This director is vindictive.

Chapter 218 Important Notice! Please proceed under the guidance of a professional!

The promotion for "I Am Yu Huanshui" mainly emphasizes its "exhilarating" experience!
The various titles seem to be "stand-ins" for the middle-aged people who are not free and dissatisfied, as if this drama is all about being happy.

However, those who know the full story of the show all feel that Chen Mo is truly outrageous.

Of course, as far as Tencent Video is concerned, they will only say that Chen Mo's publicity stunt is truly remarkable; he is really good at reverse publicity.

In online novels, "feel-good" stories are definitely more likely to become popular than "angst-filled" stories, right?
Like this drama, if you promote all sorts of middle-aged misfortunes and tragedies, it will definitely have some effect, but it will never be as effective as it is now.

In particular, once the show is officially released, those who were looking forward to watching it and having a good time will probably start to question their life choices.

"Brother-in-law, is this kind of promotion really okay? Aren't you afraid of being criticized after the web series is released?" For example, the brother-in-law looked at his cheap brother-in-law with a look of amazement.

"Why should I be afraid of being criticized? Did I make false claims?" Chen Mo retorted.

"Uh," Fan Chenchen said, looking constipated.

Yes, is it false advertising? No, because those edited trailers really are scenes from the show.

Moreover, Chen Mo never said that this was a purely entertaining action movie!
But he still felt that Chen Mo was too wicked. Others would only cheat one or two people, but he cheated a whole group at once.

The key point is that you really can't say he's lying.

The plot is all there; it's all about building suspense before revealing the main point. But he knew about the show and had a general understanding of its content.

I know all too well that this show is not some kind of action-packed movie at all; half of it is a collection of the tragic stories of middle-aged men!

"You're too young. In the entertainment industry, being criticized is no big deal as long as it doesn't involve morality or principles! As for criticizing a work, as long as it's not terrible, what's wrong with saying a few words?"
"Besides, everyone thinks it's a 'feel-good' movie now, which has attracted a wave of traffic. And then what? After the web series is released, everyone will definitely criticize it, which will generate another wave of traffic. And when the plot from the previous short film comes out again, wouldn't that be even more 'feel-good'? That will generate another wave of traffic. So, you still have a lot to learn about promotion!" Chen Mo said with a slightly pretentious tone.

Is that really the case?
But why does he always feel like something's not quite right?
"And let me teach you another thing: what real publicity is!" Chen Mo said, and posted it on his personal Weibo account that same day.

"I solemnly declare! The plot of 'I Am Yu Huanshui' is purely fictional and does not contain any harmful guidance. All of Yu Huanshui's actions are carried out under the guidance of professionals. Please do not imitate them. If you do imitate them, you will bear the consequences yourself!"

Chen Mo has tens of millions of followers on Weibo, and almost none of them are fake followers, so his Weibo post went viral.

It immediately became the subject of ridicule and jokes among people.

"What the hell is this about 'no bad influence'? Can I say I already did it? I had a fight with my supervisor at work, and then I got N+1 for it!"

"The people upstairs have N+1, and I swear I said something to my boss, and these past few days I've been driven crazy!"

So, the reason I got retaliated against for confronting my boss was entirely because I didn't have professional guidance?

"Yu Huanshui's confrontations with his superiors, debt collection, paint-throwing, and bottle-breaking were all done under the guidance of professionals, no doubt about it. Could this professional be you, Chen Mo?"

"I had a serious argument with my wife, and then she took the kids and ran back to her parents' house. I have to go and coax her back tomorrow. This show is fucking addictive! It hasn't even aired yet! And it's already promoting something negative. I'm going to be on the show at 8 AM! Chen Mo, do you want to come and give me some pointers?"

"He's definitely a professional. I can't even handle one person in my family, but he can handle six at the same time. He's truly a professional in this area!"

"I'm different. Thanks to Chen Mo, thanks to 'I Am Yu Huanshui,' a friend borrowed a few hundred yuan from me years ago, which I had completely forgotten about. Yesterday, he suddenly added me on WeChat and transferred the money back to me! Hahaha! I guess he was afraid I would go crazy?"

"."

For the first time, Fan Chenchen realized that people are truly different.

My brother-in-law, who I call cheap, just posted a Weibo post, and the comments section exploded with thousands of comments every time I refreshed the page.

