This director is vindictive.

Chapter 105 This world is so magical, I almost believed it

Chen Mo really felt that this was a bad idea that was impossible to achieve.

How much does a commercial performance for a big star like Aaron Kwok or Leung Ka Fai cost during the Spring Festival? At least double the price, right?

Even ordinary people’s overtime pay during this holiday season should be multiplied several times, right?
So even if Li Ming and Zhang Yibai are willing, can they be willing?
"Hahaha! Director Chen is worrying too much!" Suddenly, Big Dog Brother Li Ming laughed heartily and said.

"Although it is indeed a bit difficult, they have to cooperate in roadshows and promotions across the country. It's just that the model has changed." Zhang Yibai also said with a smile.

At this time, a voice interrupted.

"Director Chen is truly a publicity genius! This idea is truly brilliant!"

The person who came was Liang Jiahui. He had come over at some point, heard their conversation, and interrupted with a smile.

"We are actors and we work for pay, so publicity is included in it!" Liang Jiahui said with a smile.

"Director Chen, thank you so much. You really helped us a lot!" Zhang Yibai extended his hand gratefully and held Chen Mo's hand tightly with both hands.

It can be seen that he really thinks Chen Mo's idea is very good.

Chen Mo looked at Li Ming again, then at Liang Jiahui, and then at the rich young woman. Forget it, he didn't look at her anymore.

Anyway, he had a ridiculous feeling. What the hell, you just believed what I said?

He suddenly felt a little regretful. Is this really such a big deal?
Looking at the admiring and grateful eyes of the crowd, Chen Mo had some doubts for a moment. Could he really be a publicity genius?
As a result, Zhang Yibai actually called all the leading actors of the crew over as soon as possible.

Then he said, "Director Chen just gave us a promotional suggestion for our movie. Chairman Li and I both think it's very good. We just need your cooperation in the promotion. That's it."

As Zhang Yibai was speaking, Chen Mo was observing the expressions of the leading actors, but the result really left him dumbfounded.

Because these actors were all either surprised, impressed, or excited, and no one frowned.

Are actors so dedicated these days? Or are actors' acting skills so good these days? Even a director like me can't spot any flaws.

During the Spring Festival, don’t you need to make money by performing commercial performances? Chen Mo really couldn’t understand it.

In fact, this is also because Chen Mo returned from the future to this era. In this era, actors are actually much more dedicated than those stars in the future.

And behind this movie are Pony.com and China Film Group!
Then, each actor said that they would try their best not to miss roadshows and the like.

Anyway, it’s hard to review movies these days. You say “It Gets Better: Village Night” is a bad movie, no one denies it, but what about “101 Marriage Proposals”?

Is it a bad movie?
But the latter is even more exaggerated. Chen Mo remembers it very clearly. On the one hand, the person was being criticized, but on the other hand, he became the biggest winner of Valentine's Day. Who the hell can he go to for justice?

I can only say that the domestic film market these days is really magical.

However, what are you afraid of?

Chen Mo just gave a bad suggestion to "Getting Better: Village Evening", and as a result, Huang Bo invited Chen Mo to attend the premiere of "101 Marriage Proposals".

The key point is that the news that Chen Mo provided publicity to that side was also leaked.

As a result, many people, including Huang Bo, were just going for it regardless of whether there was a chance or not.

What is your feeling after watching "101 Marriage Proposals"? I just feel like Lin Zhiling is blind.

Do I even need to choose between Gao Yuxiang and Huang Bo?
Of course, it is not directed at the actors themselves, but at the huge difference in their appearance.

To put it bluntly, if this movie was released 10 years later, Chen Mo would have lost if the movie hadn't been criticized to death. Even though Huang Bo was the best actor at that time, he still couldn't be more handsome in the movie.

But that's the magic part. This movie actually became the runner-up in the Spring Festival box office, so it's hard to comment on it.

Originally, Chen Mo didn't bother to pay attention. After all, apart from Huang Bo, whom he knew, he was not familiar with the other people in this movie. However, Lin Zhiling's voice was so coquettish that it made him feel numb.

He also liked to bump into people while dribbling the ball, which made Chen Mo call fouls. Unfortunately, the referee was blind, so Chen Mo could only be fouled continuously.

