This director is vindictive.

As mentioned earlier, The Truman Show was very ahead of its time. In a sense, the internet was just emerging at that time, so the medium was television.

But actually, in the ending of "The Truman Show," the audience asked, "What's next?"

On the contrary, it is more in line with the current Internet era.

Of course, the news of Chen Mo's retirement from the entertainment industry was big enough, and the "show" was interesting enough, so it naturally became the "Truman Show" in the eyes of the public!
Don't be fooled by the current clamor for Chen Mo not to retire, acting as if it's a matter of life and death, as if the entertainment industry's loss of Chen Mo is like the West's inability to lose its holy land, Jerusalem.

But if you take it too seriously, you'll lose! Never think too highly of yourself!

Chen Mo is quite clear-headed about this!
He's not so naive as to actually believe that the world, the entertainment industry, can't function without him.

The world keeps turning even if someone's gone, and the entertainment industry keeps singing and dancing even if someone's gone! There'll always be plenty of gossip to enjoy!
Believe it or not, once he's completely retired, everyone will continue searching for the next "Truman," just like in the ending of "The Truman Show."

Perhaps the next "Truman" won't be as exciting, but that's all!

Of course, Chen Mo's experiences are indeed very rich, with many noteworthy, gossipy, and amusing aspects.

Why did the hashtag #If there were no Chen Mo in the entertainment industry# become so popular, which was spontaneously created by netizens?

It was because everyone suddenly realized that Chen Mo's experience was outrageously rich compared to other celebrities or directors in the industry.

So even if Chen Mo is "The Truman Show", he is definitely "The Ultimate Truman Show"!
The development of this topic far exceeded the public's expectations. Even the instigator probably never imagined that this topic would become the hottest and most explosive topic recently.

Various media outlets, marketing accounts, and self-media platforms have all jumped into the fray.

Some marketing accounts have started using legal references.

The title is: Those people Chen Mo sent to jail all those years!
Starting with the "Backstabbing Cult Incident" that everyone is most familiar with, Chen Mo has already established his persona as a legal expert.

As we all know, Chen Mo has broken many rules in the entertainment industry, one of which is the most obvious.

That is, he generally doesn't play games with you when there's a problem. Tactics commonly used by celebrities, such as lawyer's letters and warnings, are completely non-existent with him. According to incomplete statistics, Chen Mo has never issued a lawyer's letter so far because he always goes straight to the point. Whenever possible, he will first collect evidence and then directly make you receive a court summons!
Now let's take stock of all the people Chen Mo has taken to court and imprisoned over the years!
The earliest example can be traced back to the female protagonist of the "Backstabbing Cult Incident," the leader of the Backstabbing Cult: Fang Xiaoxiao!
Secondly, we must thank the members of the "Backstabbing Cult" once again.

If it weren't for them, there might not be a Chen Mo today. They not only provided Chen Mo with his first pot of gold as a director (compensation and settlement money), but also transformed Chen Mo from an actor into a director!

The netizen "Snow Fish" is probably the first person in legal history to be sent to jail for online defamation.

The infamous first case of online defamation back then—truly deserving of its title!

Later, those indirectly imprisoned included the first major case of cyberbullying that garnered nationwide attention due to the movie "Caught in the Web."

Back then, this major cyberbullying case set a record for the number of people prosecuted, a record that remains unbroken to this day!

It is well known that it is rare for celebrities to sue the media, but according to statistics, Chen Mo has sued the media the most since his debut.

Several media outlets and self-media platforms reported on the story of a man who was "worth billions but never gave away a penny."

Rumors spread that Chen Mo's film was plagiarized, and that Gao Yuanyuan was secretly filmed during her pregnancy by reporters, etc.

And the extreme netizens who recently engaged in moral blackmail have also been sued and are currently undergoing legal proceedings.

According to the data we obtained, since Chen Mo's debut, he has sent more than 100 people to jail! And the number of cases prosecuted exceeds 100!

He's a true legal expert!

This topic quickly sparked a lot of banter and teasing from netizens and fans.

"I suggest Chen Mo retire and become a bar exam lecturer. His 'Complete Collection of Criminal Law Cases' should be renamed 'Boss Chen's Revenge'!" (Attached is a photoshopped image: Chen Mo in a judge's robe, holding a gavel with the words "Specializing in Curing All Dissent" engraved on it.)

