picked up the mobile phone and took a look, it turned out to be Xu Xian, inexplicably, Li Chengyou suddenly felt a little weak.

But the calls came, and he couldn't help answering them, so Lee Seung-woo breathed lightly and connected the phone.

"Hello, Xu Xianxi."

"Hello senior." Hearing Li Chengyou's greeting, Xu Xian also hurriedly responded.

Li Chengyou said: "Xu Xianxi suddenly called, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Senior ......"

Xu Xian stopped talking, was slightly silent, and still said: "Senior, do you have time to come to our company?" ”

Lee Seung-woo: "......"

All right.

From Xu Xian's words, there was no need to ask at all, and Lee Seung-woo knew that last night's incident must have been suppressed by S.M Company.

And the results were not what he expected.

Without waiting for him to answer, Xu Xian explained the reason.

After the paparazzi took a photo of him and Xu Xian last night, they did not publish it in the newspaper, but notified the S.M company first. Since S.M Company knows, it must ask Xu Xian for inquiries. And the company came over and was photographed again, Xu Xian and Lee Seung-woo are not really in love, so it is naturally impossible and unnecessary to hide it.

So S.M Company knew about Seo Hyun's investment in Lee Seungwoo's film.

And then ...... The interview came.

After listening to this, Lee Seung-woo was speechless, but just like Xu Xian, since S.M Company knew about it and found the door again, Lee Seung-woo had no choice but to go over.

Hanging up the phone, Lee Seung-woo rubbed his temples and pondered.

S.M company will definitely not be idle and boring when he calls him over, Li Chengyou thought about it, and roughly speculated that there were probably two reasons: First, he suspected that he was in love with Xu Xian, and warned him to stop pestering Xu Xian and stop beating Xu Xian's idea. Second, an interest in him himself, or rather, an interest in his films.

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

For the first type, Lee Seung-woo doesn't care, he has nothing to do with Xu Xian, the so-called warning of S.M Company, just listen to it, there is no need to pay attention to it.

As for the second?

If the conditions are right, it may not be an opportunity.

As one of the most well-known entertainment agencies in South Korea, S.M is deeply involved in the music industry, but it must have a much wider network in the film and television industry. If S.M is willing to help him promote the movie and arrange for the theater release, it will be much easier and easier for him to find a channel by himself. If S.M's demands are too much, the big deal will be broken up, and he will have nothing to lose.

The movie can't be released, so sell the copyright directly.

Take 10,000 steps back and say that he just paid the script and time cost, and the investment was all made by Xu Xian, and the theater could not be released and directly sell the copyright is nothing more than a matter of making more money and making less money.

Anyway, no matter how much he earns, he has to earn.

After thinking clearly, Li Chengyou no longer had any worries, packed up, changed his clothes, and took a taxi to S.M Company.

S.M. Company, Manager's Office.

After following the reception staff into the office, looking at the middle-aged man with glasses sitting seriously behind the desk, Lee Seung-woo bowed slightly respectfully on the surface, and waited for the other party to speak.

looked at Li Chengyou silently for a while, and then the man with glasses suddenly spoke: "You are Li Chengyou?" ”

Li Chengyou nodded, deferential on the surface, but secretly rolled his eyes.

He actually wants to complain about the other party, can we get straight to the point and talk less nonsense?

The man with glasses said: "My name is An Taihe, and I am in charge of the company's film and television business, please take a seat." ”

Lee Seung-woo sat down safely across from him.

An Taihe said: "Listen to Xu Xian, you collaborated on a movie? ”

From this sentence, Lee Seung-woo confirmed his judgment, and the other party really became interested in his movie.

Li Chengyou nodded, and An Taihe said again: "I read the script you created from Xu Xian, it is very innovative and mature. ”

Lee Seung-woo said, "Thank you." ”

An Taihe said: "Speaking of which, you must have guessed it, our company is somewhat interested in your film, if you don't object, can you let us watch the finished film?" ”

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

Ahn Tae-ho looked at Lee Seung-woo, half loud, and laughed softly.

