Chapter 162
The day before yesterday, *House of Flying Daggers* was also pulled from theaters, with a total box office of 27. million.
It had an investment of over 40 million, but the box office was only over 20 million, and this 20-plus million still had to be split...
It could simply be said that he had lost so much it was embarrassing.
Although the box office was very low, the reputation and ratings of *House of Flying Daggers* were very high!
It could be said to be a work that was critically acclaimed but not commercially successful!
In the end, it was his own choice; Old Mouzi couldn't blame anyone else.
"Sigh..."
Old Mouzi shook his head and sighed.
Soon, another half a month passed.
The overseas release plan for *Transformers* began!
At the same time, the first concert of Zhou Jie's Asian tour also began.
His first concert was in Jingcheng, and the second was in Gao Li.
Since Chen Mo and Chen Fu were planning to go to Gao Li recently, Chen Mo intended to be a guest at Zhou Jie's second concert and, while he was at it, take Chen Fu to visit the trainees in Gao Li.
On the other side.
In Los Angeles, North America, the post-production of *Harry Potter 5* had also been completed, and the release date was set for Christmas.
So Chen Mo would have to go to North America during Christmas.
In November.
Chen Mo, Chen Fu, Chen Mu, Wang Jinghua, and a group of others headed to Gao Li.
After arriving in Gao Li, everyone went to the hotel to stay, while Wang Jinghua, who had followed, began contacting some companies in Gao Li.
After resting at the hotel for two days, Wang Jinghua brought news that she had made contact with Gao Li's MS Company, and tomorrow, Chen Mo's group would go to MS Company for a visit.
The next day...
Chen Mo, Wang Jinghua, Chen Fu, and Chen Mo's little assistant Xu Xiaofeng took a car together to the MS Company headquarters.
Chen Mu stayed at the hotel to rest.
At the same time, at MS Company, the company's trainees had already learned the news that Chen Mo was coming to visit, and for a time, all the trainees in the company became excited.
In a certain practice room...
A few little ones were gathered together.
"Wow! Momo Oppa is coming!"
"So what if he's coming... pfft..."
A little girl with a sweet appearance and the best temperament said with some disdain.
Hearing this little girl's words, one of the girls frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.
But a short girl next to her stood up and said: "What do you know! Momo Oppa is our idol! Aren't you excited to see your idol?"
"Pfft, an idol, what's there to be excited about? We're going to be idols ourselves anyway."
The pretty girl said.
Hearing her words, several people who hadn't spoken began to look forward to it.
Half an hour later.
A business car arrived downstairs at MS Company.
President Li of MS Company personally led people to stand at the entrance.
When the car door opened and Chen Fu, Chen Mo, and the others got out, President Li walked over with a smile.
"Haha, Chairman Chen, welcome, welcome..."
President Li smiled and extended his hand.
The interpreter next to him translated the words.
After hearing this, Chen Fu also smiled and extended his hand: "Sorry to bother you this time."
"I've long wanted to make friends with Chairman Chen. Come, please, come in."
Saying this, President Li invited everyone inside.
Chen Mo followed behind the group, with Wang Jinghua and his little assistant beside him.
Thinking of something, Chen Mo leaned toward Wang Jinghua and whispered: "Sister Wang, take a good look later to see if there's anyone with good potential."
Hearing Chen Mo's words, Wang Jinghua was momentarily stunned, then looked at Chen Mo with some surprise, thinking of something.
Her eyes seemed to be saying...
You little brat, you're really bad!
Chen Mo whispered with a smile: "Training them ourselves takes at least a few years; it's better to just poach them. Anyway, we're not short of money. If we can poach some good ones and take them back, it's all profit."
The little assistant next to him opened her eyes wide, looking at Chen Mo in surprise.
She didn't expect that her beloved idol would be such a person...
But the way he smiled wickedly was so handsome, even more handsome!
The little assistant's pretty face blushed for no reason, and as if afraid of being discovered, she hurriedly turned her head away.
After hearing Chen Mo's words, Wang Jinghua also whispered: "You brat, you're bad enough."
Chen Mo said: "People are stupid and have too much money; having money is just being willful."
Wang Jinghua: "You brat, you're not stupid. Actually, I had this intention too, but I didn't have time to say it. However, my judgment of people isn't very accurate; if I misjudge, don't blame me."
Wang Jinghua's judgment of people isn't accurate?
Chen Mo felt it was funny.
"Don't worry, Sister Wang. You're also a shareholder in our Momo Company; I trust your eye."
Wang Jinghua rolled her eyes at Chen Mo and stopped talking.
Soon, everyone arrived at the elevator.
They took the elevator straight to the fourth floor, the artist training floor.
After arriving on the floor, President Li first arranged for Chen Mo and Chen Fu to sit down, then said something in a flurry to a bespectacled man next to him.
The bespectacled man nodded and turned to leave.
Soon, dozens of boys and girls came out of various rooms.
These boys and girls were all handsome and beautiful, especially some of the girls; although they weren't old, their long legs were already on display.
Among these people...
Several girls were secretly looking at Chen Mo, who was sitting by the sofa in front.
Looking at that perfectly handsome face, their eyes shone, and they excitedly clenched their little hands.
"Ah... Xiba, you pinched my waist!"
"Ah, sorry, sorry..."
"Chairman Chen, these are the trainees we are currently training. The longest training duration among them is already four and a half years."
President Li said with a smile.
Hearing President Li's words, Chen Mo couldn't help but want to make a snarky comment: Can they play basketball?
Chen Mo controlled his urge to make a snarky comment and instead scanned the trainees.
Soon, he saw a few little heads in the back looking at him...
Those eyes were filled with curiosity, the worship of an idol by a fan, and a naive blankness.
Chen Mo smiled at those little ones.
It immediately caused a low exclamation.
"Haha, Director Chen's charm is truly extraordinary."
President Li saw that Chen Mo's smile had caused a small commotion and said with a smile.
"Haha, President Li, just call me by my name."
Chen Mo smiled.
Little assistant Xu Xiaofeng said nervously.
Then, those trainees dispersed one after another and began to walk to the center position one by one to perform.
The performances were nothing more than dancing and singing. I don't know if it was a coincidence, but many of the trainees who performed singing were singing Chen Mo's songs.
