This director is vindictive.

Chapter 91 Mr. Liu is just outside the door

Time flies, and "The Shallows" has finished filming.

"I declare that The Shallows has finished filming! There will be a wrap-up party tonight, and everyone won't leave until they are drunk!" Chen Mo shouted loudly.

"Yeah!" Everyone cheered.

In the evening, at the wrap-up party, Liu Kaiwei appeared again unexpectedly but not unexpectedly.

I have to say that he is indeed persistent. During this period, although he did not stay in the crew as long as he did in the beginning, he often came to visit the set. As the saying goes, a good woman is afraid of being pestered by a man, and his relationship with Yang Mi has eased a little.

Although there were not many people in the crew, the wrap-up party was still quite lively. Everyone went on stage to sing, and although there were ghostly howlings and all sorts of things, everyone was having a lot of fun.

Suddenly Liu Kaiwei walked onto the stage.

A melody that was familiar to many people sounded, especially Yang Mi, because it was a song she sang last year.

The Offering of Love!
As soon as this song came out, the crew members started to make a fuss. Singing such a song at this time, coupled with Liu Kaiwei's performance in recent times, even a fool would know what he was going to do.

Although the song was just that, one has to admit that Liu Kaiwei was really thick-skinned. While singing, he looked at Yang Mi with deep affection.

Everyone present looked at Yang Mi with an air of excitement.

Chen Mo couldn't help but look at Yang Mi with some curiosity. She seemed a little surprised as well, but it seemed that she was only shocked and not happy.

Liu Kaiwei didn't seem to notice this. He walked down while singing, stretched out his hand to Yang Mi, and invited her to join him.

Yang Mi showed a somewhat awkward smile on her face, but still gave Liu Kaiwei face and went on stage to sing.

As soon as she finished singing, without waiting for Liu Kaiwei to say anything, she hurriedly pulled Liu Kaiwei away.

This caused a commotion among the crew members on the scene.

Chen Mo shook his head. He just noticed Yang Mi's expression and almost forced a smile on his face.

Speaking of which, Liu Kaiwei's behavior this time was actually a bit presumptuous. After all, although they were all people from the crew, it was also in public.

It seemed that he had never considered whether Yang Mi liked such a scene or not.

However, this had little to do with him, but Chen Mo still called Yang Mi's assistant Xiao Xu over and asked her to go and take a look.

After drinking a few drinks with the crew, Yang Mi and Liu Kaiwei did not come back, so Chen Mo simply left early and returned to his hotel room.

I just didn't expect that as soon as I finished washing up, I heard the doorbell ring outside.

Chen Mo opened the door and saw that it was Yang Mi.

"Why did you come to me when you and Mr. Liu were alone together?" Chen Mo said jokingly.

"Do you have any wine in your room? Have a couple of drinks with me?" Yang Mi did not respond to Chen Mo's teasing, but asked instead.

Chen Mo looked at Yang Mi and saw that her face was not very good, so he said, "There should be. Come in."

Yang Mi walked in and sat down tiredly.

Chen Mo took a bottle of wine from the shelf in the hotel room, took a look at it and said, "This is all I have. It's not a good wine, but you don't mind it, do you?"

"As long as there's wine!" Yang Mi said.

Chen Mo opened the bottle of wine, took out a glass and poured a glass for each of them.

"You and Mr. Liu?" Chen Mo couldn't help but ask curiously.

Yang Mi picked up the wine glass and drank it all, then reached out and wiped the corner of her mouth vigorously.

"Do you remember the last time I was in the hospital?" she suddenly asked in a low voice.

Chen Mo took a sip of wine and nodded: "What?"

"Do you know why I work so hard? Last year I took on 11 dramas. I was either filming or on the way to film! Because I know that in this industry, if a woman like me wants to get ahead without relying on her body, she must seize the opportunity and fight! My father actually never liked me being an actress because everyone knows that this industry is really not friendly to girls, especially beautiful girls like me!"

