xin Yukun was thinking to himself that the last time he was filming "Upgrade", he was the assistant director, part-time producer, and external relations director, and he was so busy that he almost vomited blood.

You should find someone to share your worries.

Su Lun is his fellow villager, and they have been in the same group for a long time. He is also very knowledgeable about the rules.

The level is also good.

Can withstand the test of Lu Zhiyuan.

The most important thing is that he is very hardworking.

It's freezing cold where they come from. If they weren't strong enough, they would have been dead long ago.

Thinking of this, Xin Yukun nodded, but did not agree immediately: "How about this, I will send you an invitation when the movie celebrates the party."

Of course, it is up to Lu Zhiyuan himself to decide who will be the assistant director for him.

The most Xin Yukun can do is to make an introduction.

"Thank you, Brother Kun!"

Su Lun felt that his thanks were not sincere enough and could not help but say, "Brother Kun, when I was shooting the music video, I met two models with great figures. Do you want me to give them a call..."

sensible!

But, forget it today.

The movie was a huge hit at the box office and was extremely successful, even causing a sensation in Hollywood.

This is much more enjoyable than having sex with a woman.

It's worth savoring for a long time.

……

In addition to Su Lun, a promising fellow villager, Xin Yukun received calls from countless agents in the past two days.

These agents, implicitly and implicitly, all wanted to invite him out for dinner.

By the way, is there any chance to introduce the beautiful actress under your management to the great director Lu Zhiyuan?
For no other reason than to let Lu Zhiyuan have some impression of the actresses under his management.

If there is a suitable role, at least you will have the opportunity to audition.

Otherwise, Lu Zhiyuan would not know that there is such an actress in the entertainment industry. Even if there is a suitable role, he would definitely not think of her.

If an actor wants to make movies, it is important to mix in the circle.

Movie directors like to use actors they are familiar with.

Look at Huang Bo, he has such an ugly face, but just because he met Ning Hao, he was able to play the leading role in the movie.

As for acting?

What kind of acting skills can Reba, a 17-year-old girl, have?

In just two days, she became an internet sensation and a phenomenon in Europe and the United States. There were even doll companies that wanted to license her image.

Don’t think that the doll company’s desire to license the film is a bit embarrassing. If they replace it with other uglier-looking actresses and give them the license for free, the doll company may not necessarily want it.

The recognition of the doll company represents Reba’s beauty, which has won the hearts of the whole world!
I won’t talk about Jingtian.

Looking at other TV dramas and movies that Jing Tian has filmed, it makes one’s eyes go dark. I’m too lazy to even complain about it. It’s simply an insult to the word “acting skills”.

However, she always performs exceptionally well under Lu Zhiyuan's lens. Lu Zhiyuan always arranges these actors just right, uses a variety of lens editing, sets the atmosphere, and shoots the scenes he needs particularly beautifully.

In a word, as long as Lu Zhiyuan takes a fancy to you, the great director will personally design the scenes around your role.

The actresses don’t have to worry about anything that happens next. They just need to listen to the director and be beautiful.

There is no shortage of beautiful faces like this in the entertainment industry.

But what is lacking is a director like Lu Zhiyuan who can turn decay into magic.

"Brother Kun, I have dozens of models, there is always one you like."

"Brother Kun, my models are all very well-behaved and obedient. They will cooperate with whatever you want."

"Brother Kun, I have a model named Nazha, who has won the title of Uyghur Flower. She is very beautiful and is no less beautiful than Reba. In fact, she is more in line with the aesthetic taste of Han people."

After saying that, the man sent Xin Yukun a few photos of Nazha.

MMS photos from this era are a bit blurry, but they are enough to make out a person's outline.

Xin Yukun looked at Nazha's photo for a few seconds, and after seeing it clearly, he jumped up from the bed instantly.

Without saying anything, I called to ask.

"How much is this model? Give it to me!"

