Chapter 128
Chen Mo said that he was not familiar with Ji Ze, and he was originally telling the truth, but in the ears of media reporters, he could interpret a lot of meanings.
Taking quotes out of context and diverging thinking, the reporters who came to interview were eager to break down what Chen Mo said into words to interpret, plus the part that gossip media is best at looking at pictures and speaking...... If it weren't for the identity of Chen Momu's fiancΓ© that people had to be cautious, I'm afraid that even the story of the four-cornered love of Chen, Ji, Qin, and Yao would have been made up.
For a while, there was everything on the Internet. Chen Mo, who didn't know what was going on, seemed to know the inside story better than anyone else, which was speechless.
But that's all for another time.
Finally broke through the encirclement of reporters, Chen Mo strode into the Huajing Grand Theater.
The summer is scorching, there is no wind outside, but the hall of the Huajing Grand Theater is cool and breezy, the constant temperature refrigeration of the central air conditioning makes people feel refreshed, and the cool breeze is mixed with the fragrance of gardenias.
It is said to be the latest seasonal floral collection from a certain perfume brand.
Zhao Sen, Liang Zheng and others, who were chatting in the hall, saw Chen Mo and quipped: "The God of Wealth is here, everyone come and pay respects." β
Before the words fell, Producer Wang and the investor really walked up to Chen Mo, bowed solemnly, and said: "The box office is a big hit, the box office is a big hit." β
Chen Mo sweated profusely, and hurriedly flashed and smiled: "This is not a New Year's Day, why do you have such a big gift?" β
The chubby investor waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's wrong, those of us who do business, what we're most afraid of is the New Year's holiday." β
Although the bureaucratic system of the former Ming Dynasty has been abolished for hundreds of years, some ills in the officialdom cannot be eliminated. For example, the three festivals and two longevity ice charcoal filial piety in the past, and for example, today's various dot sponsorship fees, although the names are different, but the essence is the same.
Chen Mo smiled slightly, and changed his words: "Director Liang's works, the box office must not be worried." I just don't know if Brother Zhao can win the actor again with the role of Leo. β
Zhao Sen, who praised it in one sentence, smiled heartily, he thought the same thing in his heart, but it was not good to say so. Now that he heard Chen Mo's words, he just smiled and said, "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words." β
Irene, who played the second female lead, walked over with a swaying posture. She is wearing a golden mermaid dress today, with a green silk tied behind her head, revealing a full forehead and an elegant and slender neck, with a firm chest, a slender waist and hips, and from a distance, she looks like a mermaid princess in a fairy tale, beautiful and incomprehensible.
Irene took Yue Senjiang's arm and walked in front of everyone, and when she saw Chen Mo, she called "God of Wealth", and said with a smile: "There are really many people in the circle who invest in stocks and speculate. For example, I also entered the stock market last year, but I lost more than 300 million, and I don't dare to invest in it anymore. Where is Xiaomo so powerful, not only can he act well, but he can even make so much money by trading stocks. It's really envious, jealous and hateful. β
After a pause, Irene smiled again: "...... I also heard reports that Xiaomo, you have been trading stocks in the past few years, and you have sold nearly 10,000 stocks, and you have never looked bad. Since you have such a unique vision, can you introduce me to two? Even if you have a pocket money, it's good. β
One sentence resonated with everyone, and even Zhao Sen, who is notoriously conservative in financial management and has never touched products such as stock funds, couldn't help but look at it.
Chen Mo smiled slightly, and said casually: "This kind of thing is stock speculation, it depends on vision and luck, no one can say whether it will make money in the end, this time I may not make it next time, I recommend stocks to everyone, if you make it, it's okay, in case of loss, how can I be embarrassed?" β
The crowd who said a few words was a little sneering, and Irene hurriedly said: "You can't say that, even if you invest money in a wealth management company, you may not necessarily make money." Of course, this kind of thing is self-financing, and we can listen to it casually when you say it. If we make a profit, of course we will treat us to dinner, and if we lose, we will consider ourselves unlucky. Anyway, it's not like I haven't lost money before. β
Before she finished speaking, Ruan Mei, who came out of the bathroom to make up her makeup, asked with a smile: "Why are you so happy, everyone has come together?" β
The atmosphere in the hall froze, and director Liang Zheng immediately smiled: "Just talk casually." β
After a pause, without waiting for Ruan Mei and Irene to talk, Liang Zheng clapped his hands again and said, "The premiere is about to start, everyone go in." β
As soon as the words fell, Yue Senjiang immediately grabbed Irene by the arm and took a step forward. watched Chen Mo Waterfall Khan, since everyone saw Irene and Ruan Mei's full martial arts on the set of country F, they have maintained the highest vigilance against these two beauties. I'm afraid that the two will make trouble again regardless of the occasion, and then "Peak Showdown" will be even more popular.
