Huayu09: Starting with Hijacking Xiao Shenyang

"Ahem!" Zhao Benshan coughed twice, his eyebrows raised. "Is someone itching for a beating again? They've caught a kind, good girl and are just going to bully her to death, huh?"

"Master, the sunlight is quite bright today."

Chen Mo turned to look out the window, looking like a good little boy.

Disgrace!

A blatant stain!

At this time.

Liu Yifei stretched out her index and middle fingers, pinched the dog man's waist hard, and even added a crazy twist.

Sneak attack!

Having landed a successful blow, Liu Yifei quickly ran away.

"Old Liu, you've gone astray."

Chen Mo clutched his lower back and made a threatening gesture.

Liu Yifei responded with a funny face.

how?

How dare you bully me again!

I have powerful backers!

……

……

The Guangzhou roadshow has ended.

Xiang Zuo brought his parents to the hospital to visit Teacher Zhao.

Benshan Media is no longer what it used to be; it is no longer a crippled cultural company that relies on TV dramas and variety shows.

"Project Gutenberg" grossed over 100 million yuan in its opening week, and its box office has continued to rise instead of falling. It is expected to surpass 200 million yuan this Friday. If it continues to rise at this pace, it is very likely to break the 450 million yuan box office record just set by "Transformers 2".

Not only did it make Huayi Brothers' blockbuster "The Message" avoid direct competition, but it also got ahead of "The Founding of a Republic" in getting students and civil servants in major cities to willingly go to the cinema.

It sparked a nationwide movie-watching craze.

It's no exaggeration to say that Benshan Media established itself in the Chinese film industry with just one film, "Project Gutenberg," becoming a force that established film companies dared not provoke, and attracting Hong Kong film companies eager to expand into the mainland.

"Benshan, you should have come sooner. Are you recovering well?"

Mr. Xiang asked with concern.

"It's wonderful. It's an honor for this old man that Mr. Xiang would deign to come and see me."

Teacher Zhao maintained a very humble attitude.

The two chatted enthusiastically, as if they were old friends who had just met.

During the conversation, Mr. Xiang also mentioned the future arrangements for his son, Xiang Zuo. Since he enjoys hanging out with Zhao's troupe, he should stay in mainland China to develop his career.

Chen Mo's novel "Chengdu Chengdu" received an extremely enthusiastic response from the audience, and with its click rate on Fox Video skyrocketing, Xiang Zuo's base in mainland China far exceeds that in Hong Kong.

After greeting Zhao Benshan, Mrs. Xiang went to chat with Ma Lijuan and Liu Xiaoli, and the three sisters chatted even more intimately.

She glanced at Chen Mo and Liu Yifei every now and then, then covered her mouth and gave an auntie smile.

This made Liu Yifei blush, and she could only sit there awkwardly. If she tried to refute, her reasons were insufficient; if she interrupted, it would be impolite. She had no choice but to let it be.

Those who know the situation are saying the two are a good match, but those who don't might think the mother and her two children sold her off.

After saying goodbye to his family, Chen Mo called over Ya Dan, Wang Xiaoli, and Deng Ziqi.

"Boss...godfather, hehe, are you going to put me to good use?"

G.E.M. came running over, her little goldfish mouth stretched all the way to her ears.

They even directly address him as "godfather".

In his previous life, Chen Mo had seen G.E.M. and Li Ronghao's video call, and they really did shout those words without any hesitation.

Now look what's happened, Chen Mo has become the godfather.

It just... feels perfectly natural.

"Can you be serious for once?"

Chen Mo rolled his eyes.

"Hehe~ Uncle Qu, Uncle Qu, isn't that the same as godfather? Godfather, you agree, right?"

G.E.M. didn't want to be serious. She turned to Zhao Benshan and once again said something surprising.

"Calling me 'godfather' is fine, given our age, but calling that brat 'godfather' is not an option; it could easily cause misunderstandings."

Zhao Benshan earnestly advised.

Are the "godfathers" in the entertainment industry legitimate godfathers?

"Listen to your godfather, don't call him godfather in front of outsiders. We're all family, so it doesn't matter."

