This director is vindictive.

Chapter 602 Are you sure you're my fan? And not my enemy?

Chen Mo's tango wasn't exactly professional; after all, he was just an amateur who had only recently started learning, and his steps occasionally showed some awkward pauses. But it was precisely this imperfection and rawness that, under the stage lights, made him appear exceptionally real and moving.

When he suddenly bit the red rose that appeared out of nowhere, the screams from the audience almost shook the night sky above Erhai Lake—the thorns on the rose stem even scratched a faint red mark on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't care at all, and just raised his eyebrows and smiled at the camera.

The live stream chat exploded instantly:
[Holy crap! Chen Mo's action of biting the rose is killer! Even his back teeth exude a roguish charm!]
[Help! The way he's pressing his tongue against the rose stem looks like he's filming an erotic movie (facepalm)]
[This man exudes hormones even from the third button of his sweat-soaked shirt!!]
What's even more amazing is the female fan who was randomly selected—she was so nervous that she was moving her arms and legs in unison, but the moment Chen Mo put his arm around her waist, she seemed to be switched on. With a swift movement, she tossed her head, her long hair sweeping across Chen Mo's arm, her high heels clicking across the stage in a tango rhythm. In the final frame, she suddenly turned around, a lip print stained with rose juice smeared on Chen Mo's collar, her eyes gleaming with the light of a mischievous triumph.

[The barrage of comments continues]

[Ahhh, that last glance back from the girl! From now on, all the tango heroines in novels will have faces!]
[I suggest all dance academies frame this video: How amateur dancers can completely outshine professional dancers with their sense of atmosphere]
[Chen Mo's ears turned red! Absolutely red! I could see it even with my 8x scope! (Screenshot highlighted)]
Reporters at the scene even threw down their cameras and joined in the screaming, while online viewers went so far as to start crowdfunding for dance class tuition—after all, who wouldn't want to learn this "rose kill" move and have a chance encounter at Erhai Lake?
The first wish is that this tango will become an eternal memory in the hearts of countless people.

The dance ended quickly.

The second lucky fan had a very interesting outfit.

Because he actually came to the fan meeting wearing dinosaur pajamas.

It looks ridiculous.

When it was his turn, the boy paused for two seconds, then suddenly used his dinosaur tail to sweep aside his neighbor and rush onto the stage, tripping over himself along the way.

Before Chen Mo could speak, the boy stuffed the candy into his mouth and chewed it with a crunching sound, his cheeks puffing out like a hamster.

"I cough cough!"

The boy choked on the sugar residue and his face turned bright red!

"Eat slowly, no rush!" Chen Mo said.

The boy swallowed the candy, then suddenly changed from his previous goofy demeanor, his eyes darting around rapidly.

Clearly, he hadn't decided what wish he wanted to make beforehand.

But for some reason, Chen Mo suddenly had a bad feeling.

Why? Because this person doesn't look like a good person at all. What good person can have such quick eyes?
Sure enough, the next moment, his wish almost made Chen Mo's old back hurt.

"I want to see Director Chen dance to 'Gokuraku Jodo'! Wearing this dinosaur costume!"

"Pfft!" Many people couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The screams from the audience nearly lifted the stage roof off. The moment Chen Mo's expression froze, the big screen suddenly cut to footage of the seven sisters dancing to "Gokuraku Jodo".

"Hahaha! This guy is really good at this!"

"Damn, Chen Mo is having such a hard time. It was one thing to dance the tango, but now he has to dance Gokuraku Jodo. The worst part is, this guy even picked out the dance costumes for Chen Mo."

"This generation of fans is too difficult to manage. Chen Mo, who is a movie actor, is not only required to know how to dance the tango, but also to know how to dance the Gokuraku Jodo dance!"

The audience erupted in laughter, and Chen Mo nearly stumbled and fell off the stage!
The fan who made the request was holding up a fluorescent green dinosaur onesie pajama, the tail of which even had a sound effect—it made a silly "woof" sound when squeezed. Simultaneously, the classic scene of the seven sisters dancing to "Gokuraku Jodo" appeared on the big screen, the snow-white long legs at the slit of the cheongsam forming a stark contrast with Chen Mo's bewildered face at this moment.

"Bro, are you trying to murder me?!" Chen Mo grabbed the ear tips of the dinosaur hat and poked his finger in front of the camera: "Can I even breathe while wearing this?" The audience erupted in a cacophony of howls and jeers, and one female fan laughed so hard she rolled off her chair.

The live stream chat exploded:

Holy crap, is this guy a hidden Avenger?

[Chen Mo: I thought at most I'd just need an autograph, but you've got to kill me.]

[Look at the big screen! The director photoshopped Chen Mo, who is dressed as a dinosaur, into the seven sisters' individual shots! (Screenshot: Dinosaur Chen Mo photoshopped into the center of the sister group)]

The staff member, trying not to laugh, handed over a dinosaur claw glove the size of a slipper. Chen Mo put it on, and the hind claw fell to the ground with a "thud." As he bent down to pick it up, the dinosaur's tail suddenly started swaying automatically. The sound engineer then played the intro to "Gokuraku Jodo" at just the right moment—and the whole audience burst into laughter.

