A writer has arrived in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 55 went too smoothly, didn't it?

This Chairman Liu is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, an academic authority. After decades of research in forensic toxicology, he was suddenly struck by such a passionate line, and a surge of youthful energy suddenly arose within him.

Who says old age can't be passionate?

"Xiao Su," Chairman Liu looked up, "I see that the cases in your script involve a very solid understanding of forensic medicine. That's quite remarkable for a screenwriter your age."

Su Liu quickly replied, "Because I am a mystery writer myself, I usually collect relevant information."

Chairman Liu hummed in agreement and nodded slightly, then looked at Chairman Wang to the side.

"Old Wang, what do you think? You still need to handle things with the police."

This Chairman Wang works in the public security system. He has two wrinkles on his forehead, which makes him look serious at all times.

"Overall, there's nothing seriously wrong," he said slowly. "It's just that the image of the police here...it's a bit..." He paused for a moment, considering what word to use, "...a bit comical?"

"Funny?" Chairman Liu flipped through the script, trying to figure out how funny it was.

"This is it." He pointed to a scene in the script, "This policeman's face is full of anticipation, he's practically begging the forensic doctor to give a suicide diagnosis. If this kind of attitude towards handling cases were shown in a drama, it would probably cause the public to misunderstand the police."

Chairman Liu looked closely at the section he was pointing to and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Isn't your police force hoping that forensic doctors will all conclude it's suicide? You've been doing this for so many years, don't you understand?"

"That's what they say, but to actually film it..."

"Boss," Su Liu spoke up at the right moment, "Excuse me for interrupting, but I think it's not funny, it's cute."

"Cute...?"

"Yes, after reading the script, I don't think you'll dislike this policeman, right? Policemen are human too, not crime-solving machines. Humans have emotions and want to go home early. We often say 'the military and the people are one family,' and this kind of role helps to bring the people and the police closer together."

"Cute? It really is quite cute," Chairman Liu said. "I think Xiao Su is right. We've never seen such a humane police officer in our films and TV dramas before. The dramas produced by Golden Shield are all too serious. It's nice to see a police officer like this once in a while."

Chairman Wang pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Personally, I can't see any other problems at the moment. We need to take it to the publicity department and have them take a look." He looked at Su Liu, "Is this the complete script?"

"The main script consists of these ten episodes," Su Liu answered truthfully. "However, for broadcast on satellite TV, we will fill in some everyday details according to the process, expanding the length to about twenty episodes."

Which channel are you planning to appear on?

"The initial decision is Tomato TV."

"Tomato TV?" Chairman Wang thought for a moment. "Oh, your company is in Shanghai."

Chairman Liu, who was sitting to the side, suddenly sat up and interjected, "A show like this should be on CCTV."

Su Liu and Chen Si's hearts skipped a beat. "CCTV?"

"That's right, I remember the last time there was a forensic-themed drama was about ten years ago, and the prototype at that time was still..."

At this point, Chairman Liu suddenly became vague, chuckled, and skipped over the rest.

"In short, this show should be aired on CCTV." He turned his head and said, "Old Wang, what do you think?"

"That's right, appearing on CCTV definitely has a greater impact." Chairman Wang said solemnly, "Okay, I'll ask Golden Shield later."

The presidents were all very busy people, and having finished discussing most of the matters, they didn't bother with further pleasantries.

Chairman Liu stood up first, adjusting his collar as he did so. The other two followed suit.

"Alright, you can go back now. I'll have my secretary let you know if there's any news." Chairman Liu nodded to Su Liu as a farewell, then turned and walked towards the door.

Su Liu and Chen Si still felt a sense of unreality even after they walked out of the academy building.

"Sister Chen." Su Liu looked at the gate of the Public Security University not far away, a bewildered expression on her face. "Was this too easy?"

Having worked in the film and television industry for over a decade, Chen Si was used to shirking responsibility and procrastination. This was the first time she had encountered a conversation where there was no small talk and resources were simply handed over without any formalities.

"Could it be that our script really resonated with them?"

The serious faces of the two presidents flashed through Su Liu's mind. "They're so old, really? Did they just get carried away and give us their full support in a moment of passion?"

Who knows?

"So...should we still look for Shangshi?"

Shangshi Pictures is a core producer of Tomato TV, but judging from the current situation, "Unnatural" is very likely to be broadcast on CCTV.

"I don't know." Chen Si had a kind of happy trouble at the moment. "Let's wait for news from Chairman Wang."

Su Liu nodded; this trip to Yanjing had gone incredibly smoothly. The Forensic Medicine Association's attitude towards the drama was like rain after a long drought—it was truly baffling.

Meanwhile, Chairman Liu pushed open the office door, and Secretary-General Zhai followed closely behind. Chairman Wang, on the other hand, took the script to the police station.

"Old Zhai," Chairman Liu stopped by the window and suddenly asked, "Have you been in contact with Tie Mei recently?"

Secretary-General Zhai was slightly surprised to hear the name. "No, we haven't been in touch for a long time."

Chairman Liu nodded silently, his voice somewhat low, "This Tie Mei is just being controlled by the title of 'First Female Forensic Doctor.' She won't listen to a word I say."

The person President Liu was referring to was Wang Tiemei, known as the "First Female Forensic Doctor," who was the vice president of the Forensic Medicine Association before September of this year.

"Vice President Wang... that's just his straightforward personality," Secretary-General Zhai carefully chose a word.

"Upright? At your age, you act so recklessly; to put it bluntly, you're brainless."

Secretary-General Zhai remained silent and did not respond.

President Liu sighed and sat back in his chair. "She's caused the association so much trouble, yet she's all free of any problems."

"However, the script for cultural revival has come at just the right time."

President Liu let out a short laugh. "That's true. We can only hope that the broadcast of this drama will salvage some of the association's reputation."

Wang Tiemei was the first female forensic pathologist. The forensic drama that Chairman Liu mentioned in his previous conversation was based on her.

In August of this year, Vice President Wang, questioning the forensic examination results of a case that had garnered significant public attention, resolutely issued a public statement announcing his resignation as vice president and his withdrawal from the Forensic Medicine Association.

In the video, she vehemently criticized the internal atmosphere of the academic society and expressed her despair about the current state of the forensic profession.

The video immediately caused a huge uproar upon its release. A deluge of questions from netizens flooded the association, severely damaging its reputation.

For months, Chairman Liu and several vice-chairmen have been overwhelmed by online criticism.

Just then, Fu-Su Culture handed over the script for "Unnatural Death".
