Chapter 184 Finalize the script
Another person was hired from S.M Company, but compared to Ahn Taihe, Yu Shengyan was calm and calm.
After all, he is just a trainee who has not debuted yet. In terms of appearance and strength, he is not very dazzling among the trainees of S.M Company. Besides, there are too many trainees who have left S.M Company, and Ahn Tae-hwa is negotiating with them, so Yoo Seung-yeon The transfer to k.l company went smoothly without any twists and turns.
But despite this, Lee Soo Man still called Lee Seung Woo, and after asking him to meet, he used Yu Seung Yeon's incident to hint Lee Seung Woo not to forget their last agreement.
As for what agreement?
Naturally, he agreed to collaborate on another work with S.M Company.
Regarding this.
Li Chengyou didn't shirk either.
"Uncle Man, I already have the inspiration for the script."
Putting down the coffee he had taken a sip of, Lee Seung-woo did not talk about inspiration, but changed the topic and asked Lee Soo-man first: "I wonder if Uncle Man paid attention to the online comments after the drama "Want to Meet You" ended?"
Li Xiuman's eyes flashed slightly and he smiled: "Could it be that the inspiration Seungwoo mentioned is related to this drama?"
Li Chengyou nodded: "Many viewers online felt a little regretful after the TV series ended. Many people commented that they hoped Han Chengyue and Gao Yina had a more satisfactory ending, and they also hoped to see the two of them working together again. My That’s where the inspiration actually comes from.”
Li Xiuman sat upright and became interested: "Seungwoo, continue."
Lee Seung-woo said: "The idea of the new script is still a time travel story, set in high school, telling the story of a piano genius who transferred to an art school and met a girl who played mysterious piano music in an old piano practice room. Then a fantasy love story unfolded. The general content of the story is as follows..."
Next, Lee Seung-woo told Lee Soo-man about the general content, and finally said: "...I have already thought of the name of the script, and it will be called "The Secret That Cannot Be Told."
That's right.
The work that Lee Seung Woo chose to collaborate with S.M again was "The Secret That Cannot Be Telln", the first work that he wrote, directed and starred in in his previous life, Jay Chou.
In the past life, this work had mixed reputations in China, with some praise and criticism, but it was extremely famous in South Korea. Not only was it re-screened many times, it was also often mentioned in Korean TV dramas. "Shawshank Redemption" scores even higher.
There is also a reason why Lee Seung-woo chose this work.
Looking at Lee Soo Man, Lee Seung Woo said: "To a certain extent, this story can be regarded as the follow-up to "Want to See You". With the audience base of "Want to See You", there is a certain guarantee at the box office first. And this film The movie is about music and young people, and it is more suitable for S.M Company. As the largest entertainment agency in the domestic music field, S.M Company has always been a trendsetter. Such a movie about music is also conducive to further promotion. s.m company’s image.”
After a slight pause, Li Chengyou smiled again: "And if this kind of music-themed movie can be successful, it will be a reference for Uncle Man to expand the film and television development of his artists in the future, and it will be used as a reference for S.M Company's future film and television productions. It also has certain reference significance.”
Lee Soo Man sat upright again, took a few sips of coffee, pondered for a moment, and then said: "So the male and female protagonists of this movie still have to be Yoona and Park Bo Gum?"
Li Chengyou understood the meaning of Li Xiuman's words as soon as he heard it, shook his head and said: "Uncle Man, the first thing I consider when making movies is making money, followed by other things."
Knowing that "The Untold Secret" is very popular in Korea, and that there is an audience base for "Want to Meet You", as long as this movie is made, there is a high probability that it will definitely make money, so naturally Lee Seung-woo will not not participate, let alone
Maybe he agreed to let Lee Soo Man mess around.
Lee Soo Man wanted to leave all opportunities to the artists of his own company, and also for the movie to be legitimately branded as S.M Company. Lee Seung Woo could understand, but would not agree.
What a joke!
Only with the participation of Park Bo Gum and Lim Yoon Ah can we attract the loyal audience of "I Want to Meet You" into the theater. Once the male lead is replaced, even if the movie is still successful, it will definitely be far less successful at the box office than with Park Bo Gum's participation. It may even be counterproductive. If
This caused dissatisfaction among the loyal viewers of "I Want to Meet You", and there was a possibility that the movie might fail. Naturally, Lee Seung-woo was not willing to take this risk.
He is cooperating with s.m, not a vassal of s.m. The purpose is to make money, not to help s.m increase its popularity.
Looking at Lee Soo Man, Lee Seung Woo said again: "The male and female protagonists of the movie can only be Park Bo Gum and Im Yoona." After a pause, thinking of Yu Seung Yeon, he added, "The candidate for the supporting actress has also been decided. If there are other actors, Uncle Man, who has recommendations,
Yes, as long as the acting skills are up to standard, I will consider it."
Hearing this, Li Xiuman stared at Li Chengyou for a moment. Seeing that Li Chengyou was facing him calmly and without dodge, he picked up the coffee and took a sip, smiling dumbly.
"Okay. Chengyou is the director and more professional, so I'll just follow your opinion."
After saying goodbye to Lee Soo Man, Lee Seung Woo drove back to the apartment.
Although he agreed to cooperate with Lee Soo Man, the script has not yet been written, and the production date has not yet been determined.
The two just agreed that after the script is completed, it will be handed over to Lee Soo Man for review, and then they will negotiate the specific investment ratio and production date.
However, not long after returning to the apartment, Li Chengyou received a call from Lin Yuner.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Lin Yoona asked for confirmation: "You just met with the president and confirmed that you want to collaborate on a movie?"
Li Chengyou was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, Lee Soo Man revealed the news to Im Yoona just after the cooperation was finalized.
Li Chengyou said: "There is such a thing. You are quite well-informed."
Lin Yoona immediately asked: "When will your script be completed?"
Li Chengyou smiled: "It depends on your mood."
Lin Yuner: "..."
Li Chengyou said: "I'll hang up if there's nothing else to do. I have something to do here, so I won't talk to you any more."
Lin Yoona was depressed: "Lee Seungwoo, are you interested? Didn't I just say that I don't like you, why are you so petty? You gave me a bad look at the award ceremony two days ago, and now when we talk about business, you still have this attitude.
"
Li Chengyou laughed dumbly: "I say Lin Yoona, xi, with all due respect, you think too highly of yourself. If you talk about face, there are countless girls in the entertainment industry who are prettier than you. When it comes to figure, let alone your poor figure.
There are countless people with better figures than you. As for not liking me? There are always girls who don’t like me. As for me, I am angry with you. I am really busy and have no time to chat with you. That’s it, nothing else.
I’ve hung up on the matter and will contact you again when you have time.”
"etc……"
As soon as Li Chengyou finished speaking, Lin Yoona quickly said: "Are you really not angry?"
Li Chengyou was speechless: "Am I so boring?"
Lin Yoona said: "It will be my birthday at the end of the month. Have you thought about what you want to give me?"
Li Chengyou: "..."
