4. Pay it back

It was already 5 days later when Li Chong appeared in the crowd again. He was wearing a gray suit, a tired face, thick dark circles, and thick stubble that had covered his entire chin... Fortunately, his hair was relatively clean...

"I'm so dizzy, why is the razor out of power at this time?" Li Chong looked at his phone. It was already 9:30 and he was about 10 o'clock with the director of QY Film Company. He had no time to deal with his beard... Li Chong quickly walked two streets, bought a can of milk in a fast vending machine, and drank it in two or three mouthfuls... Then he threw it in the trash can. When he arrived at the agreed coffee shop, it was already 9:50. When he entered the coffee shop, Li Chong found a seat that was not by the window. His honor would affect the appearance of the city. Li Chong was important with a simple meal, a cup of coffee... slowly waiting for the people in the film company.

After Li Chong finished the simple meal, the waiter did not come. After Li Chong finished drinking coffee, the waiting person still did not come. Li Chong continued two more cups of coffee and the waiting person still did not come. Li Chong had some bad premonitions. At this time, there were more and more people in the cafe. Li Chong looked at the time. It was already 12 noon, and it was lunch time...

Having been waiting for two hours, Li Chong thought about it, picked up the phone and called Jin Yanji, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, "Hello, it's Mr. Jin Yanji, I'm Li Chong." Li Chong saw the phone call and said it first.

A frivolous voice came from the phone, "Hello, I am Kim Yanji, is there anything wrong?"

Li Chong felt his brain was a little twitching, "You asked me to meet in a cafe before, so let's discuss script investment."

"Oh, that, didn't my secretary notify you? I don't have time today. Why don't you send the script to my company and wait until I have time to see what I want to do before talking about investment?" Jin Yanji said with some joking...

Li Chong suddenly felt like he was waiting like an idiot... but he couldn't express it in words, "Well, Mr. Jin Yanji, I'm disturbing me."

After Li Chong finished speaking, he hung up the call and thought to himself that if he didn't want to see me, just say, why are you doing this? Is it the only one film company in Seoul... QY is just a film production company that has just reached a medium-sized scale.

On the other end of the phone, he laughed and thought, "You are banned by CJ Entertainment Company, I'm afraid you don't know yet... Liu Xiuli is a famous snob. If he hadn't been picking a lot of good movies and earning a lot of money for CJ, he wouldn't have been in this fat position all the time. It seems that no one would offend him for you, a kid who has nothing, you should be your MV director honestly...

At this time, Li Chong had already started looking for the next film company. The result was conceivable. In the next five days, except for a large film production company who wanted to buy his script, more than 10 film companies directly or politely rejected Li Chong. It was not until a film company head who was very optimistic about him before Li Chong served, told him the reason that he understood...

It turned out that someone asked to ban him, "Don't you Li Chong want to enter the film industry? Don't you want to be a director and make movies? Can you be a director and write? I'll let you not even have funds to withdraw. Let me see what you are using to make movies..."

It turns out that when Li Chong was the most glorious in 2004, Liu Xiuli was very optimistic about him and had already negotiated a director contract for a movie. The treatment was very generous, basically the same as some directors who had already had one or two filming experience in the film industry. This was generous for a newcomer. However, because Li Chong suddenly disappeared for 2 or 3 months, the filming of the movie had to be replaced, which made Liu Xiuli very angry. It turned out that you were playing with me. Liu Xiuli originally thought that I was the best film producer in the Republic of Korea.

It is enough to give you such a big opportunity to be a newcomer, so I want to wait until the movie starts to sign a director contract on site, as a gimmick to promote the company and the movie, so that the movie has attracted media attention from the beginning. Unfortunately, Li Chong's sudden disappearance directly disrupted Liu Xiuli's plan. Moreover, the movie not only did not recover the cost, but also made Xijie Entertainment Company lose money. All of these were recorded on Li Chong by Liu Xiuli. Therefore, with Liu Xiuli's personality, Li Chong basically couldn't make it in the film industry...

Moreover, in the first half of 2007, Korean local movies had been beaten up by Hollywood movies, and 80% of local movies could not recover the cost. Although Li Chong had previously been a genius PD, he had not had a single work after all, and he had served in military service for two years. No company dared to invest in large scale at this time, not to mention that he offended Liu Xiuli, the president of Xijie Entertainment Company, who was a vengeful guy. So basically, the entire Seoul film production company would not invest in him...

Li Chong felt that he was very wronged. How long has it been since this happened? Although he was wrong, he did not sign the contract after all. Moreover, Li Chong himself called himself to explain that his condition was no longer suitable for filming a movie. Although it was a little later at that time, it was also before the movie started the press conference... Well... it was the day before, but you don’t have to hold a grudge against me for so long...

Li Chong was a little helpless. No matter how good the script was, it would be useless. Even if he was confident that he would definitely be a well-known work, it would be useless if he had no money to shoot it.

As he walked, Li Chong walked to the Hanjiang Bridge in Seoul. Li Chong found that he was very destined to be with the bridge. Whenever his thoughts were erratic, he would encounter the bridge. Last time it was the Juji Bridge, this time it was the Hanjiang Bridge. Standing on the bridge, Li Chong was a little confused. Is it right or wrong to escape? In more than two years, he missed too many things... I missed the first movie in his life, missed the movie feast in 2005 and 2006, missed the sharp decline in the Korean movie quota system, missed the millions of visitors to "Hanjiang Monster" and "The King's Man" that overwhelmed the Hollywood feast, and of course she also missed her wedding. But without two years of thinking and two years of precipitation, he would not write many imaginative scripts, nor would he have a love for life, nor would he have the script he is in his hand now.

"Oh," Li Chong sighed softly, just to think it was because he paid back the debt two years ago...

Just when he was thinking a lot, just when he was opening his handbag to get a cigarette, a girl suddenly bumped into him behind him...

"Ah" with a soft cry, the girl behind her fell to the ground, and Li Chong's handbag fell into the Han River water in front of him like a sandbag... A dozen manuscript paper drifted out of the opened handbag, gradually floating away in the direction of the sunset... I could only vaguely see a few bold characters on the homepage------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ah" Li Chong spat out in anger. He didn't care about the girl who was already sitting on the ground behind him, and he wanted to fetch his handbag. Unfortunately, it was too late, so he could only watch the manuscript paper flying towards the Han River.
