Chapter 79

Filming continued.

For the next period, Chen Mo spent his time in such filming.

Unlike filming *Titanic*, this play was funded by Chen Fu, and every retake was a waste of money.

This made Chen Mo feel a bit heartbroken.

But there was no helping it, just take it slow.

Half a month later, the filming progress had accelerated slightly, and some actors had gained some experience.

Additionally, the scenes here had been filmed, and the crew needed to go to another filming location.

On the way to the next filming location.

Chen Mo was sitting in the car when Emma Watson leaned over.

"Chen Mo, I heard Grandpa Dumbledore say that the most important thing in acting is to 'get into character.' What does 'get into character' mean?"

Emma Watson asked in confusion.

The "Grandpa Dumbledore" she referred to was Richard Harris, who played Dumbledore in the play.

"Mm, simply put, getting into character means integrating your emotions into the role you are playing. To put it magically, it means you are Hermione, and I am Harry. In your eyes, you and I are first-year students with magic, while they are Muggles."

Chen Mo said, pointing to the pedestrians walking on the street outside the window.

Hearing Chen Mo’s words, Emma Watson bit her lip, a look of thought appearing on her face.

And Chen Mo, looking at Emma Watson’s appearance, pondered in his heart.

A few seconds later, Chen Mo said: "By the way, have any companies been looking to sign you recently?"

Emma Watson was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Mm, yes."

Ever since the media learned she was playing Hermione in *Harry Potter*, some talent agencies had found her and her mother, hoping to sign her.

"Then do you want to join my family’s company? My dad is planning to make this movie into a series."

Chen Mo said.

Hearing Chen Mo’s words, Emma Watson nodded hurriedly: "Okay, okay."

She was young now and didn't really understand what signing with a company meant. As for why she was so excited, it was entirely because she could join Chen Mo’s company.

"Okay, then I’ll contact my dad later and have him discuss it with your mother."

Chen Mo smiled.

In his past life, Emma Watson became a globally famous young Hollywood actress relying on the *Harry Potter* film series.

Later, she solidified her status in Hollywood with *Beauty and the Beast*.

Signing Emma Watson now could be considered an investment.

"Mm, okay."

Emma Watson nodded excitedly.

Half a day later.

The crew arrived at the second filming location, and filming continued.

Time passed bit by bit.

For the next period, Chen Mo had been busy with the *Harry Potter* crew.

Additionally, he took the time to tell Chen Fu about signing Emma Watson, and Chen Fu contacted Emma’s mother directly to discuss it.

Finally, Chen Fu signed Emma Watson for 10 million USD.

The contract was for ten years!

The breach of contract penalty was 100 million USD.

After the signing was successful, Chen Mo became even more friendly toward Emma Watson.

He would teach her some small acting tips from time to time.

After all, she was an actress in his own company; if she improved, the company could make more money.

Soon, November arrived.

Christmas was coming soon.

During Christmas, the crew gave everyone a three-day break.

During the break, Chen Mo returned to Los Angeles.

Arriving home, Chen Fu, Chen Mu, and the Liu mother and daughter were sitting at the dining table eating.

Seeing Chen Mo return, everyone was happy.

"Why didn't you tell us in advance when you were coming back? Go wash your hands and eat quickly."

Chen Mu hurriedly stood up and said with a smile.

"Mm, okay."

Chen Mo agreed with a smile and walked toward the bathroom.

After washing his hands and returning, Chen Mo sat at the dining table and then winked at Liu Yifei, who was sitting opposite him.

Liu Yifei had a smile on her face, but she hummed lightly.

She looked like a little spoiled brat.

Seeing Liu Yifei’s appearance, Chen Mo couldn't help but smile.

When did this girl become so spoiled?

Finding it funny, Chen Mo started burying his head in his rice.

After finishing the meal, everyone sat on the sofa and started chatting.

However, at this moment, Chen Fu’s phone suddenly rang.

Chen Fu took out his phone, answered the call, and after hearing what the person inside said, his brows furrowed.

"Okay, I know, I’ll go take a look tomorrow."

He hung up the phone.

Chen Mu, seeing Chen Fu’s expression, asked in confusion: "What’s wrong?"

Chen Fu sighed: "Old Jack jumped off a building."

"What?"

Chen Mu’s face changed instantly.

Old Jack was a business friend Chen Fu met after coming to Los Angeles. Both were in the internet business, but Chen Fu’s was bigger, while Old Jack’s was smaller, and his net worth was only a few million.

Last year and the first half of this year, the internet was expanding, but Chen Fu sold his shares at that time, which even led Old Jack to mock him.

But no one expected that starting from October this year, the bubble that had expanded to its maximum had burst!

The internet economic bubble burst.

Old Jack went from a net worth of several million to nothing. Not only was his house repossessed by the bank, but he now owed a lot of money.

Just today, on Christmas Day, he jumped off a building and committed suicide!

"Sigh, this internet stuff is too scary, it changes like a Sichuan opera mask, changing whenever it wants."

Chen Mu said with a complex tone.

After saying this, a look of relief appeared on her face.

And Chen Fu also nodded.

If he hadn't listened to Chen Mo, he might have been an Old Jack himself.

"This time, thanks to our son, otherwise it would have been over."

Chen Fu said.

Chen Mu nodded in agreement: "Yes."

Auntie Liu, sitting on the side, heard the couple’s conversation and could roughly understand what they meant.

She looked at Chen Mo, who was playing and laughing with her daughter, with a complex look in her eyes.

So it was this magical teenager who made Chen Fu sell his shares, thus escaping a disaster.

The next day.

Chen Fu left the villa and headed to Old Jack’s home.

Chen Mo stayed at home to rest.

After resting for two days, Chen Mo left home again and headed to the *Harry Potter* crew.

After arriving, he started filming.

Time passed bit by bit.

For the next period, the internet economic bubble burst, and every day the news and newspapers were reporting which company had gone bankrupt and which founder had jumped off a building.
