This director is vindictive.

Chapter 321 The Modern-Day Wei Xiaobao: My Wives Help Me Find a New Wife
After seeing Jing Tian's words, Chen Mo was speechless.

Good heavens, is this the biggest drawback of having a harem?

He was initially worried that the group wouldn't get along, especially Yang Mi and Jing Tian, ​​who would almost always argue whenever they met.

Now look at us, we're all on the same side.

Sure enough, soon the women started to cheer.

Yang Mi: "Tian Tian is right, I vote for Chen Mo, I'm rooting for you!"

Fan Binbin: "The minority obeys the majority, that's a good thing, I suggest we do it this way from now on, and I'm also voting for @ChenMo!"

Zhang Yuqi: "Yes, @ChenMo, you can also think about who you want as the seventh sister now, and we can vote for you!"

Zhao Liying: "So, Mr. Chen Mo, how are you going to deal with this?"

Gao Yuanyuan: "So the current situation is quite clear, 6:1, @ChenMo, what do you say?"

What can Chen Mo say?
He has completely given up on himself.

"Alright, I'll direct, okay? As for the seventh sister, you guys handle it, I'm not picky!" Chen Mo said directly.

I'm a jerk, so what!

If you dare to choose, I dare to take it!

Sure enough, after he sent that message, the entire chat group suddenly paused.

Chen Mo couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.

Then I tossed my phone onto the sofa, and as soon as it left my hand, I heard a barrage of message notifications.

Chen Mo didn't even look at it; whatever!
However, Chen Mo soon regretted not reading the follow-up content in time.

Because he really underestimated how "outrageous" it was when a group of women discussed things about him together!
Not long after, his phone suddenly rang.

The caller was Hu Ge.

Chen Mo answered the call with some confusion.

"Old Hu? What brings you to call me?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"How did you do that?" Hu Ge asked in a shocked tone as soon as she spoke.

"What? How did you do that? It's so weird!" Chen Mo was completely bewildered.

"You don't know?" Hu Ge suddenly laughed.

"What do I know? What's going on?" Chen Mo was even more confused.

"Kukuku, you should just go online and check Weibo yourself! Um, well, actually Yifei is pretty good, there's really nothing between us, you don't need to worry!" Hu Ge suddenly laughed like a duck and then said.

Chen Mo was completely stumped. What the hell?

Chen Mo quickly opened his phone and logged into Weibo.

Then, the next moment, he was completely speechless. These women were just too annoying!
Chen Mo clicked on the trending search terms and found that Yang Mi and others had launched a poll in the name of the "Sunny Sisters" crew: #You Decide on the Seventh Sister#, and attached a nine-grid photo of female stars: Liu Yifei, Tang Yan, Liu Shishi and other top actresses were prominently featured.

The comment section completely exploded:
"Holy crap! Chen Mo's harem is holding a collective selection of concubines? This is a unique move in the Chinese entertainment industry! #You DecideOnTheSeventhSister#"

"What do you mean 'unique in the Chinese entertainment industry'? This is practically unique in the world! I just want to ask, @ChenMo, how did you do that?"

"The entire harem is trying to find Xiao Qi for Chen Mo? This entertainment circle really knows how to play games [eating melon emoji] Is Liu Yifei and Tang Yan forming a girl group?"

"I can't believe it! The main wives are choosing Xiao Qi themselves? @ChenMo is so envious! Even Wei Xiaobao couldn't be this much of a scumbag!"

"About My Wives Helping Me Find New Wives" #ModelMenOfOurTime#

As for why Hu Ge made the phone call, it was entirely because of the CP fans making a fuss.

"Go Yifei! The leftover children of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series are finally going to find love!"

"Wait a minute, I think I should ask Brother Xiaoyao for his permission first, right? @HuGe!"

"@HuGe, if you agree, I'll vote for Ling'er?"

"They've all joined Tang Yan! The three sisters of 'Chinese Paladin 3,' Xuejian, Longkui, and Zixuan, are now all together, making for a perfect ending!"

"Where's Dilraba? Aren't you going to include her in the Jaywalk gift package? @YangMi, don't your employees deserve to be mentioned?"

It's not surprising that fans are playing these games. The main reason is that when Hu Ge was filming the movie "Fame and Fortune," the way he looked at Liu Yifei was a hot topic among netizens who speculated about the "Chinese Paladin" couple.

However, not everyone is happy to watch the drama unfold; some people are taking it too seriously.

A Weibo influencer commented: "Openly objectifying women? These actresses have no shame when it comes to gaining attention!"

Of course, netizens aren't so forgiving when it comes to such attention-grabbing remarks.

A large number of people immediately came to refute this.

