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

Xiao Chen pushed open the wooden door.

Inside the door, the light was dim.

Several people sat around the conference table, the atmosphere heavy with tension.

Directly opposite the door stood a woman with brown curly hair and a stubborn expression.

Xiao Chen recognized her as J.K. Rowling, the copyright holder of the film.

Sitting opposite her were the film's director, producer, and investors.

They are clearly arguing.

The producer frowned, looking helpless.

"Joe, I know you're determined."

"But as the investors have said, if the casting is uncertain, the project cannot proceed."

Before Rowling could speak, the investor scoffed and spread his hands.

"Perhaps she's just using this as a reason to raise copyright fees?"

Rowling's body trembled slightly, and she looked sharply at the investor, her eyes filled with anger.

"you!"

Just when the atmosphere was at its most tense, Xiao Chen walked into the room.

The arguing stopped.

Everyone looked at him.

The twelve-year-old boy was tall and slender, yet still retained a childlike innocence.

His black hair fell smoothly over his forehead, and his eyes, in particular, seemed to hold the stars and the sea.

He had fair skin and a high nose bridge.

It was a beauty that transcended gender, a beauty that took your breath away.

The pen in the producer's hand quietly slipped onto the table.

The investor's disdain and impatience froze the moment he saw Xiao Chen.

Rowling was also stunned.

She had never seen such an exquisite Eastern boy.

After a brief moment of amazement, the producer's brows slowly furrowed again.

"Hey little one, did you come to the wrong room?"

The producer sized up Xiao Chen.

"This is the audition for Harry Potter. We're looking for someone to play Harry Potter."

"Hmm...you are very beautiful, but you are of Asian descent."

The implication is clear: Harry Potter is a Western story and should be performed by Western children.

Xiao Chen didn't speak, he just stood there quietly.

He looked at the producer with just the right amount of confusion and a hint of offended grievance.

This was not his intention; he was simply acting out Harry Potter's reaction to the doubts he faced when Dumbledore chose him.

He already knew all of Harry's traits by heart.

I know what kind of person this boy is.

From the moment he opened the door, he deliberately revealed the reserved and stubborn temperament that Harry Potter possessed.

Rowling's gaze remained fixed on Xiao Chen.

Unlike the producer, she didn't rush him to leave.

Instead, she observed him from beginning to end.

His black hair.

Deep-set eyes.

Isn't this just like the Harry Potter she described in her books?!

Which of those blond kids in the British Isles can really look like Harry?

Harry's hair was originally black.

Rowling's heart began to pound uncontrollably.

She had already given up hope of getting the role.

He even began to doubt whether the characters he created truly existed only in words.

But now, this young man from the East has given her a glimmer of hope.

Rowling suddenly spoke.

"etc."

Producers and investors alike turned their attention to her.

Rowling took off her glasses, rubbed her tired brow, and her eyes were brighter than ever before.

"Child, what's your name?"

Xiao Chen answered.

"My name is Xiao Chen."

Rowling nodded, her tone softening.

"Xiao Chen, I have a few questions for you."

"If you knew that your parents were killed by an evil wizard."

"But you were protected in an ordinary family who knew nothing about the truth."

"One day, you suddenly discover that you possess magic."

She stared intently into Xiao Chen's eyes, observing his every subtle expression.

"Would you choose to seek revenge?"

"Or will you choose to explore that magical world you've never known before?"

This is a tricky question.

Especially since the questions were raised by the original author.

Xiao Chen did not answer immediately.

He thought of Harry's anger upon learning the truth, and his longing for Hogwarts.

Finally, Xiao Chen raised his head.

"I'll go explore that magical world first."

"How can I talk about revenge if I don't even know who I am?"

He tilted his head, his brows revealing a stubbornness unique to Harry Potter.

"I want to know who I am and what my parents were like."

"I want to know what that wizard did."

"And all the answers to these questions lie in that magical world I've never known before."

He paused for a moment, his eyes resolute.

"Only when I truly understand everything can I decide what I should do."

Rowling's pupils suddenly contracted, as if she had been struck by a huge electric current.

it's him!

Xiao Chen is the Harry Potter she created!

The child's answer reflects a thirst for the truth and a desire to explore the unknown.

Even the caution and determination in the face of a powerful enemy.

It's practically identical to Harry Potter!

The producers and investors looked at each other in bewilderment.

They didn't understand Rowling's question.

I just felt that this young man from the East had a sweet tongue and spoke very nicely.

The producer tried to speak.

"Joe, I don't think we should waste our time on this child..."

Rowling slammed her hand on the table.

"That's enough!"

"That's him!"

She jumped up from her chair, pointed at Xiao Chen, and her voice was full of fanaticism.

"He is my Harry Potter!"

"This role requires no further auditions!"

The producers and investors were stunned.

Rowling, whom even the local actors in the UK look down on.

Now, they've so easily settled on... an Eastern boy?

The producer got up anxiously.

"Joe!"

"Are you kidding me? He's Asian!"

"How can an Asian child play Harry Potter?"

The investors also came to their senses, their faces showing anger.

"Ms. Joanna, we know you might really like his looks."

"But this is Harry Potter!"

"This is a movie the whole world is looking forward to!"

"We can't ruin it because of your momentary whim!"

Rowling's gaze swept over the two of them, her eyes filled with undeniable authority.

"First of all, Harry Potter's hair was originally black!"

"Secondly, this child's eyes and his demeanor perfectly match everything I wrote about Harry!"

"He's Harry Potter in real life!"

"It would have been fine if Xiao Chen hadn't shown up, but now he has..."

As she spoke, Rowling took a deep breath, her tone threatening.

"If Xiao Chen doesn't star in 'Harry Potter'."

"Then I'm sorry, I will not sell the film rights to this novel to you."

"I'd rather it exist only in my book forever!"

? ? ? ?

No?

Why suddenly go all out?

The producers and investors were instantly dumbfounded.

I never expected Rowling to say something like that just to get Xiao Chen the lead role.

You should know that no one in the world wants to recreate the magical world she created more than she does!
