Niu Lai supremacy over ai disastrous movie is indeed good news.
A budget of literally five-hundred dollars?
It was done in their free time, using secondhand hardware, and a SketchUp license they had from their interior design business, so yeah makes sense. That’s the cost of a cheap second hand PC, some hard drives, and a SketchUp license.
It also had no marketing budget, and only got a wide release because the 5 theaters they screened it in started a viral trend that got a bunch of other theaters to buy it directly from them. No production company at all.
That means the two people involved in the writing, directing, animating, production, and distribution get to split that $60m 50/50 lol. Or just share since they’re family.
It looks like the budget was more like 5 dollars to me.
I mean if you pirate the modeling software and spend the $500 on drugs, you could get a decent amount of drugs. Food for thought.
The people yern for organic slop.
Hextube niu lai when
I thought it was gonna be like claymation or something, but no. It’s animated by hand in SketchUp on secondhand PCs by a mother son duo that used to be interior design modelers lol
A fantastic “use the tools you know” situation.
In sketchup!!! Holy moly…
That’s so cute I also love my mom
We all love your mom :)
In fairness Niu Lai only made money because it became a meme, IIRC partially because something so shit got a theatrical release.
It still got asses in seats, count it.
So kinda like a Tommy Wiseau situation?
I hope they Niel Breen it and only become partially self-aware.
I don’t know enough about the creators to say if they’re as deluded as those two, but I would liken the response to Niu Lai as if The Room became a cult classic during a hypothetical initial theatrical release.
Oh that’s kinda nuts. Not even an actual release. But shit, makes sense, there are so many people in China a joke like that could easily take off.
Common gen-AI L
Just you wait, that Grok version of The Odyssey is gonna be lit lit lit lit lit
Niu Lai stays winning.
Oh well. Tomorrow is another day on the toilet.
