Chapter 312

~7 min read 1,366 words

The next day, *My Love from the Star* was broadcast simultaneously across various Southeast Asian countries, and the viewership ratings were all very impressive.

"The Hallyu Wave Strikes, Number One in Southeast Asian Viewership!"

"Professor Do Becomes the Dream Lover of Girls Across Many Nations."

"A Unique Drama: *My Love from the Star* Creates a Miracle."

"Breaking New Records for Idol Dramas, Chen Mo Ignites Another Hot Topic."

Media outlets in every country were startled by the popularity of *My Love from the Star* and scrambled to report on this phenomenal film.

Not only that, but fans began searching online for the same clothes worn by Chen Mo and Jun Ji-hyun in the drama.

It had only been two nights.

The related brands of clothing were all sold out!

Many teenagers began to imitate the outfits of Professor Do and Cheon Song-yi.

"Too awesome. This ability to drive sales is much stronger than other stars."

Xu Xiaofeng was startled when she looked at the data.

Chen Mo was just wearing these things casually; if he were to truly act as a brand ambassador, the effect would likely be even more exaggerated.

For a star, if you want to know if they are popular, just look at the endorsements they hold.

If they are all obscure second or third-tier products, then the star must also be a minor, fading celebrity.

Conversely, if they are a true big star, the endorsements they take must be world-renowned luxury brands.

Although Chen Mo did not take on luxury brand endorsements, she let Jun Ji-hyun take advantage of the opportunity to sign several luxury brand deals to improve her market value and status.

……

Just as *My Love from the Star* became a huge hit, the *Avatar* crew had all arrived.

In addition to the preparations Cameron had made himself in the early stages, the Momo Company invested another 500 million, intending to use it for post-production and promotion.

*Avatar* filming location.

"Attention all actors, because most of the filming requires post-production scenes, there are many parts that need to be shot against a green screen. Try your best to immerse yourselves in your roles; do not break character."

Cameron shouted through a megaphone.

Except for some scenes that needed to be shot in the jungle, the rest of the scenes were shot indoors against a green screen.

They required post-production for scene synthesis.

This type of acting without physical objects placed very high demands on the actors.

At the beginning, everyone was very immersed in their roles; after all, they were professional actors.

But after filming for a while, it was inevitable that they would break into laughter.

Throughout the entire process, only Chen Mo maintained a sense of belief from beginning to end, never breaking character while filming.

Furthermore, to film *Avatar*, every actor had to wear very cumbersome sensor equipment; this equipment would be used in post-production to turn the characters into the special effects of the Na'vi.

Because of the sensor equipment on their bodies, it actually required even more from the actors to stay in character.

"It won't work, Director. This equipment looks too funny."

The actors would stop and laugh after filming for a while.

It was mainly because the movements of the Na'vi were very exaggerated and primitive; looking at the actors wearing tight suits and carrying the equipment, it was hard not to laugh.

Cameron was also somewhat helpless.

However, there was truly no other way; he could only wait for the actors to slowly get used to filming.

Only Chen Mo maintained the same attitude from start to finish, being very invested in every scene he acted in, and not only was he invested himself, but he also led other actors into their roles.

"Momo, how do you manage to stay in character all the time?"

During the mid-session break, Cameron couldn't help but ask Chen Mo.

Chen Mo felt a bit ashamed looking at Cameron's admiring gaze.

Uh...

Does fearing that wasting time will burn through more money count?

If there were too many shots in post-production, every frame edited would burn through another million dollars.

In this regard, Chen Mo still wanted to save wherever he could.

*Avatar* filming site.

The crew was taking a mid-session break.

Actors needed to wear tight suits and carry over ten pounds of sensor equipment every day; after long periods of filming, their physical strength would be unable to keep up.

Therefore, the filming site required a lot of mid-session break time.

"Brother Mo, Sister Wang called me just now, saying that the viewership ratings for *My Love from the Star* are still continuing to rise. It is now the viewership champion for dramas in every Southeast Asian country."

Xu Xiaofeng's tone was somewhat excited.

Every country in Southeast Asia!

Previously, many dramas from the Goryeo Kingdom had set high viewership ratings in various Asian countries.

But never had a drama's viewership ratings been like *My Love from the Star*.

"And now, Tieba and Weibo are all saying that Professor Do is the ideal type, and Brother Mo, you are the dream lover. Fans even created the first super-topic on Weibo for you and established a fan support club."

As Xu Xiaofeng spoke, her face turned red involuntarily.

She had also joined Chen Mo's support club.

She was almost becoming the president of the support club.

"How is Jun Ji-hyun doing now?"

Chen Mo took a sip of water and asked about Jun Ji-hyun's current situation.

"Currently, the company has helped her secure endorsements for Chanel and Dior. Additionally, there are several other luxury brands in negotiations, but it's basically confirmed that they will be hers."

Xu Xiaofeng stood by Chen Mo's side reporting the news.

Chen Mo nodded.

The acting fee for a top beauty like Jun Ji-hyun in 2007 was 1. 8 million per episode of a drama. After the broadcast of *My Love from the Star* this time, her market value would definitely have risen quite a bit.

Now Jun Ji-hyun was also one of the contracted actresses of Momo Entertainment; the higher her market value, the more it meant Momo Entertainment would earn.

Just as Chen Mo intended to ask two more questions, his phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Wang Jinghua.

"Momo, are you very busy filming right now? The author of *The Three-Body Problem* suddenly said he wants to meet you. If you are busy, I will help you decline."

Wang Jinghua spoke.

Clearly, she was prioritizing Chen Mo's affairs.

"I'm not busy, but it might not be convenient to fly back to the country. Can you ask him if we can talk over the phone?"

The main thing was that the filming work for *Avatar* was too cumbersome.

Chen Mo couldn't get away for the time being.

"He said he will fly to Hollywood to find you in the next two days; he wants to talk to you in person."

A sound of conversation came from the phone, and it was only a few seconds later that Wang Jinghua's voice came through.

What matter was so important that it required a face-to-face meeting?

Chen Mo was stunned.

However, given Da Liu's personality, if he wanted a face-to-face meeting, it meant this matter must be very important.

……

A few days later, Hollywood.

A somewhat awkward-looking tech geek walked quickly through the various film sets.

Every step he took, he could see different handsome men and beautiful women, which made him even more awkward.

It wasn't until he walked to an indoor filming site and saw Chen Mo, who was wearing a set of strange equipment, that Da Liu's expression finally stopped being awkward.

Instead, his eyes lit up as he looked at the equipment on the site.

"Where did this outsider come from? Someone come and drive him away."

Cameron was explaining the scene to the actors, and when he looked up, he saw Da Liu looking at their equipment with great interest, so he directly called for someone to drive Da Liu away.

"I'm here to find someone."

About to be driven away by the staff, Da Liu's face turned red from holding it in.
