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

When I left Paramount, the Los Angeles sun was shining brightly.

Wang Jinhua was still somewhat dazed; the thin letter of intent in her hand felt frighteningly hot.

She turned to look at Xiao Chen beside her; the young man's handsome profile was gilded in the sunlight.

"Xiao Chen, why do I feel like I'm dreaming?"

"You were just chosen like that?"

"There wasn't even an audition???"

Let alone Hollywood.

Even in China, big-budget movies require auditions!

Xiao Chen turned his head and winked at her.

"Aunt Hua, do you want me to pinch you?"

His voice had a hint of mischief.

Wang Jinhua gave a curt reply, her dazed mood shattered by Xiao Chen.

But taking a deep breath and looking at Xiao Chen again, Wang Jinhua couldn't help but admire him.

It's often said that child stars have a short bloom.

Nine out of ten child stars are disabled.

Why does she feel that Xiao Chen is becoming more and more incredible?

Back at the hotel, Wang Jinhua immediately threw herself into the tug-of-war with Paramount over the contract details.

Xiao Chen, meanwhile, brewed himself a cup of tea, sat by the floor-to-ceiling window, and gazed down at the dazzling night view of this film capital.

Just as he was letting his mind wander, his phone vibrated.

It was a number that hadn't called in a long time, and its location was Beijing.

Fairy Sister.

Xiao Chen answered the call.

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Feed?"

"Is it Xiao Chen?"

Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised, not expecting Liu Yifei to suddenly call him, but her voice remained gentle.

"Fairy Sister?"

"it's me."

The girl on the other end of the phone seemed surprised that Xiao Chen actually remembered her.

She took a deep breath and spoke into the phone.

"Xiao Chen, I've thought it through."

"I want to act."

Liu Yifei still remembers the promise she made five years ago.

Unlike her previous life where she frivolously entered this industry, Liu Yifei in this life has a thorough understanding of the entertainment circle.

She made that call to Xiao Chen only after she was absolutely certain that she wanted to act.

Before she was sure of her own thoughts, she didn't want to disturb Xiao Chen rashly.

Although... Liu Yifei wasn't sure if Xiao Chen still remembered this promise.

Xiao Chen smiled.

"it is good."

His answer was only one word, yet it carried immense weight.

Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone visibly breathed a sigh of relief, her voice tinged with excitement.

"You...you still remember our promise?"

Xiao Chen looked at the myriad lights outside the window, his voice gentle.

"Of course I remember."

"Welcome to my world, fairy sister."

"I've already prepared the script for you."

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Liu Yifei felt her heart race.

After chatting with Xiao Chen for a few more minutes, the two ended the call.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Chen's smile remained unchanged.

He opened his laptop and skillfully entered the password.

On the desktop, a document lay there quietly.

The document's name had already been chosen.

This is a script that Xiao Chen painstakingly rewrote over the past five years, gradually restoring and writing it in his spare time.

The Legend of Sword and Fairy.

He opened the document, and lines of text came into view.

Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er, Lin Yueru...

Vivid names, poignant stories.

Titanic was the key that unlocked the world for him.

"Chinese Paladin" will be his gift to Liu Yifei, and also to the fantasy world of Chinese audiences.

The beginning of a fantasy universe belonging to the East and the Dragon Kingdom.

Night was falling.

The glitz and glamour of Hollywood intertwine with the brilliance in the eyes of a young boy.

A legend is quietly unfolding.

……

The following day, Wang Jinhua came to Xiao Chen's room as usual to coordinate work.

Because it was confirmed that "Titanic" would be filmed, Xiao Chen would need to stay in the United States for a period of time.

Besides filming, there's also Xiao Chen's daily life, as well as some tutoring courses to help him prepare for the college entrance exam.

In short, Xiao Chen's time is very tight.

It's even more intense than preparing for the college entrance examination in the country.

Before Wang Jinhua could speak, Xiao Chen turned his laptop towards her.

The screen displays the initial draft of the script for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Xiao Chen smiled and took a sip of coffee.

"Aunt Hua, take a look first."

Wang Jinhua pushed up her glasses and glanced at the computer screen.

Just a few lines of text made her breath catch in her throat.

As an experienced agent, Wang Jinhua could smell that unique scent—the potential of a blockbuster product.

She looked up at Xiao Chen, her eyes filled with confusion.

"This is……"

Xiao Chen just smiled and didn't say anything, tapping the table lightly with his fingertip, signaling her to continue reading.

Wang Jinhua took a deep breath and quickened her pace of reading.

The words danced before her eyes, overflowing with Eastern charm, chivalry, and tenderness.

This gave even a seasoned veteran like her a chilling feeling.

This script is more than just a story; it's like a magnificent scroll painting, slowly unfolding.

After a long silence, Wang Jinhua closed her notebook, her voice trembling.

"When...when did you write this?"

Xiao Chen shrugged and answered casually.

"I saved it up little by little in my spare time."

Wang Jinhua sat there, fully aware of what a good script meant to an actor.

Moreover, this is a work full of classical Eastern aesthetics.

She had a feeling that this TV series would definitely bring a shock to the Chinese film and television industry!

This rascal always manages to bring her huge surprises unexpectedly.

Just like "Echoes of the Rainbow" from five years ago.

Upon its release, it received even more praise than "Infernal Affairs".

That year at the Golden Horse Awards, "Echoes of the Rainbow" swept almost all the awards, and Xiao Chen won the Best Director award again.

There's also the Best Screenplay award.

She even won the Best Supporting Actor award at the age of twelve.

He completely outshone a group of veteran actors who had been acting for decades.

No child star can ever replicate Xiao Chen's achievements.

Even a genius couldn't do that.

Wang Jinhua murmured to herself.

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy..."

She murmured the name softly, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Great! Excellent! I'll have someone prepare it right away!"

"We want the best in actors, directors, and special effects teams!"

Seeing her so excited, Xiao Chen's smile deepened.

He had anticipated this reaction.

……

A few days later, on the set of Paramount Pictures in Los Angeles.

Filming for "Titanic" is in full swing.

The huge ship cabin model was built to life, and staff members moved back and forth, each with a serious and focused expression.

However, amidst this hectic atmosphere, one corner stood out as out of place.

Seventeen-year-old Xiao Chen did not, like the other actors, surround director Cameron to discuss the script.

Instead, he sat on a makeshift folding chair with a thick math review book spread out on his lap.

He lowered his eyes, holding a pen in one hand and adjusting his glasses with the other.

He was completely absorbed in solving a complex geometry problem.

Occasionally, he would open the original English literary work next to him, read for a while, and then return to the test paper.

His fingers lightly touched the paper, the pen tip making a scratching sound.

Her focused profile features smooth lines, so perfect that not a single flaw can be found.

In the nearby rest area, Anne Hathaway, who plays the female lead Rose, is idly flipping through the script.

Her gaze inadvertently drifted to that corner, and she was instantly drawn to that figure.
