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

The audition room door shut out all the noise from the outside world.

Wang Jinhua followed behind Xiao Chen, her heart pounding.

Let alone Xiao Chen.

This was her first time attending a Hollywood audition.

The room in front of me was supposed to be an audition room, but it wasn't very big, and it was full of people.

Right in the center is the director, Krido, a kind-looking fat man.

But his eyes behind his glasses were as sharp as an eagle's.

Several producers and casting directors were sitting nearby, and everyone looked quite serious.

The conversation in the room stopped abruptly when they saw Xiao Chen walk in.

Everyone was visibly stunned.

This is?

An Asian boy?!

Director Creed pushed up his glasses and leaned forward unconsciously.

He had seen many beautiful children, but the one in front of him was so beautiful it seemed unreal.

With looks like that, there's no need for acting skills; just standing in front of the camera is enough to make all viewers willingly take out their wallets.

But the problem is...

Krido exchanged a glance with the producer beside him, seeing the same concern in the other's eyes.

Home Alone is a classic American family story set in Chicago.

The protagonist is a native-born American child.

With an Asian face?

That's too risky.

Will the market accept it?

Wang Jinhua's heart was in her throat; she could clearly feel the invisible pressure in the room.

She was even prepared to leave gracefully with Xiao Chen the moment he refused.

We cannot allow children to be humiliated here.

However, Xiao Chen seemed completely oblivious to all of this.

He calmly walked to the center of the room, smiled at everyone, and even playfully winked his right eye.

"Hello everyone."

Everyone in the room was stunned again.

Director Creedard snapped out of his reverie and, out of politeness, slowed his speech and asked in the simplest of words.

"Hello, son. What's your name?"

(Hello child, what's your name?)

He thought the child would only say "hello" at most, and that the Asian woman next to him was the translator.

Wang Jinhua also subconsciously prepared to speak.

But Xiao Chen had already spoken first, replying in fluent English with no accent.

"My name is Xiao Chen, sir."

"I feel very honored to be able to audition here."

He paused, then looked around.

"I took a long flight to get here."

"But do you have any pizza? I'm starving."

Pfft—!

A young female assistant director couldn't help but laugh.

The seriousness on the faces of Krido and the other producers vanished instantly, replaced by utter shock.

His spoken English is more authentic than some local kids in Los Angeles.

Wang Jinhua was also stunned.

She stared blankly at Xiao Chen's retreating figure, her mind a complete blank.

She knew that Xiao Chen had been studying for the past few years, but she thought it was just enough for everyday conversations.

What's the situation now?

Just how much did this kid secretly learn behind her back?

Director Krido asked in surprise, his speech now back to normal.

"Your English..."

Xiao Chen said in a very serious tone.

"Oh, my spoken English?"

"I have many great teachers, all of whom come from many cartoons."

"Bugs Bunny is the best English teacher I've ever met."

Hahahahaha.

A burst of laughter erupted in the room.

This child not only has the appearance of an angel, but also a witty and humorous soul.

He's so charming.

Director Krido slapped his thigh in excitement.

"Very well, Xiao Chen, then let's see what you're capable of."

"Audition scene number 32 was a bathroom scene. Have you seen it?"

Xiao Chen nodded confidently.

"Of course, sir."

For a professional actor, the audition script must be thoroughly memorized.

Xiao Chen walked to the prop table, picked up a bottle that looked like aftershave, unscrewed the cap, and carefully smelled it.

His expression was full of childlike innocence and a thirst for exploration.

Then, imitating the adults, he poured a little into his palm and clumsily slapped it onto his face.

The moment the liquid touched his skin, Xiao Chen's expression froze.

His eyes widened suddenly, and his mouth opened into a comical "O" shape.

It was a completely unexpected, purely physiological stinging reaction, so real that everyone present felt their cheeks burning!

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying scream echoed throughout the audition room!

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

Xiao Chen covered his face with both hands and ran around the room in exaggerated and ridiculous movements.

But that sudden feeling of pain was so real.

Director Creed was so stunned that he didn't even notice his pen falling to the ground.

He had only one thought in his mind right now.

My God!

This is Kevin!

Xiao Chen is the child he wanted!

Not finished yet.

The original script only called for him to scream, but Xiao Chen added an impromptu action after screaming.

He kept shouting and licking his cheek with his tongue, trying to relieve the burning sensation with saliva.

As a result, the spiciness made her face scrunch up, and she started sticking out her tongue frantically.

This impromptu performance was simply a stroke of genius.

It perfectly blends a boy's pain and innocent foolishness.

The comedic effect is off the charts!

Director Creed couldn't help but burst into laughter.

With him taking the lead, everyone in the room laughed so hard they were doubled over, and tears streamed down their faces.

awesome!

That was an absolutely brilliant performance!

After the performance, Xiao Chen scratched his head shyly, reverting to his well-behaved and adorable demeanor.

This contrast only deepened everyone's affection for him.

Director Krido suppressed a laugh, his tone unusually gentle.

"Go outside and wait for news, child."

Wang Jinhua pulled Xiao Chen out of the audition room.

I was still in a state of extreme disbelief and daze.

As soon as the door closed, she immediately squatted down.

"Xiao Chen! Tell me honestly! Your English... and your performance just now... you..."

Wang Jinhua was so excited that she became incoherent.

She felt that Xiao Chen's acting skills were even more refined than when he was three years old!

Seeing Wang Jinhua's shocked expression, Xiao Chen grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.

"Aunt Hua, I've been absent from the big screen for four years, I can't just sit idle, can I?"

"I don't want to miss out on any role I want because of some inexplicable shortcomings."

For four years, everyone thought he was just a has-been child star enjoying his childhood.

He, however, is using the perseverance of an adult to frantically make up for his shortcomings.

Just then, the door to the audition room was suddenly pushed open.

The young female assistant director came running out, panting, her face beaming with undisguised elation.

"Xiao Chen! Wait!"

"Don't go! Director Krido wants you to go back!"

"We...we need you!"
