Chapter 487

Since she started acting, this was the first time she had encountered such a massive public opinion storm.

For a moment, she was somewhat thrown off balance.

She had absolutely no idea what she should do.

"If we come forward ourselves to clarify this matter, it certainly won't work. The best way is to have an outsider help us clarify it."

As he spoke, Chen Mo shifted his gaze toward Copperfield.

"Tell me, what do you need me to do? I will help as much as I can with whatever I can assist with."

Copperfield understood Chen Mo's meaning in a second.

"It's very simple. You just need to record a video of us practicing magic tricks here, and then post it online with a teasing comment."

Chen Mo shrugged.

"It's that simple?"

Copperfield found it somewhat hard to believe.

Even Hathaway holding a press conference was having trouble clearing their names; was it enough for him to just record a video?

Although Copperfield did not understand Chen Mo's intention, since Chen Mo had requested it, he followed Chen Mo's instructions and did so.

He first filmed a video of Chen Mo and the others practicing magic, then posted a teasing message.

"Maybe this is what everyone calls a party, but I don't even know when a party was held at my house."

After Copperfield finished editing, he posted it.

At first, no one realized who the people in the video Copperfield posted were, and no one even understood what Copperfield was talking about.

Until someone discovered Chen Mo in his video.

Everyone finally realized in a flash that the castle was actually Copperfield's home!

Wang Jinghua had also been waiting for Chen Mo's instructions on her end.

Seeing that the tweet Copperfield posted had triggered reactions from many netizens, Chen Mo called Wang Jinghua again.

He told her to immediately spend money to buy a trending topic.

There was no need to say anything; just pushing up the message Copperfield posted was enough.

Originally, people all over the world were just watching the drama.

Once they saw that the world-renowned master magician Copperfield was also connected to Chen Mo and the others, many people immediately paid attention to the content Copperfield posted.

They had originally thought that by clicking in, they would see some explosive content.

As it turned out, the moment they clicked in, they saw the scene of Hathaway and the others clumsily practicing magic.

All the onlookers were left bewildered.

What does this mean??

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Mo quickly had Wang Jinghua announce another wave of "Now You See Me," promoting some of the film's concepts.

Only then did the public finally understand.

"This big misunderstanding is really too funny."

"Who would have thought that outsiders assumed Chen Mo and the others were partying wildly inside, when in reality, they were just practicing magic tricks."

"Is the Momo Company actually going to film a movie about magicians?"

"I'm looking forward to it so much."

"So the actors were working hard practicing for the movie, and the outside world just made up rumors like that?"

After many netizens understood what had happened, the first thing they did was to clear Chen Mo and the others' names.

After all, they were just properly preparing for a new movie and had been unfairly saddled with such a huge blame.

The most innocent one was Copperfield; he had clearly just taught four stars some simple magic performances, but unexpectedly, he was rumored to have other uses for his apartment.

It was too absurd.

Onlookers all over the world voiced their support for Chen Mo and the others.

They demanded an apology from the paparazzi who leaked the photos.

On the other side, Chen Mo did not go soft at all, directly having Wang Jinghua sue those media companies that were the first to publish the news photos.

Chen Mo's intention was very simple.

If they couldn't win the lawsuit, they would keep suing, no matter how much money it cost, until they won.

Moreover, in the United States, regulations vary between states, and there were states that had closer relations with Chen Mo.

Coupled with the fact that the jury itself believed Chen Mo was the party in the right, Chen Mo won this lawsuit directly.

Those paparazzi and media companies paid huge sums in damages for defamation.

For a time, there had been many paparazzi following Chen Mo, but after being sued like this, the number of paparazzi dropped instantly; they were all afraid of being sued by Chen Mo and didn't dare to follow him anymore.

"Wow, it was actually completely resolved."

Looking at the completely reversed public opinion, Hathaway's eyes lit up.

"Yeah, and it also incidentally promoted 'Now You See Me.' Now, many people all over the world are expressing anticipation for this movie."

Will also said excitedly.

Before the actors had even joined the crew, "Now You See Me" was the first movie to have gained so much popularity globally.

This meant that the movie's box office would certainly not be bad when the time came.

"Not bad, but this is also a double-edged sword at the same time."

Chen Mo spoke up suddenly.

The others understood what Chen Mo meant; this was indeed a double-edged sword.

Now that the movie had caused such a stir because of the public opinion, almost everyone in the world knew that Chen Mo and the others were filming this movie, and they also knew that they had spent two months in advance to prepare for the filming.

They went to find the world's most famous magician, Copperfield, to learn magic.

If the movie turned out to be mediocre when it was released, they would definitely be scolded by the audience.

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment would be.

"Let's hurry up and practice; I don't want to hold everyone back during filming."

Hathaway shrugged.

The others also intensified their practice again.

On the other side, domestically.

"Ghost Blows Out the Light" had already been edited and had entered the final stage of promotion.

Because a TV series with a tomb-raiding theme like "Ghost Blows Out the Light" had not yet appeared within China, this was the first TV series produced by Momo Company, and major satellite TV stations were still in a wait-and-see mode.

If this were a more mainstream-themed TV series, Mango TV would definitely have snatched up the premiere directly.

It was just that it was a tomb-raiding theme, and they really weren't sure if it would be popular.

When Wang Jinghua called Chen Mo about this matter, Chen Mo was resting in his room.

"It's fine, if it can't be broadcast on TV, then just stream it exclusively on Penguin Video."

Chen Mo said indifferently.

It was an attempt to begin with, so Chen Mo wouldn't force it.

Seeing Chen Mo being so open-minded, Wang Jinghua felt relieved instead.

Otherwise, she really wouldn't have known how to tell Chen Mo about this matter.

"Proceed with the promotion as usual, and finalize all the details."

Chen Mo gave an instruction.

Wang Jinghua naturally knew these things; she nodded and went on to schedule the release and promote "Ghost Blows Out the Light."

A week later, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" premiered on Penguin Video.

Four episodes were released at once.

The attracted audience was mostly Chen Mo's fans and book fans.

At the very beginning, book fans felt that the casting of the Iron Triangle was very spot-on; the choices for the three people were too good, and it was exactly the vibe from the book.

As the plot deepened, they realized that it wasn't just the casting that was good.

The most important thing was that the plot was truly a divine restoration.
