This director is vindictive.

Chapter 381 You scumbag, take this punch!
It's safe to say that everyone in the film and television industry knows that Chen Mo can generate a huge buzz every time he promotes a movie.

Although Fan Binbin's promotional activities were not as effective as Chen Mo's personal involvement, they still caused quite a stir.

Undeniably, this is largely due to the ambiguous relationship between Fan Binbin and Chen Mo.

However, this publicity campaign made many industry insiders realize a key point: although everyone knows that Chen Mo's publicity can bring in hundreds of millions of yuan in box office revenue, given Chen Mo's status and position, ordinary production companies simply cannot get him to help them.

The reason is simple: Chen Mo, as a top-tier director, is a scarce resource. He has no shortage of money, nor does he need to boost his fame by promoting others. In addition, his reputation as a "master of yin and yang" makes people in the industry both love and fear him, making it virtually impossible to get him to speak.

But now everyone has discovered a shortcut; it seems that it's not necessary to directly ask Chen Mo himself.

The individual publicity from the female celebrities he's closely associated with might only be a fraction of Chen Mo's, but if he gets several to work together, the overall effect might not be any worse. More importantly, inviting these female celebrities is far easier than inviting Chen Mo!
Moreover, when these female celebrities do promotions, they will naturally be associated with Chen Mo. Even if Chen Mo himself doesn't speak out, the outside world will automatically link them with Chen Mo—after all, the entire entertainment industry knows that Chen Mo is like a modern version of Wei Xiaobao, always surrounded by many female confidantes.

Seeing the box office boost brought about by Fan Binbin's promotion, many film company bosses regretted their decision and slapped their thighs. Why didn't they think of such a simple principle earlier? If they could have found more actresses with close relationships with Chen Mo to jointly promote the film, even if Chen Mo himself did not appear, the effect would not have been much worse!
And just like that, Jia Ling tasted the first delicious bite!
Moreover, she invited more than one person. Soon, Yang Mi followed Chen Mo's example and launched a wave of contrast marketing.

Yang Mi did a #HotAndSpicyChallenge# on Douyin and she did it really well.

The show begins with an old still image – Xuejian, the charming and lively character from the original "Chinese Paladin," dressed in ancient costume with gentle, smiling eyes, a total nostalgia trip.

The scene then cuts to her current appearance—wearing boxing gloves, punching the sandbag with crisp, clean movements, sweat flying everywhere, and most importantly, her image is completely different from before.

If Xuejian in the previous "Chinese Paladin" was a cute girl, then here she becomes a fierce and assertive older sister.

Moreover, the sweat-soaked sports vest perfectly accentuated her figure, truly revealing a secret within a secret!

Chen Mo has the most authority to speak on this. The big secrets behind fitness boxing and such are truly captivating and impossible to look away from!

The ending—the camera suddenly shifts, focusing directly on the dining table.

Yang Mi grabbed a large, appetizing pig's trotter, took a big bite, and ate it with her mouth full of collagen. It's safe to say that for anyone trying to lose weight, this kind of greasy pig's trotter is definitely a forbidden food.

But at this moment, Yang Mi exudes a rough and rugged air, completely devoid of any gentle and cute girl demeanor.

However, to be fair, when Chen Mo was taking pictures of her, he felt a surge of appetite, mainly because the big pig's trotter was really delicious!
And the fact that she ate so heartily didn't ruin the beauty and sexiness at all. You could only say that beautiful women can make even cleaning poop look like playing golf!
Then she raised an eyebrow at the camera, grinned mischievously, and said, "Isn't the point of boxing to eat better? @JiaLing, if you lose 100 pounds in a movie, I'll help the audience eat it all back!"

As one of the most prolific female celebrities, Ms. Yang's popularity has always remained high, in no way inferior to that of Fan Binbin.

This unique and unconventional appearance instantly sparked a frenzy of comments.

"Wow, that's amazing! This move is both cool and tempting. It shows off her figure while deliberately subverting expectations, clearly telling everyone that exercise is for fun, not for suffering and starving!"

"Help! How can this woman eat pig's trotters and still look like she's shooting a fashion editorial? Even the oil on Sister Mi's face looks shiny under Director Chen's lens!"

"I suggest Director Chen write a tutorial called 'How to Film a Boxed Lunch Like a Michelin-Starred Meal,' the camerawork is making me so envious! 555!"

"Sandbag: You're so high and mighty! You used me as a punching bag just to show off your pig's trotters?! (But Sister Honey's punching movements are indeed professional; Chen Mo's private lessons weren't a waste [doge!])"

One netizen, claiming to be a ten-year veteran of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, completely lost their composure: "Xuejian!! Back then, you'd cover your mouth and laugh even when you were stealing candied hawthorns in Mount Shu!! Now you're tearing apart a pork knuckle with your bare hands?! Chen Mo, give me back my soft girl! (But hehehe, sister, step on me!)"

"Wow, I've learned something! I really have! Doesn't this prove the saying: You need to eat your fill to have the energy to lose weight!"

"My hand was trembling slightly after putting down the fried chicken, Honey, this is practically a work injury! Chen Mo, you need to do something about this! (But please send me the link to the pig's trotters, thank you!)"

"Is this sandbag Chen Mo in disguise? Sister Mi is pounding it with gritted teeth and a big smile. It's hard not to suspect that this is a recording of a certain director getting beaten up every day [eating melon]!"

