He took it all as a compliment to her.
Director Liu laughed out loud, then said kindly, “Thank you for liking my television series. Are you a student of history school?”
Director Liu made the conjecture because they were in Professor Tang's office.
“Ya!” Song Mingqi was excited, and she nodded her head excitedly, “I am a second-year student in the History Department.”
“I'm flattered that my job is liked by a young professional. It must mean a lot to me,” Director Liu said happily.
This meant that Tan Mo's script was so good that even professionals could not find any fault in it.
The television series was not only liked by history students like Song Mingqi, even professional historians liked it and praised its accuracy.
This all made Director Liu very happy.
“No, no.. I'm only second grade, not yet professional. I still have a lot to learn and learn.” Song Mingqi shook her hand.
“’Legend of Wei and Jin’ is really a great series, plot, dialogue, all other small details. Everything on the show was true in its historical context, and there was a lot I didn't know because I hadn't had time to learn it. After looking at the series, I did my own research and realized that all the details were correct. But for many other details, I can not even find any data.” Song Mingqi scratched the side of her head, puzzled.
“I'm not sure if it was an artistic effect by the scriptwriter or whether it was taken from an actual historical text,” Song Mingqi said.
“But I think the author of this script is very focused on details, so it is likely that the scriptwriter did not make up those details just like that. Even if there were some artistic license used, I'm sure it's all based on history. I guess, if I did further research in the library database and read more historical texts, I might find something to explain it.”
Official history texts always belong to the winners. Most were written in later dynasties, as records of what happened in the past.
In the new dynasty, the main powers have changed. To illustrate the wisdom and virtues of the current dynasty, official historical texts often record earlier dynasties with negative connotations.
So, the official history may not be entirely true.
Non-official history is also not in vain, and is often worth reading.
Of course, it all comes down to individual judgment.
Professor Tang nodded. He liked Song Mingqi's attitude towards research.
But after all, Song Mingqi was only second-rate at the moment.
There are too many students in the History Department.
Professor Tang had not known Song Mingqi before today, and he did not even know that Song Mingqi was part of the exchange program.
But he looks like a promising young man, Professor Tang thought to himself. He decided he would pay more attention to this young man and see how he did it in his class. Then he will make a decision about her in a few more years.
At the very least, Professor Tang recalled Song Mingqi's name this time, and Song Mingqi left a good impression on him.
Tsinghua students thought, Beijing University does have some famous history professors.
And she is also a fan of “Legenda Wei and Jin”.
On their way here, Song Mingqi did not say much, so she thought Song Mingqi was not an eloquent speaker.
He was really surprised that Song Mingqi was so good at speaking.
Since coming here, he himself could not say much. He only listened as Song Mingqi continued to speak.
Before he could even say a word, Song Mingqi had already said everything he wanted to say.
He can't get the word in edgewise.
Now, Yang Guangyuan said hurriedly, “I am too! Director Liu, I'm also your fan!”
Yang Guangyuan tried to kiss Director Liu. “Since the series aired, everyone has been talking about consultants and scriptwriters. They all said they were the ones who created the series and contributed all the details: from dialogue to costumes. But the truth is, I don't agree."
“No matter how good they are, Director, you're the one who made the last call. You are the one who filmed this series. You're the one who found the consultant and the scriptwriter. You're the one who portrayed this story through the movie, and it's done really well. Every spectator felt it. They were all immersed in the story, and they were all brought back to the past, and they all saw the story itself as if they were part of that history."
“Your determination to make quality films and your attention to detail is what makes this film possible. Without you, this series would not have been possible.”
Song Mingqi listened to Yang Guangyuan's kiss speech *ss and felt goosebumps crawling her spine.
What a shameless person.
*s-kiss words just came out of his mouth.
He must be good at talking.
Even Director Liu felt that what he said was a bit excessive.
Director Liu is used to interacting with people he knows famous actors and directors, investors, and managers.
They are all successful people who don't have to kiss him.
“Director Liu, do you have any plans, any movies to come? Can you tell us?” Song Mingqi was curious like a reporter.
“I have no plans for now,” Director Liu smiled and said. “I plan to take a break, then I'll see if some other good scripts come to me. Planning a new movie is more work than people” thinks
“Of course this is a lot of work.” Yang Guangyuan said, wanting to continue his kiss*ss.
Professor Tang did not give him a chance to continue. He interrupted and asked Song Mingqi, “What are you here for?”
Song Mingqi recalled why she was here and said hurriedly, “Professor Tang, I am a second-year student from the History Department. My name is Song Mingqi. I am part of the exchange program.”
Professor Tang nodded. Now he knows.
Then it meant that Song Mingqi was among the top in her class.
Professor Tang made sure to remember his name.
“This is Yang Guangyuan, exchange student from Tsinghua.” Song MIngqi introduced him.
“Halo, Professor Tang,” Yang Guangyuan greeted him.
“And you two are here for..?”
“Tsinghua exchange students think we are not good enough for them, and they say that they just want to exchange with the best.” Song Mingqi did not plan on keeping Yang Guangyuan's attitude a secret.
Tsinghua's students have already said that. It will not be a friendly exchange.
There was no point saving face for Yang Guangyuan in front of the Beijing University professor.
Yang Guangyuan's face became tense for a moment.
He did not expect Song Mingqi to say that directly.
Professor Tang didn't say anything for a bit …
“Isn't Tan Mo there?” Those Tsinghua students must be full of themselves. Even Tan Mo wasn't good enough for them?
“We have not even started the exchange,” Song Mingqi said. “Tsinghua students complain that Tan Mo is from a financial school, because they do not know that Beijing University is an inclusive university in terms of knowledge sharing.”
“Tan Mo told them that,” Song Mingqi repeated what Tan Mo said, to make sure that Professor Tang knew exactly what was going on.
Professor Tang was silent for a moment.
That little girl is really good at making up.
But it was a good call. This made it seem like Tsinghua was inferior to them in terms of inclusivity and tolerance.
How kind!
Director Liu showed nothing, but now he suddenly had a different impression of Yang Guangyuan.
At first, Director Liu only felt a little awkward, being showered with words of praise by Yang Guangyuan.
But Director Liu is not a hard person, and he is not against such a person. He would only listen, but he would reconsider before becoming a closer acquaintance with someone like that.
Those who rely on *ss-kissing are not very reliable. He should consider the character and personality of the person before becoming a closer acquaintance.
Because if he can*ss-kiss you today, tomorrow he can do it to others, while saying bad things about you.
Director Liu was cautious around such people.
“Tsinghua students heard that the consultants ‘Legenda Wei and Jin’ are students at Beijing University, so they wanted to get a chance to meet him and discuss ideas with him,” Song Mingqi said.