"This is clearly an interactive voting event organized by the 'Sunny' film crew for casting. They're using the 'sisterhood' concept as a joke, but it's essentially movie marketing. Everyone knows it's publicity, so why make a big deal out of it and distort entertainment planning into objectifying women? Isn't that too sensitive?"

"Yang Mi and Jing Tian are actually Chen Mo's 'good friends' in real life. Their teasing about the 'harem' is just a joke between acquaintances. Netizens making fun of Wei Xiaobao is spontaneous entertainment. The actresses didn't intentionally portray anyone as an animal; this is purely labeling them."

"I'm just puzzled. Chen Mo was teased as 'Wei Xiaobao' and no one criticized him, but female stars who use the same method for publicity are criticized for 'objectification'?"

The topic quickly gained traction, which is perfectly normal, given that it's been around for a long time.

Last year, during the super-generous live stream, even Saudi tycoons joined in the fun, and a scene of a tycoon's dowry was staged.

In addition, the impact of this year's 814 Welfare Festival has not completely subsided, and Chen Mo can be said to still be the focus of everyone's attention. Therefore, when Jing Tian and her friends held a "selection of sisters" activity, netizens spontaneously participated in it.

As for things like choosing concubines, frankly, anyone who takes it seriously is a fool.

After all, everyone knows about the relationship between those six women and Chen Mo. What woman could be so generous as to do that? And all six of them together? This is clearly a publicity stunt.

Are we really going to give Chen Mo another chance? Taking it too seriously is the only way to truly lose!

Chen Mo was horrified when he saw this, because they hadn't told him anything at all! It was a complete surprise attack.

However, just as he was speechless, his phone rang again. This time it was his mother calling!

When his mother earnestly said, "Son, six is ​​enough!" he was truly devastated.

But this news has already completely exploded.

Although, in "Sunny Sisters," Jing Tian and her friends, who were close to Chen Mo, collectively fabricated the news about selecting the "seventh sister."

Everyone knows this is just for publicity, casting for the movie.

But the onlookers couldn't help but think that this interpretation made the story even more interesting!
And so, it spiraled out of control.

See, at this point, netizens don't care what you think, they only care what I think!
It just takes two to tango!

If it were just Jing Tian and her friends unilaterally initiating the sister selection activity, everyone would probably just make a fuss and then it would be over.

But to Chen Mo's surprise, they actually responded.

The first to respond was surprisingly everyone's ethereal beauty, Liu Yifei: "@YangMi I thought our sworn sisterhood had already blossomed, so why do I still need to present my name card for verification now? (Daiyu wiping away tears.jpg)"

However, it must be said that Liu Yifei, the queen of the Chinese entertainment industry, has undeniable popularity.

Especially since she rarely does this, her sudden move instantly sparked a lot of teasing and banter from netizens and fans.

Her "Daiyu"-esque statement immediately went viral and became a trending topic.

Netizens started making jokes in the comments.

"If I'd known they wanted a physical exam, I shouldn't have come to this Grand View Garden! #You Decide on the Seventh Sister#"

(The accompanying image is photoshopped to show Daiyu carrying a "Chen Family Recruitment" sign, with Yang Mi and others holding magnifying glasses in the background.)
"Brother Bao choosing a concubine and Lin Daiyu shedding tears? @HuGe, your Ling'er is burying flowers! [Video]"

(A compilation of Ling'er's crying scene from "Chinese Paladin" and a clip from "Dream of the Red Chamber" depicting the burial of flowers, with the subtitle: "If I had known he was coming, I wouldn't have come.")
"Lin Daiyu: I cried because they didn't fix my hairline in the photo editing @ChenMo #ContemporaryImperialConcubineSelectionQualityStandards#"

(Compare Liu Yifei's hairline in different stills, marked as "A must-learn course for potential imperial concubines")
Even bloggers specializing in "Dream of the Red Chamber" joined in the fun, posting: "Daiyu's speech is essentially an indictment of the feudal selection system (doge). I suggest Chen Mo change to play Jia Zheng, since Lady Wang + Aunt Zhao + Aunt Zhou ≈ 6:1." Chen Mo was completely stumped. To be honest, although it's just publicity and marketing, this matter is still quite sensitive.

It's easy to imagine that if a seventh female celebrity really joined "Sunny Sisters," then the rumors about her and Chen Mo would definitely be a given!
But he really didn't expect that Liu Yifei, who rarely gets involved in such things, would actually take the lead and make a statement in the style of Daiyu.

However, Chen Mo clearly underestimated women's hearts, or rather, he simply didn't understand women's thoughts!

Liu Yifei, the "leftover child" of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, is still single, so it's somewhat understandable that she'd join in. However, Chen Mo didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

Soon, Liu Shishi also started playing.

