This director is vindictive.

Chapter 257 This man is wholesaling wedding experience vouchers on trending topics.

The controversy surrounding Jing Tian's hit-and-run incident and subsequent extortion has not yet completely died down.

However, no one expected that a photo would soon thrust her and Chen Mo into the spotlight again.

Because that photo shows Jing Tian wearing a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, smiling radiantly, standing next to Chen Mo, who is also wearing an ancient groom's suit.

It's safe to say that if this photo were released, even a fool could see that it's a wedding photo!

The photos caused a huge uproar online as soon as they were released.

Many netizens' first reaction was to express doubt about the authenticity of the photos, and they left numerous comments:

"Is this photo photoshopped? How could Jing Tian and Chen Mo suddenly take wedding photos?"

"Just a few days ago there were reports of a hit-and-run incident, and now they've jumped straight to a wedding? This is too surreal!"

"That's too outrageous! Impossible, absolutely impossible! I just don't believe it! If Chen Mo really marries Jing Tian, ​​wouldn't his image completely collapse?"

"What the heck is this about a persona collapsing? Is it the collapse of the 'scumbag' persona?"

"No problem. If Chen Mo really marries Jing Tian, ​​what about the others? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Is this fake? The hit-and-run incident isn't over yet, and they're suddenly releasing wedding photos? Could it be a PR stunt?"

"It must be Chen Mo's new drama, right? Otherwise, this is too sudden."

Major entertainment accounts quickly reposted the photos, and the hashtag #JingTianChenMoWeddingPhotos# trended on social media within half an hour, with tens of thousands of comments flooding the comments section and causing the server to crash at one point.

Within just a few hours, the chain reaction triggered by this photo reached an unbelievable level.

The hashtag #JingTianChenMoWeddingPhotos# immediately topped the trending search list.

The other parties involved were also tagged by netizens who inquired about their attitudes.

Of course, the main focus of the criticism was on Chen Mo and Jing Tian. After all, the fact that the two of them had not responded to the sudden release of such photos was itself suspicious.

Meanwhile, many so-called professionals have also tried to prove the authenticity of the photos from various angles.

"Having worked in image processing for many years, this photo undoubtedly shows no signs of Photoshop manipulation; it's absolutely genuine!"

"There are no signs of Photoshop editing, but this photo is most likely a still from a movie!"

"This marketing genius even uses his own wedding photos for marketing and hype, but I have to say, this is really something!"

Chen Mo's romantic escapades can be considered a peculiar phenomenon in the entertainment industry, because most people would rather hide them than not, and most of the time he only has one rumored girlfriend at a time. If he has another one, he will be criticized as two-timing and a scumbag.

But Chen Mo is truly the biggest oddball in the entertainment industry.

His first public revelation of his relationships with these women was truly earth-shattering.

He simply and crudely made his wealth public by giving away hundreds of millions of shares, but ironically, because of those shares, which were worth a few hundred million, this scumbag not only didn't fall from grace, but also became the subject of much discussion.

Therefore, Chen Mo's "model of a scumbag" persona can be said to be the most unique existence in the entertainment industry.

After all, "scumbag" is definitely a derogatory term, but in Chen Mo's case, because of his close relationship with others and his different social status, he did not collapse because of it.

It can be said to be deeply rooted.

It's no wonder that netizens were initially incredulous and thought it was impossible after seeing the photos.

The main point is that Chen Mo has practically declared that he has no chance of marriage in this lifetime, so wedding photos and such are definitely not going to be related to marriage.

However, the timing of this photo's release is rather strange.

There's been absolutely no word about Chen Mo's new drama, which is rather illogical.

But when it comes to the claim that Chen Mo and Jing Tian are getting married, no one believes it to be true.

That's why it sparked such a huge controversy.

This was indeed Chen Mo's doing. Anyway, he didn't intend to hide it. In fact, it was a publicity stunt for Huayun Clothing's newly launched wedding dress series, so naturally, the higher the popularity, the better.

Soon after, the official Huayun brand released an announcement.

