This director is vindictive.

Chapter 181 Thank you Director Chen, this demon cat girl is awesome

Chen Mo is so bad!
This is the new impression many people have after this incident.

Yes, many people think that Chen Mo really has no martial ethics.

Bullying the elderly!
Every word he said seemed to be correct.

You see, he said that he admires the older generation of directors the most, but what about it?

What do we admire them for? They spend a lot of money to do big things, but when we look at the movies they make, are your praises really justified?
What happened to the movies he praised, such as Zhang Yimou's "The Great Wall" and Chen Shishi's "The Legend of the Demon Cat"?
But you really can't say that he is mocking others, because what Chen Mo said was so sincere and heartfelt!

But you admire me so much, why don’t you do it?
As for his comments on the film's plot, he set the tone right at the beginning, successfully linking "Legend of the Demon Cat" and "The Promise", and then simply didn't mention it again.

But the key is, this is enough!
The final box office proved that Chen Mo's operation, which was incomprehensible to everyone, was very effective!

"Life Events" successfully won the box office championship in this period.

As for the "Legend of the Demon Cat" that he praised so much, it didn't even have one-third of the box office of "Life Events"!

To be honest, Chen Mo himself didn't expect the result to be like this.

As God knows, he was just having a bad taste, and he would never admit that he was just talking nonsense and being sarcastic even if you beat him to death.

"Everyone knows that I, Chen Mo, am an honest and trustworthy young man. How could I not respect my seniors? I don't even promote my own movies, but I keep praising my rivals' movies, okay?" Chen Mo said to Zhang Yuqi shamelessly.

The result was naturally that Zhang Yuqi rolled her eyes.

However, although the box office of "Legend of the Demon Cat" in which she starred lost to "Life Events", Zhang Yuqi was still very happy in her heart.

Moreover, although she didn't understand Chen Mo's routine this time, it did not prevent her from being even more amazed at Chen Mo's talent.

Seeing this bastard talking nonsense, she looked at him with eyes that were about to become thready.

Otherwise, why do they say that talented men have always attracted beautiful women since ancient times?
The more Chen Mo acted like this, the more attractive she found him.

Of course, this is also related to her own preferences, otherwise she would not have been coaxed into the hands of a bald old Wang. You have to know that the age difference between the two is more than 20 years.

Why else? Because of talent!
But now compared with Chen Mo, Lao Wang really has to lose!
"Well, although the movie hasn't been released yet, I should be considered the winner, right? Hehe." Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

You can say that "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is not good, but you cannot say that the appearance of the female characters in it is not good.

Especially Zhang Yuqi, her look in "The Legend of the Demon Cat" is really awesome!
Although this woman is fierce, she is really charming!
In "The Legend of the Demon Cat", she played four roles by herself, smart, heroic, charming and weird, all with ease.

While watching it, Chen Mo was a little impressed by Lao Chen. This movie was amazing.

At least when it comes to women’s styling, it’s really amazing!

The most different thing about Zhang Yuqi's makeup in "Legend of the Demon Cat" and other female stars' makeup is her eyebrows!
The "demon cat eyebrows" newly introduced in the movie combine both classic and charming qualities.

Zhang Yuqi is much more generous and natural in this regard than the other women.

Moreover, among the women, her fighting ability is the strongest.

"Wait!" Zhang Yuqi was willing to accept defeat and was very straightforward.

And this itself is also a kind of adjustment when men and women get along with each other.

Chen Mo couldn't help but feel a little excited.

When she appeared again, Chen Mo couldn't help swallowing.

Especially, this woman is really good at it! Not only did she wear the ladies' clothes in "The Legend of the Demon Cat", she also put on "demon cat eyebrows", and the whole person looks like a demon woman who walked out of the movie!
"Meow!"

The next moment, Chen Mo's eyes widened because he saw Zhang Yuqi slowly bent down and then lay on the ground like a cat.

Then he slowly crawled towards Chen Mo.

