This director is vindictive.

Chapter 172 All the scumbags in the entertainment industry should learn from Chen Mo
Shengshi Pictures is already going through the listing process and has entered the coaching period.

Of course, it has little impact on Chen Mo.

He actually felt that he had been very low-key recently, except for the financing and equity transfer issues, which caused a lot of controversy.

Other times, he was really low-key.

They rarely appear in front of the media.

This time it was a complete accident.

After the preliminary preparations for "Life Events" were completed, Chen Mo thought he could start filming quietly.

However, sometimes, even when he is not in the world, his legend still exists in the world.

It is mainly due to being associated with others. In other words, it is all due to the support of its peers.

The entertainment industry also had its own labels in 2017! The first label is that there is a new member in the cheating team.

When Chen Sicheng was filming "Northern Love" that year, he "valued women over friends" and broke up with his "brothers" because he added more scenes for Yaya.

It can be said that this was talked about by many netizens at that time. Although he felt sorry for his "brother", it was at least for love!
Later, the two lovers finally got married, but it still proved the saying that love in the entertainment industry does not last long.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that he was playing Landlord with two girls in the presidential suite of a hotel.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Chen Mo. As God knows, he and Yaya were not familiar with each other at all, right? And everyone knew that although Chen Mo had the heart of a thief, he always adhered to the bottom line and did not act like a thief.

Although the couple finally reconciled, many people still sighed that no matter how beautiful the love in the entertainment industry is, it will eventually be like that.

However, this was just the beginning. Immediately afterwards, the "One Finger Zen" incident broke out involving Bai Baihe, who had once worked with Chen Mo and is now the female star with the highest cumulative box office in the Chinese film industry!

Although it was later made public that they had already divorced.

However, these two things were compared with Chen Mo's previous "big money" behavior.

"Even though they're both scumbags, it's strange. Why is it that Chen Mo seems to be the worse scumbag, but I don't find him disgusting at all?"

"It's simple. This guy is a scumbag, but he's clearly a scumbag. He's still single. How ridiculous!"

"Fuck! People in the entertainment industry should really learn from Chen Mo! As long as they're not married, it's not called cheating, it's called being a playboy, right?"

"That's right. Chen Sicheng's actions are very mysterious. You can see from his previous interviews that he is very clear about men cheating. But the biggest problem is, if he knows that he will make the same mistake that men are likely to make one day, why did he get married?"

"Yeah, wouldn't it be nice to be like Chen Mo? Playing around is fine, but don't joke about marriage! Damn, men and women in the entertainment industry, it's really better for them not to get married!"

Chen Sicheng and Bai Baihe incident, Chen Mo was involved.

Especially since Chen Sicheng actually publicly stated that Chen Mo was the real man! He looked envious and admiring, and Chen Mo could see that this guy was sincere.

But brother, if you just want to play around and be a scumbag, why are you getting married?
In this kind of thing, Chen Mo would at most be pulled out for comparison, because of these two, Chen Sicheng, to some extent, is considered by many people to have taken a path very similar to Chen Mo's, both of whom switched from actors to directors, and are relatively successful examples.

As for Bai Baihe, it is entirely because she can even be said to be the earliest "Mo Girl". Don't get me wrong, it doesn't mean that there is anything unclear between her and Chen Mo. It means that she first became famous because of starring in Chen Mo's first movie "Love is Not Blind"!
If it were just this, it wouldn’t be a big deal. Chen Mo could just sit there and watch the show.

But then, Zhao Liying, who had been relatively transparent among the silent girls, suddenly exploded.

A drama starring her called "Princess Agents" became a huge hit.

It was broadcast on both the Internet and TV channels in the time slot following "In the Name of People", which was hailed as the best drama of the decade. Although "Princess Agents" was controversial due to plagiarism and cutouts, the greater the controversy, the greater the attention it received. Despite all the criticism, "Princess Agents" won the ratings championship in the same time slot and became the first TV series to exceed 500 billion hits during its broadcast.

It has become the real number one online drama!
And when it was broadcast on TV, it also won the ratings championship in the same period. If it weren’t for the ten-year drama "In the Name of People", then "Princess Agents" would definitely be the most popular TV drama this year!
The smallest Xiao Zhao was crowned the queen of TV dramas for a while!
Because before that, "The Journey of Flower" starring Zhao was also a female-led drama, and it also achieved very good results.

This made her, who was originally relatively invisible among Chen Mo's "close female friends", suddenly stand out.

The key is that the drama "Princess Agents" is also produced by Shengshi Pictures!

This also allowed countless people to have a deeper understanding of Chen Mo's technical level as a master of keeping the balance.

Look at the female stars who follow her, it can be said that each of them has gained both fame and fortune!
If you need resources, you have them, and they are all top-notch resources.

At the same time, he has money. Look, a person directly gave out hundreds of millions of shares. According to netizens, "It seems that apart from a marriage certificate, Chen Mo gave away everything he could. The key is that there are so many female stars, not one is left out. It's awesome!"

"I'm so jealous! Princess Agents is a success again. Shengshi Pictures' valuation is bound to go up quite a bit, right?"

