Chapter 278: Release (3/5)
For a long time, Boss Lu reacted...
Stepping on a horse, "Moon" is the first domestic science fiction movie!
Where did the record-breaking claim come from?
After three days of release, it won $4 million, which is definitely not a box office hit...
In fact, "Moon" is still niche, although the reputation is not bad, but the viewing base is there!
Also, after September, the North American film market is also very deserted, with a bunch of more than one million works in a single day, the box office of "Moon" is not outstanding, but it is not unpopular.
Many critics praised and said: This is an exciting but embarrassing movie. On the one hand, it gives the audience a visual shock, and on the other hand, the audience still can't accept the plot of the movie where humans are fooled by machines.
The Chicago Sun-Times commented: "The Moon" must be the best in telling the story of the alienated relationship between humans and machines. As a small-budget film, "Moon" did it perfectly.
But it's still the same sentence, the number of moviegoers is there, and the probability of a box office explosion is zero...
It's not the same in China, the publicity and marketing team of Orange is going all out, and it is smashing hard and wide, and it is smashing tickets to make up...
Of course, the ticket supplement did not smash so much.
Now the cooperation between Orange Ticketing and the theater is no longer a one-time ticket purchase, but a user purchases, resulting in a ticket purchase record, and the ticketing platform will subsidize the ticket purchase.
The theater will pay directly with the ticketing platform after the movie is released.
So, in a sense, the ticketing platform is in control of the issuance...
......
"The Moon" was released on September 26, with a pre-sale of 40 million, and the pre-sale exceeded 1.5 million!
The film schedule reached 52 percent.
Han Mingming went to see "Moon"...
And then a little confused.
The whole movie is completely different from what he imagined!
He thought that this movie was the kind of popcorn movie, that is, clones against earthlings, and the two sides set up to fight each other...
And then what?
There is almost one actor in the whole film, and all the shots are done on the space station...
Capitalize 'I'm saving!'
"The Moon" is a movie about cloning, humanity, loneliness and even humanity.
Yueneng Company used cloning technology to clone an innumerable clone stand-in with experience in developing new energy on the moon.
So there was a scene at the beginning of the film, where Geng Hao lives alone on the moon.
The only night playmate is that AI robot juice.
Each clone inherits the memories of the original, the beloved wife, the newborn daughter...
He still remembered that he had signed a three-year contract with the Moon Energy Company, and after three years, he could return to the human world and regain his freedom.
Carrying the longing for his wife and daughter, and the hope of returning to the world after three years, he continues to work boringly in a world where he alone day by day.
Finally came to return to the earth, at this time, there were sudden adverse reactions such as hair loss and vomiting blood, he was still full of hope looking at the photos of his wife and daughter, lying in the deep sleep machine that thought it was a return to the earth, and was destroyed in sweet hope and longing and excitement...
But until it is destroyed, he is still happy, a happiness that is not aware of it.
As a normal procedure, each clone will go about his life without knowing itโsad but not painful.
Things went awry with Clone Five, who crashed into a car while out collecting energy, and he fainted in the car.
But the work continues, and Six is awakened and placed under house arrest in the space chamber by Juice.
Instead, Six escaped from the space chamber and met Clone Five, who looked exactly like him.
In a state of great surprise, Six rescued Five back to the space chamber.
Both of them have ups and downs in their hearts, and at first they both think that the other is a clone of themselves - both of them firmly believe that they are their own essences.
Things get more interesting, when two identical people are in front of them, are they the same?
One is Geng Hao, who has a week left to complete his mission, and the other is Geng Hao, who has just started his mission for a week.
A person who has experienced a lonely and lonely life for nearly three years will still keep his original self?
Six was able to rationally and resolutely judge that they were used clones from the beginning, and Five, the clone who hoped to escape from the moon soon, would not want to face it for a long time, because as soon as he faced him, he needed to face the reality of shattered hope, because as soon as he faced him, he had to admit that nearly three years of hard work were a dream!
The Five finally came to terms with the facts.
Before that, he had experienced a heartbreaking experience.
Since the signal in the space chamber is shielded, he cannot contact the real Earth.
He went out and found a place with a signal, hoping to get in touch with his wife.
Open the video, a 15-year-old girl appears in front of the screen, it is his daughter.
He asks where Lili (his wife) is, but gets the news that she has died. He asked incredulously, "Are you sure?"
No. 5 found out that the little girl was his daughter Evan, who he had been thinking about day and night, and he blurted out: "Baby", and then felt abrupt and changed his words and asked, "How did your mother die?"
The girl turns to her father, Geng Hao, the earth's being, and tells her father, "There is someone who wants to ask about Mommy."
Heartbroken, Number Five turned off the computer.
At the end of the film, there is a panic in the Earth Headquarters, and that Geng Hao 6 has successfully returned to Earth...
The only thing that interested Han Mingming in the middle of the movie was Lu Xiaoran's appearance: "I know that our approach is inhumane, but the cost of cultivating a qualified high-tech employee is too expensive, and we can't afford it! Using human cloning is a way to reduce costs, and mass cloning can reduce the originally high cost to almost zero! Moreover, in the process of work, once any accident causes death, reawaken a new clone, and then it will be as if nothing happened." โ
This movie...
How to say it, it's definitely not a bad movie, but it didn't meet his expectations!
It's not funny, it's not cool!
He doesn't know what to say...
Only the ending easter egg is a little cool: Geng Hao walks into the office of a building and announces what Yueneng Company has done, and then, he is taken away by two men in black...
Outside the building, a group of people held signs: "Natural human rights, clones should decide their own lives!"
......
Let's put it this way, Han Mingming is not a fan of science fiction, so he is not interested in the space station or anything, and he is not interested in intelligent robots...
He came with the idea of watching comedy - Ning Hao + Huang Bo, this is the standard of comedy!
As a result, you gave me a serious work that explores human ethics?
There are many viewers who share the same idea as him...
It is foreseeable that the word-of-mouth of "Moon" will definitely be polarized!
Let's not mention this first, anyway, the box office exploded on the first day - 67 million!
