This director is vindictive.

Chapter 222 So this is Yu Huanshui in an extremely dark state?
"Little Dou Dou, look, it's Daddy!" In the video, Jing Tian is holding the tiny, pink little one who looks like a little milk ball and is waving her chubby little hand at Chen Mo in the video.

Chen Mo's heart melted as he looked at the little one's rosy cheeks. This was his own daughter, his precious little darling!

"Is our little darling usually well-behaved?" Chen Mo asked, looking at the little guy.

"She's so good, isn't she? She's really good. When she wakes up first in the morning, she doesn't cry or fuss. She just lies there and puts her little toes in her mouth and gnaws on them, giggling! She only cries when she's hungry or needs to poop." Jing Tian said proudly, pressing her face against her little baby's.

Looking at Jing Tian, ​​Chen Mo suddenly recalled scenes from the past. That little girl from back then is now a mother.

Looking at the little one, and remembering how she liked to blow bubbles, Chen Mo suddenly brought his face close to the camera, puffed out his cheeks, and made "puff puff" sounding bubbles in front of the lens. Little Dou Dou immediately opened her big, grape-like eyes wide, slapped her chubby little hands, which were covered in drool, on the tablet, and cried out in a babyish "ah-woo" as she tried to grab her father's virtual reflection.

"Oh my little glutton, are you trying to chew on Daddy like a baby bottle?" Jing Tian laughed as she wiped the drool off the tablet. Suddenly, her daughter twisted into a pretzel, her little legs kicking excitedly in the air. It turned out that Chen Mo was using two index fingers to pull the corners of his eyes into comical fox eyes.

As Xiao Dou Dou pouted her cherry-like lips, Chen Mo suddenly magically raised a plush koala doll from behind him: "Look! Daddy stole back some Australian specialties!" The doll's ears happened to sweep across the camera, startling the little baby into letting out a milky burp, then giggling and revealing two tiny baby teeth.

Jing Tian couldn't help but chuckle, tapping her daughter's flushed cheeks: "You little rascal, you were hugging Daddy's shirt as a comfort blanket yesterday." Before she finished speaking, Xiao Dou Dou suddenly opened her arms to the camera and uttered her first clear syllable: "Ba, ba!"

In that instant, Jing Tian was stunned, and Chen Mo was stunned as well.

The little one was only a few months old, and Chen Mo really didn't expect that she would bring him such a surprise.

Then a smile spread across his face.

"Hahaha! Good girl! Say it again!" Chen Mo laughed heartily, encouraging her.

"Ba, ba?" The girl obviously didn't know the meaning of these two syllables, but that didn't stop her from calling out to Chen Mo like that.

"You little ingrate! Your dad hasn't been back for ages, and you're still thinking about him. Your mom's with you every day, and you haven't even called me 'Mom' once," Jing Tian said to the little guy, a little jealous.

"Bah?" The little guy looked at Jing Tian with a confused expression and made another childish sound.

"Hahaha! Good boy!" Chen Mo couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

"Giggle." The little guy saw Chen Mo smile and laughed along with him.

The laughter was so innocent, yet it seemed to heal everything. At that moment, Chen Mo felt incredibly sweet inside! He wished he could fly back immediately to hug and kiss her.

Everyone says he's a doting father, but Chen Mo is completely willing to be one!
This is probably one of the reasons why countless fathers around the world are willing to become doting fathers to their daughters.
"Who does the baby love the most?" Chen Mo teased the little one.

"Ba? Ba?" The little guy, who had just learned this sound, responded subconsciously.

"Hahaha!"

"Come on, let's do it again, baby, who do you like the most?" Chen Mo played this game with his daughter.

The little baby was having a great time. She couldn't understand what Chen Mo was saying, but she knew that whenever she said "ba ba," Chen Mo would laugh happily, and then she would laugh happily along with him.

Jing Tian, ​​who was watching from the side, became increasingly jealous.

"Hmph! You brat, I'm angry! And I can't be coaxed!" Jing Tian pouted.

"Oh no, Mommy's angry, what should I do?" Chen Mo didn't care whether the little one understood or not.

