This director is vindictive.

Chapter 108: Give it a try? Give it a try!
Speaking of the copyright of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", Chen Mo asked Zhao Ming to acquire it. Unfortunately, the four novels of the first part were sold to Dreamer Company early on.

Zhao Ming bought the last four books of the second part.

What Chen Mo didn't know was that this time it was Wanda who was interested in the novel, but when he went to buy it, he found out that the copyright had already been sold.

Compared to Dreamer Company, they are obviously more interested in cooperating with Chen Mo.

Light Media, Wanda, and Huayi, "Ghost Blows Out the Light: The Lost Tomb"?
Chen Mo quickly thought of this movie.

It can be said that the previous life of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" was indeed very famous, and the IP is even more well-known to everyone.

But in fact, the only movie adapted from "Ghost Blows Out the Light" that can be considered a real success seems to be "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mojin".

As for Lu Chuan’s "Nine-story Demon Tower", it’s better not to mention it.

Of course, there are many web dramas and web movies based on the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series. This IP is indeed valuable, but it is not that exaggerated.

It’s just that Chen Mo really doesn’t like the original director of “Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mojin”.

This person is hiding something very deep.

Before filming "Investiture of the Gods", who could have imagined that the other person's butt was so crooked.

"Director Chen, all three of us are interested in this project. It would be great if you were interested in directing it. We think that if this series is well filmed, it can be made into a domestic version of "Indiana Jones" and "National Treasure"!" said Wang Changtian.

Wang Jun and Ye Ning nodded in unison.

Obviously, that's why they are interested in this series.

"If this novel is to be adapted into a movie, the investment will definitely be huge. If all three of you are interested, I have no objection to working together. However, the investment in this movie will be at least two or three hundred million. Have you decided who will direct it?" Chen Mo asked.

"Director Chen, if you are willing to direct, you are actually the best candidate." Wang Changtian said.

"Yes, Director Chen is definitely the best candidate."

"Yeah, since Director Chen doesn't have any other film plans, why not direct it?"

The other two also spoke up.

Chen Mo, however, scoffed at their so-called "best candidate", although he actually had no confidence at all. After all, the two types of films he was best at in his previous life were zombie films and tomb-raiding films.

But in this life, he had directed three movies before this. Although they were all successful and had good box office results, they were actually low-budget movies.

He just didn't believe that these three were really so confident that he could direct a big production with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars. It was just empty talk.

Of course, if he wanted to direct, the three of them couldn't stop him.

In fact, this series was originally in Chen Mo's plan, but filming this series is not as simple as the movies he shot before. It requires an investment of several hundred million, at least two or three hundred million, which is no joke.

Although Chen Mo had filmed many tomb-robbing online movies in his previous life, they were completely incomparable. This is why Chen Mo had never included this movie in his plans.

But since the copyright is in his hands, he is really not in a hurry.

After the previous life's "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mojin", although two more films, "The Cave of Dragon Ridge" and "The Worm Valley of Yunnan", were released one after another, they both failed. The former received such bad reviews in the preview that it was not even released, and the latter only earned more than 100 million yuan at the box office. That was several years later. At that time, the highest domestic box office had already reached tens of billions. It can be said that the successive failures of the two films also led to the embarrassing situation of this series.

When it comes to online dramas and online movies, they are flourishing everywhere, but when it comes to theater movies, every one of them fails.

"The director of last year's 'Painted Skin 2', Wu Ersan, is pretty good. He saves money and time and has the ability. I think we can let him give it a try." Wang Jun from Huayi suddenly said.

Chen Mo was immediately happy, as he had guessed it would be him.

It's just that this person is hiding very deeply and hasn't been exposed yet. Last year's "Painted Skin 2" did quite well at the box office, so after hearing what Wang Jun said, Wang Changtian and Ye Ning obviously agreed.

"Wu Er San, I think it's okay."

"I've heard of him. Why not let him make a plan and give it a try?"

Chen Mo smiled without saying anything. "Try it? Try it, sir."

