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

On a film set outside London, sunlight shines on an ancient castle.

The sounds of children chasing and playing added a touch of everyday life to this magical filming experience.

A gasp broke the silence.

"Rupert! You've stolen the props again!"

Xiao Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw a chubby little boy with red hair, his face covered in chocolate sauce, caught red-handed by the film crew's assistant.

Rupert stared with his round eyes, the chocolate frog in his hand now only half full.

unambiguous evidence.

He's stubborn.

"I...I didn't!"

The assistant was annoyed.

"My drool is dripping down my chin!"

Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly, took a step, and walked to Rupert's side.

"Alright, let him eat it."

When the assistant saw that it was Xiao Chen, her tone softened a bit.

"Xiao Chen, stop spoiling him."

Xiao Chen blinked at Rupert, then took a clean tissue out of his pocket and handed it to him.

"Just this once, don't do it again next time."

Rupert grinned at him gratefully, a smile full of childlike slyness.

Not far away, Emma was quietly taking a bottle of pumpkin juice out of her prop box.

She felt guilty, but Xiao Chen still caught her out of the corner of his eye.

Xiao Chen coughed lightly.

Emma jolted, nearly dropping the bottle from her hand.

She called out softly.

"Chen!"

Xiao Chen just gave her a knowing look, said nothing, and turned back to continue playing with Rupert.

That bottle of pumpkin juice eventually ended up in Emma's stomach.

Later, the props team discovered that the chocolate frog and pumpkin juice had disappeared.

The adults on set surrounded the three little ones, asking questions and scrutinizing them.

Rupert stammered, while Emma remained silent with her head down.

Xiao Chen just smiled, a pure and innocent smile, as if everything was irrelevant to him.

How could adults not understand?

Seeing the three little ones' expressions, I was both amused and exasperated, and in the end, I had no choice but to give up.

Many people on set were joking around.

"These three little guys are practically Harry, Ron, and Hermione themselves!"

"Yes, especially Xiao Chen, he brought Harry Potter to life!"

"It's so nice to see them; it makes me want to go back to my childhood."

The atmosphere on set was peaceful and harmonious.

the other side.

The atmosphere of the Shiba culture in China is not so relaxed.

In the conference room, the phone rang incessantly.

The project leaders had furrowed brows and looked increasingly grim.

"Mr. Andy Lau's agent said that he has a scheduling conflict and cannot perform."

"Mr. Leung Chiu-wai rejected it outright without even reading the script."

"As for Professor Huang Qiusheng..."

"Ms. Kelly Chen said she only accepts leading roles."

The reports grew increasingly lower and more subdued.

Wang Jinhua's assistant, Xiao Li, held the phone in her hand, on the verge of tears.

She's been on the phone all morning.

The names Xiao Chen wrote down on the list were all impressive, but also all incredibly difficult to deal with.

She used almost every connection she could, but what was the result?

Hit a wall!

All I've encountered are setbacks!

Xiao Li felt like he was suffocating.

Who would have thought that inviting these award-winning actors and actresses would be harder than climbing to heaven?

Next to Xiao Li, a project manager pressed for answers.

"What did they say?"

Xiao Li's voice was trembling with tears.

"They...they all asked who the director was..."

"As soon as they heard it was... a twelve-year-old kid, they hung up the phone immediately."

"Some agents even laughed out loud, asking if we were here to be funny?"

The conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Let alone these award-winning actors and actresses, even they couldn't understand what Wang Jinhua was thinking.

They actually let a twelve-year-old child serve as producer and director.

No wonder no one would be willing to act in this movie!

Wang Jinhua is currently in the UK, but through the phone call, she also felt the predicament in China.

"Xiao Li, please explain the situation in more detail."

Xiao Li's voice was full of grievance.

"Mr. Wang, that's the situation."

"We've done our best."

"These people simply can't believe that the producer and director of an S-level film would be a twelve-year-old child!"

Another person in charge added.

"Spending more money won't help!"

Wang Jinhua's brows were tightly furrowed.

She had anticipated resistance, but she hadn't expected it to be this strong.

She paused for a few seconds, then took a deep breath.

"Don't worry, let me ask Xiao Chen."

Xiao Chen sat down to rest not far away, and Wang Jinhua walked over.

"Xiao Chen, we're having some trouble inviting actors back home."

Xiao Chen remained calm as always.

"Um?"

"What's wrong, Aunt Hua?"

Wang Jinhua told him in detail about the obstacles she encountered in China.

The award-winning actors and actresses showed great distrust and distrust of a twelve-year-old child serving as director and producer.

Wang Jinhua sighed, her expression full of helplessness.

"So, what should we do now?"

Xiao Chen remained silent for a moment.

His mind quickly sifted through the names on the list, as well as the personalities of these actors.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Chen spoke again.

"Aunt Hua."

"Don't rush."

"Continue to invite them."

"We will focus on actors who have experienced some career bottlenecks in recent years or who urgently need to make a career transition."

"Also, we can try to recruit some veteran artists who are willing to mentor newcomers."

As Wang Jinhua listened, her eyes gradually brightened.

Xiao Chen's thinking is always so clear.

"I see!"

"There are a few phone numbers I could call myself and see!"

Meanwhile, in Hong Kong.

Inside Anita Mui's private villa, the lights were on and songs filled the air.

A grand family gathering is underway.

Everyone here is Anita Mui's friend from the entertainment industry. She enjoys being around people and chatting with them.

Andy Lau was holding a glass of red wine and chatting with Tony Leung.

Leung Chiu-wai gently swirled his wine glass, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

"Andy Lau? Are you looking at a new script lately?"

Andy Lau smiled.

"Yes, I'm looking for a breakthrough."

"It's about transformation; if we don't transform now, it will be too late to become a force to be reckoned with."

Just then, Andy Lau's phone rang.

The number flashing on the screen is an international long-distance call from the UK.

He raised an eyebrow and answered the phone.

"Feed? Golden Flower?"

Many of the films Andy Lau has starred in over the years have received investment from 18 Culture.

So he and Wang Jinhua were acquainted.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Jinhua sounded anxious.

"Hua-zai, I'm sorry to bother you."

"There's an S-level film project we'd like to invite you to star in."

Andy Lau wasn't very interested, but he still asked a question.

"Oh?"

Who are the director and producer?

Wang Jinhua hesitated for a moment, then forced herself to speak.

"this……"

"It's Xiao Chen."

Andy Lau thought for a moment, then realized he didn't recall it.

"Xiao Chen?"

"I've never heard of this director."

Wang Jinhua was almost sweating profusely.

"It's... Xiao Chen, the one who acted in 'The New Legend of Shaolin' and 'Shaolin Popeye'..."

Andy Lau paused.

"You mean...?"

His voice carried a hint of disbelief.

"That child?"