The 17-year-old Nazha has grown quite mature and has a well-developed figure. Compared with Reba's cleverness and cuteness, she has a more charming charm.

Xin Yukun knew at first glance that this was the type that Lu Zhiyuan liked.

Brothers.

I know your taste.

You go to Urumqi every few days. It's not enough to bring out a hot girl, you also have to go to Urumqi to find a little girl.

Playing cultivation, right?
Row.

I won't expose you.

As a good brother, not only will I not expose you, I will also satisfy your various hobbies.

No wonder you ignore Gao Yuanyuan, don’t have any feelings for Liu Yifei, and have almost cut off contact with Liu Shishi.

It turns out that you like this exotic style!

You should have told me earlier!

As brothers, we will definitely satisfy your taste.

The agent on the other end of the phone was a little hesitant: "Brother Kun, I don't sell my models. Besides, human trafficking is illegal in our country!"

Xin Yukun immediately became unhappy and snorted coldly, saying, "What are you talking about? Just name your price and transfer it to me immediately."

The other party hesitated and did not dare to agree.

Nazha is his ace card. She has gained some fame recently. In Shanghai, she can already occupy a billboard in a shopping mall by herself.

A model of this level is already considered to have a certain status in the industry.

Of course, compared to serious film and television stars, he can only be regarded as a second-rate small-time punk.

"Let's put it this way. In the movie 'Real Steel,' there will be a grand performance in the Dunhuang scene, simulating the Dunhuang Flying Fairy murals."

"Select 30 models from your company. This show is all yours."

"You don't have to worry about me fooling you. Brother Yuan said this scene will be filmed beautifully, specifically to promote the artistic atmosphere of Dunhuang and open the eyes of foreigners."

"With 30 models and Brother Yuan's portraiture skills, if not even one of them becomes popular, just accept your fate."

"Naza is leading the dance inside, let's pack it up for you."

"If that's the case and you don't agree, then don't contact me again. We'll go our separate ways. From now on, we'll cut off all ties!"

Sometimes, all it takes for an actress to become popular is one particularly beautiful shot.

As for Lu Zhiyuan’s portrait photography, there is no doubt about it in the industry.

"Brother Kun, let me think about it."

The agent was used to seeing all kinds of beautiful models, so when he saw Reba in the movie, to be honest, he thought she was just average, not too beautiful, but quite distinctive.

Overall, it can be scored between 85 and 90 points.

But he feels that Nazha in his hands can score more than 90 points.

Both are Uyghur girls, but Reba can become popular, so why can’t Nazha?

But he is not Lu Zhiyuan, he does not have the ability to praise others!

At this moment, he sold Nazha, the most beautiful girl under his command, to give the other 30 people a chance.

It's really a dilemma.

"Brother Kun, I've made this deal!"

After much hesitation, the agent gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.

After all, if he didn't throw Nazha out, Xin Yukun wouldn't even let him sit at the gambling table.

"What nonsense! This is called re-signing a labor contract. We are a legal company, and there is no human trafficking in our country."

Xin Yukun emphasized several times that his actions were reasonable and legal, and that he was negotiating a commercial contract, not forcing a sale.

But after emphasizing, Xin Yukun couldn't help but say, "However, let me be frank. If Nazha comes to my side and dares to run away, I will kill you!"

"No, no. Don't worry, Brother Kun. I have a lot of dirt on her. She can't get away. Besides, she's a fool. She'll listen to whoever can help her make money. If she can hang out with Brother Kun, she'll wake up laughing in her dreams."

Xin Yukun couldn't believe everything the other party said.

He knows what the modeling industry is like better than anyone else.

Especially this guy's subordinates, it's a mess.

"Before you send her over, tell her to cut off all her messy relationships, including those with rich second-generations, godfathers, and mistresses."

"Besides that, ask her to dress more innocently and not wear too much makeup. She only looks like she's worth 500 yuan."

