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

At first, Wang Jinhua answered each call personally.

Later, she simply gave up.

Because I can't remember them all!

I simply can't remember them all!

The phone rang again immediately after I hung up.

The fax machine was going crazy, spitting out sheet after sheet of paper, all covered with densely packed letters of intent for cooperation.

She's been in this industry for several years and has managed many artists.

But she had never seen such a crazy scene!

These aren't some obscure, unknown brands; they're all big, reputable manufacturers!

Food, beverages, clothing, school supplies...

It covers almost all fields!

Wang Jinhua gave a bitter smile.

It looks like she'll be busy for a while.

A few days later, Wang Jinhua carefully selected several contracts and knocked on Xiao Chen's door.

Wang Jinhua pushed the first contract onto the coffee table.

Wahaha offered 800,000 yuan a year.

Ye Huimei was peeling an apple for Xiao Chen when she heard this, and her hand trembled, almost causing the apple to fall to the ground.

Stealing the young master?!

Eight hundred thousand?!

Ye Huimei looked at the contract in Wang Jinhua's hand as if she had seen a ghost.

It was as if it weren't paper, but gold.

Wang Jinhua then produced a second and a third copy.

"Step by step, one million."

"And Master Kong, they didn't give specific figures, only said... the price is negotiable."

After Wang Jinhua finished speaking, she looked at the main character on the other side of the sofa.

Xiao Chen sat cross-legged, intently fiddling with a Rubik's Cube.

His tiny fingers flew nimbly, as if those million-dollar contracts were less important than the toy worth a few dozen dollars in his hand.

Ye Huimei was completely speechless.

She knew her son was famous, but she never expected him to be famous to this extent!

This is a multi-million dollar endorsement deal!

Wang Jinhua observed Xiao Chen's reaction.

She has seen too many adults lose their composure in the face of fame and fortune, let alone a child.

She had already prepared a set of arguments, ready to gently guide him and help him make the most advantageous choice.

"Xiao Chen, which one do you want to choose?"

"Aunt Hua thinks BBK has the best prospects and also the highest prices."

Xiao Chen finally stopped what he was doing; he had completely solved all six sides of the Rubik's Cube.

"Aunt Hua."

"We won't accept any of them."

Wang Jinhua was stunned.

She had imagined countless possibilities, but this was not one of them.

Why?

"Xiao Chen, do you know what this money means?"

Xiao Chen put the Rubik's Cube aside and sighed.

"Aunt Hua, eating too much candy will ruin your teeth."

"If you make money too fast, you can't be an actor anymore."

? ? ? ? ?

Wang Jinhua was stunned.

Xiao Chen is right.

Excessive commercialization diminishes an actor's mystique.

Once you're labeled as a product, it's hard to convince audiences of the characters you portray on screen.

This is a lesson that many veteran actors in the industry have learned after years of hard work and suffering.

But now, this same principle is being spoken by a three-year-old child.

Wang Jinhua let out a long breath.

"I see."

"Xiao Chen, Aunt Hua will listen to you."

Ye Huimei was still confused, but she chose to believe in her son and Wang Jinhua.

After all, Ye Huimei's current life is like a dream come true.

……

Another month and a half later.

The premiere of "Shaolin Popeye" was held in Hong Kong.

The theater was packed, with cameras flashing everywhere.

As the most popular Asian pop star right now, Lin Zhiying naturally occupies the center position in all the shots.

Hao Shaowen, the chubby bald guy with sunglasses, also gained immense popularity thanks to his cheeky and adorable image in the trailer.

Almost everyone agrees that the biggest draw of this movie is Lin Chih-ying and Hao Shao-wen.

As for Xiao Chen...

Although his performance in "The New Legend of Shaolin" was outstanding.

But now he's more like a minor supporting character, sitting quietly next to Zhu Yanping, with little presence.

Soon, the movie started.

The plot is light and humorous, Lin Zhiying's campus life is charming and irresistible, and Hao Shaowen's witty remarks also make the audience laugh continuously.

Everything went as expected.

The scene then shifts to the ancient and tranquil Shaolin Temple.

In the picture, a small figure wearing a gray monk's robe sits cross-legged, his back view exuding a Zen-like aura.

The camera slowly pans to the front.

A stunningly beautiful little face appeared on the big screen.

His expression was solemn, like a highly accomplished monk in deep meditation.

However, he had a lollipop in his mouth and was holding a... Nintendo Game Boy game console!

Solemnity and mischief.

Classic and modern.

These two extreme contradictions are perfectly blended in him into an indescribable cuteness!

A deathly silence fell over the theater for three seconds.

Immediately afterwards, the entire venue erupted in screams!

"Oh my god! This is so cute!"

"How can Xiao Chen be so cute!"

"Waaaaah, my health bar is empty! This character is such a perfect match for Chenchen!"

"We have to steal it home! We absolutely must steal it home!"

The screams even drowned out the cheers when Lin Zhiying appeared!

Zhu Yanping, sitting in the front row, was completely dumbfounded.

He knew Xiao Chen was cute.

But he never expected that this cuteness would be so devastating!

Wu Mengda, on the other hand, had a smug look on his face, as if he had known all along.

"See? I wasn't wrong, was I? This kid is nuclear-level!"

Lin Zhiying was also stunned.

He listened to the screams of the female fans behind him, their fervor making even this popular idol a little jealous.

The rest of the movie viewing experience turned into a complete solo show by Xiao Chen.

Whenever his camera appears on screen, a gasp of surprise inevitably erupts in the theater.

Of course, besides being cute, what's even more terrifying is Xiao Chen's acting skills.

Only when Wu Mengda acted opposite Xiao Chen was it passable.

In contrast, other actors seemed to struggle when acting opposite him.

Soon, the movie ended, and all the lights came on.

As is customary, the creative team needs to go on stage to express their gratitude.

But just as they were taking the stage, a dramatic scene unfolded.

The host introduced them one by one.

"Lin Zhiying!"

"Wow--"

The fans cheered.

"Hao Shaowen!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The audience burst into laughter.

"Xiao Chen!"

"Aaaaaah, Chenchen! Chenchen! Mommy loves you!"

"Chenchen, look here! Your sister loves you!"

The overwhelming shouts almost shattered people's eardrums!

Zhu Yanping couldn't even imagine what a sensational scene it would be when the movie was officially released tomorrow!
