Chapter 130

Over a million on the first day!

It directly reached the level of a platinum record!

This data left all singers speechless with surprise.

Although they had roughly guessed that Chen Mo's album would definitely be a hit, they didn't expect it to be a hit to this extent!

However, this wasn't the end!

The second day.

National daily album sales directly reached 1.5 million copies!

The third day.

National daily album sales reached 1.7 million copies!

Chen Mo's songs were playing everywhere on the streets and alleys!

Among them, "Fairy Tale," "Lanting Preface," "Hair Like Snow," and "The Wind Has Risen" were particularly popular!

Even barbershops that liked upbeat electronic music had switched to these songs.

Some radio stations were even being bombarded with song requests from listeners twenty-four hours a day.

The entire Chinese music circle had gone crazy!

This one album completely solidified Chen Mo's status in the music circle!

At the company.

Zhou Jielun, who was originally going to release his album in June, was now a bit bewildered.

There was no way around it.

Chen Mo's album was so popular that, let alone four months, it would probably be hard for the craze to die down even in eight months. Should he still release his album?

Zhou Jielun was feeling conflicted.

It wasn't just Zhou Jielun; signed singers from other music companies were also adjusting their plans one after another!

There was really no choice; Chen Mo's album was just too insane.

If it were a few years later, when major music charts appeared, the ten songs on Chen Mo's album would probably occupy the top ten directly!

Time passed day by day.

Chen Mo's album remained incredibly popular!

In just seven days, album sales had already exceeded ten million!

Such high sales were actually related to the fans.

Every fan had bought several copies of the album!

It was as if they had discussed it together, wanting to let this "Starry Sky" by Chen Mo create history!

To create a god of the music world!

An emperor!

Ten days.

Album sales exceeded 15 million copies!

At the same time, someone exposed the crazy actions of Chen Mo's fans, including one wealthy young woman who bought an entire warehouse of albums and gave them away for free.

Not for anything else!

Just to support Chen Mo!

Chen Mo's fans had gone crazy!

Japan, South Korea, and other countries reported on what was happening in China.

Among them, the most dramatic was Japan, with the headline: "Chinese Music World! Chen Mo! The Emperor Ascends the Throne!"

It directly compared Chen Mo to an emperor-like existence in the Chinese music scene!

When Chen Mo learned of this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry!

However, he let it pass with a laugh; Chen Mo didn't take the Japanese headline seriously.

At this moment, he was busy adapting the Transformers script!

Chen Mo remembered the plot of Transformers from his past life clearly, but if he wanted to film this movie domestically, it definitely needed changes.

First were the cars in it.

Additionally, the scenes of battles with the military also needed to be changed.

Just like that, two days passed quickly.

Chen Mo handed the revised script to Chen Fu.

"I've had the script revised, and the production costs have also been calculated; it's about 200 million US dollars."

Chen Mo said, placing the script in Chen Fu's hands.

"200 million?"

Chen Fu's eyes widened instantly.

One had to know that when Cameron filmed "Titanic," it only cost a little over 100 million.

"Mm, yeah, it's mainly because the special effects are expensive."

Chen Mo nodded.

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Chen Fu frowned and pondered.

Watching Chen Fu ponder, Chen Mo didn't speak either.

However, at this moment, the long-lost system voice suddenly sounded in Chen Mo's mind...

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking the Chinese album sales record, unlocking the Record Holder Platinum achievement, and rewarding one intermediate lottery chance.]

Hearing the system's voice, Chen Mo was instantly delighted.

Intermediate lottery!

He didn't expect to get an intermediate lottery chance!

"Start the lottery."

Chen Mo thought to himself.

[Ding! Lottery successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining Top-tier Directing Ability.]

Chen Mo's eyes widened instantly.

He didn't expect to actually obtain Top-tier Directing Ability!

"Hey, you brat, what are you making faces at me for?"

Chen Fu, sitting opposite, didn't know Chen Mo was drawing a lottery. Seeing Chen Mo laughing and then widening his eyes, he couldn't help but scold him.

"It's nothing, it's nothing..."

Chen Mo shook his head.

"Alright, Dad, you decide for yourself. If we're going to film domestically, we need to confirm whether we can cooperate with the military. Once that's confirmed, we'll make a decision."

After saying this, Chen Mo turned and left directly.

Watching Chen Mo leave, Chen Fu lowered his head, his gaze falling back onto the script in his hands.

He walked back to his desk, sat down, and then began to read the script seriously.

Time passed bit by bit.

An employee's voice sounded outside the door.

;

"Chairman Chen, the Chinese film development conference at the Film Bureau is about to start."

"Oh, I know."

Chen Fu put down the script, then stood up and walked out of the office.

An hour later.

In the conference room of the Film Bureau.

The directors and company representatives who attended last year were all sitting at the conference table.

The leader of the Film Bureau at the front had a cold expression.

"Last year! Four North American movies! They completely smashed our box office!"

"Everyone here is a person of status, and I don't want to say much! I just want to say that everyone should take care of themselves! If you continue to be impacted by North American films, will you have a future or a market?"

"Everyone, think carefully about this question."

The leader said in a cold voice.

Everyone below kept their heads down, not speaking.

Seeing everyone's appearance, the leader felt truly annoyed and waved his hand directly: "Alright, that's it for this year's conference. Everyone, take care of yourselves. Meeting adjourned!"

Hearing the leader's words, everyone stood up one after another and walked outside.

Chen Fu stood up and followed them out of the office.

However, when he reached the door, he turned back.

"Leader, our Momo Company is preparing to film a movie."

Chen Fu said.

"Oh? That's good. I believe in the strength of your Momo Company; after all, your Harry Potter series is very popular."

