This director is vindictive.

Chapter 198 Hey! You fox demon, stop your arrogance!

Besides Chen Mo, the biggest impact of Shengshi Pictures' listing was on the billions or tens of billions of yuan in gifts that people were talking about.

For female celebrities in the entertainment industry—no, let alone female celebrities in the entertainment industry—even for girls in society, this is hardly a case of being fickle or a scumbag.

This is what real romance looks like, okay? This is what true deep affection looks like, okay?
"What problems between men and women can't be solved with a few hundred million? If there are, then we'll just give you a few hundred million more!"

"Do you mean the same thing as I understand 'several hundred million'?"

"I used to think this was just a joke, but with Chen Mo's generosity, it's really baffling. After all, he really did give hundreds of millions, no, billions!"

"Look, even the boxers are silent!"

"Heh, what do you think? What could be more respectful to a woman than handing her a billion dollars in cash?"

Don’t tell me, don’t tell me.

Someone once said that they would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle.

But your materialistic mindset is so narrow-minded, isn't it?
If you abandon your old love for a few hundred thousand and throw yourself into the arms of a new one, people will call you a gold digger. But if you do it for hundreds of millions, no one will call you a gold digger; they'll just say you have great taste!

Of course, in reality, such things are extremely rare, which is why Chen Mo's actions are so astonishing.

Suddenly, Chen Mo, this blatant scumbag, became synonymous with "best boyfriend."

"If you're giving me a billion, I wouldn't mind if you brought ten or eight men!"

Although this sounds exaggerated, it's the reality!
Chen Mo didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

He hadn't really thought that much about it; he just felt that all he could offer was money!

As for whether he would feel bad about giving away the shares, which were worth so much money, Chen Mo didn't feel that way at all.

At this point, money really is just a number to him.

It's just numbers, isn't it? Don't be fooled by the outside world's talk about how much he's worth; the rise and fall of the company's stock has absolutely no impact on him.

His life continued as usual, with no difference from before.

However, he had moved several of his female confidantes so much that they had been incredibly considerate and gentle towards him during this time, making Chen Mo feel a little uncomfortable.

After Shengshi Pictures went public, Chen Mo's reputation grew even more, but he kept a low profile.

Too much of a good thing is bad.

However, as if not wanting Chen Mo to steal the spotlight, the entertainment industry is also racking its brains to grab the headlines.

Sure enough, the news that Chen Mo and his group of female confidantes had increased their net worth and achieved a wealth myth by going public in November had only recently become a trending topic.

It was all snatched away by the bizarre events that occurred at the awards ceremony.

It has to be said that 2018 was a truly magical year. I don't know what happened to the award ceremonies this year, but none of them ended perfectly!
In October, at the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony, Dilraba won Best Actress for her role in "Pretty Li Huizhen," which had a rating of 4.8, leaving netizens stunned!
Judging from the nominees, any of the works by actresses like Yang Zi, Liu Tao, Sun Li, and Yin Tao could easily surpass Dilraba's on stage. Aside from the questionable casting, it seems impossible to see any reason why she should win. After this flooding of the Golden Eagle Awards, netizens are calling the Golden Eagle Festival a "water festival," and the ceremony received its lowest score ever on Douban.

This year's Golden Eagle Awards ceremony only received a 2.0 rating on Douban!
It's not even as good as Bi Dao's "Chasing Dreams in the Entertainment Industry"!
However, this was just the beginning; the Huading Awards ceremony was not to be outdone.

If the Golden Eagle Awards are considered too much of a gimmick, then the Huading Awards are even more of a "fake" award. At the time, the Huading Awards officially released the list of nominees for Best Actor in a TV series with a modern theme, which included Zhang Luyi, Zhu Feng, Lei Datou, Zhang Yi, and Yan Yikuan. They also released posters and called on fans to vote.

