Chapter 293: *The Return of the Condor Heroes* premieres; is this not Yang Guo himself?

The United States.

Having finished the concert, Chen Mo was about to set off for the next city to prepare.

"Can you really not stay a few more days?"

Taylor looked at Chen Mo with reluctance.

"Exactly, wouldn't it be fine to leave two days later?"

Avril was also very reluctant.

"Of course not."

Chen Mo chuckled.

He needed to arrive at the concert venue of every country in advance to first determine if there were any areas that needed adjustment.

Then, he would conduct rehearsals for the stage positioning.

If he left two days later, the concert schedule would be pushed back.

"Momo, I will miss you."

Avril's expression was somewhat sad.

Today, for a rare occasion, she was not wearing her punk outfit, nor was she wearing smoky makeup; she wanted Chen Mo to see her as she truly was before he left.

Chen Mo smiled and said goodbye to Avril and Taylor.

This was the United States, where paparazzi and media were far more numerous than back home; at this moment, paparazzi were aiming their lenses at Avril.

A few hours later, a piece of news exploded across Europe and America.

"Punk Queen Avril transforms into a good girl—all for him?"

"Shocking! Avril's first transformation!"

"The man who made Avril change?"

"Another famous female star gets a makeover for Chen Mo!"

The entire European and American music scene was stunned.

In the past, no matter where she went or what activities she attended, even in private paparazzi shots, Avril always dressed very rebelliously.

The most iconic part was the punk makeup on her face.

Now, there was actually no makeup on Avril's face, and she was dressed so sweetly.

It was clearly for Chen Mo!

It was too shocking.

Chen Mo had made a generation's rock-and-roll rebel pop princess change herself.

Most importantly, Avril was not at all afraid of being followed by paparazzi while appearing like this.

If this were someone else, surely many fans would not be able to accept Avril changing her image for another person.

But Avril did it for Chen Mo.

How was it that the fans actually felt it was somewhat normal?

After all, there were too many female stars who had made crazy moves for Chen Mo.

……

Meanwhile, back home.

*The Return of the Condor Heroes* premiered during CCTV's prime time.

That day, audiences stayed in front of their televisions waiting for the broadcast of *The Return of the Condor Heroes*.

When Chen Mo appeared on television in ancient costume, the audience was exceptionally excited.

"Chen Mo is so handsome."

"I finally understand what 'a youth in fresh clothes and riding a spirited horse' means."

"Old Master Jin Yong didn't lie."

"Chen Mo is truly so suited for ancient costumes."

"Isn't this Yang Guo himself?"

They finally understood why Jin Yong repeatedly emphasized that Chen Mo was Yang Guo himself.

Chen Mo in ancient costume was exactly what a young martial arts hero looked like.

The level of suitability was too high.

Besides the image of Yang Guo played by Chen Mo being very faithful to the original work, the plot of the entire television series was also very close to the descriptions in the original.

Currently, only two episodes of *The Return of the Condor Heroes* had aired.

Just from the content of these two episodes, it could already be seen that the series was very faithful to the original.

Many fans of the original work had previously been very dissatisfied with the remakes of *The Return of the Condor Heroes*, but this series could be said to be the one that convinced them the most so far.

It far surpassed the openings of the other versions of *The Return of the Condor Heroes*.

It was mainly because the casting was just too good.

Chen Mo immediately acted out that heroic temperament of Yang Guo, who was both righteous and evil.

*The Return of the Condor Heroes* had only aired two episodes, and it had already become the most talked-about television series in China.

……

While *The Return of the Condor Heroes* was airing hotly, Chen Mo had already arrived in the next tour city.

In the hotel.

"What is this?"

Chen Mo looked at the giant panda plushie that Xu Xiaofeng had carried into the room, caught between laughter and tears.

If it weren't for the foreigners all over the streets outside the window, he would truly have had the feeling of having returned home.

"A local specialty; don't you think they are very cute?"

Xu Xiaofeng held the giant panda plushie, unable to put it down.

"Are you sure this is a local specialty?"

Chen Mo pointed at the plushie, quite suspicious that Xu Xiaofeng had made a mistake.

This thing was clearly a Chinese specialty, if anything.

"I'm sure; giant panda plushies are being sold on every street and alley in this place."

Xu Xiaofeng nodded affirmatively.

Actually, when she first saw it, she was also very surprised, but later she asked the locals and understood what was going on.

It turned out that because of Chen Mo's influence on the world over these years, China had become a place that many foreigners yearned for, and many things from China had become bestsellers here.

Among them, one of the things that best represented the image of China was the giant panda.

This also led to giant panda plushies being very popular locally.

"Interesting."

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind.

He took out his phone and called Wang Jinghua.

At this time, Wang Jinghua was busy at the company handling matters for the Momo Company; seeing Chen Mo calling, she walked out of the conference room.

"Sister Wang, I plan to make a new movie."

Once the call connected, Chen Mo spoke directly.

"Alright, what genre?"

Wang Jinghua nodded.

It was a very normal thing for Chen Mo to want to make a movie.

"An animated movie, specifically a movie about giant pandas, combining Chinese kung fu with pandas."

Chen Mo said with a smile.

This sentence gave Wang Jinghua a fright.

"Momo, your idea is good, but are you sure you want our company to make an animated movie?"

She asked in disbelief.

Momo Company had indeed produced many high-quality movies and had participated in the investment of some animated movies, but they had never produced an animated movie themselves.

To put it bluntly.

The animated movie industry in China was currently very depressed.

Before the year 2000, there were indeed a few classic works that came out domestically.

But after 2000, the domestic animated movie industry became increasingly desolate; let alone going international, even getting Chinese people to recognize it themselves was difficult.

Moreover, producing an animated movie required a huge amount of capital.

If the box office wasn't good, it would definitely be a total loss.

"Yes, I'm sure. Sister Wang, help me find a team to produce it over these two days; I need the best animators internationally."

Chen Mo had already made up his mind.

He wanted to take this opportunity to produce *Kung Fu Panda*!

When this movie came out back then, it directly exploded globally.

One had to know that the two biggest symbols of China were the panda and kung fu.

*Kung Fu Panda* combined these two elements, and not only did it receive high praise domestically, but it also triggered the first wave of Chinese animated movies internationally.

He was not at all worried that there would be any problems once this movie was produced.

"Why don't you think about it again?"

Wang Jinghua rubbed her brow.

She didn't know like Chen Mo did what kind of craze *Kung Fu Panda* would cause; she simply felt that producing an animated movie was a risky move.

In the past, even if Chen Mo wanted to do something risky, one could at least see the potential returns.

That was why Wang Jinghua didn't try to dissuade him much.

But the matter of producing an animated movie was too big.

If money was lost, that was a small matter; Chen Mo wasn't short of money anyway.

The main thing was that it would affect the reputation of Momo Company; that would be a true case of the loss outweighing the gain.
