It was rare to get off work from nine to five. Chen Mo, who came home early, looked at the empty house and suddenly felt a little bored.

He took out his phone and texted Mu Yu.

"What are you doing?"

Mu Yu, who was busy finishing his work before leaving get off work, heard the vibrating sound of his mobile phone. He stared at the report and looked down at the mobile phone. In a few seconds, Chen Mo had already sent several messages one after another.

"what's for dinner?"

"I don't really want to eat at home."

"I don't really want to eat food either."

"Are you busy, I'll go to the company to find you?"

Mu Yu hooked the corners of his mouth and lowered his head to reply to the message. "It's not busy, come and find me. There is a newly opened restaurant from country F near the company, and I heard that the food is good. How about I treat you to country F food?"

Chen Mo frowned, and replied casually: "Eat western food, I'm afraid I won't be full."

"If you don't have enough to eat, let's go home and order some noodles." Mu Yu replied, "I won't let you go hungry."

Chen Mo hooked the corner of his mouth, replied with a kiss pattern, then picked up the keys and wallet and went out.

Ten minutes later, Chen Mo, who was driving fast, parked the car at the gate of Mu's Group.Mu's employees had already walked out of the building in twos and threes. When they saw Chen Mo striding in, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, everyone smiled and nodded in greeting.

Chen Mo waved goodbye to everyone, and took the VIP elevator to the president's office.

Mu Yu was still sitting in front of the computer and reading the report.

"The boss is still so active after the employees are off work. No wonder the Mu family is earning more money every year." Chen Mo leaned on the door and smiled, "Is Mr. Mu off work? Do you want me to sit down and wait for you for a while?"

"Sit down first, I'll be fine soon." I just asked the secretary for the address of a restaurant in country F, and then ordered the secretary to order according to Chen Mo's taste. It took some time, and Mu Yu had to wait after get off work There was a small delay to get all the work done.

After tidying up the desktop and turning off the computer, they waited for Chen Mo to finish his last game of Fighting the Landlord before they left the office.

At dusk, when the lights come on, the grotesque night scene of Huajing City will always exude a breathtaking charm.

When getting in the car, Chen Mo found someone following behind him, and frowned impatiently, then Mu Yu said with a smile: "You don't like western food very much, but recently you are tired of eating food, so it's good to have a change. A few more steaks and a few pizzas, maybe I won’t have to go home and order noodles.”

Chen Mo came back to his senses, smiled and said, "Then I will work hard. I will try to make you a man who successfully escaped from the kitchen tonight."

"Then don't I want to reward you well?" Mu Yu said, while waiting for the red light, he leaned over to Chen Mo and gently kissed Chen Mo's cheek.Chen Mo only felt the flash of the flashlight, and couldn't help saying with a sullen face, "These paparazzi are really annoying."

Mu Yu smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "If you don't like it, then I won't let them follow. Being a celebrity also requires a private space. Tell their newspaper office when you have time, and they will be closed all day on Saturday and Sunday, and they are not allowed to follow."

Chen Mo couldn't help laughing out loud, and motioned Mu Yu to pull over and stop.

Then he got out of the car, walked to the back, and knocked on the window of the paparazzi following him.The little reporter rolled down the car window tremblingly, looked at Chen Mo innocently, and explained full of fear: "I just want to take a picture of you together. Fans like to watch the daily life of idols. If you don't If you like it, I'll delete it right now—"

"Forget it." Chen Mo waved his hand. The relationship between entertainers and media reporters is very complicated, and he didn't want to embarrass others too much.It's just that sometimes I'm in a good mood or a bad mood, and I really don't want gossip reporters to follow behind to spoil the fun.

"Don't follow me today. Don't follow me on Saturdays and Sundays from now on. I'm going to rest too."

The little reporter nodded and agreed, seeing that Chen Mo didn't give any more instructions, he stepped on the gas pedal and ran as fast as he could—but things didn't go as planned, the peak traffic jam during the off-duty period hadn't passed yet.Even Chen Mo's luxury sports car has to stop here to eat the exhaust, not to mention the buns from Gossip Weekly.

After strolling back to the car, Mu Yu looked at the bored Chen Mo with a smile and said, "Is it finished?"

Chen Mo nodded: "It's over, I'll talk to Brother Dong tomorrow and ask him to say hello to the major media."

It was already an hour later when we finally arrived at the F country restaurant.Chen Mo felt that his hunger was on the front of his back. Fortunately, Mu Yu had the foresight to ask the secretary to order the food, and the two of them started to leave within a few minutes after sitting down.

Chen Mo looked left and right to look at the surrounding environment, and said with a smile: "The decoration here is pretty good."

"If you like, we will come here often in the future." While talking, Mu Yu cut the steak on the plate, and then handed the cut steaks to Chen Mo so that he could eat them directly.

