Chapter 498

"Hubby! Hurry up and have kids with me!"

As soon as Chen Mo appeared, a huge scream erupted throughout the entire crew.

One could see Chen Mo wrapped only in a bath towel around his waist, his perfect muscle definition stimulating everyone's visual nerves.

Coupled with his bronze skin and handsome face, many female staff members felt that even breathing was difficult.

Only now did they understand why men love looking at fair-skinned, beautiful women with long legs so much.

Having someone who looks good and has a great physique is simply a visual treat.

Everyone has a heart that appreciates beauty.

Chen Mo calmly turned on the bathroom shower, the water flow wetting his hair and running down every inch of his muscles.

Everyone's gaze followed the water droplets downward...

This won't do.

If they keep filming, someone on set will definitely faint from excitement.

"Cut! Prepare for the next scene!"

The director shouted excitedly.

Just the shot they filmed, as long as it airs, the ratings will absolutely explode!

Jun Ji-hyun took a deep breath.

Just as she wanted to stand up to film the next scene, she realized her legs had already gone weak.

Chen Mo was just too manly.

"Brother Mo, here's a towel."

Xu Xiaofeng handed the towel to Chen Mo, not daring to meet his eyes.

That scene just now was too intense.

She had many more fantasies in her heart as well.

Chen Mo gave a hum and took the towel, casually wiping his hair.

The next two scenes were Jun Ji-hyun's parts, so he could rest for a while.

Chen Mo took out his phone and looked at the news online out of boredom; after flipping through two pages, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"The Three-Body Problem timeline?"

He was browsing the Tianya Forum, where netizens were discussing the timeline of The Three-Body Problem.

The Three-Body Problem was a very powerful science fiction novel in China; it could be said that when the domestic sci-fi novel scene was barren, it was The Three-Body Problem that carved out a bloody path.

According to the timeline of The Three-Body Problem, 2007 was the beginning where everything started to unfold.

Because Chen Mo went to the United States very early on, many of the copyrights he acquired were for foreign novels and comics.

For example, Harry Potter and the Marvel series.

He had forgotten that many novels were starting to rise domestically now.

Especially in the last two years.

If he could acquire the copyrights to these novels, he could adapt them into film and television dramas once they were completed.

By then, creating related IPs would yield very considerable profits.

Moreover, these novels were still being serialized, so the copyright fees weren't very expensive; he could take this opportunity to acquire many novel copyrights in one fell swoop.

Having decided on his plan, Chen Mo immediately called Wang Jinghua.

"The Three-Body Problem? Ghost Blows Out the Light? Are you sure you want me to acquire the copyrights to these two novels?"

Wang Jinghua was very surprised on the phone.

She had never even heard the names of these novels.

If they were to acquire novel copyrights, they should be acquiring famous ones.

"Yes, especially The Three-Body Problem; no matter what, we must sign a contract with the author."

Chen Mo emphasized.

Right now, the first volume of The Three-Body Problem had just finished serialization, and the second volume wouldn't start serialization until 2008.

It was precisely the latter two volumes that made this novel a complete legend.

Da Liu would win all sorts of awards.

Therefore, buying the copyright now and signing with Da Liu was the best choice.

Seeing that Chen Mo had said so, Wang Jinghua didn't say anything else.

Since it could catch Chen Mo's eye, it meant these two novels must have their own merits.

A few days later, Chen Mo received a call from Wang Jinghua.

"Mo Mo, the copyright for Ghost Blows Out the Light has already been bought by us, and the author Tianxia Bachang is very willing to cooperate with us."

Wang Jinghua reported the situation to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo nodded.

He wasn't worried about Tianxia Bachang.

Originally, when Tianxia Bachang was writing the Ghost Blows Out the Light series, he never thought he would one day make this book a hit.

The Mo Mo Company was now the strongest entertainment company in the country.

With such a company buying his copyright and promising to adapt his novel into a film or television drama, Tianxia Bachang certainly wouldn't refuse.

"As for The Three-Body Problem, we are still communicating with the author, but it seems he has encountered a bottleneck while writing, so he cannot guarantee that he can finish the entire novel."

Wang Jinghua spoke truthfully.

"Sister Wang, help me arrange a meeting with the author; I will talk to him personally."

Chen Mo thought for a moment and spoke.

Right now, Da Liu had only finished the first novel, and he himself wasn't sure if he could finish the entire novel.

If he signed with the Mo Mo Company before finishing it, he would have to pay a huge amount in damages.

The current Da Liu was just an ordinary person.

It was normal for him to have concerns.

Wang Jinghua nodded on the other end of the phone and confirmed some details with Chen Mo before hanging up.

One day later, Mo Mo Company.

Da Liu sat in Chen Mo's office, looking somewhat uneasy.

He knew who Chen Mo was; after all, news about Chen Mo was everywhere in society now.

One could also see Chen Mo's figure on many channels when turning on the TV.

Even if he had no interest in the entertainment industry, under these circumstances, he still had a certain understanding of Chen Mo.

A handsome male star who was currently in the limelight.

"Hello, Da Liu."

Just as Da Liu was feeling somewhat at a loss, Chen Mo pushed open the office door and walked in.

"Hello."

Da Liu was stunned; he hadn't expected Chen Mo to be so easygoing.

"I heard you are still hesitating about selling the copyright?"

Chen Mo got straight to the point.

"Yes, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it."

Da Liu gave a bitter smile.

The creation of science fiction novels is different from other novels; it requires a basis of certain theoretical knowledge.

He was already feeling a bit strained regarding the creation of the second novel.

Recently, the plot had even hit a wall; he couldn't write out the relationship between Earth, the Trisolarans, and the universe.

After listening to Da Liu roughly explain where his plot was stuck, Chen Mo thought for a moment before speaking.

"Have you ever thought about the Dark Forest Theory?"
