Chapter 116
"I will get in touch with Chen Mo in a while."
Cameron said.
Hearing Cameron's words, the representative from Fox Film Corporation nodded, effectively agreeing.
And the other companies were still struggling with the decision.
At this time, the representative from Universal Pictures frowned and asked, "Director Cameron, why must you choose Chen Mo?"
Cameron said, "His appearance! I think his appearance is the most suitable for the lead role in this movie."
"Alright... I agree."
Half a day later.
Chen Mo, who was exercising at home, received the news.
"What? Cameron invited me to star in 'Titanic'?"
Chen Mo widened his eyes in confusion.
In his past life, "Titanic" was released at the end of this year, and the male lead who starred in this movie was Leonardo.
How did it become an invitation for him to star in it now?
The most critical thing was that he was only 11 years old!
What was wrong with this world?
Could it be the butterfly effect?
Chen Mo's heart was filled with doubts.
Beside him, Mother Chen looked at her son's confused appearance and asked with some doubt, "What's wrong? Is there something special about this movie?"
"Uh, no."
Chen Mo shook his head.
Then he pondered for a moment in his heart, and then said to Mother Chen, "Mom, help me set up a time with Director Cameron. I want to talk to him about the script first."
"Hmm, okay, I'll make the call now."
Mother Chen nodded and turned to walk out of the gym.
The next day, after 10:00 AM.
Cameron came to Chen Mo's house with the script he had modified all night yesterday.
On the sofa on the first floor, Chen Mo, Mother Chen, and Cameron were sitting by the sofa.
Chen Mo was holding the script and reading it seriously.
The script was roughly the same as in his past life, but there were some changes.
For example, the protagonist Jack was a 12-year-old Easterner who followed his father to the Western world, but his father was beaten to death by local people, and Jack was kindly taken in by a bar owner, but in an accident, he obtained a ticket for the Titanic and boarded the ship.
Except for this change, the rest of the plot remained unchanged.
After reading the script, Chen Mo pondered in his heart.
Mother Chen next to him curiously picked up the script and started reading it too.
When Mother Chen saw that the Jack character played by Chen Mo in the script had to have intimate scenes with a woman, and even had to draw that kind of painting for a woman, she closed the script without hesitation and said, "My Mo Mo will not accept this script."
Chen Mo: "???"
Cameron hurriedly said, "Chen Nushi, may I ask if there is a problem with the script?"
Mother Chen opened the script and pointed her finger at the scene where the painting was to be done.
After Cameron saw that this was the reason, he hurriedly said, "Chen Nushi, when we get to filming this part, I can find a body double for Chen Mo."
Mother Chen said, "That won't work either. My Mo Mo is still too young; what does he know about love? This kind of movie is not suitable for him."
Chen Mo: "......"
In Mother Chen's heart, her son was still that innocent little boy, just a little piglet who didn't know how to "root" a cabbage.
"Uh, Mom, can I say a few words?"
Chen Mo said at this time.
Mother Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Then Chen Mo looked at Cameron and said, "Mr. Cameron, may I ask why you chose me?"
He was still very confused about this; after all, according to the development of his past life, Leonardo starred in the male lead of this movie and became the classic Jack that is still passed down today.
"Because in my heart, you are the actor most suitable for this movie. In fact, the age setting for the male lead in this script was originally around 20, but your appearance made me make changes and modify the script."
Cameron said seriously.
Hearing Cameron's words, Chen Mo said, "Then when is this movie scheduled to start filming?"
Cameron said, "At the latest, filming will start early next year. We can temporarily film other people's scenes first. After all, you are still too young, and I will give you as much time to grow as possible."
After hearing this, Chen Mo pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay! I'll do it."
"What?"
Mother Chen next to him immediately frowned and looked at Chen Mo.
And Chen Mo looked at Mother Chen and said, "Mom, I am an actor. Although I haven't acted in four years, I still deeply love acting; I just haven't found a script I like."
It was definitely not because he wanted to see the nude painting...
Chen Mo added in his heart.
Listening to Chen Mo's sincere words, Mother Chen pondered for a long time, then nodded and agreed.
"Okay, if you want to film it, then film it."
Cameron next to them saw the two people's words and a smile appeared on his face.
Then Cameron discussed the content of the script with Chen Mo for a while, then left the script with Chen Mo and said goodbye.
After Cameron left, Chen Mo took the script and walked upstairs.
Behind him, Mother Chen looked at Chen Mo with a somewhat complex expression.
She felt that her son had grown up!
The next day, Cameron and the film company's representative came to Chen Mo's house again.
Father Chen hired a lawyer specifically to negotiate the contract with the film company's representative.
They negotiated for more than an hour.
Because this movie had investments from several giant companies, Chen Mo couldn't get a share of the profits, so he could only ask for a higher salary.
The salary was 2 million US dollars!
This salary was already considered very high at this time!
In fact, Chen Mo didn't care about money now; after all, his father's company had a market value of more than 2 billion US dollars, and in two years, after turning it over and operating it a few times, his family's wealth could double again.
Chen Mo mainly cared about influence and fame!
If he starred in this movie, then he would truly be famous all over the world!
After the salary was negotiated, the next step was signing the contract.
After the signing was completed, Cameron and the company representative left, while Chen Mo went upstairs to continue reading the script.
The next day, Chen Mo went to school.
He hadn't seen the little girl Liu Yifei for a few days, and Chen Mo really missed her a bit.
Time reached December...
The total sales of Chen Mo's album "Green Li Zi" had reached 3 million copies by now.
In addition, Warner Records officially released this album of Chen Mo's overseas at the beginning of December!
This time, it was released in as many as 23 countries, including Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong, China, as well as the UK, Indonesia, etc...
As soon as the album was released, it landed on major music charts in various countries!
The album's sales could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds!
In just one day, excluding North America, the total sales in other countries reached 890,000 copies!
This data made the senior executives at Warner excited!
They contacted Chen Mo immediately, hoping that Chen Mo could go to various countries to participate in some activities for promotion, but they were refused by Chen Mo.
Because Chen Mo had been busy during this period of the year, he rarely had time to rest, and it was less than two months until the New Year, so Chen Mo wanted to spend time with his family and Liu Yifei.
Mid-December.
The annual Christmas arrived.
On this day, Liu Yifei and Mother Liu came to Chen Mo's house to spend Christmas together.
The two of them played and laughed in the villa for a day, and after finishing dinner, Chen Mo and Liu Yifei went outside the villa.
At this moment, it was snowing outside. ===== CHAPTER 118 =====
