Good guy.

This is hardly an audition.

It's practically a year-end party for Hollywood's new generation of male gods!

Each of these individuals, taken individually, is a rising star capable of carrying a big-budget film at the box office.

At this moment, they each held a few thin pages of script in their hands.

His expression was arrogant, yet subtly tense.

When Xiao Chen and Wang Jinhua walked in, the conversation in the lounge paused briefly.

All eyes turned to them.

A blond, blue-eyed actor who had just been showing off his eight-pack abs to his companions suddenly froze with a smile.

He subconsciously touched his face, and for the first time, he began to doubt his once-proud appearance.

An actress sitting in a corner reciting her lines had her script fall to the ground with a thud.

But she was completely oblivious, staring intently in Xiao Chen's direction.

Too beautiful.

Xiao Chen's appearance is beyond just being handsome; he's practically a walking work of art.

Wang Jinhua took in all of this, and her heart was filled with shock and turmoil.

She knew Xiao Chen was handsome, but she had never felt so directly that this face also possessed a devastating power in the Western world.

Xiao Chen simply smiled faintly, as if he hadn't noticed the stares he was getting.

He found an empty seat and sat down with a composed demeanor.

Not far away, Leonardo DiCaprio was observing Xiao Chen with great interest.

He whistled and spoke to his companions.

"Hey, look at that Asian boy."

"He's so handsome, isn't he?"

His tone was playful, but deep in his eyes there was a hint of wariness.

As a Hollywood icon known for his stunning good looks, he felt threatened for the first time by another person.

It was a pure, overwhelming visual impact, capable of shattering everything with just one face.

Just as everyone was paying attention to Xiao Chen, a staff member called out while holding a list.

"Next up, Xiao Chen!"

Wang Jinhua immediately stood up and nervously straightened her clothes.

"Xiao Chen, it's our turn."

Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and his eyes were frighteningly clear.

He stood up; at over 1.8 meters tall, he was in no way inferior to the group of white actors.

His slender figure resembled a tall, upright pine tree.

He smiled reassuringly at Wang Jinhua and walked towards the audition room first.

The moment he pushed open the door, the future of all of Hollywood seemed to shift.

There were three people sitting in the audition room.

The man in the middle is none other than the famous director, James Cameron.

With his messy hair, he was impatiently flipping through the actor information in his hand.

Sitting next to him were the casting director and the producer, both of whom looked exhausted.

Clearly, the afternoon of auditions did not allow them to find the person they wanted.

Cameron didn't even look up, his voice full of annoyance.

"Another one?"

"Have him read the lines from Act III, Scene II, where Jack is drawing on the deck."

The casting director was about to speak when Cameron glanced at him, which silenced him.

Cameron's gaze settled on Xiao Chen standing at the door.

He was stunned.

The resume in my hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

All of Cameron's imaginings about Jack instantly materialized.

What he wanted was not just a handsome actor.

He wanted a man who could make every viewer understand why Rose would give up everything the moment they saw him.

What he wanted was that youthful spirit that couldn't be concealed even in tattered clothes.

His eyes held both the melancholy of an artist and the madness of a gambler.

It's the kind of breathtaking beauty that doesn't belong to that dirty, worldly society and could vanish with the wind at any moment.

But this young man from the East doesn't need to do anything.

He just stood there.

The light had already fallen on him.

His eyebrows and his eyes combined to form a face so perfect it was unreal.

What's even more deadly is his demeanor.

Clean, pure.

Isn't that his Jack?!

The producer whispered a reminder.

"director?"

Cameron snapped back to reality.

He waved his hand and spoke to the casting director.

"No need to try."

The casting director and producer were dumbfounded.

Wang Jinhua's heart sank.

No need to try anymore?

Does this mean they're not even giving you a chance?

Indeed, getting into Hollywood is not an easy task.

Even though Xiao Chen has acted in "Home Alone" and "Harry Potter".

But in Hollywood, where blockbusters are as numerous as cattle, people with Asian features are naturally discriminated against.

Just as Wang Jinhua was about to leave with Xiao Chen, she heard Cameron's unquestionable voice ring out again.

"It's him."

"My Jack, I've found him."

"Let all the people who came to try Jack leave."

These few words, like a thunderclap, exploded in the small audition room.

The casting director's mouth gaped open, almost big enough to fit an egg.

"But director, he... he hasn't read his lines yet."

The producer is getting anxious.

"James! Are you crazy? He's Asian!"

"You cast an Asian actor to play Jack Dawson?"

"This is not historically accurate!"

Cameron slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"What utter nonsense about historical facts!"

He pointed at Xiao Chen, his eyes shining as if he had discovered a priceless treasure.

"Look at his face! What lines does he need?"

"His very presence here is the most touching love confession!"

"I don't care where he's from, from this day forward, he's Jack Dawson!"

"Anyone who has a problem with this, get out of this project!"

The title of tyrant is indeed well-deserved.

Wang Jinhua stood there, stunned, feeling like her brain wasn't quite working properly.

No child?

He was selected just like that?

She imagined that Xiao Chen would win over the director with his superb acting skills.

Or they might be favored because of their fluent spoken English.

I even considered the possibility of failure.

But she never expected that Xiao Chen would be chosen as the lead actor in such an outrageous way.

Just because of a face?

Without even needing to read a single line, the male lead for this epic masterpiece was decided directly?

Isn't this a bit too outrageous?

Xiao Chen, at the center of the storm, remained calm throughout.

He simply bowed slightly to Cameron and spoke in a pure Dunhuang accent.

"Thank you, sir."

I won't let you down.

(Thank you, sir. I won't let you down.)

The voice is clear, pleasant, and melodious.

Cameron looked at him, becoming more and more satisfied.

"Great! That's wonderful!"

He rushed over and excitedly grasped Xiao Chen's hand.

"Child, what's your name?"

Clearly, Cameron doesn't know much about child stars.

Xiao Chen answered with a smile.

"Xiao Chen".

Cameron's eyes grew brighter as he pronounced the somewhat tongue-twisting name.

"Xiao...Chen..."

"Great! From this day forward, the whole world will remember this name!"

It's not child star Xiao Chen.

It's actor Xiao Chen!
