Chapter 104

The box office statistics for the first day of both sides were out!

*Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets* had a first-day box office of 11 million US dollars in North America!

*Tomb Raider*'s box office in North America reached 10.4 million US dollars!

The two sides differed by 600,000, which could be considered a tie!

The second day.

*Harry Potter*'s box office was 13.4 million US dollars, while *Tomb Raider* exceeded *Harry Potter* and reached 15.3 million US dollars.

The third day.

*Harry Potter* surpassed *Tomb Raider* again!

The box office war between the two sides was intense.

And while the box office war was in full swing, Chen Mo's second brand-new North American album, *Brilliant*, was officially launched!

That day, the album appeared in major audio-visual stores, and Chen Mo's fans lined up to buy it!

After buying it, they immediately took the album home and started listening to it.

*Brilliant* had ten songs in total, five electronic and five pop!

And the lead song was *Natural* by Imagine Dragons.

When listening to this song, the impassioned sound rang out, and the heart-shaking electronic music made the listeners open their mouths wide!

"Oh! God!"

"Oh my god! How can Chen Mo's voice sing this song!"

"Damn it! I love this song to death! I've already listened to it ten times!"

"God! I think Chen Mo is definitely God's child!"

On some North American music forums, netizens were frantically praising this album.

And under the praise of these listeners, more people became curious about Chen Mo's album through the internet.

Especially some adults!

Because Chen Mo's previous album, *Green Plum*, had a somewhat youthful singing style and voice, but now, seeing the comments online, they became curious too.

Soon, a day passed.

In just one day, the sales of Chen Mo's new album *Brilliant* reached 480,000 copies across North America!

The second day, the daily sales reached 630,000 copies!

The third day...

The fourth day.

The fifth day.

Chen Mo's name became popular in the music scene again, and the audience who liked him transformed from young teenagers to adults!

Aside from the album's popularity!

Avril, who participated in the album recording this time, also became a little popular!

That penetrating voice made many people curious about this girl.

On the film side.

The box office war continued.

However, when it continued to the seventh day, the box office war changed!

On this day, the box office statistics showed that *Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets* reached a daily box office of 18 million US dollars!

While *Tomb Raider* only had 12 million US dollars!

It directly surpassed the latter by 6 million US dollars!

This change not only surprised Paramount, but even the Mo Mo company was surprised.

Both sides immediately launched an investigation and finally discovered that the reason for the box office growth was actually that Chen Mo's album caused more viewers to choose *Harry Potter*.

Learning this reason, Paramount was speechless and felt somewhat helpless!

Simply playing dirty!

We are in the film industry; why are you bringing the influence of the music industry over here!

Although Paramount was helpless and even somewhat annoyed, they had no other way. Should they also let Angelina Jolie release an album?

Are you kidding!

If it were taking a nude photo album, it might be possible, but releasing a record definitely wouldn't work!

Just like that, time passed day by day...

Twenty days later.

*Harry Potter* and *Tomb Raider* were both taken off the screens.

The final North American box office for both sides settled at 380 million US dollars and 230 million US dollars respectively.

*Harry Potter* won a great victory!

Afterward, the Mo Mo company started discussing the overseas release plan for *Harry Potter* with overseas partners.

At the same time.

Chris Columbus also started preparing the filming plan for the third *Harry Potter* film, *Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban*.

Time arrived in July.

It had been a month since Chen Mo's new album *Brilliant* was released, and sales across North America reached 10 million, reaching Diamond record status!

The Mo Mo company prepared to release the album in Southeast Asia.

At the same time.

In Southeast Asia, Zhou Jielun, who debuted last year and had a certain market in Wanwan, released his second album, *Fantasy*. As soon as the album was released, it caused heated discussion among the masses!

Especially the song *Nunchucks* inside, which put the already controversial Zhou Jielun in the spotlight.

Extremely fast singing speed, lyrics that couldn't be understood at all, but a rhythm that was catchy—people who liked it liked it even more, and people who didn't like it hated it even more!

Tianya Forum...

"What kind of trash is this? I listened to it four or five times, and all I heard was 'Fast use nunchucks, hum hum ha hey!'"

"Haha, so catchy! Love it, love it!"

"How to change... how to change, fast use nunchucks!"

"Still better to listen to Chen Mo's *Sunny Day*!"

"I heard Chen Mo's new North American album *Brilliant* is going to be released in China, looking forward to it!"

"Looking forward to it +1"

"Looking forward to it +1000"

Soon, it was August.

The third *Harry Potter* was about to start filming!

Chen Mo called Liu Yifei, because he had said before that he would let Liu Yifei play a role in the third one.

Jingcheng, in the Beijing Film Academy dormitory.

After receiving Chen Mo's call, Liu Yifei jumped up excitedly.

She contacted Liu Ayi immediately and then asked for leave from school.

"Teacher, I want to ask for leave."

"You've only been in school for a few days and you want to ask for leave? What for?"

"The third *Harry Potter* is starting filming, and I have a role in it, so I need to go over to film."

"Uh?"

The teacher was stunned and looked at Liu Yifei with some suspicion.

Finally, Liu Ayi arrived at the school and explained the reason to the teacher, and only then did the teacher believe it.

Afterward, Liu Yifei and Liu Ayi took a flight to the UK, to the filming set of the third *Harry Potter*.

Three days later, Chen Mo also headed to the film crew.

After arriving at the set, Chen Mo met with everyone in the crew!

Two years... Western children are naturally more precocious, so Emma Watson, who was already twelve, had changed a lot; her looks were still delicate and cute, but some parts had already begun to take shape.

"Hey, Harry, long time no see. The new semester is about to start; are you ready for our adventure?"

Seeing Chen Mo arrive at the set, Emma Watson said to Chen Mo with a smile.

Afterward, she raised her hand and hugged Chen Mo gently.

"The little lotus has just revealed its sharp tip."
