"You are too strict. It's just like when we were in school and the homeroom teacher secretly lay on the window at the back door of the classroom to watch the students in class." Director Liu laughed.
"Since he is my student, I have to be strict with him. I hope he can become independent as soon as possible and make a qualified work, so that my reputation will not be tarnished in the future." Director Hou said with a smile.
Director Liu didn't expect that Hou Yuehai had such high expectations for Tan Jinqi.
"You're just saying it. How could you not understand your own apprentice?" Director Liu said with a smile, "Jinqi is great. He works diligently for me and completes everything perfectly. Not only does he get things done well and efficiently, but he also actively watches me direct and learns from me. He never wastes a single opportunity to learn. If I had an apprentice like him, I'd be overjoyed. Just pretend with me."
Hou Yuehai walked towards Tan Jinqi with a smile.
Having been a director for so long, there's no need to ask Director Liu; he can guess most of what's going on just by looking at the situation.
Tan Jinqi left Ding Mengfei behind and went to Hou Yuehai.
"Teacher!" Tan Jinqi called out happily, "Why are you here?"
"Nothing, just came to see you." Hou Yuehai patted Tan Jinqi's shoulder. "I heard from Director Liu that you performed very well and didn't embarrass me as your teacher."
Ding Mengfei followed and her expression changed when she heard this. She asked with a smile, "Director Hou, is Assistant Director Tan your student?"
Director Hou does not teach at the school.
The student he was talking about was naturally not just one of the many students in the school.
They will only be students that I personally teach.
Ding Mengfei's mind remained unchanged.
I didn’t expect that Tan Jinqi had such a background!
"Yes, I just finished filming my last movie and am taking a break. So I decided to introduce him to Director Liu to learn from him so that he wouldn't be idle while I'm taking a break." Director Hou paused, raising his eyebrows slightly. "When I came here just now, I saw that you two seemed to be arguing?"
"Tell me what Jinqi did wrong and I will teach him a lesson," Director Hou said.
At this time, Ding Mengfei didn't dare to say anything bad about Tan Jinqi. She just laughed it off and let the matter go.
Director Hou arrived on time.
It was lunch time.
"Come on, come on, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Director Liu put his arm around Director Hou's shoulders. "Let's go have dinner."
"Teacher Zhang, Teacher Chen, Teacher Gu, let's go together. I'll treat you." The three people Director Liu called out mostly played supporting roles and rarely played the leading role, but they had first-class acting skills and a wide network of contacts.
Director Liu had his own reasons for calling them.
Ding Mengfei looked on eagerly, but Director Liu only called these three and no one else.
Ding Mengfei couldn't even bring herself to recommend herself.
A few of them drove to a restaurant street near the film and television city and found a restaurant they often ate at.
Because they still had to film in the afternoon, no one ordered any wine.
"Director Liu, I was just wondering where you found this young screenwriter. She might be young, but the script is brilliant." Zhang Kangwang sipped tea instead of wine. "I haven't seen such a brilliant script in years. It's completely different from the one you gave me before. Honestly, that version should do well after it's filmed, but it definitely won't become a classic. It might be exciting for a while, but it's hard to keep it around and keep it popular year after year."
Now that the script has changed, Zhang Kangwang can tell the truth.
"But this version is different now. Even after a few years, people will still be able to study and discuss it." Zhang Kangwang sighed, "A drama like this is something you can only come across once in a while."
"This time, it can be considered a blessing in disguise." Director Liu finally found an opportunity to give a good talk.
Director Liu said to the others, "Especially Shen Jingyi. You must remember this name. If you come across anyone related to this in the future, you must avoid her and never use her. She's such a rip-off. She almost made me lose my pants."
"You should all remind the people around you about this matter, so that they won't be cheated without knowing it." Director Liu's true purpose was finally revealed.
But what he said was right, and everyone listened to him. They planned to tell their friends about the news when they had nothing to do after dinner and rest.
Our circle is wide and covers many aspects.
This aspect may be involved at some point.

Ding Mengfei was in her RV, eating a light meal to reduce fat while thinking about the script.
"I can't go on like this," Ding Mengfei said to her agent. "I came to film this drama to build my reputation. But now, my role is pitifully small. Even if I want to promote my acting skills, it will be hard to find clips. Each clip only has a few lines. Occasionally I come across a clip with a longer role, but I can't just market that one clip over and over again, right? Not only will netizens get tired of it, but it won't help me market my acting skills either. Who would market their acting skills by just marketing that one clip?"
"Besides, I was originally planning to market my look, something like outshining someone else." There's no need to panic if I'm not the female lead. As long as I can widely advertise my outshining persona and brainwash the audience, the effect will be just as good as playing the female lead. "That way, if I take on two more dramas, I should be able to get the female lead role. But now, it's all useless."
The agent is also anxious because it will only be good for her if the artist becomes popular.
"Sister Lin, Tan Mo is a little-known girl, yet she's writing such a big book. The book is good, but the investors don't know about it." Ding Mengfei whispered to Sister Lin, "If the investors knew about this, would they think it's unreliable?"
"Which investor do you want to tell?" Sister Lin frowned.
"Hmm, who am I? Even if I could contact them, I can't get through to the person in charge." Ding Mengfei put down her chopsticks. "If I could get through, would I still be relying on playing supporting roles to build up my reputation? I can't even go to the director to protest that my role is too small."
Sister Lin nodded. When she heard Ding Mengfei say that just now, Sister Lin thought that Ding Mengfei had secretly gone out to attend a dinner party and meet some boss without her knowledge.
She didn't mind Ding Mengfei doing this, but she had to know about it.
This way we can keep in touch with each other and solve any problems that arise.
"I mean, it will be exposed on the Internet." Ding Mengfei said in a low voice. She was very afraid that it would get out. Then she would have to forget about filming this movie, and she might even be banned by Director Liu.
"Let those gossip marketing accounts spread the word. Once rumors start spreading, the investors will definitely intervene." Ding Mengfei sneered, "I can't add any more drama to myself. But Tan Mo won't let me have an easy time, and I can't let her get away with it!"
"You're so young, yet so cruel." Ding Mengfei sneered, "You're actually controlling my future!"
