I became a movie star at the age of three; Dilraba and I are childhood sweethearts.
Chapter 15: Exceptional Emotional Intelligence Conquers the Entire Audience!
Xiao Chen noticed Ye Huimei's shock.
He shifted his body forward, stretched out his chubby little hand, and grasped Ye Huimei's fingers.
"Mother."
"I want to continue acting."
He tilted his little face up, his eyes filled with pure longing.
"I want to be an actor like Uncle Jay, doing lots and amazing things in movies."
Hearing this, Ye Huimei's tense nerves relaxed a little.
That sounds like something a child would say.
After all, which little boy wouldn't admire the highly skilled kung fu master Hung Hei-kwun after watching "The New Legend of Shaolin"?
Ye Huimei sighed.
"Chenchen, you..."
"You're still young, filming is very hard work."
Xiao Chen answered very quickly.
"I'm not afraid of hard work."
"But I need an agent."
Xiao Chen's expression was very serious.
Having spent so many years struggling at the bottom in his previous life, he knew all too well how deep the waters of the entertainment industry ran.
What black-and-white scripts, dual contracts, resource swaps...?
The tricks inside are so sophisticated that they can leave an ordinary person like Ye Huimei with nothing but bones.
Therefore, he must have a professional agent.
A professional manager who can handle all his contract disputes and help him screen scripts.
The most crucial point is that he can sign with an agent but not with any company.
In this way, he essentially had a personal studio from his previous life.
Maximum freedom, you can make all the decisions yourself.
Xiao Chen certainly couldn't say these things aloud; he still needed to maintain the persona of a three-year-old child.
Xiao Chen tugged at Ye Huimei's sleeve and shook it gently, his tone carrying a hint of coquetry.
"Mom, Uncle Wang Jing and the others are so amazing. I'm scared to talk to them alone."
"If I had an agent, uncle or aunt, I wouldn't be afraid."
As expected, Ye Huimei softened her heart.
She knelt down and hugged her son.
"Silly child, Mommy is here. Mommy will protect you."
Xiao Chen sighed silently in his heart.
He knew, of course, that Ye Huimei would protect him.
But Ye Huimei doesn't understand anything.
Ye Huimei looked at her well-behaved son in her arms, her expression becoming increasingly troubled.
"Chenchen, it's not that Mommy doesn't want to agree."
"But...where...where are we going to find this agent?"
Is this the same as a lawyer or accountant, something you need to specifically look for?
Where can we find it?
Job market?
Seeing his mother's blank expression, Xiao Chen knew it was about time.
He broke free from Ye Huimei's embrace and looked at her with unwavering certainty.
"Mom, don't worry."
"We don't need to look for it."
"Soon, many people will come to us on their own."
Ye Huimei's breath hitched.
She stared blankly at her son.
Half a day later, Ye Huimei gently rubbed Xiao Chen's soft hair.
"Okay, Mom understands."
"Mom...I'll listen to you."
No matter what, Xiao Chen is still her precious son.
As long as Chenchen is happy, I, as his mother, will do everything I can to support him.
……
In the afternoon, at the roadshow for "The New Legend of Shaolin".
The place was bustling with noise, and flashes of light from cameras were going off incessantly.
After last night's premiere, the film's reputation and popularity have exploded!
Especially the character Hong Wending.
Overnight, it became the focus of heated discussion throughout Hong Kong!
Wang Jing, Li Lianjie, Qiu Shuzhen, and other key members of the production team sat on the stage; they should have been the absolute center of attention.
However, the atmosphere at the scene was somewhat eerie.
The first question, a fairly standard one, was posed to director Wang Jing.
The second question, naturally, was given to the male lead, Jet Li.
But starting with the third question, the style of the story begins to change abruptly.
A female reporter grabbed the microphone and bypassed the several superstars on stage.
He pointed the microphone far away at Xiao Chen, who was sitting between Li Lianjie and Qiu Shuzhen, his small body almost swallowed by the chair.
"Xiao Chen, everyone really likes your portrayal of Hong Wending. Do you like this character yourself?"
Swish-!
For an instant.
Hundreds of cameras simultaneously turned their orientations.
All the cameras and microphones were aimed at that small figure.
Wang Jing touched his chin, his face revealing undisguised smugness.
Look!
This is Lao Tzu's vision!
Jet Li smiled gently.
He reached out and helped Xiao Chen straighten the microphone in front of him, which was a bit too big for him.
Chiu Shu-chen looked at him with eyes full of affection, as if he were her own younger brother.
Under the spotlight, Xiao Chen showed no fear whatsoever.
He blinked and answered in a childish voice.
"I love it! Hung Wending is so cool!"
"He wants to protect his dad and prevent bad people from bullying him!"
The child's innocent words perfectly capture the core essence of the characters in the film.
Another reporter asked loudly.
"Do you find filming tough?"
"Did you ever cry on set?"
Xiao Chen puffed out his small chest.
"It's not hard work!"
"Uncle Wang Jing will buy me candy!"
"Also, being suspended by wires isn't scary at all, it's like flying, it's super fun!"
Xiao Chen subtly flattered Wang Jing, portraying him as someone who treats children well.
Wang Jing, standing next to him, was grinning from ear to ear.
That kid.
Her emotional intelligence is ridiculously high!
The atmosphere at the scene was completely ignited.
The reporters went crazy.
They found that interviewing this three-year-old was far more interesting than interviewing seasoned celebrities!
Every one of his answers was explosive.
Here comes another question.
"Xiao Chen! You're playing father and son with Uncle Li Lianjie, what do you think of him?"
Xiao Chen didn't think at all.
"Uncle Jay is amazing! He's especially cool when he fights!"
The reporter kept asking questions.
"So, do you prefer actress Chingmy Yau or actress Yip Tak-yin, who played your mother?"
This is a tricky question.
Everyone watched Xiao Chen with great interest, wanting to see how he would answer.
Xiao Chen tilted his head and revealed a very bright smile.
"I like them both!"
"Shuzhen is as beautiful as a fairy, and Dexian's mother is especially kind to me."
He paused, then added.
"But my favorite person is still my own mother!"
As he spoke, he waved vigorously to Ye Huimei in the audience.
The scene completely erupted!
"My goodness! This child is so eloquent!"
"So cute and clever! Her emotional intelligence is amazing!"
"I can't take it anymore, I'm completely smitten! From today onwards, I'm a die-hard fan!"
Reporters were snapping photos more frequently than ever before.
They've already planned tomorrow's headlines.
Child prodigy Xiao Chen's surprising remarks and high EQ responses captivated the audience!
A three-year-old toddler becomes the focus of the press conference, while Li Lianjie and Qiu Shuzhen are relegated to supporting roles!
The rest of the time became Xiao Chen's personal showcase.
All the problems revolve around him.
Wang Jing and the others were happy to have some free time, so they simply became background figures, watching with smiles as this little guy single-handedly held the entire scene together.
Looking at her son surrounded by flashing lights, Ye Huimei's confusion was replaced by anticipation.
Perhaps... it was really the right thing to do for him to take this path!
What she needs to do is become Xiao Chen's strongest support!
