"And the cultivation system inside is completely different, but it can be combined with the existing Buddhist scriptures." Tan Jinqi said.

"Then are you confident that after filming, this drama can achieve the effect of "The History of Wei and Jin Dynasties", become a classic directly, and cause many to follow suit, but still not be surpassed?" asked Mr. Gao.

I thought I would hesitate after talking about chess.

Who dares to make such a boast?

Even if Director Hou and Director Liu were here, they wouldn't dare to make such a guarantee.

Unexpectedly, Tan Jinqi said without hesitation: "I have confidence."

Mr. Gao: “…”

I never expected that Tan Jinqi would be so immodest.

"But confidence alone is useless." Mr. Gao had to say.

"Can you guarantee it?" Mr. Gao asked.

"I can indeed guarantee it," Tan Jinqi said, "but I'm afraid you won't believe me. After all, it hasn't aired yet, and we don't know the results, so any guarantees are just empty talk."

Mr. Gao nodded, "Indeed."

"I'm sorry, we really don't dare to bet on this drama." President Gao stood up and extended his hand towards Tan Jinqi.

The two shook hands.

"The investment is too huge, and it's a difficult topic to achieve results." Although Mr. Gao refused, his attitude was much better than Qi Cheng's, so Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo did not feel unhappy or disappointed.

"Even if the subject matter you want to shoot is more popular now, such as a family drama, a drama focusing on children's learning, an idol drama, etc., we are willing to cooperate with you. However, the fairy tale theme is not currently in our company's plan."

"I understand." Tan Jinqi nodded and said nothing more.

"I look forward to working with you again next time," Mr. Gao said politely. "As Director Hou's favorite disciple, even Director Liu has praised your abilities on various occasions. I'm still looking forward to working with you."

Tan Jinqi also exchanged a few polite words with Mr. Gao, then left with Tan Mo.

Under such circumstances, Tan Mo had no hope of going to Zhulu Culture tomorrow.

Sure enough, Zhulu Culture also holds a pessimistic attitude towards this subject matter.

They also said that their current slate of dramas to be developed is already saturated, with several dramas already lined up for development, and they have no plans to purchase new dramas in the short term.

I just bought a few IPs and planned to develop them into low-cost web dramas, but I just bought them first and put them in backlog.

Wait until the time is right to formally launch the project.

However, they feel that the risk is too great for a drama with high investment costs like Tan Jin Qi.

Coming out of Zhulu Culture Company, Tan Mo stopped, looked up at Tan Jinqi and said, "Brother, it's okay. Otherwise, we can just shoot it ourselves."

"We're investing our own money, so we have the final say on cost control," Tan Mo said. "Just like you told Mr. Yao from Qicheng yesterday, we don't have to hire expensive actors. There are so many well-known actors who are cheap. We can save the difference in hiring those higher-paid actors and put it into production."

"Besides, we're investing ourselves, so we have the final say on which actors to use and how to spend the money. We don't have to listen to the investors. They've invested, so if they want to get involved, we can't refuse everything," Tan Mo said. "Even Director Liu can't have complete autonomy because he has to consider the investors' wishes. There are some decisions that Director Liu doesn't agree with, and he has to argue with them. It's very annoying and greatly affects his ability to concentrate on filming. Otherwise, 'The Story of Wei and Jin' would have been much better."

"Since we want to adopt the model of American TV series, we might as well learn their principles for selecting actors. The main thing is to choose the right one. Many actors in hit dramas nowadays were not well-known before they participated in the show. After that, they gradually became well-known because of the success of the show. Of course, there are also cases where well-known actors are directly invited, but the proportion is not large." Tan Mo said.

"Instead of directly looking for well-known actors or popular artists, hoping to use their fame to promote our drama, it would be better to use our drama to turn previously unknown actors into well-known ones. In the future, will we still have to worry about not having actors for each drama we shoot? Regardless of whether they are famous or not, we only look at their talent and build our own unique brand."

“Instead of looking for stars, it’s better to create them.”

Originally, Tan Jinqi felt a little heavy in his heart.

He must film this drama.

If it really doesn't work, he even thought about making a bet with the film and television company.

If he wins, he earns.

If he loses, he pays.

In short, it must be filmed.

But he was rejected by three companies in a row, especially Mr. Yao who deliberately attacked Tan Mo.

Instead, he was worried that Tan Mo would be hit hard by this. Although he wouldn't be completely devastated, his self-confidence would be affected.

After all, Tan Mo has been doing well since he was born.

Pampered by family and Wei Zhiqian.

From the time he started school, he showed his genius.

He was admitted to Peking University at the age of 15, and subsequently demonstrated amazing abilities in ancient Chinese, history, aerospace engineering, and mathematics.

It seems like there is nothing she can't do.

Anything that Tan Mo touches will be successful.

This is probably the first time that someone has said something so unpleasant about Tan Mo.

Tan Jinqi was not trying to comfort Tan Mo, nor was he having a filter because she was his sister.

I really think Tan Mo's script is great.

For this reason, he didn't want Tan Mo to be affected by Mr. Yao's words, which were obviously said out of revenge.

Unexpectedly, Tan Mo was not affected at all, but instead started to make plans.

"You haven't said anything just now, are you just thinking about these?" Tan Jinqi's eyebrows were much more relaxed.

"Yes." Tan Mo nodded and asked puzzledly, "If you don't think about these, what should you think about?"

This matter is so important, we need to plan it carefully.

"Yes, that's what we should think about." Tan Jinqi nodded with a smile.

The words of people like Mr. Yao are not important and there is no need to care about them.

"What you just said makes a lot of sense." Tan Jinqi nodded. "We can definitely move in this direction. And without other people telling us what to do, we'll definitely feel more comfortable filming."

Just as he finished talking about chess, his cell phone rang.

Tan Jinqi took out his cell phone and saw that it was Wei Zhiqian calling.

He couldn't help but feel a little strange, as Wei Zhiqian always contacted Tan Mo.

Even if there is something, I will ask Tan Mo to convey it.

How come you changed your mind today and contacted him?

Tan Jinqi picked up the phone with doubts.

Tan Jinqi glanced at Tan Mo and called out, "Uncle."

Wei Zhiqian: “…”

Tan Mo: “…”

Uncle?

Where did their uncle come from?
