81. A phone call

The box office miracle of "The Chaser" is still going on. More than 100,000 people come to the cinema every day to watch this movie. There are a lot of discussions on the plot of the movie on the Internet every day, and there is already a national trend.

Many people are now saying that if this was not a movie that was restricted to viewing at the age of 19, it might have exceeded 4 million people, not like this, but even if the rating is there, the money-making strength has made showbox company overjoyed, and Choi Min-woo has increased the distribution efforts.

Li Chong was dragged to the set to coordinate the relationship between various groups. After all, Li Chong is still the deputy director of this movie, and he is in charge of a lot. In case Zhang Xun is in trouble, Li Chong is the director, so he has to be familiar with all these aspects. With Li Chong's personality, he must be humiliated, "It's easy for me to be a starring actor and an assistant director. I didn't even have to worry about the script!"

As a result, Li Chong was despised by Zhang Xun for a while, "You don't know which character's word you have broken down, and you are still embarrassed to be lazy. When filming "The Chaser", I served you wholeheartedly. Do you have to know, how tired I was at that time?"

Li Chong could only protest without saying a word. Because it was true that, Zhang Xun was preparing and managing many things at that time. Without Zhang Xun, Li Chong, who was shooting a long movie for the first time, would not know how many changes would happen.

Seeing that Li Chong didn't speak, Zhang Xun was even more at ease. What venues, props, costumes, actors, and even food was almost in charge. If Li Chong hadn't given a "big meal" beef soup for the first meal, Zhang Xun would have really regarded Li Chong as omnipotent.

In a blink of an eye, it was March 9th. It was sunny and the breath of early spring had arrived. Li Chong was taken to the press conference by Zhang Xun early, "Brother, the press conference was in the afternoon. Why did you get me here in the morning?" Li Chong was sleepy. He forgot about Li Chong's preparations before turning on the computer these days, so he didn't have much rest. He even sent fewer text messages. He finally started the press conference today. Li Chong got up late and went there again in the afternoon.

"I plan to release the news that you are one of the protagonists in the afternoon's press conference." Zhang Xun said to Li Chong.

"Ah..." Li Chong rubbed his eyes and looked at Zhang Xun, "Brother, aren't you playing with me? Didn't you agree to release this news when there was nothing attracted media attention in the middle of the shooting? Why did you suddenly get ahead of time?"

"Well, who made you film "The Chaser"? It's been so amazing. In less than a month, you've won three weekly box office champions. The number of viewers has reached 3.5 million, so the teacher thinks that it would be better to use you to promote it now." Zhang Xun also felt a little depressed. His original plan was to let Lee Chong appear as the deputy director, and the other male protagonist hide it to create suspense. Then, during the filming, he announced Lee Chong's male protagonist's identity. Isn't this more topical? As a result, I don't know why Kim Ki-duk called Zhang Xun in the morning and asked him to announce the fact that Lee Chong is one of the male protagonists today.

"Ring, ring, ring" Zhang Xun's phone rang, "Hello, director An Bingji." Zhang Xun was a little surprised when he saw that An Bingji was. The last time he was looking for him was because of the rating of the movie "Chaser", he couldn't find Li Chong. What happened this time?

Zhang Xun listened to An Bingji's phone call, and when he listened, he looked at Li Chong's eyes, there was a hint of envy in his eyes. Zhang Xun rarely envy people because he had his own arrogance. He felt that he just didn't give him a chance, and as long as he had this chance, he would soar into the sky.

However, Li Chong was too surprised to him. When Zhang Xun hung up the phone and looked at Li Chong straight, Li Chong was also a little uneasy. "Uh, Brother Zhang Xun, what's wrong? Director An Bingji has something to ask you for trouble?"

"Did you not turn on your phone yet?" In the morning, Zhang Xun directly smashed the door and woke up Li Chong.

"Yes, I originally planned to have a good sleep this morning, and my phone has been turned off." Li Chong also took out his phone and shook it.

Zhang Xun rushed to Li Chong with a quick step, clamping Li Chong's head with his hands and body, "I finally know why the teacher asked the teacher to announce the matter of you being the protagonist now. You lucky boy, I am jealous of you." Zhang Xun said while clamping Li Chong, clamping Li Chong, screaming, "Speak well if you have something, and say well if you have something!"

Zhang Xun let go of Li Chong, "You can turn on your phone and take a look."

Li Chong was very confused. Isn’t it just that the phone was turned off, and there was something amazing. As soon as Li Chong turned on, countless unanswered phone calls rushed into his phone, which scared Li Chong. No, what is going on, 2012?

When Li Chong looked at it, the most president of the showbox company, Choi Minyu, reached more than 20, An Bingji, and some from Girls' Generation. In short, there were many missed calls and many unread text messages, and there were more than 10.

Li Chong looked at Zhang Xun, and Zhang Xun signaled Li Chong to read the text message.

Lee Chong opened a "Li Chong, call me immediately when you see it." Another one called "Hurry, if you see it, call me quickly." There was a bunch of text messages in the middle. The last one was this morning, "Li Chong, you are dead boy, I don't care. You turned off when it is so important. This is the phone call of a producer of Time Warner in Hollywood. Please contact him."

Li Chong was stunned, Hollywood, Time Warner, this is a long-standing name. Six or seven years ago, it often appeared in the mouths of their students who studied directors. He also interned at Warner and obtained Warner's application for employment when he graduated. Now he suddenly told him that someone in Warner is looking for him, but Li Chong was a little unresponsive.

Zhang Xun looked at Li Chong in a daze, a little envious of the boy, "Why are you stupid? You haven't called President Cui from Showbox, and Warner wants to buy the movie adaptation rights for "The Chaser".

"Ah, is this true? They want to buy the adaptation rights of "The Chaser"?" Li Chong was still a little uncertain.

"If the real teacher hadn't allowed you to be exposed today, this news has spread in the director and screenwriter circle now, and you, the person involved, don't know. Director An Bingji called me just now because of this."

Li Chong quickly called Choi Minyu. As soon as the phone was heard, Li Chong was scolded by Choi Minyu, "You said I was exhausted yesterday and helped you take on this job. You are so good that you can turn off your phone and you can't find anyone. I finally explained to Warner people, saying that you are now in seclusion and writing scripts."

Li Chong was also a little guilty and said sorry. When Choi Min-woo's anger subsided, Lee Chong asked, "President Choi, what does Time Warner mean? How could he see my movie?"

Hearing Lee Chong's question, Choi Min-woo scolded Lee Chong again, and then she said the reason: "Didn't the movie be promoted just in time to catch up with the Cannes Film Festival? I took a few movies to open up the foreign market, and you didn't want to go there at that time. As a result, distribution companies from several countries were optimistic about the movie. At that time, several countries signed agreements. Warner was the distributor of the United States at that time. They also showed interest in this movie, but you also know that few Korean movies can be released in the United States, so it was left alone after that time."
