Chapter 275 : Everyone Bragging about Tan Mo
Tan Mo and the rest of the creative team shook Director Liu’s hand and hugged him before Director Liu proceeded onto the stage.
After giving his award acceptance speech, Director Liu returned to the audience with the trophy.
Tan Mo informed Director Liu that she would be leaving.
“Are you not attending the celebratory dinner later?” Director Liu asked.
Tan Mo shook her head and yawned. “No, I am very tired.”
Director Liu could understand. Tan Mo was only 17 after all. She was still growing.
If President Mu, Professor Zhao, and Professor Guo found out that Tan Mo was tired because of him, they would hold him responsible.
“All right, then you go ahead.” Director Liu smiled. “Anyway, there is nothing much to a celebratory dinner. Go ahead and rest, I will contact you soon.”
Tan Mo nodded, said her good-byes to the rest of “Legend of Wei and Jin” team, and left.
Xiao Menghan and Wei Zhiqian returned to the Wei Mansion.
The Tan family were returning to the Tan Mansion by car.
As they had a chauffeur, the Tan family had the time to look at social media on the ride home.
On Weibo, all the media agencies and the Tulip Awards official Weibo account were reporting live on the recipients of each award.
Regarding Tan Mo’s achievements being mentioned at the red carpet earlier, the reporters on site had contacted their colleagues to authenticate the information.
Then, when Tan Mo received the best scriptwriting award, the media agencies had released their own interview videos at the same time.
Tan Jinqi said in awe, “They had completed their interviews, organization, and editing in such a short time. How efficient.”
They did not have to search on their own. The most searched phrases included:
Most searched phrase number 10: best scriptwriting award.
Most searched phrase number 11: Tan Mo.
The two most searched phrases were right next to each other.
There are overlaps in content for both weblinks.
The overlap content is that Tan Mo, the recipient of the best scriptwriting award, was the top student with a perfect score when she was 15, was fought over by six universities, is currently studying at Beijing University, is a mentee of Beijing University’s Professor Zhao and Professor Guo, was the champion of the Ancient Text Competition, and was the consultant and scriptwriter of “Legend of Wei and Jin”.
Those who had wanted to doubt her capability as the scriptwriter and consultant of “Legend of Wei and Jin” due to her young age had kept quiet after looking at her list of achievements.
Tan Mo may be young, but she is amazing.
In the news related to Tan Mo’s name, there is additional information regarding the authentication of her information.
At first the reporters thought that they probably would not manage to interview President Mu, Professor Guo, and Professor Zhao.
They’d only wanted to try their luck in contacting them.
They did not expect that all three individuals would agree to the interviews.
Especially President Mu, whose reply was surprisingly quick and even elated.
At first the interview was to be in person, but too many people had contacted him.
Eventually, President Mu requested the reporters to list their questions and send them to him.
If they would like to have a video, then he would film a clip and send it to them based on the questions received.
If they only required his reply in writing, then he could send a copy to them as well.
The reporters were stunned.
When did President Mu become so approachable?
Although they were all reporters, they were responsible for a different type of news and had never interviewed President Mu before.
However, they are from the same industry.
They know a number of people from the industry.
And their schoolmates are mostly working as reporters and are in charge of all kinds of news.
When they gather, it was unavoidable that they wouldn’t mention the different types of people and incidents they meet with at work.
President Mu had been mentioned.
Although President Mu is not arrogant, it wasn’t easy to arrange an interview with him.
After all, he is very busy.
It would be necessary to arrange an interview very early on and fix a time.
However, this time, they had tried their luck and asked for an interview.
And they were surprised to find that President Mu had just agreed.
When other reporters heard about this, they lamented that never had such great luck befallen them.
Moreover, there were many people who wanted to interview President Mu.
When President Mu was too busy and he was unable to manage all the interviews, he even suggested alternatives on his own.
Anyway, everyone would be able to get a response.
After the reporters heard this, they all requested the interview video.
Therefore, President Mu asked his assistant to organize the questions from the reporters.
They chose the questions that were repeated the most.
Frequently repeated questions meant that many people would like to hear the responses to them.
Then he recorded the video to answer these questions and sent it to the reporters.
In the video, President Mu praised Tan Mo earnestly.
“Tan Mo and her family keep a low profile. Including her composition, she had a perfect score on her examinations and is the only student in B city with such results. I had read her composition and immediately hosted a meeting in school and decided that no matter the price we had to pay, we must invite Tan Mo to study at Beijing University.
“Eventually, Beijing University’s decision was proven right. All the teachers and students feel that Tan Mo is the pride of Beijing University. She is someone who can represent the students of Beijing University. I will not say more on this subject. I watched what Director Liu said in his red carpet segment earlier.” President Mu chuckled in the interview video. “What Director Liu said is true, and Tan Mo’s contribution to Beijing University is much more than what Director Liu mentioned. Just Tan Mo’s mastery of knowledge regarding the Chinese language and history exceeds everyone’s imagination.
“I can only say that everyone should not use age to define Tan Mo,” President Mu went on, “and we are very happy that she has entered Beijing University.”
In terms of academics, what President Mu said carried more weight than what Director Liu said. It was much more convincing.
“I think that President Mu is being humble.” Tan Wenci is not humble. After watching President Mu’s interview, he said, “Our Mo Mo entering Beijing University is Beijing University’s good fortune.”
“Indeed,” the reliable Tan Jinyi said, “after all, Beijing University is a reputable and century-old school with pride. It is understandable that President Mu said that.”
Tan Jinsheng nodded. “Yes, anyway it is all right as long as everyone knows the truth in their hearts.”
Xu Mingzhen: “……”
Could it be that all of you feel that it is all right to be so shameless as there is no one else apart from family in the car?
After watching President Mu’s interview video, the four men of the Tan family continued browsing.
The next clip was a combined video.
The interviews of Professor Zhao, Professor Guo, students of Beijing University, and students of Tsinghua University were edited into a single video.
Professor Zhao said, “It is true that Tan Mo is well-versed in the ‘Twenty-four Histories’. If you read from a random page, she can immediately recite the remaining portion to you. Moreover, not just this book, she is able to do the same for other books, such as ‘Comprehensive Mirror in Aid of Governance’, ‘The Commentary of Zuo’, and more.
Professor Guo bragged, “Tan Mo is a student who is able to discuss pedagogy with me. Although she is my mentee, in reality, I see her as a young friend. We learn from each other.”
