Chapter 122

"Of course, I am the all-knowing Hermione."

"Hehe, then you're great."

Chen Mo praised her and walked forward.

The next day.

Major media outlets reported the news of yesterday's Oscar awards ceremony.

As Chen Mo, who won the Best Young Actor award, he naturally received a lot of praise from the media.

On the other side, in China.

Upon learning that the local movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the domestic media went crazy, starting to brag about this movie in various ways.

Including several actors, their performances in the movie were also praised by the media!

Many people learned the name Zhang Ziyi under the praise of the media.

This made Zhang Ziyi, who had only debuted for a few years, suddenly rise in fame, and many companies sent her audition invitations.

On Chen Mo's side.

After attending the Oscar awards ceremony, he called Liu Yifei and asked her to come over to prepare for filming the Harry Potter series.

After receiving the call, Liu Yifei hesitated and said, "This time it won't be just a cameo like before, right?"

Chen Mo held the phone and guaranteed, "Don't worry, it definitely won't be a cameo, this time it's an important role, and you'll even have a kissing scene with me."

"Pah! I don't want to film a kissing scene with you!"

Liu Yifei hung up the phone with a blushing face.

A week later.

The fourth Harry Potter movie, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire," officially started filming!

The day before filming started, Liu Yifei and Chen Mo arrived at the set separately, and then some important actors held a script discussion meeting together.

It is worth mentioning that many new actors joined this time, including actors playing seniors from other houses.

In addition, regarding the script, Chen Mo asked Chris Columbus to change the script slightly, deleting all the intimate scenes between Cho Chang, played by Liu Yifei, and others, and adding some intimate scenes with himself.

After a day of script discussion, everyone left.

Emma Watson held Liu Yifei's arm, and the two set off toward the hotel together.

Chen Mo glanced at Emma Watson; to be honest, Chen Mo couldn't understand what this girl was thinking.

She wasn't older than him, but her thinking was very mature. She chatted and laughed with him on weekdays, looking very close, but in reality, both sides maintained a distance.

In addition, Emma Watson seemed to like Liu Yifei very much.

Could it be that this girl's orientation had a problem?

Chen Mo frowned and thought about it.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Mo denied this conjecture.

Because if Emma Watson really had a problem in this regard in his past life, it should have been exposed long ago.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mo finally shook his head and stepped up to catch up.

Don't think about it for now, just be more careful in the future.

The next day...

Filming for the fourth Harry Potter movie officially began.

Familiar actors, familiar director, except for Liu Yifei and the few new actors who were not quite used to it, everyone else was already accustomed to it.

Harry Potter 4 was different from "The Family of Gold Powder" that Liu Yifei filmed; there were many performances without real objects in Harry Potter because these performances required post-production special effects, so it was a bit awkward to film, and those filming for the first time were a bit unable to let go.

When Liu Yifei was filming, she was even stopped by Chris several times.

If it were any other actor, Chris Columbus would have started scolding, but he probably guessed the relationship between Liu Yifei and Chen Mo, so he didn't get angry at Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei also knew her situation, so every day besides filming, she would still find Emma Watson, who had experience, to ask for advice, and Emma Watson also patiently taught her.

This made the relationship between the two become even closer.

Time passed day by day.

Chen Mo was filming...

At the same time, in China.

China, Jingcheng...

The early-year film development conference held by the Film Association in 2002 was held today.

The invited companies or directors included Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and other well-known Chinese directors, and as for companies, there were companies like Huayi.

In addition, the branch company of Moge Company had been established, and Chen Fu was also invited to attend this conference.

Originally, Chen Fu didn't plan to attend, but the organizer of this Chinese film development conference was the official authority, so he had to attend.

In the conference room.

Everyone sat on both sides of the conference table, Chen Fu didn't sit at the front, but sat in the middle position.

At the very front of the conference table were the leaders of the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television.

"Last year, our Chinese film industry was still quite good, especially 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,' whether it was box office or the achievements obtained, it was a big step forward for our Chinese film industry."

"However, the situation this year is not very optimistic. This is a list I got from North America, everyone take a look."

The leader at the very front said and handed the few sheets of paper beside him to everyone.

Everyone took the papers and started to look at them.

Among them, some directors and company representatives frowned after seeing the content, and Chen Fu was considered a half-bucket of water; although he could understand the meaning of the list, he couldn't understand the deeper meaning inside.

Watching everyone below frowning, the leader said coldly, "Next year, North America will have several big productions! 'Lord of the Rings,' 'Star Wars,' 'The Bourne Identity,' 'Stuart Little,' 'Harry Potter 4'..."

When mentioning Harry Potter, the leader's voice stopped, his gaze fell on Chen Fu, and his attitude softened a bit, saying, "Harry Potter was filmed by Moge Company, Chairman Chen is our Chinese person, this one doesn't count."

"But!"

"Excluding Harry Potter, there are still four big productions! How big of an impact will this have on the development of our Chinese film industry!"

Speaking of this, the leader's voice became a bit colder.

"I know our film development started later than the West, but in the past two years, how many of you have we supported! The policies that should be there, the support that should be there, all have been given! And you!"

Being scolded by the leader of the State Administration, everyone below lowered their heads and didn't dare to say anything.

Outside, they were big directors and big bosses who could stir up the wind and rain, but in front of the leader of the State Administration, they were just little brothers.

After scolding for half an hour.

Finally, the leader of the State Administration announced the end of the meeting.

However, he then called Chen Fu to stay.

After leaving Chen Fu alone, the leader of the State Administration said with a smile, "Chairman Chen, your Moge has just returned to your hometown, if there are any difficulties, just say so."

Chen Fu said with a smile, "Okay, leader."

"Mm, the development of our Chinese film industry is still a bit too slow. The impact of big foreign blockbusters and big productions makes it very difficult for our State Administration to handle. This movie is not only a product that makes people happy, but also a kind of cultural dissemination, you understand what I mean, right?"

The leader looked at Chen Fu with deep meaning.

Chen Fu understood now.

He nodded and said, "I understand, leader."

"Mm, your child Chen Mo has developed very well in recent years. If you have nothing to do, come back to the country to play more. Our country actually doesn't lack good movies, right."

"Yes."

"Fine, then let's stop here for today, if you have any difficulties, you can find me at any time."

"Then goodbye, leader."

Chen Fu left the conference room.

Arriving outside, Chen Fu got into the car.

The car drove toward the direction of the Moge branch company, Chen Fu sat in the car.

He thought for a moment, picked up his phone, and called Chen Mo.

The call took a long time to connect.

Chen Mo's somewhat helpless voice came from inside: "Old Chen, it's two in the morning, there's a time difference between the country and here, why are you calling me now?"

Chen Fu was stunned, only then did he remember the time difference, he smiled and said, "Forgot."

Then he roughly told him about the meeting just now.

After listening, Chen Mo just said he knew and hung up the phone.

The next day, Chen Mo climbed out of bed, then put on his clothes, had breakfast, and walked toward the set.

Walking on the road, Chen Mo thought about what Chen Fu said on the phone early this morning.

Thinking about the content of the phone call, Chen Mo recalled the history of the development of Chinese film in the future.
