    Early the next morning, Li Zhengxi woke up from the tent. This was his first time sleeping in a tent, which was quite new.  Kim Tae Hee was holding one of his hands, lying curled up next to him, sleeping soundly. However, when he moved a little, the girl woke up, and then she hugged his neck directly, wrapping her whole body around him.  .  After a passionate kiss, Kim Taixi asked him in a lazy tone, "What time is it? Are you going to work soon?" Li Zhengxi raised his wrist and looked at it, shaking his head, "It's still early, it's only six o'clock now  "More," but Jin Taixi immediately got up, holding his hand, and said softly: "It's getting late, you have to arrive at the scene at nine o'clock, we have to go back, and then you have to wash up, put on makeup, pick out clothes and so on  "Yes!" Li Zhengxi was surprised by her reaction, because she was usually very clingy. After frowning a little, he held her in his arms and said softly, "What's wrong?" He looked at her and shook her head with a gentle smile.  He smiled, "I don't know you yet, tell me, let's face it together!" "Huh!" Jin Taixi curled her lips, lightly punched him, and said softly: "It's nothing, I just want it.  Be someone who can help you! " Li Zhengxi smiled, and instantly understood that it was probably because she was close to Zhang Xizhen, or she was infected by the words she heard directly, and he patted her cheek affectionately,  Said: "Taixi, listen, everyone's personality and situation are different. Therefore, everyone should have their own different life. For you, you don't need to compromise for me. You just need to be able to find ways to make things better.  Just live your own relaxed and happy lifestyle, be yourself and do what you like best. For example, acting, being a fashion designer, being a company manager, whatever you want, as long as you are happy, then I will be happy too.  That's you, Kim Tae Hee" After Li Zhengxi finished speaking, Kim Tae Hee was stunned for a while.  Then he pouted and said: "But, you are so good, I'm afraid I can't keep up with your pace!" "No, you haven't understood yet. Baby!" Li Zhengxi shook his head with a smile, "You are Kim Taixi, I  It's Li Zhengxi. We all have our own temperaments, but we are very happy together, and this happiness is not obtained by sacrificing one of us to accommodate the other. Everything in the past proved it, didn't it?  Smarter than you, baby, we love each other. That's the most important thing!" Kim Tae Hee nodded, but Li Zhengxi said again: "Don't think too much, remember, I love you forever!"  Kim Tae Hee's eyes finally lit up.  She also smiled, and then hugged his neck tightly.  He whispered softly: "I love you too, always!" Lee Jung Hee came back mainly to promote the movie "Friends". Since there were only three days, the schedule was quite tight. In the morning, he accepted interviews from KBS and "Chosun Ilbo"  After the interview, I went to Seoul National University for an event in the afternoon. At almost four o'clock, it was the recording of MBC's celebrity interview program "Star Night".  This time, it¡¯s not just him alone, but also director Guo Jingze and starring Jang Dongjian. The lineup is very strong.  Guo Jingze and Zhang Dongjian have been running various promotions these days. Today, the three of them met for the first time.  Before the show even started, we met and everyone started chatting backstage.  "Last time I heard that you went to the Oscars, I was quite surprised!" Guo Jingze smiled and patted Li Zhengxi on the arm, a very close gesture, smiled boldly, and praised: "It's still the same as before, I won't stop talking without surprising you.  , you really surprised and delighted me while watching the live broadcast! " "You can just treat him as the KBS acting award!" Lee Jung Hee said with a smile, and then greeted Zhang Dongjian, "Thank you for your hard work these days!  " "Where!" Zhang Dongjian admired and respected Li Zhengxi. This young man is really amazing. "You must be very busy recently. You are filming movies, publishing books, and have various schedules.  " "I'm a very lazy person!" Li Zhengxi smiled and took the coffee from Zhang Dongjian and said: "For example, if I publish a book, I will write it and publish it, but this time, I will not go out to promote it.  , So, there are still many people saying that I am a big name!" Guo Jingze laughed, "They are just envious and jealous people. They really see that your books are selling so well!" He said.  I sighed with emotion, "The sales are really great. We are selling like crazy here. Of course, the books are really good!" If the books sell well and the quality is good, the sales will naturally be rolling in.  