This director is vindictive.

Chapter 384 Sitting at home, headlines fall from the sky

The next day, when Chen Mo woke up, Zhang Yuqi was already gone from the room.

Thinking of Zhang Yuqi's special service last night, Chen Mo couldn't help but grin.

However, we're still a bit sticky all over. We had so much fun last night that we just cuddled up and fell asleep without having a chance to clean ourselves up.

Chen Mo rushed into the bathroom and took a hot shower.

I walked out feeling refreshed.

However, none of them were there. Chen Mo sat at the table eating breakfast while picking up his phone and looking at the chat history in the group.

Okay, as expected, they all made plans to go look at dresses together today.

They were preparing to attend the premiere together.

Chen Mo was happy to have an easy time.

However, he also had things to do today; the post-production of the video of his wedding with Yang Mi was in progress.

It's basically nearing its end.

Actually, the two of them filmed very little. The reason it's not finished yet is entirely due to special effects.

So he still has to keep an eye on it.

The premiere of "Hot and Spicy" is approaching.

Although this movie is not a big production, Jia Ling's previous work, "Hi, Mom," grossed over 5 billion yuan at the box office.

Therefore, the compensation naturally increased accordingly.

Regardless of whether this movie deserves such box office numbers, the box office figures are undeniable.

Even with various special reasons, the box office was indeed a huge success.

Therefore, tonight's premiere can be described as a grand affair.

The event was also a star-studded affair.

Although Jia Ling's films are criticized by many as being inferior to the graduation project of a professionally trained student, they still manage to be box office hits!
Their social status naturally rose accordingly.

As a result, more and more people came to support them.

However, for media professionals, watching celebrities walk down the red carpet is certainly exciting, but there's always a feeling that something is missing.

"It's certainly lively, but it still feels like something's missing," one reporter couldn't help but say.

"We're missing Chen Mo, haha! Have you noticed that whenever Chen Mo is involved in a movie premiere, he always manages to come up with something unique? Like last time, Shen Teng broke a boulder on his chest. I guess only a genius like Chen Mo could come up with such a bizarre marketing strategy, right?" the accompanying reporter said with a laugh.

"It really is! But is he really not coming tonight?" the reporter said with some regret.

"They probably won't come, right? But it's hard to say, after all, Shengshi Pictures is also an investor in this film!"

"Tsk tsk, Chen Mo is worth a thousand troops! The publicity effect... even if he doesn't say a word, his mere presence will make headlines!"

Media reporters were discussing how, although Chen Mo wasn't present, his legend was still circulating.

And so, Jia Ling, after losing weight, made her first public appearance.

She was chatting with Wu Jing.

"Did you invite Director Chen?" Wu Jing asked.

"How could I not invite him? But Director Chen declined. However, I can understand. If Director Chen were to attend, it would definitely be headline news tomorrow. Even if he doesn't say anything, the media will interpret it themselves," Jia Ling said with a wry smile.

"That's true!" Wu Jing couldn't help but laugh, thinking about how Chen Mo could trend on social media even without saying a word.

“However, even though he didn’t come, he’ll definitely be on the front page tomorrow, believe it or not?” Jia Ling suddenly said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Now it was Wu Jing's turn to be surprised.

At that moment, a burst of screams and cheers suddenly erupted outside.

It attracted the attention of the two people who were chatting.

Jia Ling immediately smiled and said, "Look, they're here!"

"Wow! Such a big setup? How did you manage that?" Wu Jing was also somewhat surprised.

"How could I possibly have that ability! I was completely bewildered when I received the news, okay?" Jia Ling was telling the truth.

Wu Jing's surprise was quite understandable.

Because at this very moment, the first climax of the premiere's red carpet event was breaking out outside.

Who is coming?
Chen Mo's female confidantes have all arrived!
This is not surprising at all; if it were Chen Mo's own film, then this would be nothing out of the ordinary.

But so far, this is the first time that these seven people have attended a movie together, unlike any other movie.

No wonder there were such deafening screams outside.

On the one hand, it's because these seven individuals are all, without exception, top-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Jing Tian, ​​who was a sensation with "My Love from the Star" back then, and whose drama "Si Teng" also became a hit online last year, has not had many works in recent years, but that does not prevent her from being a top female star in the entertainment industry.

Not to mention, she also has another identity: Chen Mo's official wife!
Zhao Liying and Yang Mi are both workaholics and frequent contenders for the top spot in TV drama ratings. Liu Yifei, needless to say, is the undisputed queen of the Chinese entertainment industry.

Then there are Zhang Yuqi, Fan Binbin, and Gao Yuanyuan. The former is known for her fierceness and sexiness, while the latter two need no further introduction, having been popular for over twenty years.

They are already at the pinnacle of good looks in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Each of these people, even if taken individually, is capable of handling things on their own, let alone all of them attending at once.

The idea of ​​collecting all seven Dragon Balls to summon Shenron isn't just a myth.

