Film and TV Life Experiment Program

Shuangmendong, Fenghuangdang Hutong, Zhenghuan’s home.

Lee Yi-hwa was helping Ra Mi-ran prepare lunch, and Jung-hwan's father Kim Sung-kyun was also in the living room.

"What kind of noodles is this?" Ichika asked.

"Pasta, you've never eaten it before, right?" Luo Meilan said with a smile.

"This is the first time I've seen you since I was born." Ichika replied with a smile.

In Korea in 1988, Western food was a rarity in the lives of ordinary people and was a daily enjoyment for the rich.

Because Luo Meilan's eldest son Zhengfeng was diagnosed with congenital heart disease, they had to afford the high medical expenses, and their life three years ago was worse than Deshan's family's now.

Fortunately, after all the hard work, Jung-bong won the Olympic lottery. Now that he is rich, of course he wants to enjoy everything he didn't enjoy before, and Luo Meilan also hopes to show her family's wealth in daily life.

"Why is Aze holding the banquet at our house to celebrate his victory?" Jin Chengjun asked puzzledly.

"What can a widower cook? I asked him to buy a chicken, and Aze will come too." Luo Meilan responded to her husband's question unhappily.

"Really? I finally get to meet our Master Cui."

Choi Taek is a talented Go player, currently a professional 6th dan, and has just won the largest Go tournament of the year in South Korea.

"If I had a daughter, I would invite him to be my son-in-law." Jin Chengjun said with a smile.

"I fell in love with Aze first, and I want him to be my son-in-law." Ichika also joined in.

"How greedy! Having Gu Yu is not enough?" Luo Meilan also joked.

"I have two daughters at home, haha~"

"Haha~" The three of them were talking and laughing, chatting while they were busy.

"Isn't Paula coming today?"

"He said he was busy with something at school and comes back very late every Saturday." Ichika said nonchalantly.

"Mom, where are you~"

"Paula?" Jin Chengjun heard the voice and looked out the door in confusion.

Paula was going on a school trip, so she went home early today to pack her luggage, but to her misfortune, Deok-sun wore her favorite denim jacket to school.

Suddenly, the family was in chaos. Yihua quickly contacted her youngest son Yuhui, who rushed to her sister's school. Deshan rushed home at an amazing speed. At home, Bora was angry and yelling.

Finally, Deok-sun finally caught up, and Ilhwa pretended to have forgotten it in the washing machine. When Bora saw the wet clothes, she yelled at her mother. Deok-sun was dissatisfied with her attitude, and the two started fighting again. What a lively and warm family environment.

At noon, the meal at Zhenghuan's house was ready. The adults were in the living room, Zhengfeng and Zhenzhu were in their rooms, and Aze, his son and the children were still on the way.

"Ding ding ding~" the doorbell rang.

"Why are you ringing the doorbell when the door is open?"

"I'm really worried about him." Meilan also complained.

"Hello, everyone." Fenghuangtang walked in with two fried chickens and bowed.

"Why did you come just now? I've been waiting for you for so long that my neck is about to break." Shanying joked with him. They are from the same hometown and have known each other for a long time.

"On a day like today, it would be better to close the store early. Your son makes so much money and yet he works so hard." Luo Meilan also criticized Aze's father.

"That's not my money, it's Aze's money. Where should I put it?" Fenghuangtang said embarrassedly.

"Why buy two, husband? Take one to the child's room." Luo Meilan took a look and directed Jin Chengjun.

"Is Aze coming over?" Sun Young asked.

"He will come. Since he's not in school, his only friends are a few people his own age in the alley, and he hasn't relaxed for a long time."

Aze's father sat down and said with emotion. After delivering fried chicken to the child's room, Jin Chengjun picked up the camera and started filming. However, he was almost blinded by Luo Meilan's slap. His wife was not satisfied, so Jin Chengjun had to put the camera aside.

At this time, the children also returned home one after another, greeted the adults and went into Jung Hwan's room. However, the way Deok Sun and Kim Sung Kyun greeted them was so exaggerated, like a boring sitcom. Gu Yu shook his head as he watched.

"You're really sick. Why hasn't Aze come yet?" Cheng Dongyi rolled his eyes at the vulgar tastes of his daughter and Zhenghuan's father.