Yan Yikuan's fans actively participated, and he even ranked second in the online voting. However, unexpectedly, at the awards ceremony, Yan Yikuan, who was nominated for Best Actor, was replaced by Chen Xiao. Both the fans and Yan Yikuan were dumbfounded. Later, Yan Yikuan posted on Weibo to express his doubts about the award, feeling that he had let down his fans' votes.

But that wasn't all. Another major embarrassing moment occurred at this year's Global Chinese Music Awards ceremony, where female singer Va said during her acceptance speech, "This is the most chaotic awards ceremony I've ever seen. I hope it can be more professional next time, otherwise, I might as well not accept this kind of award!" After saying that, she put the trophy on the ground, refused to accept the award, and turned and left the stage, leaving the host in an awkward situation who couldn't salvage the situation.

Afterwards, the singer posted a long article on Weibo in response to his refusal to accept the award, pointing out the unprofessionalism of the organizers and the host's mistake in calling the artist by the wrong name on the day of the ceremony.

However, the host said he didn't want to take the blame and posted a series of long articles on Weibo to argue with VA, accusing VA of disrespecting the trophy and staff. The two's online spat made the awards ceremony look even more undignified.

Even netizens exclaimed, "These award ceremonies are really going all out to grab headlines!"

Actually, both the Golden Eagle Awards and the Huading Awards sent invitations to Chen Mo, but he didn't go. The main reason is that he's become too popular lately and wants to keep a low profile, so he naturally wouldn't want to attend those kinds of events.

Of course, Chen Mo is actually regretting it now; he should have gone! It would have been much more interesting to watch the drama unfold live!
However, if he were to go, it would be quite awkward. After all, as one of the most popular directors in the entertainment industry, if he were to go, he would likely be surrounded and bombarded with questions by the media afterwards.

So staying home and enjoying the melons is perfectly fine.

"Tell me what you were thinking? You're really something! You actually managed to get Dilraba to win Best Actress. What were you after? The most worthless Best Actress?" Chen Mo said with a hint of schadenfreude.

Yang Mi rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "Well, something is better than nothing, right? Gwyneth Paltrow is called an Oscar 'water queen,' but she's still a genuine Best Actress winner!"

If you say that Dilraba winning Best Actress has nothing to do with Yang Mi, Chen Mo would never believe it, not even if you beat him to death.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Alright, whatever makes you happy!"

"Hey, aren't you planning to film several dramas next year? Do you have any suitable roles for Dilraba?" Yang Mi's foxy eyes darted around, and she started eyeing Chen Mo.

Chen Mo turned his head and looked Yang Mi up and down.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Although Yang Mi and Chen Mo had been a "long-term married couple," she still felt a little uneasy under Chen Mo's strange gaze.

"She's quite pretty, but how can she be so arrogant? Neither you nor I would be interested in her, so why would I be interested in the Empress?" Chen Mo teased.

In terms of looks, both Dilraba and Yang Mi are indeed beauties.

But as for acting skills, sorry, Chen Mo said that Yang Mi might have some, and if they don't take on multiple roles at the same time, Chen Mo wouldn't mind, but as for Dilraba, he really wouldn't consider her.

The dramas he's going to film next year aren't idol dramas; they all need actors with solid acting skills. Why put Dilraba in one?

Although she's considered one of his own because of Yang Mi, Chen Mo is still very serious about his work. Like Yang Mi, money, shares, resources, etc. are all fine, but when it comes to acting in his own dramas, he's a bit hesitant. It really depends on whether it's suitable for him or not.

"Actually, I really don't understand you. You're not short of money now, so why are you still working so hard?" Chen Mo was puzzled.

Speaking of Yang Mi, the shares she holds in Shengshi Pictures are worth at least a billion yuan.

Moreover, her shares are not the kind of restricted shares that can be cashed out at any time.

So she definitely doesn't lack money, which is completely different from her previous life. But this girl still hasn't changed her workaholic nature and is still working very hard.

Of all Chen Mo's women, he is arguably the most career-driven.

