Chapter 357 357, We Are Going to Be Famous
【Supernatural? coincide? Or a conspiracy?
On the evening of April 31st, the sequel to the horror-thriller film "Death Comes", written and directed by Sun Hao and which grossed US$416 million in box office worldwide, was officially released.
It is rumored that without any publicity, "Death Comes 2" has done pretty well!
In South Korea alone, 150,000 people poured into the cinema to watch the film that night. But at this moment, an unexpected accident happened.
In the No. 2 screening room of Meijia Happy Cinema in Gangnam District, Seoul, an audience member named Lee Keun-suk was watching a movie when his mobile phone in his trouser pocket suddenly exploded, causing a burst of screams from the scene.
From the photos at the scene, we can see that the boy's left trouser pocket has been blown open, exposing his thigh, which is bloody and bloody.
Of course, if this is the only time a mobile phone explosion occurs, it must be an accident.
Unfortunately...
On April 31, at 8:15 pm Seoul time, a mobile phone explosion occurred in the second screening room of Mega Happy Cinema; at 8:27 pm Seoul time, a mobile phone explosion occurred in the VIP screening room of MEGABOX Cinema in Jeju Island; at 9:24 pm Seoul time A mobile phone explosion occurred in the No. 4 screening room of the Busan Cinema Hall Cinema;
On May 1, at 10:15 Tokyo time, a mobile phone explosion occurred in the No. 4 screening room of the Ginza Cinema in Tokyo; at 11:56 Beijing time, a mobile phone explosion occurred in the No. 6 screening room of the Broadway Cinema Center on Hong Kong Island; at 7 p.m. Eastern Time in the United States At 1:46 a.m., a mobile phone exploded in Auditorium 4 of the IFC Center Cinema in Manhattan, New York...
A total of 8 mobile phone explosion accidents have a common feature, that is, they were all accidents caused by movie fans while watching the movie "Death Comes 2".
Some metaphysicians believe that the incident is very strange and may be caused by some kind of dirty thing; some professionals believe that this incident should be related to mobile phones, because the mobile phones that exploded were all of the same model, SGH-800C.
It is reported that the SGH-800C mobile phone was developed and produced by South Korea's Samsung. It was launched globally at the end of last year. This model of mobile phone had exploded two months ago, but it was a pity that it was suppressed by Samsung's public relations team at the time.

Unlike Lu Haibo, who was sitting next to him watching the news on the portal, Huang Yi was reading posts, which were edited by some domestic paranormal enthusiasts.
The post details the "supernatural" incident that has occurred abroad in the past two days. No matter which country's cinema is now, as long as "Death Comes 2" is shown, the screening hall will always be shrouded in a kind of horror. atmosphere.
I'm afraid of a sudden "bang" sound...
Some members of parliament from Portugal, the Netherlands, and France even suggested that the government should consider banning the film.
Huang Yi got scared when she saw the word "Banned". She took out her cell phone and called Sun Hao.
As soon as the call was connected, Huang Yi said in a tearful tone: "Director, something happened, the movie "Death Is Coming 2" we were filming..."
After all, he is a student at the film school. He has taken a line class and is articulate and organized. In less than five minutes, Huang Yi relayed the news he got from the Internet to Sun Hao, who was filming a TV series in the northwest.
After saying that, she couldn't help but worry: "Director, what should we do now?"
But who could have imagined that Sun Hao on the phone just replied lightly.
"knew!"
…
"knew…"
Lu Haibo, who was browsing news on the website, was surprised when he received Sun Hao's reply from Huang Yi.
"Huang Yi, you said our director just said 'he knows'?"
"Uh huh huh..."
Huang Yi, who was sitting in the Internet cafe, nodded her head like garlic.
knew…
What does it mean?
Is it a mess?
Anyway, if something like this happens, there is nothing anyone can do to turn the situation around!
Lu Haibo, who was five months older than Sun Hao, thought carefully for a while and couldn't think of a reason. After all, he didn't have any ideas.
But at this time, the headlines of Sohu website suddenly updated a piece of news.
[Hollywood film distribution companies Miramax Pictures, Columbia Pictures, China a China Film Group, and Hong Kong Yinghuang Entertainment jointly issued this message to global movie fans through CCTV, Fuji TV, Fox TV, Sky TV and other major media around the world. announcement
As a film distributor, we are deeply saddened by the continuous accidents that happen to movie fans in theaters, and we will be responsible to the end!
It also guarantees that if any movie fan has an accident such as the explosion of a Samsung mobile phone while watching the movie "Death Comes 2", the movie distributor will immediately initiate the subrogation procedure and take the lead in paying the injured movie fan's medical expenses and 20,000 US dollars. penalty for damages……】
In fact, before he finished reading this long piece of news, Lu Haibo jumped up from his chair and hugged Huang Yi fiercely.
"Huang Yi, we are going to be popular!"
If it is really going to be a hit, if you burn some skin, you can get 20,000 US dollars in compensation. I believe that many people who bought Samsung mobile phones will want to go to the cinema even if they don’t want to watch a movie.
Watch "Death Comes 2" once if your phone doesn't explode, then watch it twice. Anyway, as long as the phone is not damaged intentionally, you will always have a chance to get the compensation.
The probability of eight explosions in one day is really not that high.
Of course, the more important thing is the advertising effect. Samsung's stock price plummeted, and mainstream media around the world are reporting on this. It is impossible for Final Destination 2 not to attract the attention of the world.
Huang Yi, who is very smart, thought so.

Shangtan Village, Zhongwei, Ning Province
The shooting site of "Mountains and Seas" located in Yongkang Rural Primary School has been arranged long ago, but Sun Hao, the director, is still making phone calls, one after another...
"Mr. Han, this is really an accident and has nothing to do with us. You think I can't control the explosion of Samsung mobile phones in Tokyo, Japan, right?
What we have to do now is to do the best crisis public relations!"
"Mr. Yang, Mr. Han and I have agreed that I want US dollars for the box office share of Final Destination 2. You can just transfer the money directly to my account in Hong Kong Island."
" Yes, Mr. Harvey, I haven't decided yet whether the trip to the United States on June 9th can be made?
It's not that I don't want to go, but there are too many things to do. Think about it, we were originally only going to shoot "The Martian", but now we have added "The Moon". "
"Comrade Jin Yuji, please contact Brother Zhengnan for me to see when he is free. Let's meet in Macau. I need to settle the bill."
...
Looking at Sun Hao who was on the phone, everyone was not in a hurry. They drank water when they should drink water, laughed when they should laugh, and ate melon seeds when they should eat melon seeds. Anyway, they did whatever they felt comfortable.
Because they have been following Sun Hao for so long, his working habits have long been known to everyone. If there is no urgent matter, Sun Hao, as a director, will not even bring a mobile phone to the crew.
"Hello..., Director Li, what's wrong with the director today?" Sun Honglei has just been here for a few days. Seeing that Sun Hao actually stopped the crew's filming for personal matters, he was a little curious. He should not be such a person at ordinary times?!
"Final Destination 2" was released worldwide the night before yesterday. I think the director should have called Mr. Han and Mr. Yang to discuss this matter." Li Yu touched his chin and analyzed.
"Really?"
Sun Honglei blinked his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
