This director is vindictive.

Chapter 463 Chen Mo: You guys started it, don't blame me for losing my temper!
In fact, the influence and appeal of 10 billion yuan in real money is truly exaggerated.

Most importantly, many netizens believe that this 1 billion yuan is just Chen Mo giving out red envelopes to everyone. After all, a box office of 10 billion yuan is really unreliable!
But the more this happens, the more people participate. Although the number of participants is not increasing as fast as before, it is still increasing by millions every day.

Meanwhile, the directors of the other films released in the same period are now kicking themselves.

why?
As we enter the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, the Spring Festival is drawing ever closer.

This year's Spring Festival film season is exceptionally lively, and the key point is that the premieres of each of them have already been scheduled.

Only then did they realize that Chen Mo also had the title of Yin-Yang Master!
This thing has been thoroughly played with by netizens for a long time, making Chen Mo afraid to speak casually for a long time.

But unfortunately, this thing is really more trouble than it's worth!
What's more, this time, they directly criticized Chen Mo in his face. If Chen Mo were to open his mouth again and make a few sarcastic comments, he would really be in big trouble!
Moreover, although everyone is talking about business this time, and it's all very standard business practice, it's perfectly normal for competitors to smear each other during the same period.

So here's the question: if that's the case, wouldn't it be normal for Chen Mo to go all out and increase their intensity as well?
Wuershan was secretly relieved. His "Fengshen Part 2" had nothing to do with Chen Mo, and he could easily not invite Chen Mo to the premiere. So Chen Mo shouldn't be trying to kill him from afar, right?
Tsui Hark is similar. The main investors in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Hero" are Huaying and Hengcheng, and they don't have much to do with Chen Mo. He can be invited or not.

However, Chen Sicheng was in a bit of an awkward situation. Chen Mo and Wanda had a close working relationship and were actually quite acquainted. It would be unreasonable not to invite Chen Mo, but if he did, one could imagine that given Chen Mo's personality, he would probably give "Detective Chinatown 1900" a hard time.
This is truly terrible.

Therefore, he has decided not to invite Chen Mo this time.

However, as several films announced their premiere dates, netizens' gossip-loving genes were once again activated!

There's no way around it, it's the Spring Festival film season. What premiere news can compare to the gossip-loving public's staple program: Master Chen's Yin-Yang film reviews?

Therefore, netizens began to express their anticipation and make fun of the situation.

"The melon seeds and popcorn are ready, we're just waiting to enjoy the show. Chen Mo hasn't shown off his Yin-Yang Master skills in a long time, so he'll have to go all out this time, won't he?"

“No problem. They weren’t so polite to you @ChenMo before, so this time, Master, don’t hold back either, go all out with your Yin and Yang!”

"I'm worried they won't dare invite Chen Mo. After all, those who know, know!"

"It's okay, Chen Mo can just watch from afar. Isn't there a preview screening? If Chen Mo doesn't participate, I'll look down on you!"

Netizens are all sharpening their knives in anticipation.

There's no way around it. Although there are plenty of entertainment options these days, gossiping, especially about a big scandal like Chen Mo's, is definitely more fun than scrolling through short videos!

Meanwhile, on the set of "The Great Tang Dynasty".

Chen Mo was busy filming; in fact, filming for this movie was nearing its end.

"Alright, take a half-hour break!"

It was extremely cold today, and Chen Mo was also wrapped in a thick cotton-padded coat. After all, filming outdoors is really cold!

As a result, Huang Bo, Zhang Yi, and Tong Liya all came over.

"Is there something you guys need?" Chen Mo asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Director Chen, we came here to ask for leave," Huang Bo said with a smile.

"Is it to attend the premiere?" Chen Mo immediately realized.

“Yes, Ya Ya is going to the premiere of ‘Detective Chinatown 1900’, and I’m going to ‘The Second Part of Fengshen’. Lao Zhang, oh, right, Lao Zhang, where are you going?” Huang Bo looked at Zhang Yi with some confusion.

“I’m going to watch ‘Operation Jiaolong’!” Zhang Yi said speechlessly.

Huang Bo was one of the main actors in "Fengshen 2", so it's normal for Tong Liya to attend her ex-husband's movie premiere.

As for Zhang Yi, he previously starred in "Operation Red Sea". Although he didn't appear in "Operation Jiaolong" this time, there must be some connection between them, so it's perfectly normal for him to attend the premiere of "Operation Jiaolong".

“Then go ahead, we’re almost done filming anyway. We won’t bother with any more work during the Spring Festival. We can finish filming some more scenes after the New Year and then wrap up the whole show!” Chen Mo said with a smile.

After Chen Mo finished speaking, Zhang Yi wanted to leave, but he found that Tong Liya and Huang Bo hadn't left. His gossipy nature got the better of him, and he stopped rushing to leave.

Chen Mo asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is there something else you need?"

Huang Bo coughed and said, "By the way, director, well, I'm the lead actor in 'Fengshen 2,' so please go easy on me!"

