This director is vindictive.

Chapter 107: Chinese style is the coolest
Beijing, Century Hotel.

When the media reporters arrived at the venue, they were all a little surprised.

Because the venue for the costume launch of "My Love from the Star" was decorated as a long T-shaped stage.

Although they have attended many press conferences of this kind, they rarely play like this.

After all, if it is set up as a catwalk, there must be a catwalk, and the prerequisite for a catwalk is that the costumes of your play are eye-catching enough.

Of course, when we think about the fact that this is Chen Mo's drama, everyone suddenly thinks of "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together".

Chen Mo is indeed qualified. After all, he even conquered the fashion circle.

In fact, many media from the fashion circle were also invited today.

After all, Chen Mo had previously made a grand "designer" recruitment announcement, hiring so many designers at once, and according to the information they knew, there were many designers from well-known brands among them.

"Tsk tsk, do you think this marketing master will make some big news this time?" Some reporters started chatting before the press conference began.

"Of course I need to say that. The catwalk is already here. If he doesn't have a bit of confidence, do you think he'd dare to do this?"

"I noticed quite a few fashion journalists came today. I hope there will be some surprises."

"Haha, if we mess up, it will also be big news!"

The reporters chatted while waiting.

More than three hundred media reporters from all over the country came into the huge venue.

In fact, it also indirectly illustrates Chen Mo's current influence and the level of attention the drama "My Love from the Star" has received.

Suddenly, the lights in the entire venue dimmed and the big screen on the T-stage lit up.

A drop of ink falls into the water, creating ripples, and the ink's rhythm spreads along with the ripples.

Suddenly, the whole scene was filled with the sound of shutter clicks.

The exclamations of surprise that came one after another proved that this opening was amazing enough.

Jing Tian came out wearing a gradient long skirt. An ink painting was painted on the hem of her skirt with delicate brushstrokes. With just a few strokes, she outlined the layers of ink-colored mountains, as if they were looming in the clouds. The ink flowed like water as she walked, driving the hem of her skirt to sway, like a living "Fuchun Mountain Residence". She walked with light steps as if she had walked out of an ancient scroll, showing the elegance and tranquility of the East to the fullest. The most important thing is that this long skirt does not give people a redundant and bloated feeling, but has a simple, fashionable and modern feel.

The small bag she was carrying also caught people's attention because it was a style they had never seen before.

The small white bag had an ink painting on it, and it was embroidered in a unique way. Paired with her ink-wash long dress, it instantly attracted countless shutter clicks as soon as it appeared.

"Isn't this too beautiful?" a reporter couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Hua Guofeng, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, it's really beautiful."

"The key is, this isn't some kind of ancient style, but rather something modern and fashionable. It's not fashion, but casual wear, and that's what's so rare!"

"In short, it's very harmonious, yet full of personality. The ink painting style can actually be played with like this. Isn't Chen Mo really an enchanter?"

"I want this dress so much!"

Even several reporters from the fashion circle had their eyes shining, and kept taking pictures of the gorgeous Jing Tian on the catwalk and the ink-wash dress she was wearing from all angles.

They were more excited than any other media reporter.

"This material, this news, will definitely set the fashion world on fire!"

"Chinese style, ink painting, my God, how did he come up with it?"

"I have a feeling this will be a popular trend this year!"

Several reporters from the fashion circle were excitedly taking photos and discussing.

And the next surprise is just as amazing!

This time the actress is Zhao Liying, who will play the role of Liu Shimei in the play. Of course, in Chen Mo's version, the name was changed to Liu Shimei.

Zhao Liying's clothing style is completely different from Jing Tian's before. She wore a short top with an abstract lotus pattern painted with ink-splashing technique. The colors were appropriate in shades, and the lotus seemed to be swaying in the water. She paired it with a pair of wide-leg pants, and the water ripples on the trouser legs were smudged with light ink. When she walked, it seemed as if she was walking on water.

Then one after another, one after another.

The makeup launch conference of "My Love from the Star" was turned into a fashion show that combined Chinese ink painting elements with modern tailoring.

It's because of this, the era of digital cameras, otherwise, no amount of film would be enough for them.

Chen Mo did not blindly pursue the ancient style. In fact, "My Love from the Star" is not suitable for the ancient style. Therefore, these designs are very modern. The key is that these are completely different from those flashy and bulky clothes at fashion weeks that are not suitable for daily wear.

These clothes and outfits can be used as casual wear.

There are complicated formal wear, as well as simple ink-printed ones, such as short denim jackets, which use ink of varying shades to depict misty mountains and rivers. Paired with ripped jeans and personalized Martin boots, the mix and match of traditional ink painting with modern street fashion items directly blinded the eyes of the media reporters on the scene.

They feel like their eyes are not enough, and they think everything is good, fashionable and beautiful.

At this moment, they have too many questions to ask.

Unfortunately, this time Chen Mo played another trick that they had not expected. The fashion show lasted for nearly an hour, and then he directly announced the end of this unique makeup press conference.

