let go of that director

Chapter 24 Determining the schedule
"Lee Seung Woo wrote and directed a movie, and has it been filmed?"

I don't know where the news came from. There are rumors that the internal students of Dongguk University flowed out. Li Chengyou is a well-known talent in Dongguk University. He just graduated from junior year and was promoted to senior year. He created a script and attracted investment. , just finished filming last month.

As soon as this news was exposed on the Internet, it immediately sparked heated discussions.

"So awesome? What a talent! No wonder Xu Xian fell in love with him!"

"Born in 1990, just in his senior year, didn't even graduate yet, can write and direct by himself at the age of 23? Well, this is another child from someone else's family."

"I can finally relax a little bit, young, handsome, and talented, and barely worthy of our youngest."

"Does anyone know when Lee Seung Woo's movie will be released? I'm suddenly curious."

"I searched online, but there is no relevant news. The filming was just completed last month, and it should be still in post-production."

"Why do you think it's a bit strange? This momentum... Just after the filming was completed last month, there was an affair with Xu Xian this month, and Xu Xian is famous for keeping himself clean. There has never been any rumors of a relationship before. Could it be... Is Lee Seung Woo using Seo Hyun for hype?"

"If you think about it carefully, it's really possible. Scumbag, how dare you take advantage of our youngest!"

……

The seeds of doubt, once germinated, thrive on a little wind and rain.But before this trend became more and more prosperous, Lee Seung Woo would become the target of verbal criticism again. SM, which has been paying attention to the public opinion situation, issued a statement immediately that afternoon.

The statement clarified that after confirming with Seo Hyun, it was confirmed that Seo Hyun and Lee Seung Woo are just friends.The reason why Seo Hyun met Lee Seung Woo that night was because Seo Hyun was one of the investors in Lee Seung Woo's film. That night, after the post-production of the film was completed, Lee Seung Woo invited Seo Hyun to watch the film in advance. With other people present, the relationship between Seo Hyun and Lee Seung Woo is not a love relationship as misunderstood by the media and netizens.

Once this statement was released, public opinion on the Internet has set off another upsurge.

"Seohyun is the investor of Lee Seung Woo's movie? I'll just say it. The young lady has always kept herself clean, how could she suddenly fall in love without even a hint of it."

"Hype! This is definitely hype! Even if Seo Hyun didn't fall in love with Lee Seung Woo, and suddenly had an affair, it is definitely cooperating with Lee Seung Woo's hype!"

"I also think it's hype, it's too obvious. SM is such a big company, Seo Hyun's scandal spread instantly, SM's public relations department is shit, even this little storm can't be suppressed in advance Come on? The reason why this scandal suddenly spread is that Xu Xian cooperated with Lee Seung Woo to hype, or the statement of SM company is to divert attention. Xu Xian is indeed in a relationship with Lee Seung Woo, the so-called investment is just an excuse, maybe Xu Xian is not an investor at all."

……

After the statement was released, some people were relieved, while others were skeptical. There were many discussions and controversies on the Internet.

But this was within SM's expectations, and even secretly guided and fueled the flames. After the statement was released, the scandal was allowed to 'naturally' ferment, and no further attention was paid to it.

After all, except for the real dementia, no one in this world is a real fool, maybe some people are slow to react, others can figure out things in a second, some people need half an hour or more, but always There will be a moment of awakening.So it is normal to be seen as hype, and there is no need to clarify or suppress it.It is a good thing to have controversy and doubts. Without controversy, there will be no enthusiasm. If there is no enthusiasm, how can you promote a movie?

And the facts are the same as what SM company judged, the more debates there are, the wider the publicity of Lee Seung Woo's movies. Many people who didn't pay attention to this matter, as the debate expanded, they also paid attention to Lee Seung Woo's movies one after another.

"When will Lee Seung Woo's movie be released? I'm getting more and more curious now. It doesn't matter if it's hype, or it's to divert attention. If it's hype, SM is willing to cooperate with Lee Seung Woo's hype, which means that this movie will not It's too disappointing. If it's a boy who diverts his attention and makes Xu Xian catch his eyes, he must also have his excellence."

"It's the same. I'm getting more and more curious now. This Li Chengyou can write and direct himself at a young age. The key is that he can still attract investment, which shows that he still has a certain talent."

"Looking forward to the movie's release as soon as possible, when the time comes, we will be able to see clearly."

……

There were heated discussions on the Internet, with praise and criticism, but through this hype, Lee Seung Woo's movie also took advantage of the scandal with Xu Xian and entered the public's field of vision.

SM Corporation, Aetna and Office.

An Taihe looked at Li Chengyou and said with a smile: "It's confirmed, it will be released on June 6th next month. I remember Chengyou's birthday is June 7th, so this is also a birthday present for Chengyou."

"Thank you Brother Taihe."

Li Chengyou smiled politely and thanked him politely.

An Taihe nodded, and said: "Although the number of screens we won this time is not many, only 300 yuan, but the schedule is still relatively good. There are no too competitive films before and after, so there are gains and losses. I hope Chengyou will not be too disappointed."

"will not."

Li Chengyou hurriedly smiled and said: "It's already beyond my expectation to win a screen worth 300 yuan. During this time, Brother Taihe has been busy, so please take your time."

South Korea is different from China. After all, the territory is too small and the number of movie theaters is limited, with only 3000 screens.It is also because of this that SM Company was able to secure 300 screens for him, which indeed exceeded Lee Seung Woo's expectations.After all, no matter what, he is just a little-known rookie director, and the first film was a small budget, and it was not a low starting point to be released on 300 screens.

What's more, the initial screening is only 300 screens. If the movie can become a hit, even if it is for its own benefit, the cinema will naturally increase the number of screens on its own initiative.

For example, the Japanese version of "Don't Stop the Camera" in the previous life was worse than him at the beginning of its release. It was only screened on a small scale in two theaters with a total of less than 72 seats. Gradually expanding the theater chain, the box office blowout broke out.

So it is.

Lee Seung Woo was really satisfied that he could win 300 screens for the initial screening, and he is also very satisfied with the cooperation with SM this time.

of course.

As the first film directed by a newcomer, there were 300 screens at the beginning of the screening, which is also related to the lack of competitive films in this schedule.

But this is normal.

If it is really a popular schedule, Lee Seung Woo's movie will not be available.