"Chen Sicheng, watch more, learn more. If you can't remain a virgin, don't get married! Look at how carefree others are, and then look at you, how miserable you are!"

"Fuck, I'm suddenly afraid of marriage. Everyone in the entertainment industry, please don't get married anymore. Look at all these years, all kinds of displays of affection, and then all kinds of quick demise. First there was Monday See You, then there was Lao Wang's three consecutive votes, then Baoqiang was backstabbed, 40% cheated, and the lesbian scene. How the hell can we still believe in love?"

"Looking at it this way, Chen Mo is really foresighted! If he had gotten married, things probably wouldn't be like this now!"

Chen Mo was a little scared when he saw these netizens trying to lead the trend.

Damn it, if you want to get married, get married. If you don’t want to get married, don’t involve me!

Thinking about the future, when all the young people become bachelors, he was a little scared. This really has nothing to do with me!

Chen Mo kept a low profile when filming of "Life Events" started. After all, the previous publicity and warm-up such as "Today is a good day" and "Zhu Yulong wore mourning clothes for the role" were enough.

In addition, the company's financing issues pushed him to the forefront, so he really wanted to keep a low profile. After all, the first tree to stick its head out gets shot!

Although he believed he was upright and on solid footing, he still had to keep a low profile at this moment! He wanted practical benefits over false reputation.

So, he even called them one by one and asked them not to visit the set recently.

They are truly walking news-making machines. Whenever they come to visit the set, they will definitely be followed by a large group of entertainment reporters.

The filming of "Life Events" was not difficult. Zhu Yulong's acting skills are still good. In addition, sufficient preparations were made in advance, and there was an expert Lao Qi who followed to serve as a "consultant" to the crew, so the filming progress was very smooth.

Time flies and it is July.

The filming of Chen Mo's version of "Life Events" is nearing completion, but Chen Mo received a call from Wu Jing, inviting him to attend the premiere of "Wolf Warrior 2".

Speaking of it, "Wolf Warrior 2" really has a lot of twists and turns, even with his investment, it is still the same.

As for movies with this kind of main theme, only last year's "Operation Mekong" has grossed over 10 billion yuan.

As for the main themes such as great undertakings, the box office is not a reference at all.

Therefore, "Wolf Warrior 2" is also not favored by people.

Even though the first "Wolf Warrior" seemed to have a good box office, at least more than 500 million yuan, in fact, this movie really didn't make much money.

Although Chen Mo invested in it, Wang from Guangxian also invested part of it, but this is also where the problem lies.

Because Wu Jing underestimated the difficulty of filming this movie, it resulted in serious budget overruns and even a temporary halt to production.

On the Guangguang side, Wang Changtian was not optimistic about this movie in the first place, and then this kind of thing happened. The key point is that Chen Mo had already come with a budget of 100 million yuan, but in the end, according to the progress of shooting, in order to complete the film, at least another 80 to 100 million yuan of investment would be needed.

It can be said that the overspending was too outrageous. Wang Changtian even complained to Chen Mo that he thought he was Cameron!
To be honest, if Chen Mo hadn't known that this movie would be a hit, even he would have found it difficult to be optimistic about it. After all, the overspending was too outrageous.

As a director, Chen Mo's films rarely have budget overruns, because budget overruns themselves mean that the director has not done a good job of controlling the crew, making the film's shooting plan, estimating the difficulty of shooting, etc.

In this regard, Wu Jing did not do well.

Therefore, even Wu Jing himself felt embarrassed afterwards, and Chen Mo took the initiative to make an additional investment. However, in this way, Shengshi Pictures became the largest investor of this movie.

In fact, Wolf Warrior 2 didn't receive much support during filming, with cast changes and over 20 stars refusing to act. In his previous life, Chen Mo simply believed this was just publicity, but in this life, with Shengshi Pictures investing in him, he knew it was true.

It can be said that there are really no big-name stars in the whole film.

In fact, it didn't have to be so bumpy. After all, with the investment from Shengshi Pictures, it wouldn't have been like this if Chen Mo had just given the green light. However, Chen Mo was worried that his interference would cause a butterfly effect on the film, so in the end, he was only responsible for the investment and did not interfere.

This led to many people even thinking that Shengshi Pictures was unable to make additional investments later simply because of the initial investment, and Chen Mo remained silent, indicating that he was not optimistic either.

This also led to the fact that the premiere of "Wolf Warrior 2" was approaching, but many people Wu Jing invited were rejected.

Chen Mo then remembered that in his previous life, there were news reports about the premiere of "Wolf Warrior 2". It was deserted and bleak, with very few big-name stars present. Apart from the artists and directors related to the film, the only ones who could come were Wu Jing's wife and some good friends.

What else could Chen Mo say? He had no reason not to participate.

Not only does he have to participate, but he has been keeping a low profile for a long time, so he doesn't need to be low-key this time.

He also wanted to see if his participation could bring some publicity and whether it could increase the box office for the film.
In mid-July, "Life Events" was officially completed after more than two months of filming.

On the evening of July 7, "Wolf Warrior 26" held its premiere in Beijing.

