Chapter 227: Deleting Your Dialogue Line

“Is he a scriptwriter or consultant?” an actress asked as she looked at Tan Mo suspiciously.

Tan Mo had a faint memory of this woman. His name is Xu Miaotong. She is an actress who is known to have a high level of s*sexual chemistry.

He was well known to the public, and anyone who paid little attention to the entertainment industry would know his name.

Her acting skills were decent, but she could be hired for less than a popular top actress.

Director Liu was a little embarrassed to tell Tan Mo about this, but Xu Miaotong was brought in with recommendations from sponsors and managers.

Because there are already strong players, whether he performs well or not will not be so important. That was the only reason why Director Liu agreed to throw it away.

Not everyone in the older and experienced generations is indifferent to fame and fortune.

Many already have their own connections, and behind-the-scenes connections can shed more light on their public reputation.

Those who want to surpass them by being driven by managers and sponsors will have a hard time doing so.

But Xu Miaotong could also rely on his own connections behind the scenes.

He was unable to cause any problems with the big shots. Would he be afraid of Tan Mo?

“Director Liu, it's not that I'm superficial and belittling those younger than me. We can all admit that the older generation has better acting skills than us. But with someone as young as Tan Mo being a scriptwriter and consultant .. is he really reliable?"

A child as young as that becomes his teacher? That's kind of weird.

And also nervous..

Director Liu was not angry.

He also did not publicly state Tan Mo's age, just to try and prevent tension.

“Do not look down on him. He knows more than you think. The industry has become very specialized now,” explains Director Liu. “Tan Mo from Beijing University. He was a student of Professor Tang in the Department of History and Professor Gu in the Department of China. The two professors have personally told me how accomplished he is. Only by luck can we have it here."

“Even Principal Mu from Beijing University called me and said the same thing, and he even asked me to take good care of him.” Director Liu smiled. “With three seniors telling us about Tan Mo's true potential and skills, do we really still need to doubt him?"

“Miaotong, you should learn a little more polite and friendly to others. If not, what would happen if you chased away the little girl? It would be a big loss for us. We may even have to stop production completely. Don't think that Tan Mo just worked hard for the money. He's here to save the day. Without him, I don't know what to do.”

If Tan Mo were to really leave, there would be no contract issues to discuss.

With Wei Zhiqian in the surroundings, Tan Mo had no reason to be afraid.

Director Liu did not dare to raise Wei Zhiqian.

He was worried that once he did, then everyone would be completely afraid of insulting Tan Mo and would instead try to mess with him in a more subtle way.

With experienced people working for him, Director Liu has learned to be careful with the various situations he faces.

Anyone who works in this industry has to fight through hell. There is no such thing as bluffing. Everybody knows that.

Xu Miaotong stopped complaining after hearing what Director Liu said.

He looked at Tan Mo again and saw that he was laughing at him.

This laughter left a mark on Xu Miaotong's heart.

Then she noticed that this young lady seemed to have an expression that showed her liking. His smile was wide, but also very careful.

And when Xu Miaotong looked up, he even waved at her.

Xu Miaotong's heart softened slightly back then.

How could he behave so well at such a young age?

As Tan Mo waved, he said, “I'm quite young, so I'm not too brave or suitable enough to be your teacher. Professionally, I can only help a little. Professor Tang entrusted this work to me and said that I could do as I wished. Miss Xu need not worry. I'm not gonna make trouble for the team."

“Regarding behavior, there's not much I can teach or say. I'll only play him once, and I'm sure everyone will get it in one go.” Tan Mo smiled sweetly, and Xu Miaotong smiled back at him.

Director Liu said nothing.

He did not expect Tan Mo to be so diplomatic. He really knows how to do it with words.

He had originally thought that he was the one being pampered at home, especially by Wei Zhiqian. In the school as well, with School Head Mu, Professor Zhao, and Professor Gu.

Tan Mo just stayed to write the script.

With the three phone calls he received, it became clear that, even if he did not act spoiled, he should at least have some sort of temperament.

Now Xu Miaotong was already convinced to the point where he was practically lying on Tan Mo's shoulder.

Just like that, Tan Mo had already secured his place in imparting his knowledge to the players.

On the third day, a new actress joined the cast.

Tan Mo heard that he was called Ding Mengfei from assistant director Liu.

He turned out to be not as easily persuaded as Xu Miaotong.

Xu Miaotong was an outspoken and relaxed person, whose personality was actually quite pleasant to be around.

As long as you say something she likes to hear and is humble, she is easy to interact with.

But this was not the case with Ding Mengfei.

He presents himself as a relaxed and humorous person, but in reality he is a hard worker and serious behind the scenes.

On his first day, he did not relax Tan Jinqi.

He started telling her to do this and that.

And when Tan Jinqi delivered the instructions from Director Liu, Ding Mengfei was unwilling to cooperate.

He even started a little trouble with Xu Miaotong. “Does Xu Miaotong agree to this?”

“Xu Miaotong did not do it, so why should I do it?”

“It's a little too high. I fear. Let my replacement do it.”

Although Tan Mo would never directly interfere with Tan Jinqi's work, he noticed Ding Mengfei's attitude.

Hee, hee, hee!

After he sat down in front of his computer, he began to cut Ding Mengfei's sentence in the script.

If I let you save all these scenes, it would be a loss. Tan Mo thought to himself while continuing to erase the lines.

No other screenwriter would dare to do it, but he can.

If Ding Mengfei wanted to complain, he would have to go straight to Director Liu.

As long as Ding Mengfei had fewer lines, the sooner the script would be completed. The time he spends with the team will also be reduced.

And of course, he did not need to bother Tan Jinqi anymore.

Perfect!

Eventually, Tan Mo will return to school.

At this point, he had already written 24 episodes.

And Ding Mengfei's time in the script became very short.

Tan Jinqi requested permission to escort Tan Mo to the airport.

Director Liu had to stay behind filming the series, so he was unable to go to the airport.

And it turned out to be a good time too. Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo were finally able to spend some time together.

“I have realized that the Ding Mengfei line has been cut down a lot,” said Tan Jinqi.

“So sister noticed?” Tan Mo did not hide it from her.

Tan Jinqi knew that it was Tan Mo's doing.

“How can I not? He has almost stopped bothering me this time.” She laughs.

“That's what I like to hear. That's the main reason why I wrote fewer lines for him,” Tan Mo admits.

“Then, there is no problem with that? Make sure this does not affect the quality of the script.” Tan Jinqi did not mind this at all. “When you're at work, things like this are bound to happen.”

“But I realized that if you can reduce such a problem, try to do it. But I'm sure there were other times I didn't realize what happened so it's okay,” Tan Mo said.