When Xin Yukun saw Nazha’s photo just now, he couldn’t imagine at all, this is 17 years old?
People would believe him even if he said he was 27 years old.

The makeup is hard to describe, it has a worldly feel.

However, in this era, most makeup artists only have this level of skill.

To be honest, after Lu Zhiyuan raised his aesthetic standards, Xin Yukun now feels a little overwhelmed when going out to play in the wild.

Sometimes I go around and change batch after batch, but still can’t find the one that makes my heart move.

It’s over.

He knew that he was useless.

At this moment, he could probably understand why Lu Zhiyuan didn't like to go out and play.

After raising our aesthetic standards, happiness is reduced by half.

"Naza should be able to make his heart flutter."

"Looking at Jing Tian's face every day, even though she's as beautiful as a fairy, he'll probably get tired of it. Besides, he probably likes exotic things deep down."

Although Lu Zhiyuan never said what kind of person he liked, Xin Yukun found various ways to recommend female stars to him.

Master Liu.

Gao Yuanyuan.

Liu Yifei.

These three top goddesses in the pure series are not Lu Zhiyuan’s type!
Although Jing Tian is Lu Zhiyuan's girlfriend, Xin Yukun didn't feel that Lu Zhiyuan liked Jing Tian very much. Instead, he brought Reba, his little follower, with him every day.

Obviously, he prefers Reba.

Anyway, let's find a spare tire for our good brother! He can be used at any time.

It is estimated that if he makes another super movie, he will be able to completely free himself from the clutches of Miss Jing Tian.

Then, travel around the world with me!

……

September 12th, Saturday.

Just as everyone expected.

"Upgrade" hits new box office record.

Domestic box office, 4000 million, definitely broke the record!

The North American box office was 2200 million US dollars, which caused a sensation in the market.

Besides the box office, word of mouth is also superb. The Rotten Tomatoes freshness index reached 92%, and the social media discussion was explosive, three times that of "District 9"!
After all, although the creative concept of "District 9" is interesting and it is also a metaphor for the apartheid issue in South Africa, the main problem is that the alien is too ugly.

It looks like a prawn.

It is also a science fiction film with a very fresh creative concept. The pictures and characters of "Upgrade" are simply beautiful to a new level.

After watching "District 9", watching "Upgrade" is like giving your eyes a treatment.

The 3D effect of "Avatar" is very good, the colors are very bright, and the planet Pandora is also super beautiful... but the protagonist looks like a catfish, which is hard to describe.

Battle Angel Alita is still the best!

……

October 12th, Sunday.

Under saturated publicity, the box office potential seems to have reached its limit.

The domestic box office fell instead of increasing, falling back to 3900 million.

The North American box office was the same as Saturday, around 2200 million.

The performance of the two voting bases seems to have reached its limit.

In China, the market capacity is limited, so the single-day box office is at best just that. Even if all the screenings are given to "Upgrade", 4000 million is the limit.

Too bad this movie isn't in 3D.

Otherwise, since the ticket price for 3D movies is more expensive than that for normal movies, and IMAX can even cost as little as 100 yuan per ticket, the box office is likely to exceed 5000 million.

As for North America, due to limited screening schedules, it encountered the most powerful opponent in history, "Avatar".

The fact that it grossed 2200 million U.S. dollars at the box office has already attracted a lot of attention.

After the first week's box office figures were released, domestic media couldn't wait to use the headline "New King Ascends the Throne"!

The mainland director circle is also in an uproar.

Many people are very excited about Lu Zhiyuan's achievements.

They are also proud that Lu Zhiyuan was able to make such a great movie.

At least it proves that mainland directors are not inferior to Hong Kong directors, Taiwanese directors, or even Hollywood's top directors when it comes to making commercial films.

Apart from Cameron, Spielberg, Nolan and a few others.

With the achievements Lu Zhiyuan has made now, he would definitely be a top-tier director in Hollywood!