"So I have to seize the opportunity and take on as many roles as I can while I'm still popular. This year I plan to set up my own studio and be my own boss. I don't want to do that kind of deal, so I can only work hard!" said Yang Mi.

Chen Mo didn't say anything. He knew that at this moment, she just needed a listener.

"Everyone says that I am a career-oriented woman and that I work too hard, but is that what I want? I don't want to be so tired, but I can't! In fact, when I was on the set of "Ruyi", I really liked him. At that time, he was gentle, considerate, and caring about me. He was attentive to me in every possible way." Yang Mi said this and suddenly laughed sarcastically.

"But you know what? After the incident of my hospitalization last time was clarified, everyone around me who knew me knew that it was just a hype for the promotion of a movie. No one would really believe the nonsense of the entertainment editor. But he actually believed it! Hahaha!" Yang Mi drank another whole glass of wine in one gulp.

"He really believed it. No matter what I said or how I explained, he just thought that it was not caused by my period that time. He actually chose to believe the reports in those gossip tabloids!" Yang Mi said again.

"And do you know what the funniest thing is? The funniest thing is that he told me that he didn't mind! He is so generous! He doesn't mind, hahaha!" Yang Mi laughed hysterically, and then choked herself.

Chen Mo was also a little dissatisfied in his heart. This person is really a strange person!

He actually believed something that didn't happen, and the key point is, he didn't even mind. What is this? True love? Or is it that if you want to live a decent life, you have to have some cheating on your head? This Mr. Liu is a strange man!

No wonder Yang Mi reacted so strangely.

"Guess what he said at that time?" Yang Mi suddenly asked again.

Chen Mo shook his head, guessing that something was wrong.

"He said, Mimi, you are so beautiful and sexy, showing off your body in front of him every day. Any man would have thoughts about it. I don't blame you."

"He is so generous, Director Chen, Director Chen, am I beautiful? Am I sexy?" Suddenly she stood up a little crazy, straightened her chest, looked at Chen Mo with a pair of fox eyes and asked.

Chen Mo rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "Sit down and behave normally, or leave now."

"Tsk, so boring!" Yang Mi sneered and sat down again.

"Actually, I've been in a relationship before, and we've even met each other's parents, but his mother doesn't want her future daughter-in-law to be in the entertainment industry. Do you think people in the entertainment industry can't keep themselves clean?" Yang Mi suddenly said again.

Chen Mo didn't want to answer this question because it was really difficult to answer.

Are there any? Of course there are, but not many.

Cough!

"After this incident, I've figured it out. Screw love, screw lovers, it's over for me! My love is dead again!" Yang Mi said as she raised her glass and shook it towards Chen Mo, then drank it all again.

Chen Mo rolled his eyes. What the hell, love is dead, you have to be the first one to do it?
"Actually, after hearing him say that, I knew he was just after my body!"

"Hey, my figure is better than Zhao Liying's, right? Are you really not interested in me?" Suddenly Yang Mi licked her lips and looked at Chen Mo coquettishly.

"Are you done? If you are, go back to sleep!" Chen Mo said unhappily.

As he spoke, Chen Mo stood up and walked towards the door. Yang Mi also stood up and followed him.

At this moment, voices were suddenly heard outside.

"Mr. Liu, Sister Mi really hasn't come back. I don't know where she went." It was the voice of Yang Mi's assistant Xiao Xu.

Chen Mo was in a difficult position to open the door at this moment. After all, if Yang Mi left her room, everything would become a big deal.

He turned around and glared at Yang Mi unhappily.

Yang Mi, for some unknown reason, suddenly put her arms around his neck and kissed him. Chen Mo was also a little confused by the sudden attack.

Subconsciously, he put his arm around her waist, and heard Liu Kaiwei's voice from outside again: "She really didn't come back? Then where would she go? Which room is Chen Mo in?"

"Mr. Liu, what do you mean?" Assistant Xiao Xu asked in a somewhat cold voice.

At the same time, in the room separated by a door, Chen Mo also felt a different kind of excitement.

Yang Mi's pretty face flushed slightly, and she looked at Chen Mo with charming eyes. Her rosy and shiny lips curled slightly, as if asking Chen Mo: "Is it exciting?"

