Chapter 74

The fourth day.

The fifth day.

For the next period, *Titanic* dominated the North American box office, and many films released during the same period were beaten back, with their box office numbers dropping again and again!

During the theatrical run of *Titanic*, Fox and several other companies began preparing for overseas release plans.

The release dates for countries in Southeast Asia were set for early June, while other countries were scheduled between mid-May and early June.

After launching the overseas release plan, Fox contacted Chen Mo and Kate, hoping both could travel to various countries for promotion.

Chen Mo refused directly.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go, but with the impending internet economic bubble of the new millennium, Chen Mo was worried about his unreliable father and wanted to stay home to keep an eye on him.

Chen Mo’s refusal disappointed Fox, but they didn't say much, so they could only take Kate to promote in various countries.

Just like that, early June arrived.

*Titanic* was released in overseas countries, while in North America, after nearly a month of screening, it officially ended its run.

From the first day of release until now, the cumulative box office of *Titanic* reached 1 billion USD!

It directly broke the box office record in film history!

Several investment companies made a fortune, Cameron’s fame rose again, and the same went for Chen Mo.

Everyone got what they wanted!

On the other side.

During this time, Chen Fu began selling his company shares in batches.

As the leading enterprise in internet search engines, countless companies were scrambling to acquire the shares Chen Fu held.

In short, everything was developing according to Chen Mo’s plan!

July.

Chen Mo, who was staying at home, received a call from Cheng Long.

"Chen Mo, my crew has started filming. When can you come over?"

Cheng Long asked with a smile over the phone.

Hearing Cheng Long’s words, Chen Mo smiled: "Brother Long, send me the address, and I’ll come over in a few days."

"Haha, good, give me a call before you come."

After a brief conversation, the two hung up.

Shortly after, Chen Mo received the text message from Cheng Long.

Chen Mo opened the message, checked the address, and then put his phone away.

The next day.

Chen Mo didn't go to Cheng Long’s crew but instead went to Chen Fu’s company.

Upon arriving at Chen Fu’s office.

Chen Fu, seeing Chen Mo arrive, asked with some confusion: "Why are you here?"

"Hehe, Dad, just came to see you."

Chen Mo smiled.

A look of gratification appeared on Chen Fu’s face; his son had actually come to see him on his own initiative, and he felt a little moved.

"By the way, that copyright you mentioned a few days ago has been bought."

Chen Fu said, remembering something.

Hearing Chen Fu’s words, Chen Mo felt a surge of joy.

"Did you buy all the heroes?"

"Mm, bought them all. Son, let me tell you, this stuff really isn't cheap. Guess how much I spent."

Chen Fu smiled.

Chen Mo asked: "How much?"

Chen Fu held up five fingers.

"Fifty million USD!"

Chen Mo heard this and didn't think it was expensive.

You have to know how much money this Marvel series earned for the Marvel company!

Just *Avengers: Endgame* alone earned Marvel 2.8 billion USD at the box office!

And the production cost of that film was only 360 million USD!

What a multiple of profit!

"By the way, son, what do you think I should do after I sell all the shares I have?"

Chen Fu asked again.

"Dad, I’m only 13. Don't you think it’s strange to talk to me about this?"

Chen Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes at Chen Fu.

In reality, Chen Mo was also thinking about what his father should invest in.

"What do you think about me starting a film company?"

Chen Fu didn't care about Chen Mo’s words and continued to ask.

"Whatever... anyway, our family has plenty of money now, just don't squander it all."

Chen Mo said.

After saying this, Chen Mo stood up: "Dad, I’m leaving first."

"Oh, okay."

Chen Mo turned and left the office.

A week later.

Chen Mo headed to Cheng Long’s crew.

Upon learning that Chen Mo was coming, Cheng Long personally took people to wait outside the set.

When Chen Mo’s car arrived and he stepped out, Cheng Long walked up with a smile.

"Haha, Xiao Mo, welcome, welcome."

Cheng Long greeted him with a smile.

"Hehe, Brother Long, you’re too kind."

Chen Mo smiled again.

After speaking, Chen Mo’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a woman next to Cheng Long.

The woman wasn't old, looking to be in her early twenties, with a melon-seed face, large eyes, and an indescribable air of arrogance between her brows.

This woman was the famous "International Zhang" of the future.

However, at the moment, she was just an unknown actress who had just entered Hollywood.

"Chen Mo, hello, I’m your fan. My name is Zhang Ziyi, and I’m also an actress."

Zhang Ziyi extended her fair little hand with a smile on her face.

Chen Mo also extended his hand, shook hers, and then let go: "Hello."

Chen Mo’s attitude toward Zhang Ziyi was neither cold nor warm.

But Zhang Ziyi was very enthusiastic toward Chen Mo.

She looked at her hand that had just been held and said half-jokingly: "Oh my, I didn't expect to be able to hold my idol’s hand. If our domestic fans knew, they would be so envious."

Hearing Zhang Ziyi’s words, Chen Mo smiled again, while Cheng Long interjected: "Xiao Mo, let’s go, let’s go inside and talk."

"Mm, okay, Brother Long."

Chen Mo nodded.

Then the group walked toward the set.

Cheng Long’s crew had many Chinese people. Although the staff had heard rumors that Chen Mo would come for a cameo, seeing him arrive in person caused a flurry of discussion.

After all, with the release of *Titanic*, Chen Mo was now famous worldwide and had quite a few fans!

"So this is Chen Mo, he looks even more handsome than in the movie!"

"Look at that face, and the key is that his acting is also good!"

"Yeah! I watched *Titanic*, his acting is impeccable, I feel it’s even better than those who went to acting school."

The person who said this secretly thought of a certain actress on the set.

"Alright, say less, if she hears us, we’ll be in trouble."
