I became a movie star at the age of three; Dilraba and I are childhood sweethearts.
Chapter 21: 30 in payment received!
Wang Jinghua is used to being decisive and efficient.
The moment Xiao Chen hung up the phone, she picked up another mobile phone on the table.
Since Xiao Chen has decided to accept both offers, Wang Jinhua naturally has to fight for Xiao Chen's best interests.
For Xiao Chen right now, his greatest interests are nothing more than his time and his salary.
Through Wang Jinhua's persistent efforts, a large sum of money was deposited directly into Ye Huimei's bank account a few days later.
When Ye Huimei realized that the 30 yuan that had just been deposited into her account was her payment for "Shaolin Popeye," she was completely stunned.
Keep in mind that's a whopping 30!
In 1993, you could buy a commercial apartment of over 100 square meters!
What's the difference between this and lottery tickets falling from the sky?!
Xiao Chen remained calm about this.
He knew this was just the beginning.
With a top-tier agent like Wang Jinhua negotiating, the film's salary can only increase, not decrease.
What he needs to do now is to put on a good show.
That way, he'll get more and more projects to work with!
Under Wang Jinhua's arrangement, Xiao Chen's two announcements have been completed.
Because the production team of "Shaolin Popeye" is still in preparation, Xiao Chen needs to be in Beijing to film a charity project called "Washing Mom's Feet".
The filming will take place this weekend.
……
Time flies, it's the weekend in Beijing.
Inside a makeshift photography studio.
The room was furnished like a typical family living room, with warm yellow lights casting a cozy glow.
The charity video "Washing Mom's Feet" is currently being filmed.
The director sat behind the monitor, looking focused.
In the middle of the field, a little boy is using all his strength to carry a basin of water that seems too big for him.
The wooden basin contained warm water, which rippled as he moved around.
Even though the water in the basin had soaked his hair and clothes, the little boy still struggled to carry the basin into the bedroom.
The actress playing the mother was already seated on the sofa.
The moment the actress saw Xiao Chen staggering towards her, her maternal instincts overflowed, and she wished she could personally help Xiao Chen carry the water basin.
Finally, Xiao Chen laboriously walked to the sofa and slammed the basin of water down.
Then she raised her little face, which was covered in sweat, and shouted in a childish voice.
"Mom, let me wash your feet!"
At that moment, time stood still.
The director behind the monitor had his mouth slightly agape; he had forgotten to yell "cut."
After a long while, the director suddenly stood up.
"Good...good! Passed! Perfect!"
The female staff members on site gasped in surprise.
"Oh my god, I can't take it anymore, how can Chenchen be so cute!"
"Chenchen glanced in my direction just now, and my heart melted!"
"Don't even mention washing my feet, I'd give you my life if Chenchen wanted it!"
"Waaaaah, I want a son like that too! No, I don't want to have any more children, I just want to be Chenchen's mom!"
For a moment, the entire scene was filled with cries of people wanting to be Xiao Chen's mother.
These female staff members all became Xiao Chen's devoted fans!
Of course, the most excited person was the director.
The reaction at the scene was already this big; I can't imagine how big the reaction will be after this clip is broadcast!
The shoot went exceptionally smoothly, and it was done in one take.
However, the production team of "Shaolin Popeye" still needs two weeks for final preparations due to issues with the location and actors' schedules.
Xiao Chen has been resting at home for the past two weeks, otherwise he would have to work non-stop again after joining the crew.
When Xiao Chen was home, their doorbell would ring precisely at eight o'clock every night.
"Hye-mi! Open the door! Help!"
Outside the door was Reyila's signature loud voice, mixed with the heart-wrenching cries of a little girl.
Ye Huimei opened the door with a helpless expression.
"Come in."
As Reyila carried little Reba through the door, a magical scene unfolded.
Dilraba was crying her heart out, but when she saw Xiao Chen peeking out of the bedroom, her crying stopped abruptly.
Then, he stretched out his two little arms and opened his mouth to shout.
"Giggle! Bun!"
Reyila put her daughter on the floor, and as soon as little Reba was put down, she rushed towards Xiao Chen like a little cannonball.
She only stopped crying when she reached out and hugged his leg tightly, wiping her tear-streaked and snot-covered face all over his pants.
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth and rummaged through Ye Huimei's room to find the camera.
They took several photos of Dilraba's alleged crimes before stopping.
He'll settle the score with Dilraba in twenty years!
Seeing this, Reyila started telling Ye Huimei about the benefits of an arranged marriage.
Ye Huimei smiled awkwardly, trying to appease him while giving her son meaningful glances.
Xiao Chen shrugged helplessly.
What can he do?
He was desperate too!
Aside from having to comfort Dilraba at night, Xiao Chen still has to go to kindergarten during the day.
Yeh Hui-mei insists that a normal childhood should not be delayed because of filming.
So Xiao Chen still has to carry his little schoolbag to school every day.
But the peace was soon shattered.
Just one week after Xiao Chen finished filming GG, "The New Legend of Shaolin" officially premiered on major TV stations during prime time.
This kung fu epic, overseen by Jet Li, became a ratings sensation as soon as it aired.
Besides the exciting plot, the most discussed topic is the character Hong Wending!
Especially when they saw that cool-looking little guy knock down several adults with his smooth and flowing punches, the viewers in front of the TV went crazy!
"Holy crap! Who's this kid? He's amazing!"
"Wow! So cool and cute! Those expressions are absolutely amazing!"
"His name is Xiao Chen! It's written in the cast list! My goodness, what an amazing guy!"
"Where is he from? I want to know something about this child!"
Overnight, Xiao Chen became famous again.
It's still that kind of phenomenal, explosive popularity!
So the next day...
When Ye Huimei and Xiao Chen arrived at the kindergarten gate as usual, both mother and son were dumbfounded.
The entrance to the kindergarten was completely blocked.
It was a sea of reporters!
Someone shouted out.
"It's Xiao Chen!"
"He's here!"
Upon seeing Xiao Chen arrive, all the cameras immediately focused on that small figure.
The flashes went off like crazy, almost blinding people.
"Xiao Chen! Look here! Smile!"
"Hong Wending! Who taught you your kung fu?"
"Xiao Chen, is filming hard for you?"
The reporters bombarded Xiao Chen with questions, practically shoving the microphone in his face.
Fortunately, the kindergarten had enough security guards who managed to keep all the reporters outside, allowing Xiao Chen to arrive at the kindergarten safely.
Even though they couldn't interview Xiao Chen, these reporters still refused to leave.
They all crouched down by the fence at the kindergarten entrance, keeping watch.
Even taking just one more photo of Xiao Chen would be a win!
