Chapter 33

Originally, he wanted to know the creator of this song and then obtain the copyright for the performance on the Spring Festival Gala, but Chen Mo had actually forgotten.

After thinking about it...

Lang Kun decided to use this song anyway!

After all, it’s the Spring Festival Gala; no matter whose song it is, as long as it’s on the Spring Festival Gala, the other party would definitely be happy and burning incense to thank the heavens.

Having made the decision, Lang Kun turned his head and began to communicate with Chen Fu beside him.

"Mr. Chen, Momo will sing this song on the Spring Festival Gala later. During this time, Momo needs to come over for rehearsal practice every day. Is that a problem?"

"No problem."

Chen Fu said directly.

Seeing that Chen Fu had agreed, Lang Kun immediately arranged for staff to take Chen Mo’s family to a special rehearsal room.

Soon, a day passed.

The news that Chen Mo was going to participate in the Spring Festival Gala spread.

First, Chen Mo’s grandparents were the first to know, then Yang Mi and Liu Fei, and then Anita Mui and others.

Learning that Chen Mo was going to be on the Spring Festival Gala, Yang Mi and Liu Fei were both admiring and disappointed, because if Chen Mo was on the Spring Festival Gala, they wouldn't be able to play together during this time.

Just like that, time passed day by day.

Chen Mo was driven by Chen Fu to the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal site early every morning and didn't return until the evening after rehearsals.

On the other side, in Xiangjiang, the Spring Festival slot battle was still continuing.

"The Top Bet," starring Andy Lau and Stephen Chow, and "Once a Thief," starring Leslie Cheung and Chow Yun-fat, were locked in a tight battle, with the two box offices overtaking each other back and forth.

February 7th.

"Operation Condor," starring Jackie Chan, joined the battle!

As an Asian action superstar who had already made a name for himself in Southeast Asia, on the day of its premiere, it directly suppressed both "The Top Bet" and "Once a Thief" with a box office of 2.4 million.

And the next day, February 8th, "Shaolin Popey 2: Messy Temple," starring Chen Mo, was released.

For this film, although Anita Mui had personally taken the field to promote it for her apprentice, everyone was not optimistic about the box office.

After all, a low-budget production had joined the films of three giants; the result was definitely something one didn't even need to think about.

However, on the day of release, the box office surprised everyone.

On that day, Chen Mo’s "Shaolin Popey 2" box office reached 2.05 million, while the box offices for Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-fat, and others were 2.8 million, 1.95 million, and 2.3 million respectively!

"Shaolin Popey 2" box office took third place!

February 9th, "Shaolin Popey 2" box office reached 2.2 million, still in third place.

February 10th, "Shaolin Popey 2" box office reached 2.3 million, still in third place!

And in fourth place was Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung’s "Once a Thief"!

As for Jackie Chan’s "Operation Condor" and Stephen Chow’s "The Top Bet," they had box offices of 2.8 million and 2.59 million respectively.

Now the situation was very clear; although Chow Yun-fat and Leslie Cheung’s film had achieved a good box office, it couldn't change the fact that it was the first film to fail in this Spring Festival slot battle.

Soon, it was February 15th.

The Spring Festival arrived.

At 8:00 PM, the lights were on in every household in China, and the vast majority of people were sitting in front of black-and-white or color TVs watching this year’s Spring Festival Gala.

At Yang Mi’s home.

"Mom, why hasn't Momo come out yet?"

Yang Mi sat on a small stool, her eyes fixed on the TV screen as she asked.

"It should be soon."

Yang Mu said.

"Oh."

On the other side, at Liu Fei’s home.

Because it was the New Year, Liu Fu had specially returned from his hometown to accompany Liu Mu and Liu Fei for the New Year.

However, because of the conflict between Liu Fu and Liu Mu, the atmosphere in the home was somewhat dull.

But Liu Fei, who was only five years old, didn't realize this; she was currently sitting in front of the TV waiting for Chen Mo’s appearance.

Time passed second by second.

Many classic works appeared.

Among them, Dandan’s "Hand in Hand" and Uncle Benshan’s "Xiao Jiu Lao Le" sketches made all the audience watching the Spring Festival Gala laugh out loud.

Then, Chen Pei and Zhu Shi’s "The Thief and the Police" made the audience laugh until they were doubled over.

And after this sketch ended, host Zhao Zhong went on stage, and after saying a few simple words, the next program began.

Then a small figure appeared on the stage.

Seeing that figure, Yang Mi and Liu Fei’s eyes lit up, and then they both jumped up, pointing at the figure on the TV and shouting "Momo."

At the same time, the audience watching the program saw Chen Mo go on stage; some viewers who had seen the "Shaolin Popey" disc instantly recognized Chen Mo.

And some people who hadn't seen the disc had their eyes light up!

What a handsome little child!

They saw that Chen Mo was wearing a custom-made black little suit, and because he was bald, he was wearing a wig, and he was holding a ukulele that was just right for him.

Just then, the accompaniment started...

Two girls wearing white dance skirts and elegant postures walked to Chen Mo’s sides and began to dance gracefully.

And Chen Mo was holding the ukulele, plucking the strings while singing.

The black sky hangs low,

Bright stars follow,

Bugs fly, bugs fly,

Who are you missing?

Chen Mo’s singing voice was transmitted through the TV set to the homes of every household in China.