"In the past, when celebrities sent lawyer's letters, it was called a 'warning.' Now, Chen Mo's summons is called a 'precision airdrop'!" (doge.jpg)

"About the fact that my idol is actually the head of the Longcheng Legal Branch" (accompanied by a meme of Zhang Chulan from "Under One Person")
"The Chinese entertainment industry should establish a 'Chen Mo Deterrence Day'—on this day every year, marketing accounts collectively fall silent, for fear of receiving silver handcuff merchandise!" (laughing and crying.jpg)

"Now the insults have escalated: 'If you spread rumors again, do you believe I'll take on your rights like Chen Mo?' (referring to sending the other party to jail)" (Rocket x3)

"Suddenly I understand why the Seven Fairies retired from the entertainment industry so decisively—with Boss Chen acting in 'Legal High' every day, who has time to film anything else!" (Attached: Komekado rubbing his hands in 'Legal High'.gif)

"I used to think 'sending you to the trending topics' was a threat, but now I realize that Chen Mo's 'sending you to the defendant' is the real 'dimensional reduction attack' (covering face and crying cat emoji)"
Seeing that their peers started to use legal review strategies, other marketing accounts quickly seemed to have discovered the secret to generating traffic as well.

Soon enough, some self-media accounts produced a similar review article.

The title is: "A Look Back at Chen Mo's 'Firsts' Over the Years!"

"Chen Mo has so many commendable qualities. Today, let's take stock of Chen Mo's pioneering and first-ever achievements!"
First and foremost, as is widely known, this was the first case of online defamation fabricated in response to the "Backstabbing Cult"!
This case had a far-reaching impact, and it is still listed by the Supreme People's Procuratorate as a model and guiding case for online defamation!

Moreover, this case has also broken the long-standing unspoken rules of the entertainment industry.

What unspoken rules?

Many people might find the "Backstabbing Cult" incident novel—slinging mud, betraying one's brother for a woman, all the elements are there. But what I want to tell you is that this is actually quite normal in the entertainment industry.

Today, let's delve into the shady practices behind the "Backstabbing Cult" incident!

This is probably why the members of the Backstabbing Cult are so fearless.

What is the normal procedure? The normal procedure is that everyone knows Chen Mo was wronged!

But back then, not a single member of the Backstabbing Cult apologized; in fact, many people thought it was perfectly normal.

They were clearly wronged, yet they were forced to hold a press conference and publicly apologize!

An apology press conference is a must! Not only must it be held, but it must be a tearful and deeply remorseful statement. Do you know what it means to "swallow one's pride and suffer in silence"? This is it! If things had followed the usual procedure back then, the encyclopedia entry would now say "Chen Mo was blacklisted by the industry for assault on set," believe it or not?
Is it a decline in morality or a distortion of human nature?

The answer is, this is the entertainment industry!

Back then, Chen Mo was just a minor, third-tier celebrity, while the members of the "Backstabbing Cult" were: some were children of directors, some were children of stars, and some were backed by private film and television giants. In terms of background and fame, none of them could compare to Chen Mo at that time.

So, even though Chen Mo was clearly wronged and the truth came out, he still had to come out and apologize, feeling wronged!
And so, as we all know, what happened next.

Chen Mo flipped the table, and at the same time cut himself off from the entertainment industry. After all, no one would dare to hire an actor who dared to flip the table at any time to act!

Not only is this the first case of online defamation, but it is also the first case in the entertainment industry where an absolutely weak minor star has broken the unspoken rules!
Since then, a new unspoken rule has emerged in the entertainment industry: Never mess with Chen Mo, he really dares to send you to jail! (Tactical lean back and light a cigarette.jpg)

Of course, putting aside the entertainment industry, this first case of online defamation is worth writing about, because it truly demonstrates for the first time that the internet is not a lawless zone!

Everyone must be responsible for their words!
Therefore, this first place has a far-reaching impact!
The biggest cyberbullying case fabricated for the sake of "Search"!

This first case is not only the biggest case of cyberbullying, but it also created the first model of watching a movie ending in real life!

It truly brought movies to life!

This case also has a wider impact than the first online defamation case involving the "Backstabbing Cult".

