When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 318: The Advocate

"When everyone is unable to protect themselves, we should be at the forefront."

"Why is there a trial if this is the case? Where is the justice in this country?"

These lines were like a sharp knife, engraved deeply into his heart.

Unconsciously, Lee Chang-dong's tears flowed silently.

South Korea today is exactly the same as described in the script, and some things are even worse than in the script.

The sense of immersion is too strong.

For so many years, people have just been protesting silently.

is that useful?
There were even millions of people marching in Seoul, but no one paid any attention to them.

The weak have no right to cry out.

What is happening in this script is exactly what is happening in this era.

Lee Chang-dong wiped the tears from his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Nanzhu is right, this movie cannot be made."

Ma Richeng opened his eyes wide, completely unaware of what was happening.

It seemed that the content of the script shocked both of them.

He stood up and said with a smile: "Look at you two, a grown man is crying, let me see what Ayong wrote."

Ma Risheng cursed with a smile and took the script.

After reading it, his face turned serious.

It can be seen that several people don't want to make this movie.

Regardless of whether it makes money or not, the main thing is that it is a bit dangerous.

The movie "The Attorney" mainly tells the epitome of human rights under the dictatorship of "Quan" in 1981.

"Is this the Bulin incident described?"

Li Renyong put down his coffee and said, "Yes, I was still young that year. You should have experienced it. What was the final verdict?"

As soon as the words fell, several people fell silent.

After a while, Zheng Nanzhu said, "Seven years."

"Yes, how many seven years are there in a lifetime? College students were arrested before they even graduated. What can they do after they are released? It can be said that their entire lives are completely ruined. Do you think those 19 people are really guilty?"

After that, there was silence again.

"They should be heroes, sacrificing themselves for the democratic movement, just like the many college students in Seoul who are marching and demonstrating every day. They are also heroes."

Li Changdong raised his head and stared at Li Renyong.

"What you said is all right, but why do we want to make this movie? Can't we change to another subject?"

Ma Richeng said, "Ayong, do we have to shoot? I heard that Quan and the current Lu have a good relationship. In this country, they are the ones who cover the sky with one hand."

Li Renyong smiled and said, "Who knows what their relationship is like? I would rather believe that this is a rumor. Lu's actions are completely different from Quan's. At least he is willing to make democratic reforms."

Li Renyong knew in his previous life that the two had a good relationship.

But what many people don’t know is that the two of them became enemies in 88.

Although Lu used to be Quan's subordinate and inherited his political legacy, the pressure from the civil democracy struggle was too great.

The situation suddenly changed during the Olympic Games.

The two of them had known each other since they were young.

Later we became classmates, and it can be said that our friendship lasted a lifetime.

Unfortunately, once you enter the world, you have no choice.

When the whole country was clamoring for liquidation rights, Lu finally made his choice.

The friendship between the two ended here.

We can also understand that from the perspective of power, you have been promoted by me throughout your life. I have given you everything and even regarded you as my successor.

As a result, as soon as you came to power, you put me under house arrest.

Who can bear this.

The plot is so convoluted that it could be made into a movie.

This is also the reason why Lee has the courage to shoot The Attorney at this time. If it was in 87, the idea of ​​shooting this movie would not have even come up.

Li Renyong knew this, but others didn't.

Lee Chang-dong sat quietly at his desk, a cigarette between his fingers.

Pick up your lighter and light the end of your cigarette.

He took a delicious puff.

The smoke rose slowly, lingering around him, hiding Lee Chang-dong's furrowed brows.

His face seemed a little blurry in the smoke.

"Ayong, no one dares to film this script, not even any cinema dares to show it. Wait a few years, until the situation calms down before filming."

Li Renyong sneered, there is no such thing as a calming down in South Korea.

When today's affairs are dealt with, other affairs will happen tomorrow.

Which one always has a good ending?

"Films are fundamentally human artistic creations, and we should have a sense of social responsibility. Let's not talk about me, let's talk about Uncle Changdong and Sister Nanzhu, you should have a lot of fans now. There are so many low-level movies on the market now, what can they bring to the audience? I think movies should be able to reflect social phenomena, guide the audience's values, explore social issues, and pass on culture. No one did this before, but now. I, Li Renyong, will take the first step!!!"

Li Renyong stood in front of the table, his voice steady and powerful.

Every word came with an irresistible force and landed with a deafening sound.

This concept did not exist in the 80s.

People only see movies as a tool to make money. A few years ago, movies were just a propaganda tool for the government.

Li Renyong's words are like a sharp sword, pointing directly into everyone's heart.

There was silence in the office.

Lee Chang-dong was smoking a cigarette with a frown on his face.

Ma Richeng looked at the script, pinching his chin, not knowing what he was thinking.

Zheng Nanzhu looked up at Li Renyong, his figure reflected in her pupils.

Clear and bright.

If he had a choice, Li Renyong would rather go to Japan.

What kind of movie can't be made in Japan?
If you make a mistake, you should bow and apologize immediately.

In Korea, it is really...

He stuffed the script into his bag and walked to the door.

"I'm determined to take the photo. Please think about it. I'm going on a school trip in a few days. When I come back, tell me your decision."

After saying that, he walked out the door without waiting for their reply.

After leaving the TV station, Li Renyong held his stomach and felt a little hungry.

I had almost nothing to eat except some coffee early in the morning.

If I had known this earlier, I should have had breakfast at home before coming here.

There probably isn't any breakfast store at this time.

Just then, Zheng Nanzhu's shouting came from behind.

"Ayong, wait for me."

Li Renyong turned around and saw that Zheng Nanzhu didn't care about her image at all.

Run here with big strides.

Her long hair fluttered in the wind, with a few strands sticking to her cheeks.

A pair of slender legs swung quickly, not caring about other people's eyes at all.

When she came to Li Renyong, her face was faintly flushed due to exercise, like peach blossoms in early spring.

His right hand was on Li Renyong's shoulder, breathing slightly heavily.

"Why are you walking so fast?"
