As for MV filming, the female lead was also Avril; after all, she was a signed singer of the company, and letting her be the lead in the MV could also gain her some attention.

From filming the MV to recording the remaining few songs, it took another half a month in total.

In May, the album was finally completed.

The album was titled *Brilliant*, and the release date was set for June 1st, the same day as *Harry Potter*'s release.

And after the production was completed, Father Chen started having the Momo Company promote the album!

The Momo Company had been established for a year and a half, and with Father Chen's support, which wasn't short of money, although the company only had three artists, other aspects were very complete.

From the promotion department to the production department, it even had its own record distribution channels!

Additionally, the cinema chain was also under construction, expected to be completed around next year.

While the Momo Company was busy promoting the June movie and album release, on the other side, Paramount Pictures, one of the major giants in Hollywood, was also promoting their new movie, *Tomb Raider*.

This movie came with its own game popularity, and the lead actress in the movie was the currently popular Hollywood star Angelina Jolie, so when they started promoting, they attracted many audience members, and the attention they gained even exceeded that of the Momo Company's *Harry Potter*.

The most coincidental thing was that the release dates for both movies were on the same day.

Simultaneous promotion and same-day release made the two movies somewhat tense.

Most importantly, the investment for both movies wasn't low!

The production investment for *Tomb Raider* exceeded 80 million USD, and *Harry Potter 2* was as high as 140 million USD.

Just like that...

Soon, it was June.

On this day, both movies held their premieres simultaneously.

At the premiere ceremony that day, Chen Mo arrived at the venue dressed up, chatted with the guests who came to attend the ceremony for a while, and seeing that the time was about right, everyone entered the cinema.

Soon arriving in the screening hall and sitting down, the invited film critics and some lucky audience members also lined up and walked in.

After everyone sat down, the premiere officially began!

The familiar Momo Company icon appeared, followed by the start of the movie.

*Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets* told the story of Harry Potter returning to school after the summer vacation, but strange things happened where students were petrified one after another.

Because the first part's huge popularity made the sales of the *Harry Potter* novel explode, most of the audience coming to watch the movie had read the novel.

So, watching the plot play out in the movie, they had a sense of familiarity!

When some familiar plots appeared, the audience would show knowing smiles.

And on the other side.

At the *Tomb Raider* premiere, the audience was also watching the screening of *Tomb Raider*.

When Lara, with her enchanting figure, protruding front and back, and 34D, appeared on the screen, some male audience members instantly got hyped!

Sitting in the front row, Angelina Jolie, who played Lara, listened to the whispers of the audience and film critics behind her, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly, her face revealing a hint of disdain.

Hmph... men!

Both movies continued to play.

Soon, two hours passed.

Both movies ended.

Clap, clap.

Applause rang out.

The audience stood up, still wanting more.

The next day.

Entertainment news was all about these two movies. Because of technological development, the internet was becoming more and more developed, and many media outlets had already published news on the internet.

"*Tomb Raider* Review: A Combination of Aesthetics, Adventure and Fighting Both Taken Care Of!"

"*Harry Potter* Review: The Golden Trio Encounters Crisis Again, Rescue at the Last Moment!"

"*Harry Potter* is the best adapted movie I have seen since I started in this industry. Whether it's respect for the original plot or the special effects production, it is creating a brand-new and reasonable magical worldview for the audience. Additionally, one point to mention is that Chen Mo's performance is still great; he is still as handsome as ever!"

"Angelina Jolie, the actress who plays Lara, shows perfect action ability in the play. In my opinion, her figure and appearance are the most suitable for the role of Lara. Most importantly, the adaptation of the plot makes the fighting not feel too stimulating or excessive."

The reviews for both sides were basically positive; it was temporarily impossible to tell who was better or worse.

Another day passed.

Another day passed.