Chen Mo thanked him with a smile. Just as he put a piece of steak into his mouth, someone beside him said with a smile, "Hey, Chen Mo, Mr. Mu, are you here to eat too?"

Chen Mo turned his head, and saw a big beauty wearing a wine-red suspender dress standing behind her. The soft and smooth material obediently outlined the woman's graceful figure with bumps and bumps. Her snow-white arms wrapped around the arms of the man beside her, and she smiled Qianxi greeted each other.

Chen Mo was in a daze for a while, before he recognized that the glamorous beauty in front of him was Zhao Lan, who played Da Qiao in "Three Kingdoms: Soochow", and he could be regarded as his big-screen Virgo partner.

"It turned out to be Sister Zhao, what a coincidence." Chen Mo smiled and stood up, shook hands with Zhao Lan and hugged him, then turned his gaze to the man beside him.

Zhao Lan introduced with a smile: "This is my fiancé, Jiang Ning."

Jiang Ning shook hands with Chen Mo with a smile.But he put more attention on Mu Yu.Jiang Ning was originally a real estate businessman. A few years ago, he learned from others to invest in making movies. Although he also made some money, in Jiang Ning's view, the biggest gain for him to invest in the entertainment industry is to embrace the goddess and expand his network along the way.

But right now is not a good time to sit down and have a long talk.Zhao Lan and his wife only exchanged a few words of pleasantries, then found their own seats and sat down.Before leaving, Zhao Lan did not forget to invite Chen Mo: "I have a new play, and I want to ask you to play a cameo role. I wonder if you will do me a favor, Xiao Mo?"

Chen Mo smiled slightly, and said casually, "Sister Zhao invites me, so there should be no problem with me. Let your manager discuss the specific schedule with Brother Dong."

Zhao Lan nodded with a smile.As a result, as soon as he turned around, Yang Qindong's phone call came in.It was to communicate with Chen Mo about Hollywood distribution issues——

The other party couldn't bear Chen Mo's brutal threat, and his attitude softened as expected.It was promised that "In the Name of Love" could be screened in Hollywood and North America as scheduled, but only 600 yuan was given for the number of big screens, and 2000 yuan was given to "The Grand Master of Wudang" in the same period. Country M’s distribution department explained that such an arrangement is based on market considerations—after all, "In the Name of Love" is not a martial arts drama that is widely popular among crooked nuts, nor is it a pure romance film, so the other party thinks that "In the Name of Love" The potential of "The Name" is not enough to support more film schedules.

Of course, if the box office fails due to the low screening rate, this will further prove the fact that "In the Name of Love" suffered a tragic defeat in Hollywood.At that time, regardless of the global box office of "In the Name of Love", the Hollywood media will still say something.

Chen Mo frowned upon hearing this, but didn't say anything else, and only asked Yang Qindong to keep an eye on the publisher to do a good job of promoting the M country.

After putting down the phone, Chen Mo looked at Mu Yu with some headaches, and couldn't help complaining: "...Do you think they study "Sun Tzu's Art of War" every day, and they are more slippery than me in how to dismantle tricks."

Mu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Although the 600 yuan screen is a little short, if the quality of the movie is good and the promotion is in place, we can also find a way to incite local movie fans to ask the movie theater to increase the number of times the movie is played and the screening rate. I Although I don't know much about this aspect, but I remember that when "Qinhuai Fengyue" was released in M ​​country, the screening rate was not high, and later this method was used to force M country to increase the number of screens."

Chen Mo nodded thoughtfully.When he came back to his senses, he smiled again: "Don't be self-effacing. It's not like you don't know this business, you know it better than me."

"In business, as long as you want to make money, these methods always lead to the same goal." Mu Yu smiled, and urged Chen Mo to eat quickly, "The steak will not taste good when it gets cold."

Chen Mo smiled slightly, inserted a piece of steak to feed Mu Yu, and deliberately asked, "Is it cold?"

Mu Yu looked at Chen Mo deeply, and said with a smile: "The time is too short to taste it, why don't you give me another bite?"

Chen Mo looked around subconsciously, and found that no one was paying attention here, so he fed another piece of steak to Mu Yu, and asked in a low voice, "Is it cold?"

Mu Yu didn't respond, but instead cut off his own steak and fed it to Chen Mo.

Although Chen Mo often said that his stomach didn't quite match Western food, Mu Yu fed him two bites from time to time, and then ate a few pieces of lobster meat and king crab meat. There is no need for President Mu to post the next article after he returns home.

Satisfied, he ate a hearty meal, and after returning home, he did some exercise with Mu Yu to burn off the excess fat.Chen Mo, who didn't wake up until noon the next day, felt refreshed.In the kitchen, Big Boss Mu was making brunch for someone who was sleeping late on the bed. The sun poured in through the gaps in the dense curtains, and the blanket was soft with a hint of sunlight, making the whole person feel better.

