This director is vindictive.

Chapter 163 Chen Mo enters the medical industry, wanting to be a real medicine god?
"Reality adapts movies, and movies change reality. How amazing is 'Dying to Survive'?"

"Dying to Survive has been a huge success! The true story behind it shocked the nation!"

"Foreign countries have The Crucible, Food Inc., and Toilet Heroes, and we also have Dying to Survive!"

The media reported on it all at once.

At first, everyone was just discussing it, but with the official certification and recognition, and indeed because of "I Am Not a God of Medicine" or the deeds of the prototype characters, the medical reform news came out indirectly.

In fact, "Dying to Survive" has already been hailed as a masterpiece.

Perhaps there are still some people who say that "Dying to Survive" is over-hyped.

But for many ordinary audiences, they don’t think so much. They just think that if a movie can make people laugh, cry, be touched, resonate with emotions, and actually indirectly change some things, and the change is in a good direction, then that is enough.

As for the claim that "Dying to Survive" plagiarized "Dallas Buyers Club", it was even more ridiculed.

Based on a real-life prototype, right?

The prototype characters are all there, could it be that the prototype characters are also plagiarized from the movie?
As for the question of whether the film's rating is too high, for a domestic film like "Dying to Survive", it can be said that once it has a high rating, a high box office, or reaches the level of nationwide discussion, there will inevitably be many people who will come out to nitpick.

However, this time something was different.

Because, you are talking about movies and bragging about how good foreign movies are, but you ignore the most important point, which is that this movie affects the vital interests of our people, and no matter how good a foreign movie is, it is just their movie!

In fact, there is one interesting point. Due to language factors, foreign films will most likely get high scores as long as the plot is good and the character performances are in place. Domestic films are different. In addition to the completeness of the plot, domestic audiences also have extremely high requirements for the character's monologue, tone, facial expressions, and background music. Some requirements are even extremely harsh.

However, when a person becomes famous, he or she will be surrounded by gossips, and the same is true for the same popular movie.

For example, the strategy of advance screenings of "Dying to Survive" was not talked about by anyone at the beginning. However, as the advance screenings of "Dying to Survive" became a huge hit and directly occupied the top three of the box office charts with the advance screenings, many people began to get restless.

At this moment, the National Day box office is completely dominated by "Dying to Survive", so there is no need to say more sarcastic remarks.

"The advanced screening model of 'Dying to Survive' is completely undermining the normal rules of movie releases!"

"Behind the box office success of 'Dying to Survive' is an act of breaking the rules and harming others for personal gain!"

"The film's box office success is due to its advanced screenings dominating multiple schedules, squeezing out other films' schedules!"

In fact, many people are not really that dissatisfied with the advance screening of "Dying to Survive" to grab box office revenue. Everyone knows that not everyone can play this game.

But if the movie doesn’t sell well, you always have to find a reason or an excuse!
There are many interesting things, such as the many negative reviews that appeared on the Internet in response to such remarks.

"Relying on your own excellence to monopolize other people's box office? It's immoral. I won't say more. The tickets will start at 8 o'clock. I'll talk about it after I finish watching it."

"It's a rubbish movie. Everyone's laughing on the poster, so why did I end up crying?"

"What's with the advanced screening? Stealing other people's box office? How shameless! You even messed up my makeup! Professor Do, come over and touch up my makeup!"

"The movie's over, and I haven't even eaten any of my hot popcorn. What a terrible movie! They just want to seduce me!"

"Professor Do, what the hell do you mean? Explain it to me clearly. Did I buy a ticket to the cinema so you could make me cry? I used to laugh when I saw your movies before! I was happy, but what about this time? If you don't explain yourself clearly, I'll let you do whatever you want!"

The popularity of "Dying to Survive" continues, but Chen Mo's mind is no longer on it.

He was actually quite worried about Fan Binbin's matter. He had originally thought about trying to direct "In the Name", but later found that it was totally unrealistic.

However, it’s not a pity to miss Chen Mo. After all, this kind of drama is very special and sensitive.

However, Chen Mo was confused about what kind of work to shoot after "Dying to Survive".

His initial idea was to create an original work, but when he really sat down to think about it, he found that there were so many things to think about that he couldn't make any sense of them.

After all, in his previous life, he was just an unknown online movie director.

As a screenwriter, he is really no better than others.

I will definitely try it in the future, but at this stage, Chen Mo found that he had no idea where to start.

Unable to think of anything, Chen Mo simply stopped thinking about it.

"Dying to Survive" finally concluded with a box office of over 30 billion yuan, and Chen Mo once again successfully fulfilled his boast.

Although he is just a director, the box office myth of "Dying to Survive" has also made Chen Mo's every move a focus of attention.

Look, he's in the news again.

However, unlike the box office and popular success of "Dying to Survive", for which he was praised in various ways, this time the news has left many people scratching their heads.

Because Chen Mo stopped making movies and went into business.

That’s right, Chen Mo acquired a medical device company!
"'Dying to Survive' Director Chen Mo Enters the Medical Industry, Wants to Become a True God of Medicine?"

