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

After hanging up the phone and hearing the busy tone on the other end, the faint smile on Xiao Chen's face vanished.

He gently placed his phone on the windowsill and looked out at the hazy sky over Beijing.

The reactions of Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui were exactly what he expected.

"Echoes of the Rainbow" is not just a simple script; it is an epitome of an entire generation of Hong Kong people.

It is a shared memory for countless families at the foot of Lion Rock.

For those who came from that era, the destructive power was devastating.

Now that the emotions have been fully expressed, all that remains is to etch this feeling of being moved into memory.

Xiao Chen picked up his phone and dialed Wang Jinhua's number.

The phone rang once and was answered.

"Hey, Xiao Chen? What's wrong?"

Xiao Chen spoke directly.

"Aunt Hua, get ready."

"The movie 'Echoes of the Rainbow' is about to start filming."

Wang Jinhua was visibly stunned for a moment, then burst into uncontrollable joy.

"Is it the script you wrote when you were filming 'Home with Kids'?"

"So fast?"

"What about my brother and Sister Fang..."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"They agreed and demanded that the machine be turned on immediately."

Wang Jinhua's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

"Very good!"

She covered the microphone and gave a few instructions to the people around her, and the surrounding noise subsided.

"I'm currently preparing for 'Super Girl,' but that's okay!"

"I'll immediately assemble a special team to create 'Echoes of the Rainbow'!"

"Don't worry, I'll handle everything!"

Wang Jinhua's words revealed her professionalism.

This is what Xiao Chen admires about her: she always has a clear goal and outstanding execution ability.

Wang Jinhua then asked.

"What about the actors?"

"Besides the older brother and Sister Fang, do you have anyone in mind for the role of Luo Jinyi?"

Luo Jinyi.

That outstanding student, romantic to the core, who ultimately lost his life to illness—my beloved brother.

He is one of the key figures in the entire story, and casting him is crucial.

After a moment's thought, Wang Jinhua offered her suggestion.

"Currently, there are four of the most popular young male actors in mainland China, known as the Four Little Fresh Meat."

"Huang Xiaoming, Yin Xiaotian, Tong Dawei, and Nie Yuan."

"They have a good image and are quite popular. Should I contact them and have them audition?"

Hearing these familiar names, Xiao Chen's brows furrowed involuntarily.

His mind instantly flashed through the career paths and image positioning of these individuals.

to be frank.

Whether their acting skills are good or not is another matter, the problem is that their appearances are not suitable.

The character of Luo Jinyi requires a clean yet vulnerable sense of youthfulness.

He needs to possess the elegance of British style, and also a pair of eyes brimming with dreams.

His handsomeness isn't the rugged kind, nor is it the effeminate kind.

Rather, it is a poetic beauty, one that carries a sense of fragility.

Those few...

Neither of them quite suits my taste.

Xiao Chen spoke calmly, rejecting Wang Jinhua's suggestion.

"No."

"I already have someone in mind."

Wang Jinhua asked immediately.

"Who?"

Xiao Chen uttered three words.

"Wu Yan Group".

Wang Jinhua fell into a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

She was clearly searching her mind for information about this person.

Wu Yanzu is already somewhat famous in Hong Kong, but in mainland China, his popularity is far less than that of the "Four Little Fresh Meat" (a group of popular young male actors).

But she did not question it.

Over the years, every decision Xiao Chen made has been proven to be absolutely correct.

His insight is so sharp it's frightening.

Wang Jinhua did not hesitate at all.

"Okay, I'll contact him right away."

"Then... what about the director? Or will you do it yourself?"

Xiao Chen responded softly.

"Um."

This film is his love letter to that era, and he wanted to complete it himself.

"Understood."

Wang Jinhua hung up the phone and immediately began making arrangements.

……

On the other side, in Hong Kong.

Wu Yan's team has just finished a cover shoot for a fashion magazine.

The assistant handed over a phone, which displayed an unfamiliar number from Beijing.

He answered the call with some confusion.

Hello.

The voice on the other end of the phone was polite and professional.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Wu Yanzu?"

"I am Wang Jinhua, Mr. Xiao Chen's agent."

Wu Yanzu was taken aback.

Xiao Chen?

This name is now known to everyone in the entire Chinese-speaking entertainment industry.

A prodigy who just won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director.

Wu Yanzu's tone also became more polite.

"Hello, Ms. Wang."

Wang Jinhua got straight to the point.

"That's right, Mr. Wu."

"We have a new movie here called 'Echoes of the Rainbow,' and we would like to invite you to play one of the male leads, Law Chun-yat."

Wu Yan's agent was right next to him.

Upon hearing this, he immediately moved closer, his face full of vigilance.

Mainland Chinese films?

Wu Yanzu didn't react much, only asking politely.

Could you give me a brief introduction?

Wang Jinhua's voice was filled with confidence.

"certainly."

"The other two lead actors in this film are Mr. Leslie Cheung and Ms. Anita Mui."

???

Wu Yanzu's mouth dropped open slightly in surprise.

He thought he had misheard.

Leslie Cheung?

Anita Mui?

They're going to star in the same movie?

What an incredible, top-tier configuration!

Let alone playing one of the main characters, even just having a cameo appearance would be enough to make any actor flock to it!

The agent next to him stared wide-eyed, gesturing wildly and mouthing the words "I want to shout!"

"catch!"

Answer it quickly!

Wu Yanzu's heart skipped a beat. He suppressed his excitement and asked.

"So...who are the director and screenwriter of this movie?"

He wanted to know who these two great figures were.

Wang Jinhua's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible laughter.

"Xiao Chen is both the screenwriter and the director."

Wu Yan's group: ...

This time, Wu Yan's group was completely stunned.

That twelve-year-old boy?

Although there have been enough rumors about Xiao Chen, hearing them with my own ears still feels a bit unreal.

In other words.

Xiao Chen not only wrote a script that both Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui approved of, but he also... directed it himself?

Wu Yanzu swallowed hard.

I don't know why.

This seemingly absurd news, when spoken by Wang Jinhua, carried an undeniable power.

Absurd, yet brimming with deadly allure.

A twelve-year-old director who could make Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui willingly play supporting roles for him.

This combination is more dramatic than any movie.

Without any hesitation, Wu Yanzu blurted out.

"I'll act it out."

He didn't even ask about the pay, the availability, or the script.

He was simply witnessing it.

I want to see for myself what kind of person this boy, who is rumored to be so amazing, really is.
