Chapter 56 Please Call Me a Literary Consultant

Director Liu was right. In the five thousand years of Chinese history, Beixiang only appeared in history for a very short time, so short that it was not recorded in official history at first. The existence of Beixiang was only confirmed later by experts and professors in the field.

The previous emperor could not bear to see the people suffer, so he started a rebellion and fought his way to Chang'an, which led to the establishment of Beixiang. After Jiang Si'er ascended the throne, he became the second emperor of Beixiang.

So how could there be anyone who knows Beixiang better than her?

Just look for her!
"You???" Director Liu's tone was full of doubt.

Jiang Sier really wanted to reveal his identity, but was afraid that he would call the police and have him taken to a mental hospital. In the end, he was forced to compromise and found a reason that sounded reliable:
"My grandfather was also a professor of literature and had some research on this history."

Director Liu was silent for a few seconds, then raised his second question of the day: "But weren't your ancestors directors?"

"is it?"

Jiang Sier was stunned.

Director Liu: "What do you think? I graduated from the directing major and I've even attended your grandfather's lectures!"

“……” Good man, I forgot about this.

Jiang Sier scratched his head awkwardly, "I drank too much last night and I'm still a little confused now."

"I mean, our family loves history. My grandparents, my dad, and I all study history as a hobby on a daily basis."

"Really?" Director Liu sounded less and less credible the more he listened.

"How could this be false? What good would it be for me to lie to you?" She didn't know whether her ancestors liked history or not, but she had to thank them for giving her a silver tongue.

She continued to deceive: "I also invested in this play. I spent 400 million yuan. Why would I lie to you?"

"But……"

"Don't say but! We'll continue filming on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year as planned! I'll be there with Lu Huai as a literary consultant!"

"That `s a deal!"

-

TY issued a statement the next day, avoiding the main issue of bullying within the group, but also temporarily suspending Song Cheng's performances. However, fans were not satisfied with the punishment and strongly demanded that Song Cheng leave the group.

The debate is still going on hotly online, but fortunately, there are not as many negative voices against Pei Du and Croissant as at the beginning, and Song Cheng's fans are eager to seek explanation from TY.

On the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Sier and TY completed the meeting before they felt at ease to send Pei Du to the plane.

The next morning, Jiang Sier and Lu Huai also flew directly to Hangzhou and joined the crew to start work.

Director Liu didn't expect her to really come, and he had a headache for a moment, "Mr. Jiang..."

"Hey, calling me President Jiang is so formal." Jiang Sier waved his hand and said with a smile: "Please call me literary consultant from now on."

Director Liu: “…”

"Who is this?" Jiang Si'er couldn't help but feel curious when he saw the strange man wearing glasses and looking gentle and refined standing next to Director Liu.

She remembered that the assistant director and screenwriter didn't look like this.

"Um..." Director Liu smiled awkwardly and introduced: "This is the apprentice of the professor I mentioned before."

Jiang Sier: “?”

"That professor had an accident, and his wife was afraid that it would delay our progress, so she recommended his apprentice to come here."

"Hello, Mr. Jiang." The literary consultant extended his hand.

After a long silence, Jiang Sier shook the other person's hand, then let go after two seconds, "Hello."

"Sorry, I need to have a private chat with Director Liu. Please wait a moment." Jiang Sier stopped smiling, turned around, grabbed Director Liu and walked out.

"Hey, hey, hey?" At the corner, Jiang Sier let go of the man and blocked him in the corner with one hand on his waist: "Liu Wei, what are you doing?"

She responded, "You don't believe me?"

"Oh, no." Director Liu straightened his clothes. "They were kind-hearted, so I couldn't refuse. I thought, since they've already spent the money, they can just come. More people... more possibilities."

Jiang Sier chuckled and almost laughed out loud.

"You just don't believe me!"

"really not!"

"you swear!"

"..." Director Liu choked, "I didn't say I don't need you. I'll include you in the byline when the time comes."

“Do I care about the byline?”

"Then not taking you?"

Jiang Sier pointed at him: "You dare!"

Director Liu: “…” Women are really troublesome.

Neither this nor that will work.

"Grandfather, what do you want? They are already here. They flew here before the New Year holiday is over. It's not good to send them back."

"Then I'll go?"

Director Liu quickly grabbed the man and said, "Hey, isn't it better to have two people? You can be the main consultant, and he can assist you! Why don't you discuss it?"

"..."

Jiang Si'er still didn't agree. They had already invited experts in this field to join the crew, so what else could they ask her to do? But since she was already here, she planned to stay in the crew for a day, see Lu Huaiye's scene, and return to Beijing tomorrow morning.

Before filming began, the director found a literary consultant and all the important characters to read the second phase of the script together. Because it was a time-travel drama with a male protagonist, they filmed the part before the time travel before the New Year, and only filmed a little bit of the content after the time travel.

Jiang Si'er, who was wandering around bored, was also grabbed by Director Liu to listen together.

After the scene was cleared, everyone sat in the lounge. The literary consultant opened the prepared PPT and began to explain the history of Beixiang.

"The ancient Beixiang Kingdom existed for less than a hundred years in history, and only about sixty years in actual calculation."

Jiang Si'er had no interest in the class and wanted to sleep as soon as she sat down. She propped up her head and played with the pen in her hand boredly. Lu Huai also sat opposite her, his eyes swept over her from time to time.

"There were two emperors in Beixiang. The first one, the founding emperor, was named Jiang Yusheng. Although his name sounds weak and scholarly, he was actually a general of the previous dynasty. He commanded a large number of troops and was extremely fierce on the battlefield. According to unofficial history, he was known as the 'Jade-faced King of Hell'."

"There are only two generals in Beixiang who are recognized by the people with the title of 'King of Hell'. One is the founding emperor Jiang Yusheng, and the other is the King of Qinan, who has a different surname."

"King of Qinan? What's his name? Doesn't he have a name?" Guan Xuyang, the second male lead, asked.

Literary consultant: "We haven't found any relevant records yet. We only know that the other party's surname is Lu."

"Lu?" Guan Xuyang turned his head and looked at Lu Huaiye like everyone else.

"Oh, yes, he has the same last name as our actor Lu. But the exact name is unknown for now."

"coincidence!"

Jiang Sier chuckled and thought to himself: Of course it’s a coincidence, I’m right here.

The literary consultant continued, "King Qinan was loyal to Beixiang all his life. He followed the previous emperor on many expeditions at a young age. After the second emperor of Beixiang ascended the throne, he finally followed the emperor by his side."

As he spoke, he brought up the next picture and said, "And what I'm going to talk about next is the focus of this time, the second emperor of Beixiang - Jiang Bei."