"A filmmaker by profession, a business amateur by trade, Chen Mo is reported to have invested in a medical device company whose main product is actually face masks!"

"'Dying to Survive' grossed 30 billion yuan, so why did Chen Mo stop making movies and start selling masks?"

Many people were puzzled by this news at first, because it is actually very common for celebrities to do business, but most of them are engaged in catering, clothing brands and the like. No one thought that Chen Mo's previous traditional Chinese clothing brand "Huayun" was anything special.

But this time, it’s really speechless. Selling masks?

What future does that thing have?
The first thing that comes to many people’s mind is the masks worn by Lü Shouyi and his fellow patients in “Dying to Survive”.

But this thing has no technical difficulty at all, and anyone can make it. However, Chen Mo suddenly went to buy a mask factory and sell masks, which surprised many people.

The key is that Chen Mo admitted it himself at the first opportunity.

This makes people even more confused.

"What the hell? Isn't Chen Mo a marketing genius? But selling masks? Can this thing make money?"

"I don't understand. I don't understand at all. Isn't this thing everywhere? And the sales volume is just like that, right?"

"Are you too proud or something? You should just come back and focus on making movies instead of doing business. Do you really think you can do anything?"

The vast majority of people are confused about this matter, and of course, they are not optimistic about it.

After all, who wears a mask these days? Even if you sell millions of masks a year, it's still a stretch, right? How much money can you possibly make?

These days, it's not the time when the epidemic breaks out. For ordinary people, masks are just medical supplies, and not many people wear them normally.

In fact, it was not just netizens who were confused and dumbfounded, they also completely did not understand Chen Mo's behavior.

Even Chen Mo’s confidantes and partners have no idea what Chen Mo is thinking.

Jing Tian is better. This girl gives unconditional support anyway.

But the others were completely confused.

Including Zhao Liying, Fan Binbin, Zhang Yuqi, Gao Yuanyuan, Yang Mi and others, none of them could understand the logic behind Chen Mo's actions.

When a person does something, there must be some reason and purpose, right?

But Chen Mo's actions this time are indeed puzzling.

Even the executives of Shengshi Pictures were confused by Chen Mo's actions.

In fact, the reason why Chen Mo came up with this idea was entirely to prepare for future epidemics.

Although there are still more than two to three years before the outbreak of the epidemic, there are some things that you cannot wait until the very end to do.

Chen Mo was reborn, and he didn't think that his butterfly effect could eliminate the global epidemic.

But it is impossible for him to tell people in advance that a large-scale epidemic will occur in the future and cause panic around the world.

But knowing that this would happen, yet pretending not to know and doing nothing, Chen Mo always felt a little uneasy. His sudden decision to start a business in medical equipment, such as masks, oxygen concentrators, disinfectants, etc., would definitely make people suspect that he had ulterior motives.

So, Chen Mo suddenly thought of the iconic symbolic "mask" in "Dying to Survive".

So everyone finds it strange that I acquired a medical equipment factory and started a mask business at this time, but there must be a reason, right?

At least it won't look so abrupt. After all, people will at most think that he is getting carried away or that his business acumen is not very good. They will definitely not think of preparing for an epidemic two or three years later.

In fact, if Chen Mo wanted to keep a low profile and avoid being discovered by the media, it would be very easy.

Because he doesn't need to do this thing himself, he just needs to ask someone to buy it, so how could the media find out so easily.

But Chen Mo originally wanted to find an excuse to do the mask business, so it was impossible for him to hide it and do it at night.

No matter how much people don't understand now, when the epidemic breaks out in three years, no one will think too much about it. After all, Chen Mo started this business three years ago. Everyone will just say that Chen Mo is lucky and that a blind cat caught a dead mouse.

I would never have any wild thoughts or anything like that, let alone wonder whether Chen Mo was a prophet or knew about the epidemic in advance. After all, three years is a long time.

But seeing so many people questioning me, thinking this business is a bad idea and that I am getting too carried away, I feel really bad.

In fact, although this thing is not that profitable, it really won’t cause losses or anything.

Chen Mo acquired an established medical device factory with a complete production line and its own fixed and stable channels.

After Chen Mo acquired the company, although there was a slight premium in the early stage, it was not much. It was indeed not very profitable, but there was no problem in maintaining a balance of profits.

However, the current scale of the factory is not large. If Chen Mo wants to make more contributions when the epidemic breaks out, he must expand the scale of the factory. However, expanding the scale rashly is indeed too conspicuous, and it is difficult to understand and make people doubt his motives.

Therefore, Chen Mo still wanted to try to find a reason to expand production capacity.

That is to make the masks appear to be selling well, even if it is just a false hot sale.

Chen Mo asked the mask factory to specially produce a batch of masks with various designs.

Chen Mo's strategy this time can be said to be simple and crude. In fact, it is not that difficult to make something popular.

Especially for a big director like Chen Mo who has huge connections in the entertainment industry.

In fact, although not many ordinary people wear masks at this stage, there are still some. Especially in some areas, such as Beijing, due to climate and environmental reasons, there are actually quite a few ordinary people wearing masks.