With financial resources, Guo Jingze had to sigh at the power of the young man in front of him, and of course, his courage. Although the cost of filming the movie "Friends" was less than 5 billion won after he increased it, the publicity cost cost ten billion.  Five hundred million.  1.5 billion, now the whole of South Korea can?There are only a handful of people who spend so much money to make movies. When Guo Jingze heard this number, he was a little stupid, thinking that he had mentioned an extra zero.  There are really too many. Of course, the director couldn't be happier that the production company can spend more money for promotion. This proves that the company thinks his work is good and has high expectations.  Look at it now, two months ago, this film started to be promoted, and a month ago, it slowly started to reach its peak. In half a month, it was already popular all over Korea, and every corner of it was everywhere.  There are promotional posters, interviews, introductions on various TV stations, radio stations, magazines, newspapers, etc.  It was overwhelming and swept everything. Guo Jingze had never seen anyone so crazy and dare to spend money like this. To be honest, he had no foundation at all. He just watched Li Zhengxi make hundreds of millions of dollars with just one book.  , and it was just the beginning, so he regarded it as a young man's madness.  "It's like when two people talked about making a movie at the beginning. At that time, the young people in front of them had no money at all. Then, they both went crazy. Now, since they have money, it doesn't matter if they are willful.  Of course, this kind of willfulness stirred up his heart, and he had a great time making movies without any restrictions.  After filming, I cut it myself and then it came out.  This young man spent most of his money on publicity, what is that, trust.  From the beginning to the end, there is always absolute trust between people, or for him, this is nothing more precious.  Li Zhengxi in front of him didn't know Guo Jingze's mood.  He smiled and said a few words of modesty, as if he were joking.  "Aren't we afraid of being poor? If we want to make a movie, we need money. We have no choice but to sell some books first to make some money!" This statement made both Guo Jingze and Zhang Dongjian laugh.  I feel in my heart that the guy in front of me is awesome, but I have no idea about the prospects of the movie "Friends". It is impossible for me to have a relaxed attitude like Lee Jung Hee for the time being.  ¡°After all, no matter how rich, trustworthy or generous you are, if you use it to make a movie, you still need to repay it if there is no repayment.  The responsibility lies with the director and actors.  In South Korea, this is a very common imagination, once a movie loses money.  The director and actors will be criticized, and then it will be difficult to think of the next work. This is why the director and actors are under great pressure.  But they didn¡¯t know how high the box office of ¡°Friends¡± would be, and why Lee Chung-hee was willing to spend 1.5 billion Korean won like crazy.  The reason is that he still has a little extravagant hope.  The original work didn¡¯t have much publicity, and it was even difficult to release.  But the box office ultimately relied on word-of-mouth to reach about 8.4 million moviegoers.  Now, after vigorous publicity, without the help of major labels, theaters are now open to the public. So, it is still possible to break through 10 million moviegoers. In this case, it will be a new record, better than 840  Even more dazzling.  ¡° Moreover, through this vigorous publicity move, the fledgling distribution department of Empire Film Company has more confidence to communicate with theaters, and then, it can also mature the distribution team faster.  These are his real goals, only 1.5 billion won. It might have been a lot before, but now it is as light as a feather.  Soon, the recording time of the program came. After the host Shen Gongyun made some opening remarks, the three Li Zhengxi walked out one by one. Li Zhengxi was the first, Guo Jingze was the second, and Zhang Dongjian was the third.  This kind of arrangement is very particular. Generally speaking, the last one is always the heaviest, and the one at the beginning also needs to be looked at. Originally, Zhang Dongjian said that he was the first one, because he felt that Li Zhengxi's current status was higher than his  high.  But Lee Chung Hee said that in the movie "Friends", he is the protagonist, so everyone settled on it.  Because it is a recording, although most things follow the process, it is much more relaxed and casual overall. After all, editing is required after recording. Even for super big names, after editing, they have to be confirmed by the big name¡¯s agent.  