When it came to Zhang Yuqi's turn, the tiger girls were truly tigers; they could come up with anything.

"No, are you serious?" Chen Mo looked at the sandbag Zhang Yuqi had customized, which had his photo printed on it, speechless.

"Okay, it's just for fun. You'll have to make a sacrifice for now. I'll make it up to you later." Zhang Yuqi was quite satisfied with her idea.

"No, why? How could you do this, sister!" Chen Mo reached out and pulled the woman into his arms, pinching her hard.

"I can't bring myself to do it! So I'm just using a sandbag as a substitute!" Zhang Yuqi groaned as Chen Mo pinched her, her ears turning visibly red.

Instead, she turned around, wrapped her arms around Chen Mo's neck, and decisively dribbled the ball into him.

"Hey, Zhang Yuqi, this is so fake! If you're going to really take a hard line, you have to be consistent inside and out. You're outwardly attacking this jerk's photos, but behind his back you're all lovey-dovey. You're not professional at all!" Yang Mi said, a little jealous.

"You're so dedicated? Do you eat pig's trotters every day? It's all just for show." Zhang Yuqi didn't give Yang Mi any face at all.

That's right, Yang Mi eating pig's trotters was just a staged photo; in the end, all those pig's trotters ended up in Chen Mo's stomach.

Are you kidding me? Making Yang Mi eat such greasy food? I wouldn't even kill her!

Yang Mi was immediately put in check!
She looked at Chen Mo with a resentful expression, as if to say, "You better control this tigress."

What can Chen Mo do? It would be a miracle if he could control it!
As for Yang Mi, don't be fooled by her seemingly hearty eating. In reality, among Chen Mo's women, probably only Jing Tian would be completely unrestrained when it comes to this kind of food. The problem is, she really doesn't gain weight, which is arguably the most enviable and resentful thing they all know!
Fan Binbin needs no introduction; she gains weight even from drinking water, earning her the nickname "Fat Ice".

Zhang Yuqi is actually not much different. She usually exercises the most, but once she can't control her eating, she can gain the weight back in no time.

Zhao Liying is a little better, but in reality, her control over her diet is also very extreme.

Chen Mo tried to persuade him a few times, but it was all to no avail!
Gao Yuanyuan is a little better, but not by much.

The fairy sister has actually gained quite a bit of weight recently, but she can't resist her cravings and can only eat a little bit each time.

Fortunately, she can now often come to Chen Mo's place to do some vigorous exercise, which has given her another way to lose weight.

It's fair to say that women's control over their figures is truly hard to understand.

"Okay, hurry up and take the picture!" Zhang Yuqi said, shoving her phone into Chen Mo's phone.

What can Chen Mo do?
Oh well, it's just photos anyway, let her do what she wants, as long as she's happy.

"Take it easy, don't hurt your back!" Chen Mo couldn't help but say, looking at Zhang Yuqi who was eager to try.

The main problem is that this woman has a criminal record. Before the personal trainer arrived, she was randomly hitting someone and almost strained her back.

Although I hired a private coach, I'm still just a beginner.

Chen Mo took out his phone and began preparing to film a video of her.

Yang Mi, standing behind them, suddenly turned from gloomy to partly cloudy, her fox-like eyes flashing with an eerie light, but neither Chen Mo nor Zhang Yuqi noticed.

Fan Binbin, however, noticed it.

She silently walked quietly to Yang Mi's side.

He asked in a low voice, "What's going on? Tsk tsk, tell me quickly, what did you find?"

Yang Mi whispered something in her ear.

Fan Binbin turned his head and immediately revealed a mischievous smile.

Yang Mi and Yang Mi exchanged a glance and secretly covered their mouths to laugh.

"Bang bang bang!" Zhang Yuqi started punching the sandbag with Chen Mo's photo on it repeatedly, and she actually did a pretty good job.

Chen Mo felt a bit of a pain in his face while filming.

Goodness, even though it's a photo, it looks kind of scary!

Thank goodness it didn't hit my face. No, I really need to be careful around this tiger woman!
In the midst of the fight, Zhang Yuqi suddenly turned around and smashed the "watermelon" that had been placed there with a punch, causing juice to splatter everywhere!

She suddenly turned to the camera with a serious expression and said to Chen Mo, "Who says women are inferior to men? Who says women have to be gentle? When it comes to scumbags, you should strike hard!"

Chen Mo was immediately speechless.

Good grief, they're not even pretending anymore, are they?
You printed my picture and then attacked me with a heavy blow. Who is this scumbag?

She was practically ready to just give out Chen Mo's ID card!

"How was it? Wasn't it impressive?" Zhang Yuqi suddenly ran over and asked.

Chen Mo looked at her speechlessly: "Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your lines?"

"Oh, it's for publicity, let me see!" Zhang Yuqi said nonchalantly.

Then he grabbed the phone and started watching it himself.

Yang Mi and Fan Binbin also went over to take a look.

Then the two of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly once again!

"That's it, I've posted it!" Zhang Yuqi actually knew to ask Chen Mo one more time.

What can Chen Mo do?
"If I told you not to post it, would you listen?" Chen Mo rolled his eyes.

"Of course not! Hehe, I'd like to see how netizens will make fun of you, hahaha!" Zhang Yuqi said smugly.

Chen Mo looked at Zhang Yuqi as if she were an idiot. "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
