Chapter 139 TV Series



"Hello..." Zhu Jin was sitting at the table in the hospital cafeteria. He looked at the three people who suddenly sat opposite him and quickly turned around to swallow the food in his mouth.

"Ms. Zhu Jin, that's quite interesting..." As a famous host, Tian Nanxing came out fully armed. Seeing Zhu Jin's reaction, he took off his sunglasses and mask, pointed to the two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, and introduced them, "This is Director Cang Shu, and Screenwriter Ma Tang..."

"They want to shoot a historical drama and would like to invite you to be the director..." Tian Nanxing's voice became smaller and smaller under Zhu Jin's gaze.

"Hello, Doctor Zhu Jin." The fat director Cang Shu touched his head and introduced himself awkwardly, "I'm so sorry for being so presumptuous... Ever since Doctor Zhu Jin mentioned the ancient fonts and the real princess published the history, we have always had an idea to make a TV series about a certain period in our history. However, because it is too difficult, we have not put it into action. After watching your etiquette program these days, we would like to ask for your guidance. With your guidance, our TV series will definitely be made."

Director Cang Shu patted the tall and thin middle-aged man next to him and said, "This is screenwriter Ma Tang, one of the best screenwriters on our Blue Water Star. The quality can be guaranteed..."

"Ms. Zhu Jin, they are the best directors and screenwriters on our Blue Water Planet. The stories they write and the TV series and movies they make are all the best. The combination of the two of them, plus you, will definitely make the best historical drama. Oh, I can't wait to see it..." After Tian Nanxing and other directors Cang Shu stopped talking, she immediately took over the conversation as agreed, and she became excited as she spoke.

“…I will try my best to write a good script.” The taciturn screenwriter Ma Tang promised.

"My idea is to let the TV series reflect the most realistic living conditions of our ancestors and restore the true history. I have filmed historical dramas before, but after reading the history and watching Dr. Zhu Jin's etiquette program, I felt that it was simply rubbish!" Director Cang Shu was very sad.

"No, no, Director Cang's works are all classics..." Tian Nanxing immediately raised her voice, "Who among the people of Shuilan Star doesn't praise them..."

While they were arguing, Zhu Jin finally sat up and thought. TV series... She knew TV series, the kind that were almost the same and didn't require any consideration of possibility... uh... fantasy stories. Zhu Jin had watched TV series before, watching them out of curiosity and a learning mentality, but in the end she didn't learn anything, but instead felt dizzy. In modern TV series, people dressed similarly to today's clothes, they would hug and kiss at every turn, and have sex regardless of whether they were married or not...

As for the so-called ancient TV series, not to mention those bald heads, it was hard for her to find any similarities between the characters in those TV series and her previous life. And most importantly, the characters in these TV series, regardless of their identities, were "in love" all day long, including those emperors...

She finally gave up watching it because she couldn't bear it anymore. Now they came to her and asked her to be the director of the TV series...

Zhu Jin was frowning when Luo Le, who had finished his meal and went to buy drinks, came back. He looked at Tian Nanxing and the other two and was so excited that his voice trembled, "Ah... You are Tian Nanxing, you are Director Cang Shu!..."

"Please keep your voice down..." Tian Nanxing immediately looked around.

“…Sit down and talk calmly…I’ve told you so many times.” Zhu Jin held his forehead with his hand, his tone helpless.

"Okay..." Basil happily agreed and sat down, looking at the three people in front of him with shining eyes, "Are you here to see a doctor?"

"Yes, hello, Doctor Luo Le." Thanks to Zhu Jin, Tian Nanxing knew Luo Le, who usually followed Zhu Jin. "Our director Cang wants to invite Miss Zhu Jin to be the instructor of the historical TV series and provide guidance in various aspects."

Luo Le was excited again when he saw Tian Nan Xing knew his name. He looked at Zhu Jin and his voice trembled, "That's great! I'm really looking forward to watching the TV series!"

"Doctor Zhu Jin hasn't agreed yet..." Tian Nanxing realized an important problem belatedly. Zhu Jin didn't say a second word except the three words "Hello" at the beginning.

"Doctor, please agree... I really want to see, I really want to see how our ancients lived..." Basil immediately turned to Zhu Jin.

"I've watched some TV series, but they didn't leave a very good impression on me, especially the ancient ones." Zhu Jin looked at the three of them and pondered, "Let's not talk about modern TV series, just the ancient ones. Although I don't know what the regulations and requirements are for TV series, or how they are produced, if you want to evaluate them, I can only give two words: messy and meaningless."

"...Ahem." Director Cang Shu rarely heard such sharp comments in person. He was choked and coughed twice before saying, "Because of the lack of historical data, those are all heard from elders, or from some incomplete pictures, or from the screenwriters and directors' own imagination... They cannot withstand any verification, so I rarely shoot ancient TV series..."

