This director is vindictive.

Chapter 318: The perks can wait, but we have to eat this juicy gossip right away!
You could say it's one thing for netizens to egg you on.

My little rich girl has always been the well-behaved type, but now she's turned into such a cunning person.

Chen Mo is having a really tough time!
“That’s right, there’s strength in numbers. We can each help you distribute some, so you won’t have to work so hard!” Zhao Liying even chimed in, seemingly eager to stir up trouble.

The key point is that the comments section, where onlookers are already flooded with them.

"No problem, collect all seven Dragon Balls to summon Shenron!"

"Yeah, the perks Chen Mo gives out, even the same ones, suddenly don't seem so appealing anymore. We want your women to give them out!"

"As a ten-year veteran of this trend, I definitely think it's better if Sister Binbin comes up here and gives out the perks directly!"

"Actually, it doesn't matter who provides the benefits; we mainly want to hear their stories!"

"For example? It's said that Yang Mi and Jing Tian have never gotten along. So the question is, why is that?"

Chen Mo looked at the barrage of comments and the two smiling but murderous women beside him, then shrugged. He wasn't really that concerned.

This time, I originally planned to invite several of my close female friends.

Too high-profile? Not at all.

Sometimes, being high-profile isn't about showing off your love and getting hurt quickly; it can also be a form of protection.

Just like Chen Mo, who is now so famous and known all over the world, even if someone wants to mess with him, they have to think twice about whether they can bear the consequences.

At the same time, this live broadcast can be considered a complete success, and Chen Mo will not need to work so hard in the future.

With the ability to reach hundreds of millions of viewers at once, it's safe to say that as soon as Chen Mo releases the news, domestic celebrities will be scrambling to get their hands on him!

This is practically a stage comparable to the Spring Festival Gala!
This is also a resource, and a top-tier, highest-quality one at that. In the future, using it for exchange could further enhance Chen Mo's influence in the industry.

Didn't the old man say that you should make lots of friends? Look, here they are!
"Alright, since you all think so too, then come out! It's time for you to give out the remaining perks!"

As Chen Mo finished speaking, the live stream screen instantly transformed into the ink painting style of Gu Se Group.

The first to appear was Yang Mi, the big secret.

She wore a bright red embroidered plum blossom pattern Qixiong Ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with silver thread outlining the branches of plum blossoms braving the snow at the front, and the skirt layered like blooming red plum blossoms.

Her hair was styled in a high bun in the style of the Tang Dynasty, with a gilded plum blossom hairpin inserted diagonally, swaying gracefully with her steps. The red agate pendant hanging from her ear complemented the color of her lips.

The camera focused on her hidden cuffs, revealing the embroidered lines from the poem "To the Tune of Bu Suanzi: Ode to the Plum Blossom" on the inner lining as she raised her hand: "When the mountain flowers are in full bloom, she smiles amidst them!"

On the live chat, Yang Mi's fans instantly flooded the screen with the phrase "cultural honey".

"Holy crap, Big Secret looks absolutely gorgeous in that outfit!"

"Chen Mo, you really deserve to die!"

"Yes, Chen Mo, you really deserve to die! You're so envious, jealous, and hateful!"

However, before everyone could react, the second national goddess, Gao Yuanyuan, appeared.

A moon-white, double-breasted long gown paired with a light purple gradient horse-face skirt, the orchid pattern on the fabric is made using Suzhou embroidery techniques, making it look like an orchid floating in the mist in a secluded valley from afar.

Her hair was adorned only with a single blue magnolia hairpin, and a glass necklace in the shape of orchids hung around her neck. Her overall appearance was simple and elegant, but the gilded sachet hanging at her waist gave off a subtle fragrance.

As she turned around, a shimmering light swept across her skirt, and netizens discovered that the lining of the skirt was embroidered with an excerpt from the "Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion" titled "A Gathering of Worthies"!
If Yang Mi's appearance was stunning, then Gao Yuanyuan's appearance took that stunningness to a whole new level.