However, this kind of scandalous hype is obviously not Liang Zheng's style. What's more, Chen Mo's dominance in the stock market is enough to make publicity and buy points, and with such a pearl in front, the producer and distributor don't need to add any more snakes.
The group walked into the No. 1 screening hall that had been set up long ago. On the stage hung a super poster the size of the i-max screen. Chen Mo, who was dressed in a black leather coat and showed a cool and handsome demeanor, and Zhao Sen, who was in a suit and leather shoes, stood back to back, both holding guns in their hands. Irene in a burgundy evening dress and Ruan Mei in a gray vest leggings stood on either side of Chen Mo and Zhao Sen respectively, followed by Yue Senjiang and several other characters who played the role of an international arms dealer, and the background was in the golden banquet hall of the ancient castle of country F. The style of the whole poster is red, black and gold, with a luxurious vision of gunfire and banquets.
On the big screens on both sides, special effects from "Rush Showdown" were played. The stunning sound and visual effects filled the screening room, making people excited to watch the film and want to get into the main topic and watch the film right away.
Chen Mo followed behind the staff and walked to his place. Next to him sat Zhao Sen, another actor of the movie. The two sat down and smiled at each other, and without saying a few words, the movie began.
A brisk and lively rhythmic waltz sounded, the cold climate of the country F winter, the withered grass decayed, the birds were extinct, but the palatial castle was full of clothes and sideburns, warm as spring. Luke, the owner of the castle, stood on the stairs of the hall, holding a goblet and condescendingly, watching the smiling gentlemen and ladies in the hall dancing in pairs, a burgundy figure snuggling up to him. Flaming red lips, all kinds of amorous and glamorous.
Then the camera turned, in the bathroom of a hotel, a man's chin appeared in front of the mirror, slender hands lightly foamed water, shaved off, hair, and then put on a black haute couture suit and black bow tie. Open the door and go downstairs. The shiny custom leather shoes stepped on the red wool carpet, and the camera advanced all the way along the straight trouser legs and custom leather shoes, walked into the elevator, walked out of the hotel, and slowly left in a black elongated car.
The screen switches again, and a pair of slender and beautiful hands are fiddling with darts, β‘β‘, wires, small pulleys, ultra-small flashlights and other tools in front of the camera, and then stuffing these tools into a black backpack and carrying an equally black painting tube on their backs. Sky, a thief in a black leather jacket and military pants and Martin boots, turned his back to the camera, and strode out of the frame in high spirits.
A black stretch sedan is parked in front of the castle. The waiter in a black suit stepped forward to open the door, combed all his hair back to the back of his head, revealing a broad and full forehead and deep facial features, Zhao Sen stood still on the red carpet. His hands subconsciously unbuttoned his clothes, nodded politely at the waiter, and walked into the castle.
Jeweled, fragrant clothes and sideburns, Zhao Sen took a glass of red wine from the tray of the passing waiter and held it in his hand, and shuttled through the crowd in the castle hall with ease.
On the other hand, Chen Mo, who played the role of an international thief, also appeared outside the castle wall. Carefully avoiding the patrolling bodyguards and the occasional spotlights, he took the β‘β‘ out of his backpack and pointed it at the wall above, lightly hooking his fingers.
The steel wire with a triangular hook was firmly fixed on the city wall, Chen Mo climbed the city wall briskly and neatly, turned down, climbed the wall all the way through the willows, and finally cut the window sash on the top floor of the castle and rolled into the corridor. He easily found the room where the owner of the castle used to store the treasures. His purpose was to steal a painting.
