"Dad, it's me." Tan Jinqi spoke.
"Why are you here?" Tan Wenci's tone suddenly changed 360 degrees.
Everyone: “…”
The painting style of Tan Wen Ci is actually like this!
How big is the difference in status between Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi in the Tan family?
Tan Jinqi: "..."
In front of outsiders, please at least give me some face.
"Dad, Momo is indeed next to me." Tan Jinqi said directly in front of everyone, "We are in a meeting at Kefeng. However, Manager Wu of the Development Department of Kefeng's TV Drama Division feels that since this is my first time directing a drama and I have no previous work, he is not confident in handing the drama to me."
Tan Wenci nodded, "What he said makes sense."
Everyone: “…”
"He also thinks Momo has no experience, so he wants to hire a famous screenwriter to be the chief writer and let Momo be his deputy." Tan Jinqi said again.
"Bullshit!" Tan Wenci was furious. "Does he think the Wei and Jin Chronicles are shit?"
Everyone: “…”
Manager Wu just thought that the discussion on literature was actually quite reasonable.
I didn't expect that his attitude would change when we turned to talk about writing.
"The idea was Momo's, and the script was written by Momo. Why should we let someone else be the main writer and let Momo be the assistant? Isn't our Momo a great screenwriter? If he has the guts, let him talk to Director Liu Runlin! See if Director Liu agrees!"
Tan Jinqi was unable to get a word in at this point.
Then he heard Tan Wenci angrily say, "You guys are still in Kefeng now, right?"
"Yes." Tan Jinqi nodded.
"Just wait, I'll be right there!" Tan Wenci cursed. "I worked so hard to build Tan Yue up to this size, only to watch my daughter get bullied?"
"Dad." Tan Jinqi quickly called him.
Fearing that it was too late, Tan Wenci rushed here in a hurry.
"Mo Mo said that if this drama loses money, our family will cover the production costs." Tan Jinqi said.
"Sure." Tan Wenci agreed without even thinking about it.
"Manager Wu doesn't believe Momo can represent our family, so I made this call." Tan Jinqi finally explained the matter clearly.
"I thought it was a small matter. What can't Momo represent?" Tan Wenci had already guessed that Tan Jinqi must be using the hands-free mode at this time.
When it comes to literature, of course we have to support it.
Of course, this is also his true words.
Manager Wu couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Tan, do you know how much this investment is?"
"I know." Tan Wenci said immediately, "Isn't it just a little over 600 million? It's no big deal."
"My daughter wrote the script and my son confirmed the project. How could I not know how much the production cost is?" Tan Wenci rolled his eyes across the phone.
Are you stupid!
"Originally, even if Kefeng Investment was agreed upon, I would have invested under Tan Yue's name," Tan Wenci said. "But now, since Kefeng still looks down on my son and daughter, let's not discuss it. We'll just invest on our own."
"Who said you don't like it!" Wei Zhiqian's hurried voice came from the door, as if he was in a hurry.
When everyone looked, they saw that it was Wei Zhiqian who really appeared.
"What's wrong with you! I fought hard to get this project handed over to you, and what have you done to me?" Wei Zhiqian said hurriedly, and then said to the phone, "Uncle Tan, please forgive my mismanagement."
"Humph!" Tan Wenci said, "Anyway, I'm here, what Mo Mo says absolutely counts."
Tan Wenci hung up the phone, and Manager Wu also learned from Tan Wenci about Tan Mo's status in the Tan family.
What Tan Mo just said was by no means bragging.
"I am very confident about this drama. I should say that as long as it is a drama written by Tan Mo, it will never fail and lose money." Wei Zhiqian said.
"President." Everyone then remembered to call him.
Wei Zhiqian nodded casually and said to Manager Wu, "However, if you really need compensation, I can pay it all personally."
No need to talk about home.
"I believe in the abilities of Momo and Jinqi. But even if a miracle really happens, the show will lose money," Wei Zhiqian added.
Everyone: “…”
How much confidence do you have in Tan Mo?
If the drama loses money, it will take a miracle to happen.
"I recommended Momo and Jinqi, and I also wanted to shoot this drama, so I will take full responsibility." Wei Zhiqian said, his eyes slowly drifting towards Manager Wu.
"But if this drama makes a lot of money, Manager Wu, what will you have to pay?" Wei Zhiqian said in a deep voice.
Manager Wu: “…”
The show made money, so why should he pay?
"You have serious objections to them both being directors and screenwriters, believing they can't produce or write a good drama. If you give this project to them, it will most likely fail."
"Mo Mo also said that if the show loses money, she will pay for it." Wei Zhiqian smiled slightly, with a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth.
"But if this drama performs well, it means that you, who opposed them from the beginning, made a wrong judgment." Wei Zhiqian said coldly, "Tan Mo insisted on being the screenwriter herself and not having a team. If this decision is proven wrong in the future, she will pay the price for her mistake."
"What about you? What price will you pay for your mistake?" Wei Zhiqian tilted his head slightly.
Zhou Jing'an, who had come with Wei Zhiqian, stepped forward and said, "The night before yesterday at 7:35 PM, Manager Wu, screenwriter Xue Yuanfei, and some industry insiders met at the Qingyuexuan Club for dinner and entertainment. Xue Yuanfei even invited some internet celebrities to join them."
"Manager Wu was involved in the development of nine television series, five of which were written by Xue Yuanfei. Of these five, three performed poorly, facing widespread online criticism for bloating and over-the-top supporting roles. Of the other two series, one performed well in the first half, but in the second half, netizens found that the lead actors only appeared for about three minutes per episode, with the rest of the screen time filled with supporting roles."
"The other one is even worse. The first third of the plot is quite good, but the remaining two-thirds deviates significantly from the main theme, even shocking netizens' worldviews. It's more than just a case of adding extra scenes for supporting characters and bloating the plot."
"According to the survey, 80 percent of netizens explicitly stated that they would look at the screenwriter's name when watching a drama in the future. And all of these 80 percent of netizens said that if they see screenwriter Xue Yuanfei's name again, they will avoid the drama."
"As far as I know, for Tan Mo's drama, 'Broken Continent,' Manager Wu, you insisted on finding a famous screenwriter to be the lead writer and build a writing team. This famous screenwriter is Xue Yuanfei."
"After the dinner at Qingyuexuan, you agreed to let Xue Yuanfei be the main writer of this drama." Zhou Jing'an said coldly at this time, like an emotionless machine.