In addition, Huang Bo kept begging humbly, so Chen Mo thought, it’s one sheep or a flock of sheep anyway, so he might as well make up a story.

"Actually, what's the main theme of '101 Marriage Proposals'? It's about a loser turning into a rich and beautiful woman! So I think we could make a promotional video based on 'Love Is Not Blind'.

Teach the majority of losers how to find a girlfriend, with titles like "Why Can't Losers Find Girlfriends" and "Diaosi PK Tall, Rich and Handsome Guys."

Chen Mo spoke without hesitation, saying that he was not worried about having too many debts anyway.

He didn't know whether it was useful or not.

But how does one say it? After entering the Pass, there will be great scholars who will debate the classics for me.

Ever since Chen Mo has created box office myths continuously, and publicity and marketing are considered to have the greatest credit, he has been dubbed the "publicity genius" and "the number one in film publicity and marketing". It seems that everything he says can be regarded as a criterion.

This time is no exception.

Lin Zhiling's foul was even more direct. She bumped into people while dribbling the ball and used noise to interfere. The key point was that no one cared, which made Chen Mo very angry.

Chen Mo could imagine that if he wanted to, he could just hit the ball and score a goal at night.

However, fortunately, Chen Mo is an honest and trustworthy young man. How could he be such a person?

Afterwards, an even more magical scene appeared.

As for "Getting Better: Village Gala", actually before the Spring Festival, King Guo and Film Emperor Leung led the team to hold a series of "real version of village gala" in several cities across the country!
As a result, Chen Mo's bad idea actually received a good response.

It won huge applause, especially because they really did not go to any shopping malls or the core areas of the city. Instead, they took a different approach and, as Chen Mo said, went to some urban villages and some gathering places for migrant workers who could not return home to perform.

According to media reports, this propaganda is very targeted.

"As the Spring Festival approaches, 'Getting Better: Village Evening' brings warmth to migrant workers."

"Celebrities from across Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong join forces to bring 'Getting Better Village Evening' to the urban villages!"

"The publicity genius is truly worthy of his name. The search index for 'Getting Better: Village Evening' has skyrocketed!"

He even praised Chen Mo again for proposing this publicity suggestion.

Chen Mo's face was full of question marks, he couldn't figure it out, how the hell is this possible?

Especially when Zhang Yibai excitedly called to thank and tell Chen Mo that the recent publicity had been very successful and the exposure had increased dramatically. Anyway, with all the thanks, Chen Mo felt that this world was too bizarre.

However, even more bizarre things are yet to come.

The "101 Marriage Proposals" team followed Chen Mo's suggestion and produced two "Loser" micro-films: "Why Can't Losers Find Girlfriends" and "Loser vs. Rich and Handsome." These films offered advice to the "loser" crowd with a touch of humor and spoof. The combined power of these two films garnered over million hits in just a few days.

Chen Mo felt that strange things happened every year, but there were especially many this year. Is this even possible?

Then, Chen Mo once again lived up to his reputation as a publicity genius.

See how the media reports it.

"The publicity genius has come up with another surprising tactic. '101 Marriage Proposals' has teamed up with publicity genius Chen Mo to create a new model and open up a new classic case of film and brand joint marketing. They have innovatively implemented the inverted promotion model of 'micro-film before the main film is released'. By using the emotional line of 'romance begins when meeting' that matches the main film, they have built momentum for the film. Before the main film is released, the micro-film has become popular!"

"A Midas Touch, a publicity genius. One good idea is worth a thousand troops! "Getting Better: Village Evening" and "101 Marriage Proposals" have both worked wonders, Chen Mo's reputation as a genius is well-deserved!"

Good guy, really good guy!

Chen Mo was completely confused and couldn't help asking himself: Am I really a publicity genius?
He almost believed it himself.

However, with the arrival of the Spring Festival.

"It's Getting Better: Village Evening" was released on February 2, the first day of the Chinese New Year, competing with Stephen Chow's blockbuster "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". On the first day of its release, it took in tens of millions in box office revenue. For two consecutive days thereafter, it even had tens of millions in box office revenue. It was outrageous. It was outrageous to the extreme.

