Chapter 184

Chen Mo smiled after hearing this and asked, "What film?"

"*Crank*, an action movie."

Having said that, Cameron paused and added, "Well, actually, it's a film written and directed by the son of a friend of mine. He hopes you can play the lead, so his father asked me to contact you. I'm just passing on the message; whether you want to participate is up to you. Don't worry about my opinion."

*Crank*?

Chen Mo frowned and pondered.

A few seconds later, Chen Mo recalled the film!

So it was Jackson's film!

"How about this: I'm at 【XX Hotel】. Have your friend's son bring the script over. I'd like to look at the script first."

"Good."

Cameron said.

Then, after a brief chat, the two hung up.

Throwing the phone aside, Chen Mo climbed back on top.

An hour later, Chen Mo and Anne Hathaway, dressed neatly, arrived at the hotel's second-floor restaurant and met the son of Cameron's friend.

"Hello, Chen Mo. You can call me Martin."

Martin hurriedly extended his hand and said politely.

"Hello, Director Martin. Please, sit."

Chen Mo smiled and invited Martin to sit down.

Once Martin sat down, he hurriedly took the script out of his bag and handed it to Chen Mo.

"This is the script I wrote."

Chen Mo took the script, opened it, and began to read.

Opposite him, Martin watched Chen Mo reading the script, then glanced at Anne Hathaway sitting next to him.

Martin didn't find it strange that Anne Hathaway was by Chen Mo's side.

After all, that's how Hollywood was; the vast majority of actors had rich and exciting private lives, and for an A-list star like Chen Mo, it went without saying.

Five minutes later.

Chen Mo closed the script and frowned in thought.

The film *Crank* wasn't exactly a masterpiece, and in the future, it didn't achieve high box office or honors, but Chen Mo was still hesitating whether to participate.

As for why he was considering it, it was mainly because this film was one of the few Hollywood action movies that really got the adrenaline pumping.

Whether it was the fighting that ran through the entire film or the urgent plot, it made fans of this genre cheer with excitement.

In fact, Chen Mo had always wanted to try filming some action movies, and he could use this film as a test to see if he was truly suited for it.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo smiled at the slightly nervous Martin opposite him: "It's a very good script, Director Martin. Can I invest in this film?"

"Of course, of course you can!"

Martin hurriedly nodded.

"Good. Then you can contact my agent later, and she will discuss the specific cooperation details with you."

As Chen Mo spoke, he asked Martin for a pen and wrote down Wang Jinghua's phone number.

After all, Sister Wang was his agent, and it was time to find her something to do.

"Okay, Mr. Chen Mo."

Martin hurriedly nodded.

"By the way, I'd like to offer a few suggestions regarding the script, for example, here..."

Then Chen Mo pointed out the parts of the script he felt were problematic.

After all, Chen Mo was also a top-tier director; he could tell at a glance whether a script was good or bad and where the problems were.

Opposite him, Martin listened to Chen Mo's explanation. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but after hearing a few points, he immediately began to take it seriously.

Half an hour later.

Martin left the hotel happily with the script.

After Martin left, Chen Mo and Anne Hathaway also left the restaurant and returned to the room upstairs.

However, Chen Mo didn't notice a reporter in the corner capturing the scene.

The next day.

Hollywood entertainment newspapers reported on Chen Mo's gossip.

"Chen Mo and Anne Hathaway's Romance Exposed? A May-December Romance!"

"Chen Mo Stays in the Same Hotel as Popular Actress; the Kid from Back Then Has Grown Up!"

"How Charming is Anne Hathaway?"

As soon as these reports appeared, Chen Mo's fans in North America became furious.

In the eyes of all fans, their idol was perfect, so they instinctively felt that Anne Hathaway had seduced their idol!

For a time, Anne Hathaway's fame skyrocketed; although it was all negative press, it still made her very popular!

Regarding these reports online, Chen Mo immediately called Liu Yifei and Yang Mi to explain.

The reason given was that they were discussing a script and weren't staying at the same hotel.

Hearing Chen Mo's reason, although Yang Mi and Liu Yifei believed him, they were still angry enough to hang up the phone directly.

Soon, a week passed.

Having stayed in North America for a week, Chen Mo took his assistant and flew back to the country.

After getting off the plane, Chen Mo got into the car that had come to pick him up.

Upon entering the car, Chen Mo was stunned, because Wang Jinghua was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Hey, Sister Wang, you came to pick me up yourself?"

Chen Mo said with a smile.

Wang Jinghua rolled her eyes at Chen Mo and then took out a newspaper and handed it to him.

Chen Mo took the newspaper and glanced at it.

The report in the newspaper was exactly about him being with Anne Hathaway in Hollywood a few days ago.

"This matter has spread to the country, and I'm currently handling the PR."

Seeing Chen Mo looking at the report, Wang Jinghua spoke up.

Chen Mo smiled after hearing this: "Thank you, Sister Wang."

"Momo, be more careful next time. Too many scandals will have a big impact on your future."

Wang Jinghua said.

Chen Mo smiled and said, "Sister Wang, I know about this, but I think sometimes it's not a good thing for a person to have too perfect an image in the outside world. After all, no one is perfect. When you appear too perfect, as long as you make a small mistake in the future, or do something slightly wrong, that mistake will be infinitely magnified."

Chen Mo's cheeky words left Wang Jinghua stunned for a moment.

She felt that what Chen Mo said made sense, but she also felt something was off.

Looking at the slightly dazed Wang Jinghua, Chen Mo smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, Sister Wang, has a director named Martin contacted you recently?"

Hearing Chen Mo mention this, Wang Jinghua said seriously, "He has. We've reached a preliminary agreement. We'll invest 5 million USD, and they are currently preparing the crew. It's expected to take about a month. If you have time then, you can go over; if not, we'll film other people's scenes first."

Having said that, Wang Jinghua thought of something else and added, "By the way, there's one more thing. Director Chen Kai's film *The Promise* has wrapped up. That film is a big production, and our *Crazy Stone* will also wrap up in about a month. The two films might very well clash."

"It's fine, let them clash."

Chen Mo smiled.

If *Crazy Stone* were clashing with last year's *House of Flying Daggers*, Chen Mo might be worried, but if it were clashing with *The Promise*, Chen Mo wasn't afraid at all.

After all, Director Chen Kai once said: No one will understand *The Promise* within five years...

So, truly, no one understood it at this time, and the box office naturally went without saying.

"Whatever you say."

Seeing Chen Mo's indifferent attitude, Wang Jinghua didn't say anything more.

The two chatted.

Soon, the car arrived at the company.

After arriving at the company, Chen Mo discovered that many newcomers had joined recently.

Among them were Hu Ge, who had taken the role of Li Xiaoyao that he had snatched, and Zhang Yi, a future powerhouse actor who never participated in variety shows.

Seeing these two, Chen Mo greeted them with a smile, which left them flattered, as they were just newcomers who had just stepped into the circle, while Chen Mo was an A-list star.

After greeting them, Chen Mo took the elevator directly to the top floor and then went to Chen Fu's office.

Seeing Chen Mo enter, Chen Fu glared at him, clearly blaming him for the scandal with Anne Hathaway in North America.