Then, with a quick glance, he hugged the koala plushie and kissed it.

The baby stared wide-eyed.

Chen Mo then said, "Baby, quickly comfort Mommy, like this!"

As he spoke, he hugged the koala plushie and kissed it.

Jing Tian looked at the little guy with some anticipation, but the little guy actually hugged her, gave her a hard kiss on the face, and then clapped his little hands and giggled.

"Wow, my DouDou is so smart!" Chen Mo clapped and praised as well.

However, every time Chen Mo said goodbye, the little guy would make a fuss, so Chen Mo could only continue to stay with him.

The remote interaction didn't end until the little guy gave an adorable yawn.

In fact, this kind of thing has almost become a daily routine for Chen Mo during this period.

He even feels uneasy if he doesn't video chat with his little darling every day.

"Ahhh! The little guy is so cute! I'm so envious!" Yang Mi, who had been secretly watching Chen Mo interact with the little guy for a long time, finally couldn't help but say with some envy and jealousy.

In fact, as time went by, Yang Mi and Jing Tian's relationship was no longer as hostile as it used to be, but that was all.

The two just didn't seem to have the right vibe.

Even after Jing Tian gave birth and became a mother, she remained incredibly charming and innocent.

"You shouldn't run around like this. This trip will take at least a month, and it's not a good thing," Chen Mo said helplessly.

It's a special time right now. Yang Mi is coming over for a bit, but she can't go out for 14 days.

Then it's another 14 days when I go back.

Moreover, she is a public figure, and constantly running around like this does have a negative impact.

The reason she rushed over without regard for anything this time was mainly because she learned that Gao Yuanyuan, Fan Binbin, and Zhang Yuqi were all pregnant, which made her a little anxious.

"Who said I'm only staying for 14 days? This time I'm planning to stay here and not leave!" Yang Mi said irritably.

She was genuinely jealous, and she also had her own ulterior motives.

In the past, it would have been really difficult to stop her from being a workaholic, but now even if she wanted to be a workaholic, the environment wouldn't allow it.

It could be said that this was the perfect time for her to get pregnant.

This is a perfect opportunity for her to have a baby. Once the lockdown is lifted, she can go back to being her workaholic self.

What could Chen Mo do? He could only be his own tool!
Women! They are truly more concerned about inequality than scarcity.

Since the birth of Chen Mo's first child, the "catfish effect" has taken hold, and everyone has started to get anxious.

Of course, another factor is that their age doesn't allow them to delay any longer!

After having his first child, Chen Mo wasn't in such a rush anymore. Of course, if they wanted to have more, he wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, Chen Mo had already entrusted an overseas agent to set up a trust fund for himself, which was mainly established for his children.

The funds all came from his overseas investment returns.

Over the years, the promising stocks that Chen Mo bought back then have begun to perform well, such as Tesla and Nvidia.

In fact, the value of the stocks he has bought over the years has long exceeded the value of his shares in Shengshi Pictures in China.

However, no one knew this, since Chen Mo had invested many years in advance and then barely touched the stocks. He had only bought in and never sold out. He couldn't remember the specific short-term fluctuations of these stocks, but by holding them long-term, they had multiplied many times over.

Of course, even without these things, with his current wealth, they can have as many children as they want, because he can afford to support them all.

Because of the lockdown, Zhao Lei has been working from home recently.

In this respect, IT companies are in a much better position than many other industrial companies.

At least Zhao Lei himself felt that working from home was much more enjoyable than working in the office.

Moreover, "I Am Yu Huanshui" has had a significant impact on him; at least for now, his situation at the company has changed considerably.

Aside from the bald supervisor still frequently bullying him, he's not as submissive towards his colleagues' unreasonable demands as he used to be, which has actually given him a lot more free time.

Of course, there are also worries.

That's my in-laws' side, because my brother-in-law works in a manufacturing company, and he's in sales.

The business was doing quite well and the income was considerable, but now it has taken a sharp turn for the worse. Although the company has not fired anyone, those in sales are basically useless. Without commissions, they can only receive a base salary, and suddenly they are struggling financially.

