This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 823 Press down his coffin lid (asking for monthly ticket)
It was already June.

"Buried", which was released in North America, has also been shown in theaters and by Hollywood moviegoers.

Ryan Reynolds is working hard to promote his new movie.

I hope this movie can bring him good luck.

To this end, 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, there was a burst of wailing.

Therefore, the promotional plan proposed by Hao Yun is as follows:
Miguo’s brothers and sisters!

Ryan Reynolds married Scarlett Johansson. Do you feel bad?
It’s so uncomfortable!
There's nothing you can do about it, you can't beat Ryan Reynolds to death.

Do you guys want to see Ryan Reynolds get unlucky?
Do you want to see Ryan Reynolds suffer?

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 6.10th.

Ryan Reynolds!
Aren't you engaged to Scarlett?
Didn’t you make Scarlett scream?

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

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

We used our movie tickets to press down the lid of his coffin so that he couldn'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, but after Hao Yun said this, I suddenly felt refreshed.

After the movie was released, it received rave reviews.

Oh my god, this feels so fucking good.

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

Of course, there are also people who have no interest in Scarlett.

Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson are engaged, he must be using his own tools to get things done, it's none of your business.

It's just the heat that's been created.

Now that you've heard of this movie, go to the cinema and watch it out of curiosity.

In order to get such impartial audiences to accept a movie, it depends on the quality of the movie itself.

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

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

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

"Buried" can and should leave a brilliant mark in film history just for 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 audiences.

Mostly positive reviews.

Hao Yun is not Dao Le, so of course he gets negative reviews.

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

The New York Times said that the film's technique was like the protagonist who was tied to a coffin and vomited constantly - he didn't know where he was. The filming techniques of this film greatly reduced the integrity of the film.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that it's just their butt problems that are wrong, not their brains.

It's just for the sake of spraying.

Overall, the movie has a good reputation among ordinary movie fans.

Due to the limitations of subject matter and style, it is impossible for there to be a box office explosion.

Moviegoers here have been bombarded with all kinds of great movies and have long become immune to them.

But the first week box office still achieved a good result of 1800 million US dollars.

This result made Paramount drop its jaw.

In the end what happened.

After all, the total cost was only 300 million, and the marketing only took advantage of the engagement of Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson.

The incident was hyped up, and then this hype was used to attract people to the cinema, and finally the popularity of the movie was increased by word of mouth, forming a perfect cycle. It was a mixture of joy and sorrow, inexplicably just right.

With this momentum, the box office might be 30 to 40 million, or even 50 million US dollars.

Converted into RMB, it is two or three hundred million.

When Paramount President Brad Grey got this result, he felt like he was going to poop and tried hard to recall his "sweet past" with Hao Yun.

In fact, he has tried very hard to value Hao Yun.

I hope to co-produce a film with him and enter the Chinese film market as soon as possible.

I didn't expect that I still underestimated him.

Such a weird script, with a cost of three million U.S. dollars and a mediocre actor who only lives off the actors, is expected to reach a box office of fifty million U.S. dollars.

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

This means that Paramount's most profitable movie this year may be "Buried".

Brad Grey had also heard about Hao Yun and Michael Bay’s collaboration to establish FC Pictures, but he didn’t take it seriously at the time. The Hollywood film industry had already entered a period of fierce competition, and it was 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 on his part as president.

I don’t know whether I can invest in it again in the future.

At the very least, they couldn't break off their friendship. He hesitated whether to wait until the movie was released before calling Hao Yun to ask about his next Hollywood film review plan, or to call him now to avoid being beaten to it by someone else.

A movie that can earn 50 million US dollars at the box office with a cost of 3 million US dollars, no Hollywood film company would ignore it.

Brad Grey is still a bit reserved, but Ryan Reynolds doesn't have so many concerns.

He called Hao Yun almost every other day.

Even more affectionate than he was to Scarlett.

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

I have chosen the brand Hao Yun.

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

The total cost of "Buried" was only three million US dollars.

"I might be the lead actor in my next movie. As for the next one, I'm not sure yet. If you have the chance, don't miss it."

Hao Yun was helpless.

"So what's your next movie? You can't be an actor, right? I can be your supporting actor."

Ryan Reynolds went for it.

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

The other four people had no idea why they missed such an opportunity.

One of them got drunk in a bar and got hit on the head.

Hollywood actors got to know Hao Yun because of "Buried" and developed a strong interest in him. They collected some relevant information about him in China.

I found out that this person is really awesome.

Some people gave Hao Yun the nickname "Magician", which means magician.

Movie magician!
This title is quite impressive, mainly because it praises Hao Yun's ability to make big gains with small efforts, and his representative work is not limited to "Buried". The Little Forest, which was just released in China, cost less than 150 million US dollars and created a global box office of 7800 million US dollars in markets outside Europe and the United States.

Now that Ryan Reynolds has been favored, he doesn't want to fall out of favor.

Be Hao Yun's partner and serve him well.

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

"Manchester by the Sea" is actually okay, a low-budget film.

Mainly for "Source Code", Hao Yun had been considering who to cast the role. Ryan Reynolds's initiative made him start considering a combination of Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson.

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 called.

Ask Hao Yun when he will start filming his next movie.

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

Whether it's Manchester by the Sea or Source Code, you have to come to Hollywood to work.