How could Chen Mo bear such provocation? He took the initiative to find her red lips and kissed them heavily. Yang Mi responded passionately.

They didn't separate until both of them were almost out of breath, with a trace of crystal hanging on the corner of their mouths and their foreheads touching each other's.

His eyes were full of fire, his hands felt the perfect curve between the waist and hips, and the wonderful touch from the chest!

Suddenly, Yang Mi pushed Chen Mo against the door frantically.

"Bang!"

Chen Mo's back hit the door with a noise, which was heard by Liu Kaiwei and his assistant Xiao Xu outside.

Chen Mo didn't know what Liu Kaiwei and Xiao Xu outside were thinking. At this moment, he was overwhelmed by a strange and taboo feeling.

Seeing Yang Mi's hot and provocative eyes, Chen Mo could no longer bear it, and the two of them immediately began to tear each other's clothes.

No one spoke, their bodies' instincts guided them to do the same thing.

Outside, on the other side of the wall, Assistant Xiao Xu knew that this was Chen Mo's room, but she certainly wouldn't say it. Liu Kaiwei frowned and asked, "Whose room is this?"

Assistant Xiao Xu certainly knew that this was Chen Mo's room, but she certainly couldn't tell Liu Kaiwei!

Hearing the noise, she couldn't help but secretly surprised at Sister Mi's boldness, actually being able to do it through a door.
The next day, Chen Mo got up early, but he was the only one in the room. Last night was too exciting, so he couldn't help but be a little greedy and ended up staying up a little late.

Only the lingering fragrance beside me indicated that I was not alone in bed last night.

Of course, he also had to sigh that only the cows that were exhausted to death could plow the fields!

He had clearly won a great victory last night, but when he woke up the next morning, he still felt a little sore in the waist, and Yang Mi had already left.

Chen Mo didn't think much about what happened last night. In the entertainment industry, this kind of thing is very common, right?
Isn’t this the joy of being a director?
After the filming of "The Shallows" was completed, post-production was still needed.

In terms of schedule, there are actually no particularly good schedules in the near future.

But that is only relative. For example, the coming March and April are traditionally unpopular periods, but unpopular periods also have their advantages.

If "The Shallows" is released in this unpopular period, it will definitely receive preferential treatment in terms of screening schedule based on the box office miracle created by his previous film "Love is Not Blind".

The key point is that "The Shallows" is different from "Love is Not Blind". Although this film has a small investment, it is backed by not only Pony.com, but also Guangguang and Bona.

With all these resources added together, and given that the schedule does not have any particularly strong competitors, the film can actually get a higher screening schedule.

Therefore, the release date of "The Shallows" was quickly determined and it was released on March 3th.

The promotional aspect is divided into two aspects. On the one hand, it is naturally to promote Yang Mi's various sexy appearances in "The Shallows". On the other hand, it is to promote "The Shallows" for filling the gap in domestic genre films. What genre is it? Monster disaster movies!
Well, sharks can be monsters too.

Various gimmicks:

"Beauty and the Beast face off in a life-or-death battle!"

"Yang Mi's most revealing performance since her debut on the stage. Sexy is worthless in front of sharks!"

"She's so sexy that even a shark can be conquered by Yang Mi!"

"A milestone in Chinese horror films, 'The Shallows' features beautiful women battling sharks, a thrilling and erotic drama!"

"Men and women are equal in front of a shark! Even beautiful women don't have any privileges!"

Anyway, the publicity and promotion department has been releasing all sorts of messy, eye-catching slogans. You call them fake? They're selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat?

No, pictures speak louder than words!
The key point is that the one showing off her sexiness this time is not some internet celebrity face or some artificial beauty, but the famous and popular young actress Yang Mi.

Of course, the main promotional focus of "The Shallows" itself is still on the thrilling and exciting part about the beautiful girl escaping from the shark's mouth!
But Chen Mo underestimated human nature. When it came to promotion in major cinema chains, the story completely changed.