This kind of box office may not be very good for other movies, but you can tell what this movie is just by looking at the title. Not surprisingly, the movie's score on Douban is only less than 5 points, which can be said to be directly labeled as a bad movie.

But the box office was surprisingly good.

However, according to offline surveys, many of the main audiences of "Getting Better: Village Evening" are migrant workers, which makes it difficult to evaluate.

It is difficult for many people to understand, but a migrant worker who was interviewed said that the reason they came to watch this movie was purely because during the Spring Festival, the leading stars of "It's Getting Better: Village Gala" presented a down-to-earth "Spring Festival Gala" for them, the migrant workers who stayed in foreign places and could not return home, for free, which moved them very much!
So many people spontaneously bought tickets to support this movie.

What’s even more outrageous is yet to come.

On the "101 Marriage Proposals" side, after tasting the sweetness of the two micro-films "Loser's Counterattack" and "Loser's Tutorial on Getting Out of Singleness" which received extremely high clicks and became popular before the main film was released, this year's Valentine's Day coincided with the Spring Festival holiday, forcing many unmarried couples to separate and have short-term long-distance relationships, and also allowing some couples who had been separated for a long time to reunite briefly.

In order to cast a wide net to attract audiences, the other party unexpectedly came up with another surprising tactic, and launched a national confession of long-distance relationships, inviting all-amateur actors to appear in the film to tell the story of "those things in long-distance relationships" from a real perspective. The film has been online for less than a week and the number of clicks has exceeded 1000 million.

This time it will be very familiar to everyone, after all, the urban version of "Love Is Not Blind" "Love Is Not Blind" was played in the same way.

Therefore, everyone directly attributed this to Chen Mo, the publicity genius. The crew of "101 Marriage Proposals" also made it clear that they were inspired by Chen Mo to launch such a promotional video.

"101 Marriage Proposals" was released on the 12th, the third day of the Chinese New Year, and the total box office in three days reached 7200 million!
The most important thing is that the box office on Valentine's Day was as high as 4350 million! It also set a new record for the box office of Valentine's Day romance films!
However, Chen Mo, an outsider, was called the biggest contributor to the box office success of "101 Marriage Proposals".

Because of this movie, the reputation is not that good. Although it is better than "It's Getting Better: Village Night", it is really limited.

But the result is so magical, it just grabbed a piece of the fattest piece of meat during the Spring Festival on Valentine's Day.

The huge success of two consecutive "bad movies" has made Chen Mo's reputation as a publicity genius completely solid, to the point where it cannot be torn off.

What could Chen Mo say? He was also confused, okay?
In Chen Mo's hometown, ever since the bad movies "Getting Better: Village Evening" and "101 Marriage Proposals" accidentally got high box office due to publicity (according to the industry), Chen Mo was fed up with it and went back to his hometown and started to live a lazy life.

He even gave the excuse that he was in seclusion writing scripts, and finally he had calmed down.

He really wrote the script. He promised the rich woman "My Love from the Star", but in fact, the outline of the script had been written a long time ago and was currently being handed over to the company's screenwriter team to fill in the content.

Actually, these days, even though the movies he made have good box office results, in reality, when it comes to making money, he is not as good as making TV series.

Especially the popular TV series, they really make money.

For example, "My Love from the Star". With Chen Mo's current status, if it is not sold at a sky-high price, it would be unworthy of his status as a billion-dollar director.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that filming a TV series is easier than filming a movie. It’s really not.

Especially when it comes to producing a high-quality product, it is actually no easier than making a movie.

Then, the rich young lady came over, she really couldn't wait.

Although she didn't urge Chen Mo, she couldn't stand running to his hometown.

The most important thing is that after she came, my mother became a completely different person and she couldn't stand him anymore.

"You can't sleep at night and you can't get up in the morning?"

"You don't do housework, you don't wash clothes, are you so lazy at home?"

Anyway, he just dislikes her in every way, but he treats the rich woman much better than he treats his own son.

However, this was not what Chen Mo could not stand the most. What Chen Mo could not stand the most was that Xiao Zhao somehow found out about the rich woman coming to Chen Mo's house to meet her "parents".

Then, Chen Mo felt even worse because Xiao Zhao also came to kill him.

Of course, she said she was here to have fun with the rich lady.

