Chapter 587: Hating Tan Mo

“Since you didn’t choose the family business and came to do a completely different job, you should put your dignity aside and finish the job properly, right?” Yu Lanxin said.
Tan Jinqi nodded. “The reason why I refused to change the script is that I want to shoot this drama well.”
This time, Yu Lanxin’s fake smile contained a bit of disdain. “In that case, if Ke’er suddenly decides not to continue with the filming, what about the losses incurred? Is this what you mean by shooting the drama well?”
“You are feeling unhappy because changing the script would affect the original idea as it would become different. However, if we can’t continue with the filming, then it won’t be as simple as that.” Yu Lanxin looked at Tan Jinqi deeply. “Director Tan, we shouldn’t risk big things for the sake of small ones.”
Feng Ke’er also said to Tan Mo, “Scriptwriter Tan, you should also persuade Director Tan. This is not a small matter. You may not have experience, but Director Tan should know the seriousness of this.”
“Ha!” Tan Mo sneered. “Don’t repeat what my brother just said. It’s either we shoot according to the script or leave. Even if he doesn’t say it, I will say so.”
Although Feng Ke’er did not say anything, the disdain on her face was particularly obvious.
Tan Mo was a scriptwriter, yet she still wanted to influence the filming of the drama?
Did she think that she’s a character?
The Tan family was indeed powerful, and she was also a genuinely rich second-generation child.
But just as Yu Lanxin said, that was within the scope of the Tan family’s business, but it was not related to the entertainment circle.
No one would respect Tan Mo.
It was only because Tan Jinqi, the director, was Tan Mo’s brother that Tan Mo had the right to speak.
If it was any other director, nobody would care about Tan Mo.
Tan Jinqi’s face was frighteningly dark, he said directly to Yu Lanxin, “Ms. Yu, I only have one answer. If you want to film, then stay and film properly. Stop trying to plot something. If you want to change the script, pack your things and leave. My production team won’t stop you.”
“Make your decision now.” Tan Mo knew what Tan Jinqi meant. “I can give you one minute to consider. After one minute, if you don’t answer, just take it as Feng Ke’er not wanting to continue filming. Later on, a lawyer will contact you about the liquidated damages.”
Feng Ke’er couldn’t keep her cool. “Tan Mo, it’s good to separate business and personal matters. Your current identity is a scriptwriter, not a director. Your brother hasn’t said anything yet.”
“That’s what I mean too.” Tan Jinqi was displeased. “Also, if you choose to stay and continue filming, then show some respect to the scriptwriter. I don’t care about the treatment of other teams’ scriptwriters. At here, Tan Mo’s words have the same authority as mine. Moreover, she doesn’t need my permission to make any decisions.”
Feng Ke’er was so angry that she was about to explode.
Even if she continued filming here, it would be an embarrassment for her!
Everyone saw how humiliated she was now.
Seeing that Tan Jinqi wasn’t willing to step back at all.
Feng Ke’er hurriedly shook Yu Lanxin’s arm.
Yu Lanxin looked at Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo before pulling Feng Ke’er aside.
The onlookers around had not dispersed.
They also wanted to know what the final result would be.
But at least, the actors were relieved.
Tan Jinqi insisted on principles, refused to compromise with Feng Ke’er, and was also not threatened by her.
In this way, everyone would be able to keep their part.
The editing needed to be done in the later stages, so there was no way to cut the scenes.
However, no one wanted to sacrifice their part just because someone wanted to add more scenes.
“Sister Yu, what do you think we should do?” Feng Ke’er whispered, “I think Tan Jinqi is determined not to change my script. He won’t really stop me from filming, right?”
“It’s the first time in all these years that I’ve encountered such a tough attitude.” Yu Lanxin wasn’t sure whether Tan Jinqi was trying to scare them or not.
However, if he was just trying to scare them, Tan Jinqi’s attitude would be a little too realistic.
“Forget it, let’s not gamble.” Yu Lanxin thought for a while. Tan Jinqi and Tan Mo only gave them one minute to consider, so Yu Lanxin didn’t dare to delay.
Who would scare people and even set a specific time for them to consider?
When the time was up, if Tan Jinqi did not do as he had threatened them, wouldn’t they end up embarrassing themselves?
It was precisely because of this that Yu Lanxin did not dare to gamble.
“Don’t even think about adding more scenes. Just focus on filming the rest of the scenes.” What Yu Lanxin did not say was that no matter what Tan Mo had said earlier, Feng Ke’er’s scenes would increase in the second or third season.
But now that things were so unpleasant, even if there were really important scenes in the future, after this incident, there wouldn’t be anymore.
Unless the scriptwriter in the future wasn’t Tan Mo or she stopped directing the later episodes.
Otherwise, Feng Ke’er would not have any more scenes in the future.
Yu Lanxin guessed that the character played by Feng Ke’er in the second season would most likely be written to death.
If Tan Mo didn’t change the script in the first season.
Moreover, the possibility of not having Tan Jinqi to direct in the later episodes was very small.
As long as Tan Jinqi was the director, the scriptwriter would definitely be Tan Mo.
Feng Ke’er wouldn’t have had the chance to negotiate as long as Tan Jinqi was the one directing the film.
But it was fine. It was just Tan Jinqi.
The work of a new director wasn’t that rare.
Feng Ke’er would be the female lead in her next movie.
There were so many directors now, Tan Jinqi was not the only one.
When Feng Ke’er heard this, her face fell. She said anxiously, “But… things have escalated to this point, and I’m the embarrassed one. I have become the laughingstock. How am I supposed to stay in the production team in the future?”
“You won’t have many scenes left.” Yu Lanxin could only comfort her. “You won’t stay in the production team for more than a few days.”
“But we’re all in the same circle, so we’ll have many chances to meet each other in the future. Even if we don’t meet, these people will still gossip about what happened today. How am I supposed to meet people in the circle?” Feng Ke’er was so angry that her eyes were full of tears.
At this moment, Tan Mo urged, “One minute is up. Have you two thought about it?”
“What a scoundrel!” Feng Ke’er hated Tan Mo. “Isn’t she just relying on the fact that the director is her brother? If it were another director, who does she think she is!”
Yu Lanxin thought the same and said, “If you stop filming, will you pay the penalty?”
Feng Ke’er was stunned.
Of course, she didn’t want to pay the penalty.
“If you don’t want to pay the penalty, then you should finish filming the rest of the scenes,” Yu Lanxin said.
“Let’s go.” Yu Lanxin said and dragged Feng Ke’er back.
Yu Lanxin had been in the industry for many years. She had worked her way up from an assistant to an executive manager.
She was very flexible.
At this moment, her small face looked as if the unhappiness just now had never happened.
“Director Tan, I’ve persuaded Ke’er,” Yu Lanxin said with a smile. “Ke’er was being willful. Don’t lower yourself to her level.. I’ve already talked to her and she has also realized her mistake.”
