I became a movie star at the age of three; Dilraba and I are childhood sweethearts.

Backstage, Ye Huimei squatted on the ground, adjusting Xiao Chen's bow tie.

"Chenchen, don't be afraid when you go on stage later."

She said she was telling Xiao Chen not to be afraid, but actually Ye Huimei was nervous.

Her son's first official appearance made her more nervous than when she went on stage herself.

Xiao Chen looked up and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Mom, I'm not afraid."

Ye Huimei took a deep breath, just as she was about to lead Xiao Chen onto the stage, when a staff member hurried over with an apologetic look on his face.

"Ms. Ye, I'm sorry, but according to the rules, only key members of the production team are allowed on stage. As a family member..."

Ye Huimei's heart sank suddenly.

She knew about this rule, but she still couldn't rest easy watching her son walk onto the stage alone.

Xiao Chen gently patted Ye Huimei's arm, but before he could speak, a familiar voice rang out.

"It's okay, I'll hold him."

Qiu Shuzhen walked over, a bright and charming smile on her face.

She liked this little guy the most on set, and reached out her hand without hesitation.

"Chenchen, can I hold you?"

Wang Jing watched from the side, chuckling as he patted his belly.

"That's right, let Ah Zhen hold them, they're such a perfect match—handsome man and beautiful woman!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Chen peeked out of Ye Huimei's arms and obediently nestled into Qiu Shuzhen's embrace.

Before going on stage, he turned his head, winked at Ye Huimei, and silently opened his mouth with small mouth movements.

"rest assured."

Ye Huimei's eyes instantly reddened upon seeing this scene.

You brat.

When did you become so sensible?

He's even more reliable than his father.

Holding the tiny body in her arms, Qiu Shuzhen felt her heart melt.

"Hold on tight to your sister later."

Xiao Chen nodded, his small hand clutching the front of her shirt, in response to Qiu Shuzhen's words.

As the host's voice rang out, a spotlight illuminated the stage entrance.

"Please welcome the main cast and crew of 'The New Legend of Shaolin' to the stage!"

Holding Xiao Chen, Qiu Shuzhen, along with Li Lianjie, Wang Jing, and others, slowly walked onto the stage of the press conference.

Below the stage, hundreds of reporters were already prepared.

When Chingmy Yau's stunning beauty appeared in the camera lens, the shutter clicked instantly.

"It's Chingmy Yau!"

"Look this way! Look this way!"

However, this frenzy lasted for less than three seconds.

When the reporters saw the tiny figure being held in Qiu Shuzhen's arms, the sound of camera shutters in the entire venue paused eerily for a second.

Immediately afterwards, a force ten times stronger than before erupted again!

What a beautiful child!

His well-fitting suit made his fair skin stand out.

Beneath her soft, jet-black hair were a pair of astonishingly large eyes, with pupils so black and clear they could reflect the entire world.

The little boy was neither frightened by the scene nor did he cry or look around curiously.

He leaned quietly against Qiu Shuzhen's chest, his eyes carrying a calmness beyond his years.

The people below were all reporters who had been in the industry for many years, but they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise the moment they saw Xiao Chen.

"My God! This child... is so beautiful!"

"Is he the kid who played Hong Wending?"

"My goodness, where did Wang Jing find this amazing treasure?!"

There are many beautiful child stars in the entertainment industry, but this child is different.

His features seemed to have been sculpted by God himself, without a single flaw.

What's even more striking is his aura—clean, pure, and imbued with an indescribable spirituality.

The reporters went completely crazy, all their cameras fixed on Xiao Chen, even Li Lianjie and Qiu Shuzhen next to him became background figures.

After the main cast members took their seats, Qiu Shuzhen naturally let Xiao Chen sit on her lap.

Once everyone was seated, the Q&A session began.

A male reporter was the first to grab the microphone.

"Director Wang, we all know that children and animals are the most difficult to film."

Why did you choose a complete novice child with no acting experience to play such an important role as Hong Wending?

"Were there any difficulties encountered during filming?"

This question is quite pointed, almost implying that Wang Jing's casting was hasty.

Ye Huimei, sitting in the audience, was on tenterhooks.

Wang Jing took the microphone and glanced at the quiet Xiao Chen.

"Difficult? No."

He paused deliberately for a few seconds.

"Xiao Chen is not a problem."

"He was the biggest surprise I received in this film."

Wang Jing's words caused an uproar among the reporters present.

surprise?

What surprises can a three-year-old bring?

She's just a bit good-looking.

But Wong Jing's films are never short of pretty faces!

The reporters wanted to press for more information, but Wang Jing waved his hand, keeping them in suspense.

"As for what the surprise is..."

"You'll understand after watching the movie."

The press conference ended quickly, and everyone moved to the theater to watch the premiere.

The lights slowly dimmed, and the giant screen lit up.

The movie began with rousing background music.

The story begins with a somber atmosphere, with government soldiers pursuing them, the Red Flower Society being destroyed, and Li Lianjie's character, Hong Xiguan, fleeing for his life with his only son.

Just then, the camera shifted.

Inside the dilapidated thatched hut, Hong Xiguan was wiping his spear.

Beside him, a small figure was practicing a horse stance, each step precise and perfectly executed.

The camera slowly zooms in, giving a close-up of the child's face.

It's Xiao Chen playing Hong Wending!

The reporters gasped.

That face was exactly the same as the little boy at the press conference, but the feeling it gave off was completely different.

The innocence of childhood was gone from Xiao Chen's eyes; in their place was a composure beyond his years.

As he looked at his father's back, his eyes revealed dependence and admiration, as well as a hint of barely perceptible worry.

The complexity of the eye acting is astounding!

Is this something a three-year-old could act out?

The subsequent plot twists continue to shock everyone's understanding.

Hong Xiguan taught his son martial arts, and Xiao Chen's every movement was clean and efficient, with focused and ruthless eyes.

The father and son shared a steamed bun on their escape route. He ate it in small bites, but kept a close watch on his surroundings.

That precocious maturity and understanding is heartbreaking to see.

The most stunning scene was his scene with Jet Li.

In that scene, Hong Xiguan severely reprimanded his son due to a misunderstanding.

Xiao Chen didn't say a single line throughout the entire process; he just stood there.

His lips were pressed tightly together, and his small fists were clenched tightly.

But he didn't cry.

Tears welled up in her eyes; her grievances and confusion were all written in them.

At that moment, standing in front of Jet Li, the "Kung Fu Emperor," his aura was not diminished in the slightest.

The tension between the father and son is so real it's chilling!

"My God... such amazing acting skills, better than many top actors!"

"Is this acting...real?"

"So this is the surprise Wang Jing was talking about! This surprise is huge!"

The reporters were absolutely thrilled!

I was completely captivated by that tiny figure in the movie.

They finally understood why Wang Jing dared to use an amateur.

This is hardly an ordinary person.

This is clearly a genius who's been fed by God!
