Chapter 269: Courage from the Heavens

“I just spoke to Director Hou briefly and heard that Director Hou and Director Liu had already reserved Tan Mo to write the scripts for their next dramas,” Xu Feifei said.

Yu Yixian: “……”

Yu Yixian turned to look at Tan Mo again.

No wonder she was so arrogant. It turns out that she has reason to be.

No wonder both Director Liu and Director Hou were helping her.

Because they wanted a script from her…

Xu Feifei understood very well. “The scriptwriters in our country don’t have much power. Their status is far from directors and actors. If the director and main lead say that they want to change the script, other than the few top scriptwriters, normal scriptwriters would have to bite the bullet and change it according to what they want.

“However, my guess is that even if Tan Mo does not get an award this time, she will still join the ranks of the top scriptwriters,” Xu Feifei went on. “When that happens, her scripts would become very popular. Similar to other top scriptwriters, once it is seen that she is the scriptwriter, actors would compete to act in her works.

“She might even have the choice to choose the actors or at least have the power to reject them. To act for her script, they might even need to get into her good books.” Xu Feifei is not afraid to say this to Yu Yixian.

How could Yu Yixian not know this?

Yu Yixian looked at Tan Mo with Xu Feifei’s words in her ears. She curled her lips in denial. “She only has one successful work. How many people have failed after their one success? To join the ranks of the top scriptwriters, she still has to produce two or three more works to prove herself.

“Director Liu and Director Hou sure are confident in her, daring to continue working with her after just one work.” Yu Yixian snorted. “Aren’t they afraid that she only has one quality work in her and could have failures for her next two?”

Xu Feifei laughed after hearing her words, “Oh, sister Xian, was she insensible and ruffled your feathers?”

“She was indeed not too sensible.” There had been so many people in the waiting area earlier when she’d had the incident with Tan Mo. Xu Feifei was sure to hear about the incident sooner or later. Yu Yixian did not hide it, but she also did not say too much.

At the time, the waiting area had been chaotic, and she hadn’t noticed if Xu Feifei was present.

However, from Xu Feifei’s words, it seemed as if she didn’t know about the conflict between her and Tan Mo in the waiting area earlier.

Yu Yixian glanced over and saw that many wanted to make a move toward Wei Zhiqian, but unfortunately, due to no one referring them, they didn’t dare to go over hastily.

Yu Yixian thus looked around to see who could take her over.

Chairman Yao from Journey Films was also present, but he had gone over to chat with Director Liu.

Evidently from what Director Liu had told Tan Jinqi, in this industry, the only thing that does not change is the desire for profit.

Having seen the excellent results of “Legend of Wei and Jin”, while Chairman Yao was envious, he also wanted to amend his relationship with Director Liu.

Yu Yixian moved her sights elsewhere and found that Chairman Zhu from Zhulu Culture was also present.

Yu Yixian happened to be friends with Chairman Zhu and therefore stood up, lifted her dress, and walked over.

“Chairman Zhu,” Yu Yixian walked over and addressed him with a smile.

“Oh, Yixian,” Chairman Zhu smiled back.

Seeing an empty seat beside Chairman Zhu, Yu Yixian sat herself down. “Chairman Zhu, do you know who are the two people seated with the main creative team of ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’? The two seated beside Director Liu…?

“Oh, I indeed do know.” Director Zhu naturally had been curious as well about the people who were sitting there. Moreover, they were new faces, and Chairman Zhu had happened to take the initiative to talk to them earlier.

“Those two are the chairman of the TanYue Group and his wife,” Chairman Zhu said, “and they are the biggest investors in ‘Legend of Wei and Jin’.

Even when the TanYue Group was mentioned, Yu Yixian did not connect it to Tan Mo.

After all, there were many people with the same last name.

Making assumptions willfully could create misunderstandings and even offend people.

“So, that’s who they are,” Yu Yixian said with a smile. “Have you spoken to them yet?”

Chairman Zhu, who was quick on the uptake, understood the meaning behind her words. “Do you want to meet them?”

“Yes,” Yu Yixian admitted graciously. “Knowing more people is good for my career.”

It would be hard to approach Wei Zhiqian. However, TanYue’s chairman and his wife should not be as hard to talk to as he was, right?

After all, TanYue is very different from any one of the eight great clans.

They are not of the same class.

Every one of the eight great clans was very hard to approach.

However, there was no harm in trying to approach those beneath the eight great clans.

“No problem.” Chairman Zhu does not mind. He stood up and took Yu Yixian toward the Tan family.

He was only introducing a few people to Yu Yixian.

He was only responsible for the introduction and would not lose anything by it.

Building a few bridges could also be advantageous for him.

He is helping Yu Yixian to build a connection, and she will also do the same for him.

These benefits are mutual.

You shouldn’t think that Yu Yixian is only an artiste. She also has many connections from her usual interactions with people from various industries and jobs.

It is possible that they would be of use in due time.

“Chairman Tan, Mrs. Tan,” Chairman Zhu came over again, with Yu Yixian beside him now.

Tan Wenci and Xu Mingzhen had heard from Tan Jinqi regarding the incident with Yu Yixian bullying Tan Mo in the waiting area.

They regretted that they had not been there at that moment.

Otherwise, Xu Mingzhen would have slapped her.

Did she borrow courage from the heavens for 500 years to bully their Mo Mo?

They had heard that Zhou Jingan protected Tan Mo and that Director Liu and Director Hou embarrassed Yu Yixian, eventually leading to Yu Yixian’s leaving in defeat.

Then the pair’s minds could be at ease.

But they were still upset over the matter.

Tan Wenci had even secretly set his mind to expanding his business in order to have more connections to the entertainment industry.

He would not let Tan Mo suffer from such incidents again.

Even if Yu Yixian was the one who had ended up being embarrassed.

However, Tan Wenci felt that just by being scolded by Yu Yixian, Tan Mo had already suffered.

Seeing Yu Yixian standing nearby, Tan Wenci’s expression immediately turned cold. “Chairman Zhu, why did you bring this one over?”

Chairman Zhu was confused by Tan Wenci’s attitude.

As Tan Wenci played the role of the bad cop, Xu Mingzhen tacitly played the role of the good cop. “Please don’t misunderstand, Chairman Zhu. My husband is not against you. It is an honor for us to know you and since we know each other now, we are friends.”

Still at a loss, Chairman Zhu nodded.

“That’s right.” Tan Wenci nodded in acknowledgement. “However, pardon us for falling short of Yu Yixian’s standards.”

“What’s this?” Chairman Zhu was stunned.

He had even been ready to befriend Tan Wenci.

How did Yu Yixian offend him?

Yu Yixian had even asked him to build this connection for her after offending the person in question.

In a moment, Chairman Zhu had filled in the blanks himself.

It must be that Yu Yixian had offended the Tan couple earlier and was afraid to be shunned if she had approached them herself.

Which was why she had approached him to mediate.

But she did not dare to be upfront with him.

And was afraid that he would not help if he knew.

Thus, she made up an excuse saying that she wanted to acquaint herself with the Tan couple and asked him for help.
