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

With a deafening roar, towering flames instantly engulfed the racetrack, and a wave of scorching heat swept over us.

It made everyone dozens of meters away feel suffocated.

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

The director's eyes were wide open, like copper bells, and he didn't blink.

Just as the enormous fireball was about to reach its maximum size, a bolt of silver lightning tore through the flames!

The Aston Martin resembles a ghostly war machine emerging from hell, with even a few wisps of flame wrapped around its body.

It burst forth from the heart of the flames with an unstoppable force!

Unharmed.

It didn't even slow down in the slightest.

After passing through the sea of ​​fire, the car slid forward for nearly a hundred meters, accompanied by a smooth and linear braking sound.

Finally, it came to a steady stop at the predetermined finish line, not a minute more, not a cent less.

perfect.

A deathly silence enveloped the entire film set.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

"Click—!"

The director mustered all his strength and let out a deafening roar.

"Passed! Passed! Passed!"

He threw off his headphones and charged like a madman toward the supercar that had just been through a fire, his face covered in tears and snot.

Immediately afterwards, the entire set erupted in thunderous cheers and applause.

All staff members, regardless of nationality or position, were going crazy over the miraculous scene that had just unfolded.

The car door opened.

Xiao Chen calmly stepped out of the driver's seat.

His expensive custom-made suit was still impeccably tailored, without a single wrinkle.

The intense heat of the flames seemed to have left no mark on him.

On that stunningly handsome face, there was only a faint smile, as if he had accomplished something insignificant.

He raised his hand and gently brushed away non-existent dust from his shoulder.

"Director, how's the effect?"

His voice was soft, yet it exploded like a bomb in the director's ear.

"Ancestors! My dear ancestors!"

The director hugged Xiao Chen tightly and cried like a 300-pound child.

"You fucking scared me to death! I thought... I thought..."

He was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently and could only pat Xiao Chen's back forcefully.

"This shot! This shot is fucking legendary and deserves to be recorded in film history!"

"This 'Fast & Furious' franchise is going to be a hit! It's guaranteed to be a hit!"

Xiao Chen was a little breathless from being squeezed so tightly, so he could only smile helplessly and pat his back to comfort him.

"Director, mind your image."

At that moment, Jackson walked over with his group of equally dumbfounded stunt drivers.

They looked at Xiao Chen with eyes full of awe, even a hint of fear.

"Mr. Xiao."

Jackson's tone was more respectful than ever before; he even bowed slightly.

"I retract all my previous opinions."

"You...you are the most professional driver I have ever seen. No, you are not a driver at all, you are an artist."

He looked at the perfectly intact Aston Martin, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

"Even I wasn't 100% confident I could have done that timing when I went through the wall of fire just now."

"You...you are simply a miracle."

Xiao Chen looked at this top Hollywood stunt master, nodded politely, then winked and replied in fluent English.

"It's just a hobby; I hope professionals won't find it laughable."

The phrase "a hobby" left Jackson and his team members speechless.

The expressions on their faces were priceless, as if they had been slapped countless times in public, yet dared not utter a single word.

Hobbies?

If this is called a hobby, then what about those who make a living by playing with cars?

Is it at a kindergarten level?

Xiao Chen ignored them and looked at the director.

"Director, if there are no problems, I'll go remove my makeup first."

"Aunt Hua will probably call soon."

When he mentioned Wang Jinhua, the director suddenly remembered her, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

Yes, if that woman, who's known for being fiercely protective of her own, knew that her movie star had pulled something like this today, she really would come to the film set with a knife!

Looking at Xiao Chen's harmless smiling face, the director suddenly realized that this guy, though seemingly easygoing, was crazier than anyone else at heart.

He not only conquered the track, but also won over the hearts of everyone present.

This man was born to create legends.

That car chase scene, which can almost be said to be recorded in history, was like an adrenaline shot for the entire crew.

Everyone was in a state of high excitement, which boosted the filming efficiency by more than one level.

The director's passion was completely ignited, and he made bold and decisive changes.

They moved up a major fight scene that was originally scheduled for three days later.

"Lights! Props!"

"Get ready for the warehouse showdown in Group B!"

"Xiao, are you alright? You just finished filming the car chase scene, are you still got the stamina?"

The director looked at Xiao Chen with some concern.

Xiao Chen had just changed into a black tight-fitting vest and cargo pants, revealing his well-defined and powerful arm muscles.

He was flexing his wrists when he heard this, and just smiled easily.

"Don't worry, director, dramatic scenes are tiring, this is relaxing."

A simple "Relax" put action director Sam Hogg, who was on high alert, to his immediate response.

And his group of tall, burly stunt performers all twitched at the corners of their mouths.

Good heavens, they meticulously planned and rehearsed a life-or-death battle for over a week.

In this guy's eyes, it's just an after-dinner pastime?

Sam is a veteran action choreographer in Hollywood, with extensive experience working with countless action stars.

He stepped forward, pointing to the complex scene inside the warehouse constructed with steel frames, his tone professional and serious.

"Mr. Xiao, we designed three main parts for this scene."

"First, there's the surprise attack here. You'll use a wire to swing down from the second floor and kick two enemies away."

"Then there's the chase and fighting here. We'll provide you with props, mainly iron bars, to deal with them."

"Finally, it was a one-on-one fight with the villain leader."

"We designed a set of moves that are more like mixed martial arts, with a strong visual impact."

He explained it in great detail, as if afraid that the movie star might not understand something.

After all, in their view, an actor of Xiao Chen's caliber is already very dedicated for personally performing his own stunts.

In terms of technical stunts, they mainly rely on camera work and stunt doubles.

However, after listening, Xiao Chen simply looked at him calmly.

"Sam, your design is brilliant, but it's too 'Hollywood'."

Sam was stunned.

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Chen's words were concise and to the point.

"Too flashy, not painful enough."

He walked up to a stuntman, a burly man over 1.9 meters tall, who was a whole size bigger than Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen asked politely.

Would you mind cooperating with me?

The burly man looked at Sam, and after receiving a nod of approval, he assumed a fighting stance.

"Come on, Mr. Xiao."

He clearly didn't take Xiao Chen seriously, thinking it was just a formality.