Zhao Sen, who was dressed in a suit, avoided the crowd in the hall and quietly went all the way to the top floor, his purpose was to collect evidence of the crime of the castle's owner, the international arms criminal Luke.
As a result, he ran into an international thief who had succeeded in stealing the painting in the corridor.
Both of them were stunned for a moment, and immediately recognized each other. Adhering to the concept of striking first, the two of them started at the same time and fought in the narrow corridor.
The international thieves fought and retreated, taking the opportunity to open the window and escape. Zhao Sen followed closely behind, also grabbed the rope and went down, and both of them hung on the wall outside the castle.
In the castle hall, there are bright lights and brilliant golden, brightly dressed gentlemen and ladies dancing under the mellow and brisk waltz, and on the wall outside the castle, the international thief played by Chen Mo and the Interpol played by Zhao Sen are also-for-tat, fists and feet, back and forth. Under the deliberate magnification of the camera, the movements of the two are strong and graceful, soothing and elegant, with the waltz music played in the hall, as if they are dancing a waltz on the wall, and the visual effect has a kind of amazing romance.
In the end, the international thief played by Chen Mo deliberately exposed his flaws, Zhao Sen stepped forward to catch Chen Mo, but was kicked away by Chen Mo, Zhao Sen's back was equipped with a window, and the sound of broken glass attracted the bodyguards, who found that someone had invaded the manor, and the bodyguards immediately reported to Luke, the owner of the castle.
followed by a thrilling chase scene, and finally Chen Mo and Zhao Sen teamed up to escape from the castle. The news that Luke's latest weapon was hidden in the painting stolen by Chen Mo spread, and the two were surrounded and hunted down by people from all walks of life. Eventually, the wolf bèi fled back to Sky's den.
Zhao Sen was shot in the shoulder in order to cover Chen Mo while on the run. After Chen Mo returned to his nest, the first thing he did was to help Zhao Sen take out the bullets.
At night, the two sat on the roof of their house, with the starry sky twinkling above them almost within reach. The two people, who were originally wary of each other, developed a sympathetic friendship because of this escape, and the two chatted while drinking cold canned beer. Zhao Sen mentioned his relationship with the arms dealer Luke-
One is a policeman, the other is a criminal, one is ordered to search for evidence of Luke's crimes, and the other is desperately defending himself and eradicating the enemy. Even in order to eliminate Zhao Sen's threat, he did not hesitate to send people to arrest Zhao Sen's wife and children, in order to threaten Zhao Sen to abandon the light and go to the dark.
ββ¦β¦ I'm a police officer, how can I be in the same league as an arms dealer. But I'm also a husband and a father, and I can't put my wife and son in danger because of me. So I proposed to my boss that I would take advantage of Luke's enquiry to break into the castle and search for evidence of Luke's crime to bring him to justice. As a result, Luke saw through my plan and killed Lillian and my son. I've somehow become a ...... of being wanted, wanted, and criminal."
Chen Mo looked at Zhao Sen with a sympathetic expression, Zhao Sen's expression was lonely and desolate at night, as if he was a lost wild dog. He said to Zhao Sen: "You have been betrayed. β
"Yes, I was betrayed by my best friend, my most trusted boss." Zhao Sen smiled bitterly: "But the most ironic thing is that I don't know why he did this at all." β
"And what do you want to do now?"
Zhao Sen was silent for a long time, and said in a firm tone: "Revenge!" β
For his wife, for his son, and for himself.
"I'll help you." On the big screen, Chen Mo looked at Zhao Sen with soft eyes and said categorically.
The two begin to prepare a plan for revenge. As a result, he was chased by Interpol. The leader of the team is Joanna, Lillian's own sister, who has always been haunted by the death of her sister and nephew. Can't forgive Zhao Sen.
After several people meet, there is naturally another fight, with plates, furniture, pillows, quilts, fragments and feathers flying in the sky in the sound of gunfire, and the camera fully embodies director Liang Zheng's favorite aesthetics of violence.