It also forms a classic red and white rose contrast with Liu Yifei's "Lin Daiyu style":
@ChenMo, since you've been included in the list of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, why not establish some proper rules for a poetry club? (teacup.jpg)

—The society meets on the 26th of each month, and the seventh sister must fill in the rhyme of "Ode to the White Crabapple" @YangMi @JingTian!

The accompanying image photoshopped Ruoxi's look from "Scarlet Heart" into a scene of a grand banquet in the Grand View Garden, with the poem she held reading "Hengwu Jun drafts the rules of the club!"

Yang Mi, however, seems to enjoy watching the drama unfold. You see, Liu Shishi, one of the three beauties of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, is quite different from Liu Yifei, the "left-behind child" of the series.

This is a married woman!
Yang Mi quickly replied: "Sister Bao is so impressive! @Chen Mo, why don't you hurry up and hang up the plaque for Xiaoxiang Pavilion?"

But even more absurd things were yet to come.

The two mentioned earlier, Zhuge Liang and Feng Xiao, one being Lin Daiyu and the other Xue Baochai, are already quite remarkable.

Tang Yan even joined in, making Chen Mo wonder if they had planned it all along.

After all, Chen Mo and Liu Yifei were fairly familiar with each other, but he really didn't have much interaction with the other two of the three beauties from the Legend of Sword and Fairy series.

If Tang Yanruo responded in a "Wang Xifeng-style" manner, she would do it quite convincingly.

"Oh~ This missing seventh sister reminds me of the procedures for managing the Ningguo Mansion back then (slanting phoenix eyes.jpg)"

@ChenMo, it's all your Chen family's money anyway, why not give us two hundred taels to make a pair of gold hairpins for the sisters—they have to be pure gold! @YangMi, do you think that makes sense?

The accompanying image photoshopped Zi Xuan's appearance from "Chinese Paladin 3" into a scene of Wang Xifeng wielding power at the Iron Threshold Temple. The account book was labeled "Special Expenditure for the Selection of Concubines at the Chen Mansion," and the abacus beads in her hand were marked with the names of actresses such as Liu Yifei.

"What the heck? Isn't this the casting for 'Sunny'? How did 'Dream of the Red Chamber' end up in this?!"

"The Dream of the Red Chamber production team sent a lawyer's letter overnight: Please settle the copyright fees, thank you! #When the Twelve Beauties of Jinling Become a Selection Record for Concubines in the Chinese Entertainment Industry# I suggest Chen Mo change to play Jia Lian, after all, even Feng Ge'er (Tang Yan) is asking for money! Cao Dajia's coffin lid can't hold it down anymore!"

Image caption: The plaque in the Grand View Garden has been photoshopped to read "Chen Mansion's Imperial Concubine Selection Office," accompanied by a meme of Grandmother Jia shaking her head!

"The four beauties from 'Chinese Paladin' are all joining the battle? @HuGe, you filmed 'Chinese Paladin' back then, not 'The Matchmaker's Tale'! [Video]"
(A clip from "Chinese Paladin 3" showing Long Kui jumping into the sword-forging pool with subtitles: "The day her brother chooses his consort is the day her sister trends on social media.")

At this point, Weibo's trending topics list was in complete chaos:

#Twelve Flower Goddess Hairpins of the Chen Family Mansion Bidding Event#
#The three leading ladies of Chinese Paladin have collectively become scholars of Dream of the Red Chamber#
#HuGe is the biggest loser# (Hot)

Chen Mo was completely dumbfounded! It felt like the situation was completely out of control.

Chen Mo had absolutely no idea what these women were thinking.

Could I really be thinking of finding myself a seventh one? I need to quickly shake that dangerous idea out of my head.

Chen Mo, an elderly man on the subway, looked at his phone as it kept refreshing with all sorts of sarcastic comments.

Then he suddenly sat up straight, picked up his phone, and started editing rapidly.

You're going to choose a concubine for me? That's great!
But one isn't enough!

You can play the seven mature versions of the Sunny Sisters, but shouldn't the seven younger sisters also come out?

That's right, Chen Mo is determined to muddy the waters.

You have your brilliant plans, and I have my countermeasures. Come on, let's have some fun! We have plenty of time!

Chen Mo hummed the song as he sent out the edited content.

"Since everyone's so enthusiastic, let's go all out! The global audition for the seven sisters in the youth version of 'Sunny Sisters' has officially begun! No nationality, age, or style restrictions—as long as you're 'sisterly' enough, sign up! #You Decide on the Seventh Sister# (doge)"

Image attached: A recruitment poster for "Chen Family Selection of Concubines" was photoshopped, with Yang Mi, Jing Tian and others photoshopped as interviewers, while he himself sat on the "judges' seat" with his legs crossed, and the caption "Chen Mo reserves the right of final interpretation".

