This director is vindictive.

Chapter 212 Chen Mo, have you had plastic surgery?
The 2019 summer movie season has come to an end amidst much fanfare.

This summer's box office has been quite exciting, with the domestic animated film "Ne Zha" pushing the box office to the top two, and now accumulating nearly 5 billion yuan in box office revenue.

Moreover, they obtained the key to extend the film's run, allowing them to continue reaping box office profits and pushing the record for domestic animated films even higher.

However, these are not the most exciting. The most exciting are Chen Mo's "All or Nothing" and Teng Huatao's "Shanghai Fortress".

The former, "All or Nothing," not only sparked a wave of anti-fraud fervor across China, but also uncovered many things, such as the fact that some Hong Kong celebrities had endorsed and promoted telecom fraud groups.

"All In" further solidified Chen Mo's reputation as the king of realistic dramas. Of course, it's worth mentioning that the box office success of "All In" and "Ne Zha" boosted Shengshi Pictures' stock price, causing it to hit several consecutive daily price limits.

Many stock investors made a fortune from it, and Chen Mo's movies have become, in some netizens' words, a wealth code or a trend indicator.

Whenever a film directed by Chen Mo is released, Shengshi Pictures always experiences a surge in its stock price.

Teng Huatao also gained widespread recognition during this summer season, mainly due to his baffling actions.

With the pre-release publicity for "Shanghai Fortress" being so popular, he even created the persona of Xiao Yan in the film industry, who is said to have experienced the ups and downs of life, just like the protagonist in a novel who makes a comeback.

But in the end, they pulled a big one at the last minute.

While "Ne Zha" gave Chinese animated films renewed hope for their resurgence, this film single-handedly destroyed the already limited hope for Chinese science fiction films.

However, while this person failed to entertain the public in the film, his subsequent actions successfully entertained the public.

He's even been dubbed the number one director at shifting blame! Could this be considered a different kind of overnight fame?
"Shanghai Fortress" successfully competed with "Yunnan Insect Valley" for the title of worst film of the year!

The following month was a lull, but of course, September was destined to be anything but peaceful this year.

After all, this year marks the 70th anniversary, and Chinese people usually attach great importance to years ending in 10.

Moreover, it is the 70th anniversary celebration that has attracted nationwide attention.

This year's National Day film season features three highly anticipated films, all of which are patriotic films: "My People, My Country," "The Captain," and "The Climbers."
Of these three films, only "My People, My Country" has some connection to Chen Mo; the other two have absolutely nothing to do with him.

The film "My People, My Country" was directed by Chen Shiren. The reason why this film is said to be related to Chen Mo is that when Chen Shiren was promoting the film, he mentioned that the earliest inspiration for the film came from a conversation he had with Chen Mo about "Caught in the Web".

Actually, this is no secret in the industry. Back then, Chen Mo was just a small director, so they used the idea that patriotic films were good and wonderful to "persuade" Chen Mo. Unexpectedly, many years later, their words have actually come true.

Then Chen Mo did nothing but get the title of screenwriter. Of course, at the beginning, Chen Shiren also invited Chen Mo to direct a play, but Chen Mo really didn't have the time at the time, so he finally recommended Wen Muye, a director under Shengshi Pictures.

In fact, there was another reason why Chen Mo refused: he really couldn't spare much time for the movie's promotional tours in September and October.

Because Jing Tian's due date is approaching.

Chen Mo naturally cherished his first child from his two lifetimes.

Jing Tian's due date was around National Day. When Chen Mo was in September, before "All In" had even finished its run, he simply abandoned the project and ran away.

If you were to ask what the most difficult thing would be to become a modern-day Wei Xiaobao in this era, it would be...
It's not about treating everyone equally, nor is it about wealth; it's about the woman's parents!
From the outside perspective, since the entertainment industry produces scandals, cheating, vote-buying, and divorces every few years, this aspect is not really a problem.