Her facial features are majestic and deep, and she is an aggressive "leopard-like" beauty who can easily stun people at first sight. In addition, her delicate makeup with slanted eyes and willow-shaped eyebrows, and her graceful figure with thin bones and plump muscles, makes her look like she has walked out of a painting of a beautiful lady.

But she made herself look like she was possessed by a demon cat, which instantly highlighted her "leopard-like" beauty to the fullest.

Even when she climbed up Chen Mo's legs and onto his body, Chen Mo felt goosebumps.

When she stuck out her tongue and licked Chen Mo's ear gently, making a "meow" sound.

Chen Mo lost all his rationality in an instant.

If he can still withstand this, he would not be Deng Chao in "The Mermaid"!
A night of dancing fish and dragons! Chen Mo just wanted to say, "Poet Chen is awesome, Li Longji is so lucky." Well, now he's also...
However, although it was fun, the tiger woman was also really fierce. When Chen Mo woke up the next day, he still felt a burning sensation on his back.

This tiger woman was really too engrossed in her acting, or too involved, and was actually scratched by Chen Mo like a cat.

As a man, Chen Mo finally endured everything silently!
And this is just the beginning. After all, in "The Legend of the Demon Cat", she plays four roles!
There were several sets of costumes and makeup, how could they all be shown in one night?

So, in the next few days, Chen Mo was really in pain and happy.

However, Chen Mo soon felt something was wrong, because this tiger woman seemed to have ulterior motives.

"Are you really in your safe period recently?" Chen Mo finally couldn't help but ask.

"No!" Zhang Yuqi said frankly.

"Don't you like children?" Zhang Yuqi asked somewhat sadly.

"No, the main thing is, are you sure you have made your decision?" Chen Mo asked.

In fact, Chen Mo has always let things take their course in this regard. After all, he cannot give her a truly complete family.

So he never forced it.

"Yes, I'm thirty years old this year!" Zhang Yuqi said, leaning in Chen Mo's arms.

Chen Mo suddenly thought of the epidemic that would last for a long time in two years. If he really wanted a child, it would be best to do so in these two years. Otherwise, during the epidemic, he would not dare to have a child even if he wanted one.

For three consecutive days, Chen Mo didn't know whether he won or not.

2017 passed and 2018 came.

"Ex-Files 3: The Final Chapter" became the first hit of 2018. This movie, which was not optimistic about the future, turned out to be a huge hit.

Instead, the previous protagonists of "Life Events" and "The Legend of the Demon Cat" have completely become supporting roles.

However, the box office of "Life Events" has already exceeded 10 billion. There is no hope for the final landing point of 20 billion, but 15 billion is still very stable.

Chen Mo was very satisfied with this result.

Perhaps it was because the sequel "Ex-Files 3: Goodbye Ex" suddenly became so popular that Huayi tasted the sweetness of sequels, so they actually wanted to start a sequel to another movie.

Feng Dagang's "Cell Phone"!
Don’t ask why Chen Mo knew this, because "Cell Phone" is going to have a sequel and the original cast will be used.

The main focus is on emotion!

And Fan Binbin is the heroine of this movie!

So she will definitely not be left out of the sequel.

Of course, Fan Binbin also told Chen Mo about this matter. "Do you think I should accept it?" Fan Binbin specifically went to Chen Mo to ask this.

Speaking of this, Chen Mo suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Fan Binbin was investigated for tax evasion, and the opportunity was the movie "Cell Phone 2"!
It can be said that Cui Yongyuan came prepared and had sufficient materials in his hands. In the end, he angrily criticized Feng Dagang and Liu Zhenyun, but made Fan Binbin the target.

It was he who exposed the secret of the Yin-Yang contract.

Everyone knows what happened later. Fan Binbin was directly investigated for tax evasion.

On the contrary, Feng Dagang was fine!
"Are you sure you have dealt with everything I told you before?" Chen Mo brought up the old matter again seriously.

"What's the matter?" Fan Binbin was also a little surprised when he saw Chen Mo's expression and asked in confusion.

"The problem of tax evasion!" Chen Mo said, looking at her.

