From the very beginning, Mr. Yao's attitude was teasing and he didn't take it seriously.

If Manager Zhang and his people had not had General Manager Yao's earlier instructions, how could they have such a unified attitude, all of them making things difficult for and showing disdain for Tan Jinqi?

Apart from discussing over-investment, no other serious or professional questions were asked.

When Mr. Yao treated Tan Mo, it was like an enemy meeting, and he was extremely jealous of him.

If it weren't for this little girl, how could he have made a wrong judgment, withdrawn his investment from "The Biography of Wei and Jin", and even almost ruined his relationship with Director Liu.

When we were filming "The Story of Wei and Jin", if Tan Mo could come out and explain clearly, even if it was not a public explanation, but a sincere explanation to him, he might have considered it.

Mr. Yao never considered that Tan Mo was not yet an adult at that time.

If Tan Mo really wanted to explain it to him, would he believe it?

Given Mr. Yao's personality, he will definitely feel that Tan Mo is not a good option, and in the end, either Tan Mo will leave or he will start to withdraw his investment.

But Mr. Yao naturally didn't think it was his fault.

Then the one who is wrong can only be Tan Mo.

"You must be Qi Mo." Although Mr. Yao was sitting, Tan Mo was standing.

But Mr. Yao still treated Tan Mo with a condescending attitude.

"I am." Tan Mo nodded coldly.

Since the other party had such an attitude, Tan Mo didn't even think about being polite.

Politeness is mutual.

Mr. Yao curled his lips and smiled.

There was some contempt and disdain in that smile.

He shook his head again before saying, "Your 'Biography of the Wei and Jin Dynasties' is indeed well written. I was looking forward to your next play, but after waiting for so long, I still haven't seen you release a second play. I thought you would only release this one play and didn't plan to write any more."

"Come to think of it, it's a good choice. Otherwise, if the next drama isn't well written, it'll ruin the reputation of your "Wei Jin Chronicles." It's nice to have one drama be considered a masterpiece forever," said Mr. Yao. "But I didn't expect you to write a second drama. But watching it, it's so disappointing."

"Your drama is too superficial and has no purpose at all. It's just for fun and people forget it after watching it. If it were made into a low-budget web drama, you could make some money. But if you shoot it the way Director Tan said, you'll only end up losing money." Mr. Yao shook his head.

"We're not doing charity here at Qicheng. We're investing in you even though we know we're going to lose money," Mr. Yao said disdainfully. "Besides, before writing the script, didn't you do market research? There's no market for fantasy dramas right now."

"If we really shoot something like this, who will we show it to?" Mr. Yao threw the information in his hand onto the table without any hesitation, like throwing away garbage, not taking it seriously at all.

"You think I'll invest in you just because of Director Hou and Director Liu's reputation?" Mr. Yao said disdainfully. "Then you should at least come up with a similar script! You can't treat us like fools."

"If we change the script, even if the script is suitable, will Qicheng really invest? Will they find all kinds of excuses to refuse again?" Tan Jinqi said with a serious face.

President Yao is clearly targeting Tan Mo!

"What did you say?" Mr. Yao's face changed and he stood up quickly, as if he had been hit on a sore spot.

"You said we didn't do market research," Tan Jinqi sneered. "You didn't hold a feasibility meeting, didn't ask people to calculate the specific investment. You're already rejecting me before I've even finished my presentation. Didn't you have that mindset of rejecting me from the start? No matter what I say, whether I say it or not, you won't agree."

"You asked me to come here today just to vent your anger and humiliate us." Tan Jinqi said coldly.

President Yao sneered in exasperation. "Young man, if the book is bad, it's bad. Don't feel embarrassed or ashamed because you were rejected, and then put the blame on us. Don't think that your book is good in every way and that we are wrong. We lack vision."

"This script is bad, it's bad," CEO Yao said coldly. "The success of Tan Mo's 'The History of the Wei and Jin Dynasties' is due to her understanding of history. But once she strays from that, her shortcomings as a non-professional screenwriter are exposed. Her grasp of the market is inaccurate, and the plot is superficial. More importantly, the production costs are too high, far exceeding the range of normal TV series. A mature screenwriter would have taken all these into consideration when writing the script. Otherwise, why are so many novels so good that no one makes them? It's because they turn out badly, aren't suitable for filming, and need major revisions."

"You're simply not going to succeed if you approach writing a script with the same mindset as you would a novel. This also proves that you're nothing but an amateur. The success of 'The History of Wei and Jin' is simply because the history it touches on is very real, and it has nothing to do with your screenwriting skills."

How could Tan Jinqi allow General Yao to slander Tan Mo like this?

He is a director. Can't he see that this script is filmable?

Mr. Yao was holding a grudge, so he took the opportunity to attack Tan Mo desperately.

Mr. Yao wanted to destroy Tan Mo's confidence, make Tan Mo start to doubt himself, and never have the courage to write a script again.

He is so evil!

"Mr. Yao, I heard that Qicheng has also bought an urban fantasy online novel and is preparing to start filming." Tan Jinqi said in a deep voice.

"That's right." Mr. Yao nodded. "You might as well go and take a look when you have time. That's what a good story should be like."

Tan Jinqi nodded, "Then I'll wait and see."

"Brother." Tan Mo suddenly called out from the side.

"Hmm?" Tan Jinqi turned to look at Tan Mo.

"Then let's try to broadcast it together with Qi Cheng's drama?" Tan Mo said with a smile.

Doesn’t Mr. Yao look down on it?

Doesn't this belittle the script?

Then she wanted to see which one would perform better, the urban fantasy drama that Mr. Yao favored or their fairy tale drama, if they were broadcast together.

Upon hearing this, President Yao didn't even bother to hide his feelings and sneered, "What? Still want to compete? You're not trying to 'beat' us, are you?"

Mr. Yao's words made everyone at the table burst into laughter.

"Little girl," Manager Zhang said with a smile, "We bought a major IP that pioneered the urban fantasy genre. It's been hailed as a classic for years, with over 100 million fans. Those fans alone have laid the foundation for our viewership. It's nothing compared to some improvised, unread Xianxia novel you made up."

"I know that book; it's a true classic. Even our school has quite a few fans." Tan Mo didn't care about Manager Zhang's attitude. "However, filming it would require a lot of high-quality special effects. The imaginative imagery can't be achieved on a low budget. And the storyline falls into the category that President Yao mentioned: difficult to film."
