"Oh my God! It's hard to believe that this is a movie made three years ago. What's even harder to imagine is that this movie was made with a budget of $100,000... I suddenly remembered the previous low-budget documentary horror movie "Paranormal Activity". I personally don't think "Paranormal Activity" is a good movie, but it looks amazing!"

"Oh my god! My impression of Lu Yuan was that he was an internationally famous pianist. Although he is very famous in China, he is not that famous in the United States. However, after watching Lu Yuan's "Buried", I suddenly remembered last year's movies "The Man from Earth" and "Paranormal Activity". I realized that Lu Yuan is a genius. Really, his creativity and unique ideas in making movies simply shocked me..."

"How to shoot a movie with a box office of over 10 million US dollars with a cost of 100,000 US dollars? This may be a very ridiculous question, but... he did it. This Chinese man really did it, and he did it two years ago! He did it two years ago!"

"Wait, in the future, many young directors who have just graduated from college and cannot make big-budget movies will see hope..."

"I seem to have seen a news report from Hollywood, which is about the conflicts between Lu Yuan and major cinema chains and Hollywood..."

"The headline of this news is, The Indomitable Warrior?"

"I saw it too, this..."

"After reading this news, I suddenly realized that these movies are only available in Migos Cinemas. Why are they not available in other cinemas..."

"Yes! I've always wanted to talk about this. Movies like Buried, Those Years We Chased the Same Girl, and Nomadland are not available in other theaters... It seems that this is Lu Yuan's uncompromising attitude towards Hollywood?"

“…”

On the forum.

Waves of comments began to hit the homepage hot spots.

When the influence of "Buried" suddenly exploded in Hollywood, various topics followed.

For example, the movies that Lu Yuan has made, the movies he has acted in, the directors he has been...

For example, Lu Yuan's experience in Hollywood and his experience in China...

For example, the advertisement that Lu Yuan had once run!

Lu Yuan himself has many ridiculous topics. Even if his experiences in the past three years were written into a book, it would definitely be a book that could not be covered even with one or two million words!

All kinds of cool operations, all kinds of eye-popping events...

and……

The box office of Lu Yuan's movies has always been small but great, and it has always been terrifying!

even……

If you look carefully, you can find different film genres...

Any one of these things can be enough to make people discuss it for the whole evening!

Many things are just such a virtuous cycle.

The more popular you are, the more people will pay attention to you, and the more people will pay attention to you...

Well, are you still worried that no one will watch your movie?

Novi Media also followed this wave of popularity and wrote the love-hate relationship between Lu Yuan and Hollywood in the form of a Chinese martial arts novel.

In short, the general meaning is that Lu Yuan suffered a lot of exclusion in Hollywood. He was not optimistic about Hollywood entertainment companies, cinemas, and everyone scolded him. Then Lu Yuan endured it and waited for an opportunity. Now, he finally saw the opportunity. In the future...

Anyway…

Novi Media is the best at making up stories based on pictures, and this time the story is well-founded and indirectly hints at the romantic things of Allen selling ** at Columbia, which is really hard not to pay attention to...

Many media defending Columbia were naturally unhappy and started arguing with Novi on the Internet without saying a word.

The argument was very intense, but although Zhou Shuai is not good at other skills in real life, he is a strong man who is lonely online!

Seeing so many people besieging him, he took his time, picked up the keyboard without saying anything, and said "Keys!" to start a fight...

media……

Suddenly there was an explosion!

Although……

The battle was brutal, and finally ended when Zhou Shuai couldn't hold on any longer...

but……

The publicity effect on Lu Yuan personally is explosive!

Many things have undergone a qualitative change at this moment!

Migos was packed on the first day of its opening, and they had to offer standing room tickets to slightly ease the dissatisfaction of those who came to watch.

Something...

Like a flame.

When you are ignited, everything starts to be different!

…

"Congratulations, boss! We are a great success! Boss, what should we do next?"

“Is Buried Alive a second wave of popularity in the United States?”

"Yes! Not only is Buried Alive popular again, but The Wanderer and The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years are also good! Well, at least judging from the public opinion on the Internet, we are popular!"

"Oh...that's so unexpected!"

"Boss, should we continue to show all your previous movies?"

"What else should I release... The next step is to promote Saw!"

"Saw promotion?"

"Of course we need to promote it. By the way, we can start selling pre-sale tickets online now."

"There's something wrong with the pre-sale tickets. They'll be two days late..."

"What? Two days later?"

"Yes, boss. Because the theaters were renovated too hastily, the supporting facilities have not yet caught up. In addition, the old and new systems of the pre-sale ticket website have been replaced, which directly led to..." Forrest looked up and glanced at Lu Yuan cautiously. "Boss, how about postponing the release of Saw for a few days? Let's promote it for the time being... After the pre-sale ticket system is improved, we will..."

"No! How about this, forget about the online pre-sale tickets and buy them directly at the store!"