Upon hearing this, Fan Binbin immediately said angrily, "You don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, but this is the bottom line. I told you before, and now I just want to confirm it!" Chen Mo said.

"Everything has been handled. What should be paid has been paid, and what should be paid has been paid. Even the tax department awarded me the Tax Pioneer Award!" said Fan Binbin.

"Including the Yin-Yang contract?" Chen Mo asked again.

"Yin-Yang contract?" Fan Binbin looked confused.

"'The Great Bombing'!" said Chen Mo.

"You know all this?" Fan Binbin looked surprised.

"Is that what happened?" Chen Mo looked at her with some disappointment.

"No, no, you've already told me at that time. How could I do such a thing? My agent told me that I could do it this way, but I didn't do it!" Fan Binbin said with a somewhat aggrieved look.

"That's good! This is a red line, don't cross it. If you are short of money, tell me. There is no need to embezzle the taxes that you should pay." Chen Mo said earnestly.

"I understand. Don't worry. I will go back and check and see if there are any problems. But, does this matter have anything to do with "Cell Phone 2"? " Fan Binbin asked with some confusion.

"You should be familiar with Cui Yongyuan, right?" Chen Mo asked.

"Old Cui! You mean he will change his mind about Cell Phone 2? That can't be the case, right? It's been more than ten years." Fan Binbin thought it was unlikely.

It has been fifteen years, and perhaps even Feng Dagang feels that time is enough to smooth everything out. However, some people and some things may not mean much to him, but for some people, they are enough to be remembered for a lifetime.

Chen Mo could actually understand Lao Cui. If it were him, he would definitely not forget this matter so easily.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this movie changed Lao Cui's life.

Moreover, Feng Dagang is really not worthy of being someone's friend. When Feng Dagang was preparing to shoot "Cell Phone", Lao Cui was still "CCTV's No. 1 Mouthpiece". The "Tell the Truth" program he hosted was known as one of the most successful talk shows launched by CCTV and was almost a household name.

Feng Dagang invited him to his home to persuade him to act, but Cui Yongyuan said that he could not act in movies and the TV station would not allow him to act. Although he did not participate in the film, Cui Yongyuan still gave a lot of advice from his own professional perspective and provided a lot of help for the film.

But the result?
Upon its release, the film received a huge response due to its realistic plot and thought-provoking dialogue. In the story, Ge You plays Yan Shouyi, the host of the popular talk show "Straight Talk," who begins an extramarital affair due to his cell phone. One day, he forgets his phone at home, and his wife discovers his affair. After Yan Shouyi leaves the show, Fan Binbin's mistress, Wu Yue, takes over as the new female host of "Straight Talk."

Due to the unprecedented impact, all media at the time tried their best to extract content from the movie that reflected real life and reflected it in news reports and analysis, which also became a point of anger for Cui Yongyuan.

Because the thing in the movie that has the highest degree of coincidence with reality, from the protagonist to the plot, is Lao Cui and his show "Telling the Truth".

The film "Cell Phone" not only offers a striking allusion to Lao Cui's real life, but its theme of extramarital affairs also transforms the normal "temporary replacement due to illness" into a "mistress taking over." Consequently, after the film's release, rumors of "Cui is a scumbag" spread like wildfire. For a time, the public mistakenly identified Yan Shouyi in the film with the real-life Lao Cui, believing that Yan Shouyi was modeled after Lao Cui, a heinous scumbag who abandoned his wife and children.

In an interview with People Weekly many years ago, Lao Cui even regarded this insinuation as a "dangerous trap."

That's why in his previous life he was so indignant after learning that Feng Dagang was going to start filming "Cell Phone 2".

Although Lao Cui denied the rumors after the release of "Cell Phone" at a press conference, and Feng Dagang also responded to them in an interview, in that era when media and communications were not yet developed, the impact of film screenings was much stronger than interviews and press conferences. Because of "Cell Phone", he was subjected to various malicious slanders and even suspected depression, and faded from the audience's sight.

"Hasn't he reconciled with Feng Dagang?" Fan Binbin still felt it was unlikely.