Although his wife wasn't Voldemort, his parents-in-law often asked her for help with this matter.

To be honest, he was quite satisfied with his wife, but his in-laws were never very satisfied with him. Frankly speaking, it all came down to money.

This also led to the fact that every time he accompanied his wife back to her parents' home, he would return with a belly full of anger.

Working from home gives you more free time.

After finishing his work, he opened his phone and started watching videos.

"The Hidden Corner - Director Chen Mo's latest masterpiece!"

The pop-up ad recommendation immediately caught his eye.

"Chen Mo has a new work again? That's pretty fast! I wonder what the theme is this time." Zhao Lei was naturally familiar with Chen Mo.

He clicked on it very quickly.

Chen Mo's works naturally receive top-tier treatment on Tencent Video. After all, the series was acquired at a great cost, so the promotion is naturally given full attention.

Homepage banners, pop-up ads, and so on—it can be said that the campaign was launched across all channels of Tencent.

Zhao Lei was a little confused right from the start of the trailer.

Because the opening scene was an animation, featuring three little chicks?
One day, the fox on the farm was going to have a birthday party and invited three chicks to attend!

The scene then shifts to an aerial view of a modern city.

Three children appeared in the frame, and a man with a shoulder bag stood there smiling and said to the three children, "We meet again!"

Zhao Lei immediately understood the metaphor of the three chicks and the fox.

My curiosity was instantly piqued.

"The three little chicks are arguing about whether or not they can visit the fox's house!" The scene returns to the animated cartoon on television.

"That's what the second chicken said."
In the video, the boy says, "Let's call the police!"

The girl kicked the boy's foot.

"That's what the third chicken said."
The scene shifts to the girl among the three children saying, "Go write him a warning letter!"

"That's what the eldest chicken said."
The scene shifts again, and the eldest child among the three says, "Are you afraid I can't beat him?"

The boy drew a portrait of a man wearing glasses on the wall with chalk.

The portrait gradually transformed into Zhang Dongsheng, the bespectacled man who had greeted the three children earlier.

However, unlike his previous amiable demeanor, at this moment, this fox—no, I mean Zhang Dongsheng—didn't seem as friendly as before.

It gives people a gloomy feeling.

"The last three chicks went to the fox's house!"

In the video, three children arrive at the home of the man with glasses.

"Come in!" he said, opening the door.

"As soon as they came in, the fox closed the door! He ate all three chicks, leaving only a pile of bones!"

The scene then turned into an animated cartoon, with three chicks entering the fox's house, and the fox spitting out a pile of chicken bones.

Is this story true?

"The Hidden Corner will premiere exclusively on Tencent Video on March 15th at 8:00 PM!"

Zhao Lei was completely distraught after seeing the whole thing.

Holy crap, this is terrifying! How did those three boys offend that man?

So what exactly happened? Did they call the police? Or issue a warning?
And why would you visit someone else's home?

And a fox ate three chicks and spat out a bunch of chicken bones, are you serious?

The metaphor is very simple, but it's chilling to hear and see, okay?
It's all so confusing and baffling that it leaves you completely bewildered, yet you can't help but wonder and speculate about what exactly happened.

You might say this trailer has no content, but it actually does; the trailer tells a rather dark fairy tale.

The story of the three little chicks and the fox.

But ironically, they didn't reveal much.

What exactly is the connection between the three children and this man? What happened? The trailer mentions the key word: call the police!

What could have required calling the police? And why did they go to his house? What was the final outcome?

The trailer ends with the question: "Is this story true?"

Yeah! Is it even true?
Zhao Lei was momentarily driven to the brink of madness.

Meanwhile, countless netizens, like Zhao Lei, were driven to the brink of madness by a single trailer.

"Holy crap, this trailer is giving me the creeps, but I have absolutely no idea what I'm watching?"

"I hate riddle tellers the most, Chen Mo, you really deserve to die! You only released so little information, it's infuriating!"

"No, what really happened? Were the three children really eaten by the fox like three little chicks?"