It quickly broke 10,000, then 100,000!
He was completely stunned! It was quite a shock to his imagination of what "fame" meant!

He was, after all, an idol before, and because of his older sister's fame, he received more attention than many of his contemporaries.

He had accumulated a few fans and was quite proud of himself before, but now he realized that those idol stars were nothing compared to the top celebrities!

His own brother-in-law, with just one Weibo post, showed him what a true top influencer is.

"Brother-in-law, you're amazing!" The brother-in-law's eyes sparkled.

"Hehe, do you think I can generate so much discussion just by posting a random Weibo post?" Chen Mo retorted.

"No, isn't that right?" the brother-in-law asked in astonishment.

"Nonsense, of course not!" Chen Mo rolled his eyes.

Just kidding, there's a reason behind this statement, okay? First of all, does Yu Huanshui's situation really require professional guidance? That's ridiculous! But that's precisely why everyone's criticizing and mocking him. What does absurdity mean? This is absurd too!
Look, even doing certain things requires professional guidance, but such professionals don't even exist. Isn't that absurd? What does this show? It shows the helplessness of reality!

Xiao Fan was immediately astonished. After carefully reading Chen Mo's Weibo post, he felt that he had gained enlightenment and been elevated. In his eyes, Chen Mo was simply a role model for men!
Look, he has fame, talent, money, and status. What he admires most is that others who play games, even if they are cheating on each other, will be exposed and die. But what about his cheap brother-in-law?

He's become a modern-day Wei Xiaobao, and he's managed to do it, making countless people envious, jealous, and hateful, yet surprisingly, hardly anyone criticizes him.

Even when some people called Chen Mo a "scumbag," a large number of people immediately spoke up for him.

She's living the life every man dreams of!

Chen Mo turned a web series into a whole new level of entertainment at the end of 2019.

At the same time, Chen Mo also saw the news about the epidemic. At this time, cases had appeared in Jiangcheng, but many people still thought it was just a regional outbreak.

"Don't go out unnecessarily lately, just stay home!" Chen Mo first mentioned this to his brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, what happened?" Xiao Fan was a little confused when he heard his brother-in-law's serious instructions.

"Didn't you see the news?" Chen Mo asked back.

"You mean the news from Jiangcheng? Is it that serious?" The brother-in-law's thought was the same as that of most people at this moment.

"Better safe than sorry! Safety first!" Chen Mo didn't offer any further explanation.

Chen Mo called each of his female confidantes one by one.

Their reaction was no different from that of their brother-in-law; they didn't take it too seriously.

Actually, it's the end of the year right now, the busiest time for celebrities. It's really unrealistic to expect them to stay in one place unless they're filming.

Chen Mo was just using the SARS outbreak from back then as an example to make them pay attention.

Especially Zhang Yuqi and Fan Binbin who participated in activities abroad.

There's nothing they can do. In China, even if the epidemic breaks out and they are quarantined, it's not a big deal for them. At most, they just don't have as much freedom.

But abroad, it's really hard to say. And if it really comes to that, it would be terrifying if we couldn't even come back.

“But I still have a few brand events to attend!” Zhang Yuqi said with some difficulty.

"Listen to me, come back right away!" Chen Mo insisted.

"Is it really that serious?" Zhang Yuqi was somewhat surprised to hear Chen Mo's tough attitude.

"Just come back quickly, trust me, you're not short of money, safety first!" Chen Mo continued.

"Then I'll go back after the event!" Zhang Yuqi clearly didn't take it that seriously yet.

"What activity are you participating in? I'm telling you to return to China immediately! Don't you understand?" This was the first time Chen Mo had spoken so sternly.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Don't be angry, I'll listen to you and book a flight back right away. But, darling, this is the first time you've been so domineering!" Zhang Yuqi said in an incredibly gentle tone.

Chen Mo was completely baffled. What the heck?

There's something strange about this woman; she doesn't seem like herself!
Didn't everyone say she was fierce? Back then, she was the one who slapped her ex-boyfriend even after they broke up.

Her sudden change to being so gentle and obedient, coupled with a strange sense of excitement in her tone, left Chen Mo feeling somewhat bewildered.

Speaking of which, Chen Mo feels that he is quite eccentric, while Zhang Yuqi's bad temper is well-known.