But such a good mood disappeared immediately after receiving the call from Yang Qindong.

"What did you say? The Hollywood blockbuster "Robot Wars Five" has moved up its schedule to Singles' Day?" Hearing Yang Qindong's notification on the phone, Chen Mo asked in disbelief.

"Not only "Robot Wars Five", but even "Crabman IV" has also adjusted its schedule, from the Lunar New Year file to the Christmas file. In addition, there is also a chick movie that has also been changed to the Singles' Day schedule..."

"So they want to attack our "In the Name of Love"?" Chen Mo concluded with a gloomy expression.

Yang Qindong frowned and said, "Even if we knew it, we couldn't prevent them from changing the schedule. After all, they had very good reasons."

After a pause, Yang Qindong added: "Not only is there action in Hollywood, but even Shengyuan Entertainment has a pure love drama adapted from a novel with an investment of 3000 million. All the movies are based on fans of the original books. It’s not good for them to be so eyeing—”

Chen Mo sneered again and again, and couldn't help cursing: "Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon that can't be pinched?"

Yang Qindong remained silent.

However, Chen Mo couldn't sit still anymore, and said to Yang Qindong while getting dressed, "All the people in the studio are notified to go back to the company to work overtime. Let's discuss the next publicity plan. If they make such a fuss, the original publicity plan will definitely not work." gone."

Yang Qindong nodded, and immediately said: "Okay, I will notify them to come to work."

Mu Yu, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard the movement in the bedroom and brought the freshly steamed shrimp dumplings to the dining table.Before he had time to go back to the kitchen to serve the porridge, he saw Chen Mo come out in a rage after getting dressed, and said to him while talking on the phone: "Sorry, I have to go back to the studio, I can't be at home with you today."

"No matter what happens, don't delay breakfast." Mu Yu frowned and pushed him down at the dining table, then went to the kitchen to fill up two bowls of porridge. "Eat first, and I'll take you to the studio after dinner."

Chen Mo angrily told Mu Yu at the dinner table that he was sniped by Hollywood and Shengyuan Entertainment.

Mu Yu frowned calmly, never expecting Hollywood to do things so terribly.No wonder my little Mo is so angry.

Just after the schedules of several Hollywood movies and the film adaptation of the novel invested by Shengyuan were announced, the domestic media and colleagues in the industry were also in an uproar.

After experiencing racial discrimination and apology incidents, Chen Mo's rift with Hollywood has long been known.Even the news that Hollywood rejected the release of "In the Name of Love" in North America was heard by everyone.Afterwards, Chen Mo's extremely tough attitude made the Hollywood distributors withdraw their decision, but Hollywood still manipulated the screening rate.Everyone thought that this matter had come to an end, but they didn't expect that Hollywood's trump card hadn't been used yet.

The schedule adjustment triggered a schedule war, which made the already somewhat niche "In the Name of Love" face the attack of "Robot Wars V" and "Crabman IV", and also had to face the adaptation of Hollywood Chick Movie and Shengyuan Investment The siege, this posture is definitely trying to crush "In the Name of Love" to death at the source rhythm.

With such a slap in the face, Hollywood definitely wants to win back from Chen Mo this time, right?

Faced with such a situation, influential film and television magazines in China have also expressed their views.

"This is a war between China and Hollywood!" Yang Xiaobo, a famous film critic, said in the China Film Magazine: "Although the power of the two parties is somewhat different, we have to admit that this is Hollywood's beating of Chen Mo. , or it can be said to be revenge. Whether it is "Robot Wars V" or "Crabman IV", the fan base of these two films has already exceeded billions worldwide. The original theme of "In the Name of Love" "Compared with these two films, it is like a canoe colliding with a giant ship. Whether "In the Name of Love" will be smashed to pieces after the collision, to be honest, I am very pessimistic about the ending."

"For a long time, the pursuit of Hollywood by filmmakers around the world has reached the point of being regarded as a god. It is undeniable that the Hollywood film system is indeed worth learning from the global film practitioners in some places. With the support of the superpower M, Hollywood Its film system is nearing perfection, and it uses its unique method to dump the hegemonic culture of country M to billions of people around the world, turning country M into a golden sanctuary with the dream of country M, and making people all over the world flock to it crazy.” Golden Horse After the incident, the chairman of the judging committee for the award also wrote an article with real feelings to analyze the current situation of China's entertainment industry.

"In contrast, the Chinese film system, which was formed almost at the same time as Hollywood, still maintains the embarrassing status quo that has been developing for many years but has been stagnant due to the lack of attention of Chinese officials in the entertainment industry in recent decades. We can only watch Watching the giant ship of Hollywood rake in at least tens of billions of box office every year in the Chinese film market, but it can't do anything. Now, do you want to watch Hollywood bully local filmmakers with its power?"