The coldness on the leader's face faded a bit, and he said with a smile.

Chen Fu nodded with a smile and said: "Haha, it's alright. It's just that the investment for this movie is very large, and we need the support of the military."

"Mm? Support from the military?"

The leader was stunned for a moment.

Then he thought of something and asked: "Very large investment? How large?"

Chen Fu said: "1.6 billion RMB."

"How much?"

The leader's eyes widened instantly.

Chen Fu pulled over a chair from the side and sat down: "Leader, the movie we are preparing can be called epoch-making!"

Chen Fu began to roughly describe the content of Transformers.

In short, he described it as impressively and awesomely as possible.

The leader sat there, stunned, listening to Chen Fu's words.

After a long time.

He finally reacted and asked with a strange expression: "Is what you said true?"

Chen Fu said: "Mm, we are a Chinese company. Seeing that the Chinese film industry is in a low period, we are actually trying to make a gamble to see if we can bring Chinese cinema up."

"Of course, even if we fail, our Momo Company will have accumulated experience for the brothers who follow!"

Hearing Chen Fu's words, the leader nodded with a sigh: "Alright, I know about this matter. You go back first; I will be responsible for contacting the military. As soon as there is news, I will call you."

"Okay, thank you, leader. Then I'll head back first."

Chen Fu stood up with a smile and left.

At the same time, on the other side, Chen Mo received someone who surprised him a little.

"Haha, Chen Mo, sorry, I didn't send a message and just came to find you directly."

Outside the door, Cheng Long said to Chen Mo with a smile.

"Welcome, welcome, come in and sit."

Chen Mo said with a smile.

Then Chen Mo led Cheng Long to the sofa to sit down. After sitting down, the two exchanged pleasantries, and then Cheng Long stated the purpose of his visit.

"Chen Mo, actually, I came to invite you to act in a movie."

As he spoke, Cheng Long took a script out of the bag he was carrying and handed it to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo took the script and looked at it, and then his expression became a bit strange.

The name of the script was "New Police Story."

Everyone was very familiar with this name.

It was the movie that Wu Yanzu, Xie Tingfeng, and Cheng Long filmed together!

"Guan Zu, give it up, the outside is full of Chen Guorong."

The classic modified line.

Made Chen Mo unable to help but want to laugh.

And opposite him, Cheng Long was looking at Chen Mo with anticipation.

After a moment.

Chen Mo returned the script in his hand to Cheng Long.

"Brother Long, this script is great, but who do you want me to play?"

Chen Mo asked.

Cheng Long said: "Play Guan Zu in it."

Chen Mo shook his head after hearing this and apologized: "Sorry, Brother Long, actually I really want to participate in this film, but my schedule for this year is full."

"Don't worry, it only takes two months."

Cheng Long said hurriedly after hearing Chen Mo's words.

Chen Mo pondered for a moment and then asked: "Brother Long, is this film still lacking investment?"

Cheng Long, upon hearing this, subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but having been in the entertainment industry for many years, he instantly understood Chen Mo's meaning and said directly: "Yes! The investment for this movie is 120 million Hong Kong dollars, and it's still short 30 million."

"Okay, Brother Long, then happy cooperation."

Chen Mo reached out his hand with a smile.

Cheng Long also laughed.

Actually, with Chen Mo's current status, he didn't just act in any movie!

For an investment of only 120 million Hong Kong dollars, unless Chen Mo had a particularly good relationship with the other party, he might not choose to participate without hesitation.

But he and Cheng Long had only met a few times.

So if Chen Mo wanted to participate, he had to bring investment into the production or directly enjoy a share of the profits!

Just like Cheng Long now!

For all the movies he starred in, he basically had to have a share of the profits!

In the time that followed, the two discussed the script for a while. Because Chen Mo had obtained Top-tier Directing Ability, he also offered many good suggestions regarding the script.

And after hearing Chen Mo's suggestions, Cheng Long also felt that changing the plot according to Chen Mo's suggestions was indeed better than the previous script.

So he listened seriously.

Soon, more than an hour passed, and finally, Cheng Long left with a smile on his face.

After Cheng Long left, Chen Mo called Chris Columbus to ask about the release of Harry Potter 4. After confirming the release date and the location of the premiere, Chen Mo called Liu Yifei.

The call connected after more than ten seconds.

"Hello..."

Liu Yifei's soft voice rang out.

"I'm going to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow to attend the premiere of Harry Potter 4. You should prepare; shall I come to pick you up the morning after tomorrow?"

Chen Mo asked.

"Mm, okay."

Liu Yifei gave a soft hum, then fell silent again.

Chen Mo frowned slightly. He sensed that something was wrong with Liu Yifei and asked: "Are you sick?"

"No..."

"Were you bullied? Did Auntie Liu spank you?"

"You're the one who got spanked by my mom!"

Liu Yifei couldn't help but retort.

"Haha, just kidding. Alright, I'm hanging up now."

After saying this, Chen Mo hung up the phone.

Then Chen Mo thought for a moment and called Yang Mi to tell her that he was going to Los Angeles for a while.

This trip to Los Angeles was not only to attend the premiere but also to record the album he was releasing in North America.

Two days later.

Chen Mo and Liu Yifei took a plane to Los Angeles.

Accompanying them were Liu Mu and the bodyguard Zhou Baoguo.

Mentioning Zhou Baoguo, he was now over fifty years old. In fact, as a bodyguard, his age was on the older side, but having been Chen Mo's bodyguard for ten years, Chen Mo treated Zhou Baoguo like family. When there was nothing to do, Chen Mo would let Zhou Baoguo go home to accompany his family, not to mention his salary and other benefits.

The plane took off.