However, after they got together, the two of them almost never argued. Not only her, but Chen Mo had never argued with any of the women either.

This was actually the first time Chen Mo had been so domineering and strict. He was initially worried that this tiger-woman would rebel against him when she got angry.

But to my surprise, as soon as I got a little hard, the tigress turned into Hello Kitty!

Is this what they call...? But it doesn't seem to show up normally! Or maybe I haven't developed it enough?

Why don't we try it sometime? Chen Mo shook his head, dismissing this unhealthy idea.

Fan Binbin's reaction was similar to Zhang Yuqi's.

Chen Mo didn't take it too seriously, so he had to be tough again.

However, to Chen Mo's amusement and dismay, the woman's reaction was exactly the same as Zhang Yuqi's.

Chen Mo was starting to wonder if they all had some kind of strange or unusual hobby.

After Jing Tian finished her postpartum confinement, she took the baby to stay with her parents for a while. Chen Mo wasn't worried. Although he missed the baby, they had been video chatting during this time.

The little one has grown up and is now very pretty.

When Jing Tian video-chatted with him, the little guy was lying in his cradle, blowing bubbles and playing. As for Gao Yuanyuan, she was very focused on her pregnancy and the baby, so Chen Mo didn't need to worry about her; she had almost completely stopped working recently.

The remaining two hard-working actresses, Yang Mi and Zhao Liying, are both on set, so there's not much to say about them.

Chen Mo also made arrangements at the company.

Tell them to prepare for their employees to work from home, and to ask the film crews currently shooting to finish their work before the end of the year, with no further arrangements made after the new year.

Although Zhong Lifang and the others were somewhat surprised that Chen Mo took it so seriously, acting as if he were facing a formidable enemy, they still agreed.

After all, if the worst-case scenario predicted by Chen Mo does not occur, then adjustments can be made at any time.

But if it really happens, then being prepared in advance can prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

What Chen Mo didn't expect was that the next day, Zhang Yuqi flew back from abroad and immediately came to find him, carrying a lot of bags and packages.

They seem like they're planning to stay for a long time.

I watched as she started hanging up clothes, shoes, cosmetics, and so on, all by herself.

Chen Mo was both amused and exasperated.

"Are you planning to stay here permanently?" Chen Mo asked.

“Yeah! Didn’t you say it’s better to be prepared? If the worst happens, I’ll be so bored at home all by myself. So I’ve decided that from now on, I’ll go wherever you go! I’ve canceled all my work, so you can’t just abandon me!” Zhang Yuqi said in a matter-of-fact manner.

Actually, she had her own little schemes.

The main reason is that Jing Tian has already given birth, and Gao Yuanyuan is also pregnant.

She was getting a little anxious. Some things are more about inequality than scarcity. She really liked the baby, okay?

Moreover, because of Chen Mo's special circumstances, he will definitely not be able to provide her with a family like that of an ordinary couple in the future, making the child even more important.

Therefore, she did indeed cancel all her work and prepared to cling to Chen Mo. If the thing Chen Mo was worried about didn't happen, it wouldn't be a problem. But if it did happen and they were isolated, wouldn't she be able to have this man all to herself for a while?
She refused to believe it; she studied diligently, worked day and night, and still couldn't get pregnant.

Look, how did Gao Yuanyuan get pregnant? It's all because she was close to Chen Mo, filming together for a while, and eventually she got pregnant.

So, she moved in as soon as she got back!

This time she was determined; she wouldn't give up until someone died!
Chen Mo was naturally unaware of the tiger girls' little scheme, and he had no reason to refuse.

To her surprise, she wasn't the only clever one. Before she had even finished putting away her luggage, Fan Binbin showed up at her door.

And just like her, he was also carrying a lot of bags and packages.

When Zhang Yuqi saw Fan Binbin carrying luggage, her eyes widened, and their gazes met instantly, as if sparks were flying.

"Why are you here too?" Zhang Yuqi blurted out.

"What are you saying? If you can come, why can't I?" Fan Binbin said bluntly.

Chen Mo was dumbfounded. He was usually very careful about this and rarely let them meet.

Moreover, they seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other.

Both Fan Binbin and Zhang Yuqi have rather "strong" personalities.

Well, that's terrible, a comet has hit Earth.

Moreover, the two of them clearly realized that they shared the same idea, which naturally intensified the tension.

