When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 716 Black Phoenix Thunder

Ma Richeng took out a notebook and wrote down the requests one by one: "Anything else you need?"

Li Renyong thought for a moment and said, "There should also be a recent photo of the director, a vertical poster, and preferably five to ten stills. Most importantly, a list of cast and crew members in Chinese and English and subtitle files."

Ma Richeng wrote it down in his notebook: "I'll have someone arrange it."

Zheng Nanzhu looked at the post-production manager who was holding an ashtray and said to them, "Let's go back."

Lee Chang-dong stood up and said, "Okay."

After the figures of several people disappeared, the person in charge put the ashtray back on the table.

"Serving the boss is more tiring than working. I need to take a nap."

He is under a lot of pressure, after all, he is responsible for the work of an entire department.

Now that Lee Chang-dong has asked for a few days' postponement, there's no need to rush.

Back in the office, Li Renyong said, "The film has finished shooting, why didn't you invite me to the wrap-up party? I want to talk more with Song Kanghao. He is a talented person and must be tied down."

Ma Richeng said, "Don't worry, this guy won't get away. Cangdong said that after the movie wins an award, he will hold a wrap-up party in China and invite celebrities in the industry. It will be good for his future career."

Li Renyong nodded and said, "Okay, remember to call me when the time comes. If nothing else, I'll go back. I was only halfway through lunch when you called me here."

Zheng Nanzhu said: "We haven't eaten yet, so it's a good opportunity for us to eat together."

Ma Richeng: Tsk tsk, beautiful women don’t even blush when they lie.

Then, Zheng Nanzhu continued, "Right, Ma Da Manager? Director Li?"

Li Changdong smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat together later. Ayong, we plan to go to France ten days in advance, that is, on the 5th. Can you arrange your time?"

Li Renyong said: "Why leave so early?"

Ma Richeng said: "It's good to go a few days early to connect with the international community. It won't hurt to get to know more people."

Li Renyong said: "Okay, I will definitely take a leave."

It seems that I have to say a few nice words to Teacher Liu later. Didn’t I invite him last time I went to Mashan?
Lee Chang-dong said, "Then I'll have someone book a plane ticket. As soon as the notification of the film's selection comes out, we'll leave."

Submit on the 3rd, there should be news on the 5th.

There are very few films submitted this late now, and the review process is fast.

Cannes in the 80s was far from being as complicated as it is today.

Zheng Nanzhu stood up and picked up her bag and said, "Let's go, Yong must be hungry, I found a new delicious restaurant."

Ma Richeng said, "It can't be a Western restaurant."

Zheng Nanzhu said: "No, it's a military hot pot restaurant."

Hearing this, Li Renyong suddenly thought of Malatang.

But there was no malatang in the peninsula at that time.

It was not until 17 that the first Malatang restaurant appeared in Jiulaodong.

After eating the army hotpot, several people returned to the company.

There is nothing to do at home anyway, so I might as well stay in the company.

……

At 5:30 in the evening, Li Renyong declined several people's invitations to dinner and prepared to go home.

When we returned to the alley, it was already getting light, but not too dark, and it was time for dinner.

Li Renyong arrived home and found Huili was not there. He did not want to cook, so he had to go to Paula's house to have a free meal.

Just as I stepped into Zhenghuan's yard, the sound of a car came from the distance.

Li Renyong turned around and found that Paula had returned.

"Hey, Paula~"

Paula smiled and got out of the car and said, "Hey, Yong."

Li Renyong looked at her twice, pinched her cheeks twice and said, "Why is your face still chubby? It feels good to pinch it."

His face is not cold but warm, so he probably hasn't been working outside.

Paula rolled her eyes, slapped his hand away and said, "You mean I'm fat?"

Li Renyong said: "I mean you are comfortable."

Feeling that there was some ambiguity in the words, he continued: "I mean that you feel very comfortable to touch."

There should be no ambiguity this way, as you are praising her.

"Shut up." Paula said and walked home.

Li Renyong followed behind and said, "Wait for me."

Walking into the yard, Paula said, "Why are you coming to my house if you're not going home for dinner?"

Li Renyong said with a smile: "There's no one at home, so I have no choice but to go to your house for a meal."

The two walked home hand in hand and found Huili and Li Yihua cooking in the kitchen.

Li Renyong: "Mom, why are you here?"

Paula: "Mom, I'm home."

They looked at each other and Huili smiled and said, "Ichika asked us to have dinner together when we got back from the market today."

Li Yihua wiped the gas stove carefully with a towel, looking very careful about it.

"I made spicy soup today, and mud clams."

When Paula heard that there was something she liked to eat, the smile on her face became even brighter.

"I'm here to help."

Huili smiled and said, "No, there's only one soup left, it will be ready soon."

Li Renyong ignored them and went straight to the living room, where he found that everyone was there.

There was a quilt on the floor and it looked warm.

“Yuhui, move aside.”

Sung Dong-il said, "You came back with Bora?"

Li Renyong sat down and said, "I met him on the way."

Deshan said, "Ayong, look what this is."

There was a hint of joy in his voice.

Li Renyong turned around and looked: "Oh, pineapple, when did you buy it?"

Deok Sun put the pineapple away and said, "How did you know? They all thought it was a pineapple."

This thing is actually very easy to distinguish.

Only people who don't eat it often or rarely can't tell the difference.

Just then, Paula walked in and said, “Yuhui, move aside.”

Yuhui had a sad face and moved to the side until he was at the outermost position.

However, under Paula's coercion, he chose to sit opposite the two of them.

Don't sit with them.

Deshan picked up the pineapple again and said, "Sister, look what this is."

Without hesitation, Paula said, "Pineapple."

She heard the conversation between the two of them in the kitchen.

Deok-sun took the pineapple to the kitchen in frustration because she didn't see Bora making a fool of herself.

Originally, when Huili bought this thing home, she wanted to cut it up and eat it.

Deshan specifically said that they would eat it in the evening just to see if Paula recognized it.

Li Renyong tugged at Paula's arm and whispered, "Do you want me to teach you how to pronounce pineapple in Chinese?"

Paula nodded. She was just sitting here watching TV anyway.

"You say it."

Li Renyong nodded and said: "Hey Fenglei~~~"

Paula learned it, but her pronunciation was not quite correct.

“There should be a space between each word, just like singing a song.”

Paula thought this might not be Chinese. She had learned it before, so how could Chinese be like this?

In universities today, Chinese is a compulsory course; otherwise you cannot graduate.

Especially at Inha University in Incheon, the compulsory Chinese course is called Practical Chinese.

Although the Chinese they learned had been revised, it did not hinder Paula's understanding.
