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

In the rental house, Choi Hyun-jin said excitedly to Lee Seung-woo while looking at the news on the Internet.

Lee Seung-woo shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Popularity has a fart use, I'm a director and not an artist, no matter how well-known I am, can I still accept advertisements?" ”

Cui Xianzhen was stunned: "Uh, yes." ”

It's not that the director can't accept endorsements or advertisements, but it's inevitable that there will be some drops in the way of doing so. Besides, with Li Chengyou's current popularity, even if someone invites him to take over the advertisement, it is conceivable what level it will be, and the advertising fee is not shameful enough.

Skipping this topic, as if thinking of something, Cui Xianzhen said excitedly: "Brother, now the number of moviegoers has exceeded 1 million, and it has only been released for two weeks, you said that when the movie is drawn, can the box office of our movie exceed 2 million 3 million?" If it can break through 3 million, I calculate, then brother, you can't make ...... money with this movie"

"Okay, okay, don't be."

Li Chengyou couldn't cry or laugh, interrupted Cui Xianzhen, shook his head and said: "The first step of the Long March has just taken place, where is this." In terms of the current box office trend, it is still possible to break through 2 million moviegoers, but 3 million is a bit hanging, and there is a high probability that it will not be reached. And just make such a little money, barely enough to start the next movie, look at your little interest, can you be a little more generous? ”

"Don't Stop the Camera" has been in theaters for nearly half a month, and the screening period of a movie is generally only one month, and there is still more than half a month of screening time left. Even after negotiating with the theater, the theater agreed to extend the screening time, but it will be extended for another half a month to be the limit. After all, July is the summer season in South Korea, and there will be several blockbusters released one after another, and the theater chain will definitely make room for these blockbusters.

In addition, "Don't Stop the Camera" is not the kind of movie that accumulates a lot of money, most of the audiences will not watch it a second time after watching it once, and as soon as the initial novelty passes, the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie will decline rapidly, and the single-day box office will collapse like an avalanche in a straight line, and the later it will be, the more sluggish the box office will be, and the lower the possibility that the theater will extend the screening time.

And because of this.

Lee Seung-woo has actually estimated a long time ago that the box office of 2 million moviegoers will most likely break through, but 3 million is basically impossible.

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

But even so, Lee Seung-woo is already very satisfied.

The first film can reach the box office of 2 million viewers, which is undoubtedly a high starting point, and then as long as he releases the rumor of making a second movie, if the script is not too bad, there will definitely be people waving a checkbook to invest, so that at least he doesn't have to worry about fooling a big fool like he did when he shot the first movie.

Thinking of the big fool, Li Chengyou subconsciously flashed Xu Xian's figure in his mind, which was also a coincidence, saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, just thinking of Xu Xian, a phone call suddenly came in, picked up the mobile phone and looked at it, it happened to be Xu Xian.

That's really ...... Lee Seung-woo couldn't help but laugh.

After connecting the phone, I just said hello, Xu Xian's voice came from the other side: "Senior, do you have time for the past two days?" ”

Li Chengyou said: "Something? ”

Xu Xiandao: "Seniors have seen today's box office statistics, right?" ”

Lee Seung-woo responded.

Xu Xian said: "Senior, our movie has exceeded 1 million viewers, I think it is worth celebrating, if the seniors have time in the past two days, I would like to invite the seniors to have a meal, and by the way, thank the seniors for giving me the opportunity to invite me to participate in the investment." ”

Li Chengyou paused and said with a smile: "At the beginning, your willingness to invest was a matter of mutual benefit for the two of us, so I don't need to thank you." If I really want to say thank you, I should thank you. After all, without your trust and investment, this movie may have to be delayed for a few more months. So I don't need to say thank you anymore, if you really care about cause and effect, as I just said, I should thank you even more. ”

Xu Xian was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay then, then I won't be polite to my seniors." Do the seniors have time in the past two days, the box office has exceeded 1 million is also a thing to celebrate, as an investor, the investment of 50 million won has been exchanged for more than ten times the return, no matter from which point of view, I should indeed invite the seniors to have a meal and express my gratitude. By the way, several members of our group also want to get to know the seniors, and if the seniors don't mind, I'll introduce the seniors to them at that time. ”

Other members of the Youth?

Hearing this, Li Chengyou couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but then, he smiled and said: "It is said that I have nothing else to do in the past two days, and it is nothing for everyone to get together together, not to mention that I can meet other seniors of Girls' Generation." However, let's postpone it for a while. After the movie is officially drawn, let's set a time to get together, do you think this will work? Afraid that Xu Xian would misunderstand, Li Chengyou explained, "It's not that I deliberately shirked it, but the movie is currently in the release period, if we meet at this time and are photographed again, the scandal will not have a good impact on you, and it may also affect the next box office." ”

Smiling, Li Chengyou said again: "Besides, after the movie is drawn, the crew will definitely hold a celebration banquet, and when the time comes, they will be held together, and the scene will be lively, what do you think?" ”

There is a saying that this is not the same as it used to be.

Before the movie was released, there was an affair with Xu Xian, and with the help of Xu Xian and Girls' Generation's popularity, the role of promoting the movie was achieved. But now that the movie has been released, if you meet Xu Xian and be photographed again, and then there is a scandal, it is very likely that it will be the opposite, which will cause Xu Xian and the young fans to rebel, and the audience who originally wanted to go to the cinema to watch the movie will dispel their interest again.

As a saying often circulated in the entertainment industry, scandals are a double-edged sword, if you don't control the scale well, you will hurt yourself after hurting others.

Of course.

This is only a possibility, not an absolute.

It doesn't necessarily mean that having a meal with Xu Xian and the young members will definitely be photographed by reporters, nor does it mean that if they are photographed, they will definitely spread to the Internet and cause scandals, but as long as there is such a possibility, Lee Seung-woo still wants to avoid it as much as possible, and he doesn't want to make extraneous branches.

After all, under the current box office situation, every audience who enters the cinema to watch the movie is putting a sum of money in Lee Seung-woo's pocket. There are gold coins coming into the account every day, and in Lee Seung-woo's opinion, it is much cuter and more tempting than having a meal with Seo Hyun and the young members.

Ultimately.

No matter how beautiful and popular the girl is, it is impossible to roll the sheets with him after a meal, how can there be more refreshing and eye-catching counting of banknotes.
