Chapter 5 Candid Filming
"Brother, we've all been photographed. Take a look."
After finishing the meeting with Xu Xian and waiting for Xu Xian to leave the cafe and disappear far away, Li Chengyou slowly stood up and walked out of the cafe.
Soon after, a boy wearing glasses followed Li Chengyou out of the cafe. After he walked to a deserted area, he quickly stepped forward and handed a smartphone to Li Chengyou.
Li Chengyou reached out to take it, clicked on the photo album and looked through it. After confirming that there were indeed several photos of him and Xu Xian, especially one that looked a bit ambiguous, he raised the corners of his mouth and looked at the man wearing glasses.
Boys.
"Xianzhen, you did a good job. You are good at taking photos."
"Brother was joking."
Cui Xianzhen smiled coquettishly, looked at Li Chengyou, and said with a strange expression: "Brother, why did you let me secretly take photos of you and Xu Xian? Aren't you looking for her to cooperate? Could it be..."
"What the hell are you thinking about?"
Before Cui Xianzhen could finish speaking, Li Chengyou rolled his eyes, raised his hand and hit him on the head, complaining: "Be prepared for a rainy day, do you understand? We have little arms and legs with no reputation at all. When the movie is filmed,
If we don’t hype it up, how many people do you think will know about our movie even if it can be released by then, and how many people will go to the cinema to watch it?”
"Ah, it turns out that I want to stir up trouble with her!"
Cui Xianzhen was stunned for a moment, but then he suddenly realized that he thought Li Chengyou had a crush on Seohyun, but it turned out that he was just doing it to promote the movie.
But after thinking about it, he said a little strangely: "But brother, is it necessary? Xu Xian has definitely cooperated with you. If it is really for the promotion of the movie, she will also invest enough money, and she will not even do this little thing.
Won’t you cooperate?”
Li Chengyou twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced sideways at Cui Xianzhen, and said speechlessly: "Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?"
"What do you mean?" Cui Xianzhen was a little confused.
Li Chengyou said: "Think about it, who am I and what is Xu Xian's identity? And even if she is willing to cooperate with my promotion, do you think their company can agree to this?"
"Uh, it seems... that's the case."
Cui Xianzhen smiled awkwardly and couldn't help scratching his head.
If you think about it carefully, this is indeed what happened.
As a member of Girls' Generation, although Seohyun is not the most popular in the group, she is still at a mid-level level. It would be fine if the person with whom Seohyun was rumored to be having an affair was a well-known artist. The two parties could hype each other up and increase their popularity. But Lee Seungwoo is just a well-known artist.
The key to the rumored college student is that he is in the same school as Xu Xian. If there is a scandal, it will definitely have a negative impact on Xu Xian's popularity.
I heard that Seohyun has recently formed a sub-unit with Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany, who are in the same group, and they are even preparing to release new songs. At this critical moment, the company will naturally not agree to let Seohyun cause a scandal, which will affect the development of the sub-unit.
After all, Xu Xian is Xu Xian, and the company is a company. The company cannot harm its own interests for the sake of Xu Xian's interests.
only……
Cui Xianzhen looked at Li Chengyou, opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
He is one year younger than Li Chengyou. He used to live in the same community. The two grew up together. To be more precise, he followed Li Chengyou since he was a child. It was Li Chengyou who brought him up. Now he has passed the exam again.
They were in the same school, so they had a close relationship, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to secretly photograph Li Chengyou. But doing so was a bit unethical, and Cui Xianzhen would inevitably find it difficult to accept it in his heart.
It always feels... not very authentic.
"Come on, put away your little guilt."
Li Chengyou took a quick look and guessed what Cui Xianzhen was thinking. He shook his head and said: "I used some tricks, but I still have a sense of propriety. Even if I really want to promote a scandal with Xu Xian in the future, it won't be too big for her."
influence.”
Seeing Choi Hyun Jin's lips twitching slightly, as if he didn't believe it, Lee Seung Woo couldn't help but roll his eyes and explained: "When the film is finished and about to be released, I will first release the photos to hype up the scandal. With Girls' Generation's popularity in Korea
, as soon as the photo is posted on the Internet, it won't take a day to become popular. As long as the popularity increases, I will issue a statement to clarify the relationship with Seohyun.
Maybe then there is no need to wait for my clarification at all, and S.M Company will issue a statement first. At that time, Seohyun will cooperate again. She and I have nothing to do with each other, and then Seohyun will be asked to clarify that we are only co-producing movies.
A small disturbance will be suppressed quickly.
And with the added popularity of Seohyun and Girls' Generation, the popularity of our movies will also increase. In short, we can relax and won't cause much trouble.
And...you don't have to think about it.
To take a step back, Xu Xian and I have nothing to do with each other. Except for a few photos, there are no other problems. Even if the scandal is really stirred up, the reporter can't find any evidence, how many days can it be maintained?"
After hearing what Li Chengyou said, Cui Xianzhen thought about it carefully, and it seemed that... it was indeed true.
Li Chengyou shook his head, put away his phone, and said speechlessly: "Okay, don't be too free to think about it. Now the cooperation with Xu Xian is confirmed, and she will send me the money after signing the contract tomorrow. This way
You should also prepare first. Have you finished the leaflet I asked you to make? During these two days, you can go to Chung-Ang University and Sungkyunkwan University to circulate the leaflets and look for actors. I said
You kid, I didn’t bring you into the crew just to give you a free meal. Can you have some professionalism? Don’t do anything unless I tell you to do it.”
"Uh, okay. Then brother, I'm going to prepare it first, and then I'll go to the print shop later."
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work, hurry up."
"Well, that's okay, brother, I'll leave first."
Cui Xianzhen nodded and was about to turn around when he suddenly seemed to think of something again and turned around and said: "By the way, brother, Zhiyun called me yesterday and asked what you have been doing recently? Are you looking for someone too?
Is it time to contact her and meet her?"
"Zhiyun..."
Li Chengyou's expression was startled. A girl with a delicate appearance and long flowing hair appeared in his mind. He paused and nodded: "Okay, I understand. You go and do your work first. I will take care of her affairs."
"Okay, then I'll leave first, brother."
Li Chengyou nodded slightly, watching Cui Xianzhen's figure gradually walking away, then picked up his phone, clicked on the photo album, and looked down.
After half a ring.
Phew~
After letting out a breath, Li Chengyou put away his phone.
No matter how you say it, it's just that the means are cheap, and it's always immoral to scheme behind people's backs.
But Li Chengyou had no choice.
As he said before, he is just an unknown college student who does not take advantage of all available conditions to accumulate advantages. He just waits for the film to ferment naturally after it is released. Who knows how far this film will go without adequate publicity?
Can we still reach the heights of our previous lives?
Say it again.