"Yes. Wait a minute, I'll arrange the work, and we'll get over here. ”

To Lee Seung-woo's expectation, but to Lee Seung-woo's surprise, S.M's company was indeed interested in his film, which was not beyond his judgment. But this meeting was beyond Lee Seung-woo's expectations. From the time I came in to the end of the conversation, it didn't take more than five minutes, except for mentioning Xu Xian in the movie, An Taihe didn't mention the paparazzi's secret filming last night.

This dude...... It's very fine.

It seems that he knows that Xu Xian has no effect on him, so he directly avoids this topic.

And the facts are indeed similar to Lee Seung-woo's speculation.

In fact, before inviting Lee Seung-woo, Ahn Tae-woo had already made up his mind to put pressure on Lee Seung-woo and try to take the initiative to facilitate the subsequent negotiations. It is also for this reason that from the time Lee Seung-woo came to S.M Company until he entered the office, Ahn Tae-ho's posture has always been very high.

But after really meeting Lee Seung-woo and making a little observation, An Taihe changed his mind in a blink of an eye.

The reason is simple.

From the moment he entered the office and saw him, Lee Seung-woo's performance was completely devoid of the pride and impatience of young people, he seemed respectful on the surface, but in fact he was unrestrained, and he was calm in the face of him, not caring about his status and identity at all.

This made Antaihe understand in an instant.

Lee Seung-woo is far from being as immature as his apparent age, on the contrary, his personality is still very mature.

And because of this.

Since you can't put pressure on Lee Seung-woo psychologically, it's just a waste of time to say more useless nonsense, so it's better to go straight to the point, so as not to waste saliva and disgust Lee Seung-woo.

Ten minutes later.

Lee Seung-woo and Ahn Tae-ho took a car to the studio he rented for the film, and after an hour and a half, after watching the finished film, there was no superfluous nonsense, and the two sides quickly confirmed their partnership. - S.M will be responsible for the promotion and distribution of the film, and the specific agency fees will be discussed later.

When cooperation is established, the atmosphere becomes more harmonious.

An Taihe looked at Li Chengyou and said with a smile: "Chengyou, are you interested in signing with our company?" You can rest assured that the conditions will definitely satisfy you. ”

Li Chengyou smiled euphemistically and said politely: "Brother Taihe, thank you for the invitation, it's a pity that I'm used to being free and casual." However, if your company is interested in the future, we can still have many opportunities for cooperation. ”

Antaihe was dumbfounded when he heard this, smiled to himself, and no longer insisted on it.

The reason why I was able to cooperate with Lee Seung-woo this time was that Seo-hyun was an opportunity. But more importantly, after reading the script created by Lee Seung-woo and communicating with Seo Hyun, S.M Company saw a certain potential from Lee Seung-woo, and after watching the finished film, Ahn Tae-wha confirmed Lee Seung-woo's directing talent.

S.M has been working hard to enter the film and television industry, so in the case that well-known directors have almost fixed cooperation companies, it is a necessary step to marry a potential and capable new director.

This is how Lee Seung-woo entered the sights of S.M.

If you can sign Li Chengyou, it will naturally be better, if you can't sign it, you must first lay a good emotional foundation to pave the way for future cooperation.

Anyway, it's just a gesture for S.M, and even if Lee Seung-woo's movie fails, it won't have much impact on the company.

What's more, after watching Lee Seung-woo's movie, Ahn Tae-wha didn't think that this movie would pounce. - After all, through Seo Hyun Ahn Tae-ho, I also learned that the production cost of Lee Seung-woo's entire movie does not exceed 150 million won, and with such a low production cost, where can the movie go no matter how much it pounces.

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

Confirm the cooperation, and the two sides say goodbye in a friendly manner.

Sending An Taihe away, before getting on the elevator, An Taihe suddenly turned his head and suddenly asked, seemingly casually-

"Chengyou, you arranged the paparazzi last night, right?"