Call me whatever you want.

Chen Mo outwardly refused but inwardly felt pleased.

Who could resist a beautiful and adorable younger sister of the same age following her around calling him "godfather"?

not to mention.

She is still the future queen of Mandopop.

Charlotte's awesomeness!!!

Liu Yifei saw through the man's hypocrisy and once again reached out her wicked hand.

"Hiss..." Chen Mo gasped, muttering under his breath, "What, you want to be the godmother?"

"Oh dear, I'm ignoring you now."

Liu Yifei got up angrily and went to peel an apple for Teacher Zhao.

"Tell me about it."

Chen Mo changed the subject.

Everyone immediately stood up straight and stopped joking.

"In the next few days, Lao Liu and I need to focus on preparing for the China-Korea Song Festival. Although the rankings in the city box office competition may fluctuate, Pengcheng and Chang'an will remain unchanged. Ziqi, next stop Pengcheng. Senior brothers and sisters, next stop Chang'an."

Chen Mo handed over "Floating City," which was the previous life's "Angkor Wat," to G.E.M.

Chen Mo considered for a long time before finally choosing "Angkor Wat," a Cantonese song released in 2011. There aren't many classic Cantonese songs in the 21st century, and "Angkor Wat" is definitely one of them.

The song itself is about small love stories, but its melody, temperament, and emotions are more sophisticated than "Love Story of Guangzhou".

Like the underlying character of Shenzhen, from the moment the circle was drawn, it possessed an inherent sense of mystery and sophistication, placing it on a different level from other cities.

Chen Mo changed the title to "Floating City," meaning a city in the floating world.

It's both unreal and real, bustling and sci-fi, like a human world floating in the sky.

Duck Egg and Wang Xiaoli sang "The Song of Chang'an People".

This song needs no further explanation. The melody is simple and unadorned, and the lyrics cover the local customs, eating habits, history and culture of Chang'an, writing about the daily life of the people of Chang'an in the song.

Chen Mo personally believes that this song ranks among the top three of all songs about cities.

"Godfather, I absolutely love 'Floating World.' Look at this lyric: 'The more you try to withdraw, the more it moves into your life.' And this line: 'The less you hold on, the more stubborn you become.' And also, 'Keep a secret when you're with me…'"

G.E.M. felt a deep sense of empathy.

They cherished the lyrics and music as if they were priceless treasures.

Three black lines appeared on Chen Mo's forehead.

Holy crap, this love-obsessed queen is amazing!

"Everyone hurry up and go practice singing. Ziqi, be careful of the typhoon. Senior brothers and sisters should learn some Chang'an dialect."

Chen Mo gave a word of advice.

"OK, Godfather, Yang said I'm pretty stable during the typhoon!"

"Junior brother, everything is understood without words."

On October 4th, G.E.M. performed "Floating City" at a roadshow, which received an unprecedentedly enthusiastic response in Shenzhen. Now, Guangdong Province has two city-specific songs, and people are feeling incredibly proud of themselves when browsing online forums.

It has to be my great southern Guangdong. How did that place become an ancient place of exile? Do you have a city-specific song? I can hear your voices breaking down even from thousands of kilometers away.

However, the reality is...

The naturally proud Master Jing didn't break down, but the always aloof Sister Hai did.

The underlying character of Shanghai is one of superiority, a sense of boundaries, and a refined sense of ritual, which is related to its early influence from Western culture.

They won't argue online or discuss it in real life; they'll just blacklist Chen Mo and cut off all contact with him.

As for those questioning Chen Mo online, most of them are either outsiders or haters.

The daily box office in Shanghai dropped, falling below 100 million RMB for the first time, and major local cinemas reduced the number of screenings of "Project Gutenberg". This silent boycott is the most frightening.

Silence + no explanation + no response = complete disregard.

"Chen Mo, the situation in Shanghai is not good. If things continue like this, Benshan Media's films will never be able to make a profit in Shanghai."

Liu Yifei stared at the data, feeling anxious and worried.

"Shanghai is counting on you, Lao Liu."

Chen Mo believed in the true way.