If it weren't for what happened later, perhaps this Wuersan would have been quite suitable, but the person was not good enough, and his butt was even bent to Outer Mongolia, so what else is there to say?

"Director Chen, do you have another candidate?" Seeing that Chen Mo was unmoved and obviously dissatisfied with the candidate they recommended, Wang Changtian asked.

"I think Zhang Yimou is quite suitable." Chen Mo suddenly smiled and mentioned a candidate that surprised them all.

This is really not something Chen Mo said nonsense. If you want to make a big production, Zhang Yimou is definitely capable of it. Of course, the prerequisite is to find a good screenwriter for him. This is not a problem at all. Chen Mo can write the script.

If it was before, it might not have worked. During the honeymoon period of the two Zhangs' collaboration, Zhang Weiping (not Coach Zhang) was really hated by everyone in the circle.

"Lao Mouzi is indeed a good candidate, but I guess he won't agree, right?" Wang Changtian frowned.

Zhang Yimou just joined LeTV a few days ago, which caused LeTV's valuation to soar a lot, which is enough to prove Zhang Yimou's status.

However, as Wang Changtian said, Zhang Yimou announced his new film plan as soon as he joined LeTV. It is impossible for him to change his original plan because of such a movie.

"Director Chen, I still think Wuersan is a more suitable candidate. Do you have any misunderstandings about him?" Wang Jun was very confident when he introduced Wuersan at the beginning, but he didn't understand why Chen Mo directly said no to the discussion.

Wang Changtian and Ye Ning also looked at Chen Mo with confusion.

"Misunderstanding? That doesn't exist. I don't even know him!" Chen Mo said indifferently.

However, he didn't want to talk about this person any more, so he said directly: "How about this, there's no rush for this matter anyway. Let's talk about it after I finish the work at hand. If there is really no suitable one, I can direct it myself when the time comes."

The three of them looked at each other and finally nodded. But they were still confused in their hearts, wondering what the grudge between Wu Ersan and Chen Mo was.
However, none of the three could figure out the reason, so they had to give up.

Although Chen Mo is just a director, his development and rise have been too fast. Although he is not on par with them now, he is more than just a director.

The key point is that Chen Mo has never failed so far, so of course they are more trying to win him over.

Besides, the copyright of the project is in Chen Mo's hands, so he doesn't necessarily have to cooperate with them.

Back to the crew of "My Love from the Star", these two days, the rich girl always gave Chen Mo a weird feeling. The main reason was that she usually liked to stay around him, but for some reason these two days, every time she said a few words to him, she suddenly blushed and then avoided him.

There are more strange things. Usually, the rich girl always has snacks in her hands, but in the past two days, she seems to have become a different person. I haven't seen her take snacks, and she hasn't fed herself either. It's very strange.

This left Chen Mo puzzled.

The key point is that during the filming, Chen Mo felt that she was secretly looking at him every time, and when he turned his head, she pretended to be calm and dodged.

"You have the best relationship with Tiantian. Did something happen to her recently? Why is she always avoiding me?" Chen Mo pulled Zhao Liying over and asked.

But Xiao Zhao rolled his eyes at Chen Mo and said, "It's all your fault!"

"No, what did I do?" Chen Mo had a question mark on his face.

"Think about it yourself!" Xiao Zhao glared at Chen Mo unhappily, but his eyes were full of resentment.

There is no way I can deal with Chen Mo at all. What’s going on?

"Brother Zhao, what happened during the two days I was away?" Chen Mo was confused about the situation and couldn't help but pull Zhao Ming over to ask.

Zhao Ming was also confused: "No! Everything is normal! Why are you asking? Did something happen?"

"No, it's just that Tiantian has been a little strange these two days." Chen Mo shook his head.

"Ahem, Jing Tian? Then I might actually know something." Zhao Ming suddenly said with a strange expression.

"Tell me." Chen Mo said quickly.

"You can take a look at the shooting plan yourself. I guess it should be related to this." Zhao Ming said.

Chen Mo frowned and opened his shooting schedule.