As it turned out, the seven women, dressed in classic evening gowns specially tailored for them by Huayun in seven colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, made their appearance together, instantly driving the fans and moviegoers at the scene into a frenzy.

Meanwhile, the camera shutters of the media personnel were constantly clicking.

Of course, everyone is still looking forward to it. After all, all seven of them have appeared, and they even appeared together. So, if the Seven Fairies have come, where is Dong Yong?
I'm talking about you, Chen Mo!

As a result, a very strange scene unfolded around the red carpet outside the premiere.

That is, the media reporters were all holding cameras and taking pictures of the seven fairies, but their eyes kept drifting behind the seven women.

Not only them, but also the movie fans watching kept looking behind the seven women, just like the media.

"We've gathered all seven Dragon Balls, so why hasn't Shenron appeared?" Unfortunately, they waited for a long time but the figure they were looking for never appeared.

"Jing Tian, ​​will Chen Mo come tonight?"

"Yang Mi, where's Chen Mo?"

"Binbin, is Chen Mo here tonight as well?"

The reporters began asking questions.

However, the seven women were completely oblivious to what was happening and were lining up to walk onto the red carpet one by one.

For a time, everyone in the entertainment industry, no matter who came, had to step aside.

They have completely taken over the red carpet.

Or rather, at this moment, this group of women is absolutely irresistible!

As the seven of them stepped onto the red carpet and signed the autographs, the reporters finally couldn't contain themselves any longer, practically shoving their microphones in Jing Tian's face: "Will Director Chen suddenly show up tonight? Was it his arrangement for all seven of you to attend together?"

Jing Tian covered her mouth and chuckled, tapping the movie title on the autograph board with her fingertip: "We're here to support 'Hot and Spicy,' why are you all focusing on people who aren't here?"

Yang Mi picked up the conversation, deliberately looking around: "Huh? Were there hidden cameras on the red carpet? Some people can still grab headlines even though they didn't come. And you guys are going too far! We're all here, but you're only focusing on someone who didn't show up!"

The reporters looked at each other in bewilderment, and Fan Binbin couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Zhang Yuqi put her arm around Zhao Liying's shoulder and raised an eyebrow at the camera: "Aren't the seven of us enough to make a scene? Does it only become news when that guy comes?"

Suddenly lowering her voice and mimicking Chen Mo's tone, she said, "The media loves to misinterpret things. These are words spoken by your great director himself!"

Gao Yuanyuan was writing her name on the autograph board when she suddenly paused, as if she had noticed something. She abruptly turned and pointed to the end of the red carpet: "Hey! Isn't that—"

Her voice carried just the right amount of surprise, with a slight upward inflection at the end.

As if by reflex, all the reporters turned their cameras, their long lenses and microphones all aimed at the entrance, flashes instantly creating a sea of ​​silver. However, at the end of the red carpet, there were only ribbons billowing in the wind, and not a single staff member was in sight in the empty passageway.

"Pfft—" Liu Yifei was the first to laugh out loud. She covered her lips with her slender fingers, her eyes full of slyness: "See? Any direction you point in is more attractive than us."

She deliberately stood on tiptoe to look around, then sighed with feigned regret, "Some people can be the main character even when they're not there~"

The reporters then realized they had been tricked, and when the camera turned back, the seven people were already standing in a row in perfect unison.

Fan Binbin lightly tapped a live stream camera with her fingertip, a smile playing on her red lips: "Let me give you a title—"

She suddenly raised her voice, each word ringing out: "The Seven Fairies Go on Strike: Refusing to Be Dong Yong's Backdrop!"

Before the words were even finished, all seven of them turned around at the same time.

The skirt, adorned with vibrant colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, billowed like a rainbow, and Zhang Yuqi even turned back to blow a kiss to the camera.

Seven figures left colorful afterimages under the spotlight, leaving only reporters holding up their cameras in vain, watching helplessly as the trending topic disappeared.

Then, they all looked at each other, speechless!
However, they were immediately filled with excitement.

Good heavens, they really are from the same lineage!

I'm reserving this for Toutiao!
As expected, birds of a feather flock together. Although Chen Mo didn't come, the rest of them came together, and in some ways, it was even more exciting than if Chen Mo had come!
At the same time, Jia Ling also went to greet them inside the arena.

"Thank you, thank you all for coming! And please thank Director Chen for me!"

She was genuinely grateful. It's easy to imagine that tonight's premiere will be overshadowed by the appearance of the seven of them, but the exposure will be immense.

Moreover, it's almost a done deal with Toutiao.

This publicity campaign is even more explosive than her long-planned weight loss of 100 pounds without ever showing her face or even having any photos!
"Director Jia, that's not right of you. You can thank us, but Chen Mo didn't come. Why are you thanking him?" Zhang Yuqi joked.

"Huh? Haha, it's all the same, it's all the same!" She couldn't help but wipe away non-existent cold sweat.

In fact, the trending topics had already exploded long ago.

This is the mobile internet era, where efficiency is paramount.
