When I was in Reply 1988

Chapter 793 Production Meeting

As soon as I went out, I saw President Jin came back.

It's only been a few days and he's back.

Ms. Luo was standing nearby, saying something excitedly.

Li Renyong greeted from a distance and said, "President Jin, why don't you stay in the hospital for a few more days?"

When President Jin saw the person coming, he raised his right hand happily.

"Oh my god, President Li..."

He didn't finish his words, his face full of pain.

Li Renyong supported him and said, "Watch your waist. The doctor told you not to do any strenuous movements."

President Jin held his waist with his right hand and said carefully, "Ayong, I'm sorry."

Li Renyong smiled and said, "It's okay, you can say hello next time."

He turned around and asked, "Aunt Luo, what happened? You were discharged from the hospital after just two days?"

Ms. Luo said distressedly: "I just don't want to spend money."

Li Renyong was stunned. This reason was very powerful and very consistent with President Jin's personality.

He buys pirated clothes, whatever is cheaper.

Even the cheapest oranges are bought individually.

They bought five at a time, two for Ms. Luo and one each for him and the children.

President Jin said bluntly, "The bed fee for that ward alone is 90,000, and there are other medical expenses, physical therapy fees, rehabilitation guidance training fees, consultation fees, this fee, that fee. You can recuperate at home, why waste that money."

I don’t know how much it will cost if I don’t leave the hospital.

I have to say, he is really good at living.

Li Renyong advised: "Aunt Luo, it's already like this, it's the same for him to recuperate at home, you can't rush him back to the hospital now. Just be careful in your life."

Ms. Luo sighed and said, "This is the only way."

Ever since her family became rich, she always wanted to make her life better and more refined.

For example, the tableware for dining was all bought from a specialty store.

President Jin said, "Ayong, where are you going?"

Li Renyong raised the file bag in his hand and said, "I'm going to the company and I'll come to see you when I come back."

Ms. Luo said: "Be careful on the road."

After saying that, he supported President Jin and walked into the yard step by step.

……

Zhongwu Road.

Lee Chang-dong's office.

"The script came out so quickly?"

Park Chan-wook stood aside, holding the script with an excited look on his face.

I knew that Li Renyong's scripts were of good quality, but I didn't expect them to be produced at such a fast speed.

One day earlier than the promised time.

Li Renyong looked around the office and said, "Every time I come here, you guys are all here. Don't you have anything to do?"

Ma Richeng said: "Now we are just waiting for the premiere. I guess we will be busy after the premiere."

Li Renyong asked, "Didn't you say last time that our company hired a few more directors? Aren't you going to keep an eye on them?"

Li Changdong waved his hand and said, "They are not young, they can handle it. Let me take a look at the script."

Park Chan-wook handed the script to Lee Chang-dong.

Lee Chang-dong took it and read it carefully. After ten minutes, he exclaimed: "I really want to shoot this, this script is good."

Park Chan-wook immediately snatched the script back and said, "This was written for me by Yong."

Zheng Nanzhu said: "What kind of script is so attractive? Let me take a look."

The script is short, just a few pages.

In 86, a female corpse was found on the edge of a field in Hwaseong County, Gyeonggi Province on the peninsula. It had already started to stink, and the only thing that could be confirmed was that she had been raped before she died!

Two months later, victims appeared one after another using the same method.

Jing Fang had no clue, causing panic among the people, and they decided to set up an investigation team to investigate this series of difficult cases.

Small town police officer Park Doo-man and Su Tae-yoon from Seoul took over the case. The severe lack of clues forced the inexperienced Park Doo-man and his partner Detective Cho to rely on rough torture and sixth sense to infer, and they managed to force the suspect to confess several times.

Su Taiyun was objective and calm, and he analyzed the case based on reason, eliminating the suspects several times. However, innocent women were still killed one after another.

In the end, the investigation team decided to select a rainy day and send undercover agents to lure the perpetrator.

But it was another woman who died the next day.

At this time, a young man who fits the characteristics of the crime very well becomes the biggest suspect.

This is the general plot, the rest depends on how the director shoots it.

Zheng Nanzhu put down the script and said, "This plot is too simple."

Lee Chang-dong laughed and said, "What script is not simple? For a movie, besides a good script, the director's shooting and the artist's performance are all indispensable."

Ma Il-sung said, "It's time to test Park Chan-wook."

Park Chan-wook patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry."

Li Renyong took the things on the table aside and said, "Let's have a small production meeting first."

After hearing this, several people immediately sat down, and Park Chan-wook even took out a notebook from his clothes, ready to record the key points.

"The role of Park Doo Man has been confirmed to be played by Song Kang Ho, so don't tell him yet. The remaining important roles are Su Tai Yun and Agent Cao. Do you have any recommendations?"

Ma Richeng said: "This is easy. I will release the news of shooting a new movie this afternoon. There are many artists to cooperate with us."

Park Chan-wook nodded and said, "Hold an audition first, and I'll go take a look then."

He is the chief director of this film, and he must know whether the role is successful or not.

Li Renyong smiled and said, "The supporting roles don't matter, but we have to find the right ones for these three important roles. One more thing, I didn't want a female artist to act in this movie, but there is an undercover role in the play, which requires a female artist. The murderer hasn't been caught yet, so there may be some risks in acting in this movie."

The men present looked at each other and then laughed.

Every country’s entertainment industry has a set of so-called rules, and Peninsula’s is the most bizarre.

The status of artists is low, and female artists have the lowest status.

The time now is the late 80s, early 90s.

In later generations, although their status was slightly improved, they spent their time in extravagant ways.

In order to star in a high-quality movie, many artists with poor acting skills will choose to take an unconventional approach.

For example: donate something.

Playing the role of an undercover agent is only slightly risky.

As long as the word gets out, a lot of female artists will want to get on board.

Lee Chang-dong smiled and said, "Ayong, don't worry."

Li Renyong said: "As long as you think it's okay, we can continue to talk about the script. The director cannot stop at the case itself, but must look at the broader context of the times."

"The chronic corruption, lack of resources, and incompetent government behavior that only cares about results, as well as the profound criticism and reflection on the military rule of the peninsula under the leadership of Jeon Do Hwan, all need to be included in the film."

"In the frequent violent suppression and bloody conflicts, the people's hearts were deeply traumatized and social order fell into chaos. Such a social background provided fertile ground for a series of murders. And those vulnerable groups at the bottom of society, such as intellectually limited teenagers and oppressed workers, were the first to be suspected of being criminals."
