It was so good that their love extended to everything around them. Even treated Tan Jin Qi very carefully.
How many times did Professor Tang praise Tan Mo, even after meeting him a moment ago?
He had truly seized every opportunity he could to pave the way for Tan Mo.
The four of them arrived at the hotel, and Director Liu had already prepared a room for Professor Tang.
“I'll put my luggage. We will talk about the script after that,” Professor Tang said.
“You have made a long flight. The journey must have been exhausting,” Director Liu said. “You should rest first. We can talk about it tomorrow.”
“No need for that,” Professor Tang brushed aside with a wave of his hand casually. “The first first thing. You have to spend a lot of time on scripts. Although you will not make up for lost time, you will know that you spend less time on it overall.”
Director Liu nodded his head in appreciation. “Thank you very much Professor.”
“Don't thank me. Are you trying to humiliate this old man?” Professor Tang snorted in annoyance. “It's all my fault that the student made a whole mess of this situation delayed.”
After hearing this, Director Liu stopped talking about it. “Yeah, we have to have dinner.”
“All hotel parties send it to room.”
Professor Tang said as he entered the elevator. “We can discuss further while eating. There is no point wasting more time.”
“Good.” Director Liu went to his room. She quickly flipped through the menu and ordered her food through room service.
As a member of the scriptwriting team, Yuan Qi Shan had to attend the meeting. A few others came to Director Liu's room.
Director Liu's Room is a hotel suite. It has an attached living room which is the perfect place to hold a meeting.
The idea was that from then on, all meetings would be held in the room.
Food was delivered quickly as more and more people came to the hotel suite. The group ate and discussed at the same time.
Yuan Qi Shan sat nervously near the table as Professor Tang took out his printed version of the script. “I've highlighted the part we can save.”
Director Liu fell silent.
The part we can keep?
How many parts does he want to change?
Professor Tang continued to speak: “At first, I only planned to highlight the parts that were not suitable for the script, but it turned out to be too much. That's why I'm only highlighting the parts we can keep.”
“I agree with what Tan Mo said. Regime change, war, feuds, and conspiracies between different rulers, all very exciting in that period. Whether in court or on the battlefield, putting it all together will be more exciting than fiction itself. We've got something brilliant here; no need to gild lily.”
“What you all need to do is connect those historical events together smoothly. All aspects of the story, such as the court, the war, and its people, should be assembled into a story that the audience can understand and enjoy,” Professor Tang said.
He looked towards Tan Mo. “Tan Mo, what do you think?”
Tan Mo was looking through Professor Tang's bookmarks. He was in the courtyard about the Seven Xian Bamboo Forest.
Professor Tang had marked this passage as worth saving.
He's nodding. “What Professor Tang said is completely true. Also, a part of the Seven Xian Bamboo Forest can be included. Yuan once said that a script requires conflict, tension, and contrast. So, at that moment of chaos, the seven sages of the bamboo forest had enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, while the commoners were starving and poorly dressed. Most of their families fought in the war. In addition, most children and the younger generation want to find a way out of hell that — these three events can coexist to create conflict."
“There is a lot to write. Since there were no poor families at that time, contradictions would be emphasized and intensified in the palace, in the army, and in their livelihoods. Many self-centered families will put their own interests first and prioritize them over national interests. The general will fight for his survival. There are many things to write.”
Director Liu's eyes lit up after hearing this.
Hearing Tan Mo's story alone was already very interesting. It's not even on paper.
The original script had no grand moment in it at all.
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
“Who's coming this late?” Director Liu frowned as he stood up. “I've already told my assistant that we are having a meeting here and he won't bother us.”
He walked to answer the door.
“You haven't left?” Director Liu said without thinking.
Shen Jing Yi did not say anything.
It seemed like he did not want to deal with her now.
“I just arrived today, and I haven't even gotten a return ticket yet,” he said with a faint smile. “I thought maybe I'd stay one more night.”
“What's wrong with you?” Director Liu stood firmly in the doorway. He had no intention of letting her through.
He was not sure if he was bothered by it, but he was also unsure if he was trying to avoid it.
“Director Liu, have you eaten?” Shen JingYi asked. “Do you want to get down and pick up something while we chat?”
Shen Jing Yi did not need to do anything to direct Director Liu to these twisted thoughts.
Director Liu is amazing at directing. He often interacts with many people of culture. If anything, he would never reach his level.
She was not as young as the girls in the girl group, nor was she as well groomed in her appearance as the other female celebrities.
But he was fully aware of this shortcoming.
All he wanted was another chance.
“Oh, I'm eating now.” Director Liu gave him an indifferent smile. “You can eat by yourself.”
“Director Liu ..” Shen Jing Yi is still trying.
“I'm in a meeting right now. As you know, everything needs to be removed and reworked due to the overall script situation. I don't have time to waste,” he said indifferently.
Shen Jing Yi knew better who this was.
Professor Tang walked over. “Oh, let him in. We don't want strangers to see a young girl standing outside your door. It will look suspicious.”
Director Liu's face darkened.
In their field, this misunderstanding was bound to happen.
Even when they are discussing serious work, there will be paparazzi that will take pictures and turn the whole problem into something else.
He's used to it at the moment
Since he chose this career, then he should be prepared to face any consequences that would come his way.
But if he gets angry if he misjudges his taste.
Professor Tang's words really reminded him of that.
He looked at Shen JingYi. He kept lingering. It was clear that he was not planning to leave.
It was true that he could not continue to stand there. People will think about a lot of things and it will cause problems.
Director Liu had no choice but to step aside and reluctantly let him in. “Ayo.”
Shen Jing Yi would never have thought that Professor Tang would personally come.
He followed behind the two as his fingertips trembled nervously.
Only after entering the living room did he realize that Tan Jin Qi, Tan Mo and Yuan Qi Shan were also present.
He realized that it meant that other than Professor Tang, no one else was willing to tell him about this meeting.
“You are all here ... to discuss the script?” she asked.
“Ya,” replied Director Liu briefly. “The original script needs to be changed. We can't save a lot of initial content, and that's what we're discussing now.”