Of course, masks are not a necessity after all, so they are mostly seen in hospitals.

There is another group, that is the celebrity group!
Chen Mo didn't plan to sell ordinary masks this time. He just wanted a reason to expand production capacity.

At the same time, they also want to use celebrities to promote products so that everyone will think that the mask business is not so unreliable.

Find a reasonable reason to endorse your actions.

In fact, celebrities are really big consumers of masks at this moment. After all, wearing masks and disguising themselves when going out is a common thing for celebrities.

"Let me help you sell goods? Masks?" Fan Binbin was a little confused when he heard Chen Mo's words.

"Yes!" Chen Mo nodded.

"No, I have never understood why you want to do the mask business? This industry doesn't seem to have any prospects, right?" Fan Binbin really didn't understand.

"Of course I have my own ideas. Just tell me whether you want to help me or not! I've agreed that I won't pay you, but you have to help me sell the goods for free." Chen Mo said righteously.

"You are so confident in making people work for free, you really are..." Fan Binbin was also amused by Chen Mo's appearance.

"Haha, I'm doing this for your own good. You'll understand in the future that the ultimate goal of being a celebrity is actually to sell goods! And selling goods through live streaming is a major trend in the future. You can experience it in advance." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Although I always feel that you have ulterior motives, forget it. Who asked you to speak? When? What do you want me to do?" Although Fan Binbin did not understand Chen Mo, he still chose to agree to Chen Mo's "weird" request.

Afterwards, Chen Mo brought in Zhao Liying, Yang Mi, Zhang Yuqi, Gao Yuanyuan, and of course the wealthy young woman Jing Tian.

Most of them, like Fan Binbin, were puzzled by Chen Mo's choice and request, but they all agreed.

Because of Chen Mo's past, they always have a mysterious confidence in Chen Mo.

These people are all the most popular young actresses in the entertainment industry right now. Although Fan Binbin was criticized by many netizens as the queen of bad movies because of "Jade Dynasty", her popularity is really high!
The same goes for Da Tiantian, Zhang Yuqi, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, and Gao Yuanyuan, needless to say.

They are all the hottest female stars nowadays.

Chen Mo's method this time was very simple and crude. He directly used celebrities to live broadcast and sell goods to hype up the sales of his own masks.

To put it bluntly, with these resources, you can sell a lot of anything.

After all, if someone wants to invite these big stars, how much would the appearance fee be?
With that kind of money, you're selling masks? You're crazy, right?

But here at Chen Mo's place, you can use it for free! That's completely different.

For this reason, Chen Mo is really not worried at all about whether the masks can be sold. Although he may be criticized for wasting resources, Chen Mo really doesn't care too much.

And will this matter benefit Fan Binbin and others? The answer is yes, although it may not be very big.

The so-called celebrity live streaming sales are the end of the story. This time, they are allowed to try live streaming sales. Although they are not the first to try it, at least, if the effect is good, it will pave a way for them in the future.

If you can even wear a mask, then isn’t it reasonable for you to endorse other products as well?

Of course, Chen Mo’s main purpose is definitely not to tell them. No matter how close they are, Chen Mo will keep this secret.

But when that time really comes, Chen Mo believes that many people will thank them.

After all, the price of masks soared in the early stages of the epidemic and they were out of stock everywhere. By then, the masks bought in advance by these celebrities would become a hot commodity.

Then of course I will thank them!
However, before this, there were still many people making fun of Chen Mo.

Especially some haters, they felt that they finally got the chance.

"You've gone crazy filming 'Dying to Survive', haven't you? Do you really think you're the God of Medicine? If you have the ability, why don't you sell medicine? Sell masks? Hahaha!"

"Yeah, it's ridiculous. I'm really too cocky. I think I can do anything. I don't know where I get that confidence from."

"Except for those who are sick or hospitalized, how many people wear this thing? Are you obsessed with filming this movie? I really want everyone to wear three layers of masks."

"No, who would he sell this thing to? He can only sell it to patients. If he wants to sell it in large quantities, isn't that cursing everyone to get sick?"

Of course, most people just don’t understand Chen Mo’s decision.

They are just calling on Chen Mo to stop being idle.

"Professor Do, stop being idle and come back to filming!"

"Two thousand, please persuade Professor Do to stop doing his job. You can't compete with others with capital. You should focus on what you are good at."

"Hurry back to filming! Hurry up! Even the donkeys in the production team don't dare to rest like this! 'Dying to Survive' has already been taken off the screen. When will the next movie be released?"

"I'm tired of laughing. Even talented directors can make mistakes sometimes. I understand. But, business is not working for us. Let's get back to filming."

For a time, many fans left messages asking Chen Mo to stop being idle and come back to filming.

Of course, there are also some people who are looking forward to it because of Chen Mo’s magical performance in the past.

"I always feel that Chen Mo is not that simple this time!"

"Yeah! He seems to have never made a wrong decision since his debut. This time, I also feel that it may not be that simple."

"Hold on, Chen Mo's masks are selling like hotcakes! I'm really curious, how will he promote them?"
