Cute Brother Badass Family Protector

Chapter 199: Tearing

He wasn't too worried about rewriting the script because it was impossible for Director Liu to do that due to funding issues, but it would still affect his reputation if the director thought it was a scriptwriting problem.

And if his reputation was affected, it would be difficult for him to work with large-scale production in the future, and his wages would drop drastically.

Even if the siblings did not bring the matter to Director Liu, they might still talk about it online and others would eventually find out about it, which would affect his reputation as well.

That was why he had to step in and talk about it with them.

What angered him the most was the fact that Tan Mo, a 15-year-old girl, spoke bad things about the script he wrote.

“I remember your sister telling me that you were 15, right?” Yuan Qishan smiled.

“What are you? 9-year-old or something? Aren't you just a high school student? Do you really think you know our history just because you learned it in class? It's a lot more complicated than you think, little girl. It's not like reading something from a textbook!”

“You really are a strange person,” Tan Mo sighed.

“I'm just chatting in private with my brother here. What does that have to do with you? I mean, yes, we're talking about the script, but we didn't mention anything about making changes to it. Aren't you the brute here who suddenly walked into our room and started accusing us? I'm just having a regular discussion with my brother here. Do we have to get your permission to do that?”

Tan Mo simply stated the facts, but it only made Yuan Qishan even more furious.

“So, tell me, which part of my script is wrong? And why can't I be mad?” Yuan Qishan roared.

“Who are you to tell me what to do? Do you really think Director Liu will accept my script if it's not good? Why don't you write one if you're that good? That's what you mean here, isn't it? That you know the history of our country better than I do? That you can write a better script than me?”

Yuan Qishan then turned to Tan Jinqi, “I hope you don't bring your sister here in the future. Children can be naive and disrespectful these days and do things that will embarrass others. She didn't get permission just because she was a child.”

However, Tan Jinqi won't play nice with him and scoffed, “Seriously, see how you react just because you heard someone discussing the matter in your script. How did you react when the drama premiered and everyone saw it? Do you think you can stop them from talking about it? If criticism like this cannot, how to deal with criticism from thousands, even millions of people?”

“That's not something you should worry about!” Yuan Qishan scolded.

Seeing how tall and mighty the screenwriter's acting was, Tan Jinqi was now curious where he graduated from. If Tan Mo was as naive as Yuan Qishan had said, then only a handful of people in the world would actually dare to say that they were not.

Just when Tan Jinqi was about to ask, Tan Mo interrupted. “Yes, it is wrong to say that the manuscript you wrote does not have a historical theme for it ..”

Yuan Qishan reacted mockingly.

Compared to the excited Yuan Qishan, the little girl was much calmer. “And who am I to influence the filming schedule, right? That's why we just chatted casually about it and nothing more.”

Tan Mo stopped and continued. “That's it, a casual discussion about the script you've written. In my opinion, the historical part of the script is too mediocre, but in terms of entertaining viewers, I would say it is perfect. But, if it's about promoting its history part, it might cause some misunderstanding among viewers.”

“Regularly? Entertaining?” Yuan Qishan laughed.

“Small girl, didn't you know that we even hired a history PhD student from Beijing University as a consultant on this? Are you saying you're better than a PhD student? A 15 year old girl? He was more than enough to be called a specialist in this topic! Do you want to challenge him? Then be my guest!”

“A PhD student from Beijing University?”

Tan Mo raised an eyebrow, not surprised by the news because Tan Jinqi had mentioned it. “Can I know his name?”

Tan Mo wanted to know because later he could ask Professor Tang why a PhD student could be so unreliable and make such a big mistake for letting Yuan Qishan make an inaccurate historical manuscript.

“Why do you want to know? Even if I tell you, there's no way you know who he is,” Yuan Qishan sneered, thinking that there's no way a 15-year-old would ever get acquainted with a student.

“But you will be surprised to know who the professor is. Have you heard of Professor Tang? One of the best and most famous historians in our country? He's the one who wrote the textbook you read in high school now. His professor. He is part of his research team.”

Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi turned to look at each other speechlessly. They never thought that a PhD student would actually be someone Tan Mo knew.

Seeing Tan Mo and Tan Jinqi speechless, Yuan Qishan thought that he had managed to scare them away with the fact that the specialist they had obtained was a disciple of a famous historian.

“Serious, little girl, next time, think twice before acting. Do you really think that a high school student like you knows more about history than the student of a famous historian?" Yuan Qishan laughed.

“Could Professor Tang recommend one of his students here for an internship?”

Tan Mo muttered to himself, but Tan Jinqi still heard him. She turned to her brother and whispered, “I'll ask Professor Tang later if that's the case. This student really did a bad job and tore the Director.”

After examining the list of students on Professor Tang's research team, the only person he thought would do such a wicked thing was Shen Jingyi. After spending some time with the team, the other team members seemed quite reliable in his eyes.

“Because Director Liu has invested a lot in this drama, if he really promotes it as a historical drama with extreme historical accuracy, he said, the backlash will be intense when the viewer sees that the drama is not as accurate as he mentioned. That would affect Director Liu's reputation,” Tan Mo chose to ignore Yuan Qishan and instead tell his brother.

“It is true that the production will suffer a loss if they rewrite the script,” Tan Mo continued, “But, it is still better than the audience leaving bad comments and low view counts, he said, don't you? Wouldn't that be more expensive? I'm sure famous directors and actors took this job because of how big the drama projected was, but if it fails, it will affect their reputation and future.”