"What a rip-off! I was terrified after watching the trailer, but after thinking about it carefully, I'm still a bit confused. What is it all about?"

"Could they really be eating people?"

"Are you an idiot upstairs? Don't you understand metaphors? And you're talking about cannibalism? If it were really cannibalism, this show would be over, okay?"

"The fox eats the chicks and spits out the bones, that makes perfect sense!"

This trailer drew criticism from many netizens, but ironically, everyone understood its obvious metaphor.

It's a story about three children and one adult!
But they didn't reveal anything about what it was.

However, the hype was successfully generated, with the trailer garnering over a million views in less than half a day, and that number is still rapidly increasing.

Soon after, the second trailer was released.

Because the first trailer left viewers with suspense and hooks, the second trailer immediately attracted a lot of attention from fans after its release.

Chen Mo also put a lot of effort into creating the second trailer.

The main reason was to collaborate with the TV series "I Am Yu Huanshui".

Actually, "I Am Yu Huanshui" and "The Hidden Corner" could really be linked together.

Because the main characters are all middle-aged men, and they are all experiencing a midlife crisis.

The only difference is that they took different paths.

Zhao Lei also immediately clicked on the second trailer to watch it.

Unlike the first trailer, the protagonist of this second trailer is Zhang Dongsheng.

The scene is at a dining table.

"Dongsheng, how many years have you been in Ningzhou?"

"Eight years!"

"How is work?"

"A man's career is very important!"

"A man without ambition is not a man!"

In the scene, Zhang Dongsheng has a helpless smile, while the expressions of the others are all very strange.

When Zhao Lei saw this scene, he immediately had a sense of déjà vu.

Yes, that's exactly the feeling he had when he went to his in-laws' house for dinner!

Screen switching.

Zhang Dongsheng said to his wife, "There is no one in this world who treats you better than me! I have nothing left but you! As long as you don't leave me, I can accept anything!"

"I don't love you anymore, can you accept that?"

The screen switches again.

Zhang Dongsheng asked, "Dad, do you think I still have a chance?"

Then, the next moment.

My father-in-law and mother-in-law fell off the cliff!
Zhang Dongsheng lay there shouting, "Dad, Mom!"

"Holy crap!" Zhao Lei's eyes widened instantly.

Although the trailer doesn't explicitly state that Zhang Dongsheng killed his father-in-law and mother-in-law, the metaphor is damn obvious.

But it's not over yet.

The next scene shows the discovery of Zhang Dongsheng's wife's body, followed by Zhang Dongsheng weeping in grief.

"The Hidden Corner will premiere exclusively on Tencent Video on March 15th at 8:00 PM!"

Zhao Lei was stunned! No, he swore, although, perhaps, it seemed, he also had a sense of déjà vu about the scene of Zhang Dongsheng being ridiculed, but, brother, it can't be that bad, it really can't be that bad!

After the second trailer was released, the level of discussion skyrocketed.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! Why do I feel like 'The Hidden Corner' is another version of 'I Am Yu Huanshui'?"

"It really is true! Both of them are experiencing setbacks in middle age, but Yu Huanshui took one path, while Zhang Dongsheng took a completely different one!"

"No, it doesn't seem like they said he killed his parents-in-law, right? Besides, it's unlikely, isn't it?"

"Does that even need to be said? This is absolutely ruthless! He just killed someone because he was mocked. Holy crap, that's brutal, really brutal!"

"He not only killed his parents-in-law, but also his wife! If Yu Huanshui is that ruthless, tsk tsk!"

"So the question is, what does this have to do with those three children?"

"Isn't it obvious? They must have been discovered while committing the murder!"

"Yes, otherwise they wouldn't have mentioned calling the police, but if they were discovered, why didn't they call the police?"

The topic quickly gained popularity.

Of course, this is also largely due to the popularity of the previous drama "I Am Yu Huanshui".

If "I Am Yu Huanshui" resonates with readers and shows them their own experiences, then...

Therefore, Zhang Dongsheng is undoubtedly a completely corrupted version of Yu Huanshui!
