Chapter 240

"No, an old friend wants to entrust me to invite you to participate in the filming of a movie."

Chris Columbus said helplessly on the other end of the phone.

He actually didn't want to make this call; after all, after "Harry Potter 7" was taken off the shelves, "Harry Potter 8" had to be prepared. If Chen Mo took this film from his old friend, the filming progress of Harry Potter 8 would definitely be pushed back.

But this friend of his had a very good relationship with him, so Chris Columbus finally decided to help ask.

"What movie? Is there a script?"

Chen Mo asked.

"The script is called 'I Am Legend'; I'll send the script to your email later."

"Mm, okay."

The two finished speaking and hung up.

Half an hour later, Chen Mo returned home.

After entering the courtyard, Chen Mo greeted his grandmother and Chen Mu, then went upstairs.

Arriving in his bedroom, Chen Mo opened his computer, logged into his email, and saw the email sent by Chris Columbus.

Chen Mo opened the email and looked at the script inside, and his expression became somewhat strange.

No wonder when Chris Columbus mentioned "I Am Legend" before, Chen Mo felt it was somewhat familiar.

It turned out to be the script for "I Am Legend"!

"I Am Legend" was a post-apocalyptic zombie movie starring Will in his previous life.

Although it was a post-apocalyptic zombie movie, there weren't many horror elements in it, and the actors needed were also quite good.

It was basically a one-man show for the protagonist.

This movie was a test of acting skills.

In his previous life, although this movie didn't win any awards, many people knew that the acting skills required for this movie were definitely not low.

A movie for his apprentice...

Should he film it?

Chen Mo began to struggle.

After a moment.

Chen Mo made a decision in his heart!

He would film it!

This couldn't be considered him stealing Will's movie; after all, the other party had taken the initiative to come to him, and to be honest, Will not filming this movie wouldn't have any impact on him, because Will's truly famous movies were the Men in Black series and "The Pursuit of Happyness."

Thinking of this, Chen Mo took out his phone and called Chris Columbus directly.

The call was connected quickly.

"Hey, Chen Mo, did you look at the script?"

Chris Columbus asked on the other end of the phone.

Chen Mo said: "I looked at it, the script is good. Have your friend contact me later; I want to talk to him personally."

"Okay."

Then the two said a few words and hung up.

Ten minutes later, Chen Mo received a call from Francis, the director of "I Am Legend."

Francis: "Hello, Mr. Chen Mo."

Chen Mo laughed: "Hello, Director Francis."

"I heard what Chris said; thank you for participating in this movie."

"Heh heh, you're too polite; it's mainly because this script is very good, and I've been trying new types of scripts lately."

"By the way, I saw that the script also needs a female lead; do you have a candidate for the female lead?"

Chen Mo asked.

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Francis was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "There is no candidate yet; does Mr. Chen Mo have any recommended actors?"

Chen Mo laughed: "I think Anne Hathaway is very suitable for the female lead in this movie."

Francis raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

Hollywood had always rumored that Chen Mo and Anne Hathaway's relationship was unusual, and now it seemed it really was unusual!

"Okay, I will invite Ms. Anne Hathaway to participate in the audition later."

"Mm, then I'll trouble you."

The two chatted for a while, and then set a time to sign the contract.

After chatting for about half an hour, the two hung up.

Time passed quickly for another week.

A brand new episode of "Global Good Voice" aired.

In addition, "Chinese Paladin 2" and "Soldiers Sortie" had also finished filming!

Currently, the Momo Company was conducting post-production on these two films.

And while the Momo Company was conducting post-production on these two TV series, various satellite TV stations in China had already sent people to express their intention to purchase the premiere rights.

After all, whether it was movies, variety shows, or TV series, the Momo Company had already been proven in the market!

Take the previous "Chinese Paladin 1" as an example.

Xiangnan Satellite TV directly obtained amazing ratings through this TV series, then they took advantage of the heat to launch several variety shows to grab the audience's attention; now, Xiangnan Satellite TV's weekday ratings could be considered the first among major domestic satellite TV stations!

So now that the Momo Company had launched these two TV series, it made major satellite TV stations eager to try!

On the other side.

Duan Hongyi and Li Chen, after finishing the filming of "Soldiers Sortie," immediately headed to the crew of "Transformers 2."

Now, except for Chen Mo, who hadn't arrived, all other actors had arrived and started filming!

The director of Transformers 2 was Li An, and because it was his first time directing such a large-scale production movie, he had been in high spirits since the start of filming, wanting to use this large production to establish his status in the Hollywood director circle!

On Chen Mo's side...

At this moment, he was recording a new episode of "Global Good Voice."

This recording was the competition for the top 16 to 10!

This recording lasted for three full days. After the recording ended, among the four in Chen Mo's group—Taylor Swift, Xu Song, Deng Xiaoqi, and Justin—Justin was eliminated.

After Justin was eliminated, Chen Mo called Justin over separately and asked him if he wanted to join the Momo Company, and he was rejected by Justin.

Rejected!

And the reason for the rejection was that Justin had already signed with Universal Music.

For Justin's rejection, Chen Mo's heart was calm, without any discomfort.

After all, everyone had the right to choose; since Justin chose to join another company, Chen Mo would just pluck more of his wool in the future.

It was no big deal.

Mid-October.

After recording the latest episode of "Global Good Voice," Chen Mo immediately took a car to the crew of "Transformers 2."

After arriving, it was already evening.

Chen Mo didn't go directly to the crew, but came to the hotel where the crew was staying.

Arriving at his room, Chen Mo was just about to take off his clothes when a knock came from outside the door.

Hearing the sound, Chen Mo walked to the door and looked outside through the peephole.

First, what caught his eye was roundness, and then Chen Mo saw clearly that it was Jiang Xin outside.

Chen Mo's mouth curled up, and he reached out to open the door.

"Long time no see."

Jiang Xin said softly with a smile on her face.

"Mm, come in."

Chen Mo laughed.

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Jiang Xin gave a soft "mm" and then stepped inside.

Just after entering the room, Chen Mo closed the door.

Then Chen Mo hugged Jiang Xin with both hands.
