This director is vindictive.

Chapter 174 This Great Shift of the Universe is definitely at the highest level

"Wolf Warrior 2" is not Chen Mo's movie after all.

To be honest, whether he invested before or helped with publicity later, it was actually very simple, it was simply a matter of interests.

Of course, Chen Mo actually intervened in one thing. In his previous life, Chen Mo was particularly puzzled. Why was Zhang Han in this movie? Even if Peng Yuyan was not used, there were so many actors, why use him?
Not to mention the terrible acting, the movie also became a flop after it was released and received the most complaints. The most important thing is that this is a mainstream movie after all. Isn't it too ironic to use a star who has committed unacceptable evil deeds?

In his previous life, he was also dumbfounded when he saw the news about this person. Isn't it true that he can just pretend he never did it by changing his name?
Anyway, Chen Mo can't pretend that it never happened.

So, Chen Mo didn't say anything at the time. He just saw the other person's name when he was looking at the cast list, and then sent a news link to Wu Jing.

Wu Jing called to apologize immediately and then asked for a replacement. As for who to replace, Chen Mo said that as long as it was not a bad artist, it would be fine. This is your movie and you have the final say.

Then he really didn't get involved at all, mainly because there was really no need to get involved in other matters.

But he didn't expect that when the film became a box office hit, everyone would actually take most of the credit on himself.

In fact, it can also be said to be a kind of "reasonable transfer".

The main reason is that many people in the entire entertainment industry are actually very embarrassed, because before this, they were indeed not optimistic about this movie.

As a result, such an unpopular movie suddenly burst out with amazing energy and even set an outrageous box office record for Chinese-language films.

So what to do? Just swallow your pride?

But for ordinary netizens, Wu Jing can be said to have been "deified" to a certain extent.

However, although he has been in the industry for many years and has directed and acted in several movies, the leap is too big after all, and it can be said that he has achieved everything in one go.

Some people also feel that it is too bizarre.

Simply put, if this kind of thing happened to Wu Jing, it would be incredible, unimaginable, and incomprehensible.

But when applied to Chen Mo, it seems a lot more reasonable, which led to the current situation.

Even Wu Jing himself might have been a little shocked.

Of course Chen Mo knew that the movie's popularity had little to do with him. Even if it did have something to do with him, it was only because his publicity did increase the box office revenue a little, but not much.

So, naturally, he had to say publicly: "Everyone puts the credit for the success of this movie on me, but I really don't deserve it. I've said before that this is Wu Jing's own movie, which he wrote, directed, and starred in. This is a movie that belongs to him alone, and I really have nothing to do with it. I am at most an investor."

It’s just that sometimes you can’t wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Chen Mo has his own things to do, and the promotion of "Wolf Warrior 2" is just a side job.

"Life Events" is currently in post-production, but he is actually a little nervous. After all, this movie is Chen Mo's true movie.

As September approaches, "Life Events" is officially announced to be completed, and the release date has also been set, December 12 this year!
However, the promotion of this movie gave Chen Mo a headache. Other movies could use some fancy promotions, but this movie really didn't need too much fancy promotion.

After all, this is a story about death.

For a movie like this, too much publicity would be counterproductive.

Therefore, they can only promote this movie in the usual way. In fact, Chen Mo attaches more importance to this movie than any other movie before, and he is more nervous and anxious about it than any other movie before.

For this reason, for the first time ever, he also started to personally promote the film.

He accepted the interview program "A Date with the Bass".

In fact, this program has invited him many times. No, not only this program, but many other personality interview programs have invited Chen Mo. It’s just that Chen Mo has rarely accepted such personality interview programs.

He had watched this show quite a bit in his past life, but what he remembered most vividly was Chen Luyu's "big head" and "Really? I don't believe it!"

Honestly, Chen Mo was quite looking forward to it, mainly out of a sense of wicked humor. He wondered if this classic scene would appear in his own interview: "Really? I don't believe it!"

"Hello everyone, welcome to the show "A Date with Bass." This episode, we have invited a very special guest."

"His deeds are legendary!"

