This director is vindictive.

Chapter 332 It's clearly a movie for three people, yet I never get a name!
Reality can be so surreal sometimes, but you can't say that what these people are saying makes no sense at all.

The fact that Shengshi Pictures currently has such a high market value is indeed largely due to Chen Mo's female confidantes.

Companies like Yang Mi's, Fan Binbin's, and Zhao Liying's were all invested in and held by Chen Mo under the name of Shengshi Film Industry.

And now, their company's development is equally impressive, after all, with Chen Mo and Shengshi Pictures backing them, they have access to the best resources.

Therefore, to some extent, it is indeed plausible that Chen Mo used emotions to bind them, as they said.

The film and television projects they are currently starring in are almost all projects in which they have brought their own investment.

It can be said that the price has skyrocketed almost like a snowball in recent years.

In addition, they are indeed top female celebrities in the entertainment industry, and they have signed many new generation artists who are also doing well.

All of these factors combined have contributed to the current staggering market value of Shengshi Pictures.

This can be described as a case of unintentionally achieving unexpected success.

Chen Mo's actions back then, such as investing in Yang Mi's company, were largely to prevent her from following the same path as in her previous life. In her previous life, Yang Mi turned herself into a workaholic because of a betting agreement.

He barely had any rest throughout the year, and in the end, he was kicked out of the company he founded.

That's why Chen Mo invested; after all, he'd cherish his own woman!

Although this woman still maintains her workaholic style, at least this time she is working for herself, rather than doing the work for someone else.

Zhao Liying and Fan Binbin are the same; it can be said that they are no longer just ordinary celebrities, but a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.

Although Liu Yifei initially refused, sometimes, a woman's name is synonymous with saying one thing and meaning another.

Just as Chen Mo had thought, perhaps she didn't care that much about money, and as she said, she wasn't after money.

But giving or not giving are two completely different things.

See, the benefits will come very soon.

First, there's the fairy sister, who's been incredibly gentle and clingy towards Chen Mo lately.

And don't let her usual shy and reserved demeanor fool you; once certain strange switches are flipped, she becomes the most proactive one.

It also allowed Chen Mo to experience the different charms of the fairy sisters.

The contrast was something that was difficult for outsiders to understand, but Chen Mo certainly experienced it firsthand.

That's not all. Even Liu's mother became incredibly kind to Chen Mo after learning about this.

This has nothing to do with whether someone is snobbish or not. The key point is that Chen Mo expressed his attitude in this way!
As a result, during this period, Liu's mother often cooked all kinds of nourishing soups for Chen Mo, her son-in-law, which made Liu Yifei the target of teasing from her other sisters.

Surprisingly, after the Wall Street research report caused a huge uproar in the industry, Chen Mo's "Emotional Economics" unexpectedly became a case study in business schools.

Even a Harvard professor joked on Twitter: "I suggest the next issue of The Economist use Chen Mo's picture on the cover with the caption: 'On the positive correlation between harem size and corporate valuation.'"

Even more absurdly, a second-tier actress publicly asked, "Director Chen, are you considering opening a 'Master of Balance Training Course'? Our company's shareholders urgently need to take the course!"

The accompanying image was a cover of "Currency Wars" photoshopped to resemble Chen Mo's face, and the repost section was instantly flooded with "Please open a class +1".

Meanwhile, Chen Mo, at the center of the storm, was being "tutored" by the "Fairy Sister" in the hotel room where the film crew was located.

"Article 3 of this agreement is clearly problematic!"

Liu Yifei, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, tapped her fingertips heavily on the tablet. Under the warm yellow lamplight, the taut lines of her profile were a stark contrast to her gentle beauty in front of the camera during the day.

Chen Mo wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder and chuckling softly, "Is shareholder Liu so dedicated? Checking company documents at two in the morning?"

No problem, at this moment, the fairy sister is playing the role of a career woman!
I don't know who inspired her recently, but she's become incredibly skilled at role-playing.

Stop grinning like that!

Her ears turned red, but she forced a serious expression: "Morgan Stanley predicts you'll reduce your stake by 5% next year to cash out, but according to the 'Listed Companies...'"

She choked before she could finish speaking—Chen Mo's fingertips were slowly tracing up her spine.

Chen Mo was happy to play along. It was quite amusing to see the usually ethereal, otherworldly beauty turn into a career woman.