In the early morning of March 3, all major cinemas arranged midnight screenings for "The Shallows".

The promotional posters are almost all the same, giving a bit of the visual feeling of domestic horror films that are selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat, but the effect is unexpectedly good.

In fact, there were also some domestic horror films released during the same period, all of which were set in various bathrooms, beaches, swimming pools, etc. Anyway, the promotional posters were refreshing. But in comparison, the poster of "The Shallows" is obviously more advanced. After all, the protagonist is completely different.

Just now, Wang Tao had just finished watching a movie with his girlfriend and walked out of the screening room when he saw the staff of Xingmei Cinema changing the movie roll-up banners.

On the roll-up banner, Yang Mi was like a lotus emerging from the water, performing a wet temptation, with water drops sliding down her neck. The key point was that she was only wearing a bikini, and suddenly he could hardly move his feet.

He actually likes watching domestic horror movies usually. Although they are all fake, he doesn't watch them for the plot!
"Hiss!" Suddenly he felt a pain in his waist. It was his girlfriend's finger that hit him hard when he was fascinated by the roll-up poster of Yang Mi's seductive wet body in "The Shallows".

"Yang Mi's new film caused quite a stir some time ago." Wang Tao said seriously.

"Tsk, what's so good about her? Her figure is not even as good as mine!" said the girlfriend angrily.

Wang Tao secretly complained in his heart, damn, her figure is not as good as yours, where does her confidence come from?
However, no matter how good Da Mimi's figure is, it belongs to someone else. Tsk tsk, that Chen Mo is really too enviable and jealous. If it were me, I would probably not be able to control myself and faint, right?
"Of course! This movie is just a gimmick. It's probably another Far Cry trope. Boring!" Wang Tao still had a strong desire to survive, but he was secretly thinking, I must come and see it when it's released. Well, it's not to see Yang Mi's wet temptation, it's purely out of curiosity. What kind of Yang Mi can make that director named Chen Mo faint? It's exaggerated, too exaggerated! He was completely criticizing himself!
"You are sensible. Let's go!" The girlfriend was very satisfied with Wang Tao's answer.

Compared to people like Wang Tao who have girlfriends, those single LSPs don’t need to be like him, unable to express their love.

In many cinemas, some male audiences could not help but stop to admire Yang Mi's sexy promotional posters that made their blood boil. Almost every one of them on the screen was enough to make their blood boil.

"Tsk tsk, so clever! You know, the entertainment industry is so chaotic these days, yet all the female stars are still acting so dignified and cool. Who are they trying to fool? Da Mimi is really sincere! Just for this reason, I'm definitely going to see this movie!"

"Honestly, compared to the slutty bitches in those Chinese thrillers, Da Mimi's is truly a complete dimensionality reduction strike!"

"Who says it's not? Look at that one over there, and then look at that one over here. It's definitely the difference between a slut and a high-end club!"

"Brother, your metaphor is quite interesting. I didn't expect you to be a fellow traveler."

"Hey, sure, sure. We can exchange experiences when we have time!"

Chen Mo's original intention was to play up some high-level sexiness, but he couldn't resist the fact that these days cinemas understand LSP too well. When it comes to making movies, they are definitely not as good as directors like Chen Mo, but when it comes to who understands the audience better, they say that they have the most contact with the audience.

No matter how sexy you are, they don’t understand. They are just ordinary people. Their way of doing things is the most effective!
The same is true.

The promotion of "The Shallows" kicked off with great fanfare, and the ticket booking channel for the midnight show on March 3th began two days in advance.

The result was a lot of jaws dropped!
In just one day, all the tickets for the originally scheduled midnight premiere screenings were sold out.

This result left both Chen Mo and the investment company behind him completely confused.

I never expected, absolutely never expected, that the result would be like this.

In fact, judging from the sales of pre-booked tickets, it is even better than "Love Is Not Blind".

The major cinema chains were naturally on edge. This was a rare period, and it was a midnight show. Normally, a screening room would only get a few people in it, but this one was completely packed. What else can we say? They must be stepping up their efforts!
