Time flies in the blink of an eye.

March passed quickly, and April entered in a blink of an eye.

A month after the release of "Lost Delta" (Horror Cruise), the box office performance is still slightly short of 5 million viewers.

Lee Seung-woo negotiated with CJ Entertainment and decided to extend the screening time for another 10 days, until two days before the next film, when the box office finally crossed the 5 million mark, and Lee Seung-woo became one of the few Korean directors to have a 5 million box office work.

Time.

Lee Seung-woo's reputation has risen again, and the media has started a new round of touting.

"The Five Million Club has added another newcomer, and the post-90s directors are unbeatable!"

"Dazzling new star, successor! Congratulations to director Lee Seung-woo for joining the 5 million box office club! ”

"Small cost, high box office! The secret of director Lee Seung-woo's success! ”

"The Birth of a Genius: The Rise of Lee Seung-woo!"

"The representative of the new generation of directors, Lee Seung-woo is undoubted!"

……

The media touted made Lee Seung-woo blow another whirlwind on the Internet, but in the face of praise and praise from the outside world, Lee Seung-woo was not very moved, and most of the time he stayed at home, neither accepting media interviews nor magazine invitations, and continued to pursue the line of mysticism.

And because of this.

In less than a week, when the whirlwind on the Internet blew, Lee Seung-woo's popularity quickly dropped.

Morning.

Lee Seung-woo Apartment.

An Taihe sat opposite Li Chengyou, looking at Li Chengyou, An Taihe shook his head and smiled: "Chengyou, you really don't look like a young man, such a good opportunity to be in the limelight, you are so peaceful, not at all." ”

Li Chengyou said dumbly: "Brother Taihe, I'm not an artist, so it's useless to ask for these false names." No matter how famous he is, the director still has to use his work to speak. If my next work fails, how high these media praise me now will trample on me in the future. At the moment, they all boast that I am talented, and in the future, they will scold me Jiang Lang. ”

Antawa: "......"

I laughed and laughed, and said no more.

has known Lee Seung-woo for so long, and he has a certain understanding of Lee Seung-woo's character. Although Lee Seung-woo is only in his early twenties, he does not have the immaturity and vanity of young people at all, acts steadily, and has means, which is why he is willing to leave and join Lee Seung-woo's company.

After a pause, An Taihe said: "Chengyou, in half a month, it will be the Baeksang Art Awards, your film has won several nominations this time, and the organizer has already passed with me, you will definitely win this Baeksang Art Awards." CJ has been negotiating with me recently to prepare to launch your film overseas after the Cannes Film Festival. ”

Lee Seung-woo nodded, not surprised.

When I negotiated with CJ to extend the release time of the movie, CJ immediately agreed because it would be more conducive to overseas promotion after the box office reached 5 million.

After all, CJ is also one of the main investors of films, and CJ can also get higher returns by promoting movies overseas.

Looking at An Taihe, Li Chengyou smiled and said, "Brother Taihe, these things will trouble you." If you can work harder, you will bother more. ”

An Taihe nodded with a smile, paused, and said: "Chengyou, now that the movie has been drawn, I wonder if you have any new ideas for the company's next work?" ”

Lee Seung-woo said: "I have some ideas for the time being, but when the script is completed, it will take about two to three months." Wait until the second half of the year. During this time, movies and TV series were busy one after another, and I also needed to take a month or two off. If there are no accidents, the film will start preparing for July and August in the second half of the year, and if it goes well, it will be filmed around September. ”

Seeing that Lee Seung-woo had already planned it, Ahn Tae-ho relieved himself.

The reason why he is willing to join Lee Seung-woo's company is that he wants to go further in his career, and if he is still like the company, it takes a few years to produce a work, then he might as well stay in Lee Seung-woo's company

After chatting about work and chatting for a while, Antai said goodbye and left.

Lee Seung-woo sat on the sofa and also breathed a long sigh of relief.

After more than a year, his career has finally entered the right track, and on the Huaxia side, Li's father's business is also going well, it can be said that he has finally achieved financial freedom to a certain extent, and he will no longer have to work as hard and hard as when he first crossed over.

Following.

Lee Seung-woo, who was relaxed, rarely continued to stay at home, slept until near noon, washed up, didn't drive, took a taxi to YG, called Kim Jisoo to have a meal together, and wandered around Seoul aimlessly in the afternoon.

After strolling until three o'clock in the afternoon, I passed by a theater and entered the cinema to watch a movie, and when I came out, it was already more than five o'clock, and it was dark.

Lee Seung-woo looked at the sky, and he had no interest in continuing to wander around, so when he left the theater, he was ready to call a car and go back.

But who would have thought that he had just walked out of the cinema not far away, and suddenly a figure stopped in front of him.

Li Chengyou was suddenly stunned, a little surprised.

Looking at the figure in front of him, when he saw the other party's appearance clearly, Li Chengyou couldn't help laughing.

"What a coincidence, we met again."

"I thought it was you just now, but I didn't expect it to be you."

Li Chengyou nodded and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a while, but I didn't expect you to be a lot taller again." How's it going, life is going well, right? ”

"It's okay. It's definitely a lot worse than you, and I've often seen your news on the Internet for more than half a year. By the way, how did you and your girlfriend break up? ”

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

You're really good at talking.

Li Chengyou secretly rolled his eyes, and said with a smile as usual: "It's okay to borrow your auspicious words." ”

"She didn't break up with you?"

The other party was a little surprised, but then said, "Yes." You are so famous now, several film and television dramas have been successful in a row, and you have made a lot of money. If an ordinary girl meets a boy with conditions like you, even if they know that you are spending, even if it is for money, few people are willing to let go. - By the way, now that you have a name and money, there must be a lot of girls who will pounce on you.

Are you living the kind of life you expected right now? ”

Lee Seung-woo was a little convinced.

The girl in front of me really doesn't regard herself as an outsider, we met once, and I can't even talk about familiarity, you really dare to say anything.

Do you understand the words? This emotion is also touching enough.

Li Chengyou suddenly felt very bored, and he was too lazy to talk nonsense with the girl in front of him.

Smiling, Li Chengyou said, "It's okay." Well. It's not too early, I have to hurry back, or I'll do it this time, and I'll see you next time. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Chengyou nodded slightly, turned around, and prepared to leave.

But as soon as he took a step, before he fell, the voice behind him suddenly sounded again.

"Wait......"