As Shengshi Pictures' stock price continues to rise, the shares Chen Mo gifted to his female confidantes have become increasingly valuable. Now, almost no one talks about Chen Mo being a scumbag anymore.

Chen Mo even became the man that countless female celebrities and many girls admired because of this!
After all, aside from being a womanizer, Chen Mo is indeed beyond reproach.

Without even any "agreement," he directly and freely provided the women who followed him with a substantial financial foundation, ensuring that they would not have to worry about money in the future.

In this era where everyone is trying to be the worst, people like Chen Mo are actually more acceptable.

But for Chen Mo, what he least wanted to do and what he was most afraid of was meeting his parents!
If his confidantes weren't celebrities or public figures, then it wouldn't be a big deal.

However, it's obvious that they are all celebrities in the entertainment industry, and among the most outstanding ones. Therefore, Chen Mo, this incompetent son-in-law, is synonymous with "scumbag" in their families.

Although they knew that this was the current social climate, and that Chen Mo had indeed treated their daughter well, at least very generously.

But that doesn't mean they'll give Chen Mo a friendly look.

Therefore, Chen Mo avoids meeting them as much as possible.

This wasn't the first time Chen Mo had met Jing Tian's parents. He vividly remembered the look in Jing Tian's father's eyes when he first met her parents; it still gave Chen Mo lingering fear.

Although Jing's mother treated him better, it wasn't much better.

After all, it's one thing for someone to have raised such a beautiful cabbage for so many years, but it was ruined by Chen Mo, that pig. The worst part is that he's a philandering pig.

But what can they do now that the deed is done?
Not wanting to break up the couple, they could only turn a blind eye.

However, that doesn't mean they're welcoming to Chen Mo. When Chen Mo appeared, they still didn't give him a friendly look, and it was already considered polite that they didn't directly beat him up.

Chen Mo could understand. After all, if his daughter encountered a man like that, Chen Mo would teach him a lesson in no time. But people are always hypocritical, cough cough!
Fortunately, they are all reasonable people, and this attitude is only directed at Chen Mo personally. They get along very well with Chen's parents.

The main problem is that Chen Mo's parents have always felt sorry for the girl because their son is such a jerk, so they keep apologizing and behaving themselves. They just can't stand up for themselves!
As a result, after Chen Mo returned, no one in the family, except for the young rich woman, wanted to see him.

Chen Mo looked at Jing Tian, ​​who had clearly become much fuller, and his stiff smile relaxed.

Lying on her swollen belly, I felt the pulse of life.

At that moment, it was as if the whole world had fallen silent.

The little guy was quite mischievous; when Chen Mo was lying down and feeling it, he kicked him several times in a row, which was a very magical feeling.

To maintain the surprise, no gender test was conducted, meaning that neither Chen Mo nor Jing Tian knows whether the baby is a boy or a girl.

"Chen Mo, do you prefer a daughter or a son?" Jing Tian asked curiously.

To be honest, Chen Mo was actually a bit conflicted.

Well, he actually prefers his daughter a little more. After all, a daughter is a father's sweetheart from a past life, and a daughter is a father's close and comforting daughter.

But when he thought about himself, and how girls are more likely to suffer losses as they grow up, he felt a little melancholy.

"I like them all. What about you?" Chen Mo asked as they strolled through the yard, holding her hand.

"I love my daughter. I'll dress her up beautifully in the future, hehe," Jing Tian said dreamily.

"Let me tell you, I recently read something." Although Jing Tian is already a mother-to-be, her charming and innocent nature remains unchanged, and she chattered on about her thoughts.

As Chen Mo listened, she felt increasingly worried for the baby girl in her belly. The baby wasn't even born yet, and her mother was already dreaming about how to tinker with and play with her.

Chen Mo was left feeling somewhat amused and exasperated.

In the days that followed, Chen Mo did almost nothing else but stay by her side.

Fortunately, Jing Tian is in good physical condition, and with the help of a professional private medical team, there is no need to worry about this aspect.

