Chapter 19

After all, he was still too young.

"Little Momo, let sister hold you, okay?"

Yang Qiong, sitting next to Ye Zhen, said with an expectant look.

Hearing Yang Qiong’s words, Chen Mo glanced at her, then shifted his little head to find the most comfortable position before fixing his gaze on the screen, where the images had yet to appear.

Although Yang Qiong was very beautiful in her youth and possessed a kind of androgynous beauty, Ye Zhen was much prettier than Yang Qiong!

Besides...

The "snowy peaks" seemed to be a bit larger than Yang Qiong’s as well...

Chen Mo’s mind wandered with these random thoughts.

And in Chen Mo’s wandering thoughts, time passed bit by bit.

When the lights in the screening hall suddenly went out and images appeared on the big screen in front, Chen Mo finally sobered up and focused his attention on the screen.

After all, watching a movie and watching a movie you starred in were two different feelings!

As the film began, a voice-over narrated that a Heavenly Demon had appeared in the human world and bribed the bumbling killers, the Double Lemons, to steal the Marrow Cleansing Scripture from the wall-facing uncle. Then, the scene shifted, lively music played, and the screen showed a temple...

Xiao Wen, played by Chen Mo, and Xiao Long, played by Xie Miao, appeared on the screen...

Looking at himself on the screen, Chen Mo felt a sense of embarrassment at that moment.

However, after hearing the comments from the film critics in the rows behind him, the little bit of embarrassment in Chen Mo’s heart dissipated.

"This little guy is really cute!"

"Wow! So cute! I want to hold him in my arms and kiss him!"

"If only I had a child as cute as this!"

The movie continued...

The plot was actually very simple, mostly consisting of slapstick comedy...

So, for the rest of the time, laughter in the screening hall was constant...

After all, the high-quality script, Chen Mo’s incredibly high level of attractiveness, acting skills not found in a four-year-old child, and this year’s most popular nonsense-comedy theme—all these combined instantly grabbed the eyes of every audience member!

Especially Xiao Wen, played by Chen Mo, which made all the female audience members who watched the film light up with excitement, shouting that they loved him!

Just like that, an hour and a half passed quickly...

The film ended...

When the lights in the hall came on, everyone in the hall stood up and began to applaud.

Soon, the next day...

The *Xiangjiang Entertainment Daily*, *Gossip Daily*, and many other well-known newspapers published their reviews of *Shaolin Popey* from the previous day!

"Jiahe’s New Work! A Hilarious Hit! Super Cute Novice Monk Makes the Whole Audience Laugh!"

"Jiahe’s New Work Brings a Wave of Cute Kids!"

"Slapstick Comedy + Cute Kid = Box Office Smash!"

Inside a theater under the Jiahe banner.

"Give me three tickets for *Shaolin Popey*."

"I want two."

"I want two as well."

More than half of the people who came to watch movies chose *Shaolin Popey*.

"I’m sorry, the next showing is sold out. Would you like to book tickets for the one after that?"

The ticket seller asked with a smile.

"Sold out? Forget it, the one after that will have to do."

The audience member said helplessly.

All the screening sessions of "Shaolin Popey" at Golden Harvest Cinemas were almost sold out, with a seat occupancy rate reaching 89%!

Such a hot occupancy rate forced Golden Harvest to immediately come up with a response.

That same day, Golden Harvest increased the number of screening sessions for "Shaolin Popey" across all its affiliated theaters!

Furthermore, the senior management at Golden Harvest Company began to pay attention to several of the actors in this film.

Of course, the main focus was on Chen Mo!

Although the film featured two child stars: Xiao Wen, played by Chen Mo, and Xiao Long, played by Xie Miao.

Xiao Wen, played by Chen Mo, was primarily responsible for the comedy and cuteness, while Xiao Long, played by Xie Miao, was responsible for the action; however, feedback showed that most of the audience’s focus was on Chen Mo.

Therefore, Golden Harvest immediately dispatched personnel to contact Chen Mo’s side.

In the hotel room...

At this moment, the three members of Chen Mo’s family were all staying in the hotel room.

A variety show from Xiangjiang was playing on the hotel television, and Chen Mo was watching it with some boredom.

Just then, the system’s voice rang out in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for the successful release of your first film. You have unlocked the 'Cinema Newcomer' achievement. Reward: one system lottery draw.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for the film you starred in breaking 1,000 in box office sales. You have unlocked the 'Box Office Newcomer' achievement. Reward: one system lottery draw.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for the film you starred in breaking 10,000 in box office sales. You have unlocked the 'Box Office Newcomer II' achievement. Reward: one system lottery draw.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for the film you starred in breaking 100,000 in box office sales. You have unlocked the 'Box Office Newcomer III' achievement. Reward: one system lottery draw.]

Four consecutive system notification sounds.

Chen Mo felt a sudden surge of joy in his heart.

He had previously obtained two lottery draws, but later, because five lottery draws could be combined into an intermediate lottery draw, Chen Mo had kept them.

Now that he had obtained four more, that made a total of six system lottery draws!

"Combine..."

Chen Mo whispered in his heart.

[Ding! Consumed five system lottery draws to obtain one intermediate lottery draw.]

The notification sound rang out again.

"Start the lottery."

[Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Top-Tier Memory.]

The system’s voice rang out.

The next second, Chen Mo felt a strange sensation in his mind; it felt like a cold patient with a long-blocked nose suddenly having their nose cleared!

A massive amount of memories from his past life flooded into his mind.

These memories included all the content he had seen in his past life...

Songs, films, and even novels!

Even if he had only glanced at something casually, it was now clearly branded into his mind.

Feeling the memories in his mind, a look of joy appeared on Chen Mo’s face.

Now that the intermediate lottery draw was used up, there was one primary lottery draw left.

"Start the lottery."

Chen Mo’s thoughts stirred again.

[Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Intermediate Skateboard Skills.]

The system’s voice rang out.

The corners of Chen Mo’s mouth twitched.

Skateboard skills?

Oh well, it’s not bad; he can use it to show off and pick up girls in the future...

Withdrawing his thoughts from the system, Chen Mo’s gaze fell back onto the variety show playing on the television.

The variety show was called "Tonight Not Defended," launched last year. The hosts were the three great talents of Xiangjiang, Huang Zhan and two others, and the guest for this episode was the currently red-hot actress, Empress Gong.

A few years ago, she won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival for the film "Red Sorghum," making her fame resonate throughout China and Xiangjiang.
