Chapter 57

And Chen Mo only needed to cooperate with the promotion and record the songs.

After reaching an agreement, both sides signed the contract the next day.

Afterward, the Warner representatives hurriedly left Chen Mo's villa.

Three days later...

Chen Mo started recording the songs.

The recording location was at Warner Music, because Warner Music had the world's most advanced recording studios and many top-tier master teachers.

After arriving at Warner Music, Chen Mo was taken to the recording studio, and then the Warner representative came over to talk with Chen Mo.

"Uh, Chen... Chen Mo, an album needs at least ten songs, so we have re-collected nine songs for you, and your *BABY* will be the lead single. The copyright for those nine songs will be with us. How about that?"

The Warner representative said.

Chen Mo thought about it for a moment and nodded directly: "Okay."

"Alright, please wait a moment."

Saying this, the Warner representative turned and left.

Not long after, the Warner representative came back with the other nine songs and a music director.

After a brief introduction by both sides, Chen Mo took the nine songs and looked at them roughly first.

The quality of these nine songs varied, and Chen Mo hadn't heard the song titles in his previous life.

Chen Mo didn't care about this.

After all, an album having one lead single and the others just being freebies was simply too normal!

Not only would the singer not find it strange, but the listeners wouldn't either.

You have to know, there aren't that many high-quality songs.

So after getting familiar with the nine songs, Chen Mo began recording.

The recording process was boring, and one could even say it was tiring.

Because a song needed to be sung repeatedly many times, and then the best version had to be selected from the many versions.

In the following time, Chen Mo went to Warner Music during the day and returned home at night to continue practicing.

And during the time Chen Mo was recording the songs, Warner announced the news that Chen Mo was about to release an album.

This news only caused a ripple in the vast ocean of North America.

But Chen Mo's die-hard fans immediately paid attention after learning that Chen Mo was going to release an album.

On the internet...

It had become increasingly rich in the past few years due to the rise of the internet.

And forums began to appear!

In one forum called "Protect the Best Him," this forum was specially built for Chen Mo by his die-hard fans.

Inside, there were many teenage girl fans and mom fans.

"Oh! God! Mo Mo is going to release an album!"

"Really or fake? Today isn't April Fool's Day! And this joke isn't funny at all!"

"I swear on my life! Warner Music released the news five minutes ago, you can see it online now!"

"God! It's actually true!"

"Ah! Mo Mo is going to release an album! My Mo Mo is going to release an album! I want to buy it! I will definitely buy it!"

"Finally, I can see Mo Mo!"

The originally calm forum exploded instantly.

Time passed very quickly...

In a flash, a month passed.

August '97, after a month, all of Chen Mo's songs were finished recording, and next was the post-production. In addition, Warner Music officially began external promotion!

As expected of North America's number one record company, once the official external promotion started, overwhelming promotion was carried out in rounds of bombardment.

Whether it was radio or the internet that had risen in recent years, promotional ads for Chen Mo's new album could be seen everywhere!

And under this intensity of promotion, more and more people began to pay attention to Chen Mo's new album.

At the same time, during this period, many paparazzi appeared again in places Chen Mo often frequented, starting to sneak photos of Chen Mo.

Those sneak photos were put on the internet, and some were printed in newspapers, and for a time, Chen Mo's fame rose greatly.

Everything seemed to have returned to four years ago, back to the time when Chen Mo first won the Best Comedy Actor award!

Mid-August...

The post-production of the album had been completed.

Chen Mo went to Warner Music once to listen to the finished album.

It took more than half an hour to listen to all ten songs, and finally, Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction.

The Warner Music representative next to him saw Chen Mo nod and said with a smile: "Chen... you can rest assured about Warner's quality, it's definitely the top-tier production. Also, do you have any thoughts on signing with our company?"

Chen Mo listened and a smile hung on his refined face: "I don't have the final say on signing. After all, I'm only 11 years old. You need to ask my mom about this."

"Uh, yes... yes."

The Warner representative nodded with a smile, a flash of disappointment welling up in his heart.

He had originally thought that by taking advantage of Chen Mo's young age and the fact that his parents weren't around, he could say some nice things to get Chen Mo to agree verbally, so that he would have the initiative when negotiating with Chen Mu later. He didn't expect Chen Mo to push it to his mom in one sentence.

"By the way, we tentatively decided to name this album after the first song."

The Warner representative said again at this time.

"No... I don't want to use that name, I hope to change the name to *Green Plum*."

Chen Mo said.

The Warner representative was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding the meaning of "Green Plum."

And at this moment, Chen Mo's mind thought of the two little girls from the first year of his rebirth.

After several years, their memories of him were probably gradually blurring; he didn't know if they still remembered him.

"Uh, what is the meaning of 'Green Plum'?"

The Warner representative asked.

Chen Mo explained the general meaning of "Green Plum."

Hearing Chen Mo's explanation, the Warner representative immediately understood and nodded: "Okay, then that will be the name."

After all, the song *BABY* tells the story of a boy's confession to a girl he has a crush on, and coupled with Chen Mo's current age, using "Green Plum" as the album name for this song was most appropriate.

"Then take some time in these few days to shoot the album cover. By the way, I suggest shooting an MV."

"Hmm, of course."

After the two talked for a while, Chen Mo left Warner Music.

The next day...

Chen Mo came to Warner Music again.

First, he took a few photos suitable for the album, and then began shooting the MV.

Chen Mo performed in the MV shooting himself. He played an ordinary little boy who was just beginning to understand love, who liked a girl he had grown up with, and wanted to confess to her, but because of his shyness, he never dared to speak up.

Although the story was very ordinary, it was very suitable for the mood of the song *BABY*.

So in the following time, Chen Mo began the MV shooting.

Because Chen Mo's acting skills were powerful, the progress of the MV shooting was very fast, and it was completed in less than a week.

And after the shooting was completed, the system's voice rang out in Chen Mo's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for shooting your first MV. Unlocked the "MV Newcomer" achievement. Reward: one system lottery chance.]

Listening to the system's voice, Chen Mo's mind stirred.

"Start lottery."

[Ding! Lottery successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Top-tier Street Dance Skills.]

The system's reward notification made Chen Mo stunned for a moment.

This was the second time he had received a top-tier reward since he got the system.

The previous one was top-tier appearance, and this time it was top-tier street dance.

If he got primary basketball skills, could he introduce himself in the future as a certain trainee who has been practicing for more than ten years and likes dancing and playing basketball?
