“Don't worry, brother, I know what I'm doing. There are not many historical records about the character played by Ding Mengfei. I improvised based on the terms of the plot. Therefore, the amount of screen time I gave him will not affect the production quality.”
Tan Jinqi nodded and smiled. “I know that you have things under control.”

As he returned to school, he heard that Professor Tang, Professor Gu, and President Mu were all on campus.
Tan Mo went to greet them, one by one.
Back when he was part of the production crew, these three people called Director Liu because they were worried about him.
Tan Mo would never forget the love and care they had shown for him.
On the first day of school, Tan Mo reported to Professor Gu's research team first. Then he went to Professor Tang's team to say hello.
Since this was the first day of school, most of the team was present.
All the seniors on Professor Gu's team were present.
However, when he reached Professor Tang's team, Tan Mo looked around and realized that there was someone missing. “Where is Senior Shen?”
Everyone's faces looked unhappy.
Wu Jiazhen sighed and said, “He left the team.”
“She went?” Tan Mo was surprised.
Wu Jiazhen seemed to be the most knowledgeable about the matter. He explained to Tan Mo, “He became an advisor to the ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’ drama production team as part of his internship. Professor Tang was the one who sent him there, but he didn't take it seriously. In the end, he caused the production crew a huge loss, damaging Professor Tang's reputation at the same time. Professor Tang doesn't want him to stay with the team."
“However, Shen Jingyi has been with our team for a long time. He has also completed his fair share of the work. Therefore, Professor Tang promised that he would appreciate it in the final paper."
“To be honest, he only did this apprentice to expand his future prospects. This achievement should be enough for him. Once his name is credited to our current project, it will be an outstanding line on his resume.
“More, he was once Professor Tang's mentee. Even though he was very disappointed in her, he would never divulge any news of this incident. Therefore, it would not really have an impact on him. Although Shen Jingyi could no longer call herself Professor Tang's dedicated mentee, she would not lie if she called herself one of Professor Tang.”'s students
However, he would no longer be able to obtain Professor Tang's recommendation letter in the future. This is his biggest loss.
Shen Jingyi's small mistake cost her dearly. The benefits will not replace the losses.
Without Shen Jingyi in the team, Tan Mo was happier. At the very least, he would be able to complete his research in a more conducive environment.
However, even though Professor Tang would not divulge this incident, Director Liu would probably not stay silent on the matter.
Director Hou Yuehai has just finished a production. So he's on break.
He had taken the opportunity of a break to visit Director Liu on his production set.
He wanted to see an old friend and check out his student's performance.
Naturally, he also did this to support Tan Jinqi.
He wanted everyone to know that Tan Jinqi was his student. He is not the only director who appears out of nowhere trying to find success. He was not a pathetic child who did not have a good background or support.
In fact, the fact that Ding Mengfei had made trouble for Tan Jinqi had reached the ears of Director Hou Yuehai.
Hou Yuehai did not tell Director Liu that he was coming. He suddenly just appeared.
“Assistant director Tan, do you use public resources to reply to personal problems?” Ding Mengfei held onto the script and waved it in front of Tan Jinqi.
The script almost hit Tan Jinqi's face on many occasions.
Even Ding Mengfei's assistant and the production crew did not dare to say anything, afraid of bringing trouble upon themselves.
“What are you talking about now?” Tan Jinqi remained calm. Although his script had almost hit his face many times, he did not even blink his eyes. He continued to speak patiently, and there was not the slightest hint of anger in his voice.
“Nona Ding, I'm not the person you should ask if you don't have much time in front of the screen. I don't know why either,” Tan Jinqi explained calmly.
“I heard that the scriptwriter, Tan Mo, is your younger sister,” said Ding Mengfei. “He is the one who manipulates official affairs for personal grudges. He purposely reduced my screen time.”
“Where did you get this idea?” Tan Jinqi asked in confusion. “Nona Ding, my sister left as soon as you joined our team. He's never interacted with you before. How could he manipulate the official matter for vengeance?”
“He did this to avenge you,” said Ding Mengfei angrily.
“And why did you say that? Miss Ding, is there a problem between us?” Tan Jinqi retreated a few steps back. He smiled and asked, “Why do you think so? Do you offend me in any way? Or did you persecute me in a way I was unaware of?”
Ding Mengfei was momentarily confused by Tan Jinqi's words.
Did she expect him to say that it was because he had made it difficult for her?
He could not say these words out loud.
Although the entire production crew was aware of this, he could not say it.
If he did, it would be the same as admitting it.
“Give me your sister's contact details. I want to chat with him, ” said Ding Mengfei.
“My apology.” It was fine if Ding Mengfei made things difficult for him.
To him, Ding Mengfei was simply an annoying insect.
However, Ding Mengfei could not drag Tan Mo into this.
Tan Jinqi couldn't be bothered to continue acting with Ding Mengfei.
“I won't give my sister's contact details,” Tan Jinqi said coldly.
“You finally stopped pretending? Decided to stop acting?” Ding Mengfei raised her voice angrily. “Do you think it's okay to hide his contact details from me? If you refuse, I will go straight to Director Liu.”
“You are only assistant director and scriptwriter. Do you really make yourself an important person?” Ding Mengfei sneered coldly. “Lack of knowledge!”
“What happened? Why are you fighting?” Director Liu had learned that Tan Jinqi and Ding Mengfei were arguing. So he hastened.
Director Hou had introduced Tan Jinqi to him. Moreover, Tan Mo was a very important member of the production team.
He cannot ignore this matter.
He was not unaware that Ding Mengfei had made things difficult for Tan Jinqi.
However, everyone in this line of work should experience this one way or another.
Ding Mengfei was not stupid. To make things difficult for others, she presents various reasons for forgiving herself. It was quite difficult to intervene because he could always explain himself.
When Ding Mengfei noticed Director Liu, he would speak.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded. “Runlin, how is it? Is the filming going well?”
Director Liu glanced over in surprise. “Yuehai!”
Director Liu quickly left to greet him. “Why are you coming? You didn't even tell me! ”
“I did it to surprise you! At the same time, I am here to check how Jinqi is performing. I was worried that he would intentionally perform well if he knew that I was coming. I'm here to see it in its natural state.” Director Hou Yuehai chuckled.
They were all veterans who were basically very cunning. Hou Yuehai would not be able to hide his intentions from Director Liu.
This man was clearly here to show his support to Tan Jinqi.
Director Liu did not expect Hou Yuehai to treat Tan Jinqi like his personal protege.