There must be no content that may damage the image of the star.  "Let's talk about the three of you first," Shen Gongyun sat on the sofa and said casually, "We have heard too many rumors about this movie, including some things about Dr. Li and Director Guo.  Can you tell me more specifically? " "Actually, I was very surprised at first!" After Li Zhengxi asked him to speak first, Guo Jingze continued with a smile: "Because I don't know this person at all, and I have never heard of this company.  "So, when Representative Zhang came to deliver the script, I actually planned to refuse it at first." "Later, Representative Zhang specifically told me that it was about the story in Busan, and it was what I was good at.  That kind of documentary style, so I took a look at it, ?Finally, I found that the script was very profound and exciting, and it moved me especially, so I asked about it a little bit.  But still, when I asked about it, I was shocked. He was only eighteen years old, but his academic qualifications were very scary. He actually had a PhD from Harvard. However, his academic qualifications were useless. He sounded like a nerd!  " As he spoke, amidst everyone's laughter, he continued: "Especially when I knew that the company was very small and had little money, I was very worried. Then, Dr. Li came to talk to me specifically to talk about stories and movies.  , talking about production and money. Of course, the so-called money is a castle in the air, which means it looks beautiful, but in fact it is not there yet!  ¡± Amidst everyone¡¯s laughter again, he himself also laughed, ¡°But, his enthusiasm touched me a little. I didn¡¯t have any plans at the time, and I really liked the script, so I thought, let¡¯s accompany him.  Go crazy, just think that I am young again, and then, I think many people know what happened next. The gambling contract he signed with Tube Entertainment just started from the episode "The Curse"  I received a salary of more than 3 billion Korean won for the movie. In this way, the movie had money before it was officially shot!  " "So, this is a big gamble for you!  Shen Gongyun asked with a smile at this time: "Then have you considered the consequences of failure?"  " "Because I like the script, I just thought at that time that if I failed, it would be in vain. Although Dr. Li said that he would compensate me for all losses," Guo Jingze chuckled, "I didn't know at that time that he was so capable now.  Money, so it¡¯s really passionate like a game, let¡¯s go crazy once!  " Over there, Li Zhengxi continued with a smile: "Actually, this cannot be regarded as a big gamble. From an economic point of view, this is just a high-risk venture investment!  " Shen Gongyin chuckled, "It sounds almost the same, it seems like it's just changed to a more elegant term!  " Everyone laughed, and Li Zhengxi also smiled and shrugged, and then spread his hands, "Well, in a normal sense, it can be said that they are almost the same, but from a strict economic point of view, there are differences between them.  It is completely so-called luck. He does not have any effective measures to ensure the realization of the goal. However, in venture capital, no matter how high the risk is, he still has a complete set of plans to serve the goal. However, the possibility of success is relatively low.  The predictability is very low!  " "When you say this, I understand!  "Shen Gongyuan nodded, and when everyone was also stunned, he said: "As expected, he has a doctorate in economics. Even if it is a big gamble, he will have professional terminology to explain it!  ¡± In Li Zhengxi¡¯s helpless shrug, everyone laughed again. Of course, this was just a joke. From here, everyone had to admire that he is a doctor after all, and his way of talking and doing things is different. This will happen invisibly.  To increase Lee Chung-hee¡¯s weight in the minds of the audience, Koreans respect knowledgeable people the most. ¡°What about you, Dr. Lee, why did you find Director Guo?  "Shen Gongyun continued the topic. "As I told Director Guo, I have watched his "Yisou Bathhouse" and "Doctor K". That style is what "Friends" needs, and his talent is so outstanding.  , I don¡¯t think there is anyone else more suitable than him!  " "But you had no money at the time?  "Shen Gongyun's question made everyone laugh again. "Li Zhengxi shrugged and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, because I know that Director Guo doesn't care about money at all. It turned out that he is a cute lunatic like me!"  ¡± Suddenly, everyone laughed again! (To be continued)