As the saying goes, "A single flower does not make a spring, but a hundred flowers blooming together make a garden full of spring."

Yang Mi's Hanfu clearly features the theme of "plum blossoms," while Gao Yuanyuan's Hanfu features the theme of "orchids."
When combined with those well-known ancient Chinese poems and prose, it can be said that one can truly wear the spirit of literati and the traditional culture of China on their body.

It's worth noting that this live stream has now attracted nearly 500 million viewers in China and over 200 million viewers overseas.

This is clearly another instance of Chen Mo promoting Hanfu culture and Chinese culture.

Fan Binbin followed suit, and her theme was "bamboo"!
The dark green, wide-sleeved, cross-collared robe is embroidered with a scene of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove drinking in the Bamboo Grove in gold thread. As the wearer walks, the bamboo shadows sway as if they were alive.

Her high ponytail was tied with a jade crown with bamboo joint patterns, and two strands of "dragon whisker bangs" hung down in front of her forehead. Her earrings were miniature bamboo slips carved from jade, engraved with the famous line from the poem "Bamboo and Rock": "Though battered and bruised, it remains firm and strong."

The most amazing thing is that he is holding an oil-paper umbrella with Zheng Banqiao's ink bamboo painted on the surface!
The comments section immediately sparked the idea: "Was Wu Zetian holding the umbrella to treat the 'Knife-Stabbing Cult' like bamboo shoots?"

Zhang Yuqi was the last to appear, and her "Chrysanthemum" completed the set of the Four Gentlemen: plum blossom, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum.

A pale yellow stand-up collar jacket with a diagonal front paired with an orange-red pleated skirt sprinkled with gold. The skirt is embroidered with scenes of chrysanthemum appreciation banquets during the Double Ninth Festival, and when she lifts her leg, the blooming chrysanthemum patterns on her boots are revealed.

Her hair was styled in a crooked bun, adorned with gilded chrysanthemum hair ornaments, and a matching floral ornament on her forehead. The bronze compass hanging at her waist (a replica of a prop from the movie "Candle in the Tomb") was engraved with Tao Yuanming's poem "Drinking Wine".

Netizens noticed a tomb raiding talisman necklace peeking out from under her Hanfu, and the comments section erupted in laughter: "Is Sister Yuqi wearing Hanfu to raid tombs?"

"No problem, Shirley Yang wearing Hanfu to raid tombs, hahaha!"

Finally, the four appeared simultaneously from behind four screens in the live stream room. The plum blossom's vibrancy, the orchid's elegance, the bamboo's pride, and the chrysanthemum's graceful bearing perfectly formed a dynamic "Four Gentlemen" painting. The background music was a variation of "My Love from the Star," and the live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments.

The phrases "Chinese pop culture craze" and "Four beauties of Hanfu online" were overwhelming. Even more amazing was that after they stood still, the stage floor screen projected ink-wash animations of poems corresponding to their respective flowers—Chen Mo had already taken cultural Easter eggs to the extreme.

The live chat exploded very quickly.

"Chen Mo's combination of the Four Gentlemen with poetry and ink-wash animation is simply a walking textbook of traditional Chinese style! The plum blossom's 'Bu Suanzi', the orchid's 'Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion', the bamboo's 'Bamboo and Rock', and the chrysanthemum's 'Drinking Wine'—every detail pays homage to the classics!"

"Who designed these four Hanfu sets? I want to see the same designs! The Suzhou embroidery of orchids and the gold thread depicting the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove are definitely at the level of intangible cultural heritage!"

"As we all know, there have always been rumors that Yang Mi and Jing Tian don't get along. So here's the question: is the embroidered 'She smiles amidst the bushes' on the cuff of the big secret a hint at someone? [doge emoji]"

"With a bamboo-patterned umbrella and dragon-whisker bangs, is Sister Binbin going to 'lightly outrun a horse with a bamboo staff and straw sandals' to help Chen Mo get revenge?"