What surprised Chen Mo was that the premiere of "Wolf Warrior 2" was even quieter than he had imagined.

There really weren't many stars present, except for the main creative members of the "Wolf Warrior 2" crew and some of Wu Jing's friends.

The reporters at the scene were also talking about it.

"How pessimistic are you? The premiere is almost here, can you name those people?" A reporter couldn't help but complain.

"Isn't it said that this movie has investments from Shengshi Pictures and Guangguang Film Group?" another reporter asked.

"I do know this. Guangguang only invested a small part of the money. The movie went over budget drastically. It is said that the budget exceeded the budget by almost double. And in the whole movie, apart from Da Kang Shu who became famous this year for In the Name of People, there are really no other big-name stars. The key point is that the investment is more than 200 million yuan." said a well-informed reporter.

"Didn't Shengshi Pictures also invest? Chen Mo should come, right?" someone asked.

“Shengshi Pictures did invest, but the rumor is that because they invested in the early stages, if they didn’t add more money later, the film might not be completed, so they had no choice but to continue investing.

Moreover, if Chen Mo is optimistic about this film and speaks out in support of it with his status, would so many actors still refuse to act in it?"

"It's true. Chen Mo doesn't seem to have mentioned this movie at all. This might actually be his first failed investment."

"Fuck, look over there! Here they come! Fuck! Who said he wasn't optimistic? What the hell." Suddenly one of the reporters couldn't help but swear.

The main thing is that Chen Mo came, and this time, he was unreasonably high-profile.

Because, not only did Chen Mo come, but he also brought a group of people with him.

For a moment, the reporters who had been somewhat uninterested because they couldn't even recognize the names of the celebrities present rushed over like crazy, pressing the shutter button non-stop.

Because this is the first time that Chen Mo appears in the same frame with his rumored girlfriend and confidantes!

The scene was absolutely spectacular.

In fact, at the beginning, Chen Mo had never thought of being so high-profile with them.

But after knowing about it, everyone wanted to come.

Especially because Chen Mo has been keeping a low profile during this period in order to film, and asked them not to visit the set, so they haven't seen each other for a long time.

Chen Mo thought, since he wanted to support "Wolf Warrior 2", he might as well create some big news.

No, the effect is absolutely top-notch.

For the first time, Chen Mo and his confidantes all appeared together.

How could the reporters not be excited?

As for Wu Jing, the couple thought that Chen Mo, the biggest investor of the film, had promised to come and would not back down, but they did not expect Chen Mo to be so supportive.

He even felt a little flattered.

After all, this is the first time!

Even when Chen Mo's own movie was released, at most they would sit in a row together, but this was the first time they walked the red carpet together.

And this is the first time they appeared in the same frame after Chen Mo's company raised funds and split its shares.

"Director Chen! Thank you for coming!" Wu Jing said excitedly.

"What? You're not like everyone else, thinking that I don't think highly of your movie?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"No, no, haha!" Wu Jing was a little confused by Chen Mo's direct question.

"This is your movie. I'm just an investor, so I didn't want to steal the show. I can say that I'm even more optimistic about this movie than you as the director!" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Really?" Wu Jing asked with some surprise.

In fact, he himself was not so confident about this movie because the process was so tortuous.

And before Chen Mo brought the six golden flowers to the scene tonight, it was really awkward.

After all, it is a movie with an investment of 2 million yuan, but in the end, there were not many stars that the reporters could name to show their support. It’s hard to accept!
"You'll know later!" Chen Mo said with a smile.

The premiere started soon, but the news that Chen Mo was high-profile and rarely brought six beauties to walk the red carpet together was immediately posted on the Internet.

There were countless onlookers at once.

However, many people are still not optimistic about the movie "Wolf Warrior 2".

But at least, Chen Mo's move did bring a lot of exposure to the movie.

It's time for reporters to ask questions.

As a result, the side effects of Chen Mo's presence also appeared. Many reporters simply ignored Wu Jing, the absolute male lead and soul of the movie, and instead surrounded Chen Mo and the women around him.

Especially Chen Mo. At the beginning, everyone asked questions that were not related to the movie, such as Chen Mo's relationships with several women.

Chen Mowen just said friends, friends, good friends, and then everyone reluctantly turned to asking questions related to the movie.

"Director Chen Mo, it was previously rumored that you were not optimistic about Wolf Warrior 2. After all, Wolf Warrior 2 encountered many problems before, but you never said anything. Is that true?" A reporter asked immediately.

"First of all, you got one thing wrong. The director, lead actor, and even screenwriter of Wolf Warrior 2 are all Wu Jing. You could say this is completely his movie.

If I am not optimistic, why should I invest?
Moreover, not every investor likes to interfere with the director's creation, at least I don't, because I am a director myself, and I hate being interfered with the most, so don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you.

That's why I haven't been involved in this film.

Secondly, if I was not optimistic, I would not be here tonight, and I would not have become the largest investor from one of the initial investors.

Finally, I can responsibly tell you that I am more optimistic about this movie than anyone else, even Director Wu Jing!"
