It's so good that people love her so much that they even play chess with her attentively.
It hasn't been long since they met, and Professor Tang has already said so many good things about Tan Mo?
He simply seized every opportunity and raced against time to pave the way and support Tan Mo.
When the four of them returned to the hotel, Director Liu had already booked a room for Professor Tang.
Professor Tang took the initiative to say, "I'll go put down my luggage, and let's discuss the script."
"You've had a long flight and are tired from traveling so you should take a good rest first. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Director Liu advised.
"No thanks." Professor Tang waved his hand nonchalantly. "Business is more important. You'll be delayed quite a bit because of the script. While you can't make up for the lost time, at least you can minimize the loss."
Director Liu nodded gratefully: "Thank you very much."
"Don't thank me, are you trying to embarrass an old man like me?" Professor Tang said unhappily, "Isn't it all because of my student that things got delayed?"
Seeing this, Director Liu said nothing more: "At least you still have to eat dinner."
"Let's have the hotel deliver the food to our room," Professor Tang said after entering the elevator. "Let's eat and talk at the same time. Let's not waste time."
"Okay." Director Liu returned to the room, looked through the menu in the room, and called room service to place an order.
There is a script meeting to be held, and Yuan Qishan is still with the screenwriter group, so she is still needed to attend.
Several people came to Director Liu's room.
Director Liu's room is a suite, and the living room outside can be used as a meeting room.
I just thought about the daily meetings and discussions that we would have to have in his room.
Soon after they arrived, room service brought their meals over and they ate and discussed at the same time.
Yuan Qishan sat at the table nervously. Professor Tang took out the script he had printed out and said, "I've marked all the parts that can be kept."
Director Liu: “…”
The part that can be left.
So how many inappropriate parts are there in this script?
Then, Professor Tang said, "I was just going to mark the inappropriate parts, but there were just too many. I looked through the whole article and saw few that I could use, so I just marked the ones that did."
"I agree with Tan Mo. That period of history, with its shifting regimes, constant wars, and feudal separatism, the plots and schemes among the rulers were already quite fascinating. During that period, many heroes emerged, and whether in court or on the battlefield, their stories were even more fascinating than fiction. With such brilliant wisdom already readily available, why should we add to it?"
"Actually, what you need to do is connect those historical facts one by one. You need to string together the court, the war, the people, and every aspect of it into a story that the audience can understand and engage with." Professor Tang said, looking at Tan Mo. "Tan Mo, what do you think?"
Tan Mo was looking at the marks made by Professor Tang and happened to see the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.
This was marked by Professor Tang and can be retained.
Tan Mo nodded. "The professor is right. Furthermore, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove can be written. Screenwriter Yuan once said that a script needs conflict, tension, and contrast. So, in those chaotic times, the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove indulged in the beauty of nature and wine, while the common people were starving, poorly clothed, their families torn apart by the chaos of war. The noble son from a humble family wants to rise above the rest, struggling to carve out a path for himself. Can't these three characters be put together to highlight the contradiction?"
"At that time, there were no poor families among the upper class, so the conflict between the poor and the aristocratic families has always been there, becoming more and more intense and fierce. In the court, in the army, and among the people. The aristocratic families ignored the interests of the country for their own interests, and the poor generals struggled to survive. There are so many wonderful stories to write about."
Director Liu's eyes were full of brilliance.
Even though it hasn't been written yet, just hearing Tan Mo say this makes me feel it's wonderful.
There is a subtle sense of grandeur, which is simply incomparable to the petty style of the original script.
At this moment, the doorbell of Director Liu's room rang.
"Who would come at this time?" Director Liu frowned slightly, stood up and said, "I've already told my assistants that we're having a meeting here and no one is allowed to disturb us."
As he spoke, Director Liu walked towards the door.
He opened the door, and unexpectedly, Shen Jingyi was standing outside.
"You haven't left yet?" Director Liu blurted out his thoughts.
Shen Jingyi: "..."
He said this as if he was anxious to get her out of here.
"I just arrived today and haven't bought a ticket back yet." Shen Jingyi smiled and said, "I plan to stay here for one night first."
"What's the matter?" Director Liu was blocking the door, with no intention of letting Shen Jingyi in.
I don't know whether he dislikes her or is avoiding her.
"Director Liu, have you had dinner yet?" Shen Jingyi asked. "How about we go downstairs and eat while we talk?"
Shen Jingyi had no ill intentions to seduce Director Liu.
An actor of Director Liu's level usually comes into contact with so many artists, so if anything really happens, it won't be her turn.
In terms of youth, I am not as good as those girls in girl groups, and in terms of appearance, I am not as good as the well-maintained female stars.
She still has self-awareness.
I just want to get another chance.
"Oh, I'm eating right now." Director Liu smiled perfunctorily, "You can eat by yourself."
"Director Liu..." Shen Jingyi still wanted to try harder.
"I'm in a meeting with someone. You know, because of the script, everything has to be redone. I have every second of my time now and I can't waste any time." Director Liu said lightly.
Shen Jingyi had better know who is responsible for this.
"Xiao Liu, let her in." Professor Tang came over. "Otherwise, if someone sees you with a young girl blocking your door, you won't be able to explain yourself."
Director Liu's face turned even darker when he thought of this.
Being in this circle, it is inevitable that he will be misunderstood for such things.
Sometimes it’s just normal work or dinner, but paparazzi may maliciously take photos and take things out of context.
He's used to it.
Since I have chosen this line of work, I have to be mentally prepared to endure these.
But it would be very annoying if people misunderstood that he had poor taste.
Professor Tang's words reminded him.
Seeing that Shen Jingyi was determined to stay, he really couldn't linger at the door any longer, as it would cause trouble if someone saw him.
Director Liu had no choice but to make way and said to Shen Jingyi reluctantly, "Come in."
Shen Jingyi didn't expect that Professor Tang would come in person.
Her fingertips felt cold with anxiety as she followed Director Liu and Professor Tang.
When I entered the living room, I found that Tan Jinqi, Tan Mo and Yuan Qishan were also there.
In other words, except for Professor Tang, everyone who was there during the day was there, but they just didn't tell her.
"Are you...discussing the script?" Shen Jingyi asked.
"Yes," Director Liu said directly, "The original script can't be used anymore. There's not much left, so we're going to discuss and rework it."