"I love to watch Hollywood blockbusters, but I am also from China. When Chinese films are attacked by Hollywood films in my country, I would rather give up my favorite visual effects and support domestic films." A senior movie fan said on Suanbian.com So comment.

Because of the deliberate guidance of Chen Mo's studio, the schedule of Singles' Day, which was originally very inconspicuous, has become a highly anticipated war schedule.

Hollywood wants to rely on its blockbuster background to snipe Chen Mo's "In the Name of Love", and Chen Mo can also use Hollywood's actions in turn to arouse the patriotic sentiment of the Chinese people.He asked Yang Qindong and the PR team of Chen Mo's studio to contact the good media and magazines, constantly exaggerating the tragic atmosphere of the imminent war.Through the promotion of major media, online marketing accounts and even trolls, the fans' emotions were mobilized wave after wave.Although some media disagreed, but under the general trend, except for a few magazines bought by Shengyuan Entertainment, no one would speak against Chen Mo's studio at this time.

And even the few magazines bought by Shengyuan Entertainment are happy to sing bad news about "In the Name of Love" at this time, denouncing "In the Name of Love" from various angles as useless. Due to the rebellious psychology of the audience, coupled with the proper publicity and hype of Chen Mo's studio, many people have preconceived inclinations to "In the Name of Love".

At the first industry conference held by the General Administration of Film and Television, the domestic distributors, producers, and industry colleagues who had already faintly formed an alliance also stood on Chen Mo's side.

In fact, as early as when several major Hollywood films wanted to change their files, domestic distributors had already called Chen Mo.If Chen Mo is willing, they can always find a way to mess up the Hollywood movie's proposal to change the file.

On the contrary, Chen Mo himself felt that blind avoidance was not a problem.Now that Hollywood has made up its mind to plot against itself, even if it avoids this time, it won't be able to avoid the next one.What's more, even if he avoided it, if Hollywood took advantage of the situation to hype the news about Chen Mo's defeat without a fight, Chen Mo would feel that he couldn't afford to lose that person.In addition, Hollywood has calculated Chen Mo's film scheduling rate in the North American market... No matter how much he thought, Chen Mo couldn't swallow this breath, and decided to use his tricks.Why not detonate this small fight during the Singles' Day schedule into a large-scale war!

It just so happens that the newly established State Administration of Film and Television is also looking for an opportunity to attack Hollywood.Now that things have come to this place, it's easy to handle.

So everyone tacitly contributed their own strengths, just to see if Huaxia's own movies can compete with Hollywood movies while ensuring the quality when movie fans across the country are enthusiastic.

In such a hot atmosphere, the time finally came to November NO.11.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the entrances of major movie theaters in the country were already bustling with people. The premiere of "In the Name of Love" is at eight o'clock in the evening. The premiere of "Robot Wars Five" is also scheduled at this time, and another chick movie in Hollywood and an adaptation invested by Shengyuan Entertainment will be released a week later.

Huge posters decorate the entire movie city with an extraordinarily atmospheric atmosphere.Long queues lined up in front of the ticket gates on both sides.

"Give me two tickets to 'In the Name of Love'!"

"Give me a ticket to Robot Wars V!"

"One popcorn, two Cokes..."

The hands turned slowly, and the time came to 45:[-] p.m. bit by bit. The premiere of "Robot V" and the premiere of "In the Name of Love" are all sold out.The screening halls of the two movies started checking tickets at the same time.

The crowd visible to the naked eye seemed like ants, huffing and entering the screening hall at once.

The audience who entered the theater of "In the Name of Love" uphold the belief of supporting domestic products while looking forward to the quality of the movie.

"I don't know if this movie is worth buying a movie ticket to support. After all, most of Huaxia's movies have always been difficult to explain in terms of plot. If it wasn't for supporting Momo and Xiuxiu, I wouldn't watch it Domestic movies." A girl in her 20s wrinkled her nose and complained to her boyfriend.

In fact, when they were queuing up to buy tickets, the young couple had a dispute over whether to buy "Robot Wars V" or "In the Name of Love".In the end, it was the girl's persistence and patriotism that took the top spot.Boys succumb to the power of girls.But in Cao Ying, his heart is in Han, and he still misses the gorgeous special effects of "Robot Wars V" in every possible way.

Hearing what his little girlfriend said at this moment, the boy could only bite the bullet and comfort him: "It's okay, if this movie doesn't look good, at worst we can go back and watch "Robot Wars V"."

In fact, this is also the voice of many movie fans.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the lights in the projection hall dimmed instantly.The large screen that was broadcasting an advertisement went dark for an instant, and then turned on again.

The movie has officially started.