Even Fan Binbin's mindset is gradually changing. She's not as career-driven as before, perhaps because she's reached a certain age. So lately, she's been more focused on following in Jing Tian's footsteps, taking every opportunity to exploit Chen Mo. Women, your name is greed. She's already given him a billion, but every time she comes, she takes away several hundred million more.

"You can't just give up halfway through something, can you? I just want to prove myself and that I'm no worse than anyone else!" Yang Mi said.

In her past life, she worked so hard, but in the end, she was just working for capital.

Of course, in this life, because of Chen Mo, Jiaxing's development is much better than in the previous life. And the key is that, with the backing of Shengshi Pictures and Chen Mo, it won't end up being kicked out!

This is why Chen Mo couldn't understand why she was still working so hard.

Does he really want to become a people's artist? (Sarcasm intended)

"And what about you? Aren't you the same? You have more money than you could spend in several lifetimes, so why do you still make movies?" Yang Mi said irritably.

"Okay, whatever makes you happy!" Chen Mo really didn't know how to answer this question.

"By the way, is 'Sunny Sisters' still being filmed?" Yang Mi suddenly changed the subject and asked.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "Let's forget it. Tian Tian is pregnant, although she's not showing yet. If I let her act in a movie, my parents would tear me apart."

"Hmph!" Yang Mi was furious when she heard Chen Mo mention Jing Tian.

It's strange, actually. They're not exactly young anymore, and they don't seem to have any deep-seated hatred for each other, but their auras just don't click. They just don't like each other.

"Actually, I also want to take a break for a while. Why don't you help me?" Yang Mi suddenly narrowed her fox-like eyes and said with a sly smile.

"What can I do to help you? If you want to rest, then rest. Who can force you to work?" Chen Mo said speechlessly.

"Only you can help with this, and if I were to ask someone else for help, you'd probably tear me apart!" Yang Mi said to Chen Mo with a charming smile.

"No, you can't do this out of spite. Are you really prepared?" Chen Mo said, looking at her.

"What do you mean by sulking! I'm serious, okay? You weren't drained dry by those girls and you're done for, were you?" Yang Mi looked at Chen Mo suspiciously.

Although a man certainly can't say no, Chen Mo nonchalantly replied, "So what? I need to rest too! Please come earlier next time!"

"Really? Oh dear, they specially prepared Bai Qian's complete costume. It seems it won't be of any use." Yang Mi looked regretful.

Chen Mo exclaimed, "Wow, this is incredible!"

Upon hearing this, he was no longer sleepy!

"Ahem, well, since we've already prepared, let's not waste it," Chen Mo said seriously.

If you ask what outfit is the most alluring in Big Secret, Chen Mo thinks it must be the fox costume. After all, the role she plays most perfectly is probably one with a touch of "fox-like charm".

What character could be more alluring than Bai Qian or Tu Shan Hong Hong?

"Didn't you say there wasn't a single drop left?" Yang Mi gave Chen Mo a flirtatious, seductive look.

"That's not important! What's important is that you've prepared everything, and I can't let you down, right?" Chen Mo said righteously.

"You're such a jerk!" Yang Mi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chen Mo.

"Wait!"

After saying that, she went to prepare.

Chen Mo was indeed quite looking forward to it. In fact, compared to Bai Qian, Chen Mo remembered the "Tu Shan Hong Hong" look more vividly.

In her past life, Yang Mi was 35 years old. I remember seeing a promotional photo of her in a red off-shoulder ancient costume. Her beautiful back was particularly eye-catching. The sheer fabric of the dress accentuated her slender figure, revealing her delicate collarbone and perfect right-angled shoulders. Sitting amidst a sea of ​​flowers, she crossed her legs, revealing only one sexy, slender, and straight leg.

The fox costume, in particular, is absolutely perfect.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she's at the pinnacle of acting in fox spirits in China!
However, Yang Mi was clearly prepared this time, as she didn't come out until more than half an hour later.