"He used to be an actor!"

"I've been wrongly accused!"

“I once experienced the lowest point in my life!”

"But he broke out of the trough and became a director from an actor. He was praised as a publicity genius. He raised three fingers three times, and each time he made the impossible possible!"

"The TV series he shot were once popular in Asia, and the movies he made changed this country."

"From a minor celebrity to a billionaire director, and then to a billionaire, he is Director Chen Mo. Please welcome Director Chen Mo!"

There was thunderous applause at the scene, and Chen Mo walked out from behind the scenes.

"Professor Do!"

"Professor Do!"

The audience below all screamed.

Although Chen Mo has been an actor and was once very popular, he rarely has the opportunity to appear directly in front of his fans.

Not to mention such close contact.

"Hello, Director Chen, we finally got you here!" Chen Luyu said with a smile.

"Hello! Hello everyone! I am Chen Mo!" Chen Mo greeted her and the audience with a smile.

"I remember this is your first time on a personality interview program, Director Chen?" Chen Luyu asked.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Yes!"

"You have many identities: actor, star, director, rich man, and talent. Which one do you prefer?" Chen Luyu asked.

"Director!" Chen Mo said.

"Why?" Chen Luyu was surprised.

"Because this is my main job now, I like being a director!" Chen Mo said with a smile.

A characteristic of Chen Luyu's interview program is that there is no process. Sometimes she even asks whatever she thinks of.

No sooner had she asked this question than she suddenly turned around and asked, "Why didn't you accept the talk show before, but accepted it this time?"

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment and looked at Chen Luyu, who was small and had a big head, and was speechless. What kind of weird question was this?

However, since she asked, Chen Mo naturally couldn't refuse to answer. After all, it was not a difficult question.

"Because we are here to promote our new film 'Life Events'!" Chen Mo went straight to the point.

"Ah? Hahaha!" Chen Luyu was obviously embarrassed by Chen Mo's directness, and had to use her signature laughter to cover up her embarrassment of being embarrassed.

"I want to ask all the fans of Jiaoshou here, when you mention Chen Mo, what is the first thing that comes to your mind?" Chen Luyu once again did not follow the common sense and asked the audience directly.

"The Backstabbing Cult!" "Professor Do" "Ban Binbin!" "Cyberdefamation!"

The audience's answers were varied.

But the voice of the Stab-Back Cult is the loudest.

"Goose, goose, goose, the loudest thing I heard just now was 'The Knife-Stabbing Cult.'" Chen Luyu said after his signature goose laugh.

The Knife-Stabbing Sect: Thank you!
"Why did you suddenly switch careers to become a director?" She suddenly changed the subject.

Chen Mo was really convinced. It was worthy of you. Bass has an appointment. As expected, you asked whatever you thought of. It was very weird.

But I have to say, this is probably her characteristic.

A person is not afraid of being bad, but is afraid of having no characteristics!
"Because I can't be an actor anymore!" Chen Mo's answer not only surprised Chen Luyu, but also surprised the audience.

"Why? Wasn't the original problem resolved perfectly?" Chen Luyu asked the same question to the audience.

"Perfect solution? I believe everyone knows what happened back then. I was wronged, but did the crew know? They knew! Did the agency know? They knew too! Did the public know? They knew too!
But what was the result? My role in the production was significantly cut, and I was demoted from the second male lead to a minor role.

The agency had been clarifying things for me, but later on they forced me to apologize!
Why? Because I am Chen Mo, and only Chen Mo, just an ordinary little actor!
Do you think I could have continued to be an actor back then?" Chen Mo immediately revealed the big news.

Since we are going to personally participate in promoting the movie, then of course we will do it in the biggest way possible!
Of course, this is because Chen Mo’s identity is different now, so there is no need to worry so much.

"What do you think about the matter between Zhou Jie and Lin Xingru?" Chen Luyu is Chen Luyu, and he made another great move.

Not only Chen Mo, but the audience was also a little stunned. This drift was too outrageous. "What?" Chen Mo's mind was a little confused for a moment.