"By the way, isn't ancient medicine a lost ancient medical technique? It can be used in TV dramas." Tian Nanxing suddenly said, "I read in historical materials that in ancient times, men were superior to women and polygamy was practiced. During the feudal society, the emperor and princesses had great power. To be honest, I can't imagine what polygamy is like."

"I can't imagine it either." Luo Le agreed, "Doctor Zhu Jin, you can give them some guidance. Nowadays, when ancient TV dramas are released, most of them are questioned."

"Kids nowadays think that ancient times were like that when they watch TV dramas. When they go to school to formally study ancient history, they always doubt the textbooks..." Ma Tang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "I have been writing scripts for many years, and have consulted and learned from many historians. I have also read a lot of historical materials and have some understanding of ancient history. Therefore, I have never been able to tolerate those messy ancient TV dramas that were shot just to attract attention. This time, since I am going to write, I must write a qualified script!"

Ma Tang's voice was filled with anger. After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Zhu Jin didn't say anything either, because what Ma Tang said was that children nowadays think that ancient history was like that...

Zhu Jin took a deep breath and said, God knows, this is simply a sin.

"Doctor Zhu Jin, I've seen your embroidery works and watched every episode of your show. You give me the impression that you have a very deep understanding of ancient history and culture, to a level that no one else can match. What you've shown now is just the tip of the iceberg." Director Cang Shu finally returned to his usual state and looked into Zhu Jin's eyes. "I can feel that Doctor Zhu Jin, you also value ancient culture and want to pass it on. My TV series is definitely more effective than your show or other methods. Please help us and let us make a real ancient history drama."

Zhu Jin was gradually moved. Cang Shu continued to work hard and took out his trump card. "We want to let the people of Shuilan Star know how our ancients lived. We want the world, especially children, to know what our true history is like. Doctor Zhu Jin, please agree to this. Only you can do this."

"Ms. Zhu Jin..." Tian Nanxing, who was innocently affected and belittled by Cang Shu's words, glared at Cang Shu reflexively, and then looked at Zhu Jin eagerly, "Just agree to it. Didn't you promise last time that if the opportunity is right, you would come to my show again to talk about ancient costumes? Just agree to it this time, we really want to see how our ancestors lived."

"Doctor..." Basil said anxiously, "Doctor, I will continue to work hard and share your work so that you have time to guide them. I will also take care of the new people and teach them as soon as possible."

Such a request... Zhu Jin thought about the possibility of turning the real world of his previous life into a TV series. He couldn't help but feel moved at the thought of letting the future generations who had just recovered history see the real historical phenomena.

No one else can restore the image authentically except her, and even Shang Lu cannot compare to her in this respect.

Although Shang Lu was once an official in the court, his understanding of various social classes was completely inferior to hers. When she was "learning" the medical skills of the imperial doctors, she also knew a lot about the imperial palace and the harem, and she also read countless ancient books in the imperial palace collection with the emperor, princes, princesses, etc. From precious bamboo slips and silk books to banned books and rare books from various dynasties, the books covered everything. This knowledge, plus Zhu Jin's travels across the country for decades, such experience and experience, is something Shang Lu can never match.

Zhu Jin recalled, thinking of the lost cultural skills that also existed in her previous life, and the medical skills that she once regretted, and then thought about the current situation of the people of the Blue Water Star, and the unscrupulous sarcasm of the Licheng planet a few days ago... Zhu Jin admitted that she was moved. She was obviously an ancient person, her mind was full of ancient culture, and she also wanted to pass on the ancient civilization. So if she chose to use a TV series and pass it on in a more vivid way, what was wrong with that?

Zhu Jin figured it out, but the word "TV series" left a very bad impression on her. "How good can my guidance be? Those historical dramas nowadays are not up to standard in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation."

"Absolutely!" Cang Shu's eyes lit up quickly, and he spoke in an extremely domineering manner, "If it's unreasonable and without your approval, I'd rather not shoot it!" After that, he looked at Ma Tang, "Is that right?"

Ma Tang nodded with a smile on his face.

After Ma Tang nodded, Cang Shu waved his hand and said, "Food, clothing, shelter, transportation, props and backgrounds are all under your guidance. We should do as the ancients did. If a word or a piece of clothing is wrong, you have the right to point it out!"

"If that's the case..." Zhu Jin pursed her lips, "I have to tell you that it's not easy to restore the true history." It's not easy, but too difficult.

"I know it's not easy, but with your guidance and support, I can strive for government support." Cang Shu is very ambitious and domineering. "Not only do I want to shoot an ancient historical drama, I also want to build an ancient city, a real ancient city. I want everything to be real!"

Now not only the red basil, but also the crabgrass and the arisaema were stunned, "..." They couldn't have imagined that Atractylodes had this idea.

Building an ancient city... does that mean rebuilding the city where one lived in the previous life? Zhu Jin was also a little confused. This was really a big deal.
