Mid-June.
Chen Mo had finished writing the Sixth Sense.

The system's voice sounded in his mind.
"Activate the lottery draw."
Ding! Lucky draw successful. Congratulations to the host for obtaining Elementary Cooking.
Chen Mo was speechless.
next day.
Chen Mo carried his backpack and followed his mother to school.
Chen Mo sat in the car on his way home after school in the afternoon and took out the script he had written from his bag.
"Mom, a strange uncle sold me a script today. I want to film this script.”
Chen Mo passed the script to his mother.
Mother Chen, who was driving, was stunned. She stopped the car by the roadside and took the script from Chen Mo.
The script was written in English.
However, Mother Chen, who had studied English for so long, could roughly understand the content of the script.
In addition, since her son had taken the path of an actor, Mother Chen had also taken some time to learn some knowledge in this area. Now, she could also tell whether a script was good or bad.
He looked at the script seriously.
A moment later, when Mother Chen saw the ending of the script, a hint of surprise appeared on her face.
"Mo, who sold you this script? How much?"
Mother Chen asked.
"One thousand dollars. I don't know the person who sold me the script.”
Chen Mo said.
Mother Chen nodded after hearing Chen Mo's words.
"Alright, I'll discuss it with your dad tonight.”
Mother Chen continued driving.
Soon, it was night time, and Father Chen, who had been busy all day, returned home.
While they were eating, Mother Chen took out the script and handed it to Father Chen. Then, she told him about the origin of the script and how Momo wanted to film this drama.
Father Chen took the script and looked at it before nodding."If our son wants to film it, then let's do it. His luck has always been good. Moreover, I've read the script and it's very good.”
"But we don't know people in this field," said Mother Chen.”
Father Chen rolled his eyes at Mother Chen. We'll directly look for Fox Films, the company that we worked with previously. Just like the Laughing Forest Kid, we'll invest a portion of it.”
Mother Chen's eyebrows immediately shot up!
"Hey! Chen Guohua! Who are you calling a stupid bitch! After staying outside for a long time, he had become bolder!”
Father Chen was speechless.
Father Chen and Mother Chen made a decision.
On Saturday, Chen Mo and his family drove to Fox Entertainment.
When they arrived at the company, Chen Mo's family of three soon met with the Fox Corporation's higher-ups because of his past relationship with Fox Entertainment and his fame.
"Hehe, Mr. Chen, Ms. Chen, and the cute little guy, are you going back on your word this time? You want to act in Home Alone 2?"
Fox's higher-ups thought that Chen Mo's family had gone back on their word, so they smiled and said.
However, Father Chen took out a script from his briefcase.
"Sir, you've misunderstood. We brought a script over this time. My son wants to act in this script. I wonder if Fox has the intention?”
Hearing Father Chen's words, Fox's higher-ups were stunned.
He subconsciously took the script and opened it.
After reading for a while, his expression became serious. When he saw the ending of the script, his eyes immediately revealed a hint of surprise.
The quality of this script was very high! Especially the reversal of the ending, it was simply the finishing touch! It had raised the script to a whole new level!
If there were suitable actors!
This drama could make money!
After confirming that this drama could make money, Fox's higher-ups immediately smiled warmly.
As a businessman, no one would go against money.
"How do you want to cooperate, Mr. Chen?”
Fox's higher-ups asked with a smile.
Father Chen said," We'll invest 600,000 USD into the movie. In addition, Chen Mo's salary will be converted into dividends. That means our investment plus Chen Mo's box office dividends. Oh right, we're the ones who wrote the script. We want 40% of the total."”
Hearing Father Chen's words, Fox's higher-ups frowned and said,""Mr. Chen, this split is too high! This script has two main leads. Other than Chen Mo, I also need a famous main lead and a designated director. The cost will be in the tens of millions. I can only give you 25% of the profits.”
"35%. If you don't agree, I'll have to go to Universal Pictures. They've been contacting Chen Mo recently.”
"Damn Universal Pictures! Alright then! 35%..”
Fox's higher-ups cursed and extended their hands.
Father Chen also smiled and extended his hand.
The two of them shook hands.
Next, Fox's higher-ups immediately sent people to draft the contract.
After the contract was drafted, both parties signed it.
After the contract was signed, Fox's higher-ups immediately held a meeting about the script for 'The Sixth Sense'.
At the meeting, everyone discussed which director and lead actor to look for.
After an hour of discussion, they finally decided to invite Director Rael.
This director was famous for his horror movies, and his horror movies weren't just horror movies, but also had many other meanings.
The other lead actor was a man named Bruce. An actor from Williams would take the role.
This actor had made a name for himself in Hollywood after acting in the movie Die Hard last year.
In the future, he could be said to be one of Hollywood's most awesome star players.
After confirming the director and the other lead, Fox sent out invitations to the two of them and began to set up a production team.
They were planning to shoot the movie as soon as possible and try to release it on Valentine's Day!
It was now mid-June, and there were still more than four months before the holiday. Time was tight, and they had to hurry.
Therefore, in the next few days, Fox worked overtime to build a production team and recruit actors.
It was the end of June. After ten days, the establishment of the production team and the invitation of the lead actors were basically completed.
However, just as everyone was about to start shooting, they suddenly discovered a problem that no one had noticed.
Since Chen Mo was Chinese and an Asian kid, Chen Mo's family must be Asian as well.
However, they found a Caucasian to play the role of Chen Mo's mother.
There was no other way. The production team could only shoot other people's scenes first and recruit new actors at the same time.
When Chen Mo saw that the crew was recruiting new actors, he immediately thought of his master, Mei Yanfang.
She called her master over to be the mother of this drama.
Chen Mo told Mother Chen about it, and Mother Chen went to the director.
The director checked Mei Yanfang's information and immediately decided to let Mei Yanfang play the role.
After getting the director's confirmation, Mother Chen immediately called Mei Yanfang, who was far away in Xiangjiang.
