"Brother, your popularity is getting bigger and bigger now."

In the rental house, Cui Xianzhen said to Li Chengyou excitedly while reading the news on the Internet.

Li Chengyou shrugged and said amusingly: "Famousness is of no use. I am a director, not an artist. No matter how famous I am, can I still accept advertisements?"

Cui Xianzhen was startled: "Uh, that's right."

It doesn’t mean that directors can’t accept endorsements or advertisements, but doing so will inevitably lead to a loss of status and a lower standard. Besides, with Lee Seung-woo’s current popularity, even if someone invites him to accept advertisements, what level will it be?

It is understandable that the advertising fee is not embarrassing enough.

Skipping this topic and seeming to think of something, Cui Xianzhen said excitedly: "Brother, the number of movie viewers has exceeded 1 million now, and it has only been released for two weeks. Do you think our movie's box office can break through when the movie is released?

2 million to 3 million? If it can exceed 3 million, let me calculate, then brother, you can make money from this movie..."

"Okay, okay, don't be obscene."

Li Chengyou couldn't laugh or cry, interrupted Cui Xianzhen, shook his head and said: "We have just taken the first step in the long march of thousands of miles, where are we now? Judging from the current box office trend, it is still possible to exceed 2 million moviegoers, but

3 million is a bit high, and there is a high probability that it won’t be reached. Moreover, just making such a small amount of money will barely be enough to start the next movie. Look at your achievements, can you be more generous?"

"Don't Stop the Camera" has been released for nearly half a month. Generally, the screening period of a movie is only one month, and there is still about half a month of screening time left. Even after negotiating with the theater chain, the theater chain agreed to extend the screening time.

, but the limit is just another half month. After all, July is the summer season in South Korea. There will be several blockbusters released one after another, and theaters will definitely have to free up screens for these blockbusters.

In addition, "Don't Stop" is not the kind of movie that is accumulated over time. Most viewers who have watched it once will not watch it a second time. Once the initial novelty wears off, the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie will quickly decline.

The single-day box office will collapse like an avalanche. The later the period, the more sluggish the box office will be, and the less likely the theater chain will extend the screening time.

That's why.

Lee Seung-woo has actually estimated that the box office of 2 million moviegoers will most likely exceed 2 million, but 3 million is basically impossible.

After exceeding 2 million viewers, it has almost reached the limit of "Don't Stop the Camera".

But even so, Li Chengyou is already very satisfied.

The first movie can reach 2 million viewers at the box office, which is undoubtedly a high starting point. As long as he spreads the word about making a second movie, as long as the script is not too bad, there will definitely be people waving checks.

This way, at least he no longer has to worry about fooling some fool like he did when filming his first movie.

Thinking of the big fool, Xu Xian's figure flashed subconsciously in Li Chengyou's mind. It was a coincidence. He said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao had arrived. Just as he thought of Xu Xian, a call suddenly came in. He picked up the phone and saw that it happened to be Xu Xian.

This is really... Li Chengyou couldn't help but laugh.

After answering the phone and saying hello, Xu Xian's voice came from the other side: "Senior, are you free these two days?"

Li Chengyou said: "Is something wrong?"

Xu Xiandao: "Senior, have you seen today's box office statistics?"

Li Chengyou responded.

Xu Xiandao: "Senior, our movie has exceeded 1 million viewers. I think it is worth celebrating. If you have time in the past two days, I would like to treat you to a meal. I would also like to thank you for giving me the opportunity.

Invite me to participate in investment.”

Li Chengyou paused and said with a smile: "When you were willing to invest, it was a matter of mutual benefit for both of us, so there is no need to thank you. If I really want to thank you, it should be me thanking you. After all, if I don't have your

Trust me, without your investment, this movie might have been delayed for a few more months. So there is no need to say thank you. If you really care about cause and effect, as I just said, I should thank you more."

Xu Xian was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, then I won't be polite to seniors. Do you have time these two days, seniors? The box office exceeding 1 million is also something worth celebrating. As an investor, 5,000

The investment of 10,000 won has yielded a return of more than ten times. No matter from any aspect, I really should treat my senior to a meal and express my gratitude. By the way, several members of our group also want to get to know my senior.

If seniors don’t mind, I will introduce them to them then.”

Other members of SNSD?

Hearing these words, Li Chengyou couldn't help being slightly startled, but then he smiled and said: "Normally, I don't have anything else to do these two days, so it's okay for everyone to get together, not to mention getting to know other Girls' Generation seniors. But

, let’s postpone it for some time. After the movie is officially finished, let’s set a time to get together. Do you think this is okay?” For fear of Xu Xian misunderstanding, Li Chengyou explained, “It’s not that I deliberately shied away, but at the moment

The movie is in theaters, and if we are photographed meeting each other at this time, the scandal will have a bad impact on you, and it may also affect the subsequent box office."

Smiling, Li Chengyou added: "Besides, after the movie is finished, the crew will definitely hold a celebration banquet. When the time comes, we can hold it together and the scene will be lively. What do you think?"

There is a saying that today is different from the past.

Before the movie was released, there were rumors of a scandal with Seohyun. The popularity of Seohyun and Girls' Generation could be used to promote the movie. But now that the movie has been released, if he meets Seohyun and is photographed again, the scandal will spread again.

It is very likely that things will turn into the opposite, which will cause the rebellious psychology of fans of Seohyun and SNSD. Audiences who originally wanted to go to the cinema to watch the movie have given up their interest.

As a saying often circulated in the entertainment industry, scandal is a double-edged sword. If it is not controlled properly, it will hurt yourself after hurting others.

certainly.

This is just a possibility, not absolute.

It doesn’t necessarily mean that having a meal with Seohyun and the members of SNSD will definitely lead to being photographed by reporters, nor does it mean that if they are photographed, it will definitely be posted on the Internet and cause scandals, but as long as there is such a possibility, Lee Seungwoo still wants to

Try to avoid it as much as possible, and don't want to cause unnecessary problems.

After all, with the current box office situation being very good, every audience who enters the cinema to watch a movie is putting a piece of money into Lee Seung Woo's pocket. Gold coins are coming in every day. In Lee Seung Woo's view, it is comparable to Seohyun.

There are also SNSD members who are much cuter and more attractive when eating a meal.

In the final analysis.
