Picking up the phone and taking a look, it turned out to be Xu Xian. Inexplicably, Li Chengyou suddenly felt guilty.

But the calls came through and he had to answer them. Li Chengyou took a breath and answered the phone.

"Hello, Xu Xianxi."

"Hello, senior." After hearing Li Chengyou's greeting, Xu Xian quickly responded.

Li Chengyou said: "Xu Xianxi called suddenly, what's the matter?"

"senior……"

Xu Xian hesitated to speak, remained slightly silent, and then said: "Senior, do you have time to come to our company?"

Li Chengyou: "..."

All right.

From Xu Xian's words, Li Chengyou knew that what happened last night must have been suppressed by S.M Company without asking any more questions.

And the result was not what he expected.

Without waiting for his answer, Xu Xian explained the reason.

After the paparazzi took a photo of him and Seohyun last night, they did not publish it in the newspaper. Instead, they notified S.M Company first. Since S.M Company knew about it, they would definitely ask Seohyun for questioning. And the company came over and was photographed again.

, Seohyun and Lee Seungwoo are not really in love, so naturally it is impossible and unnecessary to hide it.

So S.M Company found out about Seohyun's investment in Lee Seung Woo's movie.

Then...the interview came.

After hearing this, Li Chengyou was speechless, but just like Xu Xian, now that S.M Company knew about it, they came to visit again, so Li Chengyou had no choice but to go there.

After hanging up the phone, Li Chengyou rubbed his temples and thought quietly.

S.M Company definitely didn't call him over because he was bored. Li Chengyou thought about it and roughly guessed that there were two reasons: First, he suspected that he was in love with Xu Xian and warned him to stop pestering Xu Xian.

Stop playing tricks on Seohyun. Second, be interested in him, or rather, be interested in his movies.

Otherwise, apart from these two reasons, there is no need for S.M Company to see him at all.

As for the first type, Li Chengyou doesn't care. He has nothing to do with Seohyun in the first place. S.M Company's so-called warning can be ignored and there is no need to pay attention to it.

As for the second type?

If the conditions are right, it might be an opportunity.

As one of the most well-known entertainment agencies in South Korea, although S.M Company is deeply involved in the music field, its contacts in the film and television industry must be much wider than his. If S.M Company is willing to help him promote his movie and arrange for theatrical release, it will be comparable to

It would be much easier for him to find channels by himself. If S.M. Company's demands are too excessive, the worst case scenario would be to break up, and he would have nothing to lose.

It’s too bad that the movie can’t be released, so we can just sell the rights.

Taking a step back, he only paid for the script and time. The investment was all made by Xu Xian. If the theater chain cannot release it and directly sell the copyright, it is just a matter of making more or less.

Anyway, no matter how much he earns or how little he earns, he still earns something.

After making a clear calculation, Li Chengyou no longer had any worries. He packed up, changed his clothes, took a taxi and headed to S.M Company.

s.m company, manager's office.

After following the receptionist into the office, Li Chengyou looked at the middle-aged man with glasses sitting seriously behind his desk. He bowed slightly with respect and waited for the other person to speak.

After looking at Li Chengyou silently for a while, the man with glasses suddenly said: "Are you Li Chengyou?"

Li Chengyou nodded, appearing submissive, but secretly he rolled his eyes.

He actually wanted to complain about the other party. Can we get to the point directly and stop talking nonsense?

The man with glasses said: "My name is An Taihe. I am in charge of the company's film and television business. Please sit down."

Li Chengyou sat down opposite An Ran.

An Taihe said: "I heard from Xu Xian that you co-produced a movie?"

From this sentence, Li Chengyou confirmed his judgment that the other party was indeed interested in his movie.

Li Chengyou nodded, and An Taihe added: "I read the script you created from Xu Xian. It is very innovative and mature."

Li Chengyou said: "Thank you."

An Taihe said: "You must have guessed by now that our company is somewhat interested in your film. If you don't object, can you let us see the finished film?"

Li Chengyou did not hesitate and nodded again: "If Manager An has time, we can go to my studio now."

