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

The reporter continued to ask questions, and a female reporter raised her hand, her voice excited.

"Xiao Chen! Do you think acting is fun?"

"Do you still want to act in the future?"

Xiao Chen's face fell, and she pouted.

"It's not fun."

The entire room fell silent.

The reporters looked at each other in bewilderment.

isn't it?

So you're just going to give up like that?

Before the reporters could react, Xiao Chen added in a childish voice.

"Because Uncle Jie always makes me cry, and I cry so much that my nose is blocked and I drool."

Xiao Chen pouted, looking utterly aggrieved.

"Moreover, Uncle Wang always forbids me from eating snacks, saying that it will make me look bad on camera."

At this point, the entire audience could no longer contain themselves.

"Hahaha! This kid is so real!"

"What genius child actor? He's clearly just a little glutton!"

Jet Li and Wang Jing were also at a loss for words, neither laughing nor crying.

Wang Jing patted Xiao Chen's head.

"You little brat, you've completely humiliated me."

Xiao Chen blinked.

"But Uncle Wang, you're already chubby, you can always regain your dignity."

Xiao Chen's words drew another burst of laughter from the reporters.

They were completely won over by this clever and quirky little guy.

A reporter seized the opportunity to raise his hand.

"Little brother Xiao Chen, who do you think is more powerful, your portrayal of Hong Wending or Uncle Jie's portrayal of Hong Xiguan?"

This is a classic, potentially disastrous question.

Many media outlets ask actors this question in order to generate buzz.

A good answer shows high emotional intelligence, but a bad answer can lead to a lot of criticism.

Xiao Chen tilted his head and thought seriously for a while.

He first looked at Li Lianjie, then at Wang Jing.

Finally, she pointed with her little hand to an empty seat in the very front row of the audience.

"There! The uncle sitting there is the best!"

The reporters were taken aback.

where?

Empty seats?

Xiao Chen spoke with an air of seriousness.

"He didn't even come, yet everyone was crying their eyes out. Of course, he's the most amazing!"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in unprecedented roaring laughter.

"This logic! I can't refute it!"

"Hahaha! This kid is amazing! I really don't know if he's genuinely clueless or doing it on purpose."

"I'm impressed! Seriously impressed! She has pretty high emotional intelligence!"

Xiao Chen's answer was unexpected.

Not only did it perfectly avoid the pitfalls of comparison, but it also highlighted the film's greatest charm from a child's unique perspective.

The film itself is what's truly amazing.

He's a genius!

After the premiere, Ye Huimei rushed backstage and immediately hugged Xiao Chen when she saw him.

"Oh my little darling, are you starving?"

She gently patted Xiao Chen's head with a tender expression.

Xiao Chen hugged his mother's neck, resting his little head on her shoulder.

"Mmm, I'm hungry."

As she spoke, she winked at Li Lianjie, as if to say: See, my mom knows I'm hungry too.

Jet Li shook his head with a wry smile.

"Take him home and rest. Chenchen has had a hard day."

Ye Huimei thanked the main creators repeatedly, then hugged Xiao Chen and left the noisy scene.

Night had already fallen when I left the cinema.

After all, it's only the body of a three-year-old.

After the premiere, Xiao Chen was exhausted and fell asleep on Ye Huimei's shoulder.

Ye Huimei did not wake Xiao Chen.

Once back at the hotel, she carefully carried Xiao Chen back to the room, took off his shoes, and covered him with a light blanket.

Looking at Xiao Chen's peaceful sleeping face, Ye Huimei sat on the edge of the bed and it took her a long time to come to her senses.

Her son has really made something of himself.

It's amazing that I got to be interviewed by so many reporters.

Even six months ago, Ye Huimei wouldn't have dared to even think about it.

Even after attending a press conference, Ye Huimei was still unaware of the uproar Xiao Chen had stirred up!

……

The next morning.

Ye Huimei was still half asleep when she heard a knock on the door.

Who is it?

Ye Huimei got out of bed and walked to the door. Looking through the peephole, she saw Ming, the casting director of "The New Legend of Shaolin".

She opened the door.

Ming had messy hair and dark circles under his eyes, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept all night.

But his face was filled with undisguised excitement, and he was holding several newspapers that almost covered his face.

"Miss Ye! Quick! Take a look!"

He shoved the newspapers into Ye Huimei's arms, his voice brimming with excitement.

Ye Huimei paused for a moment, then took the newspaper.

She looked down.

The newspapers were all about Hong Kong news, and the front page headlines were all about Xiao Chen!

A three-year-old movie star has suddenly appeared, a successor to the kung fu emperor?!

Hong Wending amazes Hong Kong, setting a new standard for child star acting!

Unanimous Praise from Hong Kong Media: Xiao Chen Conquers the Harsh Media with His Talent!

Ye Huimei stared wide-eyed at the headlines, reading each word carefully.

She didn't know much about the entertainment industry, but she knew how powerful the Hong Kong media was.

Those journalists have sharp wit and always strive to make sensational statements.

When they start cursing, they show absolutely no mercy.

When Zhang Ziyi was being interviewed, she showed off her English by saying, "Zhang Ziyi is possessed by the God of Literature."

The photo of Shu Qi and Yao Chen grinning was taken and then called "Double Demon Man-Eating Flower".

Surprisingly, this time everyone was praising Xiao Chen!

Ming walked around the room excitedly.

"Let me tell you, Miss Ye, I spent all night reading the news reports!"

"Those Hong Kong media outlets used to be notoriously sharp-tongued!"

"No matter how big your star power is, if they think it's juicy, the headline will be absolutely sensational!"

He stopped and grabbed Ye Huimei's arm.

"And the result? Look at these headlines! They're all praising Chenchen!"

"One night! Just one night! Chenchen became an absolute sensation! He became the talk of the town!"

"Absolutely unprecedented!"

Ye Huimei was somewhat bewildered.

It's trending?

So fast?

It was just a movie premiere.

Ye Huimei hesitated and looked at Ming Ge.

"Ming-ge, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

Ming's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

"exaggerate?!"

"Miss Ye! You have no idea what this means!"

"Chenchen is in high demand now. Countless talent agencies want to sign him as a child star."

"Let me tell you, this morning when I turned on my phone, several calls were from people asking about Chenchen!"

Ming-ge became more and more excited as he spoke.

"This kid has a bright future! He was born for this!"

Ye Huimei was processing this sudden influx of information.

I felt a sudden wave of dizziness.

"Then... what should we do?"

Ming grinned.

"Don't panic, Ms. Ye, calm down first."

"In the next couple of days, we'll be doing a few roadshows in Hong Kong to show our faces and generate buzz for the film."

"Once all this is done, you can take Chenchen back to Kyoto."

"You can decide Chenchen's future then, but for now, Chenchen is already a well-deserved superstar!"

Ye Huimei looked at him, feeling somewhat dazed.

She looked down at the newspaper in her arms.

Xiao Chen.

Her son.

She's already a big star?!
