Chapter 137

Regarding Cheng Long's look, Chen Mo just smiled.

He had Top-tier Directing Ability, after all, he was already 17 years old.

In the future, there were many who became directors at 17 or 18!

It wasn't strange for him to direct a film, of course, it was just that the investment for this film was a bit large.

"Is what you said true?"

Cheng Long looked at Chen Mo in disbelief.

Chen Mo nodded seriously.

Seeing Chen Mo nod, Cheng Long frowned and said: "What is the real production cost of this movie?"

Chen Mo said: "200 million."

"It really is 200 million! Are you crazy?"

Cheng Long said in surprise.

Chen Mo's face darkened; you're the one who's crazy.

"Anyway, my family has plenty of money; if I lose it, I'll just consider it practice."

Chen Mo couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Cheng Long and spoke directly.

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Cheng Long opened his mouth, then finally sighed helplessly.

That's right!

His family is rich anyway; if he loses money, so be it.

Time passed bit by bit.

In the time that followed, Chen Mo continued filming for "New Police Story."

During the filming, Xie Tingfeng's girlfriend, Zhang Baizhi, would also come to visit the set when she was free.

At first, Zhang Baizhi was worried that Chen Mo might have told Xie Tingfeng about what happened before, but seeing that Xie Tingfeng was unaware, she felt relieved.

Soon, it was June.

"New Police Story" wrapped up. After attending the wrap-up banquet, Chen Mo left the crew and returned to the mainland.

The day after Chen Mo returned to the mainland, Momei Company released Zhou Jielun's second album!

Zhou Jielun's second album was titled "Eight Dimensions of Space." It contained many works that people would hear in later generations, including "Dragon Fist," "Half-Beast Man," and others.

This album continued the style of the previous two, still focusing on extremely fast-paced delivery and rap.

Once the album was released, it achieved impressive sales figures!

On the first day, album sales in the mainland reached 210,000 copies.

Although it was far behind Chen Mo's "Starry Sky," it was still considered top-tier compared to others.

In the following days, sales of Zhou Jielun's album continued to soar.

To further boost album sales, Chen Fu arranged some variety shows and commercial performances for Zhou Jielun.

Besides Zhou Jielun's album, the film and television department of Momei Company was also busy during this time arranging for their signed artists, finding them resources and scripts.

Among them, Dong Jie had previously made a name for herself with "The Noble Family," and after joining Momei Company, the company arranged auditions for a movie and a TV series for her.

The TV series was titled "Flying Daggers," and Dong Jie passed the audition to become the female lead.

She also passed the audition for the movie.

It could be said that by joining Momei Company, Dong Jie obtained the resources she wanted.

Liu Yifei was recently sent by Momei Company to audition for a TV series called "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," which she passed, and filming was set to begin soon.

Mei Yanfang was busy with her concert tour and had no plans to release an album for the time being.

As for the Western stars, Johnny at the North American branch of Momei Company also provided them with some resources.

Mid-June.

Momei Company issued audition invitations to some domestic actors.

Some of the actors who received the invitations were immediately thrilled!

Although the outside world was not very optimistic about this big production from Momei Company, with some even showing disdain and some actors acting dismissive, deep down, they all wanted to participate.

Inside Chen Fu's office at Momei Company.

Chen Mo was sitting opposite Chen Fu, who was looking at him with a strange expression.

"What did you just say?"

"I said the director is me; I am going to direct this movie."

"Son, have you become arrogant? Or do you have a fever?"

Chen Fu said, raising his hand to feel Chen Mo's forehead.

Chen Mo's face darkened instantly. He dodged Chen Fu's hand and then chuckled, "Dad, I'm serious. I am a student majoring in directing, after all."

"What nonsense are you spouting? A directing student? Have you attended a single class? Do you even know which way the school gate faces?"

"Northeast."

Chen Mo blurted out.

Chen Fu slapped the table and said, "Northeast! The school gate was rebuilt last year; it faces due east now!"

Chen Mo: "..."

"Son, even though our family is rich—not to mention anything else, we still have billions of dollars—we can't spend money like this. It's a 200 million investment, and with promotion, that will cost at least another ten million dollars or so. This money shouldn't be squandered."

Chen Fu said earnestly.

Chen Mo didn't want to talk to Chen Fu anymore.

He picked up his phone and called Chen Mu.

"Mom, I was just in the parking lot downstairs at the company and saw Dad buying another..."

Snap...

Before he could finish, Chen Fu snatched the phone and hung up.

"It's you! Momei, I believe in you; you must be the director of this movie!"

Chen Fu then pointed at Chen Mo and said seriously.

Chen Mo chuckled, "Thanks, Dad."

Chen Fu also smiled brightly and said, "So, about my car?"

"That car only costs about a hundred thousand, right?"

Chen Mo blinked.

Chen Fu nodded hurriedly.

Father and son reached an agreement.

Then, Chen Mo asked about the situation at the communications company.

With Chen Fu's capital injection, the communications side was completely left to run itself, and Chen Mo rarely paid attention to it now.

"We still have the same shares. The internet economy is better than last year, and the communications side has turned from loss to profit. A while ago, Xiao Ma called me and said the number of registered users for the communication software has exceeded 100 million."

Chen Fu gave a rough overview of the situation.

Chen Mo nodded after hearing this.

Subsequently, Chen Mo asked about the vehicle issues for the "Transformers" movie.

"The prototype vehicle for Optimus Prime is tentatively set as the FAW Jiefang heavy truck, and the prototype for Megatron is currently tentatively set as our domestic J-7 fighter jet."

Speaking of this, Chen Fu remembered something, took a form out of the drawer next to him, handed it to Chen Mo, and said, "Anyway, it's all here; take a look yourself."

Chen Mo took the form and began to read.

The form listed the prototypes for the Transformers' cars, fighter jets, and tanks in the script.

Chen Mo didn't think there was much of a problem with the fighter jets and tanks; in fact, once the domestic military agreed to participate, Chen Mo stopped worrying!

You have to know that the rabbits are the type to make a fortune in silence.

Although it was 2003, their combat capability was actually already very strong.

It was just that much hadn't been revealed yet; if they just revealed a little bit, it would surprise every country.

What Chen Mo was more worried about was the sports car like Bumblebee.

There were no domestic sports cars at this time!

No...

It seemed there was one!

The Geely Beauty Leopard!

Thinking of this car in his mind, Chen Mo immediately shook his head.

Forget it.

Better to stick to the original version; after all, when Paramount Pictures started filming "Transformers" in his past life, they didn't use all American cars either.

Look for them domestically first; if they can't be found, use foreign ones!

After making the decision in his heart, Chen Mo stuffed the form into his pocket, said goodbye to Chen Fu, and left the company.

Three days later.

Momei Company began the second announcement for the "Transformers" project.

They announced the list of directors for the film as well as the post-production crew and other staff members.

In addition, they also released the preliminary prototype image of Optimus Prime from Transformers.

Upon seeing the image of Optimus Prime, the netizens and major companies who had been following the project were instantly shocked!

You have to know that in his past life, the "Transformers" movie was released in 2007.

Chen Mo had moved the movie forward by four years!

Showing things from the future to people of the past—one can imagine how shocked everyone was!

Robots!
