When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 140 Ratings Released

They hadn't seen Li Yihua for two days and missed her a little.

Li Renyong also stood up and followed their footsteps.

"Auntie, you're back. You must be tired from the car ride. Do you want to come in and take a rest?"

At this time, Li Renyong didn't know that Li Yihua knew about what happened between him and Bora, and he was still greeting her with a smile.

Looking at Li Renyong, Li Yihua always felt something strange in her heart.

Ayong is a good boy, but he is too young.

She has always believed that one should do things according to one's age.

At Li Renyong's age, he should use his time to study hard.

"Grandma."

After Deok-sun came out, she looked at Lee Il-hwa intently, her face filled with unconcealable joy.

She walked up to Lee Il-hwa and hugged her arms tightly.

Yu Hui stood in front of Li Yihua and was also very happy.

Li Yihua smiled and said, "No, it's too late. I'll take them home. Auntie will bring you some dried mushrooms later."

Paula walked silently to Li Yihua's side, feeling very happy.

"Thank you."

Because of Li Yihua, Li Renyong did not send Paula home.

After Paula left, the other friends also went home.

The originally bustling living room suddenly became quiet.

Coming to the living room, he cleaned up the leftover garbage.

At this time, Huili had not returned home yet.

Every time Li Renyong played with his friends, Huili would go to chat with the three sisters.

When there are adults around, children can't play freely.

After a while, Paula appeared in Li Renyong's home with some dried mushrooms in her hands.

"My grandma dried them herself. My mom asked me to send some over as a thank you gift for taking care of us these past few days."

Li Renyong took it with a smile and said, "What's there to thank for? Tell Aunt Yihua that we will eat well."

After eating Paula’s grandmother’s dried mushrooms, I felt that Paula’s grandmother was my own grandmother.

He would have eaten the dried mushrooms with the utmost respect.

However, as far as I can remember, Grandma Paula passed away about two years later.

After handing the dried mushrooms to Li Renyong, Paula looked around the living room, rolled up her sleeves and began to clean the house.

You know what, a beautiful girl looks beautiful no matter what she does.

Take Paula for example, her movements are light and orderly, as if she is performing an elegant dance.

Li Renyong looked at Paula's busy figure and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He whispered, "Thank you."

Paula looked up and smiled: “If you have time to say thank you, you might as well clean up with me.”

The living room was not big to begin with, and with the two of them working side by side, it became tidy in no time.

Paula looked around, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, it's quite clean. See you tomorrow."

After saying that, she walked out of the room and went home.

At this time, Huili came back.

Li Renyong took out the dried mushrooms and said, "This is from Aunt Yihua."

Huili opened it and took a look. Each dried mushroom was dark brown and irregular in shape, but all were very large.

She lowered her head and sniffed gently, and a unique aroma of dried mushrooms hit her face.

"Yes, this kind of dried mushrooms can't be bought outside."

Li Renyong smiled and said, "Grandma Paula hung them up to dry by herself."

Huili nodded and said, "You must thank me properly when you have the chance in the future."

After that, the two of them washed up and went to bed.

The next day, before dawn, there was a hint of coolness in the air.

The quiet morning was broken by the ringing of the phone in the living room. The shrill sound kept echoing in the empty room, making Li Renyong unable to continue sleeping.

He opened his eyes blearily and looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table.

Shit, it’s only six o’clock.

Paula and the others don't need to eat breakfast in the morning, so Li Renyong doesn't need to get up so early.

Who is calling so early?

The bell rang and then went off, then went off and then rang again.

It was obvious that someone was constantly calling his home phone.

Is it a harassing call?
He buried his head in the quilt, trying to block out the outside interference and continue his sweet dream.

However, the phone continued to ring.

Just then, Huili came out in her pajamas.

She was also woken up by the ringing of the bell.

"Hey?"

"Wait a minute, I'll ask him to come over."

Huili put the phone aside and walked into Li Renyong's bedroom.

"Ayong, Li Cangdong wants you to answer the phone."

It’s Lee Chang-dong again. Doesn’t he know that everyone is sleeping now?
He didn't want to get up or answer the phone, but I could guess it was something related to the movie.

"From Lee Chang-dong's tone, he seems quite anxious."

Li Renyong sat up from the bed, frowned and said, "Got it, I'll go right away."

Arriving in the living room, he picked up the phone and said, "Hello."

Immediately afterwards, a burst of extremely happy laughter came to my ears.

The laughter was like a powerful sound wave, hitting his eardrums and making his ears hurt.

He hurriedly moved the microphone away from his ear, but the laughter still continued to come from the microphone.

After a while, the sound gradually became smaller.

Li Renyong put the microphone to his ear and said weakly, "Uncle Cangdong, do you know what time it is? It's not a good habit to disturb people's sleep."

"Six o'clock, but I have something very happy to share with you. You will be the first person I notify after I get the news."

"I know. I know you are very happy. I heard your laughter. What's the matter?"

That kind of laughter must be caused by someone being unhappy.

"Our movie time ratings, the average ratings for the time period, have exceeded 20%, and the highest ratings have reached 25%."

Then there was another burst of laughter.

You can tell that Lee Chang-dong is very happy.

I don't know whether he is at home or at work now.

However, this result is far from worthy of the quality of this film.

Li Renyong was not happy, but lowered his head and pondered for a while.

They also did a lot of publicity in the early stages, but other TV stations already had very regular audiences.

As a new TV station, BCB TV certainly cannot compare with others in terms of regular audience.

However, Li Renyong was neither very happy nor very disappointed. He said calmly, "I understand."

Hearing this, Li Changdong paused for a moment, and then said in a louder voice: "What do you mean by knowing? This is our result."

For a new director's first movie after joining a TV station, it's already a pretty good viewership rating.

Li Renyong said calmly: "Uncle Cangdong, you have to understand one thing. Although ratings are important, for us, box office is the most important."

Generally speaking, TV series and movies are different.

TV dramas focus on ratings, while movies focus more on box office.