3000 million, 3500 million, 4000 million, 3900 million... The first week box office figures are freshly released. The movie "Upgrade" has raked in 1.44 million yuan in the domestic box office!
1500 million, 1800 million, 2200 million, 2200 million... The North American box office in the first week reached an astonishing 7700 million US dollars!
You know, as a big company, Universal Pictures has a lot of initiative when negotiating profit-sharing contracts with theaters.

"Upgrade" is a low-budget science fiction film, unlike a blockbuster like "Avatar", so Universal Pictures cannot go too far during the negotiations.

In order to gain some screening rates from theaters, Universal Pictures even made some concessions.

But even so, the producer's share in the first week was as high as over 60%!

"60% of $7700 million, how much is that? It's $462 million! Our company will get 10%, which is $4620 million, which converts to RMB, that's nearly 3000 million!"

"Get rich!"

Earned 3000 million in one week!
This is still a single market in North America.

No wonder everyone wants to go to Hollywood to make money!

In China, if a director wants to make 3000 million just by making movies as a technician without any capital investment, how much box office revenue does he need?
According to the share of the theater chain, it is calculated as a little higher, about 40%.

The director's share is 10%.

In other words, the director can only get about 4% of the box office!

It would take about 7 million in box office revenue to get 3000 million.

too difficult!
Before 2009, no movie had ever grossed 7 million yuan. Even "Founding of a Republic" with 4 million yuan was the limit.

And this is just the first week's results at the North American box office.

……

It's not just Xin Yukun who is settling accounts.

Everyone in the industry is helping Lu Zhiyuan settle the accounts.

Get rich!
Is this being a director?

He is totally playing a money grab game!
After the movie ended, Lu Zhiyuan became a billionaire.

"Haozi, when did you become so awesome?"

Zhang Yadong and Ning Hao got together again and couldn't help but talk about Lu Zhiyuan's movies.

The box office is booming, breaking records every day.

After 4 days of release, the box office reached 1.44 million!
I remember at the beginning of the year, Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing" was so slow, hesitant, tiptoeing, and gritting his teeth that he finally managed to get a box office of 100 million yuan, which was praised by the media.

For Lu Zhiyuan, breaking the 100 million box office was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

"Brother Dong, please let me go. I'm just a nobody. Why are you comparing me with him? What if someone hears me and thinks I'm going crazy?"

Ning Hao was really about to cry.

He's been having a bad time lately, as "No Man's Land" is still stuck at the review stage and no matter how much he changes it, it won't pass.

After much thought, he found only one reason: it must be Zhang Yadong's bad mouth that caused him to accidentally offend Miss Jing Tian.

However, things have changed now.

Lu Zhiyuan is incredibly awesome, and Miss Jing Tian is in high spirits. She plays the second female lead in a Hollywood blockbuster and is highly praised by the media.

Miss Jing Tian is so popular now, so she should be able to forgive his accidental failure, right?
"Fuck!"

"Haozi, this is fake news, right?"

Zhang Yadong was chatting with Ning Hao while casually changing channels on TV when she suddenly saw a special text message.

Apple announced that the new generation of iPhones will be equipped with the first generation of Siri voice intelligent assistant.

Siri, this name is now known all over the world.

In the movie "Upgrade", in the [T0] AI chip, isn't the AI ​​assistant who speaks coldly called Siri?

Once this news was released, it caused a sensation around the world!
Apple released this news at noon. When the market opened in the afternoon, Apple’s stock price soared by 15%!

Although it fell back a bit later, it still rose by more than 7% at the close!

The movie "Upgrade" was already very popular, and with the support of Apple's product promotion, it exploded again, and far exceeded its previous popularity!

At the entrance of the cinema, the number of people queuing up to buy tickets for the movie "Upgrade" suddenly increased.

Tickets for this movie became hard to come by, and there were even scalpers selling tickets at a higher price at the entrance of the cinema!
Totally exploded!

At least for this afternoon, "Avatar" will have to take a break from the spotlight.
