in the conference room.

Today is the second script study meeting held by the crew.

After helping Lin Yuna analyze and solve the doubts of the role, seeing An Taihe greeting him, Lee Seung-woo walked over, and the two walked out of the conference room together.

"Seungwoo, I heard you're starting to prepare for a second movie?"

In the smoking area on the roof, An Taihe handed Lee Seung-woo a cigarette, and after helping Lee Seung-woo light it, he asked with a smile.

Li Chengyou nodded, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Taihe's news is quite well-informed. ”

After the creation of the movie script, Lee Seung-woo has only contacted Son Ye-jin alone. Although he knew that Son Ye-jin would not help him hide it, and there was no need to hide it, Lee Seung-woo still didn't expect that even Ahn Tae-wo had heard the news before it had been two days.

But Lee Seung-woo didn't find it strange.

The Korean entertainment industry is so big, they all bow their heads and don't look up, plus he is now a little famous in the film and television industry, and as soon as the news of the preparation of the second movie is revealed, it is normal for it to spread quickly in the circle.

Lee Seung-woo even suspects that the script he gave to Son Ye-jin has been spread all over the circle now.

Otherwise, many production companies would not have contacted him in the past two days, and even large distribution companies such as CJ and Showbox would have come to his door one by one to seek cooperation with him.

Glancing at An Taihe, Li Chengyou smiled again: "Brother Taihe, if you are worried that my preparation of the movie will delay the filming of the TV series, I can ...... to you"

"Chengyou, you're thinking too much."

An Taihe interrupted with a smile and said, "I don't know your ability yet, others may have this worry, I absolutely believe in you." ”

After a pause, An Taihe smiled again: "I asked you to come up and talk about it this time, not about the TV series, but I want to ask you, do we have a chance to cooperate again this time?" For example, in terms of filming funds, what are your plans for this time, and do you have any ideas for accepting foreign investment? ”

Lee Seungwoo groaned slightly, nodded, and shook his head again.

Generally speaking, film investment is a high-risk, high-return industry. It's good that a quarter of the movies made every year can be released in theaters, and there are only a few that make money through theaters.

It is also for this reason that unless a director is very sure and thinks that he can grasp the needs of the audience, he will not take risks easily.

But in fact, there are still many people who invest in directing themselves.

But even if they invest themselves, most directors will bring in foreign capital to help them share the risk, rather than monopolizing the production.

Compared with other directors, Lee Seung-woo naturally has his own advantages, with the golden finger of memory of his past life, not to mention that every film he made has been verified by the market in his previous life, so Lee Seung-woo is very sure that each of his films will be able to make money.

But despite this, Lee Seung-woo will not be a sole proprietor.

The reason is simple.

One is that he doesn't have that much money at the moment. The second is that movies are a business to put it bluntly, at least in his opinion.

Since it's a business, most of the people who like to eat alone often end up with nothing.

The market share is so large, if you eat more, others will eat less, if there is no background and friends to help you, it will be strange if you don't attract resentment and attacks.

Not to mention that it is still in a country like South Korea.

And because of this.

In fact, from the very beginning, Lee Seung-woo planned to introduce foreign capital.

Of course.

The prerequisite is that he must dominate the proportion of investment.

Because only in this way can he ensure that his film is truly his film, and will not be controlled by foreign capital to edit out a bunch of messy things.

And since you plan to introduce foreign capital, seek a partner with background and strength, and use it as your own backing to shield yourself from the wind and rain before you grow up, you basically don't need to think much about how to choose in a country like South Korea.

So from the beginning, the company was not in Lee Seung-woo's choice and was kicked out early.

As far as the company's influence in the film and television industry is concerned, let's not talk about it.

Looking at An Taihe, Li Chengyou said: "Brother Taihe, we actually talked before, and I won't say those hypocritical polite words in front of you." Sincerely, I am very grateful to the company for helping me, and if it weren't for the company and the help of Taihege, maybe it would be a question of whether my first film could enter theaters. But in business, at one point or another, the company is no longer the most suitable partner for me. ”

When Antai heard this, his expression was as usual, and he neither felt resentment nor surprise.

As Lee Seung-woo said, they had actually talked about this topic before Lee Seung-woo had not yet written the script for his second film, and Ahn Tae-woo also knew very well that Lee Seung-woo would not accept the company's investment.

If it is said that the return to the company, whether it is the previous box office share or the cooperation in the subsequent TV series, Lee Seung-woo does not owe anything to him, so Lee Seung-woo's refusal is not ungrateful.

Not to mention that An Taihe is also a little in Cao Ying's heart at the moment, and he is actually waiting for the response after the TV series is broadcast.

If the TV series written by Lee Seung-woo is indeed as popular as a movie as he said, Ahn Tae-hwa will agree to Lee Seung-woo's previous invitation without any worries. As long as it is a man, there are a few who have no ambitions, rather than staying in the company's film and television department, Antai and naturally look forward to starting a new career with Lee Seung-woo.

So when he came to Li Chengyou this time, he was just doing his duty, and it didn't matter if he didn't.

After all, empathy, from Lee Seung-woo's point of view, the company is indeed no longer Lee Seung-woo's most suitable partner at the moment.

Smiling, An Taihe shook his head and said, "You don't have to think about it, I'm just trying." In fact, Brother Taihe also knows that the company's influence in the film and television industry is indeed limited, and you can understand that you would choose Brother Taihe like this. However......" paused, Antaihe's voice changed, and suddenly asked with a smile, "...... Don't blame Brother Taihe for taking inches, after all, I am the manager of the company's film and television department, and I have to think about my artists. Thank you, are there any roles in this movie that are more suitable for the artists under our company? ”

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

Shaking his head and smiling, he could only nod.

He just refused before, he had a good relationship with Antaihe, and even planned to invite Antaihe to form a company with him, but now that Antaihe is open, he really doesn't want to give face at all.

After thinking about it, several characters in the script went through it in my mind.

Li Chengyou looked at An Taihe and said with a smile: "Since Brother Taihe has spoken, I can't not give no face at all." - Just Xu Xian. There is a character in the script that suits her better. Although the scene is a little less, it is only revealed at the beginning of the movie, but Brother Taihe, please believe me, playing this role will definitely increase her popularity. ”
