Chapter 397 Nebula X2 Launch
Chapter 397 Nebula X2 Launch
Fan Binbin opened her eyes.
She looked at the ruins in front of her, her expression calm.
That kind of calm is more painful than crying or making a scene; it's like someone who has exhausted all their emotions and doesn't even have the strength to be sad anymore.
She crouched down and picked up a half-broken picture frame from the pile of rubble.
The framed photo contained a faded picture of a seven or eight-year-old boy, who was smiling and revealing his gap-toothed front teeth.
She stared at the photo for a long time, rubbing her fingers on the glass shards, but couldn't remove the mold.
She hugged the photo frame to her chest, stood up, and turned to walk deeper into the alley.
"stop."
Fu Yibai stood up from behind the monitor, walked up to Fan Binbin, and explained to her the points that she was not entirely satisfied with.
Fan Binbin nodded, put the photo frame back into the pile of rubble, and walked back to the starting position.
Article 2, Article 3, Article 4.
After each take, Fu Yibai would say, "Let's do one more take."
It's not that he's bad, it's that he knows Fan Binbin can be even better.
"Pass."
After Fu Yibai finished speaking, Fan Binbin remained squatting on the ground and did not stand up.
Fu Yibai walked over and helped Fan Binbin up from the ground. Her eyes were red, but she didn't cry.
"I couldn't control my emotions just now."
Her voice was a little hoarse.
"That's the feeling I wanted. You captured it perfectly."
On May 5th, the car didn't arrive, but the rain started.
The film crew waited two days for this rain.
Ning Hao had all departments prepare early in the morning. Although the water trucks were not used, the reflectors for supplemental lighting and the rain covers had to be in place.
Scene 52: Xue Mei follows her enemy in the rain.
The key to this scene is not the action, but Xue Mei's psychological state.
After her release from prison, she found her ex-boyfriend's address and stood across the street in the rain, looking up at the window of that building.
This was the first time she had personally confirmed the existence of her enemy.
The buildings on both sides of the street are of varying heights, and several houses under renovation have scaffolding erected on their exteriors, giving them an unreal appearance in the smoky gray rain.
"Use a Steadicam for this scene, the camera follows her, don't cut the shot."
Fu Yibai said to the director of photography.
"All units are in position."
Extras, please note: those playing passersby should not look at the camera or Binbin; just walk naturally.
"start."
Fan Binbin stepped out of the shadows at the alley entrance.
Fu Yibai stared at the monitor, while Ning Hao admired Fan Binbin's acting skills with a look of admiration.
Fan Binbin stood in the rain for nearly two minutes.
The camera pans from a close-up of her face to her full body, then back to a close-up of her hands.
"stop.
This one passed.
The assistant quickly stepped forward and led Fan Binbin to the tent to rest.
The afternoon shoot continued in the rain.
The rain was heavier than in the morning, and the props team rechecked the rain covers on the lights and reflectors.
It was already evening when we finished work.
On May 17, the film crew moved to Dongshan Island in Fujian.
The Nebula X2 was launched on the same day.
At 10:00 AM, the Nebula X2 went on sale simultaneously at Nebula's directly operated stores in 30 cities across the country.
People started queuing outside the directly operated store in Sanlitun, Beijing, as early as 4 a.m., and the scene was even more exaggerated at the directly operated store on Nanjing Road in Shanghai.
The night before, more than 200 people had brought stools and blankets to sleep in front of the store. The store staff came out in the middle of the night to distribute bottled water and bread.
When the store opened at eight o'clock in the morning, the young man who looked like a college student at the front of the line had been waiting for a full twelve hours.
When he took the first Nebula X2 from the shop assistant, the flashes of more than a dozen media reporters next to him went off at the same time, and the sound of shutters clicking filled the air.
Online sales data is more intuitive.
Nebula Mall launched pre-sales on May 1st, and pre-orders exceeded 5 units within ten days.
At midnight on May 17, in the first hour after the official online sale began, the sales volume exceeded 5 units, and the server experienced a brief delay due to the large number of concurrent requests.
The technical team added six more servers overnight to handle the access pressure.
This time, Meizu's CEO Huang didn't make any rash statements online.
It's also possible that the M9 hasn't been developed yet. It's just unknown whether Huang Zhang will still be able to revive the unborn Meizu M9 after seeing the specifications of the Nebula X2.
Liu Siyuan sat at the Xiamen R&D center, staring at the real-time sales data on the large screen, from midnight until dawn.
By 10 a.m., total sales, including both online and offline sales, had exceeded 100,000 units.
He took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, and said to the technical director next to him, "It's done."
On social media, unboxing and reviews of the Nebula X2 began to appear in large numbers that afternoon.
The hashtag #NebulaX2# trended at the top of the Sina Weibo hot search list within four hours, with over 100 million views.
Digital bloggers rushed to release hands-on experience videos as soon as possible, and the top comments section was filled with positive reviews.
The next morning, reports from major media outlets were released one after another.
Sina Tech's headline reads: "Nebula X2 achieves over 150,000 units sold on its first day, setting a new benchmark for high-end domestic smartphones."
NetEase Technology used a more direct title: "Queuing for twelve hours just to buy a phone, what makes the Nebula X2 so special?"
Tencent Technology's in-depth report focused on the interactive design of Nebula OS 2.0, stating that it "sets a new industry standard for domestic mobile operating systems."