Chen Mo gave Huang Bo a strange look. To be honest, Brother Bo has indeed been filming less these past few years, but Chen Mo really doesn't know what he was thinking about Wu Er Shan's "Fengshen" series.

The main problem is that this movie was just made haphazardly!
"And what about you? Sister Ya Ya, you're not here to plead for 'Detective Chinatown 1900,' are you?" Chen Mo asked Tong Liya curiously.

To be honest, he's actually quite gossipy, for example, about Tong Liya and her ex-husband.

I, Tong Liya, suddenly found myself at a loss for words.

"Hahaha! So that's what you were planning! But netizens are really looking forward to Director Chen's performance as the Yin-Yang Master! To be honest, I'm quite looking forward to it too!" Zhang Yi said, clearly eager to stir up trouble.

The result, naturally, drew speechless looks from Huang Bo and Tong Liya.

I never expected you to be like this, Zhang Yi.

"You're overthinking it, they didn't even invite me to the premiere!" Chen Mo said with a smile, spreading his hands. "Huh? No way? Chen Sicheng and Wanda didn't invite you?" Zhang Yi's eyes lit up.

God knows why he was so excited.

"I guess they're afraid I'll cause them trouble!" Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh.

He really didn't care whether he was invited to the premiere or not.

But seeing Zhang Yi's reaction, he couldn't help but smile.

I never expected Zhang Yi to be so gossipy.

However, Huang Bo and Tong Liya looked at each other somewhat bewildered.

"However, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. I've been holding this in for a long time! Now I can finally speak up legitimately!" Chen Mo said, stroking his chin.

"Director Chen, please go easy on me!" Huang Bo said, clasping his hands together.

Because of her ex-husband, Tong Liya was still a bit shy, but she couldn't help but worry about him.

"Brother Bo, don't worry, how could I not give you face? I will absolutely not contradict the 'Investiture of the Gods' this time!" Chen Mo said with a smile.

Yes, he was telling the truth, because there's really no point in criticizing that terrible movie; you can just give it a direct review.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Mo's status would make it inappropriate for him to comment on other people's movies, but this time, it's completely different.

Previously, I made a prediction about 10 billion, and you all jumped on it so enthusiastically. So, it would be impolite not to return the favor. Therefore, Chen Mo doesn't need to worry at all this time!
In fact, the film industry has always had its own unspoken rules. Most of the time, directors rarely comment on their competitors' works publicly.

In other circumstances, if someone doesn't invite you to the premiere, and Chen Mo disregards this and publicly makes sarcastic comments about their film in his own name, then it would indeed be breaking the rules.

But this time it's really different!

The previous prediction of billions and their collective attack on Chen Mo are still fresh in our minds.

Just look at the reactions from netizens now.

If you can all criticize Chen Mo, wouldn't it be just as good for Chen Mo to fight back?

What? A 10 billion bet is a counterattack?
No, that was Chen Mo's own strategy, and it had nothing to do with them.

Moreover, with such enthusiasm and high level of engagement from the crowd, how could Chen Mo possibly let them down?
Huang Bo was truly on the verge of tears. Although Chen Mo said that, he still felt that something was not quite right.

Zhang Yi, being an outsider, immediately laughed: "Director Chen, you're not going to become a film critic this time, are you?"

It's not yin or yang, but it's direct, which is even more outrageous!

Huang Bo looked at Chen Mo with a resentful expression.

Tong Liya is still a bit shy. Although she was a little worried about her ex-husband, she didn't say anything more.

After all, Chen Mo's counterattack was perfectly justified.

Why is it that only officials are allowed to set fires while ordinary people are forbidden to light lamps?
Is Chen Mo so easy to bully?
Moreover, there's something really strange about it: Chen Mo wasn't the director of "Ne Zha" at all!
So you see, he's not commenting on the film from the perspective of the director of "Ne Zha" at all!
at the same time.

Actually, Chen Sicheng was also quite helpless.

Although he is quite confident about this year's "Detective Chinatown 1900", after all, the movie has a lot of hype.

Unfortunately, the poor reception of "Detective Chinatown 3" diminished the impact of the sequel.

However, after receiving Tong Liya's call, he was completely distraught.

"Did he really say that?" Chen Sicheng asked.

"Yes, you guys criticized him first. He said this time it was the people's request!" Tong Liya didn't know why, but when she heard her ex-husband's somewhat depressed voice on the other end of the phone, she felt quite complicated. She found it funny, but also couldn't help feeling a little pleased.

"Damn it, why the hell did I have to provoke him!" Chen Sicheng slapped himself in frustration.

Yes, he did have some regrets at that moment.

After all, they really were in the wrong this time!

Chen Mo's claim of 10 billion yuan in box office revenue is perfectly reasonable. After all, if Chen Mo can make that claim, so can you!
But as it turned out, Chen Mo only made a box office prediction, and wow, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest. He was immediately attacked by a group of people!

Putting himself in Chen Mo's shoes, Chen Sicheng felt that even if he were Chen Mo, he wouldn't let such an opportunity pass him by.

He never underestimated Chen Mo's influence and deterrent power.

His mouth can influence box office numbers quite a bit!