One male reporter, while filming, wiped away tears, saying, "This footage is enough to keep me laughing until I retire."

"Alright! I'm going all out today!" Chen Mo suddenly slammed the dinosaur hat on his head and made a cross with his claws in front of his chest: "But first thing—no posting on TikTok if you mess up the moves!"

A marketing blogger in the audience trembled as they posted on Weibo: "Other idols spoil their fans by giving out red envelopes, but Chen Mo spoils his fans by contributing his embarrassing past. His fans are totally profiting! #Dinosaurs'DesperateCounterattack#"

The accompanying image shows Chen Mo with a bewildered expression, pulling on the dinosaur's tail that's stuck between his legs.

After finishing this abstract dance, Chen Mo looked utterly hopeless.

This caused the entire audience to burst into laughter again.

If Chen Mo dancing the tango "One Step Away" with the girl before was normal, then this second one is truly a scene of utter social humiliation.

Chen Mo could imagine that after the fan meeting ended, this video clip would probably go viral.

What he didn't know was that the thing had already completely exploded.

However, the third lucky fan was soon chosen.

Fortunately, the third movie fan was an IT guy wearing black-rimmed glasses.

As soon as the other person stepped onto the stage, Chen Mo said defensively, "Let's make this clear first, there's no dancing!"

The other person paused for a moment, then pushed up his glasses: "I work in artificial intelligence, could I... have a hug? I need a bit of good luck for work."

Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief, laughing and opening his arms wide. As the boy pounced on him, he suddenly pulled a circuit board from his backpack: "Actually, this is an AI chip developed by our team. Could you say something encouraging to it?" Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh out loud: "That's it? That's too simple!"

The entire audience was amused by this simple yet hardcore way of supporting their idols.

After taking the chip, Chen Mo suddenly stopped smiling and said to it seriously, "You must remember, don't be like AlphaGo, who only knows how to torture humans all day long. If you want to learn, learn from MOSS in 'The Wandering Earth' and protect human civilization properly—but don't imitate its rebellion later on!"

His deliberately stern face was particularly comical, and after speaking, he lightly flicked the chip, like he was disciplining a disobedient child. The audience laughed even louder, with someone slapping their thigh and shouting, "Director Chen, are you trying to teach AI a lesson?"

"Isn't it just about teaching AI how to be a human?"

This impromptu moment was captured in a short video and later became the chip company's startup voice message.

Of course, this is something.

Don't be fooled by the seemingly simple wish this IT guy made; anyone with eyes can see that this young man is about to become famous.

His company will also become popular, and Chen Mo's words and this video are the biggest proof of that.

In fact, some investors had already checked out this IT guy's information as soon as possible.

Putting everything else aside, the publicity and hype alone are off the charts. So this wish may seem simple, but in reality, it is anything but simple, and it is worth its weight in gold.

After all, this indirectly achieved something that no other company could do—hiring Chen Mo as a spokesperson!

Getting back to the main point, it was soon the turn of the fourth lucky moviegoer.

Chen Mo was actually a little surprised because the fourth fan was even wearing a food delivery uniform.

"Does this count as product placement?"

"No way? This event is sponsored by a certain group?"

"Shouldn't the advertising fees be settled?"

This was of course impossible, but the girl was indeed somewhat unexpected for Chen Mo.

But since they're already here, what they wear is their own business.

"Are you from here?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

The delivery girl blushed and nodded, then took out a small cake, about the size of her palm, from her backpack, with a crookedly placed "23" candle on it.

As she bent down to light the fire with a lighter, the rabbit ears on her helmet trembled: "Today is actually my birthday. I rushed here after finishing my last delivery; the delivery box is all warped from the jostling."

"I... I just want to celebrate my birthday here! Is that okay?"

"Of course!"

Chen Mo suddenly knelt down on one knee to look her in the eye, and snapped his fingers to the backstage area the moment he took the cake.

The lights in the entire venue suddenly dimmed, leaving only the candlelight illuminating the tip of the girl's nose, which was covered in beads of sweat.

Suddenly, the large screen began scrolling with real-time bullet comments, with tens of thousands of "Happy Birthday" messages forming a giant subtitle from an array of drones over Erhai Lake.

"Why did you choose to celebrate your birthday here?" Chen Mo asked curiously.

"Because, because, this is the first time in my 23 years that I've celebrated my birthday."

Clearly, this girl had a story, but Chen Mo didn't delve into it further.

"This is much more difficult than ensuring on-time delivery of takeout."

Chen Mo smiled, took off her helmet, and magically pulled a crumpled paper crown from behind the cake and put it on her head.

The cake wasn't big, and it was even squeezed and deformed.

But the smile and tears on the girl's face were real.

Chen Mo suddenly raised his voice: "Everyone, listen up! Turn on your phone flashlights right now!"

The shores of Erhai Lake were instantly transformed into a sea of ​​stars, and the online live stream was flooded with cakes, candles, and "Happy Birthday" messages.

"Happy birthday to you."

Chen Mo started singing Happy Birthday, and the whole audience sang along.

Many netizens online also spontaneously sang this blessing song across the internet.

"Ahhhhh! I'm so so happy!"

"This is probably a birthday that a girl will remember for a lifetime, right?"

"How romantic! The whole city is celebrating your birthday with you!"
