This director is vindictive.

Chapter 98: Hundred Flowers Awards: Enemies on a Narrow Road, Emblem's Resentment
"When did you become so close to Fan Binbin? Did you know each other before?" In the evening, when Chen Mo was taking the rich young woman to the film and television city, he couldn't help asking.

"No! I know her, but we have never worked together. I just met her today." Jing Tian said as he walked.

"Then what's wrong with you? Did you add anything to that bag of snacks?" Chen Mo couldn't help but ask.

"Additional ingredients? No, it's shrimp crackers with chicken flavor. I quite like the taste." Jing Tian didn't understand why Chen Mo felt this way.

"Then why do you hate Yang Mi so much, but seem to like her quite a lot?" Chen Mo was puzzled.

"Chen Mo, I read the story script you wrote for "My Love from the Star". Didn't you notice that the heroine in it is actually more like Jinsuo? She also debuted very early and then stopped studying. In fact, I used to be her fan." Jing Tian suddenly spoke seriously, but successfully avoided the topic of why he didn't like Yang Mi.

Chen Mo was a little surprised: "Are you her fan?"

"Yes, she is actually really amazing. You see, she didn't go to school much, but she is so popular now. She also had so much negative news in the past, but she still managed to come through it. She is really amazing." Jing Tian said seriously, with admiration flashing in his eyes.

So that's how it is. This does make sense. However, I didn't expect that the little rich woman would be a fan of Fan Binbin!

However, if you think about it carefully, it is indeed not easy for Fan Binbin. Why did she choose the black and red route?
If possible, who would be willing to take this path?
There are so many photos, so much negative information about her, such as how she got promoted by accompanying people to drink, how she was touched in various ways on the show, and how she sat on Zhang Da Hu's lap while drinking with him. These are indeed her negative information, but these negative information just prove one thing, that she has suffered a lot along the way!

Of course, you choose your own path, there is nothing much to say. But from this point of view, some people in later generations used her as an example, saying that university is not the only way out. Look at Fan Binbin, who made her debut before graduating from high school and became the most profitable female star today.

But this is all bullshit. How many Fan Binbins are there in the entertainment industry?
Thinking about the future where she might make a mistake, be banned, and all her years of hard work would go to waste, Chen Mo couldn't help but shake his head.

In fact, it was indeed a problem that she took the wrong path, but to put it bluntly, it was her lack of background that led her to completely fade out of the entertainment industry.

But compared to Mou Shuang and Mou Zhao, she is actually quite good.

But when he thought of this, Chen Mo felt that he should give the people around him a heads-up. His own company has always attached great importance to taxation.

Yang Mi and Zhao Liying are expected to set up their own studios next, so it seems that we really need to give them a heads-up first.

As for Fan Binbin, Chen Mo would also say something, of course, just to give a reminder. Although this problem has not yet broken out at this stage, no one is paying much attention to it, but if it breaks out in the future, it will definitely be a big problem.

Jing Tian stayed in the crew for several days, but she really came for Fan Binbin. During these days, in her spare time, she would talk to Fan Binbin about many things.

Then, something happened that made Chen Mo laugh and cry.

Because Yang Mi also came to visit the set.

But when she saw Jing Tian again, her face became a little ugly.

After all, the incident with the "Foot Washer" perfume is still fresh in our memory.

"Tsk tsk, you really know how to play. Aren't you afraid that they will fight?" Yang Mi said sarcastically.

"Haha! Shouldn't someone reflect on himself? Look over there." Chen Mo nodded towards Fan Binbin, Zhao Liying, and Jing Tian.

Yang Mi was suddenly shocked.

Because the three of them were actually talking and laughing there, the atmosphere looked very harmonious.

This really hurt Yang Mi. She always thought she was a good interpersonal person and could become friends with many people, but this scene really made her puzzled.

Not only Jing Tian seemed to have a lot of opinions about her, but Zhao Liying also had a lot of opinions about her.

But this is not scientific at all. Why?

