Chapter 23 Determination of schedules

"Lee Seung-woo wrote and directed a movie by himself, and it has already been filmed?"

I don't know where the news came out, there are rumors that it is from within Dongguk University, Lee Seung-woo is a famous talent at Dongguk University, just graduated from his junior year, and he wrote a script before he entered his senior year, and he brought in investment, and just completed filming last month.

As soon as this news was exposed on the Internet, it immediately set off a heated discussion.

"Such a cow? Talent! No wonder Xu Xian would take a fancy to him! ”

"Born in 1990, just in his senior year, he hasn't graduated, and he can write and direct himself at the age of 23? Well, this is another child from someone else's family. ”

"I'm finally able to feel a little relieved, young, handsome, and talented, and barely worthy of our busyness."

"Does anyone know when Lee Seung-woo's movie will be released? Suddenly curious. ”

"I searched on the Internet, there is no relevant news, I just finished filming last month, and now I should still be in post-production."

"How do you think it's a little strange that this momentum is ...... The movie was just filmed last month, and there was a scandal with Xu Xian this month, and Xu Xian is famous for being clean and self-conscious, and there have been no love rumors before, should it be ...... Lee Seung-woo is using Seo Hyun to hype, right? ”

"If you think about it, it's really possible. Scumbag, you dare to take advantage of us! ”

……

Once the seeds of doubt sprout, they will thrive with a little wind and rain. However, before this sign of this trend became more and more vigorous, Lee Seung-woo would once again become the target of verbal and written criticism, and S.M, which had been paying attention to the public opinion situation, immediately issued a statement that afternoon.

The statement clarified that after confirming with Seo Hyun, it was confirmed that Seo Hyun and Lee Seungwoo were just friends. And the reason why Seo Hyun met with Lee Seung-woo that night was because Seo Hyun was one of the investors of Lee Seung-woo's film, and that night after the post-production of the film was completed, Lee Seung-woo invited Seo-hyun to watch the film in advance, and at that time, in addition to Seo Hyun and Lee Seung-woo, there were other people present, and the relationship between Seo Hyun and Lee Seung-woo was not a misunderstanding between the media and netizens.

As soon as this statement was released, public opinion on the Internet set off another upsurge.

"Seo Hyun is an investor in Lee Seung-woo's films? I'll just say it. Busy has always been self-conscious, how can there be no sign of it, and suddenly start falling in love. ”

"Hype! It's definitely hype! Even if Seo Hyun didn't fall in love with Lee Seung-woo and suddenly had a scandal, he was definitely cooperating with Lee Seung-woo to hype! ”

"I think it's hype, it's too obvious. S.M is such a big company, Xu Xian's scandal spread at once, S.M's public relations department is-eaten, and even this turmoil can't be suppressed in advance? The reason why this scandal suddenly spread is that Seo Hyun cooperated with Lee Seungwoo to hype, or S.M's statement was diverting attention. Xu Xian is indeed in a relationship with Lee Seung-woo, 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, some people were skeptical, and there were many discussions and controversies on the Internet.

But this was within S.M's expectations, and even secretly guided and fueled the flames, and after the statement was released, it allowed the scandal to 'naturally' ferment and no longer paid much attention to it.

After all, how to say it, except for real dementia, no one in this world is really stupid, maybe some people are slow to react, others can figure things out in a second, some people need half an hour or more, but there will always be a moment of awakening. So it's normal to be seen as hype, and there's no need to clarify or suppress it. It's a good thing to have arguments and doubts, there is no controversy and there is no heat, and how can you promote the movie without heat?

And the facts are the same as what S.M Company judged, the more controversy, the more widely Lee Seung-woo's movie was promoted, and many people who didn't pay attention to this matter originally paid attention to Lee Seung-woo's movie as the controversy expanded.

"When will Lee Seung-woo's movie be released, I'm getting more and more curious now. It doesn't matter if it's hype, or just to divert attention. If it is hype, S.M Company is willing to cooperate with Lee Seung-woo to hype, which shows that this movie will not disappoint too much. If it is a boy who can divert his gaze and make Xu Xian look into his eyes, he must also have his advantages. ”

"Well, I'm getting more and more curious now. This Li Chengyou can write and direct himself at a young age, and 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, and it will be clear what it will be when the time comes."

……

There are many heated discussions on the Internet, some praise and some depreciation, but through this hype, Lee Seung-woo's movie also entered the public's field of vision with the help of the scandal with Xu Xian.

S.M Company, Aetna and Office.

Ahn Tae-ho looked at Lee Seung-woo and said with a smile: "It's confirmed, it will be released on June 7 next month." I remember that it was your birthday on June 6th, which was also a birthday gift for you. ”

"Thank you, Brother Taihe."

Lee Seung-woo smiled politely and thanked him politely.

An Taihe nodded, and said: "Although the number of screens fought for this time is not much, only 300, the schedule is still relatively good." There are no too competitive films before and after, which can be regarded as gains and losses. I hope you don't get too disappointed. ”

"No, it won't."

Li Chengyou hurriedly smiled: "It is already beyond my expectations to be able to win 300 screens. ”

South Korea is different from China in that it is too small and has a limited number of cinemas, with only 3,000 screens. Because of this, S.M's ability to win 300 screens for him really exceeded Lee Seung-woo's expectations. After all, no matter what, he is just an unknown rookie director, and his first movie is a small budget, and it is not a low starting point to be released on 300 screens.

What's more, just the initial screening is 300 screens, and if the movie can be a hit, even if it is for its own interests, the cinema will naturally take the initiative to increase the number of screens.

For example, the Japanese version of "Don't Stop the Camera" in the previous life, which was worse than him at the beginning of its release, was only screened on a small scale in two theaters with a total of no more than 200 seats, and it was not until the follow-up set a record of 72 consecutive full screenings that the theater line was gradually expanded, and the box office exploded.

And because of this.

Lee Seung-woo was able to win 300 screens in the initial screening, and he was really satisfied with the cooperation with S.M.

Of course.

As the first film directed by a newcomer, it can have 300 screens at the beginning of the screening, which is also related to the fact that there are really no too competitive films in this schedule.

But that's normal.

If it's really a hot schedule, it won't be Lee Seung-woo's movie.