Then he smiled, but he didn't expect that this was the reason.

what reason?
Because we have to shoot a kissing scene.

There are a total of eight kissing scenes in "My Love from the Star". Starting from tomorrow, four of them will be filmed in the next two days.

No wonder she, who had always been silly and cute, suddenly became weird.

Speaking of which, Chen Mo and Jing Tian have known each other for several years, and their relationship has always been more than friends but less than lovers.

The most intimate actions are just holding hands, pinching noses, combing hair, or hugging.

As for kissing, there has never been one.

No wonder the rich young woman acted like this, it turns out she was embarrassed.

"Tiantian, come here, I have something to tell you." Chen Mo called her over directly. After the young rich woman came over, she lowered her head and played with her fingers.

"Very nervous?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"Well! I've never filmed a kissing scene." She raised her head, but two red clouds appeared on her face.

"Don't want to shoot a kissing scene with me? Then we can use a substitute." Chen Mo said deliberately.

"No need to use a substitution. Teacher Zhang said that actors should take every role and every scene seriously!" Jing Tian said quickly, with a serious face.

It was the twinkling eyes that made Chen Mo smile. What a good reason!

"Then why have you been hiding from me these past two days?" Chen Mo asked.

"I, I didn't!" Jing Tian said a little guiltily.

"You don't even feed me snacks anymore." Chen Mo said again with a sad look on his face.

"We're shooting tomorrow. Eating too many snacks will make you get irritated, which is not good." Jing Tian said, but then immediately lowered her head in shame.

Okay, so that's the reason. Wow, it seems the rich girl worked really hard for these kissing scenes.

"You can't do this! We haven't even started filming yet and you're already so embarrassed. I think we need to try out the play first." Chen Mo said seriously.

"Ah? No, that's not necessary?" The young rich woman was shocked, her face flushed and she stammered.

I don’t know why, but Chen Mo always felt that at this moment, he was a bit like a bad uncle who tricked the little girl into looking at the goldfish.

But when he saw the rich woman's elastic and moist lips, he became a little distracted.

"Really?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"Well, no, no need!" Jing Tian felt his face was burning so badly that he didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Chen Mo.

"OK then!"

After hearing Chen Mo's words, Jing Tian felt a sense of loss in his heart for some reason.

But the next moment, she felt Chen Mo's arms around her neck and she was pulled over.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Chen Mo kissing me.

Her mind went blank, and she felt as if all her strength had been drained away. If it weren't for Chen Mo supporting her, she would not have been able to stand steadily.

But Chen Mo was afraid of scaring the rich young woman, so he just gave her a light kiss and stopped there.

Mm, strawberry flavored lip balm, smells good.

The young rich woman felt her strength return to her body, and she felt like she was electrocuted. She broke free from Chen Mo and ran away.

Chen Mo couldn't help but smile and touched his lips, savoring the taste of the food!
Chen Mo had eaten a lot of meat, but for some reason, that light touch just now made him feel a sweetness he had never experienced before.

Is this the legendary thing?
Chen Mo couldn't help but look forward to tomorrow's shooting.

It’s just that the little rich girl is still too shy. Well, but it doesn’t matter. At worst, I can take a few more pictures tomorrow. Anyway, I won’t mind.

"What did you do to Tiantian?" Suddenly a slightly resentful voice came.

"No, what's wrong?" Chen Mo asked in confusion. The person who came was Zhao Liying.

"Then why did she run so fast just now? She didn't even respond when I called her." Zhao Liying asked suspiciously.

"Maybe it's because people have urgent needs." Chen Mo said without hesitation.

"Did you bully her?" How could Zhao Liying believe Chen Mo's nonsense?

"We were just rehearsing a scene, how could that be considered bullying her?" Chen Mo said.

"Hmph, you playboy!" Zhao Liying immediately understood why the rich young woman had that reaction.

To be honest, her relationship with the rich young woman should be tense, but for some reason, she just can't hate her.