"Just yesterday, Zhou Jie posted a long post on Weibo for the first time in thirteen years, bitterly complaining about the years of smear campaigns against her by Lin Xingru. He also pointed out that mainland artists and Taiwanese artists were treated differently on set, sparking outrage among many netizens.

You two had similar experiences, but your subsequent circumstances and developments were completely different. What do you think about this?" Chen Luyu said.

You know what, when she asked this question, she was able to justify it in a miraculous way, but Chen Mo was speechless.

This Great Shift of the Universe must have reached the highest level, right?

Of course Chen Mo knew about the affair between Zhou Jie and Lin Xingru. After all, this was a big scandal that had been going on in the entertainment industry for twenty years.

In fact, Chen Mo actually went to ask Fan Binbin what happened back then.

The result is that Zhou Jie is indeed not very good at dealing with people, but he was definitely framed.

Moreover, back then, it was true that artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan were often treated differently from mainland artists on film crews.

There was no way around it. In those days, even the best actor and actress could only play supporting roles!

As for why no one spoke up for Zhou Jie? Not even Fan Binbin, because this kind of thing can't be solved by someone speaking up for him.

The point is, the relationship isn't that good.

For this kind of thing, even if it was Chen Mo, he would just watch the show. Chen Mo and Zhou Jie had no connection, so he naturally didn't need to get involved in this matter. But he never expected that this melon would be involved with him at this time.

But you know what, what Chen Luyu said does make some sense, because Zhou Jie's experience is, to some extent, somewhat similar to his.

The same is being wronged, who doesn't understand? When acting on the set, forcing a kiss and sticking out tongue is bullshit!
The key point is that you say one thing and do another, saying that the Zhou Jie incident affected her life, but she didn't seem to have any bad feelings during the kissing scene later on.

Sticking out your tongue? What the hell is that?! Auntie Qiong's scene, how can you not be a little wild?
"How can I put it? I can only say that the general environment was like that back then. If it happened now, I think everything might be different." Chen Mo said lightly.

Chen Luyu obviously felt that Chen Mo's ambiguous answer was not enough, so he asked again: "If it were you, choosing a partner, who would you prefer between these two?"

"Zhou Jie!" Chen Mo still answered.

"Why?" Chen Luyu asked.

"Although we haven't worked together, his acting skills are well-received. I also asked Fan Binbin about this matter, and she told me: He is a very kind person, very straightforward, and very loyal to his friends.

And more than one person said this, and they all spoke very highly of him.

While no one in the entertainment industry has directly defended Zhou Jie, a director who previously worked with him has commented on him as someone who tends to get stuck in corners. His seriousness about acting sometimes leads to obsessive-compulsive behavior that leads to arguments. This is perhaps what some people call being a big shot.

As for the other one, I have nothing to say.

Some things are not about what you say, but what you do next!" Chen Mo said.

"Actually, what Lao Guo said is quite true: if someone wants to discredit you, but your talent and acting skills are excellent and they can't find any fault with you, then they can only target your morality and character, and they're sure to succeed!"

"If you were Zhou Jie, what would you do?" Chen Luyu asked again.

Chen Mo was a little impatient. It’s not over yet, right?
But he still answered: "What would I do? If I were him, I wouldn't be able to do anything because I have no influence and nothing I say will make any difference. Let's end this topic here, okay?"

Chen Luyu also felt that Chen Mo was a little annoyed, so he quickly turned the topic back to the main topic.

"Tell me about your new play. It's called "Life Events", right? When will it be released?" Chen Luyu asked.

"It will premiere on December 12st." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"December 12st! Everyone remembers it, right?" Chen Luyu said to the camera with a smile.

Chen Mo smiled. It has to be said that even though he has been doing a program for more than ten or twenty years and has his shortcomings, he still understands the ways of the world.

Why did Chen Mo appear on the show? He said he was there to promote his new drama.

"Why did you think of making a funeral-themed drama like "Life Events"? " asked Chen Luyu.