"Regarding the recent rumors about Chen Mo and Jing Tian's wedding photos, we can assure you that the photos are real! They are indeed Chen Mo and Jing Tian's wedding photos!"
However, this does not mean that Jing Tian and Chen Mo are about to get married. Rather, it is a promotional photo of our company's upcoming "Phoenix Brings Auspiciousness" themed classical wedding attire!
In the future, our company will continue to launch other wedding attire series, currently planned to be six series!
@Jingtian and @Chenmo are the brand ambassadors for the "Fengyi Chengxiang" wedding attire series, and their wedding photos are also used as promotional photos for the brand.

The "Phoenix Brings Auspiciousness" series of wedding attire will also feature Chen Mo and Jing Tian as spokespeople, who will be filming a series of promotional videos for ancient wedding ceremonies. The aim is to promote traditional Chinese wedding culture. Stay tuned!

The official statement from Huayun brand did not diminish the heat of this topic; on the contrary, it seems to be escalating.

The main point is that although this statement is short, it is absolutely packed with valuable information.

Moreover, many things in it are worth examining!
After all, everyone knows that Chen Mo is the founder and owner of Huayun, the number one brand of traditional Chinese style!
Moreover, the brand was born from the drama "My Love from the Star," in which Chen Mo and Jing Tian first played a couple!

At first, everyone's reaction was actually quite normal.

Or perhaps they didn't immediately discover the special content contained in this statement.

"The truth is out! Just as I guessed, Chen Mo wouldn't let his scumbag persona collapse! *doge emoji*"

"Oh, it's just a promotional photo! But this promotional campaign was absolutely amazing!"

"I guess only brands under Chen Mo's own control would allow him to be a spokesperson?"

"I'm a bit disappointed. I've been following this story for so long, and this is all it turns out to be? Thumbs down!"

However, a blind student soon discovered the key point!
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap, this statement is just too obviously suspicious!"

"You guys think about it, you really think about it carefully, this statement is really interesting!"

"No, stop playing games upstairs! I've looked at it several times and I still can't find anything wrong!"

Soon, netizens came out to "decipher" it!
"First, it's worth noting that the Huayun brand was created by Chen Mo. Second, why is he the spokesperson for the 'Wedding Attire' series? Finally, why are there six series?"

As we all know, Chen Mo is not just a celebrity or director; he is also a tycoon with a net worth of hundreds of billions. Therefore, since he became a director, he has basically not endorsed any products.

not a single one!

It's not that people don't want to invite Chen Mo, but rather that Chen Mo is unlikely to endorse any products.

But this time, he and Jing Tian actually became spokespeople for Huayun Clothing together.

As we all know, Huayun Apparel relies on Chen Mo's connections in the entertainment industry and his consistently accurate vision, so Huayun Apparel is present in almost every popular period drama.

The spokespeople are usually the leading actresses or actors from the period dramas they sponsor.

So why is this an exception?
Secondly, the statement mentions six series!

Why six instead of five or seven? Is it just to get everyone to shout "666"? Obviously not!
Question 1: How many female confidantes does Chen Mo have? Answer: 6!

Question 2: How many items are in the Huayun Wedding Attire series? Answer: 6!

Think about it carefully. Is it really just a coincidence? I, for one, don't believe it!
So why do this? I think that's the question everyone's most interested in!
After thinking about it carefully, I suddenly couldn't help but want to give Chen Mo a thumbs up! He truly deserves to be called a marketing genius and the number one scumbag in the entertainment industry!
Chen Mo truly embodies the saying that a man can be charming without being vulgar!
Let me explain in detail!
Chen Mo's affair with six female confidantes is practically common knowledge. Although he hasn't publicly admitted it, those in the know understand! After all, they even have a child together!
Therefore, it is clearly impossible for him to marry anyone!
Pay attention!

It's impossible for me to marry and register my marriage with anyone!

As we all know, there was the incident a while ago where six rings summoned a dragon!

Why bring this up? Because in today's society, rings symbolize "responsibility," "marriage," and "commitment"!
Exchanging wedding rings has almost become an essential part of a wedding ceremony.

To tell whether someone is married, just look at whether they are wearing a wedding ring on their ring finger!

Although Chen Mo and his female confidantes exchanged rings, was the ceremony complete? Obviously not!

