Hollywood Director 1992

After the overseas box office data for "Buried" was released, many American media enthusiastically reported the news.

The Los Angeles Times reported that the value of "Buried" is continuing to grow, stating, 'Over the past period, many unfavorable news reports about "Buried" have appeared in the media.

Including Link蹭蹭 (cèng) red carpet, Link being uncultured, "Buried" relying on hype to become a hit, and possible box office fraud, among other negative reports.

In the film critic circles, there have also been some debates regarding "Is Buried a good movie or a bad movie?"

Some reviews considered it a good movie because of its novel and bold subject matter, and profound theme, among other things.

More film critics believed that "Buried" was a bad movie, crudely made, with flaws in the plot design, a monotonous plot, and Link's performance being rather forced, etc.

The larger the release scale of "Buried" and the higher the box office results, the more the negative reviews gradually gained a dominant position in relevant comments.

However, with the release of the overseas box office results of "Buried," many negative comments about "Buried" in the media were refuted.

For example, saying "Buried" is a bad film; if it were a bad film, why would it be a hit overseas? Are overseas audiences as unsophisticated as North American audiences?

If a bad film is accepted by movie fans all over the world, is it still a bad film?

This is worth discussing.

For example, there was news saying that "Buried" relied on hype to become a hit.

During the release of "Buried," many media outlets constantly compared "Buried" with the highly popular "Chaplin," bringing a lot of attention to "Buried."

"Buried's" low cost and high box office, and ultra-high return ratio, were also topics that the media often used for hype.

"Buried" did have some suspicion of hype during its release.

But can a movie become a hit just by relying on hype?

The answer is no.

When "Buried" was released overseas, the distributor only did normal publicity and did not hype any topics.

Under such circumstances, "Buried" can still be a hit, which is enough to show that the movie "Buried" is indeed good and has been supported by most people.

As for the film critics who think this movie is not good, perhaps they cannot appreciate this very trendy movie, and their criticisms of "Buried" can be reserved.'

The above is the commentary from The Los Angeles Times.

In addition to The Los Angeles Times, major media outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, and the American Forum also reported on the release situation and box office data of "Buried," and evaluated "Buried" and the director and star from their respective perspectives.

Although some media still believe that "Buried" has certain flaws, considering the tens of millions of dollars in box office revenue, they have to admit that "Buried" has been recognized by the audience and the market and is a worthwhile new-style movie.

In addition to the media, Hollywood stars Bruce Willis, Jim Carrey, Jennifer Connelly, and others have publicly stated that they like this movie.

Influenced by the media and numerous movie stars' publicity, audiences who were originally hesitant about whether to watch "Buried" flocked to the cinema to watch it.

This also led to the rare situation of a reverse trend in "Buried's" North American box office this week.

The box office revenue for just Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday has exceeded $1 million, and the media predicts that "Buried's" sixth-week box office may return to the $3 million mark.

If this data is achieved, "Buried's" North American box office will reach $20 million, and "Buried's" North American box office return ratio will be as high as 1000 times, an unprecedented 1000 times.

"This is too exaggerated! Ben, "Buried's" North American box office return ratio is as high as 1000 times, and the global box office return ratio is three to four thousand times. According to this situation, are you confident that you can surpass Link in three to five years?"

By the pool, Matt Damon pointed to the data in the newspaper, with amazement, admiration, and deep envy on his face.

"What three to four thousand times? Don't think of "Buried" as so amazing. The cost of "Buried" is advertised as only 20,000, but do you think that's possible? Including the director and star Link, the voice actors, and the crew's salaries, the cost definitely exceeds 20,000.

In addition, after the movie was released, the distributor invested millions of dollars in publicity, which is also a cost, so the box office return ratio of "Buried" is only dozens of times. Dozens of times is nothing. As long as I want to catch up, I will definitely be able to catch up."

Ben Affleck stood on the diving board by the pool, did a few chest expansion exercises, put his hands together, and jumped into the water with a plop, splashing water larger than a cow.

Matt Damon shook his head and continued to read the news about "Buried" in the newspaper.

After returning to Los Angeles, he originally wanted to find Link to chat about the movie, but the people at the burger shop said that Link had become rich and moved to Beverly Hills, and it is now difficult to see him again.

