Chapter 61

~6 min read 1,062 words

*Shaolin Popey*, which had been ranked third since its release, leaped to first place! It directly surpassed *Operation Condor*'s daily box office by 400,000 with a box office of 2.6 million!

This change made the people and companies who were paying attention to this box office battle stunned!

Subsequently, some companies immediately began to conduct investigations!

After the investigation, everyone discovered that the reason *Shaolin Popey*'s box office had suddenly surpassed the others was because Chen Mo had appeared on the Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve the day before yesterday, which led many audience members to recognize him, and subsequently, some people discovered his movie.

February 18th, *Shaolin Popey*'s daily box office still occupied first place!

February 19th, *Shaolin Popey*'s daily box office was first!

February 20th.

In the villa where Mei Yanfang was, a group of Mei Yanfang's friends gathered here.

At this moment, Mei Yanfang's delicate and slightly heroic face was full of smiles, and her almond-shaped eyes looked with playfulness at Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, and Zhang Guorong, who were sitting opposite her.

"How is it? Defeated by my apprentice, do you have anything to say?"

Mei Yanfang's lips curled up as she said with a smile.

Hearing Mei Yanfang's words, the three opposite smiled somewhat awkwardly.

Especially Brother Long.

Although he couldn't compare to the first two in the music industry, he was absolutely a pyramid-level existence in the film industry!

However, he had actually lost to a five-year-old child in this box office battle.

This feeling was like a martial arts alliance leader losing a martial arts competition to a small child!

"The younger generation is formidable, when you have time, lend me your apprentice."

Brother Long smiled and shook his head.

Hearing Brother Long's words, Mei Yanfang smiled: "I'll see how I feel."

"Yanfang, before I said I wanted to sign Momo, what do you think about this matter?"

Andy Lau said at this moment.

Andy Lau's words made the smile on Mei Yanfang's face stiffen.

If it were before, Mei Yanfang would definitely have helped Andy Lau sign Chen Mo.

But now that Chen Mo had become her apprentice, Mei Yanfang liked this child from the bottom of her heart and treated him as her own "child."

Then in that case, Mei Yanfang had to reconsider whether to let Chen Mo join Andy Lau's company.

Although Andy Lau already had a certain reputation and status in Hong Kong, he was still somewhat lacking compared to some giants.

"Andy Lau, Momo is too young."

Mei Yanfang said.

Hearing Mei Yanfang's words, Andy Lau understood what Mei Yanfang meant.

He smiled and nodded, saying no more.

Soon, the time arrived in March.

The four films competing in this Spring Festival slot were taken off the shelves one after another.

Because Chen Mo participated in the Spring Festival Gala, *Shaolin Popey* became the dark horse of this Spring Festival slot!

It directly became the first place in this Spring Festival slot with a box office of 39.8 million!

After the film was taken off the shelves, Golden Harvest immediately arranged for people to start producing discs to sell throughout the Southeast Asian region!

And Chen Fu took Chen Mo to Xiangjiang once after the film was taken off the shelves.

Upon arriving in Xiangjiang, Chen Fu left Chen Mo with Mei Yanfang, while he himself connected with Golden Harvest to handle the box office share.

March 10th.

Kindergarten started.

Chen Mo, who had stayed in Xiangjiang for ten days, returned to Jingcheng.

For this box office share of *Shaolin Popey*, Chen Fu's side held a 35% stake, so after this share, they obtained 13 million Hong Kong dollars!

Converted to RMB, it was 11 million, and after deducting taxes, they received a total of 8.4 million in hand.

Jingcheng.

Chen Mo's home.

At this moment, Chen Mo went to kindergarten, and only Chen Fu and Chen Mu were left at home.

The two sat on the sofa.

On the tea table in front of them were two bankbooks; these two were the income from Chen Mo's first filming of *Shaolin Popey* and this time's filming of *Shaolin Popey*.

Adding them up, it was a little over ten million!

Over ten million!

"Husband, are we dreaming?"

Chen Mu's voice trembled slightly.

Chen Fu lit a cigarette, and then looked at Chen Mu with a somewhat disdainful look in his eyes.

"Look at your lack of ambition, you're this excited over just this much money?"

Chen Fu said with disdain.

In reality, when he was in Xiangjiang connecting with Golden Harvest and learned that he could get such a large share, he almost knelt down in excitement.

It wasn't until he stayed in Xiangjiang for ten days and returned to Jingcheng that he calmed down.

"Look at how you're showing off! This is money my son earned!"

Seeing Chen Fu's disdainful look, Chen Mu immediately glared at him.

Chen Fu: "..."

Having been retorted by Chen Mu until he had nothing to say, Chen Mu felt much more comfortable in her heart, and then she thought of something, a look of complexity appearing on her face.

A moment later, Chen Mu said: "Husband, I feel that Momo is too tired."

Chen Fu was stunned upon hearing this.

Chen Mu continued: "Ever since he ran away from home last time, Momo seems to have grown up overnight; although he is still a bit childish sometimes, other times he is like a little adult, completely not looking like a child, and I wonder if he is too tired."

"You say Momo is so small, is it appropriate for us to let Momo film movies? After all, filming is day and night."

"We are also only just thirty, this ten million plus was all earned by our son, and I feel awkward in my heart; it should be us earning money for our son to enjoy."

Saying this, Chen Mu's eyes became somewhat moist.

And after Chen Fu heard Chen Mu's words, he took out a cigarette case from his pocket, lit a cigarette, and took a puff.

He frowned tightly, pondered for a long time, and said: "You're right, we can't let Momo be like this; wife, don't worry, tomorrow I will properly work on my career! Let our son become a rich second generation!"

"Mm." ===== CHAPTER 63 =====
