This director is vindictive.

Chapter 397 The Production Team's Donkey Criticism Meeting

On Valentine's Day, "Space Odyssey" had far more screenings than "Hot Pot" and "Pegasus 2"!
Especially after the pre-sale box office exploded, theaters increased the number of screenings of "Space Odyssey".

However, as the topic exploded and everyone started talking about the film, its exposure naturally increased dramatically.

Moreover, "Space Odyssey," or rather Chen Mo's "Chinese Wedding Attire Series," has become a special ritual for Valentine's Day.

This movie is almost always the first choice for couples to watch on this day.

In fact, whether the film is good or not, or whether it is interesting or not, has become a secondary matter.

On Valentine's Day, the daily box office broke records again, reaching a staggering 4 million yuan, leaving many people exclaiming that it was outrageous.

After all, "A Space Odyssey" isn't exactly a proper movie; it's just, as netizens have said, Chen Mo's large-scale Versailles-style film.

But the audience was too enthusiastic, complaining while buying tickets.

Of course, Chen Mo was also riding high on his success, and a night of revelry was naturally on his side.

However, it's easy to imagine that this is just a short-lived celebration, since it doesn't have a plot like a movie.

After the surge on Valentine's Day, the box office performance will definitely start to weaken, but Chen Mo didn't have high expectations for the subsequent box office results anyway.

Actually, compared to Jing Tian's "The Phoenix Brings Auspiciousness" and Zhao Liying's "Flying Swordsman", Yang Mi's "Space Odyssey" is two years apart.

Time is sometimes not a big problem, but sometimes it really is.

Some bored netizens speculated based on the release schedules of "The Phoenix Brings Auspiciousness", "The Flying Swordsman", and "Space Odyssey".

"The Phoenix Brings Auspiciousness" will be released on February 14, 2021.

"The Flying Swordsman" will be released on December 12, 2021!
Space Odyssey will be released on February 14, 2024!
Then there are four left!
Following this logic, the last one will take at least eight years, meaning the fairy sister will have to wait until 2032!
Some netizens even joked that it would be a real "middle-aged wedding".

After all, the current "Fairy Sister" can still be described as a mature and elegant woman, but by 2032, she will truly be over 40.

As a result, this netizen's joke instantly attracted a large number of fans of the "Fairy Sister" to Chen Mo's Weibo to complain.

"No, even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare rest like this. If we really wait until 2032, then it will be too late!"

"No problem. These angelic ladies and mature women at this stage, if we really go to 2032, won't they become angelic aunties?"

"Chen Mo, you bastard, can't you be a little quicker?"

"Let's just not do it then!"

The fans of the "Fairy Sister" were extremely excited. After all, the "Fairy Sister" belonged to everyone, but Chen Mo took her back.

That's not all, this guy is also a scumbag.

Okay, that's still better than that guy from South Korea, but in the end, this scumbag actually did something inhuman. Goodness, we'll have to wait eight years to see him do it.

Then, #LiuYifei's 2032 Wedding Countdown: 2987 Days#
#From Fairy Sister to Fairy Aunt#
It was immediately trending on social media by netizens who love silly things.

Good heavens, this is truly amazing. The fact that "Space Odyssey" dominated Valentine's Day was already enough to make other films released in the same period suffer.

After all, the Spring Festival film season is only seven days long, and they've already taken up one day of it. They were thinking that once Valentine's Day was over, they could start to re-enter the market, but suddenly they've appeared again.

And it went straight for the top spot on the trending searches.

The uproar isn't just among Liu Yifei's fans; even among Chen Mo's harem, Gao Yuanyuan and Fan Binbin are older.

Immediately, their fans followed Liu Yifei's fans and began to complain about Chen Mo's "snail's pace"!
It was originally just the opinion of netizens and fans, but what they said turned out to be true.

As mentioned earlier, a wedding is of utmost importance to any woman.

They had already prepared for no wedding, so it didn't matter since they had no expectations.

However, Chen Mo brought it up, which naturally made them start looking forward to their own weddings.

Even though it's just a "promotional video," to them it's no different from a real wedding.

From the moment "The Phoenix Brings Auspiciousness" began, they started to dream about their own wedding ceremony.

Originally, we were just waiting, there's always a first-come, first-served order, but seeing the discussions among netizens...

Suddenly, they all couldn't sit still anymore.

Sure enough, they all came rushing over without saying a word.

As it turned out, they all happened to arrive at Chen Mo's place at the same time. "Sister Binbin? Are you here to get our donkey to pull the millstone faster too?" Zhang Yuqi, that fierce woman, blurted out.

"Your description is really apt!" Fan Binbin paused for a moment after hearing Zhang Yuqi's words, then couldn't help but smile.

“Isn’t that right? Jing Tian and Zhao Liying were only a few months apart, but Yang Mi was separated by two years. If this continues at this pace, Zhang Yuqi said indignantly.

Before Zhang Yuqi could finish speaking, the villa door was pushed open again, and Gao Yuanyuan and Liu Yifei walked in one after the other. Gao Yuanyuan was still holding her phone, the screen displaying the trending topic #LiuYifei2032WeddingCountdown#. She raised an eyebrow at the two people already in the living room: "Oh, looks like our 'production team donkey' is going to have a denunciation meeting today?"

