Chapter 78

Chen Mo agreed with this in his heart, so he didn't say anything more.

Then Chen Fu took Chen Mo into the building to start touring.

The building had 11 floors in total, with the first floor being the security and reception hall, the second to fourth floors being the film and television department, the fifth to eighth floors being the music department, and the ninth floor being several recording studios and film editing rooms.

The tenth floor had several large and small conference rooms, and the top floor had offices for some senior management personnel.

After touring the building, it was almost afternoon.

The two had dinner at the company.

While eating, Chen Fu said: "Son, our company can basically operate now. We’ll promote it to the public in a few days."

Chen Mo said: "Mm, okay, sign me on then."

Since his debut, Chen Mo had never signed with any company. If it was publicly announced that Chen Mo had signed with a company, that in itself would be a promotion.

Chen Fu nodded after hearing this.

Then the two chatted while eating.

After finishing dinner, Chen Fu drove Chen Mo back home.

Soon, three days passed.

Mo Mo Company was officially publicly listed and established!

Companies and individuals who had collaborated with Chen Fu or Chen Mo, such as Fox, Warner, Universal, Cameron, Michael Jackson, etc., all came in person or sent representatives to express goodwill.

And on this day, Chen Fu, as the chairman of Mo Mo Entertainment, announced to the public that his son, Chen Mo, was the first artist signed to Mo Mo Company.

After this news was released, media reporters reported it extensively.

News could be seen everywhere in newspapers or on the already popular and developed internet!

For a time, the name of Mo Mo Company was heard by many people.

Soon, another month passed.

In September, Chen Mo’s latest single "Company" was released.

As soon as the single was released, it attracted many of Chen Mo’s fans.

In just one day, the single landed at number six on the Billboard Pop Music Chart.

And in the following days, the ranking continued to rise, but it couldn't go any higher after reaching number two.

There was no helping it, because number one was the theme song of *Titanic*, "My Heart Will Go On."

Because of *Titanic*, this song had dominated the number one spot for ten weeks.

Chen Mo’s "Company" couldn't beat it at all.

However, it wasn't a big problem, because the performance of "Company" was already considered very good, making Chen Mo’s status in the music industry more stable, and Chen Mo had achieved his goal.

On the other side...

Chris Columbus had finished the auditions and selected the actors.

At the same time, the crew he had assembled, with the assistant director and staff, had also selected the filming locations and completed some location scouting.

After these preliminary preparations were done, Chris Columbus found Chen Mo.

Upon learning that Chris Columbus had completed all the preparatory work, Chen Mo immediately indicated that they could start filming.

Mid-September...

Chris Columbus took the crew and all the actors to the filming location, the UK.

Chen Mo didn't go with them but arrived at the filming location a day later.

After arriving at the filming location, Chen Mo saw the actors Chris Columbus had selected for the first time.

"Everyone, introduce yourselves."

In a temporary conference room set up at the filming location, Chris Columbus said to the actors sitting below.

Hearing Chris’s words, everyone looked at Chen Mo first.

Because among the entire cast, Chen Mo naturally had the biggest fame.

Chen Mo stood up with a smile and said: "Hello everyone, I’m Chen Mo, a Chinese actor, and I play Harry in *Harry Potter*."

After the introduction, Chen Mo sat down, and then a little blonde girl stood up and said: "Hello everyone, my name is Emma Watson, I’m a British actress, and I play Hermione."

Hearing this introduction, Chen Mo glanced at the little blonde girl.

The little girl smiled slightly at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo also nodded with a smile.

Then a little red-headed boy stood up and said nervously: "Hello everyone, my name is Rupert, I... I play... I’m a British actor, I play Ron."

"Hello everyone..."

Everyone introduced themselves one by one.

After a simple introduction meeting, Chris Columbus let everyone take the script and start reading through it.

Reading through the script was actually very simple; everyone just acted out the play roughly according to their lines.

Not to mention whether they acted well or not, but it could increase their understanding of the play.

After finishing the script reading, it was already afternoon.

Chris Columbus signaled for a break, and they would officially start filming tomorrow morning!

Then everyone dispersed.

Because most of them were child actors, many had never acted before and were full of curiosity about tomorrow’s filming and the crew.

So, on the way back to the hotel, the actors were chatting away.

Many of the child actors were chatting while looking at Chen Mo, who was walking ahead alone.

Among those present, even the adult actors didn't have as much fame as Chen Mo!

Especially some child actors who had watched *Titanic* looked at Chen Mo with envy.

You have to know that Kate, who played Rose, was a great beauty.

Chen Mo had such close contact with her, it was truly enviable!

"Chen Mo, I’m your fan, can I have your autograph?"

On Chen Mo’s side, a crisp voice came to his ears.

Chen Mo paused and looked over, seeing little Emma standing by his side with a notebook and a pen from somewhere, looking at him with expectation.

"Oh, of course."

Chen Mo nodded with a smile.

He reached out to take the notebook and pen, and then started writing in it.

"Wishing Ms. Emma Watson to become a film queen in the future."

After writing this sentence, Chen Mo wrote his Chinese name below it.

Emma happily took the notebook and said thank you with a smile.

And at this moment, other child actors who were Chen Mo’s fans also gathered around.

Chen Mo walked toward the hotel while signing autographs for everyone.

After finishing the autographs, Chen Mo arrived at the hotel.

The next day, early in the morning, Chen Mo and the crew went to the filming location to shoot.

Because Chen Mo was three years older than the others and slightly taller, fortunately, his appearance didn't look old, so it didn't seem like a big problem.

After changing into their costumes, Chris Columbus began to explain the scenes to the actors who were about to film.

Because Chen Mo had the most experience, he also helped Chris explain the scenes to everyone.

After explaining, they officially started filming!

"*Harry Potter*, Act 1, Scene 1, everyone in position, three... two... one... start!"

Click!

The sound of the clapperboard rang out.

However, a few seconds later, Chris called for a stop.

There was no helping it; only Chen Mo had filmed before, and those child actors had no experience, so in the first scene, they stood in the wrong position, facing the back of their heads toward the camera.

"Do it again."

Chris Columbus shouted.

PS: Whether to sign Emma, actually, I’m quite conflicted. The current arrangement for Emma is to sign her to the company. The later romantic scenes with her depend on you readers. If you have any thoughts, you can leave a comment in the comment section.