Leaving a group of reporters in a mess in the wind.

"No, can we play like this? What are we doing here?" A reporter asked his colleagues in confusion.

"I really want to know that too! Damn, my camera's memory is full."

"This is very Chen Mo. Silence is more powerful than words at this moment! He is indeed a publicity genius. He understands it so well!"

"The footage we shot today is enough. Why are you asking?"

The press conference ended very quickly.

News about this highly personalized makeup launch event quickly began to spread through these media outlets.

"The makeup launch event for 'My Love from the Star', featuring gorgeous ink-wash costumes, dazzled the audience!"

"A fashion shockwave is coming! The vibrant colors of ink painting and the makeup launch event for "My Love from the Star" will dazzle you!"

"This year's popular element is the ink painting trend! Made by Chen Mo!"

When the photos of the press conference were released by the media, countless netizens were amazed.

"Fuck, can someone tell me what this is? It's so beautiful!"

"Three minutes. I want to know where I can buy these clothes!"

"The combination of ink painting and modern tailoring, Jay Chou is absolutely right, Chinese style is the coolest! Awesome!"

"Is this a makeup press conference? It's blinding my eyes!"

"By the way, where can I buy this?"

"Look at what Jing Tian is wearing. This is not a skirt at all. It's clearly Jiangnan on her body! It's so beautiful that I'm speechless!"

At the same time, many big Vs on Weibo were also amazed.

"This combination of ink painting and modern tailoring is simply amazing. I used to think that Chinese style was just ancient costumes, but now I've really opened my eyes. Chen Mo is awesome!

It feels like wearing the Palace Museum, picturesque Jiangnan, and blue and white porcelain. The key is that this style is simply everyday wear, not those fancy fashions. It is full of fashion sense and carries the cultural heritage of our ancestors. It must be strongly supported!

"Seeing these ink-and-wash-style fashion pieces makes me want to say, 'Chinese aesthetics YYDS!' Now I want to know when and where I can buy these clothes."

"It's really eye-opening. I wasn't too fond of this kind of Chinese fashion before, but after seeing these photos, I was completely blown away. Especially that ink graffiti work jacket paired with functional pants, it's so cool. The key is that Chen Mo is really awesome. We can also play with street fashion!"

For a time, this fashion trend caused by the combination of ink painting and modern tailoring not only caused huge waves on the Internet and sparked heated discussions, but more importantly, it also created a whirlwind in the fashion circle, making countless netizens exclaim that the Chinese style is awesome.

After obtaining consent from Chen Mo and others, several fashion magazines directly put those modern ink-and-wash designs on the covers of the latest issues of their magazines.

It even directly incorporates the popular elements of the season: Chinese ink painting style!

"Ink and wash fashion, brilliant bloom - a fashion movement that interweaves tradition and modernity"!
The inside pages of the magazine are more fashionable, using photos from the press conference to showcase multiple sets of clothing that combine ink painting elements with modern tailoring, providing a comprehensive interpretation.

It was even used: "This trend is not only a change in clothing, but also a display of cultural confidence!" The key is that this trend quickly spread out of the circle and even blew abroad.

Especially the photos taken at the press conference, which also caused heated discussions in foreign fashion circles.

"Oh my god, this is so beautiful! We've always been accustomed to the flamboyant Western fashion, but now China's ink painting fashion brings a quiet and profound beauty that is fascinating!"

"This is a mysterious magic from the East, a perfect fusion of ink painting and modern tailoring, as if wearing an ancient Eastern story on the body."

Domestically, even the official media daily has noticed this fashion phenomenon and published an article in the cultural section titled: "Ink and Wash Enter Fashion, Activating the Beauty of Tradition."

Television stations are also not willing to lag behind. Many television stations' fashion programs have kept up with the trend and produced related special programs.

Chen Mo never expected that the wind would blow so fast and so hard.

As a result, he seemed a little unprepared.

During this period, countless media outlets wanted to interview him.

Although Chen Mo also asked the costume designers of the crew to be interviewed, in the mouths of these designers, Chen Mo was the biggest contributor to these designs.

This pushed Chen Mo to the forefront again.

The key point is that this trend has also had a great impact on the entertainment industry.

Just look at the recent events attended by celebrities, and many celebrities and artists have unexpectedly worn various fashions with "Chinese ink painting elements".

This trend has begun to sweep across the country.

"Isn't this too exaggerated?" Chen Mo himself was puzzled.

But this was because he underestimated himself and this era, and the impact of this shock wave.

It is only 2013 now, which is far from the era when Hanfu can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys in later generations. In this era, although some Chinese elements are occasionally popular.

For example, Jay Chou’s Chinese-style songs.

But in fact, in the field of clothing, it is a bit exaggerated to say that there is a blank, but there are indeed no particularly influential related designs.

And this performance of Chen Mo's "My Love from the Star".

The most outstanding thing is that the designs are very down-to-earth. What I mean by down-to-earth here is that these clothes are not like the "high-end" goods shown at fashion weeks, but can be bought directly and worn by anyone.

