Chapter 141 Ambition
The biggest difference is that TV series can accumulate audiences. For example, if a TV series is broadcast at 9 o'clock every night, people who like this TV series will automatically sit in front of the TV to watch it before 9 o'clock.

The movie is different, after an hour and a half.

The audience will only discuss whether the movie is good or not, and that's it.

More importantly, TV dramas can cultivate their own prime time if well-made TV dramas are regularly broadcast every Monday night.

After a long time, the audience will easily accept that the TV series broadcast by this TV station at this time are all good.

Movies don't have this advantage.

The length of time makes the two positioned differently.

Li Renyong pays more attention to the box office of the movie. The TV station's ratings are of course important, but they are far less important than the box office.

The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly disappeared.

Lee Chang-dong seemed to be silent.

Li Renyong continued, "Also, Uncle Changdong, are you satisfied with this achievement? With a 20% audience rating, don't you want to be number one? Don't you want others to mention your name, Li Changdong, to represent a guarantee of quality?"

"Is it really possible?"

"Everything depends on human effort. Only by doing it can you have a chance! I am a minor screenwriter, you are a new director, Uncle Ma is an all-round player, and Sister Nanzhu is a fresh graduate. The fact that the four of us can make such a good movie has already proved our value. We can also do more things, and use this time to join the TV station to expand our reputation and make a name for ourselves as directors and screenwriters. You have to understand what our goal is. Is it just to be a qualified director?"

Li Renyong originally wanted to say that Ma Richeng was a handyman, but he felt that it didn't sound good, so he said he was an all-round player.

Whether he is a handyman or an all-round player, it fits his identity very well.

Because he does everything, except the script and filming, he is responsible for everything else.

Lee Chang-dong on the other end of the phone took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it with skillful fingers, and the lighter emitted a bright flame.

He took a deep breath, and suddenly, a thick smoke came out of his mouth, lingering in the air, as if covering his face.

With only 20% viewership, you're already claiming to be number one. Isn't that a bit crazy?
But what Li Renyong said was really tempting.

He is just a new director, can he really become a big director?
From my memory, it seemed like Li Renyong had a very clear goal since the first time we met.

Although he was just a minor, he was determined to do it.

Whether it was introducing Ma Richeng to him, deciding to shoot the movie "This Man From Earth", or deciding to join the TV station, or finding someone to collaborate on a disc, etc.

Lee Chang-dong suddenly realized that since the filming of the movie, all their decisions were made by Lee In-yong.

These decisions have allowed them to develop to where they are today.

From his words, Lee Chang-dong felt a strong ambition.

That's right, ambition.

He suddenly slammed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

If a minor has such great ambitions, why can't I do the same?
He decided to embark on the road of ambition together and sprint towards the highest peak.

"If you come to the TV station this weekend, there may be many cinemas coming to cooperate with you this time."

Li Renyong didn't want to go because he had a barbecue party with his friends on the weekend.

"No, I have other things to do on Saturday. Just let Uncle Ma handle the cooperation. He should be very familiar with these things."

If you encounter problems, you can always go to Ma Richeng for help.

"Sunday, then."

Before Li Renyong could refuse, Li Changdong said, "There are still two roles in the movie Heartbeat that have not been cast yet. Come over and discuss it together."

It was well-reasoned and even set the time on Sunday.

At this time, he had no other reason to refuse.

Having just said those words so solemnly, it seemed that it would be a bad idea to refuse. Li Renyong said with a headache: "Okay, I will leave home on time then."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

After hanging up the phone, Li Renyong returned to the bedroom, lay on the bed, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Since I can't sleep, I'll get up and cook.

Anyway, there is not much time left before school starts.

When I arrived at the kitchen, Huili was already busy.

"Busy working?"

"Well, nothing serious."

Huili didn't ask what happened. Ayong was getting older day by day, and he knew what he should do.

She is not like other parents who always think that their children cannot do this or that.

When Yong is about to make a mistake, all you need to do is give him some pointers or guide him in the general direction.

After they finished breakfast, Li Renyong took some porridge to feed the dog.

Ever since Hyun Dog came to Zhenghuan's house, he has attracted the attention and love of many people in the alley.

Whenever someone comes to Zhenghuan's house, it will first sniff with its nose and then immediately show its closeness to that person.

Li Renyong once suspected that when the virtuous dog grows up and encounters a thief, he will not lead the way directly.

At this time, Paula came out with her schoolbag.

She wore a camel short coat, a green sweater and straight pants.

Paula has always had a good taste. This outfit is not only fashionable, but also a little playful.

Mid-October seems to be the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. The autumn colors have not yet completely faded, but the silence of winter has quietly arrived.

Li Renyong took a deep breath and seemed to be able to feel the smell of autumn leaves and winter wind intertwined together.

Looking at Paula's clothes, Li Renyong suddenly felt a little cold.

"Paula, wait for me for a moment. I need to go home and put on some more clothes."

Paula came to Li Renyong and said with a smile: "Let's go together."

"it is good."

The day passed quickly. After school, Li Renyong took Paula into a taxi to the food market.

Today is Thursday and Saturday is not far away.

He has to use tonight and tomorrow night to prepare the ingredients so that he can grill directly on Saturday.

Although it was already evening, the food market was still bustling with activity.

The street lights were not yet on, and the market was bustling with people, as if the hustle and bustle of the day had not subsided with the arrival of night.

The air is filled with the aroma of various ingredients, and the sounds of hawking and bargaining are endless, interweaving into a symphony of life.

Li Renyong shuttled between the stalls and said with a smile: "Paula, what do you like to eat?"

Paula put her little hand into Li Renyong's pocket and said softly, "It's all right."
