When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 763 Me too

Sometimes, stories about losers are more attractive to readers than those about winners.

The reporters gradually dispersed and turned to other directors and actors.

……

Double doorway.

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Seven o'clock in the evening in France is four o'clock in the afternoon on the peninsula, a difference of about eight hours between the two countries.

The children gathered in Aze's room to watch the live broadcast of the award ceremony.

They asked for leave and Teacher Liu agreed, saying that it was only for today so the children could relax.

Jung Hwan sat cross-legged on the floor, holding a bag of potato chips in his hands.

Deok-sun sat next to him, stealing some potato chips from time to time.

Every time I steal some potato chips, I always smile.

The two of them were well aware of this action, and it seemed to be a little romance between them.

Liu Donglong and others sat on one side.

The Hongda awards ceremony was being broadcast on TV.

How can we normally see such a scene? Camera lights are flashing, the venue is grand, and famous directors and actors gather together.

Their lives are in the alleys and schools.

Even if Aze won the award, there wouldn’t be such a grand scene.

The Go game is just played in a small house.

When you come out, take a picture with your camera.

Everyone was very excited.

In addition to excitement, there is also a sense of honor.

Look, my friend Ayong went to a foreign country to receive an award on stage.

"It's started, it's started! It's Yong's turn to go on stage."

Deok-sun sat up straight and almost dropped the potato chips.

On the TV screen, Li Renyong stood on the stage in a neat suit.

When he gave his acceptance speech, he thanked this and thanked that.

When Deok-sun heard her name, she danced with excitement.

"Did you hear that? He's thanking me..."

Liu Donglong casually said, "Thank you for what? Special Forces Team, thank you for eating a lot?"

Deok-sun was so angry that she threw the pillow away.

"Hey!"

Liu Donglong grabbed the pillow and put it aside.

"Ayong also thanked me. He just heard my name."

Jung Hwan deadpanned, “You two, be quiet.”

Shanyu smiled and said, "Ayong should be back the day after tomorrow, Aze, are you going to participate in the finals that day?"

Aze sat in the corner: "The final will be on the 28th, we can see it."

After watching for a while, a scene suddenly appeared on the screen showing Li Renyong being surrounded by reporters. His embarrassed escape caused laughter to break out in the room.

Only Deok-sun was angrier.

"Paula is not a lover, she is Yong's girlfriend, why didn't Yong refute him."

Liu Donglong imitated the reporter's tone: "Excuse me, screenwriter Li, when will you and Miss Paula get married?"

Laughter was heard from the small bedroom.

Likewise, the adults gathered at Jung-hwan’s house to watch the live broadcast.

After the show, Ms. Luo said they would get together in the evening and have a drink to celebrate.

As for the Peninsula film industry, it caused an extraordinary sensation.

Everyone knows that Li Renyong and others went to the Cannes Film Festival, but they didn't expect to win the Palme d'Or.

What was even more unexpected was that I was also awarded the Legion of Honor.

This is the first time in the peninsula.

Strictly speaking, it directly broke the pattern of the Peninsula film industry.

In recent years, the film industry has been booming due to the relaxed censorship.

But no outstanding talents emerged.

Directors like Bong Joon-ho and Park Chan-wook became great directors after 2000.

The more outstanding directors nowadays are Kim Ki-duk, Hong Sang-soo, and Im Kwon-taek.

Even if it is excellent, it is only in the local area.

Lee Chang-dong and others made a big mistake and walked ahead of everyone.

The meaning of this is self-evident. One step faster, every step faster.

From now on, no matter who you are or how old you are, you must call others seniors.

No matter what media it is, entertainment news or serious news, they are all reporting on this matter.

This is something that brings glory to the country.

……

In front of Paula's hotel room.

"Ding dong!"

Li Renyong pressed the doorbell.

The door opened faster than he thought.

Paula was wearing a loose sweater and her hair was scattered behind her head, revealing her collarbone clearly.

She glanced at the trophy and said with a smile, "The great screenwriter is back?"

Li Renyong shook the trophy and said, "Someone has to witness the historic moment. Have you seen this Palme d'Or? I borrowed it from Uncle Cangdong. You didn't see how dark his face was at that time. It was as if someone had been robbed of his money."

After saying that, he walked into the room.

This is a house with a terrace overlooking the sea.

On the TV screen is TF1, the channel that broadcasts the Cannes Film Festival.

Paula picked up the remote and turned off the TV.

The real person is here, there is no need to watch TV anymore.

"How's it going? Your boyfriend is awesome, isn't he?"

Paula followed up and said, "It's quite impressive."

The love guide says that when a man achieves certain achievements, appropriate compliments can promote feelings.

Hearing this, Li Renyong became even happier.

One compliment from Paula is more comforting than a hundred compliments from anyone else.

Li Renyong threw the trophy on the bed, opened his hands naturally, with a smile on his lips and anticipation in his eyes.

Paula stood a few steps away, looking at his outstretched hands, her heart beating faster unconsciously.

She was all too familiar with this move.

Whenever I want to hug, I always open my arms.

Paula pursed her lips, her cheeks slightly red, but she still walked over.

Li Renyong's height increased rapidly and he was already much taller than her.

She had to tilt her head up slightly as she approached.

Li Renyong put his arms around her shoulders and pulled her into his arms.

Paula rested her forehead on his chest, feeling his warmth.

The two hugged each other tightly.

Li Renyong lowered his head and rubbed his nose against her hair.

"miss you."

Paula closed her eyes and felt the slight vibration of his chest when he spoke on her cheeks.

"Me too."

She responded softly, her voice muffled by his clothes: "I heard that when you fell into the sea, it felt like you were very far away from me."

Li Renyong didn't say anything, but stroked her head.

The two of them hugged each other quietly, as if time had stopped at this moment.

The wind outside the window brings the whisper of waves.

Just then, Paula's stomach suddenly made a clear "gurgling" sound.

Li Renyong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"You didn't have dinner tonight?"

Paula blushed a little and patted him.

"It's all for the award ceremony. I don't know the takeaway phone number. Everyone here speaks French."

Li Renyong smiled and said, "It just so happens that I haven't eaten either, let's eat together."

It's around half past ten now, so there should be quite a few restaurants open.

"it is good."

After a pause, Paula placed the trophy thrown on the bed on the table.

"Don't just leave the trophy on the bed, keep it."

Looking at the trophy, Li Renyong suddenly said, "Let's take a photo together."

Paula said, “How can we take pictures when there’s no one else here?”

“Of course I took the photos myself.”