Why can they chat so happily when it comes to Fan Binbin?
In fact, the answer is quite simple. Zhao Liying also started her career in the entertainment industry as a supporting actress. After many years of playing supporting roles, she finally came to prominence after meeting Chen Mo.

Although Fan Binbin's starting point was much higher than hers, the two of them actually felt a sense of sympathy to some extent.

Fan Binbin actually had a much harder time than her. At least she met Chen Mo, a mentor, who helped her succeed. But what about Fan Binbin?

Although she was prettier, she was also coveted by more people. What Chen Mo didn't know was that the three of them had dinner and drinks together last night, and at the table, they talked about each other's past and burst into tears.

Instead, we became good friends right away. I can only say that women's friendship is really hard to evaluate.

But Yang Mi is still a little different. At least she is a graduate of a professional school, Beijing Film Academy, and she is doing much better than many of her classmates.

In fact, the entire crew, Fan Binbin, Zhao Liying and He Saifei have a very good relationship.

On the contrary, Gao Yuanyuan didn't know why, but she felt a little excluded.

However, this also has a lot to do with Gao Yuanyuan's usual way of dealing with people.

The extras who participated in the filming nicknamed Gao Yuanyuan "Agent Gao" because she was very afraid of the extras and would run away if anyone came close. She always wore a pair of oversized sunglasses that covered two-thirds of her face and never took them off for photos.

On the contrary, both Fan Binbin and Zhao Liying were very friendly towards other extras. Although they also maintained a distance, they were not as exaggerated as Gao Yuanyuan.

Especially Zhao Liying, perhaps because she herself came from an extra role, so she quite disliked Gao Yuanyuan and always felt that she was a little too arrogant.

The main comparison is with Fan Binbin. Fan Binbin's fame can be said to be at its peak at this time, but he does not have that kind of "arrogant" feeling when dealing with people.

Of course, Chen Mo doesn't care about such things. There are so many people in a crew, and everyone has their own ideas and freedom, so he naturally won't interfere.

These are some condiments after shooting.

It also adds some fun to the filming process.

The filming of "Search" went relatively smoothly, and there were also many speculations about who the male lead of "Search" would be.

The main reason is that Chen Mo himself is the director, so even though there are paparazzi and entertainment reporters outside watching and trying to find out who the male lead is, and the crew has been ordered to keep quiet, of course Chen Mo did not treat them badly. He gave each person a red envelope as hush money.

So, even though the entertainment reporters have been following for so long, they still don’t know who the male lead is.

Occasionally, some male stars who have worked with her would come to visit the set, but in reality, they were all smokescreens.

For this reason, many people are curious about who the male protagonist of "Search" is.

Even many movie fans were guessing who it was and gave many candidates, but in the end they were all proved wrong.

As time goes by, "Search" is about to be completed.

On the same day, August 8, the organizing committee of the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards announced to the whole society the nomination list for each award of the 21st Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards.

Chen Mo's "Love Is Not Blind" received six nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Screenplay.

The awards ceremony will be held at the closing ceremony of the film festival on the evening of the 29th of next month.

For Chen Mo, this is also the first time he has been nominated for an award. Of course, whether he can win the award and how many awards he can win is still unknown.

However, the entire crew sent congratulations and blessings to Chen Mo.

"That's amazing! It's your first theatrical movie, and it's received so many nominations!" Gao Yuanyuan congratulated with a smile.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Then you are even more amazing. You have won several international film awards."

"It was just a nomination. I didn't win the award." Gao Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment and then smiled bitterly.

Chen Mo suddenly scratched his head. He seemed to remember that she seemed to have been nominated, but she did not win the award.

"Director Chen, congratulations! Six nominations, wow." Fan Binbin also came over and said.

"You've already won the award, this is just my first time being nominated." Chen Mo shook his head.

"That was a long time ago." Fan Binbin sighed.

She won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress for her role in Feng Dagang's "Cell Phone," but it's a shame to look back on that time. Being nominated is a good thing, and based on past experience, a film with so many nominations is sure to win.

