Chapter 94

Chen Mo laughed after hearing this: "What are you joking about? We met at the premiere ceremony, it’s only been half a month, and I’ve become more handsome?"

Emma nodded earnestly: "Yes, I believe in my judgment, eh, it seems your voice has changed too."

As she said this, Emma Watson frowned slightly and looked at Chen Mo, as if she wanted to see something from Chen Mo.

Chen Mo smiled and ignored the little girl, walking straight toward the tent not far away.

Since he was at the crew, he had to report to Chris Columbus.

After reporting, Chen Mo left the tent, then chatted with some child actors from the crew.

The next day.

The crew officially started filming!

Because they had filmed the first part before, and now the actors hadn't been replaced, everyone quickly got into character, and they also had experience and tacit understanding, so the filming speed was much faster than before.

Time passed quickly...

Time reached mid-June.

*Harry Potter* was released overseas.

The countries released this time were still several Southeast Asian countries, as well as Germany, Argentina, and a total of more than twenty countries.

The time *Harry Potter* was released overseas was when it was officially taken off the shelves in North America!

In the twenty days from the premiere to now, *Harry Potter*’s box office in North America reached 460 million dollars.

And the North American box office of this film in his previous life was only 360 million dollars. Because of Chen Mo’s joining, and Chen Fu spending a lot of money to make better special effects than in his previous life, it increased the box office by 100 million dollars.

This box office directly broke the box office record for children’s movies that year!

And the lead actor of *Home Alone* that year was also Chen Mo!

*Harry Potter*’s box office and record-breaking made Hollywood’s entertainment daily start to praise it wildly again.

And under their praise, Chen Mo’s status in Hollywood now could be called the number one teenage actor in the world!

For such a status, although Chen Mo cared, he didn't pay attention.

He filmed every day with the crew.

And on the other side...

Chinese mainland.

In the conference room of the Chinese mainland film production company.

At this moment, the famous director Ang Lee and several company heads were discussing the release time of a movie.

The movie they were discussing was *Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon*, directed by Ang Lee and starring Chow Yun-fat, Yang Ziqing, and Zhang Ziyi.

Actually, they planned to schedule this movie for release in June.

But the Mo company’s *Harry Potter* disrupted their plan.

*Harry Potter* achieved a box office of over 400 million dollars in North America, which made them have to take it seriously.

What if their movie *Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon* and *Harry Potter* went head-to-head in the same slot and were beaten to a pulp?

"How about pushing the schedule to July? After all, we only did early promotion, but didn't announce the specific release time."

Director Ang Lee hesitated.

As he said this, Ang Lee couldn't help but think of Chen Mo, the actor in *Harry Potter*.

That teenager who looked perfect and impeccable!

Then an idea emerged.

Should he consider letting him appear in that drama?

Would he appear?

The company executives sitting opposite nodded after hearing this: "Fine, then schedule it for release in July, let’s make it July 8th, by then *Harry Potter* will be off the shelves, we can just borrow this wind to release it."

"Fine."

Everyone finished discussing, and then began to make arrangements.

Time passed quickly.

Soon it was July 4th.

The overseas release of *Harry Potter* also came to an end.

In the twenty days of overseas release, the total box office reached 810 million dollars.

Added to the previous North American box office, it was a total of 1.2 billion dollars!

And Chen Fu only invested less than 150 million!

After deducting the share with the theater chain and taxes, Chen Fu obtained 600 million dollars.

There was no other way, he had to give the theater 30% share, and there were the taxes in the free country that made people afraid, so he only got this much.

But this much was already not bad!

July 5th.

The *Harry Potter* crew, Chen Mo asked director Chris Columbus for leave and took a plane to the country.

After arriving in the country, Chen Mo first went to Xiangjiang to visit Mei Yanfang, who had been discharged from the hospital.

He stayed with Mei Yanfang for two days, then took a plane back to the mainland.

He returned to the mainland this time to attend a premiere.

And this premiere was for *Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon*, directed by Ang Lee.

As for why Chen Mo would attend this premiere, it was because a few months ago, Zhang Ziyi came to support Chen Mo at his *Harry Potter* premiere ceremony.

Although Chen Mo couldn't say he liked or disliked Zhang Ziyi, since people gave you face, you had to return the favor.

Just consider it a favor.

So after Chen Mo returned to the mainland, he contacted director Ang Lee.

"Chen Mo?!"

"Ah, good, haha, then you’re very welcome, fine, I’m coming over now."

After Ang Lee received Chen Mo’s call, he excitedly called all the leads of this drama and then took a car together to the hotel where Chen Mo was staying.

After arriving at the hotel, several people came to the door of Chen Mo’s hotel room, then Ang Lee raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Not long after...

The door opened.

Chen Mo appeared in their line of sight.

"Haha, Director Li An, Brother Fat, Sister Ziqing, Miss Zhang, welcome, welcome..."

Chen Mo smiled and gestured for everyone to come in.

Aside from Li An, the others had all had contact with Chen Mo before.

Basically, they could all be considered acquaintances.

"Young and promising. I must thank you for being able to attend the film's premiere."

Li An did not look down on Chen Mo because of his age; instead, he politely extended his hand.

Chen Mo also smiled and extended his hand. After shaking hands, Chen Mo gestured for everyone to enter the room.

Once inside, everyone sat by the sofa. Chen Mo originally wanted to pour water, but he was hurriedly stopped by Zhang Ziyi, who had the least seniority here. Zhang Ziyi then took the initiative to take on the role of a server, helping the others pour water.

"Sister Ziqing, long time no see."

Chen Mo sat back on the sofa, looked at Yang Ziqing, and smiled.

Back when Chen Mo was filming *Shaolin Popey*, Yang Ziqing had also appeared in the film. During the filming process, she had been very caring toward Chen Mo, often carrying him around and buying him snacks and the like.

Therefore, part of the reason Chen Mo came this time was because of Yang Ziqing.

Hearing Chen Mo's words, Yang Ziqing's face revealed a complex expression, and she couldn't help but sigh with a smile: "Yes, long time no see."

As she spoke, she looked at Chen Mo's facial features, which were no longer cute but had become even more perfect, and smiled again: "In the blink of an eye, time has passed. Mo Mo has grown up, and now he has also become the number one person of the younger generation in Hollywood."

Chen Mo smiled and scratched his head after hearing this.

Afterward, he chatted with Brother Fat for a bit.

In truth, there wasn't much to talk about with Brother Fat, as their acquaintance was only at Anita Mui's home, and they had no other intersections. Thus, when chatting with Brother Fat, they only discussed Anita Mui's medical condition.

After conversing with everyone for a while, Chen Mo and Li An talked about tomorrow's premiere ceremony.

"Tomorrow's premiere ceremony is here in Jingcheng. I will send staff over then."

"Mm, good. Coming over so suddenly, I've disturbed you, Director Li An. I am truly sorry."