So, Chen Mo came up with the idea of ​​giving his female confidantes a wedding ceremony! But openly holding a "wedding" would obviously have a bad influence! After all, what wedding has six brides at once? Therefore, he came up with a brilliant idea: to hold the wedding legitimately and without any scruples under the guise of publicity!
See, six series, each endorsed by a different female celebrity, that makes perfect sense, right?
Everything seems to be going smoothly!
At least on the surface, it makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

The most wonderful thing is that he can arrange all sorts of unique weddings for his close female friends!
Which girl doesn't dream of a wedding that she'll never forget and that everyone will envy?
Chen Mo is truly romantic to the extreme in this respect!

The above is my personal analysis and speculation based on Huayun Apparel's statement and Chen Mo's situation, and it represents the most likely truth.

This netizen's interpretation has caused quite a stir!

"Holy crap! This is terrifying! I thought it was surreal enough, but the reality is even more surreal than I imagined!"

"Chen Mo, what a real man! Although he couldn't give her a complete marriage, the way he did it, apart from the certificate, it's practically flawless!"

"I was wondering why that statement seemed a bit strange, now I understand! That makes perfect sense!"

"As a woman, all I want to say is, where can you find a man like Chen Mo? I don't mind that he's a scumbag!"

"Although I hated Chen Mo before because he was a real scumbag, even if he was obviously a scumbag, even if he was arrogant and unapproachable, this time I suddenly felt that this man was really different!"

For a man to do all this for his woman, it's incredibly romantic, the epitome of romance!

At the same time, Huayun launched its first round of promotion.

It's a section introducing the design concept of the "Phoenix Brings Auspiciousness" series of wedding dresses and the details of Jing Tian's initial dress.

Because the incident itself had already sparked heated discussions across the internet, the video attracted the attention of countless people as soon as it was released.

After watching it, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Unbelievable! As expected of you, Chen Mo, you're as generous as ever. This wedding dress alone must be worth millions!"

"I've learned something new. I never understood what the phoenix coronet and embroidered robe meant. I never imagined there were so many intricacies involved. The treatment of the empress is indeed different!"

"There are so many rich people, but Chen Mo is so rich and willing to put in the effort. He is truly one in a million. And a man like him who is rich, handsome, talented, and willing to put in so much effort for his woman is like something out of a movie."

I'm so envious, jealous, and resentful!

"After doing some research on the weddings of sons of officials in ancient times, I suddenly realized that there's a reason why they could have six scoundrels and still have them devoted to them!"

"Scumbags, take note!"

However, many men felt a mixture of envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Chen Mo, and were also seething with hatred.

"Damn it, you scumbag! It's one thing to be a scumbag, but to go and play the romance card is just ridiculous! If you play like this, how are all the men supposed to find girlfriends and get married? Who can compare to that?"

Although Huayun Apparel's official statement clarified the purpose of the wedding photos, it was like pouring water on boiling oil, causing an even fiercer public outcry.

The next day, #ChenMo'sSixWeddings# became a trending topic!
Netizens spontaneously dug up details: In Jing Tian's "Auspicious Phoenix" photo, the pattern on her wedding dress contained a hidden secret - six bright pearls were adorning the tips of the phoenix wings.

The comment section was instantly filled with "The six palaces are stable now" and "The empress is showing off her power".

This wave of online buzz is quite significant. Although most netizens are praising Chen Mo for being responsible, he has taken being a scumbag to a whole new level.

However, it still attracted controversy.

Soon, the media also joined in.

Entertainment Weekly's front page featured an interpretation by a folklore expert: "The phoenix coronet and embroidered robe have always symbolized the status of the principal wife. Chen Mo's actions are actually using business as a pretext to practice 'secondary wife' status, which is a provocation against the Marriage Law!"

"Provoke you my foot! You're just a bunch of sour grapes. If you had Chen Mo's wealth, you'd be living the high life!"

"It's just wishful thinking and speculation. Chen Mo is just doing business, okay?"

"These so-called experts even say that drinking mung bean soup can cure all diseases!"

"I hate these so-called experts! They're everywhere!"

Some lawyer bloggers who wanted to capitalize on the trend even focused on popularizing the definition of bigamy.

Anyway, they were practically calling out Chen Mo by name in a subtle way.