The other female confidantes also tacitly refrained from complaining, and instead came to visit in batches, bringing a plethora of gifts.

However, as they left, their eyes lingered with resentment when they looked at Chen Mo.

I'm mainly just envious!

Perhaps for them, the only remaining hope is to have a child, just like Jing Tian.

However, there was also good news. Perhaps due to her proximity, Gao Yuanyuan also received good news. It was probably because she had been with Chen Mo on set while filming "All In," so she finally got what she wanted.

But Chen Mo was at a loss, because Gao Yuanyuan had mentioned to him that his parents also wanted to meet him.

This is what he's most afraid of right now. He's never actually met Gao Yuanyuan's parents, but he has met Gao Yuanyuan's brother. The first time they met, Chen Mo was almost knocked unconscious by a punch.

Actually, Chen Mo was most afraid of Yang Mi's parents, mainly because he had heard that Yang Mi's father was "Uncle Hat," and his fighting skills were probably not weak.

Therefore, Chen Mo really tries to avoid things if possible.

Who told me I was in the wrong?
Time passed day by day, and the film industry was in turmoil, with several movies scheduled for release during the National Day holiday receiving massive publicity. Finally, on September 15th, her water broke in the middle of the night, and she was rushed to the delivery room.

Although Jing Tian was in good health and had no problems in several checkups, how could Chen Mo not be nervous when the time came?
In fact, not only Chen Mo, but also Jing's parents and Chen's parents were extremely nervous.

After all, this is the first time for both families!

Chen Mo kept pacing around outside, glancing towards the delivery room every now and then.

Finally, a cry rang out, and soon the door to the real estate agency opened, and a nurse came out.

"Congratulations Mr. Chen on the birth of your daughter! Mother and daughter are safe and sound, and the baby is healthy, weighing 6 pounds 6 ounces!" the nurse announced.

Chen Mo quickly took out the prepared red envelope and stuffed it into the nurse's hand.

Chen Mo went in immediately, but instead of focusing on the baby, he walked to the bedside with some heartache and looked at Jing Tian, ​​who seemed weak after giving birth.

"You've worked hard!" Chen Mo said, holding her hand.

"It's not hard work at all!" Jing Tian frowned slightly, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What is it?" Chen Mo asked, puzzled.

“Look at our daughter!” Jing Tian said.

Chen Mo then looked at his baby girl in the swaddling clothes and couldn't help but reach out to find her little hand. As a result, his chubby little hand immediately grasped Chen Mo's fingers.

In that instant, a wondrous feeling of blood connection washed over him, and a gentle smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Mo's face.

Looking at his daughter, who was still a little wrinkled and ugly because she was only recently born, Chen Mo felt somewhat dazed.

I'm a dad now!

He looked at Jing Tian with some confusion: "What's wrong? Didn't the doctor say that our daughter is very healthy?"

"No! Chen Mo!" Suddenly, Jing Tian looked at her daughter and then at Chen Mo with some hesitation, as if she didn't know what to say.

"What's wrong?" Chen Mo sat down and brushed the hair stuck to his forehead, asking.

"Chen Mo, have you had plastic surgery?" Jing Tian suddenly asked a question that left Chen Mo completely dumbfounded.

"Plastic surgery?" Chen Mo was completely bewildered.

"With what I have, do you think I need it? No, why are you suddenly wondering about this?" Chen Mo was genuinely at a loss for words.

I have absolutely no idea why she would suddenly ask such a strange and bizarre question.

Jing Tian frowned slightly, looking puzzled, and said, "But my dad, my mom, your dad, your mom, me, and you, both men and women, are all quite good-looking. So why is she so ugly? What will she do in the future? Won't she lack confidence because she's so ugly?"

Chen Mo almost couldn't help but laugh when he saw Jing Tian's completely incomprehensible expression.

As expected of you! Your thought process is truly something else.

