let go of that director

Chapter 35 TV drama?
Li Chengyou's eyes flickered slightly, the corner of his mouth was smiling, and various thoughts quickly turned in his mind.

He's not stupid. Although An Taihe's question is tactful, it is equivalent to a clear statement. Of course Li Chengyou understands what An Taihe means.

But to be honest, Lee Seung Woo actually doesn't intend to continue to cooperate with SM Company in his heart.

The reason is also very simple.

In the final analysis, SM Company is just an entertainment brokerage company with great influence in the music industry, but it is also a younger brother in the film and television industry.

Compared with him, SM company naturally has a wide network of contacts, but this is compared with him before.

Before "The Camera Don't Stop" was released, he was penniless, had no background or connections, and it was a problem to find a publicity company to distribute the film.That's why, when Seo Hyun approached him and said that SM Entertainment wanted to take over the distribution, he agreed without much hesitation.

But the relationship between the two is just a cooperative relationship, not to mention any friendship, let alone how much kindness SM has towards him.

You must know that the condition for SM Company to take over the distribution is to charge 12% of the net box office revenue as the publicity fee, which is much higher than the 5%~8% of the market. If the company is issued, the probability is not much lower.But if you say how much kindness SM has to him, it is also a bit ridiculous.

To put it bluntly, the two are just a cooperation of interests, and it is a business.

Since it is a business, SM company naturally has to consider maximizing profits, and for future cooperation, he naturally does the same.

Still the same sentence, SM's network in the film and television industry can only be regarded as a younger brother, and it doesn't have much energy at all. If it continues to cooperate with SM in the future, even if SM minimizes the agency fee, it will also help in arranging films for theaters. It doesn't matter how busy he is.Even because SM wanted to expand its influence in the film and television industry, he might be implicated and suppressed as well.

This is a very simple truth.

Just like SM has strong strength in the music industry, if other companies want to enter the music industry and seize the market with SM, SM will definitely not back down and be soft-hearted.And SM company wants to cross borders into the film and television industry to expand its influence, how could those bigwigs in the film and television industry give SM company a chance.

It is also because of these considerations that it is okay to cooperate with SM company occasionally, but binding them together is purely asking for trouble.

What's more, since "Don't Stop the Camera" became popular, especially when the box office exceeded 100 million viewers in the second week of its release, his popularity has already opened up. During this time, many film and television companies and distribution companies approached him, wanting to invite He has signed contracts or cooperated with them, and many of them are big names in the film and television industry such as CJ, Megabox and Showbox.

It can be said that he now has more room for choice and more opportunities to choose, and there is no need to stay on the ship of SM company any longer.

He and SM Company are only cooperating for the benefit, there is help for him, he does not deny it, but it is unnecessary to be tied together.

These flashed through his mind quickly, and the smile on Li Chengyou's face remained unchanged. He looked at An Taihe, pondered a little, shook his head and smiled and said, "Brother Taihe, you know that I will graduate soon in half a year, so the next paragraph I am ready to take a good rest, go back to school to enrich myself, and think about the next movie after graduation.”

Li Chengyou didn't directly refuse. Youdao just sees through and doesn't tell the truth. An Taihe has the same consideration if he doesn't say it clearly. If he tells the truth, it will not only appear to have no EQ, but also embarrass An Taihe, offend the other party for no reason, and make revenge on himself .

An Taihe's eyes moved slightly, he smiled softly, his expression was as usual.

It has to be said that Li Chengyou found this excuse very well, even if he heard Li Chengyou's tactful rejection, he couldn't get angry, let alone have any reason to be angry.

of course.

There is no need to be angry.

In fact, after Li Chengyou refused to invite Li Chengyou to sign the contract for the first time, or realized that Li Chengyou wanted to use Xu Xian to hype, An Taihe knew that this young man had a maturity different from his age.

It is also because of this reason that An Taihe actually knew that Lee Seung Woo would not tie himself to SM Company.

As the manager of the SM company's film and television department, who knows more about SM's plight in the film and television industry than he does? Which is not a mix.But for a new director like Lee Seung Woo who is young, capable and motivated, he will naturally not jump into the fish pond of SM company and isolate himself from the ocean.

and so.

From the very beginning, An Taihe did not expect Lee Seung Woo to sign a contract with SM Company, or to be tied to SM Company.

With a soft smile, An Taihe echoed, "That's right, after being busy for the past few months, it is indeed time to take a rest and relax." After a slight pause, An Taihe's voice suddenly changed, and he said with a chuckle, "However, return to study. Study, but also combine theory with practice. I know Chengyou's ability, Chengyou, you will not hone your sword for three years like other directors, and then become a blockbuster."

Most Korean directors write and direct themselves, let alone those who are not capable, and those who are capable mostly polish the script and only shoot a movie in two or three years.

of course.

Not always, but mostly.

An Taihe has been in contact with Li Chengyou for more than a month, and through Xu Xian's understanding and some private investigations, he has a certain understanding of Li Chengyou.

He knew that this young man was very ambitious, and he was unwilling to be mediocre. He said it was a rest, but there was a high probability that he had already started preparing for the next movie.

An Taihe doesn't expect Lee Seung-woo's next film to be handed over to SM as an agent, but he hopes to lay an ambush with Lee Seung-woo first, if he can invest, he will participate in the investment, if he can't invest, he must have a good relationship, at least he can maintain Lee Seung-woo's status channel, to open up another director network for the actors under the company.

Of course, this also has a premise.

The premise is that Lee Seung Woo's next film, at least the script, must be good enough to be worth investing in and participating in.

As soon as An Taihe's voice fell, Li Chengyou understood An Taihe's meaning in seconds, smiled dumbly, and pondered for a while, Li Chengyou nodded and said: "Brother Taihe, don't worry, we have such a pleasant cooperation this time, and I will be very happy when the conditions are right next time." I am willing to cooperate with Brother Taihe again." Smiling, he continued, "It cannot be said that there is no idea for a new movie, but if we really want to start preparations, we will have to wait until next year at least."

Smiling softly again, Li Chengyou said pointedly: "I need funds even if I want to prepare a movie. If I don't get the box office distribution, even if I have an idea, a smart woman can't live without rice."

An Taihe was startled, then smiled.

Boy, this is a roundabout hint that I have to check out as soon as the movie is released.

Shaking his head and smiling, An Taihe was about to appease Li Chengyou, when the words came to his lips, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared, as if he had thought of something.

Looking at Li Chengyou, An Taihe suddenly smiled and asked, "Chengyou, do you have any thoughts on TV dramas?"
