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

Xiao Chen was not asleep.

He was faking it.

Others may not know, but Xiao Chen knows it very well.

Wang Jing is indeed a great director.

But just as many classic and good films has Wang Jing made, so too has he made countless bad films that were just cash grabs.

Deeply bound to him?

What a joke.

Does this mean he'll have to make the "From Vegas to Macau" trilogy in the future?

Xiao Chen doesn't want fleeting glory; he wants to stand at the pinnacle of acting.

Wang Jing was merely an excellent stepping stone for him to enter the entertainment industry, not the end.

However, to contradict a top director in front of the entire crew is not a sign of character, it's a sign of being brainless.

What is the most reasonable reaction from a three-year-old?

I just want to sleep when I'm tired of playing!

As long as he falls asleep, not only will he not embarrass Wang Jing, but he will even make Wang Jing think he is innocent and cute, and like him even more.

This method is absolutely perfect!

Only Li Lianjie remained silent, watching the little one sleeping soundly in his arms.

The shock in his eyes lingered for a long time.

Xiao Chen's posture leaning against his leg seemed relaxed, but there was actually a slight tension in his muscles.

As an actor of Jet Li's caliber, he was already familiar with the reactions of every muscle in the human body.

He knew that Xiao Chen wasn't in a state that a truly sleeping child should be in.

Could it be... that this kid is pretending to be asleep?

But why!

An absurd yet daring idea flashed through Li Lianjie's mind.

Could it be to avoid signing with Wang Jing?

Did Xiao Chen see through the deeper implications?

Li Lianjie quickly shook his head, realizing he was overthinking things.

Although it's unclear why Xiao Chen pretended to be asleep, a three-year-old pretending to be asleep is definitely just for fun; it's impossible for him to have such a mature mind.

Wang Jing didn't notice anything unusual about Xiao Chen and waved to disperse the staff.

He walked up to Ye Huimei, his voice extremely low, afraid of waking his sleeping baby.

"Miss Ye, I have a lounge with a bed. Why don't you take Xiao Chen there and get a good night's sleep?"

"Don't be afraid, no one will bother you."

Hearing this made the stagehand next to him twitch.

That's the director's private dressing room!

Even the biggest stars who want to sit inside have to wait and see what Director Wong is thinking!

Is this just something you casually gave to a three-year-old to sleep in?

This favoritism is absolutely outrageous!

Ye Huimei was flattered and repeatedly waved her hands in refusal, but she couldn't win against Wang Jing.

He could only carefully take Xiao Chen from Li Lianjie's arms and follow the stagehand to the dressing room.

……

At this moment, in a certain alley in Kyoto.

The heart-wrenching cries of the baby girl echoed throughout the alleyway.

"Waaah... giggle... giggle..."

In Reyila's home, a pink-cheeked baby girl was sitting on the carpet, crying loudly.

Her chubby little hand was tightly clutching a photograph in which a handsome little boy was smiling at the camera.

Hearing her daughter cry, Reyila was completely at her wit's end.

"My little darling, my little Dilraba, please stop crying, okay?"

"My brother went to film a movie, he'll be back soon."

She picked up a rattle and shook it frantically in front of her daughter, trying to distract her.

Little Dilraba ignored him completely, only stubbornly waving her little fists and repeating the same two words over and over again.

"Giggle! Giggle!"

Reyila was on the verge of tears.

Ever since Ye Huimei took Xiao Chen to film a movie, Dilraba has been like a lost soul.

Photos are useless; I have to see the real person.

Reyila prayed silently in her heart.

"Ye Huimei, Ye Huimei, hurry up and bring Chenchen back after filming."

"If you don't come back soon, my roof will almost collapse from all the crying!"

……

set.

After sleeping for more than an hour, Xiao Chen was carried back to the film set by Ye Huimei.

As soon as Wang Jing saw him, he immediately came to greet him.

"Oh, our little one's awake? Did you sleep well?"

Xiao Chen greeted them politely.

"I slept well, thank you Uncle Wang."

His voice was soft and sweet, melting Wang Jing's heart.

"Good, good! It's good that you're more energetic!"

"Get ready, the next scene is a scene between you and Sister Shuzhen!"

Chiu Shu-chen was already waiting on the sidelines. She was dressed in red today and looked radiant.

She had just witnessed the entire scene between Xiao Chen and Li Lianjie, and was deeply impressed.

But even though she watched, she still wanted to experience Xiao Chen's acting skills for herself.

Qiu Shuzhen walked up to Xiao Chen with a smile.

"Are you ready, Xiao Chen?"

The goddess's smile was gentle and charming, instantly captivating the hearts of the rough men beside her.

But Xiao Chen simply nodded calmly.

It seems that acting is more attractive to Xiao Chen than seeing pretty women.

Wang Jing picked up the walkie-talkie.

Scene 32, shot 3 of "The New Legend of Shaolin".

"Action!"

The set fell silent instantly.

Chiu Shu-chen quickly got into character, portraying Hong Dou with the cunning of a江湖儿女 (people of the martial arts world).

In this scene, she needs to extract information from Hong Wending, this little adult.

Qiu Shuzhen smiled sweetly and reached out to pinch Hong Wending's cheek.

"Little brother, did your daddy tell you where he hid the treasure?"

Her voice was sweet and seductive.

Just as Qiu Shuzhen's fingertips were about to touch Xiao Chen's cheek, Xiao Chen tilted his head slightly, dodging the touch perfectly.

His face was expressionless, but his eyes held a coldness and wariness beyond his years.

Xiao Chen is scrutinizing Qiu Shuzhen!

When she realized this thought, Chiu Shu-chen froze.

Is this acting with a three-year-old child?

She felt even more pressure acting alongside veteran actors who had won Best Actor awards!

Wang Jing's face turned bright red with excitement.

"Cut!"

"That was wonderful, Shuzhen! Your stunned reaction just now was amazing! Absolutely perfect!"

Upon hearing Wang Jing's voice, Qiu Shuzhen seemed to snap out of her daze.

Her heart pounded wildly, and she couldn't help but look down at Xiao Chen.

The other person had reverted to their innocent and naive self, looking up at her with a puzzled expression through their clear, large eyes.

"Sister, why aren't you saying anything?"

It was still that childlike voice and soft, gentle tone.

Qiu Shuzhen felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

She looked at her slightly trembling hands, then at Xiao Chen's innocent-looking face.

After so many years in this industry, this is the first time I've had doubts about my profession.

Just now... was she distracted from the scene by a three-year-old child?

This is hardly the work of a genius.

This is clearly a monster!
