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

She laughed so hard she bent over, pointing at Xiao Chen, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Director Lin Cong was laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes behind the monitor.

"Cut! Cut! Cut!"

The entire crew, from the actors to the production assistants, burst into laughter.

Yang Zi and You Haoran laughed so hard they rolled around on their chairs.

That's absolutely amazing!

This line is simply a stroke of genius.

It perfectly showcased Liu Xing's tendency to say things that would shock and provoke!

Lin wiped away the tears that had come out of his laughter, and a huge weight was lifted from his heart.

Become!

This show is absolutely going to be a hit!

With such a vivid and lifelike portrayal of Liu Xing, how could the ratings be a problem?

Filming is progressing smoothly, and Xiao Chen has fully integrated into life on set.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was April 1, 2003.

April Fools' Day.

Xiao Chen didn't have any scenes to film that day, so he stayed home.

Looking at the bustling traffic outside the alley, I felt inexplicably uneasy.

In his past life, on this very day, my brother jumped from a hotel in Hong Kong, ending his legendary life.

In this life, he changed many things.

But he didn't know whether this small act of kindness could change the inevitable tragedy.

Moreover, during their long time together, Xiao Chen no longer regarded Leslie Cheung as just a senior from his past life.

He truly regarded Leslie Cheung as an older brother and a close friend.

After thinking about it, he decided to call and confirm.

The call was connected.

The receiver emitted a busy tone.

One sound, two sounds, three sounds...

Cold sweat beaded on Xiao Chen's forehead.

Why aren't you answering the phone?

The phone rang until it was automatically disconnected, but no one answered.

Has nothing changed yet?

Xiao Chen felt a little flustered.

He forced himself to calm down, sort out his thoughts, and then quickly dialed another number.

Sister Mei's phone call.

The call was quickly connected, and Mei Yanfang's voice came through.

"Feed?"

Xiao Chen's heart jumped into his throat, and he asked anxiously.

"Sister Mei, brother..."

"Is your brother with you?"

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Those two seconds felt like an eternity to Xiao Chen.

Just when he was about to give up, he heard Anita Mui's hearty laughter through the receiver.

"You little rascal, do you need something from him?"

"Of course he's here! He's having a party at my house!"

"It's so noisy! I'm fighting with those people for the microphone to sing!"

As she spoke, Mei Yanfang moved her phone further away and shouted loudly.

"Hey! Brother! Someone's looking for you!"

"Xiao Chen's phone call!"

Immediately after a burst of background noise, a gentle and familiar voice came from the receiver.

"Feed? Is that Xiao Chen?"

"Why do you have time to call your brother?"

"Did you win the Golden Horse Award? Are you going to treat me to dinner?"

Fortunately.

Hearing this voice, Xiao Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

For some reason, he couldn't say a word at the moment, and only felt his eyes were slightly sore.

It's like knowing a loved one who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and then given a new lease on life.

Xiao Chen knew.

Leslie Cheung in this world.

I won't leave again.

There was no sound from the other end of the phone for a long time, and Leslie Cheung's voice was filled with doubt.

"Feed? Xiao Chen? Are you listening?"

Xiao Chen blinked hard, forcing back the tears that were about to well up.

He smiled and spoke softly into the phone.

"...Yes, brother, I'm here."

Happy April Fool's Day.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Chen's tense nerves finally relaxed.

He leaned against the wall and slowly slid down to sit on the ground.

The warm sunlight streaming in through the window dispelled the last vestiges of chill in his heart.

This world is wonderful.

……

The filming set of "Home with Kids" was as lively as ever.

Director Lin Cong was enthusiastically explaining the scene to Yang Zi and You Haoran, making the two young actors laugh heartily.

Xiao Chen sat on a small stool to the side, holding the script in his hands, but his mind was wandering elsewhere.

A sitcom was no challenge for him.

Here, it feels more like a long vacation.

A hurried, energetic voice rang out.

"Xiao Chen!"

Wang Jinhua strode into the photography studio in high heels, carrying a large black suit bag in her hand.

She walked straight up to Xiao Chen and shoved the bag into his arms.

"Did you receive the invitation to the Golden Horse Awards?"

"Go try on the clothes quickly."

Xiao Chen looked down at the bag with the high-end custom logo, then looked up at Wang Jinhua's unyielding expression.

He didn't move.

Wang Jinhua raised an eyebrow.

"What? You don't like it?"

"I'll find the best tailor in Hong Kong to make it to your specifications. From the fabric to the cut, everything is top-notch."

Xiao Chen's voice was very soft.

"Aunt Hua, there's no need to go to such trouble."

In his previous life, he spent his entire life playing minor roles. He rarely got to sit at the head table, let alone win the Golden Horse Award or even at the wrap party of a film crew.

Now that the light is shining on him, he feels somewhat uncomfortable.

My subconscious thought was to attend the awards ceremony in the most unassuming way.

Wang Jinhua misunderstood his meaning.

She crouched down to be at eye level with Xiao Chen, her tone unusually gentle.

"Xiao Chen, I know you don't like these things."

"But this time is different."

"This is the first time you've stood on the highest awards stage for Chinese-language films as a director."

"You represent not only yourself, but also the entire Infernal Affairs crew."

"We're going, and we're going in style."

Xiao Chen fell silent.

He had no reason to reject what he couldn't obtain in his past life.

He nodded slightly.

"it is good."

Wang Jinhua was taken aback by this "good" comment.

She had prepared a long speech to persuade him, but she didn't expect the child to be so easy to talk to today.

She immediately smiled and ruffled Xiao Chen's hair.

"Go ahead, put it on and let me see."

……

A few days later.

Bay City, the Golden Horse Awards ceremony.

Night had already fallen, but the area outside the venue was as bright as day.

The red carpet was packed with media reporters on both sides.

The flashes of cameras from various lenses created a silvery sea, with a constant clicking sound.

One by one, glamorous celebrities strolled gracefully down the red carpet, flashing their most perfect smiles at the cameras.

A veteran entertainment reporter lowered his voice and asked his colleague next to him.

"Hey, is he here yet? That little director who made 'Infernal Affairs'."

"Not yet, what's the rush? Andy Lau and Tony Leung just passed by, aren't you going to take a few more pictures?"

"What are you filming? It's the same people every year. Today I just want to see what that legendary prodigy looks like!"

"I heard she's only 12? Really? She filmed 'Infernal Affairs' at 12? She must have been looking at storyboards since she was in the womb!"

"Who knows? Anyway, he's the biggest mystery tonight."

Amidst the murmurs, a black van silently glided to the entrance of the red carpet.

The car door opened.

First to step out was a pair of gleaming calfskin shoes, followed by the crisp, straight legs of dress trousers.
