Chapter 46

Conversely, on the *Shaolin Popey* side.

Although everyone had smiles on their faces, it was somewhat underwhelming.

The next day.

Reviews about the two movies appeared in the newspapers. ===== CHAPTER 87 =====

"*The Box Office Battle Between Shaolin Popey and Home Alone, Different Viewing Experiences!*"

"*The Hilarious Traps of Home Alone!*"

"*There is no harm without comparison!*"

Soon, the box office statistics for the two movies came out.

The first-day box office for *Home Alone* was 2.3 million Hong Kong dollars, while the first-day box office for *Shaolin Popey* was 2.2 million.

A difference of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars; the gap wasn't very large.

However, the second day's box office widened the gap!

The second day's box office for *Home Alone* reached 4.1 million Hong Kong dollars, while *Shaolin Popey* only had 1.9 million.

The third day...

The fourth day.

Looking at the box office gap between the two movies, everyone knew that Golden Harvest's *Shaolin Popey* had completely failed, defeated by the former lead of this series!

Reviews from major well-known film critics appeared in entertainment newspapers.

"The super-cute child star Chen Mo, who disappeared for a year, has returned with the Hollywood comedy *Home Alone*. It's still a comedy, a type suitable for all ages. A year of time did not diminish the looks of that super-cute child; instead, he is even cuter than before. Coupled with the cleverness displayed in the film at every moment, I simply love it!"

"An alternative comedy. Little Kevin, played by Chen Mo, is eye-catching. Perhaps most people are attracted by Chen Mo's looks, but what actually attracts me more is his acting. Compared to last year, his acting this year has shed its rawness and become more mature! As for *Shaolin Popey 3* produced by Golden Harvest, although the acting of Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen is not bad, the gap compared to Chen Mo is still very large!"

"Success because of Chen Mo! Failure because of Chen Mo! In 1990, Chen Mo's *Shaolin Popey* burst onto the scene, making everyone remember this cute kid. The subsequent second installment defeated the long-famous Cheng Long in last year's box office battle, and this year, he used a new movie to defeat his own famous series! This makes me realize that a good series of movies is sometimes not because of its excellent plot, but possibly because of a certain lead actor!"

These reviews made Chen Mo's fame explode in Xiangjiang once again!

On the other side, after seeing these reviews, Golden Harvest felt extremely complicated. They wanted to turn the reputation around, but they could only stare helplessly.

Soon, twenty days passed.

*Home Alone* finished its run in China's Xiangjiang and other countries.

This overseas premiere reached a total box office of 300 million dollars.

Added to the 290 million previously earned.

The total box office for this movie reached an astonishing 590 million dollars!

And when this data was released by Fox Film Corporation, it directly shocked everyone!

Because in the history of film development, there had never been a children's comedy movie with a box office reaching over 500 million dollars.

This directly broke the global box office record!

The record was broken, which made Chen Mo, whose reputation was already explosive, even more famous.

Huang Jinhaian.

Chen Mo's home.

At this moment, the system's voice rang in Chen Mo's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for the successful release of your first Hollywood movie, unlocking the 'Hollywood Newcomer' achievement, rewarding one system lottery chance.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for your movie being released in ten countries, unlocking the 'International Film Star I' achievement, rewarding one system lottery chance.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for your movie's box office breaking 100 million, unlocking the 'Box Office Expert II' achievement, rewarding one system lottery chance.]

With three consecutive notification sounds, Chen Mo, who was sitting in front of the sofa watching TV, immediately bloomed with a smile.

With a thought, Chen Mo silently recited: "Start the lottery."

[Ding! Lottery successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining Primary Free Fighting Skills.]

[Ding! Lottery successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining Intermediate Skateboard Skills.]

[Ding! Lottery successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining a 500-dollar cash reward, the cash has been deposited into the system backpack.]

"Mo Mo, time for school."

At this time, Chen Mu's voice came from the direction of the entryway.

"Coming."

Chen Mo grabbed his schoolbag and jumped off the sofa.

Although famous, he still couldn't avoid going to school.

Taking a car to school...

Ten minutes later, Chen Mo arrived at school.

Chen Mo got out of the car, carried his schoolbag, waved goodbye to Chen Mu, and turned to enter the school.

On the way to the classroom, many students in the school pointed at Chen Mo.

Clearly, Chen Mo, who had already made a name for himself in school, became even more famous in school because of the explosive popularity of *Home Alone*.

"He's so handsome!"

"I want him to be my boyfriend!"

"I heard people say that Asian men are very caring towards girls; is he like that too?"

"I want to confess to him! What do you think if I ask him out tonight?"

Whispers rang out all around.

Chen Mo directly ignored the discussions of those little girls and continued walking towards the classroom.

However, after walking only a few steps, an impact force came from behind, and Chen Mo stumbled.

Steadying his body, Chen Mo looked behind him, and then saw several children who looked two years older than him, holding a football and looking at him triumphantly.

Before Chen Mo could speak, these children burst into laughter and began to mock him.

"Haha, yellow-skinned monkey! Your body is so weak!"

"No wonder you could only use some tricks to defeat those two bumbling thieves (the plot in *Home Alone*)."

"Haha, it cracked me up!"

This world never lacks clowns.

Looking at the few children two years older than him, who were mocking him.

Chen Mo directly threw the schoolbag he was carrying onto the ground, and then walked towards these people.

And these children, seeing Chen Mo walk over, were not panicked at all, but continued to look at Chen Mo triumphantly.

After all, they were older than Chen Mo, and there were several of them.

But when Chen Mo walked to the side of the nearest person, he threw a punch.

Bang!

"Ah!"

A scream rang out.

Chen Mo, who had just obtained Primary Free Fighting Skills from the lottery today, displayed his free fighting skills.

This punch hit the child's weak point directly.

That child fell to the ground and screamed.

And the other children, seeing this, had their triumphant expressions instantly freeze, and then their expressions turned into anger, shouting and rushing towards Chen Mo.

In an instant, the few of them were fighting together.

Other children around, seeing this scene, gathered around one after another.

Five minutes later.

The teacher patrolling the school ran over.

Then they saw several children lying on the ground, while Chen Mo was raising his foot to kick one of the children who looked the oldest.

That young and cute face was now full of ferocity.

"Damn it! Stop! Stop!"

The teacher shouted hurriedly. ===== CHAPTER 88 =====
