Chapter 45: Viral! Shocked Xiangjiang audience! Seeking collections! Seeking flowers!

They immediately ordered their theaters to increase the screenings for *Home Alone*!

At the same time, Fox contacted Chen Mo, hoping he could cooperate by participating in a few promotional activities.

Regarding the matter from Fox, Chen Mu was originally not very willing, but Chen Mo, who found staying at school truly boring, immediately expressed that he wanted to cooperate with the promotion upon hearing about it.

Chen Mu had no choice but to agree.

So, the next day, Chen Mo went to participate in promotional activities with director Chris Columbus.

And during the time he was promoting, the first-day box office statistics for *Home Alone* came out!

The daily box office was 3.45 million!

While this box office wasn't considered high, it was definitely not low. ===== CHAPTER 85 =====

When the second day's box office figures came out, everyone was shocked!

The second day's box office reached 7 million dollars!

It was double the first day's box office!

Seeing this box office, whether it was Fox, the director, or Chen Mo, everyone became excited!

The company was excited for the money!

Director Chris Columbus and Chen Mo were excited for the fame.

On the third day, the daily box office for *Home Alone* reached 7.8 million dollars!

On the fourth day, the daily box office broke 10 million!

On the fifth day...

Time passed day by day.

*Home Alone* became a hit in Hollywood, and Chen Mo, as the lead, naturally became a hit too!

Now, basically everyone knew about this child star, Chen Mo!

In his daily life, when Chen Mo went out with Chen Mu, he would be recognized by many people, who would then kindly greet him.

Some women would even excitedly run over to hug Chen Mo and then sneak a kiss when he wasn't paying attention!

Besides that.

Chen Mo also received quite a few audition invitations for movies!

Regarding these invitations, Chen Mo took a brief look and directly asked his mom to help him decline them.

Because for most of those movies, Chen Mo hadn't even heard of them.

Having already decided to follow a path of high-quality works, Chen Mo naturally wouldn't take on those obscure films.

Soon, it was April!

*Home Alone*, which had been in theaters for a full month, finally finished its run at the beginning of April.

In the end, the total box office for *Home Alone* reached 290 million dollars!

And the investment for this movie was only 18 million!

It could be said that Fox made a fortune this time!

But it wasn't over yet.

Because this 290 million box office was only the box office from the United States.

Next, Fox Film Corporation immediately began the release plan for overseas countries.

These overseas countries included China's Xiangjiang, the country where the days are pretty good (Japan), Poland, Brazil, the UK, and others, totaling 23 countries!

At the same time...

In China's Xiangjiang.

*Shaolin Popey 3*, produced by Golden Harvest, was also about to be released. This movie starred new actors Shi Long and Hao Wen. Although their cuteness was far behind Chen Mo's, they were still considered outstanding.

Therefore, Golden Harvest was very confident about the box office for this movie.

But they didn't expect a piece of news to come from the China Film Association!

That was, on the day *Shaolin Popey 3* was released, an overseas movie titled *Home Alone* would be released simultaneously.

Most importantly, this movie actually starred Chen Mo!

Chen Mo!

That boy who had disappeared from the public eye for a year had actually reappeared in front of everyone in this way!

At Golden Harvest.

In the conference room, director Zhu Ping and several Golden Harvest executives sat at the conference table.

"I didn't expect him to run off to Hollywood without a word, this kid..."

Zhu Ping muttered helplessly.

Hearing Zhu Ping's words, several Golden Harvest executives frowned slightly.

"So, are we changing the release date or what?"

A Golden Harvest executive asked.

"The promotion is already halfway through, change the date? How do we change it?"

"It seems we have no choice but to face it."

"Yeah, there's no other way."

On the other side, in Anita Mui's villa.

Anita Mui was sitting with a group of friends chatting.

"Anita, this apprentice of yours is incredible!"

Cheng Long said with a smile and a sigh.

"Hehe, yeah, the student has surpassed the master."

Anita Mui smiled and said.

Cheng Long nodded after hearing this, his heart feeling very complicated.

He was currently the top martial arts star in all of Southeast Asia, and although he was incredibly famous, his career was facing a bottleneck!

Because if he wanted to go to the next level, he had to enter Hollywood.

But in these past few decades, besides Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, no other Chinese actor had been able to break out.

He didn't expect a six-year-old child to have gone to Hollywood without a word, and his first movie in Hollywood was as the lead!

Most importantly, it had already started a global release!

"By the way, I asked Mo Mo a few days ago, his movie's box office reached 290 million dollars."

Anita Mui added another sentence.

Her tone carried pride and smugness.

In the words of later generations, she was "flexing" her kid!

Hearing Anita Mui's words, Cheng Long touched his big nose awkwardly.

He was known as the big boss of the Xiangjiang film industry, and so far, his highest-grossing film was only over 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

While Chen Mo's was 290 million dollars!

How much would that be when converted to Hong Kong dollars?

He couldn't think about it; the more he thought, the more embarrassed and envious he felt.

"When you get a chance, ask the little guy when he's coming to Xiangjiang; I'll find some time to meet him and get to know him."

Cheng Long said.

Anita Mui nodded with a smile: "Sure, I'll contact him in a while and see."

Soon, a week passed.

*Home Alone* began to be released successively in other overseas countries.

In Xiangjiang.

In major theaters, *Home Alone* and *Shaolin Popey 3* were released simultaneously.

"Trouble, give me two tickets for *Home Alone*."

"I want one ticket for *Shaolin Popey*!"

"*Home Alone*, 2 tickets, thanks."

"Two tickets for *Shaolin Popey*."

The audience lined up one after another to buy tickets.

After buying tickets, they began to have their tickets checked to enter.

An hour and a half later...

The audience who watched *Shaolin Popey* and those who watched *Home Alone* came out of the screening halls at the same time.

Every audience member on the *Home Alone* side had a smile on their face.

"Haha, it cracked me up, those two bumbling thieves."

"This time little Mo Mo is the absolute lead, and he's even cuter than a year ago!"

"Yeah, I really want to hold him in my arms and squeeze him!"

"Hehe, the plot inside cracked me up." ===== CHAPTER 86 =====