"One person, one day!"

"make a deal!"

Their tempers flared up quickly but subsided just as fast.

The main reason is that neither of them are young.

Moreover, since everyone can accept the presence of other women around Chen Mo, continuing to create conflict will not benefit anyone and will only benefit others.

After all, Chen Mo, that big jerk, has more than just the two of them around him.

The main difference is that these two are actually quite different from the others.

Like Jing Tian, ​​it can be said that she and Chen Mo met when they were both unknown, and Zhao Liying was Chen Mo's first woman.

Of Chen Mo's women, these two are arguably the most special.

After all, when they met Chen Mo and got together, none of them were famous and they were all young.

They are different.

Zhang Yuqi has had several relationships and has even been married.

Although Fan Binbin has never been married, he also joined the group midway through his marriage.

From this perspective, they never really thought they could compete with Jing Tian and the others for anything.

What displeased them the most was that Gao Yuanyuan was in the same boat as them, but she had the advantage of being close to the source and got the first prize.

Therefore, the two quickly reached an understanding.

Although Chen Mo claims to be a master of maintaining balance, he is actually not good at handling this kind of relationship.

Especially these two, neither of them are easy to deal with, so he was genuinely afraid they would fight.

Unexpectedly, the two quickly became "best friends"!
They chattered away about how to take care of their skin and how to maintain their figure. It just goes to show that men really can't figure out what women are thinking!

However, Chen Mo was happy that they could coexist peacefully.

Moreover, Chen Mo had never experienced sleeping with two women at the same time before, or truly having two women on his left and right. Seeing the two of them acting like close sisters, his heart suddenly became restless. Was it possible to fulfill his wish?

For the next few days, the two got along peacefully, and they really did take turns spending one day each.

Moreover, the two seemed afraid that someone would follow suit, so they would hide whenever Chen Mo made a video call with other women.

2019 passed and 2020 came.

January 1st, New Year's Day!

"I Am Yu Huanshui" is about to be released.

This web series has been jokingly referred to by many netizens as the "big drama" of 2020!
Although it's just a web series, and a mini-series at that.

However, with the overwhelming and ubiquitous promotion of this web series, those few trailers have almost swept the entire internet recently thanks to Tencent's comprehensive promotion.

It even overshadowed the popularity of several movies released at the end of the year.

Of course, the hype surrounding this drama alone has already generated a lot of anticipation from the audience.

A director with billions in box office revenue is directing his first web series! This is a groundbreaking achievement!
The online drama, which sold for 10 million yuan per episode, also set a new record for the highest transaction volume since the "TV drama winter" in 2019.

In addition, there was a massive publicity campaign and trailers that swept the entire internet.

This made the show the most anticipated web series of the end of 2019, without a doubt!

The number of views for this web series has already exceeded ten million. In fact, since the series started to be promoted and sparked heated discussions, no one has felt that Tencent Video was ripped off by paying such a high price to acquire it.

Based on the buzz and viewership generated by this drama, it's clear that it's destined to become a hit.

As for quality? Chen Mo's name alone is a guarantee, right?

That's right, it's that blind!
As movie fans say, "You can always trust Chen Mo's skill level! The only problem with his work is whether it's good enough or not, it will never be a bad movie!"

This is the brand effect that Chen Mo has accumulated over many years of working in the film and television industry.

Chen Mo's productions are always top-notch, and that's no exaggeration!
Zhao Lei had been looking forward to this drama for a long time. In fact, whenever he encountered something unpleasant, he couldn't help but rewatch the trailers he had seen before.

Although he can't do that in real life, he can still "enjoy" it by watching TV dramas!
It's a pity that the trailer was too short and only flashed by, which was obviously not enough to satisfy him. Because of this, he was even more looking forward to the show.

In fact, this web series offers more than just these benefits.

For example, Zhao Lei wasn't alone waiting for the premiere of this drama tonight; his wife was sitting next to him.

Because there has been a lot of discussion about this recently, and it has even become a trending topic, Zhao Lei's wife has also taken notice of it.

Seeing Yu Huanshui's various crazy antics in the trailer, his wife suddenly became gentle and considerate.

Because people are made of flesh and blood, his wife could also feel the hardships her husband had endured.

Not everyone is like Yu Huanshui's wife in "I Am Yu Huanshui"!