"He deserves to be criticized!" Zhang Yuqi said indignantly.

Although she was remarried, she had long since treated her previous husband as if he never existed.

And she's next; she can't wait for someone to start counting down the years.

“That’s right, there’s no room for negotiation this time! Yifei, Sister Yuanyuan, you can’t be soft-hearted!” Zhang Yuqi suddenly started to unite the two sides again.

"You're in a hurry? I'm even more anxious than you. I'm quite a bit older than you." Although Gao Yuanyuan is usually not competitive, she was naturally getting a little anxious at this point.

Liu Yifei followed suit, saying, "I'm the last one, and of course I hope it's sooner. Do we really have to wait until 2032? Then it'll really be Auntie and Uncle getting married!"

"Clap clap clap! Listen to me, sisters, once our production team's donkey arrives, we must get a definite answer from them. But before that, let's discuss this first," Fan Binbin said, clapping her hands.

"Let me start by saying that the troublesome part of our wedding is the lack of creativity. However, I've already come up with some ideas. Yang Mi is going to have a space wedding, right? It's all about going to heaven and earth." Zhang Yuqi hadn't finished speaking yet.

Fan Binbin couldn't help but interrupt, "Going underground? You're really going to have a wedding in the underworld?"

Zhang Yuqi was stunned and quickly waved her hands and shook her head, saying, "No way! I meant going underwater! Underwater! An underwater-themed wedding!"

"That's great! We can get some marine life, like whales bringing blessings, dolphins welcoming brides, or even a mermaid," Gao Yuanyuan nodded in agreement.

“Yes! And what about you guys? Have you decided on a theme yet?” Zhang Yuqi asked.

"I've made up my mind. I'll just throw a 'Grand Empress Wedding' for him! I'll arrange all the dragon robes and phoenix carriages for him, and he'll obediently become my 'Emperor's Husband'!" Fan Binbin said domineeringly.

"Wow, Sister Binbin, that's great! Hahaha, we'll have to dress Chen Mo up a bit more 'pretty' then!" Zhang Yuqi couldn't help but laugh.

"Then we'll give Chen Mo a peach blossom makeup look and put a phoenix crown on him, so he can experience what it's like to 'get married'!" She became more and more excited as she spoke, gesturing as she spoke.

"He should ride in a sedan chair in the wedding procession, while we'll go pick him up on horseback!"

The others imagined the comical scene of Chen Mo being made up and dressed in a wedding gown, and they all burst into laughter.

Fan Binbin raised an eyebrow and added, "As for the specific procedures... of course, we'll have to leave it to our 'Emperor' to figure out himself, after all, he's a 'wedding professional'!"

That's right! This is the third time already! Nobody has more experience than him!
"Sister Yuanyuan, what about you? What about you? Have you thought it through?" Zhang Yuqi looked at Gao Yuanyuan again.

Gao Yuanyuan rested her chin on her hand, looking somewhat troubled: "Not yet! Why don't you guys help me think of something?"

“Didn’t Chen Mo and Zhao Liying do a fantasy romance before? Why don’t you just do a prehistoric marriage?” Zhang Yuqi suggested.

"Isn't it a bit too similar? A prehistoric marriage is similar to a fantasy novel, isn't it? It lacks originality. We can't let him get away with it so easily," Fan Binbin said, shaking his head.

“Oh really? Then I’m out of ideas.” Zhang Yuqi shrugged.

Zhang Yuqi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she excitedly pointed at Gao Yuanyuan's cheongsam outfit today, saying, "I've got it! Yuanyuan, you look amazing in that cheongsam today! How about we do a 'Republic of China era' theme? The bustling Bund, the Paramount Ballroom, you play the warlord's wife, and Chen Mo wears a long gown as a schoolteacher, or you can just dress up as a warlord leader!"

She got more and more excited as she spoke, gesturing wildly: "When the time comes, we'll get an old-fashioned car, and all of us sisters will wear cheongsams as dowry maids—no, a group of concubines! Red lanterns will hang all over the house, the accountant will be calculating the dowry money with an abacus, and we'll hire a bunch of newsboys to scatter wedding invitations all over the streets."

Fan Binbin suddenly covered his mouth and laughed: "I've already thought of the lines for the wedding night scene where Director Chen kneels on an abacus—'Master, the newly acquired ninth concubine has come to serve you tea!'"

Her deliberately drawn-out tone made everyone burst into laughter.

Gao Yuanyuan's ears turned red, but she couldn't help but nod: "It seems... really possible? Like the style of 'In the Mood for Love,' with the cheongsam slit up to here amidst the flickering candlelight—" She gestured to the mid-thigh.
"Cough! Cough!" Suddenly, two coughs were heard.

All four women looked toward the direction from which the coughing sound came from the stairwell.

Who else could it be but Chen Mo?

In fact, Chen Mo had already been there for a while, but he was curious about what they were discussing, so he didn't come down immediately.

But they kept going on and on, saying things like kneeling on an abacus.

He coughed twice, interrupting their discussion.
