Chapter 822 Pressing Down His Coffin Lid

It was already June.

"Buried" released in North America has also been released in theaters and Hollywood moviegoers.

Ryan Reynolds worked hard to promote his new movie.

I hope this movie can bring him good luck.

For this reason, Ryan Reynolds announced his engagement to Scarlett Johansson on the eve of the release of "Buried".

Scarlett is very popular on Miguo. After all, some people are even willing to drink her bath water.

When they heard the news of her engagement, they wailed.

So, Hao Yun's promotional plan was like this:

Miguo brothers (cocks) and brothers (silks)!

Ryan Reynolds married Scarlett, so I ask you if it's hard for you?

It's hard!

You can't do anything about it, and you can't beat Ryan Reynolds to death.

Do you want to see Ryan Reynolds unlucky?

Do you want to see Ryan Reynolds in pain?

Do you want to see Ryan Reynolds desperate?

Come on, "Buried" produced by Michael Bay and directed by Felix Hao will be released in North America on June 10.

Ryan Reynolds!

Aren't you engaged to Scarlett?

Didn't you make Scarlett scream?

Dig a hole, bury some soil, count one, two, three, four, five.

One person, one coffin, let's bury Ryan Reynolds alive.

Use our movie tickets to press down his coffin so that he can't climb out.

Frankly speaking, after this marketing plan came out, Paramount's contempt for Chinese films was immediately dispelled.

Talent.

Such a dull and depressing movie, after Hao Yun said this, it was immediately full of excitement.

After the movie was released, it immediately received rave reviews.

Damn, it was so damn cool.

Ryan Reynolds didn't find anyone to save him at the end of the movie, which was even more satisfying.

Of course, some people are not interested in Scarlett.

Ryan Reynolds is engaged to Scarlett, so he must use his own tools to get things done. What does it have to do with everyone?

It's just a hype.

Since you've heard about this movie, go to the cinema with curiosity.

For such an audience without any grudges to recognize a movie, it depends on the quality of the movie itself.

Fortunately, the quality of the movie "Buried" itself is very good.

After sorting out what the movie is, major media and film critics began to give their own opinions on the movie itself.

The Chicago Tribune commented that a coffin, a man, a lighter, a mobile phone and a package, the minimalist equipment and extreme space did not limit the movie itself due to the sense of isolation. Instead, with its unique perspective, superb shots and detailed plot, it created a refreshing anti-war vision with both horror and freshness.

"Buried Alive" can and should leave a wonderful mark in the history of film just by virtue of its innovative form of expression, not to mention that the film also has interesting and thought-provoking connotations.

"Today's Rice Fruit" commented that the film's continuous suspense and rare performance style make it extremely attractive to the audience.

Most of them are good reviews.

Hao Yun is not Dao Le, so of course there are bad reviews.

Some people have made very sharp criticisms of this Chinese director.

The New York Times said that the film's techniques are just like the male protagonist who is tied to a coffin and vomiting constantly - he doesn't know where he is. The filming techniques of this film have greatly reduced the overall quality of the film.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that they just have problems with their buttocks, not because of their brains.

They are just spraying for the sake of spraying.

Overall, the film has been regarded as having a good reputation in the eyes of ordinary movie fans.

It's just limited to the subject matter and style, and it is impossible for there to be a box office explosion.

Moviegoers here have been bombarded with all kinds of good films and have long been immune to them.

But the first week box office still achieved a good result of 18 million US dollars.

This result made Paramount drop its jaw.

What happened?

After all, the total cost was only 3 million, and the marketing only took advantage of the engagement of Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson.

Use the event to hype up the heat, then use this heat to attract people to the cinema, and finally use the word-of-mouth of the movie to increase the heat, forming a perfect cycle.

It is a happy and sad, inexplicably just right.

With this posture, there may be 30 to 40 million, or even 50 million US dollars in box office.

Converted into RMB, it is 200 to 300 million.

When Paramount President Brad Grey got this result, he was so eager to shit that he tried hard to recall the "sweet past" with Hao Yun.

He actually tried very hard to value Hao Yun.

He hoped to make a co-production with him and enter the Chinese film market as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, he still underestimated him.

Such a strange script, with a cost of 3 million dollars and a low-profile actor, is expected to reach a box office of 50 million dollars.

The box office of Hollywood movies is only a part of the revenue, and it is not as exaggerated as the box office of mainland movies, which accounts for 80% to 90%.

In other words, Paramount's most profitable movie this year may be "Buried".

Brad Grey also heard that Hao Yun and Michael Bay had cooperated to establish a film company before, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. Hollywood movies have long entered a fierce competition, and it is difficult for new companies to gain a foothold.

But now it seems that Paramount's failure to get involved was a serious dereliction of duty as the president.

He didn't know if he could invest in it later.

At least he couldn't break off the friendship. He hesitated whether to wait until the movie was released before calling Hao Yun to ask about the shooting plan of the next Hollywood film review, or to call now to avoid being beaten to it.

Looking at the entire Hollywood film company, no one would not take it seriously if they could earn $50 million at the box office with a cost of $3 million.

Brad Grey would be reserved, but Ryan Reynolds didn't have so many concerns.

He called Hao Yun almost every other day.

He was even more affectionate than he treated Scarlett.

He strongly requested Hao Yun to choose him as the protagonist in his next movie, even if he didn't want the salary.

He recognized the brand of Hao Yun.

Even if other film companies paid him $3 million to make a movie, he ignored it.

The total cost of "Buried" was only $3 million.

"I may be the lead actor in the next movie. As for the next movie, I am not sure yet. If you have a chance, don't miss it."

Hao Yun was helpless.

"What will you shoot next? You can't be an actor. I can go to play a supporting role for you."

Ryan Reynolds took the risk.

Many people in the circle knew that Hao Yun had prepared five candidates for "Buried" at the beginning, but the pie fell on Ryan Reynolds' head.

The other four people didn't understand why they missed such an opportunity.

One of them got drunk in a bar and got his head smashed.

Hollywood actors got to know Hao Yun because of "Buried" and became very interested in him. They collected some relevant information about him in China.

They found that this person was really awesome.

Someone nicknamed Hao Yun "magian", which means magician.

Movie magician!

This title is quite impressive. It is mainly to praise Hao Yun for his ability to win big with small investment. And it is not just his masterpiece "Buried". The Little Forest, which was just released in China, cost less than 1.5 million US dollars and set a global box office of 78 million US dollars in markets outside Europe and the United States.

Since Ryan Reynolds has been favored, he does not want to fall out of favor.

Play a supporting role for Hao Yun and serve Hao Yun well.

"Okay, if there is a suitable role, I will find you then." Hao Yun quickly calculated in his mind.

"Manchester by the Sea" is actually okay, a low-cost work.

Mainly "Source Code", Hao Yun has been considering who to play. Ryan Reynolds's initiative to show goodwill made him start to consider a pair of Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett.

Moreover, if Ryan Reynolds is chosen, Scarlett should also be able to get a friendly price.

When "Let the Bullets Fly" was completed in late June, Michael Bay also called.

Asked when Hao Yun would start shooting his next movie.

Buried is a good start, and subsequent works must keep up.

Whether it is Manchester by the Sea or Source Code, you have to work in Hollywood.
