Chapter 20 Hype
In the next half month, Li Chengyou began busy editing and production of the film.
As a film director, you must know how to edit, otherwise you will not be able to make a good movie. Therefore, in his previous life, Lee Seung-woo worked hard on editing. He consulted and learned from some well-known editors in the industry. Later, he made his own movies and even experienced practical operations.
experience.
In addition, Li Chengyou had the complete film in his mind as a reference. Before the film officially started shooting, he had clear ideas about the structure, graphics, music and other aspects of the entire film. He found the editing points and added "
The movie "Don't Stop the Camera" also had no special effects, so it only took half a month for Lee Seung-woo to complete the post-production of the entire movie.
After the film's post-production was completed, Lee Seung-woo called Seohyun and invited Seohyun to come over and watch the film.
When he received the call, Xu Xian was surprised: "So soon?"
Li Chengyou smiled and said: "It's not a blockbuster, and it doesn't require special effects. How long can it take?"
"Okay. I don't have time during the day. I'll go there at night."
"Okay. See you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Li Chengyou turned around and called Cui Xianzhen: "Tell the paparazzi that Seohyun of Girls' Generation is going to meet her boyfriend tonight. Remember, be careful and don't expose yourself."
"...Well, brother, I will be careful."
The plan to use Seohyun to promote it was already planned. Cui Xianzhen also learned the details and started preparations beforehand.
As for whether it is unethical to do so?
no doubt!
It's definitely immoral.
But Lee Seung-woo can't help it. He is a little-known newcomer. If he doesn't use all available conditions to promote the movie, even if the movie is filmed, there will be a problem as to when it will be released.
In the final analysis, he is just a student with no connections. Just distributing the movie will be a problem.
That's why.
Although I feel sorry for Xu Xian, Li Chengyou still decided to be selfish.
Anyway, it was just a temporary hype without any substantial evidence. Even if it had a certain impact on Xu Xian, once the statement is clarified, the scandal will disappear soon and it will not cause much damage.
When he can establish a foothold in the film industry in the future, he will naturally repay Xu Xian twice as much.
night.
After receiving the call that Seohyun arrived, Lee Seungwoo went downstairs to greet him at the studio, and deliberately found a good angle so that the hidden paparazzi could clearly take pictures of the two of them.
Xu Xian had no idea about this and had no precautions.
Screening room upstairs.
An hour and a half later, after watching the entire film, Seohyun looked at Li Chengyou and couldn't help but admire him.
"To be honest, I really didn't expect that in just two months, my senior would be able to complete the production of an excellent movie. I underestimated my senior's ability before. I hereby sincerely apologize to my senior, and please also
You can forgive me."
Li Chengyou shook his head and said with a smile: "Without your financial investment, no matter how capable I am, there is nothing I can do. I should be the one thanking you."
"Senior, you're welcome."
Xu Xian said hurriedly: "I just made investments and didn't do anything else. Senior is..."
"OK OK."
Li Chengyou waved his hand, chuckled and shook his head: "Let's stop being so polite. If you have no other opinions about the film, the next step is for me to find a distribution company and start preparations for the release."
"I don't have any objections. If there's anything I can do to help, senior, please feel free to tell me."
When Li Chengyou heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, but he only hesitated slightly and changed the topic with a smile.
He had actually thought about it before, if he discussed it with Xu Xian, whether Xu Xian might be willing to cooperate with him in promoting it.
But after careful consideration, Li Chengyou gave up the idea.
Again, let’s not talk about whether Seohyun can agree or not. Even if Seohyun agrees, he still won’t be able to pass the test of S.M. What’s more, once a scandal breaks out, whether it’s true or not, it will have a certain impact on Seohyun’s image.
For him, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, but for Xu Xian, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. Anyone with a brain knows how to choose.
There is no need for Xu Xian to take risks just because of an investment of 50 million.
so.
Li Chengyou decided to be dark again.
After watching the video, in order to allow the paparazzi to obtain more material, Li Chengyou invited Xu Xian to have dinner with him.
pity.
Was rejected by Xu Xian.
In mid-April, SNSD's sub-unit "taetiseo" was established. Seohyun has been busy with unit activities during this period. Even if he comes here tonight, he still makes time. After watching the movie, he will rush back immediately.
That's why.
Although he was sorry, Xu Xian could only refuse politely.
Regarding this.
Li Chengyou couldn't say anything and could only send Xu Xian away.
But Li Chengyou didn’t have many regrets.
As long as Xu Xian comes over tonight, as long as the paparazzi can take photos of the two meeting, then his goal has been achieved. Although there is a little less material for the paparazzi, it doesn't hurt.
Anyway, as long as there are topics about him and Seohyun on the Internet tomorrow, he can use the popularity of Seohyun and Girls' Generation to tie the movie to SNSD, which will not only achieve publicity, but also help to find a distribution company in the future.
So after sending Xu Xian away, Li Chengyou began to wait quietly for the scandal to break out tomorrow.
The next morning.
Li Chengyou turned on his computer early in the morning and started searching on the Internet.
But the result...
grass!
How not!?
Li Chengyou was depressed.
What the hell, he planned everything carefully last night, but why didn’t he even get a single spark today?
After waiting until noon, there was still no news. Li Chengyou picked up his cell phone and called Cui Xianzhen.
"Xianzhen, did you reveal it to the paparazzi yesterday?"
"Brother, I revealed it."
"Then why is there no movement at all today?"
Cui Xianzhen was also confused. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: "Brother, do you think Xu Xian discovered the paparazzi yesterday and got rid of them? Or..."
"Or what?"
"The paparazzi took the photo, but notified S.M. Company first, and then the news was suppressed by S.M. Company."
Li Chengyou: "..."
Your sister!
Can you still play like this?
If this is the case, then Korean paparazzi are too unprofessional? You are paparazzi, can you have some professionalism?
Li Chengyou was speechless.
After thinking for a while, Li Chengyou said: "Xianzhen, you didn't expose yourself when you revealed it to the paparazzi yesterday, right?"
"No, brother. You always told me to be careful, and I am very cautious in doing things."
"Okay. That's it for now. Other things... wait until I think about it."
hang up the phone.
Li Chengyou rubbed his eyebrows, feeling depressed.
The paparazzi industry in South Korea seems to be different from that in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Li Chengyou didn't notice this at first, and Cui Xianzhen didn't remind him. It was inevitable that there would be omissions when doing things.
The hype thing is a little bit up in the air right now, so it seems like we have to think of other options.
