When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 346 Bring me my ginseng wine

The main topics are about the current development of the film industry.

Many of Li Renyong's ideas were refreshing to him.

If Li Renyong hadn't said goodbye repeatedly, Yin Taihe would even want to have dinner with him in the evening and continue communicating.

Walking on the road, Li Renyong kept thinking with his head down.

Where can I find the leading actor?

Ordinary actors would certainly not seek trouble for themselves, but he was unwilling to use those with a bad reputation or poor acting skills.

The protagonist is so righteous that if an actor with a bad reputation is used, it will directly affect the quality of the entire movie.

What he needs is a protagonist with great charisma, a protagonist who can carry the entire play, rather than an ordinary protagonist-type actor.

When we arrived at the set, it was already past five o'clock and the actors had already gone home.

Today we just let them familiarize themselves with the script and shoot some simpler shots.

Zheng Nanzhu saw the person coming, stood up and said, "Ayong, you're back? How's everything going?"

There are not many female characters in this movie, except for the restaurant owner and the victims' families.

In order to support Li Renyong, she wants to play this role.

It's a bit exaggerated for a big actor to play a minor role.

Li Renyong smiled and said, "The actor issues have been dealt with."

"Then why are you sighing and looking unhappy?"

"It's just that there's no one to star in the film. Oh, and where are Uncle Cangdong and Uncle Ma?"

It is common for plans to encounter difficulties.

But, just try to solve it.

Zheng Nanzhu looked at her watch and said, "They will be back soon. Uncle Ma went to find the filming location and props supplier. Uncle Cangdong filmed some scenes in the afternoon and should be back by now."

As soon as he finished speaking, two people walked in.

Ma Richeng's forehead was covered with sweat, it seemed that he had been running all day.

"Everything has been taken care of, just waiting for the filming."

As the team's chief manager, he abandoned his previous mercenary character.

Whenever you spend money, you always have to bargain.

This time, it was all about money.

In less than a day, all issues were resolved.

In fact, there are subordinates who can do this kind of thing.

However, he was worried and had to handle it himself.

Lee Chang-dong was fine, the filming work was easy.

When the two found out that there was no one to play the leading role, they looked a little distressed.

Zheng Nanzhu smiled and said, "Let's eat first. It's five o'clock. After dinner, we can all look for it together."

"No, start looking now. I need to be back at half past six."

I have to go home for dinner in the evening.

Sung Dong-il entertains Uncle Kim and he has to be there.

Zheng Nanzhu nodded and went to move the information with Ma Richeng.

The cast is mainly male, in their thirties.

The range is greatly reduced.

Li Renyong felt that this one was not suitable, and that one was too young, and he could never pick one that satisfied him.

He even started asking if there were any pink movies being made.

It was unanimously opposed by everyone.

Comedians are the last line of defense. If the lead actor is that kind of person, the meaning changes.

The four of them didn't mind the trouble, after all, this was a movie that Li Renyong attached great importance to.

Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters.

I struggled for an hour, eliminating one after another.

After searching everywhere without any results, the only option left was to try looking for people who had retired from the film and television industry.

Just then, he thought of someone.

"Do you have Zheng Chengpu's contact information?"

This guy used to promote his own actors on the set and had his own agency.

Two years have passed, and I don’t know how it’s developing?
As soon as the words were spoken, several people had no impression of them at all.

Li Renyong then reminded, “It was Han Yijie’s agent who competed with Li Miyan when we invited actors to audition.”

Zheng Nanzhu thought about it and said, "I remember now. I'll look for the contact information."

There are definitely no business cards.

I don't know how many of these I receive every day. The contact information for cooperation is all available internally.

Soon, Zheng Nanzhu found the contact information.

"This person seems to have disappeared recently, and there is no movement in the industry."

Li Renyong said, "Give him a call and see if he can get through."

“Understand. Hopefully his company is still holding on.”

Zheng Nanzhu pressed a few number buttons and heard a "beep" sound coming from the microphone.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Time passed slowly and the call was still not connected.

Li Renyong showed a trace of disappointment. The contact information was the company's. There was only one reason why he couldn't get through, and that was the company went bankrupt.

"Hello? Who are you looking for?"

Zheng Nanzhu quickly handed the phone to Li Renyong.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Zheng Chengpu?"

"Correct."

"I'm Li Renyong, can we chat?"

Zheng Chengpu on the other end of the phone said ecstatically, "Yes, of course. Where are you? I'll go find you now."

Li Renyong never expected the other party to be so excited.

"I'll wait for you in Guitian at 8 o'clock in the evening."

This place is not far from Ssangmun-dong and is close to Gyeongbokgung Palace.

Since you are asking for help, at least find a nice restaurant.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Chengpu muttered excitedly, "There's hope, there's hope."

The current film industry is the kind where you can make money with your eyes closed.

Although there are no high-quality movies, there are many small movies that need a lot of actors.

But, he is not a black, so he can’t make money.

He doesn't want his actors to act in those crappy movies, so his company is about to go bankrupt.

Many people called him stupid, and even his wife at home was cold to him.

However, he just has persistence and bottom line in his heart.

……

"Is it appropriate at this late hour? Otherwise, I'll go too."

Zheng Nanzhu looked worried.

Li Renyong smiled and said, "No, I'll go alone."

In fact, he originally wanted to say nine o'clock so that he could spend more time with his family.

But at that time, it was too late after the chat.

……

Ssangmundong Alley.

Li Yihua prepared a lot of rich ingredients tonight.

When guests come to your house, you can't just give them potatoes and kimchi. You have to have some meat dishes.

Fortunately, all the neighbors knew about this, especially Ms. Luo, who contributed two meat dishes.

Yellow croaker and spare ribs.

The other families also brought over a dish.

This touched Li Yihua a little, and she just cooked a meal of rice and other simple dishes.

Deok-sun looked at the ribs in front of her and reached out to take them.

Before he got it, Li Yihua patted him on the shoulder.

"Your dad hasn't gotten off work yet, and Ayong hasn't come yet, what are you going to eat?"

Deok Sun smiled and didn't care at all.

She found the camera last night and has been showing off all day with a smile on her face.

Soon, everyone returned home and sat in the living room.

The small living room was a bit crowded.

Lee Il-hwa and Bora were even pressed together, with no room to move.

Cheng Dongri shouted, "Go and get my ginseng wine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Deshan had a bad feeling in his heart.
