This director is vindictive.

Chapter 45: What is a French funeral? Is it a French funeral?
To be honest, although these were the promotional strategies agreed upon by Chen Mo and the three major video websites, he really didn't expect to deliberately touch upon the great poet Chen.

But who could have imagined that the great poet Chen would be so powerful? There's nothing we can do about it. If we don't hype him up, who else can we hype up?

"Aren't you angry at all?" Cao Bing, Sohu's vice president, looked at Chen Mo in surprise.

"Why are you angry?" Chen Mo disagreed.

"People are calling you a nobody, and you're not angry?" Cao Bing asked Chen Mo curiously.

"What's there to be angry about? Who is he? He is the only Chinese director to win the Palme d'Or. It's normal for him to look down on a little Karami like me. I even think he didn't scold me harshly enough." Chen Mo said with a smile.

Cao Bing couldn't help but stand in awe. He had previously thought that Chen Mo could fabricate the first case of online defamation, and he felt that Chen Mo was young and would not tolerate any grievances. However, he didn't expect that he was wrong.

He was the one who led this publicity strategy, including immediately rehashing "A Murder Caused by a Bun" and the old feud between poet Chen after receiving the news, and the effect was obviously very good.

He even wanted to add fuel to the fire and let Chen Mo directly confront the great poet Chen, but now it seems that Chen Mo is really not angry at all.

Chen Mo was really not angry. He just asked for it.

Not to mention now, even in the future, when online movies are all the rage, won’t they still be recognized in the eyes of directors in the mainstream film industry?

Otherwise, Chen Mo in his previous life would not have been so determined to break into the mainstream film industry and make movies for theaters.

That is to say, up to now, there have not been a large number of shoddy and bad online movies, otherwise they would have been criticized even more harshly.

Compared with the publicity scale of "The Orphan of Zhao", Chen Mo's "Mr. Vampire" is really not good enough.

However, after the great poet Chen cursed like this, he was finally caught in the act of hitting the car.

As for directly standing up and confronting the great poet Chen, Chen Mo knew very well that too much is as bad as too little. If he stood up, it might backfire. After all, the gap in status was too big. He told everyone clearly that he was just trying to scam people. It was not an act of covering one's ears and stealing the bell, or being both a hypocrite or something like that. It was really enough.

Recently, the attention paid to "Mr. Vampire" and the popularity of online movies have obviously soared.

Even some people who hadn't paid attention before became curious.

Chen Mo really didn't think it was a big deal, and there were many movie promotions that were more excessive than this. If you can't even stand this, then you'd better not get involved in the entertainment industry.

This is completely different from the stabbing incident.

However, Chen Mo and the video website were secretly trying to make trouble for him, openly touching the tiger's butt, and even re-hyping Chen Mo's "The Promise" and "A Murder Caused by a Bun". This made Chen Mo very angry. But now he understood that they were simply trying to make trouble for him. If he said anything more, it would be just what they wanted. He felt very uncomfortable because he couldn't vent his anger.

If there is any dark history that the great poet Chen is most reluctant to touch, then "A Murder Caused by a Steamed Bun" is definitely it.

The great poet Chen didn't take Chen Mo seriously at all, or maybe he didn't even know Chen Mo, but he still had to consider several video websites.

The promotion of the online movie is actually because this is Chen Mo's first online movie, and the concept of online movies has just emerged. Otherwise, the video website would not have put so much effort into it.

Chen Mo was working on his own movie, while the video website wanted to promote the concept of online movies, which led to this situation.

It can be said that this is the benefit that the first person to eat crabs can enjoy.

Friday, December 12rd, 3pm.

"Mr. Vampire" is officially launched on Sohu, Youku, and LeTV, the three largest Internet video websites.

Thanks to the large-scale publicity before and the outstanding contribution made by the great poet Chen, quite a few people are paying attention to this film.

Wang Guang returned to the dormitory early and asked several roommates to sit in front of the computer to watch the movie together.

They even turned off the lights to create a better atmosphere for watching movies.

The movie opens with a scene of the charity cemetery.

Although the coffins and memorial tablets were brightly lit, the atmosphere still gave Wang Guang and the others a sense of unease. Huang Bo's character, Wencai, drew aside the curtains, revealing a row of zombies dressed in Qing dynasty official uniforms, each with a yellow talisman taped to their foreheads.

Wencai was ordered to inspect the charity cemetery, light lamps for the zombies, and burn incense for the coffins.

Suddenly, the coffin that had just inserted the incense suddenly pushed the incense out.

Wang Guang and the others immediately widened their eyes with anticipation. Well, actually, they still felt a little nervous.

"I'm coming!"

Wencai opened the coffin to check, and suddenly a skull popped out and bit his hand, which scared Wang Guang and others.

However, when he shook off the skull, a hand suddenly stretched out from the coffin and grabbed his hand.

This series of sudden attacks still made Wang Guang and others a little surprised.

The following plot is a farce in which Qiu Sheng pretends to be a zombie to scare Wencai, causing the real zombie to almost escape. The farce begins with Qiu Sheng teasing Wencai, reaches its climax when the real zombie moves and both of them are scared away, and ends with the appearance of two Taoist priests who come to subdue the zombie.

Although it is only the first part of the plot, it has a complete beginning, development, turning point and ending.

The previous sense of horror was instead filled with joy because of the funny actions interspersed in it and the personalities of several different characters.

There is a reason why "Mr. Vampire" is hailed as the most classic zombie movie.

This first farce first shows the behavioral characteristics of zombies and how to deal with them, and introduces the character with the greatest ability to eliminate zombies - Taoist priest Jiushu. It also shows the stubbornness and carelessness of Qiu Sheng and Wencai, laying the groundwork for the subsequent plot.

Wang Guang and others also watched it with great interest. They were startled from time to time and couldn't help laughing from time to time.

Moreover, this first plot shows a lot of things and sets the style of a supernatural film for this film.

Props for dealing with zombies, such as Bagua mirrors, lotus lanterns, and talisman paper, were also displayed.

For a moment, Wang Guang and several people in the dormitory were immersed in it.

This five-minute opening scene made everyone start to have more expectations for this film, and the film quickly entered the main storyline.

Relocated the ancestral grave for the local wealthy Mr. Ren.

Although this scene does not have any fighting scenes or any thrilling or scary scenes, it is one of the classic scenes in this movie.

Uncle Jiu demonstrated his professionalism and demeanor here.

"This hole is called the Dragonfly Touching Water Hole. It is 34 feet long, but only 4 feet are usable. It is 13 feet wide, but only 3 feet are usable. Therefore, the coffin cannot be buried flat, it must be buried in a proper way!" Uncle Jiu was wearing a Taoist robe, with his hands behind his back, walking and commenting on this Feng Shui treasure land.

For Wang Guang and others, this kind of Feng Shui metaphysical knowledge is completely incomprehensible to them.

But at this moment, Wencai, played by Huang Bo, ran out again to break the solemn atmosphere.

"Master, what is a French burial? Is it a French-style funeral?" Wencai asked seriously, which made people burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! What a fucking French funeral." Wang Guang and others burst into laughter.

"The so-called legal burial means burying the body upright! Am I right?" There is a reason why the character of Uncle Jiu has become so popular with the audience.

It's not just because he is a zombie Taoist priest, but also because of his personality.

In this scene, Awei, played by Wang Xun, had previously bumped Qiu Sheng away, but Uncle Jiu immediately avenged his apprentice. When he walked to the side of Master Ren, he deliberately bumped Awei away.

This character instantly adds a lot of comfortable flavor.
