When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 776 Progress

I don’t know if the internal circulation has begun.

Or maybe their leader gave them some chicken soup.

Almost everyone's face shows that they are enjoying success and looking forward to the future with ambition.

What the employees want is a pay raise.

Management is thinking about promotions.

Economic companies want cooperation.

What the artists are thinking about is how to get on the good side of the creative staff.

In the entire peninsula, only their company's film won the Palme d'Or.

It will give you face if you tell others about it in your circle.

When Li Renyong arrived at the elevator, his hands were already filled with business cards.

But with so many people around watching him, he couldn't throw it away and could only put it in his pocket.

Came to Lee Chang-dong's office and pushed the door open.

"Oh, they're all here."

Park Chan-wook stood up immediately, but then he thought of something and sat back on the sofa.

Lee Chang-dong shouted, "Speak up, weren't you quite talkative just now?"

Li Renyong was confused and turned to ask, "Sister Nanzhu, what's wrong?"

Zheng Nanzhu smiled and said, "Zanyu wants to shoot a movie on his own and wants you to write a script."

Park Chan-wook smiled at her gratefully.

No wonder everyone in the company likes her. She is beautiful, gentle and considerate.

Li Renyong nodded and said, "Is that so? No problem, but I don't have any inspiration right now."

He has always collaborated with Lee Chang-dong on his scripts.

After such a long time, almost everyone thinks that only Lee Chang-dong can film Lee In-yong's script.

Li Changdong said: "Since Ayong has agreed, then you should shoot well when the time comes."

If it were in the past, he would never agree to it.

But now that we have won the Palme d'Or, we should give others some opportunities.

Park Chan-wook smiled and said, "You were the ones who saved me from being banned. I will prove my worth."

He was very grateful to several people for this.

The most important reason is that he was stimulated.

As a director, what director doesn’t want his or her film to win awards?

The trip to Cannes broadened his horizons.

If Lee Chang-dong can do it, then so can he.

In short, he wants to improve.

Zheng Nanzhu said, "Ayong, your pockets are bulging, what's in them?"

Li Renyong took out a bunch of business cards and put them on the table. "Here, these are all. I thought there was no one in the company at this time. Why are there so many people? And the two young ladies at the front desk are not the same two people as before."

Ma Richeng smiled and said, "As our reputation grows, we will naturally have more partners. I will replace the front desk with a professional."

Recently, he is happy and worried.

It is natural to be happy when the company expands.

But when the workload suddenly increased, it became annoying.

Zheng Nanzhu smiled and said, "Ayong, are you hungry? I have some bread here."

The bread is of the Tous Les Jours brand, which is mid-to-high-end quality.

After taking a look at the croissant, Li Renyong shook his head and said, "I've eaten it."

Li Changdong said: "Ayong, I thought you wouldn't come, but I didn't expect you to come at this time. It just so happens that we are discussing the premiere."

Li Renyong said: "It just so happens that I'm telling you that I won't be going to the premiere."

Zheng Nanzhu asked: "Why?"

Li Renyong took out the test paper and said, "I have to do the test paper. I can't ask someone else to do it this time. Has the premiere date been set?" Ma Richeng said, "June 6th is the day of the premiere."

This day is a very important festival on the peninsula and there will be a day off.

Li Renyong said, "It's good that it's settled. Give me some free tickets later and I'll give them away. By the way, is this the same cinema as Zhao Junnan's?"

Lee Chang-dong said: "Although the scale is a bit small, we have cooperated with him so many times, so we feel relieved to leave it to him."

Ma Richeng said: "I think we can set up a cinema ourselves to save costs."

When a movie is released, the cinema will get half of the profits.

The rest is the share of production and distribution, directors and actors.

Now that there are no cinema chains, setting up a cinema has basically no effect.

Li Renyong pointed to the business card on the table and said, "No need. There must be many cinemas here. We can discuss the specific proportions when the time comes. As for Zhao Junnan's cinema, it will be the same as usual."

Ma Richeng smiled and said, "Our movie attendance will definitely break the film history. What do you think about giving them 20%?"

Li Renyong frowned. Is it too low?
He thought he could give 30 percent.

“Isn’t that a bit low?”

Ma Il-sung said with a smile: "There are more than 90 cinemas in Seoul alone. Joint Security Area will also be screened nationwide, and some of them are co-operated by cinemas."

Li Renyong nodded: "That's true."

In fact, cinemas do make a 20% profit.

Besides, other theaters have this movie, but yours doesn’t. Who would go to your theater to watch a movie?

Lee Chang-dong smiled and said, "How many people do you think will watch the movie this time?"

Zheng Nanzhu said: "It should be 10 million."

The film with the highest number of viewers in the history of Korean films is "Myeongryang".

A total of 1761 million people.

This means that one in three people has seen the film.

The plot is that Yi Sun-sin led twelve warships and defeated the Japanese navy which was dozens of times larger than his own.

From then on, Yi Sun-sin was praised by the people of the peninsula as one of the three most famous generals in the world.

Ma Richeng smiled and said: "I think our scale should be a little bigger, and the number of domestic moviegoers should be more than 2000 million."

Li Renyong said: "Then work hard."

Afterwards, several people discussed the publicity again.

Whether it's appearing on variety shows, holding press conferences, or using idols for street promotion, these are all old ways.

Li Renyong looked at the time, stood up and said, "I should go back now. Thank you for the rest."

Zheng Nanzhu smiled and said, "It's not hard. Ayong, how are you going back?"

Li Renyong shrugged and said, "The car was driven away by Bao La. I have to take a taxi home."

Zheng Nanzhu said: "Then take my car. I also want to go home."

"Sure, I can just take a ride."

Arriving at the parking lot, the two got in the car.

The interior of the car is still the same as before, except that the stickers and objects on the steering wheel are gone.

Zheng Nanzhu smiled and said, "Last time you said it was too dangerous, so I took them all off."

This is too obedient.

Li Renyong nodded and said, "Well, let's go."

The car slowly drove into the main road. The traffic was unusually slow today.

Li Renyong looked out the window, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the edge of the window.

Zheng Nanzhu has excellent driving skills and can control the speed steadily even in congested traffic conditions.

When we arrived near Nanshan, the traffic jam was even worse than before, and we could see a group of people gathered on the roadside from a distance.

"Something seems to have happened ahead."
