Chapter 46: Back to Mo Du, Yang Mi Founds Jia Xing!

The new release period for "Charlotte's Trouble" has arrived!

33 days!

The cumulative box office has reached 15.54 billion RMB.

"15 billion, really awesome!"

"I heard the total investment for this film was apparently under 20 million!"

"That's amazing!"

"Did you see Princess Liu's interview with Director Lin Mo? Young, handsome, rich and wealthy—simply perfect!"

"'Charlotte's Trouble' is indeed a good movie; I've watched it twice!"

"Really awesome!"

"......"

Online, the discussion also continues nonstop.

And here.

Lin Mo had already gotten up.

He naturally saw the final box office for "Charlotte's Trouble".

Of course.

He didn't see it online.

It was a message Re Ba sent him.

The girl was even more excited than he was.

Besides that.

In the "Charlotte's Trouble" crew group chat.

Early in the morning it was also 99+.

"Oh my god, I can't believe it—I actually got to act in a film with a ten‑billion box office!" Wang Zhi.

Qiu Ya, played by Wang Zhi, also got a bit of fame.

But…

It wasn't her acting that mattered, but her figure.

Can't help it, especially that swimming scene in the pool—the figure was flawless!

"Yeah, 1.5 billion box office, can't even imagine!" Yin Zheng.

"If we released our film during the Spring Festival slot, the box office should be higher, right?" Ma Li.

"That's hard to say; the Spring Festival slot is a clash of deities!" Shen Teng.

"Brother Cheng Long's new film 'Kung Fu Yoga', and Star Master's new film 'Mermaid' …" Tian Xiwei.

Indeed.

When the Spring Festival slot starts, it's all deities battling.

Take a look at Star Master's new film 'Mermaid'.

The opening‑day box office was 310 million RMB.

And Cheng Long—his new film 'Kung Fu Yoga' premieres today at midnight; surpassing 100 million RMB on opening day is a breeze.

If 'Charlotte's Trouble' were placed in the Spring Festival slot.

Although the film's quality is indeed solid.

But regarding box office, it probably wouldn't break 1 billion.

So,

Lin Mo's decision was correct.

In the days ahead.

Besides returning to his rural hometown to offer paper offerings at his ancestors' graves, Lin Mo has nothing else to do, just staying home to play mahjong with his mother and aunt.

It's Chuan Province, after all.

Mahjong is indispensable during the New Year festivities.

Time flies,

The fifteenth day of the lunar New Year has already passed.

Lin Mo is also almost back to Mo Du.

Staying at home is boring, and he hasn't seen Re Ba for over half a month, missing her a lot.

Re Ba even asked when he'll set off, since she has already arrived in Mo Du.

Hearing that her son is about to leave.

His mother got frantic, quickly packed a huge bunch of hometown specialties—cured meat, sausages, and other tasty treats—stuffed them to the brim.

Seeing so much, Lin Mo just packaged them for courier, because they were too heavy to carry.

When he was about to leave, his mother kept holding his hand, repeatedly telling him to take care of himself out there, don't forget to eat well, and so on.

Of course, she didn't forget to add, "Also, remember to bring my future daughter‑in‑law back next year!"

During the New Year, Lin Mo also told his dad and mom about Re Ba; the two elders looked at the photos and were thoroughly satisfied!

As for his dad, he didn't have much to say.

He walked over, gently patted Lin Mo's shoulder, meaning, "Son, keep it up! We know you can do it."

Between father and son, sometimes a single gesture works better than a thousand words.

Magic City Airport.

Lin Mo had just stepped out when he saw Re Ba waving at him.

She was wearing a thick down jacket, put on sunglasses, looking especially stylish, and could be seen from far away.

"Mo Ge!" Re Ba's voice was crisp and loud; she hopped over like a little rabbit and, without a word, gave Lin Mo a big hug.

Lin Mo set the suitcase on the floor and, with a solid thump, caught her.

"It looks like this year has treated you well; your face has gotten rounder," Lin Mo said with a smile, reaching out to gently pinch Re Ba's chubby little cheek.

Hearing this...

Re Ba pretended to be angry, puffing out her cheeks, but her eyes smiled into crescents: "Oh, not at all, this is the happiness I ate up during the New Year~!"

Lin Mo was amused, his eyes squinting into a slit: "Alright, alright, it's my fault; our Re Ba is full of blessings, round and cute. Come, let's get in the car and keep talking."

Saying that, Lin Mo lifted the suitcase, and the two walked side by side toward the parking area.

Re Ba chattered nonstop along the way, sharing funny anecdotes about her family during the New Year; Lin Mo listened, nodded, and occasionally interjected a few words.

After getting into the car, Lin Mo started the engine, gently pressed the accelerator, and the car slowly drove out of the parking lot.

Relaxed music played inside the car as the two continued their earlier conversation, chatting animatedly.

"Mo Ge, what are your plans after the New Year?" Re Ba suddenly changed the subject and seriously asked Lin Mo about his recent situation.

Lin Mo replied, "I already arranged everything before the year ended. How about you?"

"Me? Of course I'm going to act, Mi Jie got me a new drama, the role is very challenging, I'm so excited!" Re Ba's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Speaking of Yang Mi.

I have to say, she really works hard.

She didn't even go home for the New Year.

A few days ago, Lin Mo learned that Yang Mi had founded Jiaxing Media.

She and her manager invested together.

Because Yang Mi invested a bit more, her share naturally became larger.

The company had just been established, so she naturally had a lot to handle.

After more than half a month away from home, upon entering, the house was still bright and clean; that was thanks to the scheduled cleaning service arranged by Yang Mi.

That evening, when inviting Yang Mi to dinner, they had originally set 8 p. m., but she was busy until almost 9 p. m. and rushed in, immediately apologizing, "Oh, I'm really sorry, I've been so busy lately I got dizzy, sorry for being so late!"

Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand, "It's fine, I know you're busy, I understand."

Re Ba, standing nearby, was as close to Yang Mi as a sister, quickly took her coat and hung it up.

Earlier, Lin Mo had heard Re Ba mention that Yang Mi had signed a wager agreement with Shang Shi Film, so he casually asked, "I heard you signed a big deal with Shang Shi, playing a wager?"

Yang Mi nodded, very straightforward: "Yeah, from now on I have to push hard, I've taken on several dramas to shoot. Re Ba, you also need to lend a hand, let's work together!"

"Don't worry, Mi Jie, I'll work hard!"

Re Ba patted her chest.

Actually,

At first, Yang Mi also wanted to borrow money from Lin Mo.

But she thought better of it.

What she needed wasn't a few hundred, nor tens of millions.

"I have a promising script on hand lately; if you're interested, how about investing some money and we play together?" Lin Mo thought for a moment and extended an olive branch.

He had actually quietly had Liu Qin acquire the rights to "Eternal Love Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms."

Yang Mi's eyes lit up instantly, her face full of surprise, and she asked, "Really? Tell me more!"