"Everyone should know that my family is actually in the grave business. Regarding this industry, including graves and the funeral industry, I believe that many people will feel a little contempt or disgust in their hearts when they mention, oh, you are doing this." Chen Mo said.

"What about you? Do you feel disgusted too?" Chen Luyu asked.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "In the early years, it was true. When I was in school, I didn't even dare to tell others what my family did for fear of being ridiculed and discriminated against."

"Will it?" Chen Luyu asked.

"Of course, you can ask the audience here, if you are looking for a boyfriend or girlfriend, would you look for someone who works in this industry?" said Chen Mo.

Soon, staff members arranged to hand microphones to the audience.

The first person to take the microphone was a girl wearing glasses.

"If it's a grave sale, I think I might not mind too much, but if it's someone in the funeral industry, they would probably dislike it. Not only me, but my family probably wouldn't agree either."

The second one is a man.

"As for my girlfriend, I guess I would. It's like being a forensic doctor. Although I respect this profession, if I think about my girlfriend touching corpses every day, I think she would feel a little uncomfortable, right?"

It can be said that almost everyone expressed that they would mind.

"What about now? Why don't you mind?" Chen Luyu asked.

“As I’ve grown up and matured, I’ve come to understand that every industry needs people to do it. It’s precisely because everyone looks at them with strange eyes that it makes their lives even more difficult.

As for me, everything I eat, use, and spend is made by them. The money I earned from work that I was once too embarrassed to talk about may be despised by others, but it is me who should be the least despised." Chen Mo said sincerely.

"As for why I suddenly had the idea of ​​making the movie "Life Events", it actually has something to do with the experience of a childhood friend of mine," said Chen Mo.

"Childhood friend? Is he in the funeral industry?" Chen Luyu asked.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "Yes, and he can be said to be the real prototype of the character in "Life Events". If you have been paying attention to this movie, you should know that Zhu Yulong posted a video of him earlier."

"Let's take a look at this video." Chen Luyu had obviously done his preparations well.

Soon, the short video of Lao Qi crying appeared on the big screen.

"So, he is a professional mourner?" Chen Luyu asked after the video was over.

"Not really!" Chen Mo shook his head.

"Let me start from the beginning. I remember that day he called me and invited me to watch a play." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Watch a show?" Chen Luyu wondered.

Chen Mo pointed to a specific frame on the screen: "That's the scene where he's crying at a funeral."

"What's the result? What happened?" Chen Luyu asked.

"I teased him at the time, asking whether he would be a son or a grandson this time, and he said he would be a grandson," Chen Mo said again.

"It's just to mourn for someone's grandson, right?"

"Yes, I haven't seen him for a long time. He called me, and I happened to be at home, so I had to go and see him. In our hometown, if every industry has a star, then he is definitely well-known in the industry of crying funerals." Chen Mo explained.

"Then, when I arrived, I discovered that the photo displayed in the mourning hall was a photo of his grandfather."

"Did his grandfather really pass away?" Chen Luyu looked stunned.

The same was true for the audience at the scene.

"Yeah! Isn't it true that he is a grandson? But he behaved very badly at that funeral, and his crying was very fake." Chen Mo said with a sigh.

"His crying was so fake? Is he acting? But isn't that his biological grandfather?" Chen Luyu asked doubtfully.

"Yes! That's the key. Later I asked him, and he said that if he didn't act, he would cry." Chen Mo spread his hands helplessly.

"Can't cry?" Chen Luyu was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

"Yes, he couldn't cry. It's ironic, isn't it? He was a filial son and grandson to so many people, and he was an expert at crying at funerals, but when his own grandfather passed away, he couldn't cry."

"The reason is that he has seen too many scenes of life and death, and he has become numb to it. He is so numb that every time he cries at a funeral, he acts it out. When his grandfather passed away, he could only act it out.

This incident deeply touched me, so I started to learn more about this industry and discovered that he was not an isolated case.”

"It's like doctors who save lives and heal the wounded, but often some veteran doctors are indifferent to death because they have seen so much. If their emotions fluctuated like those of ordinary people, they probably wouldn't be able to be doctors. The same goes for the funeral industry."