"Haha, there's nothing wrong with making up, but the damage that the 'Cell Phone' incident has done to Lao Cui is so severe that it's no exaggeration to say it's his nightmare. We can make up if 'Cell Phone' isn't mentioned, but as soon as 'Cell Phone' is mentioned, we even want to shoot 'Cell Phone 2'. For Lao Cui, doesn't this mean that all his past apologies were bullshit?" Chen Mo asked back.

"This"

"Also, if "Cell Phone 2" is filmed and promoted, do you think that "Cell Phone" will be mentioned?" Chen Mo asked again.

Fan Binbin was at a loss for words, because since it was a sequel, how could it not play on the sentimentality?

As long as they play the sentimental card, as long as they still use the same name, and as long as it is a sequel to "Cell Phone", then they cannot avoid the first part.

So this problem has no solution.

"So you hope I don't answer it?" Fan Binbin asked.

"Yes, to put it bluntly, this sequel was made just to make money, and besides, you are really not that important in this movie." Chen Mo said bluntly.

"If you accept it, Lao Cui will have no way to deal with Feng Dagang and Liu Zhenyun, and you will be the best target. Do you believe it?" Chen Mo said again.

He felt that he was really worried to death!
Although Fan Binbin has listened to advice and eliminated the biggest risk in advance, the disappearance of such things in the entertainment industry does not mean that other things will disappear too.

I want to attack you. If I can't kill you, I can at least disgust you to death! The key is that there is really no need!
At the same time, Chen Mo actually sympathized more with Lao Cui about this matter. Mainly because, to put it bluntly, what Feng Dagang and Liu Zhenyun did was indeed too much.

As for the early days of "Cell Phone", it's been so many years now, and it's over.

But the old story is brought up again. Even if you say that "Cell Phone 2" and "Cell Phone" do not have much connection, is it possible?
Back then, Lao Cui even suffered from depression and nearly committed suicide because of this. Now that the original creators have brought up this incident again, they will definitely continue to maliciously exploit this incident and open up scars. Naturally, this will cause Lao Cui secondary harm.

In fact, this matter had caused a lot of uproar in the previous life, and it was also involved in Fan Binbin's tax evasion case, so Chen Mo actually knew a lot about it.

At that time, Lao Cui learned that "Cell Phone 2" was about to start filming again.

He later sent a pleading message to Liu Zhenyun on WeChat, which he then publicly posted on Weibo. Liu Zhenyun herself promised, "It won't be called 'Cell Phone,' but 'Friends Circle.' It's a completely new story." Unexpectedly, the poster for the film was still titled "Cell Phone 2."

No one can bear this!
I apologized three times in a row and made promises, but they all turned out to be bullshit.

No one can accept this! Why?

For this reason, the reporter asked, "Do you hope that the filming of Cell Phone 2 will be stopped?"

Lao Cui directly stated, "There's no need to stop filming. I feel like that would make me seem too weak. I feel like when I was talking to Liu Zhenyun, I spoke from the perspective of a father protecting his daughter, a husband protecting his wife, and a colleague protecting his colleague. I almost bowed down to you. But you still behave like this, so you can write whatever you want. If you don't want to call it 'Cell Phone 2,' you can just call it 'The Story of Choi Won-yong,' it doesn't matter."

In fact, at this moment, Lao Cui has completely given up.

Later, some people said that Lao Cui had become an internet troll, and that he should have just dealt with the matter at hand and not involved the people around him. The online violence he and the people around him had suffered in the past should not have been passed on to others.

But Chen Mo just wanted to say that, don’t advise others to be good without having experienced their suffering!

"Then I'd better refuse!" Fan Binbin finally listened to Chen Mo.

"Well, actually, Shengshi Pictures is going to be listed this year. You really don't need to make that controversial movie. If you want to act in the future, it would be better to invest yourself." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Will it be launched this year? Is that confirmed?" Fan Binbin asked.

"It's confirmed. I just received the notice that the company will enter a silent period and is expected to go public in a few months." Chen Mo nodded.