"Ahem, didn't anyone tell you that all newborns look like this? It's because they've been soaking in amniotic fluid for so long that their skin is all wrinkled. It'll all fall off after a while! Besides, there's an old saying that the uglier a newborn is, the better. Don't worry about it." Chen Mo coughed twice to cover it up, then explained earnestly.

"Is that so? You're not lying to me?" Jing Tian looked at Chen Mo suspiciously.

“Really, when have I ever lied to you? If you don’t believe me, you can ask Mom and Dad later,” Chen Mo said.

"Then I'm relieved!" Jing Tian finally felt at ease.

Chen Mo picked up his daughter. At this moment, his daughter was indeed wrinkled and quite ugly, but Chen Mo held her as if she were a precious treasure.

This is his daughter!
Having lived two lives, this is his first time being a father.

An unprecedented joy welled up within me.

After that, Chen Mo was kicked out.

He was even deprived of the right to name his child.

However, he still managed to get the chance to give his child a nickname, which is DouDou. The formal name was decided by his parents and JingTian's parents together, and they even asked his third uncle to take a look before deciding on it.

His full name is Chen Qi! Anyway, Chen Mo didn't think there was anything special about this name, but his third uncle was being all sorts of weird and mysterious, and after a lot of fuss, they came up with this name.

Chen Mo immediately notified the relevant people of the news.

For example, her several close female friends.

After that, they came to see the child in batches, bringing a whole bunch of gifts.

They all looked at the little one with such envy, wishing they could have one themselves right away.

Chen Mo felt that his kidneys were going to suffer again in the coming days.

Although Chen Mo and several women, including Jing Tian, ​​had almost publicly acknowledged their relationship, Chen Mo naturally wouldn't announce the birth of his child to the public.

Furthermore, Chen Mo does not plan to allow his daughter to appear in the public eye in the future.

Next, Chen Mo experienced what it's like to be a father, but he was quickly disliked.

The main thing is that a group of people are surrounding a little one, and everyone treats the child like their own precious treasure, and everything they have is the best.

Instead, they complained that Chen Mo was in the way, even complaining about him holding a child. They then claimed that as a public figure, Chen Mo's absence during the upcoming National Day holiday would raise suspicions, so they kicked him out.

Chen Mo suspected that his parents and in-laws simply felt that the four of them weren't enough to keep up with the little guy's time, so they deliberately drove him away.

What could Chen Mo do? Although he really wanted to continue being a good father, he actually couldn't get involved!
Even Jing Tian thought Chen Mo was clumsy and flustered when changing diapers.

Sure enough, people change. Look at her, the rich woman used to be focused on herself, but now that she has a daughter, she's put herself second.

And as for my parents, it goes without saying that they can't get enough of hugging me all day long.

They even secretly urged Chen Mo to hurry up and produce more.

Now she doesn't mind Chen Mo's womanizing ways anymore, really!
However, to Chen Mo's relief, after the birth of his little princess, his parents-in-law's attitude towards him seemed to have improved considerably.

On the other hand, as National Day approaches, the promotional reach of several films is expanding.

The films "My People, My Country", "The Captain", and "The Climbers" all sent Chen Mo invitations to attend their premieres.

Chen Mo really couldn't refuse.

Chen Mo was at least one of the screenwriters for "My People, My Country".

"The Captain" is one of Bona Film Group's "Pride of China Trilogy," and the two companies have collaborated before. Since Yu Dongdu personally called to invite him, Chen Mo naturally couldn't refuse.

As for "The Climbers," which stars Wu Jing, he immediately invited Chen Mo to participate.

Although they are all mainstream films, there is competition among them.

They will inevitably have to compete to see who is better.

Today, Chen Mo can be considered a barometer of the film industry!

Therefore, they naturally all hoped that Chen Mo could say a few words for the film and give it his endorsement. After all, almost every film that Chen Mo has praised has been a success.

Oh, no, "Yunnan Insect Valley" is an exception, but Chen Mo's forced performance back then proved that he wasn't that optimistic about the film.
