Chapter 34 Accepting a disciple?
Chapter 34 Accepting a disciple?
Li Renyong thought that he was away from home every day, so even if he wanted to raise a cat, he would not have the time. He smiled and said, "Forget it. I am very busy every day now and I don't have the time."
"No need to say more, I'll give you one when the time comes."
Before Li Renyong could reply, Ma Richeng said, "Okay, take a break. It's Nanzhu's turn next. Get ready."
As he spoke, he looked at the script notebook in his hand.
Zheng Nanzhu replied, then took out her script from her bag and started reading.
She had very few lines, but probably because it was her first time acting in a role, she acted very seriously.
It was the same in the morning. She didn't have any show to perform, but she still arrived early.
She helped Ma Richeng with all sorts of tasks and received constant praise from everyone, with some even wanting to introduce her to someone.
Soon, the camera was in place.
Zheng Nanzhu put down the script, stood up, took a deep breath, and prepared to perform.
Maybe because I was a little nervous, I accidentally touched her bag while walking.
A Rle magazine fell out of the bag.
Rle, short for Riel.
It is a very famous entertainment magazine in South Korea and also a gossip magazine.
The selling points of each issue are very eye-catching, with a 50-50 ratio of correct and incorrect information, and there is no guarantee that the gossip is definitely true.
If you want to make someone famous, put him in this magazine.
It sold like hot cakes, after all, it is human nature to read gossip.
Li Renyong didn't think much about it. He had nothing to do now, so he picked up the magazine and started flipping through it.
Who knows, one page was folded and marked.
It turned out to be an article slandering Zheng Nanzhu, which roughly meant that she looked down on CCB and wanted to choose another entertainment company, and also described her private life as extremely promiscuous.
There is no mention at all of the agent's desire to take advantage of Zheng Nanzhu.
Is this the legendary title that can be made up at random?
Logically speaking, a beautiful girl like Zheng Nanzhu, who studies in a media school, should have a lot of resources.
but now……
If you can't get it, just destroy it.
Li Renyong's impression of CCB became very bad.
Zheng Nanzhu looked normal and didn't seem to care at all.
But Li Renyong knew, if he didn't care, why would he mark this article?
However, the two of them just knew each other, so Li Renyong didn't say much.
Then she put the magazine in her bag.
At this time, Zheng Nanzhu glanced over here.
Li Renyong smiled.
Soon, the afternoon passed and everyone packed up and prepared to go home.
There is only one day left until tomorrow when the filming is completed, which means that we will be wrapping up after tomorrow.
"Did you see it?"
Zheng Nanzhu packed up, held the big orange and walked beside Li Renyong.
"what did you see?"
Li Renyong pretended not to know.
"The article in the magazine."
"What do you mean..."
Before Li Renyong finished speaking, Li Changdong's voice was heard.
"Ayong, let's go visit the person in charge of the Seoul Theater tonight. He wants to meet you?"
see me?
What do I have to see?
But I still have to go for the promotion of the movie.
I casually said hello to Zheng Nanzhu and then left. Zheng Nanzhu was stunned for a while, then sighed helplessly, and walked away with her bag in her hand, feeling very disappointed.
Because in her eyes, Li Renyong looked like he was hiding from her.
Just then, a Hyundai car stopped in front of Zheng Nanzhu, and a driver wearing white gloves got out of the car.
After opening the back door, he said, "Miss."
Zheng Nanzhu nodded and got into the car somewhat unhappily.
Located in Daejong-ro, Seoul Theater was established in the 70s and has a total of five or six screening halls.
They have a huge influence in the Korean film industry, as they also have partial review power over whether a film can be released.
It will be reviewed jointly by the Film Association and them.
Many new directors or individuals who make movies will choose Seoul Theater for review.
Once it passes the review, it can be released.
Convenient.
After that, we discussed cooperation with various major cinemas, but Seoul Theater always had the best film sources because of its proximity.
To judge whether a movie is a hit in the market, just come here and take a look at its attendance rate.
Actors often hold meet-and-greets or autograph sessions here, so if you're lucky, you'll get to meet a lot of big stars.
After learning about it, Li Renyong felt a little excited.
Wow, if this could be released there, it might become a hit.
At a high-end barbecue restaurant near Eulji-ro, Lee Chang-dong specially booked a private room so that no matter how loud the noise outside is, it cannot be heard inside.
It's a good place to chat.
Soon, a middle-aged man in his forties in a suit and tie came.
Just like Maitreya Buddha, he came up and said, "Sorry, sorry, I'm late. I'll pay for it today."
Li Changdong quickly stood up and said, "It's not too late. We have only been here for less than ten minutes."
Ma Richeng pointed at Li Renyong and said, "How can I let you treat me? Manager An, this is our screenwriter."
Li Renyong stood up and bowed, but didn't say much.
Manager An took a look and smiled, making it hard to tell what he was thinking: "Is this the screenwriter of 'This Man is from Earth'? He's really amazing, much better than when I was young."
After everyone sat down, Lee Chang-dong poured a glass of wine for Manager An.
After all, you are asking for help from others, so you have to be polite.
Just like that, everyone started eating and drinking. Since Li Renyong was not an adult, he drank fruit juice.
After a while, the polite compliments were finished.
Manager An blushed, and with his hand holding the wine glass, he looked at the three people and said, "We at the Seoul Theater are very supportive of personal films. Your script is also excellent. It should be an excellent movie. There are not many films that I can say are excellent over the years."
Lee Chang-dong and others nodded repeatedly. Anyway, they wanted Manager An to eat and drink well today.
If there is still money, maybe we should let him have a good time.
Manager An said to Li Renyong, "You are so young, you probably don't have a master yet, right?"
Obviously, he wanted Li Renyong to become his disciple.
Manager An knows his own situation very well.
He is already in his forties and is also a screenwriter, but he has fewer and fewer ideas and creativity in his head.
You know, screenwriters rely on ideas and creativity.
This situation is generally referred to as the end of one's talent.
Although I have written good works in the past, the audience always forgets them quickly.
Just in case, take advantage of it now before it becomes outdated.
He transferred from the screenwriting department to the review department because he was afraid that he would never be able to write good works again.
Just when he was worried, Ma Richeng came to his door.
Today's third update is here
