Chapter 139

Filming continues.

In the following time, Chen Mo spends his time in such filming.

Unlike filming "Titanic" before, this play is funded by Chen Fu, and every retake is a waste of money.

This makes Chen Mo feel a bit pained.

But there is no way, just take it slow.

Half a month later, the progress of filming is slightly accelerated, and some actors have gained some experience.

Additionally, the scenes here have been filmed, and the film crew needs to go to another filming location to continue shooting.

On the way to the next filming location.

Chen Mo sits in the car, and Emma Watson leans over.

"Chen Mo, I heard Grandpa Dumbledore say that the most important thing in acting is to get into character. What does it mean to get into character?"

Emma Watson asks puzzledly.

The Grandpa Dumbledore she refers to is Richard Harris, the actor who plays Dumbledore in this play.

"Hmm, simply put, getting into character is integrating your emotions into the character you are playing. To put it more magically, it means you are Hermione, and I am Harry. In your eyes, you and I are first-year students with magic, while they are Muggles."

Chen Mo says, pointing to the pedestrians walking on the street outside the window.

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Emma Watson bites her lip, a thoughtful look on her face.

And Chen Mo, looking at Emma Watson's appearance, ponders in his heart.

A few seconds later, Chen Mo says: "By the way, have any companies been looking to sign you recently?"

Emma Watson is stunned for a moment, then nods and says: "Hmm, yes."

Ever since the media learned that she is the actor playing Hermione in Harry Potter, some talent agencies have found her and her mother, hoping to sign her.

"Then do you want to come to my family's company? My dad is planning to make this film into a series."

Chen Mo says.

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Emma Watson nods hurriedly: "Okay, okay."

She is young now and doesn't really understand what signing with a company represents. As for why she is so excited, it is entirely because she can join Chen Mo's company.

"Okay, then I'll contact my dad later and let my dad talk to your mother."

Chen Mo smiles.

In his previous life, Emma Watson became a world-famous young Hollywood actor relying on the Harry Potter film series.

Subsequently, she established her position in Hollywood relying on "Beauty and the Beast."

Signing Emma Watson now can also be considered a kind of investment.

"Hmm, okay."

Emma Watson nods excitedly.

Half a day later.

The film crew arrives at the second filming location, and filming continues.

Time passes bit by bit.

In the following time, Chen Mo has been busy with the Harry Potter film crew.

Additionally, he takes time to tell Chen Fu about signing Emma Watson, and Chen Fu directly contacts Emma's mother and negotiates with her.

Finally, Chen Fu signs Emma Watson for 10 million dollars.

The contract is for ten years!

The breach of contract penalty is 100 million dollars.

After the signing is successful, Chen Mo treats Emma Watson even more kindly.

In his spare time, he teaches her some small tips about acting.

After all, she is an actor in his own company, so if she improves, the company can also make more money.

Soon, time reaches November.

Christmas is coming soon.

During Christmas, the film crew specifically gives three days off.

During the break, Chen Mo returns to Los Angeles.

Arriving home, Chen Fu, Mother Chen, and the Liu Yifei mother-daughter pair are sitting at the dining table eating.

Seeing Chen Mo return, they are all delighted.

"Why didn't you say anything before coming back? Hurry up and wash your hands to eat."

Mother Chen hurriedly stands up and says with a smile.

"Hmm, okay."

Chen Mo agrees with a smile, then walks toward the bathroom.

After washing his hands and returning, Chen Mo sits down at the dining table, then winks at Liu Yifei, who is sitting opposite him.

Liu Yifei has a smile on her face, but she hums softly.

She looks like a little spoiled brat.

Seeing Liu Yifei's appearance, Chen Mo cannot help but smile.

When did this girl become so spoiled?

Finding it funny in his heart, Chen Mo starts burying his head in his rice.

After finishing the meal, everyone sits on the sofa and starts chatting.

However, at this moment, Chen Fu's phone suddenly rings.

Chen Fu takes out his phone and answers the call. After hearing what the person on the other end says, he frowns immediately.

"Okay, I know, I'll go over and take a look tomorrow."

Saying this, he hangs up the phone.

Mother Chen, seeing Chen Fu's expression, asks puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

Chen Fu sighs and says: "Old Jack jumped off a building."

"What?"

Mother Chen's face changes immediately.

Old Jack was a business friend Chen Fu met after coming to Los Angeles. Both of them did internet business, but Chen Fu's was bigger, while Old Jack's was smaller, and his net worth was only a few million.

Last year and the first half of this year, the internet was expanding, but Chen Fu sold his shares at this time, which even made Old Jack mock him.

But no one expected that starting from October this year, this bubble that had expanded to the maximum would burst!

The internet economic bubble burst.

Old Jack went from a net worth of several million to nothing. Not only was his house repossessed by the bank, but he now also owed a lot of money.

Just today, on Christmas Day, he jumped off a building and committed suicide!

"Sigh, this internet thing is too scary, it's like the face-changing in Sichuan opera, it changes as soon as it says it will."

Mother Chen says in a complex tone.

After saying this, a look of relief appears on her face again.

And Chen Fu also nods.

If he hadn't listened to Chen Mo, maybe he would have been Old Jack.

"This time, thanks to our son, otherwise it would have been over."

Chen Fu says.

Mother Chen nods in agreement: "Yes."

Mother Liu, sitting on the side, hears the conversation between the couple and can roughly understand what they mean.

She looks at Chen Mo, who is playing and joking with her daughter, with a complex look in her eyes.

It turns out it was this magical young man who made Chen Fu sell his shares, thus avoiding a disaster.

The next day.

Chen Fu leaves the villa and goes to Old Jack's home.

Chen Mo stays at home to rest.

After resting for two days, Chen Mo leaves home again and goes to the "Harry Potter" film crew.

After arriving, he starts filming.

Time passes bit by bit.

In the following time, the internet economic bubble bursts, and every day the news and newspapers report which company has gone bankrupt and which founder has jumped off a building.