But Chen Mo always felt that every time his mother looked at him, she was as if she wanted to stab him.

However, these two are fine, but Fan Binbin, for some reason, also came to join in the fun, saying that he just stopped by to take a look.

This time my mother was furious.

"Tell me honestly, what's going on?" Mom asked seriously as she pulled Chen Mo into the room.

"What's going on?" Chen Mo felt a little guilty.

"First it was Tiantian, then it was Xiao Zhao, and now even this Fan Binbin has come. What are you thinking? How could your dad, a guy who can't even fart when beaten with a stick, give birth to someone like you?" Mom didn't curse in the end.

After all, if she really scolded him, she would be scolding herself as well.

"Ahem, Mom, listen to my argument, no, listen to my explanation." Chen Mo said with a shameless face.

"Okay, I don't care about anything else, but this Fan Binbin is not good enough." Mom interrupted Chen Mo and said.

"Why?" Chen Mo was a little confused. Don't get me wrong, he was just curious.

But my mother rolled her eyes and said, "It's not that I have any prejudice against the entertainment industry. Look at Tiantian and Xiao Zhao. I didn't say anything about you, but this Fan Binbin, although he looks like he has a big butt and is good at giving birth, he doesn't look like a quiet person. I don't want to see my daughter-in-law in the news every day, saying what she did with so-and-so."

Chen Mo really wanted to tell his mother that he had no plans to get married in this life, but he didn’t know if he would be beaten to death?

After all, even if ten years later, when the idea of ​​not getting married becomes popular, it will still be difficult for the older generation to accept it.

Not to mention now, Chen Mo is still the only child in the family. If he really dares to say it, well, he really doesn't dare to say it.

However, Chen Mo still asked curiously: "Then, Mom, which of these three do you think is the best?"

Just out of curiosity!

"Tiantian is the best. This child is stubborn and thinks about you all the time. Mom pulled your ears in front of her before. I felt like she almost wanted to fight with me at that time. Later, she actually told me not to pull your ears, saying it hurts." Mom couldn't help shaking her head and laughing as she spoke.

Chen Mo was a little embarrassed. Uh, this was very Jing Tian.

"Xiao Zhao is not bad, but she is a little too small. I am afraid it will be difficult for her to give birth. As for Fan Binbin, I won't say anything! No, you dead child, why didn't I realize that you had so many shady thoughts before?" After saying this, the mother couldn't help but grabbed Chen Mo's ear and scolded him.

Then, Chen Mo decisively picked up the bucket and ran away.

There was no other way. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid that Yang Mi might come and join in the fun, and then he would be completely doomed.

He could see that his mother had reached the limit of her patience. In the past few days, he had his ears pulled more times than in the whole of last year combined. Well, it was all when the rich young woman was not around.

When it was just Chen Mo and the little rich woman.

"Hehe, did you really tell my mom to stop pulling my ears? Aren't you afraid that she won't like you?" Chen Mo endured for a long time, but still couldn't help asking.

"No, my aunt likes me very much! Besides, your face was twisted in pain at that time, but my aunt told me that she would not pull your ears anymore." Jing Tian said seriously.

Chen Mo rolled his eyes and said, "Mom would only lie to a silly girl like you. She used to bother me a lot when you were not around."

"How do you know my mother likes you very much?" Chen Mo asked puzzledly.

The wealthy young woman was very happy, and she said with a bit of pride, counting on her fingers: "Because every time we eat, she is the first one to pick up food for me, and then for Liying. However, she seems to dislike Sister Binbin and never picks food for her."

"Anything else?" Chen Mo asked again. He really hadn't noticed these.

"Anything else? My aunt loves chatting with me. She first asked me what I like to eat, and then asked Xiao Zhao. And she also gave me this. Even Xiao Zhao doesn't have this." The rich woman raised her hand, revealing her fair and tender wrist with a string of beads on it.

That string of beads was just an ordinary bracelet. Chen Mo couldn't see anything precious about it.

But the rich young woman seemed unable to let it go.

She put away the priceless bracelet she used to wear and stopped wearing it.

The corners of Chen Mo's mouth twitched. Mom really knows how to stir up trouble. No wonder Xiao Zhao was so angry that he almost bit himself. It turned out to be all Mom's fault!