After the fight, the crowd sat down and talked. Joanna told Zhao Sen what she knew, and Zhao Sen also told her what she had experienced, but everyone still couldn't know why Zhao Sen's top boss and their good friends who had known since the training base betrayed them. It's like a puzzle piece missing a piece. The truth is still hidden beneath the surface.
At this time, the employer who asked Chen Mo to go to Luke's Manor to steal paintings also contacted Chen Mo and asked Chen Mo to complete the transaction. During the conversation, Chen Mo accidentally learned a piece of news. He told the news to Zhao Sen and Joanna, and finally made the other party understand why their good friend and immediate boss would betray them.
Because he was originally Luke's man!
After learning the truth of the matter, Zhao Sen and Joanna decided to avenge Lilian's mother and son, and Chen Mo decided to help out in friendship.
At this time, the arms dealer Luke also decided to hold another banquet in his castle, and he invited all the forces to prepare for a public auction of new weapons.
The trio of Chen Mo, dressed in disguise, also sneaked into the castle. They are ready to find evidence of Luke's crime and bring him to justice, as well as prove Zhao Sen's innocence. However, Luke's mistress discovered his whereabouts.
In another gunfire fight, Joanna is caught and tortured by Luke's mistress, and Zhao Sen is threatened with Joanna's life. Zhao Sen was forced to have no choice but to come forward, but Chen Mo stayed in the study and hacked into the FBI's network, transmitted Luke's criminal evidence to the FBI, and sent a distress signal in Joanna's name.
FBI reinforcements soon broke into the castle and brought Luke and his men to justice. In the chaos, Luke's mistress took advantage of the chaos to run away, and when Chen Mo ran to Zhao Sen to ask for credit, he found that Interpol not only wanted to arrest Luke, but also wanted to arrest him. Because Chen Mo exposed his identity when he hacked into the FBI network.
It's another dazzling and visually impactful fight scene.
As Chen Mo handed over the evidence of Luke's crime to the FBI, Zhao Sen's innocence was also proved. He resumed his duties. Naturally, he became the leader of this rescue team.
Zhao Sen deliberately exposed flaws in the process of capturing Chen Mo, and had a conversation with Chen Mo that only the two of them could understand, and Chen Mo, who got the hint, jumped off the city wall during the fight. When Interpol pounced on the wall and looked down, he found that there was no trace of Chen Mo below, only a patch of snow.
Under the camera, Zhao Sen, who had been maintaining a solemn demeanor, slowly smiled. And Joanna, who was covered in bruises, also slowly walked to Zhao Sen's side, and the camera slowly rose, retreated, and lengthened, bringing the entire castle into the painting.
Finally, the brisk and mellow ending song sounded again, and in the crowded museum, Chen Mo, dressed as a student and wearing black-rimmed glasses, mingled among the student tourists, listening to the docent explain the history of a crown.
This is his next goal.
Outside the museum, Zhao Sen, dressed in a suit, and Joanna, dressed in a professional suit, walked into the hall side by side.
As soon as the screen goes black, the film ends.
The lights in the screening room came on again, and the audience burst into applause, and the director and other creative staff walked up to the stage and bowed to the audience to express their gratitude.
For an action movie with the box office as its main goal, to be able to see the reaction of the audience at the scene, the premiere of "Rush Showdown" can be regarded as a successful end. The invited media reporters once again asked the film's main creators questions about box office predictions.
Several other old fritters are used to this kind of scene, and their answers are relatively decent, as if they were out of a press release. Only Chen Mo is the first time to shoot a commercial film as the main creator, and the feeling of this is relatively fresh. In addition, Chen Mo was being sought after by the media for a while because of the news that Xinrong Real Estate had made more than 10 billion yuan from the listing, so everyone asked Chen Mo questions one after another, asking him to predict the box office of "Peak Showdown".
ββ¦β¦ You see that the stock is so accurate, let's guess the final box office of "Rush Showdown", right? β
When Chen Mo heard this, he smiled and said, "How can I guess this?" I'm not professional with this. β
"Let's talk about the numbers, too. Let's make a note of it first, and then compare it when the movie comes out. "Journalists are in hot pursuit.
The stock market genius predicts the final box office, whether it is accurate or not, it is a good publicity gimmick!