However, the netizens' reaction was beyond their expectations.

"They haven't even registered their marriage yet, why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you learn how to create this kind of romance for your girlfriend?"

"Heh, Chen Mo is just doing commercial promotion, okay? If we follow these so-called experts' interpretations, wouldn't that be forcing him to change his nationality?"

"I'm on Chen Mo's side this time! Seriously though, he's just doing some brand promotion (doge emoji)!"

This wave of public opinion has surprised many people.

Chen Sicheng actually liked the Weibo post from Huayun brand clothing immediately and commented, "6!"

What was unexpected was that Chen Sicheng's actions were just the beginning.

Soon enough, Jackie Chan also liked the post and left the same comment: "6!"

It's understandable that these two people liked this post. After all, compared to Chen Mo, Chen Sicheng could be said to have always wanted to be a scumbag, but unfortunately, he got married first and then became a scumbag, which makes it difficult for his reputation to improve.

And Jackie Chan, needless to say, is the most flamboyant person in the entertainment industry.

However, Liu Yifei, Hu Ge, and even good-natured men like Huang Bo and Ning Hao, all of Chen Mo's friends in the industry, actually liked the post and left comments like, "6!"

Surprisingly, many female celebrities also secretly liked the post.

This behavior has left netizens somewhat puzzled.

Then they all started making fun of each other.

"@Liu Yifei, what's the meaning of your like? Do you want to be that seventh one? No way! That bastard Chen Mo has already taken up so many resources, you'd be better off staying single!"

"@HuGe, Lao Hu, are you drunk?"

"@Huang Bo, what are you doing here!"

Soon after, social commentators and influential Weibo users offered their interpretations of the incident, pointing out that although Chen Mo's actions were morally reprehensible, netizens generally sided with him.

"First of all, the reason for this result is not hard to understand, but it is not universal."

Because Chen Mo never relied solely on "scumbag" behavior to attract attention, but rather on his billions in assets, business acumen, resource integration capabilities, and talent.

Through Huayun Apparel's "Wedding Attire Series" marketing, he cleverly combined personal feelings with brand promotion, satisfying his confidante's need for a sense of ritual while also enhancing the brand's value. Netizens believe that this blatantly scummy behavior, which delivers tangible benefits, is far superior to hypocritical concealment.

At the same time, in this era, marital scandals in the entertainment industry are commonplace. It can be said that showing affection today and then having it fall apart tomorrow has almost become the norm in the entertainment industry.

Those celebrities who cultivated a deeply affectionate persona ended up crashing and burning out faster than anything else.

On the other hand, although Chen Mo is a scumbag, his relationship with those people has only deepened over the years, and there is almost no possibility of things going wrong.

This presents a stark contrast.

Secondly, there is the compensation logic of "romance to the extreme".

Netizens interpreted Chen Mo's use of the "six wedding attire series" as a disguised way of holding weddings for six close female friends. Although there was no legal marriage, the lack of formality was compensated for by lavish custom-made items (such as Jing Tian's million-dollar phoenix coronet and embroidered robe) and public ceremonies. This extreme romance of "giving everything except a marriage certificate" resonated with many people's fantasies of "dual satisfaction of material and emotional fulfillment."

Uniqueness and consistency in character design!
Chen Mo never cultivated a "devoted lover" persona; instead, he became known as a "model of scumbags in the entertainment industry," further reinforcing his "honest scumbag" image through actions such as publicly disclosing his shares. Netizens believe that his "no double standards" and "no deception" attitude is more commendable than that of a hypocrite, even creating a public opinion trend that "frank scumbag behavior is righteous."

In summary, it's essentially a comparison effect and a psychology of admiring the strong.

The anger of ordinary male netizens ("How are we supposed to live if he's so arrogant?") actually reinforces the fact that Chen Mo is not replicable. Many more people, driven by a desire to emulate the strong, see him as a "model of a winner in life," even joking, "We criticize him because we can't be like him."

The support from netizens is essentially a compromise with the triple halo of "capital + romance + candor." Chen Mo successfully dispelled moral criticism and created a unique image as the "ceiling of scumbags" by transforming controversy into commercial value and emotional narrative.
