Chapter 23 Determining the schedule
"Li Chengyou wrote and directed a movie, and the filming has been completed?"
I don’t know where the news came from, but there are rumors that it came from internal students at Dongguk University. Lee Seung-woo is a famous talent at Dongguk University. He just graduated from his junior year and wrote a script when he was a senior. He also attracted investment.
, just completed filming last month.
As soon as this news was exposed on the Internet, it immediately aroused heated discussions.
"So awesome? What a talent! No wonder Xu Xian fell in love with him!"
"A person born in 1990, who is just in his senior year of college and has not even graduated yet, can write and direct his own films at the age of 23? Well, this is another kid from someone else's family."
"I can finally feel relieved. I am young, handsome, and talented. I am barely worthy of our maknae."
"Does anyone know when Lee Seung-woo's movie will be released? I'm suddenly curious."
"I searched online and found no relevant news. The filming was just completed last month and it should be in post-production now."
"Why do I feel a little strange, this momentum... The filming of the movie was just completed last month, and this month there were rumors of an affair with Seohyun, and Seohyun is famous for being a clean person, and there has never been any romance rumors before, could it be...
Is Lee Seung-woo using Seohyun for hype?"
"If you think about it carefully, it's really possible. You scumbag, how dare you take advantage of our maknae!"
…
Once the seeds of doubt germinate, they will thrive with a little wind and rain. But before this trend becomes more and more prosperous, Lee Seung-woo will once again become the target of verbal criticism. S.M Company, which has been paying attention to the public opinion situation, immediately
issued a statement.
The statement clarified that after confirming with Seohyun, it was confirmed that Seohyun and Lee Seungwoo are just friends. The reason Seohyun met with Lee Seungwoo that night was because Seohyun was one of the investors in Lee Seungwoo's movie, and that night was after the film's post-production was completed.
, Lee Seung-woo invited Seohyun to watch the movie in advance, and besides Seohyun and Lee Seung-woo, there were other people present. The relationship between Seohyun and Lee Seung-woo was not a romantic relationship as misunderstood by the media and netizens.
As soon as this statement was released, public opinion on the Internet aroused another upsurge.
"Is Seohyun an investor in Lee Seung Woo's movies? That's what I'm saying. The maknae has always kept a clean mind. How could he suddenly start falling in love without even a hint of it?"
"Hype! This is definitely hype! Even if Seohyun is not in love with Lee Seung Woo, and suddenly there is a scandal, it is definitely cooperating with Lee Seung Woo's hype!"
"I also think it's hype. It's too obvious. For a company as big as s.m, Seohyun's scandal spread immediately. The public relations department of s.m is such a sucker. They can't even suppress this controversy in advance.
Come down? The reason why this scandal suddenly spread is that either Seohyun is cooperating with Lee Seungwoo in the hype, or the statement from S.M. Company is a diversion. Seohyun is indeed in love with Lee Seungwoo, and 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, others were skeptical, and there were a lot of online discussions and controversies.
But this was within the expectations of S.M Company, and it even secretly guided and fueled the flames. After the statement was released, the scandal was allowed to ferment 'naturally' without paying any more attention to it.
After all, except for real dementia, no one in this world is a real fool. Maybe some people are slow to react and others can figure things out in one second. Some people need half an hour or more, but it always takes
There will be a moment of awakening. So it is normal for people to see hype, and there is no need to clarify or suppress it. It is a good thing to have controversy and doubt. Without controversy, there will be no popularity. How can you promote a movie without popularity?
And the fact is the same as what S.M Company judged. The more the debate, the wider the publicity of Lee Seung-woo's movie. Many people who did not pay attention to this matter at first started to pay attention to Lee Seung-woo's movie as the controversy expanded.
"When will Lee Seung-woo's movie be released? I'm becoming more and more curious now. Don't worry whether it's a hype or to divert attention. If it's a hype, S.M. Company is actually willing to cooperate with Lee Seung-woo's hype, which shows that this movie will not
It’s so disappointing. If you divert your attention, the boy who can catch Seohyun’s eyes must also have his own merits.”
"It's the same. I'm becoming more and more curious now. This Li Chengyou can write and direct at a young age. The key is that he can also attract investment, which shows that he still has a certain talent."
"I look forward to the movie being released as soon as possible. Then we will know clearly what the quality is."
…
There are a lot of hot discussions on the Internet, with both praise and criticism, but through this hype, Lee Seung-woo's movie has also entered the public's field of vision with the help of his scandal with Seohyun.
s.m company, antai and office.
An Taihe looked at Li Chengyou and smiled: "It's confirmed, it will be released on June 7th next month. I remember Chengyou's birthday is June 6th, so this can be considered a birthday gift to Chengyou."
"Thank you, Brother Taihe."
Li Chengyou smiled politely and thanked him politely.
An Taihe nodded and added: "Although the number of screens we are fighting for this time is not large, only 300 yuan, the schedule is still relatively good. There are not too competitive films before and after, so there are gains and losses. This is still
I hope Chengyou won’t be too disappointed.”
"Won't."
Li Chengyou smiled hurriedly and said: "Being able to win a screen worth 300 yuan has exceeded my expectations. Brother Taihe has been very busy during this period, so I'd like to thank you for your trouble."
South Korea is different from China. After all, the area is too small, and the number of cinemas is limited, with only 3,000 screens. Therefore, S.M. Company was able to obtain 300 screens for him, which indeed exceeded Li Chengyou's expectations. After all, he is just a nameless person.
It is said that this is the first film of a new director, and it is a low-budget one. Being able to show it on 300 screens is already a pretty good starting point.
What's more, there are only 300 screens for the initial screening. If the movie becomes a hit, cinemas will naturally take the initiative to increase the number of screens, even if it is for their own benefit.
For example, the previous Japanese version of "Don't Stop the Camera" was even worse when it was first released. It was only shown on a small scale in two theaters with a combined capacity of less than 200 seats. It was not until it subsequently set a record of 72 consecutive full-house performances that it was released.
Gradually expanding the theater chain, the box office exploded.
That's why.
The initial screening was able to secure 300 screens. Lee Seung-woo is really satisfied and very satisfied with this cooperation with S.M Company.
certainly.
As the first film directed by a newcomer, it was able to hit 300 screens at the beginning of the screening. This is also related to the fact that there are really no very competitive films in this schedule.
But this is normal.