Next, we'll discuss Chen Mo's groundbreaking commercial marketing innovations, which have earned him the reputation of a marketing master. As the popular saying goes: the ultimate goal of internet celebrities and stars is live-streaming e-commerce!
In fact, as early as during the filming of "Candle in the Tomb: The Lost City", Chen Mo pioneered the live-streaming e-commerce model and achieved unprecedented success!

The "Collect Five Blessings" campaign was supposedly originally intended to be a collaboration between Chen Mo and Alibaba, but the deal fell through. This led to the later "National Dragon Treasure Hunt" campaign in collaboration with Pinduoduo. This movie promotion model was also pioneered by Chen Mo!

Although Chen Mo did not coin the concept of smart homes, he was the first to showcase a complete smart home concept through a TV series, "My Love from the Star."

Even the smart home demonstrations in "My Love from the Star" still feature many technologies that were ahead of their time, even by today's standards!

Therefore, this "first" should be considered as the first person to propose a complete concept of smart homes!
When it comes to celebrities and cars, most of us can probably associate them with celebrities endorsing a particular car model or brand.

But Chen Mo has once again set a precedent: a celebrity building a car!

Many people were laughing at us back then, but what happened?
Chen Mo really did build it! The MINI car, a childhood toy dream for many men, is now on the road!

Not to mention, the most amazing thing that followed was that he single-handedly created the globally popular 814 Welfare Festival!
There are so many firsts here.

814 Welfare Festival: Number One in Participation!

The number of times, quantity, and amount of benefits given away are all the highest!

At the same time, the number of online viewers was the highest.
These facts are indeed sufficient proof of his talent and creativity.

But what I truly admire, or rather, what I admire most, is not these things.

He is not only widely recognized as the number one "scumbag" in the Chinese entertainment industry!
He is also the first person to have turned the derogatory term "scumbag" into a positive term when used to describe him.

He even meticulously arranged a series of traditional Chinese wedding attire for his "scumbag" partners and his confidantes.

The Huayun Wedding Attire series of promotional videos, consisting of seven films, has generated over 10 billion yuan in box office revenue! The box office revenue generated by this series alone is a height that countless directors could never reach in their entire lives!
The commercial that topped the box office was also produced by Chen Mo!
He publicly acknowledged his relationships with seven female celebrities, yet received countless blessings from many people; he was the first to do so!
"

This list of "firsts" quickly went viral.

Many netizens were surprised to learn that Chen Mo had so many innovative ideas!

"Holy crap, I never knew Chen Mo had so many awesome skills!"

"The most outrageous thing is the MINI electric car! Back then, the whole internet mocked 'celebrity-made cars are bound to fail,' but now the streets are full of 'Chen Mo's happy car'—driving a MINI could be a millionaire or a working-class person. I would call this wave of class-blurring marketing a 'dimensional reduction attack'!" (Attached is a MINI car sticker slogan: The owner's savings do not exceed five figures)
"The Huayun Wedding Attire series is the real nuclear bomb! While others lose fans when they announce their relationships, Chen Mo's seven announcements have made him a god! I suggest renaming the crash course for scumbags: 'From Beginner to Burial - On the 108 Galaxy Gaps Between You and Chen Mo' (laughing and crying.jpg)"

"You guys are all making memes, but I'm kneeling down to thank 'All or Nothing' and the $100 million bounty! Before, telecom fraudsters were so arrogant they'd recruit people on live streams, but now they wet their pants at the mere mention of 'Chen Mo'—this is real legal education!" (Salute.gif)

"The 'Backstabbing Cult' teaches us: Never underestimate a young person's potential! Because you never know if this Xiao Yan of the entertainment industry might suddenly transform, control a strange fire, and burn you all to ashes!"

"Hilarious! Insults have evolved to this point: 'What are you pretending to be, Chen Mo?' (referring to someone who has no wealth but wants to have a harem)" (with accompanying image: a panda head holding a rose and rolling its eyes.)

Ten years later, the award citation for "Touching the World" reads:

'He put cyberbullies in jail, bankrupted telecom fraudsters, and made scumbags ashamed and quit the internet. A modern-day Lu Bu? No, he's the only true god in the entertainment industry!' (Fireworks effects x10)

As the "first" review went viral, more netizens spontaneously joined this "Chen Mo archaeology movement," unearthing all sorts of obscure data, and the trending topics list became Chen Mo's personal showcase.

