Interest in the first Chinese film created by AI is low, people do not want to pay for it

Interest in the first AI-generated film released in China, "San-sing-tuej: Future Memories," is lower than expected, with ticket sales significantly lagging behind production costs. Despite a production team of nearly 100 people and a budget exceeding 10 million yuan, pre-sales reached only 80,000 yuan. Viewers express skepticism about paying for AI-generated films, preferring free content on streaming platforms. Meanwhile, the rise of AI content is notable, with AI mini-series on Douyin garnering over 200 billion views in September. Concerns about AI's impact on Hollywood are also growing, with the first AI-generated feature film set to release in the U.S. soon.
