This director is vindictive.

Chapter 385 The Dragon Ball Summoning Technique Has Finally Arrived
#The Seven Fairies Refusal to Be Dong Yong's Backdrop#
Fan Binbin's joking remarks on the spot were directly quoted by the media, and the topic's readership instantly exceeded 100 million.

Netizens are buzzing: "Chen Mo is just sitting at home, and headlines just fall from the sky."

"No wonder he's a marketing mentor—his absence is more eye-catching than his presence!"

"This is truly a trending topic that summoned Chen Mo by collecting all the Dragon Balls of Improvement! Attached: a group photo of the Seven Fairies!"

"That bastard Chen Mo deserves to die! No wonder nobody wants to get married these days. He's got so many high-quality women all to himself, and we're left with nothing but the leftovers?"

"All I want to say is, give me back my fairy sister, and you can do whatever you want with me!" This message was clearly posted by a male fan of the fairy sister!
"Didn't Sister Binbin say she was from a wealthy family? Her image has collapsed! Come back quickly, don't stay with that scumbag Chen Mo!"

The situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. The appearance of these seven women together not only propelled Chen Mo to the top of the trending searches, but also sparked a wave of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

After all, these seven were among the absolute top female celebrities in the entertainment industry, and yet Chen Mo managed to take them all down in one fell swoop.

Some netizens even went so far as to suggest that Chen Mo is the culprit behind the current decline in marriage rates.

That's not all. Gao Yuanyuan's actions also brought this actress, who had been absent from the film and television industry for a long time, back into the spotlight.

#Gao Yuanyuan's feints fooled all the reporters#
Gao Yuanyuan's act of pretending to discover Chen Mo's prank became a famous scene, and a wave of imitations quickly swept across short video platforms.

Entertainment commentator's comment: "Chen Mo's humor is contagious; even the most dignified Gao Yuanyuan has been corrupted!"

"Gao Yuanyuan's acting this time was absolutely award-winning! Sister, it's been so long since you've acted, don't really retire because of some scumbag!"

"That's right, Chen Mo is completely unqualified at being a master of impartiality. Jing Tian had 'Rattan' not long ago, and Zhao Liying, Fan Binbin, Yang Mi, Liu Yifei, and Zhang Yuqi all have works coming out, but my sister Yuanyuan hasn't had any works for a long time. Chen Mo, if you can't be fair, then just leave my sister alone!"

"What are all the production crews in the industry waiting for? Yuanyuan is such a high-quality actress, and you don't even offer her roles? You deserve to flop! You have no sense at all. Look, if you had invited Yuanyuan, wouldn't Chen Mo have shouted a few times to help you out?"

In fact, Chen Mo was somewhat taken aback when he saw this trending topic.

It seems that it really is!

The other women are still relatively active in the entertainment industry, but Gao Yuanyuan has practically retired.

Of course, this is also related to her own personality; she has rarely taken on acting roles since giving birth.

However, Chen Mo still planned to ask her later. With his current status in the entertainment industry and the resources of Shengshi Pictures, he would have no shortage of roles if he really wanted to act.

Getting back to the main topic, let's return to the premiere of "Hot and Spicy".

Jia Ling and New Classics Media were undoubtedly the happiest. Although their previous film, "Hi, Mom," was a huge success, no one knew whether this movie would be any better.

Despite the fact that "Hot and Spicy" may not seem like it has any particularly grand scenes, it's not really a low-budget film.

The overall cost of this movie is quite high!
They certainly understand the importance of film promotion, otherwise why would they be so eager to invite Chen Mo to endorse the film?
That's a walking news-making machine!
However, although Chen Mo didn't come tonight, Jia Ling knew from the trending topics that had already gone viral that this publicity campaign had been a success.

Even though she was completely overshadowed, she was still beaming with joy.

"Thank you, thank you!" Jia Ling clasped her hands together and kept expressing her gratitude.

"Haha, no need, you can just share your weight loss tips later!" Yang Mi blinked and said.

It has to be said that Jia Ling's successful weight loss has indeed made them very interested.

"Haha! You guys probably don't need that, right? You guys have the best figures in the industry." Jia Ling laughed and flattered him.

The premiere began soon after.

To put it simply, the movie "Hot and Spicy" is a film about a female underdog's rise to success.

To be honest, it's an inspirational story of a fat woman's struggle and triumph.

However, the film is also criticized for its inclusion of a sex scene.

It has to be said, though I hate to admit it, that sex scenes with fat women and sex scenes with fat men are completely different things.

To some extent, the film directly exposed the most unspeakable pain points of plus-size women.

After the premiere, Liu Yifei and the other seven goddesses once again successfully stole the spotlight by making their first public appearance after losing weight.

There's no way around it; Jia Ling can be interviewed anytime. Anyway, the movie is about to be released, and she'll definitely be doing a promotional tour. These seven women, if they were just one person, it wouldn't be a big deal, but for all seven of them to appear together and be interviewed together, that's really quite rare.

Therefore, after the premiere, Chen Mo's treatment was directly given to these seven people.

