Tan Jinqi guessed that Tan Mo would not take the script seriously after reading it and would just forget about it.
Letting Tan Mo read the script was just to keep her from getting bored.
Tan Mo picked up the script and said, "Brother, go ahead. I'm coming with you just to see your work. When you go back and talk to Mom and Dad and my brothers, we can all rest assured. I'm not here to cause you any trouble."
"I understand." Tan Jinqi smiled.
As the eldest brother, I actually made my 15-year-old sister worry.
With mixed feelings of being touched and feeling that he was not competent as a brother, Tan Jinqi threw himself into his work.
Tan Mo had nothing to do, so he took a look at the script. After reading for a while, he felt that the script was... a bit ridiculous, so he stopped reading.
Tan Mo secretly ran over and stayed in a corner where he could see Tan Jinqi, watching him busying around.
It can be seen that Director Liu is still very dedicated to making this drama.
The costumes and props are all very exquisite.
Although the restoration may not be so accurate, it does try to restore the style of the time as much as possible while ensuring that it looks beautiful and textured on camera.
After watching for a while and finding it boring, Tan Mo returned to the lounge.
At noon, Tan Jinqi returned to the lounge with lunch.
He was afraid that Tan Mo would not be used to the boxed lunches provided by the crew, so he specially ordered lunch from the restaurant.
"What do you think after reading the script?" Tan Jinqi asked casually.
He knew that since Tan Mo had joined Professor Tang's team, his knowledge of history must be extraordinary.
Tan Mo shrugged. "It's hard to say. It's a bit of a hodgepodge. It's a political drama, but there aren't many political plots. Maybe it's because when people mention the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, many people's first impression is the Wei and Jin style and the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove. Apart from a few political plots, the whole drama is just about the romanticism of famous scholars, with a little bit of love in the harem. Anyway, it has nothing to do with history."
Tan Mo remembered: "You said Director Liu was filming a historical drama this time. You didn't remember it wrong, did you?"
"No." Tan Jinqi shook his head. "Director Liu even hired a professional to discuss this with the screenwriter. Speaking of which, it seems that the professional Director Liu hired is a doctoral student in the History Department of Peking University."
"Ah?" Tan Mo was just surprised for a moment, but then he didn't think much about it.
The only people in the history department she knew were the seniors in Professor Tang’s team; she didn’t know anyone else.
"Anyway, if we use historical dramas to restore history for publicity..." Tan Mo shook his head, "I don't think it will work."
Tan Jinqi believed Tan Mo's words without a doubt.
After all, Tan Mo is a student who is fully recognized and highly praised by Professor Tang.
But he couldn't say anything to Director Liu.
Director Liu agreed to the script after reading it, and the crew was set up and funding began.
It's too late to offer any suggestions now.
If it were before, Tan Jinqi might have mentioned it to Director Liu.
Although it's not his responsibility.
But Director Hou allowed him to study with Director Liu, so it is obvious that he has a good relationship with Director Liu.
Whether Director Liu accepts his opinion is one thing, but reminding Director Liu is his intention.
Tan Jinqi felt a little regretful that he should have shown the script to Tan Mo earlier.
Seeing Tan Jinqi's expression, Tan Mo guessed, "Brother, are you hesitating? Should you tell Director Liu?"
Tan Jinqi let out a breath. "Actually, it's too late to tell Director Liu now. Revising the script takes time, and as you said, it's likely to need to be redone. Making the entire crew wait would be too much of a loss, not to mention the actors' schedules."
"But if we don't tell you, and it's really promoted as a historical drama, I'm worried that Director Liu's reputation will be damaged." Tan Jinqi frowned.
"Then persuade the director not to promote it as a historical drama," said Tan Mo.
Tan Jinqi shook his head. "You saw it just now when you were walking around outside. They put a lot of effort into the costumes and props, trying to be as authentic as possible. Director Liu also invested a lot of time and energy in preparing this drama. The actors are all talented. There are also many veteran actors who are willing to play supporting roles, just because this is a serious drama. If they suddenly remove the original promotional points during the promotion, I'm afraid many people will be dissatisfied."
"Brother, do whatever you want to do." Tan Mo said, "It's important to follow your heart."
We talked about chess and laughed, but no decision was made.
He is not the kind of person who hesitates.
But he couldn't involve Tan Mo.
The only person he was really concerned about was Tan Mo.
If he had raised this issue with Director Liu, Director Liu would have been surprised. He had gotten the script a long time ago, so why hadn't he raised these opinions before? Why did he raise them today when the crew had already started preparing?
We need to come up with a reason that Director Liu will believe, but we can't involve Tan Mo.
He couldn't cause Tan Mo any trouble.
Tan Mo knew what Tan Jinqi was worried about, so he told him to do whatever he wanted.
No need to worry about her.
Neither the brother nor the sister said it out loud, but they both understood each other.
If you want to talk about chess and laugh, you naturally won’t listen to Tan Mo.
If he couldn't ensure that Tan Mo wouldn't be implicated, he wouldn't say anything.
Between Director Liu and Tan Mo, he of course chose Tan Mo.
This doesn't even need to be considered.
Unexpectedly, the door of the lounge where only they, the siblings, were present, suddenly opened.
They both looked over in surprise and saw a woman wearing retro gold-rimmed round glasses standing at the door. She looked to be in her twenties or thirties, but it was hard to tell more specifically.
At this moment, she rushed in angrily: "Assistant Director Tan, your sister is young and naive, but you are such an adult, aren't you also ignorant? Are you letting your sister talk nonsense here?"
Tan Jinqi's face darkened and he stood up.
He had already prepared himself mentally for working outside, especially in the entertainment industry, where the waters are murky.
He can endure some forbearance and some grievances.
It doesn’t matter what happens to him, but it must not involve Tan Mo!
"Writer Yuan has great qualities," Tan Jinqi said coldly, "How long have you been eavesdropping outside the door?"
Yuan Qishan just passed by and happened to hear them discussing the script inside.
In fact, the sound insulation in the room is not too bad, but Yuan Qishan is particularly sensitive to keywords such as script.
Hearing that they seemed to be discussing a script, I couldn't help but stop and stick to the door to listen carefully.
Unexpectedly, she heard Tan Mo say that her script was not well written!
Although Tan Mo didn't say it directly, this is a historical drama, but her script is not a historical drama at all. Doesn't this mean that she didn't write it well?
By the way, he also mocked her for not understanding history and being uncultured.
If she had no education, could she be a screenwriter?
Judging from what Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi said, it seemed that they wanted to tell Director Liu.