"Cash out?"

Chen Mo bit her pearly earlobe and whispered, "What would I do with the cash? Give shares to my eighth girl?"

The tablet fell to the carpet with a thud. As Liu Yifei turned around, the collar of her bathrobe had already slipped below her collarbone: "You...you dare!"

She clearly wanted to glare at someone, but her moist eyes made it seem like she was being coquettish.

"Don't dare."

Chen Mo laughed and said in a serious tone, "I, Chen Mo, clearly state that I, Chen Mo, will not reduce my holdings within five years."

"Is Supervisor Liu satisfied now?"

"Haha, who did you learn this from? You're doing it quite well!" Chen Mo couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Yang Mi? Zhang Yuqi? Or Fan Binbin?"

She suddenly pounced on him and bit his Adam's apple, then said shyly, "No, it's not that! It's... Mom insisted I learn to read financial statements." Her voice trailed off, "She said... she couldn't let down the shares you gave me."

Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh.

I recall the "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Soup" that Aunt Liu, who is hailed as the guardian angel of the Fairy Sister, often sends me recently.

He couldn't help but shake his head.

"Hmm, Supervisor Liu, now that we've finished discussing work, shouldn't we get down to business?" Chen Mo said, looking at her.

Liu Yifei, a career elite and the "key decision-making factor" analyzed by Wall Street elites, is straddling Chen Mo's lap, unbuckling his belt.

Filming of "Sunny Sisters" proceeded smoothly and steadily in this atmosphere.

In fact, this movie was destined not to be made like other movies; Chen Mo's main focus was on having fun!

This is basically a "family memorial film," so we'll do whatever's fun and visually appealing!
Therefore, distortion is inevitable!

But he no longer cared.

Finally, as 2022 was about to end, the movie "Sunny Sisters" announced that filming had wrapped up!
Filming wrapped up, the crew disbanded, and Chen Mo's women hurriedly left one by one.

The main reason is that although the young children at home are often brought to visit the set, they are still very young, so they must miss and worry about them after being away for so long.

In the end, only two people remained: one was the newcomer, the "Fairy Sister," since she didn't have a child yet.

The other one is Yang Mi!

Yang Mi stayed mainly for the upcoming third episode of the "Wedding Ceremony"!

To be honest, Chen Mo was having a bit of a headache. Although he had planned to give each woman a "wedding," it was really not easy to make each wedding stand out.

It's more tiring than making a movie!

"Yifei, can you help me choose a theme?" Yang Mi had clearly been looking forward to this "wedding" for a long time. Holding a piece of paper with many themes written on it, she pulled Liu Yifei and said.

Liu Yifei's fingertips lightly traced the lines of the paper, then suddenly stopped on one of the options, her eyes lighting up: "How about this 'Martial Arts World' theme? You play the female knight-errant, he plays the wandering swordsman, and in the end, they're married on the summit of Mount Hua." Yang Mi chuckled: "Have you become obsessed with period dramas? But..."

She suddenly narrowed her fox-like eyes and said teasingly, "It would be quite interesting if Chen Mo wore the tattered sleeve costume of Yang Guo from 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'."

Just as the two were laughing together, Chen Mo pushed open the door with a fruit platter. He overheard the last half of the sentence and immediately alarmed: "What dangerous project are you planning now?"

"I'm helping you choose your wedding night costume!"

Yang Mi waved the papers around, the slit in her cheongsam revealing a dangerous curve, and said with a wicked grin, "Yifei suggests you cosplay Yang Guo, but I think Yin Zhiping would be more suitable."

Liu Yifei blushed instantly and covered her mouth, while Chen Mo choked and coughed.

Goodness, just thinking about that scene makes Chen Mo a little excited!
“I think the theme of the 1950s and 60s is good. It would be interesting if you wore one of those big floral cotton-padded jackets!” Liu Yifei immediately retorted.

"A floral cotton-padded jacket? That's a great idea! We can do a 'Parents' Love' theme. I'll wear a Zhongshan suit, and Yang Mi, you can wear two braids. The wedding venue can be decorated with old-fashioned enamel mugs and peony-patterned quilt covers!" Chen Mo looked Yang Mi up and down, imagining her wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket and wearing two braids, and couldn't help but laugh.