An Taihe looked at Li Chengyou, smiled softly for a while.

"Okay. Just wait a moment, I'll make arrangements for the work, and we'll be there right away."

As expected but beyond Li Chengyou's expectation, S.M. Company was indeed interested in his movie, which was not beyond his judgment. But this meeting was beyond Li Chengyou's expectation. From the moment he entered to the end of the conversation

, it didn’t last more than five minutes, except for mentioning Seohyun because of the movie, Ahn Tae-hwa didn’t even mention the paparazzi filming last night.

This guy... is very good.

It seems that he knew that Xu Xian had no influence on him, so he avoided the topic directly.

And the facts are indeed very similar to Li Chengyou’s speculation.

In fact, before inviting Li Chengyou, An Taihe had already made up his mind to put pressure on Li Chengyou and try his best to take the initiative to facilitate subsequent negotiations. Therefore, from the time Li Chengyou came to S.M Company until he entered the office, An Taihe's posture was always arrogant.

Very high.

But after actually meeting Li Chengyou and observing briefly, An Taihe changed his mind.

the reason is simple.

From the moment he entered the office and saw him, Li Chengyou's behavior was completely free of the arrogance and impatience of young people. On the surface, he seemed respectful, but in fact he was unrestrained. He faced him calmly and didn't care at all about his status and identity.

This made An Taihe understand instantly.

Li Chengyou is not as immature as his apparent age, on the contrary, his character is very mature.

That's why.

Since it is impossible to put pressure on Li Chengyou psychologically, talking more useless nonsense is just a waste of time. It is better to go straight to the topic to avoid wasting words and making Li Chengyou disgusted.

Ten minutes later.

Lee Seung-woo and Ahn Tae-hwa took a car to the studio he rented for filming the movie. After an hour and a half, they watched the finished film. Without any unnecessary nonsense, the two parties quickly confirmed the cooperative relationship. ——S.M Company will be responsible for the promotion and distribution of the film.

, the specific agency fees will be discussed later.

Once cooperation is established, the atmosphere becomes more harmonious.

An Taihe looked at Li Chengyou and smiled: "Chengyou, are you interested in signing a contract with our company? Don't worry, the conditions will definitely satisfy you."

Li Chengyou smiled euphemistically and said politely: "Brother Taihe, thank you for the invitation. Unfortunately, I am used to being free and loose. However, if your company is interested in it in the future, we will still have many opportunities to cooperate."

An Taihe was speechless when he heard this, smiled to himself, and stopped forcing himself.

Seohyun is the reason why we can cooperate with Lee Seungwoo this time. But more importantly, after reading the script written by Lee Seungwoo and confirming through communication with Seohyun, s.m company sees a certain potential in Lee Seungwoo. After reading it,

After the film was completed, Ahn Tae-hwa confirmed Lee Seung-woo's directorial talent.

S.M Company has been working hard to enter the film and television industry, so when well-known directors almost have fixed cooperative companies, forming a good relationship with new directors with potential and ability is a necessary step.

This is how Li Chengyou came into the sight of S.M Company.

It would be better if we can sign Lee Seung Woo. If we can't sign him, we must first lay a good emotional foundation to pave the way for future cooperation.

Anyway, it’s just a piece of cake for S.M. Even if Lee Seung Woo’s movie is released, it will have no impact on the company.

What's more, after watching Lee Seung-woo's movie, Ahn Tae-hwa didn't think this movie would be a hit. After all, Ahn Tae-hwa also learned through Seohyun that the production cost of Lee Seung-woo's entire movie would not exceed 150 million won, so

With low production costs, no matter how hard you try, the movie will go anywhere.

On the contrary, Lee Seung-woo was able to produce a good-looking movie at such a low cost, which made Ahn Tae-hwa appreciate Lee Seung-woo's directing ability even more.

The cooperation was confirmed and both parties said goodbye amicably.

After seeing An Taihe off, before getting into the elevator, An Taihe suddenly turned his head and asked seemingly casually——
Chapter completed!
