let go of that director

Chapter 173 Road Encounters
Time flies, and it is fleeting in the blink of an eye.

March passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it entered April.

A full month after its release, "Delta Lost" (Horror Cruise) is still a little short of 500 million viewers at the box office.

After negotiating with CJ Entertainment, Lee Seung-woo decided to extend the screening time for another ten days. Until two days before the next painting, the box office finally passed the 500 million movie-viewing mark. Lee Seung-woo became one of the few Korean directors with 500 million. One of the directors of box office productions.

a time.

Lee Seung-woo's reputation has grown again, and the media has started a new round of praise.

"The 500 million club has added newcomers, and directors born in the [-]s are the best!"

"Bright new star, there are successors! Congratulations to director Lee Seung-woo for joining the 500 million box office club!"

"Small cost, high box office! Director Lee Seung-woo's secret to success!"

"Birth of a Genius: The Rise of Lee Seung Woo!"

"Lee Seung Woo is undoubtedly the representative of the new generation of directors!"

……

The praise of the media caused a whirlwind for Lee Seung-woo on the Internet. However, in the face of the praise and praise from the outside world, Lee Seung-woo was not touched much. He stayed at home most of the time, neither accepting media interviews nor accepting invitations from magazines. Continue to pursue the line of mysticism.

So it is.

Within a week, when the whirlwind blew through the Internet, Li Chengyou's popularity quickly dropped.

morning.

Lee Seung Woo's apartment.

An Taihe sat opposite to Li Chengyou, looked at Li Chengyou, An Taihe shook his head and smiled, "Chengyou, you really don't have the temperament of a young man, such a good opportunity to show off, you are so calm and not at all moved. "

Li Chengyou said dumbly: "Brother Taihe, I'm not an artist, and it's useless to have these false names. No matter how high the false name is, the director still has to use the work to speak. If my next work fails, how much the media praise me now?" Gao, how hard they will trample on me in the future. Right now they are all boasting that I am brilliant, but in the future they will call me dead. "

An Taihe: "..."

He laughed uncontrollably and said no more.

Having known Li Chengyou for so long, he also has a certain understanding of Li Chengyou's character.Although Lee Seung Woo is only in his early twenties, he does not have the immaturity and vainness of young people at all. He acts prudently and has means. This is why he is willing to leave SM and join Lee Seung Woo's company.

After a pause, An Taihe said: "Chengyou, the Baeksang Arts Awards will be held in half a month. Your film won several nominations this time, and the organizer has already passed me through. This year's Baeksang Arts Awards You will definitely win the Grand Prize. CJ has also been negotiating with me recently, planning to push your film to overseas markets after the Cannes Film Festival is over."

Li Chengyou nodded, not surprised.

When negotiating with CJ to extend the film's release time, the reason why CJ agreed immediately was because after the box office reached 500 million, it would be more conducive to overseas promotion.

After all, CJ is also one of the main investors of the movie, and CJ can also get higher profits by promoting the movie overseas.

Looking at An Taihe, Li Chengyou smiled and said: "Brother Taihe, I will trouble you for these things. Those who are capable will work harder, so I will trouble you more."

An Taihe nodded with a smile, paused, and said again: "Chengyou, now that the movie has been drawn, I wonder if you have any new ideas about the company's next work?"

Li Chengyou said: "I have some ideas for the time being, but it will take about two to three months for the script to be completed. Let's wait until the second half of the year. During this time, I have been busy with movies and TV dramas, and I need to rest for a month or two. If If there are no accidents, the film preparations will start in July and August in the second half of the year, and if all goes well, the filming will start around September."

Seeing that Li Chengyou had already planned, An Taihe felt relieved.

The reason why he is willing to join Lee Seung Woo's company is because he wants to take a step forward in his career. If it takes a few years to produce a work like SM, then he might as well stay in SM if he joins Lee Seung Woo's company.

After chatting about work and chatting for a while, An Taihe said goodbye and left.

Sitting on the sofa, Li Chengyou also breathed a long sigh of relief.

After traveling for more than a year, his career has finally entered the right track. In Huaxia, Li's father's business is also progressing smoothly. It can be said that he has finally achieved financial freedom to a certain extent. Scheming, hard work.

The next day.

Lee Seung-woo, who was in a relaxed suit, rarely stayed at home. He fell asleep until noon. After washing up, he didn't drive. He took a taxi to YG, asked Kim Ji-soo to have a meal together, and wandered aimlessly around Seoul in the afternoon. hang out.

After shopping until after three o'clock in the afternoon, I passed by a cinema and went into the cinema to watch a movie. When I came out, it was already past five o'clock and the sky was dark.

Li Chengyou looked at the sky, and he lost the interest in continuing to hang out. After leaving the theater, he prepared to call a car and go back.

But who would have thought that not far from the cinema, a figure suddenly stopped in front of him.

Li Chengyou was startled suddenly, a little surprised.

Looking intently at the figure standing in front of him, Li Chengyou couldn't help laughing when he saw the other person's appearance clearly.

"What a coincidence, we meet again."

"I thought it was you just now, but I didn't expect it was really you."

Li Chengyou nodded and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, I didn't expect you to be much taller. How are you doing recently? Life is going well, right?"

"It's okay. It must be a lot worse than you. In the past six months or so, I have often seen your news on the Internet. By the way, how are you and your girlfriend? Have you broken up?"

Lee Seung Woo: "..."

You can really talk.

Li Chengyou rolled his eyes secretly, smiled as usual and said, "It's okay to borrow your good words."

"She didn't break up with you?"

The other party was a little surprised, but then said: "Yes. You are so famous now, several film and television dramas have been successful in a row, and you have made a lot of money. If an ordinary girl meets a boy with your conditions, even if she knows that you are bothered It is true that very few people are willing to let go for the sake of money. — By the way, now that you have the fame and the money, there must be many girls jumping on you.

Are you currently living the kind of life you desire? "

Li Chengyou was a little convinced.

The girl in front of me really doesn't regard herself as an outsider. We only met once, and we can't even talk about acquaintances. You really dare to say anything outside.

Can you understand deeply with simple words?This emotion is touching enough.

Li Chengyou suddenly felt very boring, and was too lazy to talk nonsense with the girl in front of him.

Smiling, Li Chengyou said: "It's okay. Well, it's getting late, I have to go back quickly, or I'll do it this time, and see you next time."

After finishing speaking, Li Chengyou nodded slightly, turned around, and was about to leave.

But just as he took a step, before he even fell, the voice behind him suddenly sounded again.

"and many more……"