#The first celebrity to have their retirement ceremony gross over 40 billion yuan at the box office#
(The mockumentary film "Back to the Dream" outperformed other commercial blockbusters at the box office.)
#The first non-police person to solve a case using a bounty#
(The case of missing Tianjin fans was solved in a lightning-fast 48 hours)
#The first top celebrity to receive countless female fans' advances because of his "scumbag" reputation#
(A landslide victory in the online poll for the most perfect lover in the entertainment industry!)
Weibo influencer @DataMadman even created a dynamic long image titled "Chen Mo's 100 Firsts".

It lists Chen Mo's many "firsts" and "firsts" in more detail!
Many of them are so obscure that even die-hard fans are shocked.

For example, Chen Mo's forgotten predictions about the future development trend of smartphones have now come true one by one.

For example, many of the prophecies that appeared in the movie "Goodbye Mr. Loser" actually came true.

Not only did "Ne Zha 2" surpass 10 billion yuan at the box office, but there were also predictions of celebrities falling from grace. Although pseudonyms were used in "Goodbye Mr. Loser," these details were still matched up by the editor! The key point is that after watching it, everyone thought, "Wow, it's incredibly accurate!"

For example, when Chen Mo recommended stocks, it was his first time recommending stocks as a celebrity public figure, but those who believed in Chen Mo have already made a fortune!

Needless to say, the others are even more obvious.

Chen Mo is the director who has used film to influence reality the most.

The movie "Caught in the Web" influenced cyberbullying cases, "Dying to Survive" promoted the inclusion of anti-cancer drugs in medical insurance, and "All or Nothing" brought a devastating blow to telecom fraud, among other things.

Of course, netizens also had their share of hilarious antics:

[The first boss to make the legal department more famous than the talent department!]

(Comparison photos attached: Lung Shing's legal team of suited thugs VS the daily slacking off of the artist department)
"I suggest renaming it 'Dragon City Pizza Hut,' its success rate in lawsuits is higher than its pizza order fulfillment rate!" (doge.jpg)

"What's most impressive is that while other companies like 'Nanshan Invincible' are just synonyms for capital using its power to oppress others, Chen Mo never bullies anyone. He only takes care of sending lawbreakers to jail!"

"No problem, what do you call this? This is called staying true to your original aspiration! After all, the first bite of meat Chen Mo ate back then was compensation from the Backstabbing Cult!"

[The first top celebrity to be forced to retire from the entertainment industry because he was too good at making money!]

(Accompanied by Wang Duoyu's line from "Hello Mr. Billionaire": "The more money I spend, the more painful it is!")
"Others retire from the entertainment industry because they're no longer popular, but Chen Mo retired because the money was too hot to handle!" (laughing and crying emoji)

"Because it's so profitable, we have to leave some room for others to survive! Hahaha!"

[The first philanthropist to convert a group of telecom fraudsters into other professions by offering a bounty!]

(Screenshot from the dark web with blurred image and text: "If you see this man's face, please turn yourself in immediately")
"I suggest putting up a sign at the entrance of the North Park: 'Chen Mo's bounty target is inside; tourists stop here!'" (Facepalm.jpg)

[The first time management master to turn a 'scumbag' into an honorary title!]

(Course schedule edited: "How to balance the schedules of seven wives - Master Chen Mo's course")
"How much are those women who married into wealthy families? How much are Chen Mo's women? This is the effect of money power, okay?"

"Money power is one thing, but Chen Mo isn't actually as rich as those from wealthy families. The biggest problem is that he really does give money!"

"That's right, having money power and having money power are really used frequently, and there's a big difference between them!"

Why did the term "scumbag" take on a different meaning when applied to Chen Mo?
A: When you can turn every one of your wives into a billionaire, a top-tier celebrity, and the ultimate dream girl on the internet after they retire—

Netizens will only kneel down and shout, "Does Daddy need a son-in-law?" (and won't curse the scumbag).

There's nothing wrong with this; if people like to play, then let them play.

However, the sudden change in style caught Chen Mo off guard!

Or rather, even he himself didn't expect it to be so surreal.

The ridiculous rumors that happen to other celebrities also happen to him in a seemingly legitimate way.

The key point is that the entire internet started playing it. (End of Chapter)