The design is more simple but not simplistic, without any complicated and redundant designs, so it has a wider audience.

In the past, many so-called fashion trends were actually very difficult for ordinary people to evaluate.

According to netizens, there is no point in watching fashion week and they cannot appreciate it at all.

Those things that are praised by many people are actually too far away for ordinary people.

Although some people may arrogantly say that you don’t understand fashion.

However, the clothes worn by Chen Mo at the press conference for "My Love from the Star" directly demonstrated the "fashion" and "beauty" that the public can understand and see with the naked eye!
To put it simply and bluntly, it is the difference between art films and commercial films.

The former has a small audience but a high level of prestige, while the latter may not be of high level, but its audience is definitely not comparable to that of the former.

However, Chen Mo still had some preparations for this first batch of designs.

A brand called "Huayun" has quietly launched online. Because its design style is relatively down-to-earth, this batch of designs are all mid-range.

As a result, as soon as it was launched, although the price was not low, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand, it was sold out immediately after it was launched.

As time went by, many netizens began to post beautiful photos of themselves wearing outfits online, which further amplified the influence of this trend.

A TV series that has not yet started filming, but a makeup launch conference directly led to the rapid birth and success of a new brand, and also made Chen Mo a hot topic again.

There is no way around it, which makes many colleagues in the circle very depressed, envious and jealous.

But for Chen Mo, it was both painful and happy.

Because this time, the drama "My Love from the Star" can be said to be completely created for Jing Tian.

Originally, everyone thought it was just a TV series, but no one expected that Jing Tian became the new darling of the fashion circle just by virtue of that makeup press conference before the TV series even started filming.

Not only is her fame rising, the key point is that "My Love from the Star" is now so popular and exposed that many people who know the situation are really envious and jealous of her.

The little rich lady has been very happy recently and walks with a breeze.

The crew members were equally happy, because when the rich lady was happy, she would buy all kinds of things and give all kinds of gifts. Almost everyone in the crew had received valuable gifts from Jing Tian.

There are also a lot of snacks and fruits available every day, which are all bought by the rich woman with her own money.

This made her the darling of the crew.

However, it was also because of her good personality. In the crew, this was Chen Mo's crew, so she was naturally more likely to let down her guard. She was also the absolute heroine, and she was grateful for what she received, so everyone in the entire crew praised her.

But Xiao Zhao and Yang Mi, the women who had relationships with Chen Mo, felt very uncomfortable.

How could they not envy the little rich woman? Although it's a TV series, it's exaggerated and outrageous, right?
The disturbances in the outside world did not affect the filming of the crew.

The original Korean version of "My Love from the Star" has one episode lasting one hour. However, in China, such a length is not practical, so Chen Mo changed it to about 45 minutes per episode.

Of course, every episode of the original version has an Easter egg setting, but Chen Mo did not change it.

After filming started, Chen Mo was surprised to find that Jing Tian's acting skills had improved by leaps and bounds. For example, the look of "contempt" and "scorn" that she had never been able to grasp before, she performed with ease after just over a month.

"Who taught you? Why is the effect so good?" Chen Mo asked in surprise.

"It's Mr. Zhang Songwen from Beijing Film Academy!" Jing Tian said.

Chen Mo suddenly realized that it was him! However, in his previous life, he had heard that he was good at acting as a director, but he never thought that he really had this ability.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo suddenly laughed. This was also an unexpected gain. If the actors' acting skills were not good enough in the future, they could ask this person to help with training.

The filming progress of this drama is not fast, but the atmosphere of the entire crew is very good.

However, in June, Chen Mo had to leave the crew temporarily because "Tiny Times" starring Yang Mi and directed by Guo Xiaosi was about to be released.

It was difficult for Chen Mo to refuse Yang Mi's invitation.

Of course, I just attended the premiere and helped out on stage.

In fact, the release of this movie also means that we are about to enter the era of traffic.

This movie is a pure fan movie, or it can be said that the box office is supported by traffic.

However, this has little to do with Chen Mo. He just came to help out.

However, what he didn't expect was that someone was waiting for him here.

Wang Jun from Huayi, Wang Changtian from Guangxian, and Ye Ning from Wanda came over together.

"Director Chen, do you have any movie plans this year?" Wang Changtian asked immediately.

Chen Mo shook his head and said, "The TV series I'm working on will take some time to shoot, so I haven't made up my mind yet."

"I heard that the copyright of the last four parts of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is in your hands?" Wang Changtian asked again.

Chen Mo understood instantly, it turned out that this was what they came for.

Chen Mo nodded: "You guys came here together, are you interested in this novel?"

"Director Chen's vision is indeed unique, and the 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' series is indeed very suitable for adaptation!" said Wanda's Ye Ning.

"I wonder if Director Chen plans to direct it himself?" Wang Changtian asked.

Chen Mo nodded, then shook his head and said, "At that time, I only bought the adaptation rights because of my personal preference. As for directing it myself, I don't have any plans for that yet."
