When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 344 Cheng Dongyi's First Love
TV station, Lee Chang-dong's office.

Li Renyong sat on the sofa, crossed his legs and drank coffee comfortably.

"Sister Nanzhu's coffee-making skills are getting better and better. What do you think?"

Li Changdong frowned and said: "No, I have to..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Renyong put the coffee on the table and stood up.

"I see."

The voice was calm, yet contained a hint of determination.

What is a partner?
Only those who make progress together are partners.

If we can enjoy together but cannot share risks, what kind of partnership are we?

Li Renyong knew that the risk this time was a bit high, so he did not force it, but he just felt some alienation in his heart.

Zheng Nanzhu pressed him on the sofa and said, "Don't leave. You haven't finished talking yet."

Then, he glared at Lee Chang-dong and said, "Stop teasing him and tell us what we mean."

Zheng Nanzhu has a unique charm when she is angry.

Li Renyong was not in any mood to appreciate it, but instead stared at Li Changdong.

Ma Richeng smiled and said, "Ayong is like this. Once he makes a decision, he will do it immediately. Lao Li, tell me quickly."

"It's not funny at all. We are a team and of course we have to make progress together."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Li Renyong's face.

The barrier in my heart suddenly disappeared.

"I knew I could trust you."

Zheng Nanzhu sat on the sofa and said, "It's a pity that after inviting actors to audition, many people said they would not participate after reading the script."

Ma Richeng said: "We have found quite a few supporting roles, and they are all from our own company. But there is still a lot to be desired. For example, no one wants to play the role of the aunt who runs the restaurant. Even if the pay is increased, no one is willing to do it."

After all, it is a sensitive film, and no one will be cast in the film who is related to those events.

All are not fools.

He looked at Li Renyong with some resentment.

Our own agency has regulations that prohibit forcing artists to participate in programs they don’t want to participate in.

Although this regulation has enabled the company to grow and develop, it has also restricted itself.

For example, nowadays, if we lack a leading actor, we have to invite actors from other places.

Just then, Li Renyong suddenly thought of someone.

"Any recommendations for actor Lee Kyung-seok?"

Ma Richeng quickly took the actor book and began to look for it, but couldn't find it.

Zheng Nanzhu stood up and said, "Is it Li Jingshi who participated in "Wooden Fish Husband Ninja"? I remember her. She seemed to be a comedian."

"Comedian?!"

Ma Richeng's voice suddenly rose, with a hint of disdain.

What is a comedian?
They are just a group of people who make people happy.

No skills, no bottom line.

I'll do anything to make people laugh.

The chain of contempt in the entertainment industry is roughly folk artists > film industry > TV drama industry > comedians and idols.

Basically at the bottom.

"Uncle Ma seems to look down on comedians?"

Ma Richeng quickly shook his head. Although the entire industry despised them, they couldn't say it out loud.

This is called integrity and correctness.

"I understand. I remember that an idol was invited to "Fall in Love" before. It seemed okay. It's great that someone is participating this time. Do you have her phone number? Please make an appointment for me at noon."

If a TV station wants someone's phone number, it's very easy.

The situation is now very good.

The script is ready, the progress of the script is good, the actors have begun to gradually take their places, and the budget is very sufficient.

You can definitely start shooting.

"Shoot the other parts first, and I'll take care of the remaining actors."

After Li Renyong finished speaking, he walked out the door.

Zheng Nanzhu stood up and said, "Do you want to show the script to Lu Feng? After all, he is the head of the TV station, maybe he can help."

Within a year or two, he was promoted to director of the production bureau responsible for both TV series and movies.

He is considered a senior executive within the TV station.

Li Renyong thought about it and finally decided not to tell him for the time being.

It’s not too late to talk to him after the filming.

By then, we will need his help. "No, start shooting as soon as possible, we have to be online in Jiuzheng."

Lee Chang-dong said he understood.

It was released on the Chinese New Year’s Day and it can be said that the number of viewers was the highest.

"I'll go find someone first. You guys are busy. I'm leaving it to you guys."

Zheng Nanzhu smiled and said, "I'll go with you."

Li Renyong shook his head and said, "No, I'll take care of things first and come back to you in a few days."

……

MBC TV station.

At this time, Li Jingshi was a semi-newcomer. Since his debut in 87, he participated in "Muyufu Ninja" and became popular for a while.

However, starting from 88, she seemed to have bad luck and no one was willing to cooperate with her.

Apart from participating in some variety shows, he has not appeared in any film or television drama.

Who wants to be a comedian when you can be a serious actor?
Why choose her?

Because this was Cheng Dongyi's first love from Mashan, Li Renyong had met her several times when he was a child.

After entering junior high school, we lost contact.

Compared to other actors, it does have something to do with him.

Go and give it a try. Even if it doesn’t work, just treat it as a way to keep in touch.

"Jingshi, you didn't have dinner with Changhao last night?"

Li Jingshi glanced at his agent and said nothing.

I just finished participating in a variety show and I am very tired. Now I just want to take a nap.

His development was originally going well. As long as no major problems occurred and he developed steadily, he would have been able to secure a place in the entertainment industry.

Unfortunately, the company has no vision and forces me to eat with this person and that person.

At that time, she was still a newcomer and just thought it was just a simple meal.

Who knew that once he was photographed by the paparazzi, he would immediately be labeled in a bad light.

Competitors even framed their own reputation.

It has been two years now, and she is no longer the reckless and innocent newcomer.

Is that eating?
Dirty, so dirty.

This crappy economic company is leaving when its contract expires.

In the spirit of waste utilization, the economic company no longer has any resources to devote to her.

The agent sighed and continued, "Forget about Changhao's matter, but at noon, you have to accompany a screenwriter for lunch. As long as he can help you write a movie script, you will be famous."

Hearing this, Li Jingshi was very angry.

She is not a hostess who accompanies this man and that man every day.

When the agent saw that she didn't say anything, he immediately raised his voice.

"This is a company arrangement. You haven't seen anyone this week. If you don't want to, figure out if you can afford the penalty."

In addition to anger, Li Jingshi also felt a little sad.

She just wants to act, what's wrong with that?

There is still one year left, and after one year, she will definitely leave this economic company.

Pooh!
"Time, address!"

There was a hint of grief and anger in his voice.

What she didn't know was that things were still good in this era.

If in the future, in the entire Korean entertainment industry, 40% of female actors have been kissed, and 60% of actors have had sexual relations.

If you pay a little attention, you will see how dark it is.

The agent smiled and said, "Lotte Hotel, 11:30 pm, you can take a short break after lunch."

Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

Maybe she felt that forcing it might not be good, so she immediately comforted him: "At our age, the main thing is to make money. It's good to make more money, don't you think?"

Li Jingshi ignored her and looked at herself in the mirror, preparing to remove her makeup and go out.

……

Half past eleven.

Li Jingshi sat in a private room feeling a little uneasy. There was no one there except her.

The dishes on the table were totally unappetizing.

She didn't know whether the man was young or old, or even handsome or ugly.
