let go of that director

Chapter 28 Word of Mouth Fermentation
"Maknae, the movie you invested in is called... "The Camera Don't Stop", right? I remember it was released today, right?"

MBC TV station, music center program waiting room, Tiffany, who was looking at her mobile phone, seemed to think of something suddenly, put down her mobile phone, and turned to look at Xu Xian.

Xu Xiandao: "Yes, Panioni."

Tiffany smiled and said, "Then after the recording of today's program is over, let's go to the movie theater to see it together, which will also increase the box office for you." Then, she turned her head to look at Kim Taeyeon again, "Taeyeon will also go there at night, Support the maknae."

Kim Taeyeon hesitated and nodded.

Xu Xiandao: "Thank you Panioni and Taeyeoni."

Tiffany smiled and said, "It's the first time we invest in a film, as Ernie, we have to support it. But seriously, let's tell Ernie first, haven't you already seen the finished film? How is it? If you use your standard, how much would you score out of [-]?"

Kim Taeyeon also looked at Xu Xian when she heard the words, and she couldn't help but feel a little curious in her heart.

Xu Xian thought about it and said, "Eight points."

"Eight points?"

Tiffany was a little surprised. She knew that the maknae had always had high standards, but she didn't expect to give such a high score.

But after thinking about it again, I understand a little bit.

Don't look at the old-fashioned personality of the maknae, but he is actually very shrewd. If he hadn't been optimistic about the script at the beginning, he would not have made bold investments.You must know that investing in movies has high returns, but it is also very risky. If the vision is not good, it is very common for the investment money to be wasted.

Of course, this is also related to the low investment amount.

After all, the investment of 5000 million won is really not a big amount for a movie. Compared with the possible benefits, this risk is still acceptable.

But despite this, Tiffany was still full of curiosity, and couldn't help looking forward to the trip to the cinema at night.

at the same time.

After walking out of the cinema, Li Chengyou's cell phone rang again.

When I took it out, it turned out to be Lin Zhiyan.

When the phone was connected, Lin Zhiyan's voice sounded: "Guess where I am now?"

Li Chengyou was startled when he heard the words, and subconsciously turned his head to look around, thinking that Lin Zhiyan was nearby.

But after looking again and again, this girl is not there either.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Movie theater?"

The movie is released today, and Lin Zhiyan is one of the leading actors. It is the first time in her life to be a movie heroine. Lin Zhiyan should not miss the most important day in her life.

really.

Lin Zhiyan said: "Then guess how many people watched the scene I just watched."

Don't guess, the numbers won't be too good for sure.

Li Chengyou said: "If there are more, twenty or thirty, if less, just a few."

"Uh, your guess is really accurate." Lin Zhiyan couldn't help being startled.

Li Chengyou said with a smile: "An unknown director and a group of unknown actors, even if they made a lot of hype last month, can attract some curious audiences to enter the arena, but after all, the popularity is there, so you don't need to guess, and you know how to enter the arena There are not many of them."

Lin Zhiyan said: "Why don't you sound worried at all?"

Lee Seung Woo smiled and said, "Should I be worried?"

Lin Zhiyan said: "Shouldn't you be worried? With such a small number of moviegoers, you don't have any expectations for the box office, do you?"

Li Chengyou said with a smile: "I still have expectations, I just have been mentally prepared. Since I have predicted that the box office will not be too good a few days ago, do you think I still need to worry? Even if I really have to worry, at least We have to wait a week later. If the number of attendance is not satisfactory after a week, it will be a real rush."

"Your heart...is really big."

Lin Zhiyan smiled, and said again: "But I think our movie should be considered a success. After watching the movie just now, I heard many comments from the audience, and most of them were full of praise for the movie. After word of mouth fermented , the attendance rate will at least be several times higher than it is now."

Li Chengyou said with a smile: "If you say that, then I have to congratulate you in advance, Lin Zhiyanxi."

"To each other." Lin Zhiyan couldn't help but also smiled.

Although Lin Zhiyan can't predict the final box office of the movie, but through the audience's reaction and her own viewing experience, Lin Zhiyan at least knows a little bit. ——Even if the final box office of "Don't Stop the Camera" is not too high, at least there should be no problem in recovering the cost, and not only is it not a bad movie, but the audience's word of mouth tends to be appreciated.

In this way, even if she can't become popular through this movie, but with the qualifications of starring in this movie, she will have an impressive resume in auditioning other crews in the future.

Most importantly, she proved her vision.

After watching this movie, Lim Ji Yeon was once again convinced of Lee Seung Woo's talent.And with Lee Seung Woo's ability, now that this step has been firmly established, after gaining fame, will he still worry that he will not have the opportunity to direct other films in the future?At that time, based on the relationship between her and Lee Seung-woo, even if she can't be the heroine again, it shouldn't be too difficult to enter the film circle with Lee Seung-woo's help.

unless……

Lin Zhiyan suddenly asked: "Where are you now?"

Li Chengyou said: "Is there something wrong?"

Lin Zhiyan said: "I'm very excited now, I want to see you right away."

Li Chengyou... understood in seconds.

……

It was beyond Lee Seung Woo's expectations, or in other words, he underestimated Girls' Generation's popularity in Korea and SM's ability to hype.Originally, he estimated that if the viewing experience is not bad, it will take at least three or four days for word-of-mouth to ferment, and the box office will have a higher increase after a week.

But what he didn't expect was that after surveying and getting positive feedback from the audience, SM immediately started promoting it.

The focus of the publicity is not the movie itself, but the scandal between him and Xu Xian.

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet for a while.

"Have you seen the movie of Xu Xian's rumored boyfriend? I highly recommend it. The director's brain is blown, and the design is really ingenious."

"Xu Xian's rumored boyfriend? I remember that it has been clarified. By the way, his movie is released?"

"It was just released today, and I went to the theater to see it out of curiosity. Four words, it was a worthwhile trip. The director is really talented. I heard that he is only 23 years old this year (false age), and he is only a senior student at the moment. So young He is so talented, no wonder Xu Xian has his eyes on him. He is already so talented at such a young age, and he will definitely become a well-known director of the new generation in the future."

"Hahaha, I've watched it too. I laughed so hard I couldn't find my teeth. It's really interesting. I was drowsy and cursed at the bad movie half an hour ago, but I insisted on watching it. It's so classic. Extreme. The director is really talented, I am really convinced. I strongly recommend everyone to watch it."

"Is it really so interesting, blowing so hard?"

"Is it blowing that you will know when you go to the cinema. Friendly reminder, how depressed you are in the first half hour, how pleasant you will be in the second half hour. Now I dare to conclude that this movie will definitely be one of the best movies of the year. one."

"Is it so interesting? I'm curious. I'll go to the cinema to see it after get off work."

"Go with me. I was also aroused curiosity."

"Together +1. I will also go to observe and observe."

"Together +2."

"Together +3."

……

"Together + N."
