Chapter 72

The release date was set for May...

He hoped Chen Mo could help with the promotion over the next two months.

Regarding Cameron’s request, Chen Mo thought about it and agreed.

So, for the next period, Chen Mo joined Cameron in various activities to promote the release of *Titanic*!

Outside.

Some actors, film companies, and even audiences were shocked upon seeing the promotion for *Titanic*!

Because the promotion revealed that the production cost of this film was as high as 200 million USD!

Such a production cost had never been seen in the history of cinema!

Additionally, during an event, Cameron stated in front of all the American reporters that *Titanic* was a film beyond measure.

Such exaggerated promotion certainly grabbed plenty of attention!

As a result, the name *Titanic* appeared in reports every single day!

"Cameron’s New Work! Two Hundred Million Investment! A Shocking Arrival in May!"

"Five Years Later! Chen Mo’s New Film!"

"Can love transcend race or even age? *Titanic* gives you the answer!"

For the next while, all of Hollywood was swept up in a storm called *Titanic*!

And some film producers who had scheduled their movies for the same release window were terrified!

There was no helping it!

The momentum of *Titanic* was simply too strong!

The promotional scale was like a thousand troops and horses!

On the other side.

Los Angeles, inside the house purchased by Cheng Long.

Last year, in '98, Cheng Long earned 225 million USD at the box office with *Rush Hour*, and the film won the Best Foreign Language Film award at this year's film awards.

Cheng Long’s status in Hollywood was no longer what it used to be!

If you asked Hollywood audiences to name three Chinese stars, they would definitely say Li Xiaolong, Chen Mo, and Cheng Long.

However, compared to the achievements Chen Mo had attained, Cheng Long felt a bit awkward.

After all, while he was still happy about his starring film earning over 200 million USD, 12-year-old Chen Mo was already participating in a film with a 200 million USD production cost!

The production cost was as much as the box office.

Comparing the two, Cheng Long had nothing but sighs in his heart.

Besides...

Thinking about his next film, Cheng Long found Mei Yanfang and asked for Chen Mo’s phone number.

He then called Chen Mo.

The call was answered quickly.

Chen Mo’s voice rang out: "Hello..."

Cheng Long smiled and said: "Mo Mo, it’s Cheng Long."

Chen Mo, on the other end, had just finished an event and was in a car heading to the hotel to rest.

"Brother Long, hello."

Chen Mo smiled.

Cheng Long laughed: "Do you have time in a while? Come and make a cameo in my movie?"

Hearing Cheng Long’s words, Chen Mo’s brows jumped.

Actually, when Cheng Long said his name, Chen Mo had already guessed it.

Thinking about his upcoming schedule for a moment, Chen Mo asked with a smile: "When does Brother Long’s movie start filming?"

"Around the end of this year. It’s just a cameo, it’ll take at most two days to finish," Cheng Long said.

Chen Mo smiled after hearing this: "Okay, Brother Long, just contact me when the time comes."

Cheng Long’s face immediately lit up with a smile.

The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up.

After hanging up, Chen Mo put down his phone.

Actually, he didn't need to guess; Chen Mo already knew what Cheng Long’s next film was.

*Rush Hour 2*.

In his past life, Cheng Long started filming the second one right after finishing the first *Rush Hour*.

Chen Mo agreed to the cameo because he was actually interested in the cast of the second film.

Joining in.

Of course, the current "International Zhang" hadn't gone international yet; she was still just jumping around domestically.

Last year, she won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress with a film by Zhang Yimou, and this year she was entering Hollywood for the first time by participating in Cheng Long’s *Rush Hour*. Following that, she gained some fame in Hollywood through Director Li An’s *Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon*, and subsequently started calling herself "International Zhang."

The most important thing was Zun Long.

To be honest, Zun Long was still Chen Mo’s idol.

Chen Mo had been too busy these past few years to get to know him.

Thinking about this, the car soon arrived at the hotel.

Chen Mo entered his hotel room, took a shower, and fell into a deep sleep.

Soon, May arrived.

After two months of promotion, *Titanic* began its theatrical run!

This release was simultaneous in five countries, including the UK and the United States!

On the day of the premiere, all the cast and crew of *Titanic*, including the leads and the director, arrived at the scene.

Everyone sat in the front, while critics and media reporters from various places sat behind them.

In other theaters across various countries, audiences who were interested in the film bought tickets to enter the halls.

Inside the theater.

In the best seats in the front row, Cameron sat in the middle, while Chen Mo and Kate sat on either side.

At this moment, Cameron, Kate, and Chen Mo were all feeling a bit nervous.

Although Chen Mo knew the results of *Titanic* from his past life, this version had changed because of the butterfly effect he caused!

While the plot was roughly the same, the lead actor had become him, and the story itself had also shifted.

So, Chen Mo felt a bit uncertain.

"It will definitely be a success!"

At this moment, Cameron’s voice came to his ears.

Chen Mo turned his head and saw Cameron clenching his fists, trying to cheer himself up.

Chen Mo couldn't help but smile.

"Hey, Chen Mo, do you have time to grab a meal together after the premiere ends?"

Kate, sitting on the other side of Cameron, said.

This girl hadn't walked out of the state of falling in love during the filming and still held some fantasies. Chen Mo felt that if he gave any indication, she might ignore worldly judgment and throw herself into his arms.

"Uh, no need. It’s too late, I need to go home. After all, I’m still just a kid, and my family worries about me," Chen Mo smiled.

Hearing Chen Mo’s words, Kate nodded, looking a bit dejected.

Just as they were talking, the lights in the theater suddenly went out.

Immediately after, the big screen in front lit up.

The movie started!

Watching the film begin, the small conversations in the theater vanished, and everyone started watching intently.

The movie began with several submarines over a shipwreck.

Then, with the appearance of the wreck and the survivor—the elderly Rose—the camera shifted under her narration, and the scene returned to those memories from decades ago.

The largest and most luxurious cruise ship in history!

*Titanic*!

Following the appearance of the shipwreck and the elderly Luo Si, the survivor, the camera shifted as she began her narration, returning the scene to those memories from decades ago.

The largest and most luxurious cruise ship in history!

The Titanic!