Matt Damon also regretted that when Link was not successful, he could be seen on the road at any time. If he didn't want to chat with him, Link would take the initiative to start a conversation.

But now it is difficult to see Link even once.

"Ben, I'm going to the Screen Actors Guild to see if I can find a suitable role. Are you going?"

"Matt, are you serious? Today is the weekend, the only weekend of the week. Shouldn't we be enjoying the wonderful weekend at home at this time?"

"The guys at the burger shop said that in the past six months, Link has been working non-stop to earn money for filming, running errands on film sets, day and night, let alone weekends.

Link is so amazing and so diligent. If we are not more diligent, in another two years, let alone catch up with him, we won't even be able to see the back of his head."

"Damn it! That sounds really harsh."

Ben Affleck angrily struck the water with his arm. Seeing Matt Damon putting on his clothes, he also grumbled and walked ashore.

When reporting the latest box office data of "Buried," the media also reported Link's box office split terms with United Cinemas and 20th Century Fox.

According to the current data, the overseas box office revenue of "Buried" has reached 40 million, and Link will have the opportunity to receive another 4 million+ in revenue.

And the North American box office revenue of "Buried" has exceeded 20 million, and the box office split that Link will receive will be as high as six to seven million dollars.

That is to say, Link invested 20,000 US dollars to make a movie and will receive more than 10 million US dollars in net income, becoming a millionaire in one fell swoop, a millionaire at the young age of 20.

The Hollywood Reporter stated that although Link is not the first grassroots actor to become a millionaire with movie box office revenue, he is the closest one to everyone, a vivid success story, worthy of learning by all filmmakers still struggling at the bottom of Hollywood.

No mistake, one first, one issue, one content, one in, one look!

"An idol?"

In the apartment, Monica Bellucci stared at Link's photo in the magazine, her long eyelashes blinked.

She recalled the first time she met Link, Link rushed upstairs recklessly, his shoulder bumped into her chest. At that time, she thought Link did it on purpose, even if it wasn't intentional, it was very rude.

When Link apologized, he blurted out her name, which must have been inquired in advance, prepared in advance.

When parting, Link warned her that the surroundings were unsafe and that it was best not to go out at night, as if he was trying to be attentive.

After Link finished speaking, he left in a hurry, behaving like a young boy just beginning to experience love.

After that meeting, her impression of Link was a negative score.

The second time they met, Link was lying in front of the small window of the management office, begging the manager to open the door and make an exception for one night, saying that he would pay the rent the next day even if he had to borrow money, looking very down and out.

Later, Link introduced himself as a director, preparing to make a movie, and also wanted to give her a role, which seemed more like he was pretending to save face, deliberately fabricating an identity in front of a beauty.

It seemed naive and ridiculous.

After the second meeting, her impression of Link was a negative 20 points, belonging to a stranger who needed to be guarded against.

But now, looking back, everything doesn't seem to be like that.

Link rushing upstairs may have been busy running around for the movie's release, going out early and returning late, even unconsciously speeding up his pace when walking.

Seeing her, a woman, going out at night, giving a word of advice was also out of kindness.

The day he asked Lucy to open the door was the day before the premiere of "Buried." He must have been very busy those few days, and forgetting to pay the rent was also because he was too busy, not deliberately delaying the rent.

When Link talked to her about the role in the new movie, it was indeed a sincere invitation, not the kind of temporary excuse made to please a beauty.

Later, in several contacts with Link, she increasingly felt that he was a great man, gentle and refined, humorous and witty, patient and meticulous to people, and had excellent personal cultivation.

He was in poverty, but still showed positivity, optimism, open-mindedness, kindness, full of ambition and drive, and possessed a powerful and courageous heart.

As well as the professionalism and seriousness he showed at work.

Full of the charm of a mature man.

Monica secretly felt ashamed for misunderstanding him in the past, and was also happy to have met him and gained his recognition.

There are many talented and wealthy men in the world, but young, handsome, and of good character are rare, and the man she can currently contact is only Link.

Link is not just a man, but also an opportunity.

Monica looked at the prosperous Los Angeles city line outside the window, picked up the phone in the apartment, and called Link to congratulate him on the movie's achievements.