"With plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums all gathered, Chen Mo's 'harem' can summon a dragon now, right?"

"Six beauties in one frame, and I actually found a strange yuri (lesbian) storyline? For example, the 'red and white rose' showdown between Mi Yuan (Yang Mi x Gao Yuanyuan)!"

This scene also drew gasps of amazement from netizens overseas.

Japanese netizen: "The Four Gentlemen of China (Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum) are moving and ink painting, and the costumes are beautiful!" ("The dynamic ink animation is combined with the Four Gentlemen, and the costume design is so shocking!")
Western audiences exclaimed: "The poetry animations beneath their feet? That's next-level cultural storytelling!"
Southeast Asian fans: "Please replay the live stream! I want to study Zhang Yuqi's chrysanthemum-patterned pleated skirt; it seems to resonate with our traditional embroidery!"

International netizens commented: "Chen Mo's team has redefined 'modern Hanfu,' this is a walking museum!"

"My God, China truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient civilization with five thousand years of culture. These outfits are even more stunning than those from Paris Fashion Week!"

Each of them has their own unique characteristics.

Yang Mi's glamorousness, Gao Yuanyuan's elegance, Fan Binbin's aloofness, and Zhang Yuqi's coolness were all vividly displayed through the combination of their personalities and clothing.

They even stole the spotlight from Jing Tian and Zhao Liying.

However, as six stunningly beautiful top actresses from the entertainment industry gathered together, the viewers in the live stream suddenly realized what was going on.

They were initially stunned and amazed by the Hanfu featuring plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums, but now that they've come to their senses, they all reveal the malicious smiles of onlookers.

"This isn't just a chaotic battlefield anymore, it's the live-action version of Chen Mo's 'Red Beauty Mayhem'! Why am I so excited?"

"I suggest starting a special episode of 'Chen Mo's Harem: The Battle for Welfare' right away. I would call it the strongest variety show in the live streaming industry!"

"I suggest turning it into a 24-hour live stream! I want to see the palace intrigue side story of Sister Mi's 'She Smiles Amidst the Crowd' vs. Jing Tian's 'I Insist on Standing Out Alone'!"

"Is Binbin's bamboo umbrella a weapon? Is the next scene going to be a smack on Chen Mo's head: 'Serves you right for flirting everywhere!'"

"Gao Yuanyuan's skirt is embroidered with 'Distinguished Guests Gather'? Hilarious! Is she implying that the other guests should 'quickly leave'?"

"Zhang Yuqi's tomb raiding charm has been revealed! She probably wants to bury Chen Mo tonight: 'Men affect my speed of drawing my sword.'"

Chen Mo's "romantic affairs" are not unfamiliar to overseas netizens. After all, there was a case last year where a Saudi tycoon offered to send girls to him.

Therefore, even overseas netizens are gloating over this situation.

Japanese netizens: "Even more tragic than a Shura field, Chen Mo's actions are 'the business of an emperor'!"

American netizens: "Isn't this even more exciting than Game of Thrones? I'm also really curious about their story!"

European netizens commented: "I struggle to handle two girlfriends at the same time, Chen Mo is truly amazing!"

The style of the comments changed again very quickly.

"So everyone, please tell us your stories! We love to hear them!"

"Yes, tell us your story, like when it started?"

Tell us your stories! *1000
Chen Mo was speechless: "No, how about we just give out some perks instead?" "Perks aren't urgent. Look, the netizens all want to hear the story!" Jing Tian seemed like a completely different person today.

Chen Mo felt like he didn't even recognize him anymore.

Where did my obedient, innocent, well-behaved, and sensible little rich girl go?

“Let me start. When Tian Tian and I first ‘met,’ I remember she shared her favorite cucumber-flavored potato chips with Chen Mo, and then she asked me if I wanted to eat them. Of course I said yes! Guess what happened?” Zhao Liying couldn’t help but laugh.

