Li Zhong turned off the computer, walked to the underground parking lot, and after getting in the car, he still couldn't believe that a joke movie he had invested in had become a box office dark horse, and it was so dark that all the film critics were numb, so black that the investors were numb, the distributors were numb, and even the main creators were numb in the past month or so

Li Chong took out the phone, and regardless of the fact that it was midnight American time, he called Wright directly.

"Oh God! Steven, you actually remember to call me" As soon as the phone rang, Li Chong heard a noisy voice, probably on a certain pie

"Find a cleaner place, I'll ask you something." Li Zhong said.

"Okay, okay, wait a minute, midnight in Los Angeles is crazy, I know how you called me" Wright must have walked out of Paiduì's location, and the voice came from the phone extremely clear.

"What's going on with The Hangover? Daddy Larry called me today," Li Zhong asked.

"I called you, but you didn't answer and sent me a text message," Wright sat on the doorstep with his hands on the wall.

"Eh" Li Chong seemed to have a little impression, at that time he was busy directing and didn't answer the phone, and took the time to reply with a "Busy, later!" "And then there was no then, all the way up to now.

"What are you going to sue that day?" Li Zhong asked again.

"The Hangover is set, ask if you have time to come to the premiere, after all, it's a movie to commemorate us, but I forgot to call you again later" Actually, Wright didn't go on the day of the premiere, he fooled around with his second model girlfriend

"And what does Daddy Larry mean by that?" Li Chong felt a headache.

"It's not that the movie was a box office hit after its release, which shocked everyone's attention, so some people wanted to make a bad idea, but they investigated carefully and found that Time Warner didn't even have a little investment, they just helped provide staff, and even the contract was signed with us, they couldn't say anything" Wright beckoned to the waiter in the distance, took a glass of red wine, and then said disdainfully.

"The Hangover" won $43.28 million at the box office in the first week, shocking the jaws of a number of Hollywood film critics, and of course it also made Time Warner's senior management ecstatic, how intoxicating it is to have such a low-budget movie dark horse after the economic crisis, they have planned to shoot a series of second, third, and fourth parts are still the original cast, and the original director is a comedy film director signed by Time Warner, no problem; The original actors are all third- and fourth-rate stars who are not famous, and there is no problem; Or the original screenwriter, what about the screenwriter? At this time, they found out that the screenwriter turned out to be a Korean, and then they naturally found out that the movie was also invested by this Korean, they were stupid and stunned, such a dark horse movie had nothing to do with their Time Warner?

No, it's not that it doesn't matter, they are responsible for distribution, and they can still get a distribution fee of 3% of the total box office.

After that, Larry was called to the president's office, and after a long time, Larry walked out with a wry smile, the president was so bad that he didn't shout like those clowns who jumped off the beam, but he also told Larry a little, that is, the sequel to "The Hangover" must be in hand

Larry went back and thought about it for a long time, and felt that he still couldn't tell Li Chong directly, although he had a very good relationship with Li Chong and admired Li Chong very much, but business is business after all, and according to the current trend of "The Hangover", this is a multi-billion dollar series, and it is not something that can be obtained by relying on relationships.

In fact, there is a reason why Time Warner wants to win this series of movies, the first is that the brand of the series of movies has been created, and the script of "The Hangover" is very simple, so simple that any screenwriter who has had a ridiculous boyhood can write it, but it is such a simple idea that was written by a Korean, and it was made into a movie, and it became a box office dark horse, which is not a simple thing; The second is that Time Warner's series of movies "Harry Potter" is about to end, the sixth part will be released this year, and the seventh part will be released next year, which is also the last part of "Harry Potter". The timing of "The Hangover" coincided with the time when Time Warner was looking around for a franchise; The third is that this is a small-budget movie, even if the second one starts to increase the salary and increase the budget, it will not exceed too much, even if it is doubled, it is still a small-cost system, with 50 million US dollars to fight for at least 150 million to 200 million US dollars in profits, anyone will be tempted, and this is still a series, at least three to four episodes can be filmed

"That's basically what it means, although Larry's father has a bit of power, but he is still a lot worse than the president of the company, this matter makes him very embarrassed, which should be the reason why she didn't tell you directly today." Wright intermittently told Li Chong about the events of the past month or so, and in general, Li Chong already understood what was going on.

It's that Time Warner has the intention to acquire the sequel rights to "The Hangover", and even if it can't be acquired, it will find a way to participate in the production.

Hung up the phone, Li Chongdu was a little confused, he should have been very happy today to become a shareholder of SM company, was appointed as an independent director, and previously established a joint venture subsidiary with Japan Ai Hui, which can push all its Korean combinations to Japan, which is the source of future profits, but these things have been mixed up by this phone call.

Just when Li Zhong was worried, another thing was also worrying about Girlhood.

The new dormitory of Girls' Generation has been renovated, and they can move in at any time, but this group of girls said that they wanted to stay in the original dormitory, and when they were not nostalgic and when they would move out, Jin Yanping listened inexplicably, but fortunately, Li Xiuman said a word, saying that they could move whenever they wanted

"When is Uncle moving out?" Yuli asked in her dorm room.

"I remember that the uncle said that it was in July, but now it's the middle of the month, and the uncle hasn't moved yet, it should be the end of July," Xiaoxian replied seriously.

"I've known my uncle for two years, and I'm the uncle we met on the day of our debut" There are now five people in the dormitory: Jessica, Seo Hyun, Hyoyeon, Sunny and Yoo-li.