The next second, Chen Mo's eyes widened. There was no way around it; Yang Mi was not only wearing a gossamer-thin gauze dress, with her undergarment barely visible underneath, but more importantly, her makeup was also fox-like. The corners of her eyes were drawn in red, and there were two red lines on her brows that followed her alluring eyes upwards. Combined with her naturally fox-like features, it was as if a living fox spirit was standing right in front of Chen Mo.

Moreover, she was clearly well-prepared, as her fluffy fox tail swayed behind her as she walked.

She walked barefoot towards Chen Mo.

Chen Mo suddenly felt his mouth go dry, but just then, his phone rang abruptly.

Chen Mo and Yang Mi were both dumbfounded. They didn't want to pay attention to the phone ringing, but the phone kept ringing and it was really spoiling the mood, so they had no choice but to stop it.

Yang Mi's composure immediately deflated.

Chen Mo said somewhat helplessly, "Can't you just turn off your phone like I do?"

Yang Mi stuck out her tongue, somewhat annoyed. Who could it be at this hour?

But when she looked at the caller ID on her phone, she felt a little strange.

"Who is it? Why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Mo asked, puzzled.

“Your mother!” Yang Mi said.

Chen Mo was immediately dumbfounded.
"Why would she call you at this hour?" Chen Mo asked, completely bewildered.

Yang Mi ignored Chen Mo and quickly answered the call.

"Auntie!" Her voice was so sweet!

Combined with her current outfit, the contrast is striking.

"Honey, I hope I didn't disturb you this late?" came my mother's voice from the other end of the phone.

"No, no! Auntie, you're still awake too?" Yang Mi quickly replied.

"Is Chen Mo with you?" Mom asked.

"Oh? Yes! Auntie, are you looking for Chen Mo? He's right next to me, I'll let him answer the phone," Yang Mi said.

Then Yang Mi handed the phone to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo answered the phone: "Mom? Why are you calling so late? Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just couldn't get through to you on the phone." After his mother's explanation, Chen Mo was speechless with delight.

He was truly taken aback. He picked up his phone and glanced at it—oh, it was off!
The reason my mom was still calling at this hour was because someone called her saying her son had an accident and that they urgently needed to pay medical bills. Of course, my mom didn't believe it. What a joke! No matter what, Chen Mo is a billionaire with a net worth of billions, and he's not without support. How could he possibly be short of medical bills?
So she knew immediately that the other party was a scammer and that it was a fraudulent call.

But as a mother, I always want to confirm it.

When she called Chen Mo, his phone was switched off, which made her mother a little worried.

She called several women one by one, and eventually got through to Yang Mi, which led her to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo called each of the women in turn to let them know, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble might have ensued.

After this interruption, Chen Mo and Yang Mi looked at each other in bewilderment.

Both of them couldn't help but laugh, never expecting that such a thing would happen to their own family.

Of course, this little incident had some impact, but it wasn't too significant.

It just goes to show how pitiful parents are.

This only strengthened Yang Mi's resolve to achieve her goal, especially considering that Jing Tian, ​​that seemingly naive girl, had gotten there first. Yang Mi was very indignant!
She had been preparing for tonight for quite some time and had even chosen the right day, so she certainly wouldn't give up halfway.

As for matters between men and women, things quickly started brewing again. Although the atmosphere wasn't as perfect as before, Yang Mi still managed to get what she wanted and successfully swindled several hundred million from Chen Mo.

Whether or not you can truly achieve your wish depends on fate!
Chen Mo hadn't really taken this matter to heart.

But there are always treacherous people trying to harm me! Or as they say, fame brings trouble.

Originally, the events at several award ceremonies successfully stole the spotlight from Chen Mo. After all, in the entertainment industry, you can't keep a single juicy story going for long.

There are always new juicy stories emerging to entertain everyone.

However, Chen Mo soon found himself in trouble again!

What's more, this whole thing is pretty ridiculous! It wasn't a big deal, and it didn't even qualify for trending on social media, but somehow it got involved with Chen Mo.