"Don't say it!" Jing Tian quickly covered Zhao Liying's mouth.

Everyone else looked on with curiosity, mainly because Jing Tian had done a lot of really bizarre things in the past.

However, no one really knew about her relationship with Zhao Liying.

Meanwhile, netizens who were watching the drama were all extremely curious.

"Haha, she actually looked like she was trying to cover it up and said to me, 'Huh? It's gone!' But I saw it all!" Zhao Liying still finds it funny when she thinks about it.

Jing Tian blushed with embarrassment and stamped her foot, saying, "Well, it was because there was only one piece left! And Chen Mo was watching, so I had to keep a low profile!"

"Hehe, is there really only one piece left? Hehe!" Zhao Liying said, as if she was too embarrassed to call her out.

Yang Mi immediately chimed in, adding insult to injury: "I can vouch for that. She did the same thing to me. She just tore open a packet, fed Chen Mo a piece, and then when I came in, she said there weren't any left!"

Her words caused an immediate uproar in the live stream chat. The comments section exploded with activity:
"Got it! The little rich girl's 'reserve' equals 'protecting her food in front of Chen Mo's face'!"

"A bloodbath caused by cucumber-flavored potato chips! Hahaha, this is Jing Tian's style. My potato chips, my rules. If I say no, I don't have them, and if I say no, I don't have them either!"

"An archaeological report on how top female celebrities fell out over potato chips has become a trending topic!"

"Wow, I don't know why, but I suddenly have a craving for cucumber-flavored potato chips!"

Seeing the young rich woman blushing deeply, Chen Mo quickly changed the subject.

"Alright, since we're on the topic of potato chips, Tian Tian, ​​why don't you give away a potato chip gift pack to everyone? It's a Lay's potato chip gift pack, the perfect snack for watching movies and TV shows, you deserve it!" Chen Mo quickly said.

“It’s the same food that our Tian Tian is so possessive of!” Zhao Liying said behind her back.

Jing Tian glared at her, then started the lottery draw.

After you finish smoking.

Zhao Liying has started revealing more information.

"Ahem, actually this is nothing. As everyone knows, our Tian Tian is the most generous. Every time she visits the film set, she brings a lot of gifts."

Everyone gets a share! That time she visited the set of "The Shallows," hahahahaha! Suddenly, Zhao Liying couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Don't say it!" This time, Yang Mi and Jing Tian ganged up on Zhao Liying.

The viewers in the live chat had already been aroused by the gossip.

They all spoke up.

"Tell me! What's so funny?"

"Yang Mi and Jing Tian both stopped it, there must be something fishy going on here!"

"I love to hear it, I want to hear it, but hey, can someone help separate these two?"

In a dramatic turn of events, Fan Binbin, Zhang Yuqi, and Gao Yuanyuan all rushed forward to rescue Zhao Liying.

Don't get me wrong, they really didn't want to help Zhao Liying, they were just really curious and wanted to see what was going on!

Not many people actually know about this.

Chen Mo was somewhat surprised that Zhao Liying knew about this.

"Back then, Tian Tian prepared a very special gift for Yang Mi. I heard that Yang Mi was very happy when she received it because that gift was the most expensive and special compared to the gifts she gave to others!"
Yang Mi was initially happy when she received it, but she quickly turned on her guard! "Hahaha!" Zhao Liying, with the help of several others, broke free from Yang Mi and Jing Tian's encirclement and then hid behind Chen Mo, saying.

"Don't say it!"

"can not say!"

Jing Tian and Yang Mi shouted angrily!

Zhao Liying completely ignored the two of them and said with a smile, "The gift she gave Yang Mi was..."

"Well!"

While everyone was curious and wanted to know the answer, Chen Mo covered her mouth.

"Ahem, ahem, alright, it'll lose its charm if I tell you. Let everyone guess!" Chen Mo quickly said.

"has a problem!"

"There's definitely something wrong!"