The young rich woman had nothing to say about her. Apart from Chen Mo, the two of them could talk about almost anything and were considered real good sisters.

Xiao Zhao, who has been a supporting actor in the entertainment industry for so many years, is not as naive as the rich girl. She has seen too many intrigues in the entertainment industry, so she cherishes it even more.

Because there is really no one else like Jing Tian in the entertainment industry.

"Come on, come with me and try out the acting!" Chen Mo grabbed Xiao Zhao, who wanted to run away after scolding him.

She was not as cautious with Xiao Zhao as she was with Jing Tian. After all, the two of them had had in-depth communications countless times, and she had already become like Chen Mo.

A two-minute kiss completely dispelled Zhao Liying's resentment, and she felt a little dizzy.

However, she was much bolder than Jing Tian, ​​and looked at Chen Mo provocatively and said, "Is that enough? Do you want me to help you try out the play again?"

How could Chen Mo tolerate this?
The result was that his lips were broken and Xiao Zhao's lips were a little swollen.

He was a little amused and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Well, if things don't get better tomorrow, the kissing scene will have to be postponed again: "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Xiao Zhao turned around and left without looking back.

It wouldn't be obvious if the bite was on other places, but it was too obvious if the skin on the lips was broken. Chen Mo was also a little depressed. This was totally his own fault.

Then, when he sat in the director's chair again, everyone in the crew would secretly glance at him from time to time.

God knows how they will laugh at me behind my back. What a mistake.

Chen Mo was also helpless! He felt that he had lost his mind. Why did he arrange Xiao Zhao to be in the crew? Wasn't this asking for trouble?
That night.

In the room where Zhao Liying and Jing Tian lived, well, they were so close that they slept in the same bed and the two sisters talked at night.

"Xiao Zhao!" Jing Tian shouted.

"What's wrong? Tiantian." Zhao Liying asked in confusion.

"Why did you bite him?" Jing Tian said with a pout.

"Ah?" Zhao Liying's face suddenly turned red. She never expected Jing Tian to say this, but this was very Jing Tian.

"I'm just trying to help you vent your anger, but you don't appreciate it." Zhao Liying rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

This girl was really eaten alive by Chen Mo's big pig's hoof, and she was shivering with anger.

"Help me vent my anger? But, but he didn't bully me!" Now it was Jing Tian's turn to blush. When she thought of what happened during the day, she felt her face burning.

"You! I really don't know what's so good about him that makes you treat him like this and protect him everywhere. If he sells you out one day, you'll still be helping him count the money!" Zhao Liying reached out and pinched Jing Tian's pretty nose.

"He won't sell me out, and we both have money!" Jing Tian said with a smile.

"And he is a very nice person! Otherwise why would you bite him?" Jing Tian suddenly said in return.

Zhao Liying: “.”

Zhao Liying didn't know what to say for a moment. This silly girl is really hopeless.

"Tian! It's not that he is good, but you are too good to him." Zhao Liying sighed.

However, perhaps because of this, he has always been the most special to her.

I felt a little sad and envious, but strangely, I didn't feel jealous.

Suddenly she remembered the first time they met officially and Jing Tian didn't give her snacks, and she couldn't help laughing. It was also because of that time, Jing Tian's ridiculous way of expression that made her treat him sincerely, and the two of them have become good sisters who can talk about anything today.

In Beijing, at Huayi Film and Television, Wang Jun specially called Wuersan over.

Huayi was very satisfied with Wuersan's performance in "Painted Skin 2", the film he invested in last year.

In fact, I recommended Wuersan on the one hand because I felt that Wuersan had the ability. On the other hand, if they cooperated this time and if Wuersan became the director, it would also be beneficial to Huayi. After all, Wuersan is on Huayi's side.

Unfortunately, he never expected Chen Mo's attitude to be like that.

This made him very confused. He didn't understand. Obviously, they both graduated from the Beijing Film Academy and should have some relationship with each other, but Chen Mo seemed to dislike Wuersan.

For this reason, he went to Wuersan to ask him if he knew the reason.