This was originally a regular part of Chen Mo's appearances at the premiere, but today, with seven of Chen Mo's female confidantes present, the same thing was seamlessly integrated into the event.

"Binbin, can you share your thoughts on this movie?" a reporter asked Fan Binbin.

Fan Binbin is certainly not Chen Mo, nor does she possess Chen Mo's influence or the physique of a Yin-Yang Master. Furthermore, Shengshi Pictures also invested in this film, so it's practically their own production, and therefore, the positive reception is likely to be positive.

Of course, although Chen Mo said she didn't like the movie, that was from a man's perspective. But from a woman's perspective, and having also struggled with "obesity" herself, she actually quite liked the movie.

Furthermore, before she met Chen Mo, she could be said to have resonated with Yue Ying in the film to some extent.

She took the microphone and said, "I'm not a professional film critic, just an ordinary viewer. Because I've also experienced a low point in my life, I especially like this movie."

One scene particularly moved me—the female protagonist walks back to her rented room step by step in the wind and rain. On each floor she goes up, a light turns on and off, just like the people and things she encounters in her life. Every effort she makes ends in vain, and every expectation she has is met with disappointment.

This long take, lasting several minutes, has a theatrical feel and also sets the stage for the film's biggest mystery: what exactly happened that night? That's why the ending, when it reveals the answer, is so impactful.

After the movie ended, Le Ying did not greet her parents and sister, did not hug her best friend, and did not reconcile with the man. All her family ties, friendships, and romantic relationships were scattered and forgotten. She ran forward alone in the dark night.

At that moment, I witnessed the birth of a powerful and free woman.

The reporters at the scene couldn't help but applaud.

Therefore, different perspectives and experiences lead to drastically different perceptions of a film.

Everyone is familiar with Fan Binbin's experience. She did experience a low point and was almost universally criticized online. However, she eventually made a powerful statement through her own efforts: "I am the elite!"

Therefore, her interpretation is indeed perfectly correct.

"Yang Mi, why didn't Director Chen come with you?" Yang Mi was also surrounded by reporters.

The first question has nothing to do with the movie.

She gently tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear and revealed her signature light smile: "He's been busy lately, overseeing the post-production of the Huayun promotional video. He's so busy he rarely even posts in our group chat."

After a pause, she added, "But seeing Jia Ling's transformation today, I think it's really beautiful to focus on being yourself, just like the movie says—'Win once, for yourself.'"

When reporters pressed her for details about the wedding, she shook her head and changed the subject: "This is someone else's premiere! If you do this, Director Jia will probably lose even more weight from anger!"

On Zhang Yuqi's side, the first question from the reporter was also about why Chen Mo didn't come.

Clearly, the reporters were still not giving up and wanted to take advantage of Chen Mo.

Zhang Yuqi wasn't as fierce this time. She raised an eyebrow at the camera with her signature bright red lips and asked, "Why do you guys keep asking men?"

He chuckled and looked at Jia Ling, saying, "I'd like to ask Jia Ling, did you ever secretly cry when you went from 200 pounds to 100 pounds?"

He then said seriously, "Let's talk about the movie. I think the most ruthless thing about this movie is not the weight loss, but that it shows everyone that fat girls also have desires, can feel pain, love, and anger—this is the true female narrative."

Many reporters secretly thought to themselves, "These women are too difficult to deal with!"
"You guys, why did you all ask Chen Mo the first question? I think you should have asked him a bit more, maybe you would have let something slip?" one reporter said.

They quickly squeezed over to Zhao Liying's side.

Zhao Liying, arms crossed, was seriously analyzing the film: "The dinner scene between Le Ying and her family reminded me of my time as a struggling artist in Beijing."

At this point, she suddenly burst out laughing: "Pfft, but I'm not as tolerant as her. If my relatives said I 'wouldn't get married,' I'd probably really flip the table on the spot."

At this moment, a reporter who had squeezed in suddenly asked, "Why didn't Chen Mo come? Does he not think highly of this movie?"

Zhao Liying glanced at the reporter. This sudden attack was nothing new to her, the queen of dramas who often faced unannounced interviews.

She blinked. "How could that be? If he didn't think it was a good idea, why would he send all seven of us? He's probably locked up in the editing room by the editors right now, isn't he?"

The reporter immediately wilted.

A colleague standing nearby couldn't help but laugh and tease, "You can't do that! I think you chose the wrong target. Zhao Liying is a veteran; this kind of surprise attack is nothing to her!"

"How did things go with Jing Tian just now? Did she reply?"

"No! I think it still has to be the fairy sister. She's a newcomer, so it should be easier to handle her!"

"Then you do it yourself if you're so good at it!" the reporter said irritably.

The accompanying reporters immediately focused on the "Fairy Sister".

There were also quite a few reporters surrounding the "Fairy Sister" for interviews.

She was discussing character development with a serious expression: "Those comments that say the sex scenes are sensational are ridiculous. Does that mean fat girls don't deserve erotic scenes? That's what makes Jia Ling so brave."

A reporter suddenly changed the subject, smiling as she pressed Liu Yifei, "I heard that Director Chen privately commented on 'Hot Hot Pot,' saying he didn't really like the movie. Is that true?"