"Something's fishy! What kind of gift is it?"

"Why are they reacting so strongly? What did they give them? It's not one of those cups, is it?"

"The person upstairs is being too vulgar. They already said it's the most valuable and special one, and Yang Mi was initially very happy about it."

"A gift with hidden meaning? Oh my god, how am I supposed to guess? My wild guess is it's related to some kind of flaw of Yang Mi!"

"Besides being big, what other flaws does 'The Big Secret' have?"

Immediately, viewers in the live stream began making all sorts of guesses.

Yang Mi and Jing Tian both glared fiercely at Zhao Liying.

What a joke! Back then, Jing Tian gave her "foot-washing perfume." If Yang Mi were to reveal that, she would be humiliated in front of hundreds of millions of people across the country and even the world!

No more foot odor, but now it's become a real foot odor remedy!

Of course, Zhao Liying was definitely careful; even if Chen Mo hadn't covered her mouth, she wouldn't have actually said it.

It's purely for entertainment purposes.

Also, she admitted that she was jealous!

After all, it was agreed that she would change into Hanfu when she appeared later, but because Jing Tian interrupted, they came out first, and she looked a bit low-class in her school uniform!
Women are more concerned about inequality than scarcity!
Meanwhile, the question "What gift did Jing Tian give Yang Mi?" instantly became a trending topic.

Countless people below were speculating wildly.

"Urgent! A reward is offered online for clues about the gift Jing Tian gave to Yang Mi! Class representative, please summarize immediately!"

"I'm guessing it's related to 'The Shallows'? After all, Honey played a character who fell into the water back then."

"The person upstairs has a really unique way of thinking! Is it a waterproof foot mask? [doge emoji for protection]"

As netizens' guesses became increasingly outlandish, some even began to get closer to the answer.

Chen Mo noticed that Yang Mi's fingertips were already pinching Zhao Li's waist, so he immediately changed the subject: "Next, we'll draw Hanfu for the Four Gentlemen. Before we draw these Hanfu, let's play a game. This game is too easy for domestic viewers, so this time, the technical team, please disable the speaking privileges for domestic viewers and only target overseas netizens."

Guess the next line of the poem that corresponds to the Four Gentlemen!
One million copies available! No lottery required, just a free gift for those who answer correctly! First come, first served!

As soon as Chen Mo finished speaking, overseas netizens started to get excited.

Japanese netizens: "A poem relay about the Four Gentlemen? Quickly start Google Translate! The next line after the plum blossom line 'She smiles amidst the blossoms'... is it 'Fallen into mud and crushed into dust'?"

An American netizen commented: "Poetry quiz? Time to show off my Chinese class results! Is the next line after '千磨万击还坚劲' (though it's a line from a poem) '任尔东西南北风' (let the winds blow from east, west, north, and south)? Also: Chen Mo, please add subtitles!"

A Southeast Asian netizen commented: "The phrase 'all the wise men have gathered' in the Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion is followed by 'young and old alike gather,' right? I learned that from watching 'Nirvana in Fire'! But I have absolutely no clue about Chrysanthemum's poem 'Drinking Wine' QAQ"

Middle Eastern netizens: "The Arabic translation is going viral in fan groups! Does '任尔东西南北风' in the poem mean 'ignore the winds from all directions'? That's so cool!"

These are relatively serious comments, but in the international version, someone mistakenly wrote "She laughs in the bushes" as "I run away after laughing," which triggered a chain of humorous adaptations.

French netizens used the rose motif from "The Little Prince" to interpret the poem about plum blossoms: "She is my one and only, all other flowers are dust."
Brazilian viewers, while checking Google, exclaimed, "It's more nerve-wracking than a World Cup penalty shootout!"

When Chen Mo announced the correct answer, comments flooded the screen: "So the ancient Chinese could write rap long ago! The 'strong and resilient + north and south winds' of the Bamboo and Rock Poem is the earliest diss track!"
