Chapter 39: It
“What are you reading?”
Chen Mo asked familiarly.
Will gave a grunt, then pointed to the cover of the book and said, “I’m reading *An Actor Prepares*.”
Hearing Will’s words, Chen Mo immediately thought.
In his previous life, Will started as a rapper and even won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance in 1989. It was only this year that he started transitioning to become an actor.
That means this guy already had the idea of transitioning!
Thinking of this, Chen Mo said, “You want to be an actor?”
“Uh... yes, I do have that idea.”
Will nodded.
Then he asked back, “Little guy, where in Asia are you from?”
Chen Mo said, “China.”
Hearing Chen Mo’s words, Will nodded.
“By the way, if you want to learn acting, I can teach you.”
Chen Mo said.
Will was stunned for a moment, pointing at Chen Mo with some surprise, then pointing at himself.
“You teach me?”
“Of course, I am an actor. I’ve acted in two movies, the box office exceeded 40 million, and I played the lead in both.”
Chen Mo nodded and said.
Hearing this, Will became interested.
He put down the book, stood up, and walked to the fence. The two were two meters apart, separated by a fence.
“Alright, little guy, how do you want to teach me?” ===== CHAPTER 73 =====
Will asked with a smile.
“First, actors are divided into two categories: one is the natural actor, and the other is the character actor... The natural actor...”
Chen Mo’s little mouth chattered on.
When Will first started listening, there was still a smile on his face, but gradually the smile disappeared, and he became serious.
He had just come into contact with acting and had never undergone professional training.
And Chen Mo had previously obtained "Primary Acting" through a lucky draw. Although Chen Mo was not old, in terms of acting, Chen Mo currently surpassed Will by a lot.
They talked like this for about ten minutes.
Not far behind Chen Mo, Chen Mu finally noticed that her son had run over to chat with the neighbor.
Chen Mu frowned slightly and stood up, preparing to go over.
However, the English teacher stopped her.
“Ms. Chen, please don’t worry. That is Mr. Will. He is a singer and not a bad person.”
“Also, letting Momo use English to communicate with people can help him master English faster.”
Hearing the English teacher’s words, Chen Mu pondered for a few seconds and finally nodded, sitting back down.
But not long after she sat down, a phone rang inside the house.
“Excuse me, I’ll go answer the phone.”
“Okay, and today’s study time is over anyway, so I’ll be going.”
“Okay, see you tomorrow.”
With that, Chen Mu walked toward the house.
The English teacher packed up the books and turned to leave.
Five minutes later.
Chen Mu walked out of the house quickly.
“Momo! The film crew called and wants us to go over for an audition now.”
Chen Mu said with a smile on her face.
Hearing Chen Mu’s words, Chen Mo was also happy.
He said to Will, who was looking a bit bewildered on the other side, “I’ve received an audition invitation. Today’s lesson ends here. I’ll teach you again when I get back, or you can come find me at my house when you have time. Bye-bye.”
With that, Chen Mo turned and left.
Will stood there, stunned for a long time.
One hour later.
Fox Film Company headquarters in Century City, Los Angeles.
Chen Mo and Chen Mu arrived here.
Then, led by company reception staff, the two arrived at a small conference room.
Inside the conference room.
At this moment, the director of *Home Alone*, Chris Columbus, and two Fox executives were sitting at the conference table.
When they saw Chen Mo walk in, the three nodded with satisfaction.
Although they already knew what Chen Mo looked like through the disc and documents, seeing him in person still gave people a feeling of being amazed!
Yes!
That’s exactly the word to describe it—amazed!
Having previously obtained "Top-Tier Looks," Chen Mo’s facial features and temperament had been gradually optimized over the past year or so.
Although Chen Mo was only five years old now.
But it was precisely because he was five that he had the charm to captivate both old and young, men and women!
“The appearance is very good. Although it’s a comedy, a good-looking cute kid can attract more people.”
A Fox executive said.
Chris Columbus nodded.
Then he said to Chen Mo, “Child, don’t be nervous. Now, please introduce yourself.”
Chen Mo nodded, then said crisply, “Hello, gentlemen. I am Chinese. I am from Beijing. I am five years old this year. I have acted in two works, among which...”
Chen Mo’s voice was unhurried, and he didn’t look nervous at all.
And the three people opposite him, Chris Columbus and the others, felt their satisfaction with Chen Mo increase a few more points as they listened to his words.
Especially Chris Columbus.
Because he was a director who specialized in children’s films, he didn’t know how many child actors he had come into contact with so far, but he had never seen one as composed as Chen Mo.
By the door.
Chen Mu stood there, looking at Chen Mo with pride in her eyes.
How could she have given birth to such an excellent son?!
One minute later.
Chen Mo’s self-introduction ended.
Chris Columbus nodded with a smile and said, “Very good self-introduction. Child, can you perform a scene for us now?”
“Oh, by the way, do you know what a live performance means?”
Chris Columbus asked one more question.
He couldn’t help it; he really liked this child.
“I know, sir. Please give me the prompt.”
Chen Mo said.
This audition was related to the most important film for his entry into Hollywood, so Chen Mo stopped pretending.
Anyway, being a bit of a prodigy was fine.
“Alright, then please perform a scene where you are home alone, and a thief or bad guy comes to your house.”
“Alright, sir.”
Chen Mo said, pondered for a moment, and then began to perform.
Having obtained the system’s "Primary Acting," although it was only primary, it was still acting that shouldn’t belong to this age. So when Chen Mo started performing, except for Chen Mu, Chris Columbus and the two Fox executives’ eyes suddenly lit up.
Although this child’s acting was still slightly raw, it was definitely much, much better than his peers!
A five-year-old child!
Had he been reading *An Actor Prepares* since he was in the womb?
“Good! It’s you, kid!”
Chris Columbus clapped his hands and decided directly.
The two Fox executives next to him looked at each other and nodded one after another.
After making the decision, the Fox executives immediately arranged for someone to come and negotiate the salary with Chen Mu.
Chen Mu didn’t know much about this, so she made a phone call and called Chen Fu over. ===== CHAPTER 74 =====