Moreover, this year's Hundred Flowers Awards is also extraordinary, as it marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Hundred Flowers Awards.

However, Chen Mo did not have high expectations, because he remembered that Feng Dagang and his "Aftershock" seemed to be the biggest winners of this year's Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films.

Of course, for him, winning the award is enough. After all, how many movies has he made?

Moreover, Chen Mo is actually not that obsessed with the pursuit of awards. In China, as long as the movie sells well at the box office and accumulates some qualifications, there will be no shortage of awards. Of course, the premise is that he does not go astray.

During the filming of "Search", because Xiao Zhao was watching closely, Chen Mo actually did not have any chance to compete with Fan Binbin again.

Chen Mo didn't feel it was a pity. After all, the relationship between the two was just a transaction.

But I didn't expect that after the film was completed, Fan Binbin actually took the initiative to find me and rekindle their previous relationship. If the last time was purely a matter of mutual benefit, then this time, it seemed a little different. After all, there was no transaction at this time.

Chen Mo also took the opportunity to remind her to pay taxes truthfully and on time.

"Tax issue? Why are you mentioning this suddenly? Isn't this how the entertainment industry operates?" When Fan Binbin heard Chen Mo mention paying attention to the issue of tax, she couldn't help but prop up her chin, and her pair of charming almond eyes looked at Chen Mo with a hint of disapproval and confusion.

Chen Mo said calmly, "Have you forgotten what happened to Liu Xiaoqing back then?"

"Is it really that serious? But if that's the case, then not only the entire entertainment industry, but at least most of it will suffer. That can't be the case, right?" Fan Binbin pursed his lips, somewhat unconvinced.

"Haha, do you think the law does not hold everyone responsible?" Chen Mo immediately guessed what Fan Binbin was thinking.

"Isn't it?" Fan Binbin asked back.

"It's impossible to treat everyone the same, but the one that sticks out gets hammered down. You're now famous as the most profitable female star! And you're even on the Forbes celebrity list. As the saying goes, a tree stands out among the trees. Think about it yourself. Others may say that they can't blame the majority and at most just make up for it, but there has to be someone to set an example, right? Don't you think that the famous international star is the best candidate?" Chen Mo said sarcastically.

To be honest, this woman looks very smart, but Chen Mo thinks she is really stupid sometimes.

For example, in this matter, others can say that they are just small characters, but she is definitely the one who sticks out!

"Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if it happened?" Chen Mo asked again.

Fan Binbin's face turned pale immediately. She was not really stupid, she just thought that everyone did it this way. Of course, it was true that she was reluctant to spend such a large sum of money. But she thought that if what Chen Mo said really came true, all her years of hard work would be wasted.

"Actually, I really don't understand you people. It's easy for celebrities in the entertainment industry to make money, and their income is much higher than that of ordinary people. With such high remuneration, they naturally have to bear corresponding responsibilities. That's all I have to say. Of course, you can also regard me as alarmist. Maybe it won't happen?" Chen Mo said lightly.

"Why are you suddenly telling me this?" Fan Binbin looked at Chen Mo with a complicated expression.

"After all, we have a friendship of learning from each other and a fleeting romance, but at least we have some affection for each other. I don't want you to regret it one day because everything is gone." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Thank you!" Fan Binbin said seriously.

"Your thanks are not sincere!" Chen Mo suddenly said with a wicked smile.

Fan Binbin clearly understood what Chen Mo meant. The next moment, he gave him a coquettish look and then shrank back.
Chen Mo didn't know whether Fan Binbin had listened to him or not. He had done his best by reminding her. If she still refused to change her ways, Chen Mo could do nothing to help her.

After all, she is not Xiao Zhao or a wealthy woman.

Time passed quickly in the busyness. Chen Mo was not actually too busy. He would occasionally have some fun with his girlfriends after work. He lived a very carefree life.

In the blink of an eye, this year's Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony is about to arrive.

