Chapter 52: That bastard An Haoxian
Chapter 52: That bastard An Haoxian
Li Renyong said with resentment.
"I told you that you are a bad boy. You are so angry. Come to Aqishan Road in the east district. I will ask Richeng to pick you up."
Li Renyong looked at the light rain outside. If it wasn't something serious, he didn't want to go out at all.
Isn’t it nice to sleep at home on a rainy day?
"What do you want to do first?"
Lee Chang-dong said angrily, "That bastard Ahn Ho-hyun actually criticized our movie in Rle magazine."
That's it?
Some people think a movie is good, while others think it is bad.
Rle magazine is an entertainment magazine, not a movie magazine.
Those who understand will understand. Everyone should just treat the above news as gossip.
Let them curse.
"No, Uncle Cangdong, it's raining."
Li Cangdong paused and said, "Come here. Besides this, there is one more thing I want to tell you."
Li Renyong said: "Uncle Cangdong, if you have anything to say, just tell me on the phone."
Li Cangdong said: "Come quickly, I will tell you something very important when you come."
After that, hang up the phone directly.
Hey, you are so grown up, yet you still play such childish tricks.
I put the phone where it was and thought about what happened after the movie.
It doesn't seem like a big deal, so why are you asking me to go over there?
Thinking about the script they mentioned last time, do they want to lock themselves in a small dark room to write the script?
Li Renyong shook his head vigorously to get rid of this ridiculous idea.
He stood up, looked at the rain outside, and really didn't want to go out.
"Mom, Uncle Cangdong wants me to come over."
"understood."
Seongdong District is only separated from Ssangmun-dong by a JB District, which is not too far, but not close either.
He didn't want to take the bus in the rain, so he called a taxi.
I told Ajun and Najing that I would be going out in the afternoon.
Na Jing was very unhappy. Brother Yong went out yesterday afternoon and he was going out again today.
When we were in Mashan, he was with me all day.
In the end, it was Ajun who calmed Na Jing down.
Soon, the taxi came.
Seoul becomes more prosperous as you go south. Although Seongdong District is also in Gangbuk, it is much more prosperous than Ssangmun-dong.
Further south are the districts of Gangdong, Gangnam and Mapo, especially Gangnam, where all the wealthy people have gone.
When I arrived at the intersection of Aqishan, I saw Ma Richeng holding an umbrella.
After Li Renyong got out of the car, he shouted, "Uncle Ma."
Then, Ma Richeng led Li Renyong into a building.
The building is very low, only about four stories high.
The exterior is dilapidated and the brick and stone walls are covered with traces of time.
This is a business building filled with offices.
Li Renyong asked with doubt: "Why did you bring me here? Are we cooperating with other cinemas again?"
Ma Richeng put away his umbrella, shook off the raindrops and said, "You know the report that An Haoxian published."
If Koreans hate someone very much, the dirtiest word they use is "bastard".
The usual ones are usually about seeing a ghost, going to hell, perverts, etc.
Their swear words are really poor.
From this we can see that Ma Richeng also hated An Haoxian very much.
"Uncle Cangdong told me everything, but I haven't seen the report yet."
"We'll see him in a while." He followed Ma Richeng to the third floor and entered an office.
The place is not big, with only about a hundred bungalows.
Maybe because of the weather, the room was dimly lit and no one was there.
There was a stuffy atmosphere in the air, and one could clearly smell the dust in the air.
The whole office seemed empty and lifeless.
"Ayong, come here and take a look at this."
Lee Chang-dong came out of an office and raised the magazine in his hand.
After entering, I found that Zheng Nanzhu was also there, but she was holding a few pieces of white paper in her hands and looking at them.
The air here is a little better and the environment is not too messy.
Li Renyong took it and took a look, and found that it was indeed an article written by An Haoxian.
He actually used his real name.
It's really brainless. Who uses real name when insulting others nowadays?
The article criticizes the movie "The Man from Earth" from three aspects.
The actors are a group, and the highlight is Zheng Nanzhu, who has a bad reputation.
The screenwriter is a minor.
The movie contains religious prejudices.
Every word is a slander against the film.
Sure enough, stupid people are stupid people, and the articles they publish are also stupid.
Seeing his disdain, Li Cangdong became anxious: "Ayong, why aren't you anxious?"
Ma Richeng said angrily, "I didn't expect that An Haoxian would do such a despicable thing. He is unworthy of being a filmmaker. Pah."
Li Renyong said, "Uncle Cangdong, why are you so anxious? Let me ask you, is our movie a good movie?"
Thinking of hearing the comments from the audience in the cinema, Lee Chang-dong nodded without hesitation: "Of course."
Li Renyong continued, "Then what are you afraid of? We all know what kind of person Sister Nanzhu is. I am a minor, so what? Many adult screenwriters can't write such a script. And religious prejudice, do we have prejudice? You are the director, did you have prejudice when you were filming?"
Ma Richeng said: "Ayong, there are too many people reading Rle magazine, if..."
Before he could finish, Li Renyong said directly: "Wouldn't it be better if so many people watched it? That idiot An Haoxian actually posted the name of the movie. Maybe more people will watch our movie."
Lee Chang-dong was still hesitant. It was his first time making a movie and he was still a little worried.
Seeing him like this, Li Renyong continued, "If you are still worried, I will give you a suggestion. Tell the audience directly that if they go to see "The Man From the Future" with the article by Ahn Ho-hyun in Rle magazine, they will get a 20% discount on the movie ticket. I think Uncle Zhao will agree to this, and it will also be good for their theater."
The eyes of the three people in the room lit up.
Lee Chang-dong said with emotion: "Ayong is right. I think he will definitely be able to get into Seoul National University in the future."
The other two also kept nodding.
Li Renyong looked on with disdain.
That's it?
He hasn't done anything yet.
For example, they paid to publish a video in Rle magazine showing Ahn Ho-hyun molesting little girls, or emphasized his character issues, or reported that Ahn Ho-hyun's previous works were plagiarized, etc.
The main point is to create something out of nothing.
No matter which reason it is, everyone will focus on him.
Even more serious cases may be investigated.
Li Renyong continued, "Uncle Cangdong, besides this matter, is there anything else? If not, I will leave."
At this time, Zheng Nanzhu brought a few cups of coffee and placed them on the table.
Good, there is coffee here.
If you want to know how much Koreans love coffee, this will give you an idea.
The third update is completed, and today is another day of updating on time.