"Ah? Physical sales? How do you sell this?"

"Just sell it as normal, except that the tickets sold are advance tickets. By the way, have you prepared the slogan to promote Saw?"

"I'm prepared. Boss, please take a look..."

"What? This slogan doesn't work. I'll help you change it!"

"good!"

"Boss, this...isn't my boasting a little too much..."

"Believe me, I'm not bragging."

"oh……"

In the office, after reading the promotional slogan, Forrest's expression suddenly became a little strange.

It is indeed eye-catching, but...

The exaggeration is really shameless to the point of being excessive.

However, after seeing Lu Yuan's attitude of just coming, he nodded and turned away.

Just as he was about to leave the office...

"Forrest, wait!"

"What's wrong, boss..."

"How are the ice cream sales now?"

"ah?"

"It's okay, just asking, go and do your thing."

"Oh." Forrest nodded blankly and finally left the office.

After Forrest left, Lu Yuan looked at the time, hesitated for a moment, and then took out his phone.

"Hey, Dad... Is there anyone over there?"

"No, that's not what I meant. I don't lack actors right now..."

"Yes... I mean, why don't you have a few people over there sell ice cream and popcorn? In a few days, I see that there are quite a lot of people at the cinema..."

"I don't know how much I can earn, but I won't lose money. Why don't you come here to test the waters first? Didn't you want to come to the United States to check the market before?"

"What? You run a restaurant instead of an ice cream shop? What's the difference... they both sell food anyway!"

“…”

…

the next day.

June 14th.

The second day of cinema operation.

The craziness and excitement of the first day caught everyone off guard, but no one took it seriously. Everyone thought that Migos was going downhill.

after all……

It was normal that on the first day, you, Lu Yuan, brought many people from all walks of life to watch the movie.

You are a big name in the international piano world and you are so famous in China, so you must have a lot of energy, but your enthusiasm should have subsided the next day, right?

But……

A scene that shocked everyone in the Hollywood entertainment industry appeared!

At noon on the second day of business, a large group of people suddenly appeared and lined up in a long and neat queue.

As he passed a Migos Cinema branch, Alan was stunned when he saw the long line.

It shouldn't be like this!

Why are there still so many people queuing?

He felt that he was a little confused about the situation...

Didn’t Migos Cinemas launch standing tickets? Why are there still so many people queuing?

etc!

This is……

What's going on?

When he arrived at the scene and saw the advertisement hanging at the gate, he was a little confused.

"Saw, an alternative craze in American horror movies, is about to hit. Are you ready?"

"This is a movie only the brave can watch. For the faint-hearted... I'm sorry, you should go home to your mother!"

"People with heart disease should not watch this movie... If a shock or other problems occur during the movie, the theater and the company will not be held responsible!"

"This will be the first heart-pounding horror film in American history!"

"It's not scary, you can hit me!"

"Physical ticket pre-sale officially begins!"

“…”

Allen was suddenly shocked by the headline-grabbing advertising slogans!

He was shocked that Lu Yuan was so shameless!

Just like some shameless and unscrupulous media.

Can you even pull out this advertising slogan?

Do you still have any shame?

After seeing the physical pre-sale tickets for "Saw", Allen was suddenly speechless again!

He suddenly realized why these people were queuing!

The advance tickets for the premiere of "Saw" were not sold online, but directly...

Physical sale!

These people...

Come here to buy the pre-sale tickets for physical sales!

“Is this movie really that great?”

"I don't know either, but I don't need these few dollars..."

"Yeah, seeing how exaggerated their promotional slogans are, I'm really curious. Spending a few dollars to buy a Huggies won't have much impact!"

"right!"

"Wait, we bought the tickets and are we going back now? We're already out, how about we..."

"To the movies?"

"Well, I heard there's a new movie called Groundhog Day..."

"Okay! But it seems that standing tickets are no longer available..."

"Ah? You can't even buy standing tickets?"

"Yes, there are only tickets for tomorrow... Uh, no, the ticket sales for tomorrow seem to be a little different... Wait, look at the back of this ticket!"

"What?"

"Those of us who bought advance tickets for Saw will be eligible to grab tickets for other movies for free tomorrow... and they're seat tickets!"

"ah!"

"Oh my god, hurry up and buy another advance ticket, the price of this ticket may go up!"

"Ah? What? The advance seat tickets are sold out? Only standing tickets available again?"

"Oh my god, what does this mean..."

“…”

“…”

After hearing the conversation between a couple, Alan looked up at the sky silently.

At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated.

Fancy clickbait marketing!

Bundle marketing!

Hunger marketing!

Oh shit!

This person...

Oh my god, this guy...

Why do I feel like I can do anything!

Allen then left the cinema.

When he returned to the company, he saw his assistant running in hurriedly.

"Mr. Allen... there is a good thing and a bad thing, which one do you want to listen to?"