Yang Mi narrowed her fox-like eyes, her fingers already pinching the soft flesh of Chen Mo's waist: "Sure enough, some people forget their old flames once they have a new one! And you, Yifei, you're really something else, the bride's in the room and the matchmaker's thrown over the wall!"

"You all ganged up on me!" she said, turning around and starting to tickle Liu Yifei.

The two immediately started arguing.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Actually, I think Yifei's suggestion is pretty good. Besides, this theme was already one of our alternative options. That era has its own unique flavor, and I think we can give it a try." After the two had finished joking around, Chen Mo said seriously.

"Furthermore, Yu Qi has also worn a traditional Northeastern Chinese padded jacket on the red carpet at award ceremonies. We can have Huayun design several wedding outfits for you that not only capture the flavor of that era but also have a fashionable feel," Chen Mo added.

"Really?" Yang Mi asked, somewhat doubtful.

“Of course! I originally wanted to do a prehistoric theme, but to be honest, that's still ancient costume. However, Tian Tian and Li Ying had traditional classical weddings and fantasy-themed weddings, respectively, but ultimately, they both lean towards ancient style. In addition, the wedding documentaries we've collaborated on with the government in the past two years have all been in ancient costume, so if we choose another one, it will inevitably cause aesthetic fatigue for everyone,” Chen Mo explained.

"But the 1950s and 60s were different; they had both nostalgia and the ability to come up with new ideas—for example, wedding banquets could be held in the style of a commune canteen, with guests all wearing work clothes and badges."
For the wedding procession, I can ride a 28-inch bicycle, with a big red flower tied to the handlebars!

Liu Yifei's eyes suddenly lit up: "I remember there's a well-preserved former state-owned textile factory site in Hengdian!" She suddenly fell silent halfway through her sentence because Yang Mi was lightly tapping her head with the script: "Is Supervisor Liu trying to steal the producer's job?"

As the three laughed and joked, the first snow of the winter began to fall outside the window. Looking at the frost flowers forming on the glass, Chen Mo suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "And although it's a retro era, the climax of the wedding could be designed as 'sharing the snow, growing old together'!"

"For example, when it was time for my bride's return visit to her parents' home, it happened to be snowing. I rode my old bicycle with you, my little wife, on the back, and snow was falling from the sky."

As Yang Mi listened to Chen Mo's description of the scene, her face was filled with longing.

"Moreover, in those days, the 'thirty-six legs' and 'three turns and one sound' were all the rage!"

Yang Mi traced circles in Chen Mo's palm with her fingertips, then suddenly sat up straight: "Three turns and one sound! Sewing machine, bicycle, watch, and radio—how about we set up a supply and marketing cooperative counter at the wedding? You wear blue overalls and be the salesperson, and I'll use ration coupons to 'purchase' the groom!"

Liu Yifei, who was drinking water, almost choked when she heard this. With water droplets still clinging to her eyelashes, she hurriedly raised her hand: "I'll add! Replace the entire wedding procession with Phoenix 28-inch bicycles, and have Sister Binbin and the others be the bridesmaids. Hang 'Learn from Daqing in Industry' signs on the handlebars!"

As the two continued their increasingly outrageous argument, Chen Mo quickly shouted, "Stop! Stop! Stop!"

As she spoke, she grabbed Yang Mi by the back of the neck and lifted her up like a fox: "Are you guys filming a sequel to 'Sunny Sisters' called 'Iron Sisters'?"

"Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to be the 1950s or 60s. Going back a step further, the 1980s or 90s would also work! That's exactly when people of our parents' age get married. Maybe that will spark some intergenerational interaction between the two generations!" Chen Mo continued with a smile.

"However, speaking of which, weddings in their time, although they didn't have as many fancy things as they do now, were truly pure and passionate." Chen Mo tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, his eyes gradually glazing over, as if he had traveled through time to see something.

Yang Mi suddenly clapped her hands: "I remember now! My mom said she wore a red sweater to her wedding, my dad borrowed a tricycle to pick her up, and the neighbors gathered around to share fruit candies—now, looking at old photos feels especially precious." She turned to Liu Yifei: "Did your mother ever mention her wedding?"