"Holy crap, I thought the six sisters' help in the concubine selection was already at the highest level, but I didn't expect that the six actresses were on the second floor, and the third floor was above the ceiling, while Chen Mo was actually on the top floor! This is definitely a dimensional reduction attack!"

"Wow, wow, amazing! Awesome, absolutely amazing! I'd be impressed by you, even if my uncle and grandma didn't help me! Seven aren't enough? Is this the rhythm of a new generation replacing the old?"

"No problem, men will always prefer eighteen-year-olds!"

"Mr. Chen's move is like, 'You guys flip the table, I'll just demolish the house!'"

(Image: Yang Mi and others with stunned expressions, background photoshopped to resemble a demolition site, caption: 'What happened to the promised 6:1 voting rights?')

"No problem, the women have a 6:1 advantage, I'll just broaden the vote pool, that's incredibly clever!"

"I suggest renaming it 'Sunshine Sisters: Produce Camp 2022'!"
The application form is filled out. In the special skills section, I wrote, "I can sing 'Love Transaction' and can help Director Chen boost box office sales." @Chen Mo, will you accept me?

"Wake up, sister! The first requirement for the Chen family's job posting is: be able to catch a pot that Jing Tian throws with your bare hands [doge emoji]"

"The voting for the mature version of the seven sisters has just started, and the youth version has already introduced seven new pitfalls. Is Director Chen afraid that Yang Mi's group and Jing Tian's group will fight and divide the tracks in advance? (Tactical analysis diagram: Chen Mo holding a 'World Peace' banner is photoshopped between the two groups of actresses)"

"Isn't this a completely new Versailles?"

Surface: 'Global auditions are so tiring!'

Reality: "Keep an eye on the women, my fishpond can hold the seven continents."

With this surge in popularity, the young actresses born in the 00s immediately took notice.

Yang Chaoyue, who was considered the hope of the entire village, took the lead in this action.

She posted a short video with the song "Love for Sale" playing in the background, holding a self-made "Chen Family Job Application Resume" card, and solemnly read it aloud:

Special skills: "Can sing and dance (but not necessarily in tune), can catch jokes (like now), and is good at turning talent shows into comedies (refer to Produce Camp).

Boss, choosing me is a sure thing! My fans have a 'village-wide buff' when they curse, which can help you take the blame for Sister Jing Tian!
Finally, if I'm hired, can my salary be converted into a meal of snail rice noodles?

Not to be outdone, Yang Zi posted a photoshopped childhood picture from a drama, captioned:

"@Uncle Chen Mo, I'm an adult, can I still sign up? I promise it'll be easier than what Sister Mi and the others do! (Attached is a sign from 'Home with Kids' where Liu Xing holds up a sign saying 'Count me in')"

Chen Mo almost spat out his water when he saw this Weibo post.

Good heavens, absolutely good heavens.

Damn, I've already been promoted to uncle level?

If Yang Chaoyue's mudslide-like self-recommendation was still bearable, then Yang Zi's "calling him uncle" was like stirring up a hornet's nest!
There's no way around it, this time they're calling me "uncle," it's just too much to handle.

Chen Mo could imagine Yang Mi and the others gritting their teeth. There was nothing they could do; age was a real problem!
No one can stay eighteen forever! But men always love eighteen-year-olds!

This attack has a really wide reach!

Chen Momo silently gave a thumbs up to Yang Zi's courage, she's really brave!
"Yang Zi's first step in this round of rectification of the Chen family: calling them 'uncle' instead of 'brother,' directly suppressing them by seniority!"

"Hilarious! I didn't expect Yang Zi to go so far as to launch a sweeping generalization. She's really brave. Calling Chen Mo 'Uncle' would make Jing Tian and the others 'Aunties' too, wouldn't that?"

Jing Tian: Okay, okay, is this how you play it?

Yang Mi: I've been promoted to auntie?

"Holy crap, Yang Zi is the most witty one! She just launched a sweeping attack on all six judges. That's a reverse strategy!"

"Please elaborate, upstairs!"

"Think about it, if Chen Mo is called 'uncle,' isn't that a subtle way of saying, 'Aunties, you're getting old, it's time for you to step down and make way for the elders?' Wouldn't they be furious? They'd definitely pick her first, and then slowly orchestrate their revenge. Tsk tsk!"

"Fuck, is this even possible?"

"Calling him 'uncle' is going too far. I think Chen Mo is only a few years older than Yang Zi, right? Tsk tsk!"
