Chapter 21

Besides the box office...

Golden Harvest began to produce CDs for "Shaolin Popey," preparing to make a secondary profit in the form of discs after the film was taken out of theaters!

At that time, the CDs would not only be sold in Xiangjiang!

This included mainland China, and it would be fully released throughout Southeast Asia!

At that time, one could imagine that Chen Mo’s fame would definitely be even hotter!

September 15th...

The film was still showing.

However, because the kindergarten in Jingcheng had already started for half a month, Chen Mu took Chen Mo back to Jingcheng first, while Chen Fu stayed in Xiangjiang to handle the follow-up matters.

Three days later... September 18th.

Chen Mo returned to the kindergarten with a little bald head.

Arriving in the kindergarten class...

"Haha, Chen Mo is a little baldhead..."

"Chen Mo is a little baldhead..."

"Little baldhead... little baldhead..."

The children in the class saw Chen Mo coming to school half a month late and not only did not welcome him, but instead mocked him one after another.

Even two of the naughtiest little boys ran directly in front of Chen Mo and raised their dirty little hands to touch Chen Mo’s little bald head.

Looking at the little hands reaching over, Chen Mo’s mouth twitched, and he stepped back two steps to avoid them.

But the two children continued to grab at him persistently, and even one child grabbed Chen Mo’s clothes.

Chen Mo didn’t indulge these two brats either; he raised his hands and slapped both of them on the face...

"Wah... uwa..."

The next second, the two children cried and ran out; they were probably going to find the teacher.

"Momo! You’re bullying your classmates again!"

At this moment, a crisp voice rang out.

Chen Mo turned his head and saw Yang Mi, who had two little sheep-horn braids, looking at him with pouted lips.

"Who told them to call me a little baldhead and try to touch me."

Chen Mo said.

As he spoke, he walked to the side of the long table, sat on a chair, and then lay on the table with his upper body in a salted-fish-like manner.

Yang Mi looked at Chen Mo’s appearance, her big eyes blinking.

Then she walked to Chen Mo’s side and raised her hand to rub Chen Mo’s head.

It was slightly prickly, but mostly smooth.

This strange tactile sensation made Yang Mi’s big eyes light up, as if she had discovered an incredible toy.

Immediately, she put both hands on Chen Mo’s bald head and began to play with it, occasionally letting out crisp laughter.

And the other children around looked at Yang Mi with envy, but because they were afraid that Chen Mo would hit them, they didn’t dare to come forward.

"It’s endless, isn’t it? Stop it."

Chen Mo waved his hand to interrupt Yang Mi’s fiddling and said helplessly.

"Giggle, no, it’s so fun..."

Yang Mi laughed.

Listening to Yang Mi’s words, Chen Mo rolled his eyes helplessly.

Fine...

Play if you want to play.

When you were little, you played with mine; when we grow up, I’ll play with yours...

Chen Mo thought secretly in his heart.

Not long after...

The teacher walked in, holding the two children who still had tears on their faces.

After entering, she saw Chen Mo lying on the table like a salted fish.

The teacher immediately raised her eyebrows and scolded, "Chen Mo! Why did you hit your classmates!"

Hearing the teacher’s words, Chen Mo stood up and said, "Teacher, they called me a little baldhead."

The teacher was stunned for a moment.

Only then did she notice Chen Mo’s little bald head.

Looking at Chen Mo, who was becoming more and more cute, plus the look of that little bald head, the anger in her heart dissipated by more than half.

After all, this is a world that looks at faces.

She scolded Chen Mo two more times, and then the teacher let the two beaten children return to their seats.

"Alright, all children sit down, now we start class..."

"The content to learn today is Pinyin, a... o... e, everyone read with me..."

The teacher’s voice came from the class...

Then the crisp voices of the children also rang out.

Soon, time reached September 25th...

"Shaolin Popey," which had been showing in Xiangjiang for twenty-six days, was taken off the screen.

In twenty-six days, a film that only invested 600,000 RMB obtained a total box office of 10.03 million!

That day, major newspapers scrambled to report on this film!

And in the reports, Chen Mo’s name was mentioned many times.

Besides that, major film and television companies in Xiangjiang contacted Chen Fu one after another, wanting to sign Chen Mo, or sending audition invitations to Chen Mo.

These companies included the initial Golden Harvest, as well as top Xiangjiang film and television companies like Shaw Brothers.

Regarding the signing invitations sent by these companies, Chen Fu used the excuse of considering it to drag them out.

In addition...

Because of the popularity of the first "Shaolin Popey," Golden Harvest decided to take advantage of the heat to shoot the second work in the "Shaolin Popey" series.

Currently, they were looking for a screenwriter to write the script, and at the same time, they sent an invitation to Chen Mo. After all, Chen Mo was the selling point of this series. If Chen Mo was missing, whether the next box office could continue to be hot was really uncertain.

Regarding Golden Harvest’s invitation, Chen Fu did not refuse this time, but indicated that he would see the content of the script before making a decision.

Just like that...

Time reached September 28th.

After handling the matters and receiving the box office share, Chen Fu took a plane back to Jingcheng.

That night...

The family of three sat at the dining table eating.

Chen Fu took the bankbook out of his pocket and handed it to Chen Mu with a proud expression.

"How much money?"

Chen Mu asked while taking the bankbook.

"See for yourself."

Chen Fu said somewhat smugly.

Chen Mo, who was next to him, looked at his old man speechlessly.

What is Old Chen proud of? This money wasn’t earned by him?

"4.8 million!"

Chen Mu opened the bankbook and looked at the string of numbers on it, exclaiming in surprise.

And at the same time...

The system’s voice rang in Chen Mo’s mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for your net worth breaking one million. You have unlocked the 'Millionaire' achievement. Reward: one system lottery draw.]

"Hehe, our family is rich."