Liu Yifei rested her chin on her hand, her gold-rimmed glasses slipping down to the tip of her nose: "Mom said that Grandpa rode a Forever brand bicycle back then, with two peony-patterned quilt covers tied to the back seat as part of his dowry."

She suddenly laughed: "The funniest thing was that the bicycle chain broke on the way to the wedding, and all the young men around us ran over to help push the bicycle."

"Isn't this a ready-made plot?"

Yang Mi suddenly said, "Let's design the wedding ceremony as a 'broken-down wedding procession'—we'll have the props team replicate a few old-fashioned bicycles, and deliberately arrange 'accidents' on the way to the wedding, so that the guests can all participate in the rescue. Finally, when the newlyweds enter on the repaired bicycles, the whole audience will sing 'We Workers Have Strength'!"

As she was talking, she burst into laughter and fell into Chen Mo's arms: "But isn't this a bit too much? If the media takes pictures, they'll think we're filming a patriotic movie!"

But she quickly sat up, her eyes sparkling: "However... if we could really borrow my dad's old 'Phoenix' car as our wedding car..."

Liu Yifei suddenly held up her phone: "Look, there are actually people doing this kind of retro wedding now, and it's even a chain wedding company. They have Butterfly brand sewing machines and Red Lantern brand radios from the 1980s!"

She turned the screen towards the two of them: "Look at this glass candy jar, it's exactly the same as the one in 'Hi Mom'!"

The three of them huddled together, examining photos of old objects on their phones. Outside, the snow fell heavier and heavier, piling up thick, fluffy snowflakes on the glass. Chen Mo suddenly stood up and drew back the curtains: "Look at this snow—it's like God has provided us with a ready-made backdrop!"

"How about it? You two, how about we go and experience it in advance? If we can share a snowfall someday, we can be considered to have grown old together in this life?" Chen Mo invited with a smile.

Their eyes lit up immediately; how could a woman resist such "romance"?

The three of them quickly came out together.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, and soon turned all three of their hair "white"!

"Click, click!" Yang Mi picked up her phone and took a few selfies.

Then, I stared blankly at the photo I had just taken of the three of us, a picture of "growing old together."

Suddenly, a snowball hit Yang Mi in the face.

"Aaaaah! Liu Yifei! I'll fight you to the death!" Yang Mi looked up and saw that it was Liu Yifei who had thrown snowballs at her!

The two quickly started exchanging blows, and although they were both in their thirties, they acted like children, having a snowball fight in the snow.

However, the battle between the two soon spread to Chen Mo as well.

The snowball arced through the air. Chen Mo dodged Yang Mi's sneak attack, but bumped into Liu Yifei's open arms. Her fingertips were still covered in snowflakes, and she took the opportunity to wipe them on the back of his neck, making Chen Mo shiver from the cold.

"Spare my life, ladies!"

Chen Mo raised his hands in surrender, and snowflakes from his hair fell softly onto the collar of his wool coat.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yang Mi stuffed a snowball into his collar and let out a triumphant laugh.

As the three chased each other, Liu Yifei's high heels suddenly sank into a snowdrift, causing her to lean backward. Chen Mo strode forward and grabbed her waist, the momentum causing them to spin half a circle, the snowflakes swirling up sparkling like diamonds in the morning light.

If this scene were captured, it would definitely be a snow-covered poster for "Sunny Sisters." Yang Mi stood frozen, holding her phone, as Chen Mo lowered his head and his nose brushed against Liu Yifei's frostbitten earlobe, their breaths mingling together.

For some reason, Yang Mi suddenly felt a faint bittersweet feeling. She deliberately made a crunching sound as she approached, but her phone honestly snapped a dozen photos in a row.

But he sang: "It's clearly a movie for three people, yet I never get a name!"

Chen Mo and Liu Yifei were both taken aback.

Then they looked at each other and couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, stop being so sour. Come on, I'll carry you back!" As a master of impartiality, Chen Mo naturally knew what to do at this moment.

As expected, she, who was initially a little jealous, immediately smiled upon hearing Chen Mo's words.

Chen Mo bent down, and Yang Mi suddenly pounced on him, almost knocking him to the ground.

Chen Mo pinched Yang Mi on his back with a hint of annoyance, then carried her back and walked away.

Looking at this scene, Liu Yifei felt an inexplicable joy in her heart for some reason!
She hadn't been this happy in a very, very long time!
