I deeply apologize. I recently used an online model without double-checking if it was officially published by its owner. Had a friend not pointed it out, I’d probably still be blindly rejoicing over the attention my work received.
Unintentional or not, it was still copyright infringement, and my conscience is heavy. I want to sincerely apologize to the creator and to you all. I am ashamed and profoundly aware of my mistake. I’m incredibly grateful to the creator for their grace in not pursuing this further. I am posting this voluntarily to own up to my mistake. I am so sorry.
A newly released animated film called “Niu Lai” (牛来) is going viral for all the wrong reasons in China.
People are calling the visuals “disaster-level” , the entire production team was basically just two people: the director and the screenwriter. After 9 days in theaters, the box office still hasn’t even crossed 10,000 RMB.
However, over the last day or two, Niu Lai's reputation has been turning around a bit.
Many people feel that in the age of AI, having filmmakers who still stick to "handcrafted" animation and genuine effort is both honest and far more powerful than polished yet empty productions.
Today, its box office sales grew by 500,000RMB! a massive single-day jump from previous days!
Let's wait and see how the box office plays out!