Chen Mo smiled, thought about the final box office of a few commercial films that director Liang Zheng had made before, and said: "I think the final box office of "Peak Showdown" will definitely exceed 700 million, right?" β
"More than 700 million?" The reporter below repeated it and smiled dissatisfiedly: "Chen Mo, you are so insincere." Director Liang has made every film in recent years with a box office of more than 700 million, right? β
"So I think it's going to be more than 700 million." Chen Mo smiled.
As a result, on the morning of the third day, all the newspapers reported a news, and everyone's headline was "The box office of "Peak Showdown" is fresh on the first day, and the stock market genius Chen Mo predicts a box office failure!" β
And the box office of "Peak Showdown", which made the stock market invincible and looked away from the undefeated Chen Mo, actually reached ...... on the first day
230 million! 100% attendance!
And the films released at the same time as "Rush Showdown" have the best first-day box office of only 120 million, which is more than half of "Rush Showdown". If this trend continues, the final box office of "Peak Showdown" may exceed one billion.
As soon as the news came out, everyone was stunned. Industry insiders are busy analyzing the core factors that make "Rush Peaks" so popular, and fans and viewers are simply happy that their idol has made a good movie.
The main creators of "Peak Showdown" struck while the iron was hot, and did publicity in various cities across the country and even in major cities in other countries, and Chen Mo, who has never been very involved in the later stage, also followed everyone to make several announcements. After more than a year, he once again appeared on the stage of Banana Stage's "Friday Music".
I haven't seen him for more than a year, and the hosts of "Friday Joy" have become more and more enthusiastic towards Chen Mo. When greetings, I didn't forget to congratulate Chen Mo on making money by selling stocks at the box office, and Chen Mo thanked them one by one with a smile. When he walked into the backstage surrounded by everyone, he found Ji Ze sitting expressionlessly in the public dressing room, waiting for the makeup artist assistant in the stage to put on his makeup.
There were also three or four young boys in their twenties sitting next to him, dressed in the style of some great national idols, and several of them were very similar in terms of hairstyles and clothing, and at first glance, they couldn't tell who was who.
Noticing that Chen Mo and his party walked into the backstage, the three or four boys immediately stood up and greeted everyone in a proper manner. Introducing themselves as a "Semi group" who has just debuted for a year...... After a lot of rambling words, he didn't forget to raise an "innocent" smile at the end to show his admiration.
Chen Mo nodded as a greeting, walked past everyone and walked next to Ji Ze, patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Why did I see you again?" I find that I see you every time I come to the banana station, what do you call it! β
Without waiting for Ji Ze to speak, the captain of the "Semi Combination" preemptively said, "Brother Ji is here with us." Mr. Qi asked Brother Ji to take us. β
Chen Mo frowned, Ji Ze's status in their company is similar to Yuan Haobin's status in Huaxia Entertainment, when did he fall to bringing newcomers? Not to mention Ji Ze's temper...... The last notice also arranged to make up in a public dressing room......
"You can't really be suppressed, right?" Chen Mo said with a smile.
Ji Ze glared at Chen Mo expressionlessly, and said angrily: "I know and ask!" β
Chen Mo hehe, casually commented: "It's really brain-dead!" β
Although the Chinese music scene has been declining in recent years, with Ji Ze's popularity, whether it is a concert or a new record, there are always die-hard fans who buy it. Under the condition that Ji Ze's status as the king of music was unwavering, their company actually suppressed Ji Ze for the sake of Qin Yuqiong and Sheng Yuan Yao's affairs, or for Sheng Yuan Yao's attitude......
Even if Sheng Yuan is the major shareholder of Ji Ze Company, everyone comes out to eat, and they don't have to get along with the money, right?
Chen Mo glanced at Ji Ze, and always felt that this bastard was like a balloon that had just been blown up, it looked bulging, but it actually burst as soon as it was poked.
Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say that you were going to be banned?" Why did it become a repression again? β
Ji Ze's face sank, he didn't want to deal with Chen Mo, but when he saw Chen Mo's poor appearance, he couldn't help but say, "It's Ah Qiong...... She interceded for me. β
Chen Mo sneered and said casually: "Does she want to help you, or does she want to kill you-"
Ji Ze dug in with a pair of eye knives.