Chen Mo received the invitation letter from the organizing committee very early. Compared with the Hundred Flowers Awards, the Golden Rooster Awards are actually more important, but the two awards are presented at different times.

This year is an even-numbered year, and it is the year for the Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films.

It has to be said that some enemies often meet on a narrow road. When walking on the red carpet, the crew of "Love is Not Blind" walked in front, and behind them was the crew of the nominated film "Ocean Heaven".

The reason why enemies often meet on a narrow road is because the coat of arms is also among them.

In particular, Chen Mo was the last person from the "Love Is Not Blind" crew to walk on the red carpet, followed by the Herald Couple.

This scene made many media reporters present at the scene excited, and they kept pressing the shutter button.

This is actually closely related to the recent promotion of "Search". Several companies such as Light Media and Xiaoma Pentium are fanning the flames behind the scenes, bringing up the feud between the Stab Cult and Chen Mo two years ago, and the Herald Couple is also a key figure among them.

Wen Zhang looked at Chen Mo's back not far ahead, and the smile on his face seemed a little forced.

If you say that this was a deliberate arrangement by the organizing committee, that's probably not the case, but it just happened to happen.

He could imagine that he would be the focus of criticism again in tomorrow's news.

"Pay attention to the occasion!" Ma Yili, who was standing by, noticed something was wrong with the emblem and reminded him immediately.

At this moment, Wen Zhang wanted to tear Chen Mo apart. "Love Is Not Blind" created a box office myth and was also a favorite to win the grand prize at this year's Hundred Flowers Awards.

The Best Actor award should have been his!
Because Teng Huatao had actually mentioned this novel to him earlier, but he didn't expect that Chen Mo would snatch it away first.

Although "Ocean Paradise" was also good and allowed him to meet Li Lianjie, a big backer, he felt so heartbroken and breathless when he thought of Wang Kai who appeared before "Love is Not Blind".

But unlike others, he never thought that there was anything wrong with what happened back then.

Besides, he has already gritted his teeth and paid such a huge sum of money, what else does he want?
"Have you told your godfather?" Ma Yili was obviously much more sober than him. After entering the venue, she asked in a low voice.

"I said it! But is it really necessary?" The emblem frowned.

"It's true that we said the wrong thing back then, and he's completely different now. This time, the movie 'Search' has brought up that incident again. I don't believe you haven't felt the impact?" Ma Yili sighed.

"So what? I just didn't expect this jerk to climb so fast!" Herald still looked indifferent.

"You better be careful. If you have anything to say, talk about it when you get back. Godfather will mediate for you later. Just be nicer." Ma Yili said with a headache.

"Don't worry, how could he not give face to his godfather?" said the emblem disdainfully.

Ma Yili sighed and opened her mouth but said nothing more.

In fact, although the impact on her was not as great as the emblem, she was indeed affected to some extent.

When it comes to the Stab Cult, the names of those people are listed one by one. She followed her husband's lead at first, but she never expected this would be the result.

Of course, it’s not that I’m really afraid of Chen Mo or anything, it’s just that he’s brought up and rehashed every now and then, and it’s so disgusting.

The key point is that after being labeled, their popularity with the public can be said to be very bad. Many people's first reaction is, oh, this is also a member of the cult of stabbing people in the back!

Chen Mo naturally didn't know what Wen Zhang and the others were thinking.

He was chatting with the crew of "Love Is Not Blind".

"How about it? I said that playing this role will not disappoint you, right?" Chen Mo said to Wang Kai with a smile.

"Thank you, Director Chen. I'm very grateful. Please take care of me if I need anything in the future!" Wang Kai said excitedly.

It can be said that playing the role of Wang Xiaojian definitely brought about a qualitative change in his acting career.

Although he is also a sissy, this sissy did not cause him to worry. Now he has many film offers, and they are no longer sissy roles, but all kinds of roles.

He has also walked out of the shadow brought by Chen Jiaming's role.

Naturally, I am very grateful to Chen Mo.