"He's in the back. Deok-sun asked him to rent a comic book."

Gu Yu and the adults bowed slightly, and entered Zhenghuan's room with Deshan. The adults also lamented that among this group of children, Aze did not receive the treatment of a big star.

As soon as Gu Yu and his children entered the room, they immediately started tearing up the fried chicken and scrambling for it. Aze, who came in later, probably had nothing to eat.

"Aze, how much prize money did you get for winning this competition?" Donglong was still chewing a chicken leg.

"Fifty million." Aze just walked in and answered blankly before sitting down.

"Fifty million!" Several children were very surprised when they heard it. Only Gu Yu took this opportunity to tear off the wings again and scrambled to eat them because they were more delicious.

"Fried rice cake! Fried rice cake!" Several people shouted, asking Aze to treat them, but the children were not greedy. What friends want to share is joy.

Fifty million won was enough to buy a house in the Silver Horse Apartments in that era, but in 2020, it would cost more than 15 billion. For example, when Gu Yu's parents died unexpectedly, he only received million in compensation even though he had bought insurance.

"However, compared to fried rice cakes, I want to eat the sweet and sour pork made by Brother Gu Yu more." Deshan turned her head and looked at Gu Yu who was gnawing on chicken wings, with anticipation in her eyes.

"Yes, Gu Yu only did it that once, and I want to try it again." Dong Long said in agreement, and also cast an expectant look at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu finished his chicken wings leisurely and wiped his hands.

"Then Xidongdong will buy the ingredients and I will cook. Let's move to my house."

“Oh~oh~”

The children believed everything they heard and before Aze could react, they took the food and ran to Gu Yu's house. When they passed by the living room, they saw the adults also partying.

"Xidongdong, remember, next time you go to China, don't give the good wine you bring to your dad, give it to us."

"Yeah, you guys are still drinking, Mom."

When Deok-sun heard the conversation between Jung-hwan and A-ze, she was about to call their parents, but Gu Yu covered her mouth.

"Hey, Deshan, we are all 18 years old. It's okay to drink at home. I also asked Aze to bring me a few bottles of Moutai. They are worth collecting."

After hearing Gu Yu say this, Deshan no longer wanted to tell the adults.

"Then Brother Gu Yu, don't drink too much. It's not good for your health."

"Deshan, why do I feel that your attitude towards Gu Yu is different from your attitude towards us?"

Donglong was simply feeling unbalanced, but Zhenghuan couldn't tell what he felt after seeing what happened just now.

"Huh, are you comparable to Brother Gu Yu?"

Several people bought ingredients together. Gu Yu changed the dish a little bit and made sweet and sour pork ribs, which was served with a bowl of shredded kelp. The staple food was ramen.

Gu Yu also opened a bottle of wine, and a few slightly drunk people lay in the living room of Gu Yu's house, chatting about Aze's upcoming birthday.

Time passed quickly, and another month had passed in the blink of an eye. The Olympics had ended, and Gu Yu's science fiction novel "The Martian" had been completed and sent to publishing companies such as Penguin Books, Random House, and HarperCollins.

This novel was originally scheduled to be serialized after 2009. If it were published 20 years ago, the science fiction elements in it would highlight its predictive nature for the future, giving the "fantasy" a great possibility of being realized in the future with the help of technology.

After editors from various publishing companies noticed "The Martian" sooner or later, they all became very interested in the book. A publishing company with branches in South Korea has already contacted Gu Yu.

However, Gu Yu was sitting on the Diaoyutai. His plan for this novel was not only to make money, but also to gain fame.

Now, word has begun to circulate in the cultural and Korean media circles that the works of an 18-year-old genius science fiction writer have been fiercely sought after by major publishing houses.

As for how the news spread, all we can say is that Gu Yu's savings became 180 million. Of course, he didn't spend all of it on this. He also bought two houses in Yinma Apartments.

He also ordered an Audi V8, an imported car, which cost $18, plus 17% tariff and % VAT. According to the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Korean won at that time, the car Gu Yu bought was almost worth a house in Yinma Apartments.

But Gu Yu said it didn't matter. Money is a bastard. If you don't have money in real life, you can't get rich in the film and television world? It's just that he is not too rich and famous at the moment, otherwise Gu Yu would have bought a Porsche 911 directly.
