Chapter 29 Going to Dongda
Chapter 29 Going to Dongda
Paula couldn't sleep either, feeling very bored.
Suddenly, Deok-sun kicked herself with her calf and it hurt quite a bit.
Then Deok Sun got beaten.
In an instant, Deok-sun's voice was heard crying out in pain and calling for her mother.
At this time, Cheng Dongri roared, "You are a bunch of girls who deserve to be punished. If you continue to fight, I will kick you out of the house."
The fight between Bora and Deok-sun suddenly fell silent.
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
Under a bridge in Seoul, there was a man lying. His name was Ma Il-sung.
This is his temporary home.
Although the people were rather sloppy, the area under the bridge was still tidy.
There is a small table against the wall with some daily necessities on it.
A mat was brought from somewhere, but a quilt was placed on it and Ma Richeng was lying on it.
There were actually a few nails on the bridge hole, with a few sets of clothes hanging on them.
Not at all as scruffy as the other homeless people.
Because it is close to the river, breeze blows from time to time, brushing across the water and creating ripples.
Looking up, there is the night sky.
It's summer now and the temperature is pretty good, not too cold, but there are a lot of mosquitoes.
If it were winter, it would be terrible and people would freeze to death.
He was thinking about what Li Renyong had said to him during the day. Should he go tomorrow or not?
After all, he is just a high school student and may not be reliable.
But when I think about how destitute I have become now, how much worse can it get?
After slapping to death a mosquito that was sucking blood from my arm, I decided to give it a try tomorrow.
Early the next morning, after Li Renyong got up, he ran to the mirror.
After a night, the slap marks on the face were almost gone.
If you don't look carefully, you can't tell that you were slapped.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Li Renyong looked at the time. It was just past six o'clock.
In summer, the sky usually gets bright earlier.
At this time, the sky was already turning white.
After opening the door, I found that it was Ma Richeng. He came too early.
"Uncle Ma, you came so early, have you eaten yet?"
He looked completely different today than he did yesterday, his beard was cleaned and his hair was washed.
Maybe because there was no hair dryer, my hair was still wet.
But he looked much more energetic than yesterday, and there was confidence in his eyes.
"I came after I finished eating."
Li Renyong did not expose his lies, so he decided to give some face to a man in his thirties.
He had already learned about Ma Richeng's situation from President Jin.
I know that the person in front of me is hungry or full.
"Come in first. My family hasn't eaten yet. Let's eat together later. We can't let you watch us eat."
After Ma Richeng came in, he looked around the courtyard.
I found that it was almost the same as before he left, and most of the objects were still there.
Seeing Ma Richeng's gaze, Li Renyong said, "You arranged your things well in the yard, so we didn't move much."
Ma Richeng pointed to the flower pots by the wall and said, "It seems that you have put a lot of effort into these flowers and plants. I collected them one by one in the past."
Li Renyong smiled and said, "I like it too. I take care of it every morning. If you can't bear to part with it, why don't you take a few pots with you?"
"Forget it. It's your house now. I have nowhere to put it even if I want it."
After saying this, Ma Richeng lowered his head, not knowing what he was recalling.
Yes, seeing things reminds me of people. It was my own home a few months ago, but now I am visiting as a guest, so I naturally don’t feel comfortable.
Just then, Huili also got up and saw an unfamiliar stranger standing with Li Renyong.
She walked up and said, "Who are you?"
Li Renyong said, "This is the previous owner of the house. I met Uncle Jin yesterday. I invited him to be my guest. Mom, go and cook first."
Ma Richeng bowed and said, "Hello, I'm sorry to bother you by coming here." He felt embarrassed because he didn't bring any gifts.
Huili replied and turned to cook.
Since there are guests, the morning meal is naturally very rich.
After dinner, Huili took the dishes to the kitchen to wash them.
Li Renyong and Ma Richeng were sitting in the living room.
Perhaps he was anxious, Ma Richeng asked, "Brother, what was the job you mentioned yesterday?"
"Uncle, just call me Yong. There's no rush for work. It's still early. Let me show you something."
Li Renyong walked into the room and took out the script of "This Man From Earth" that he had prepared long ago.
Looking at the script in front of him, Ma Richeng was full of questions: "Did you write this?"
After receiving Li Renyong's affirmative answer, Ma Richeng felt a little discouraged.
I thought I could get a job today, but I ended up reading a script for others.
Is there money in reading scripts?
Writing a script is not that easy. Do you have the life experience?
Do you think making a movie is a joke?
What kind of garbage can be photographed?
But thinking about getting a free meal, I watched it carefully.
This man is from Earth?
Are you writing science fiction?
With such questions in mind, I immersed myself in the plot.
Although he previously worked in film distribution and promotion, he graduated from Sangmyung University with a degree in Film Theory and Production.
He can tell whether a script is good or bad.
Li Renyong didn't disturb him until he took a deep breath and put down the script.
Now he has roughly guessed what Li Renyong meant.
"It's a great script. I guess this job should be related to movies."
Li Renyong said, "Uncle is really smart. Today I will take you to meet a director. Yesterday I learned that you work in the film industry, so I invited you to join us."
Ma Richeng was surprised and asked, "You mean, you want me to make a movie?"
Li Renyong nodded.
After seeing the confirmed answer, Ma Richeng smiled happily. He would have no problem returning to the film industry.
“How many people are there in your crew?”
Li Renyong smiled and said, "Three."
what?
Three?
what is this?
The smile on his face froze immediately, and he felt that this boy was a little unreliable.
"Does the director know about this?"
Li Renyong moved his butt and said, "He will know today."
There is still no sign of love.
Seeing that Ma Richeng was about to leave, Li Renyong picked up the script in his hand and said, "You are also satisfied with this script. Can we shoot it? Let's meet and talk about it."
When Ma Richeng heard this, he agreed.
Forget it, just step on the watermelon rind and let it slide wherever it takes you.
I called Lee Chang-dong and made an appointment to meet him.
Afterwards, it was getting late.
Li Renyong pointed at Ma Richeng next to him and said, "Mom, I'm taking him to see Uncle Cangdong. I won't eat at home at noon. I'll be in Uncle Jin's store in the afternoon."
After what happened yesterday, in order not to worry Huili, Li Renyong has started to report before going out.
After Huili cleaned up the house, she said, "Okay, be safe on the road, I have to go to work too."
The so-called work means watching the decoration workers work.
Li Renyong said: "Let's go to Dongda."
As soon as I went out, I met Deshan, who was holding a bowl of rice porridge in her hand.
Li Renyong greeted him and said, "Good morning, haven't you eaten yet?"
On the third day of the New Year, I wish you all good health and no disasters.
