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

Wang Jinhua's voice suddenly rose, and her ecstatic joy, tinged with sobs, erupted completely.

"It's not a nomination anymore!"

"They swept the nominations!!"

"Best Picture! Best Director! Best Original Screenplay! Best Actor..."

"Xiao Chen! You've been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor!"

"You are the first Chinese actor to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor!"

"You've made history!!"

boom--!

In that instant, it felt as if countless fireworks were exploding in Xiao Chen's mind.

He stood up from the sofa, trembling uncontrollably for the first time.

Oscar nomination for Best Actor...

In his past life, he was an extra who spent his whole life rolling in the mud, and he wasn't even qualified to walk the red carpet at the Golden Rooster Awards in China.

He wouldn't even dare to dream about those words.

Now, in this life, he is only 17 years old.

He did it.

An overwhelming mix of ecstasy and bittersweetness, along with memories of both lifetimes, swept over me like a tidal wave.

His vision was a little blurry.

It's as if I'm seeing Hong Wending, the stubborn-looking boy from "The New Legend of Shaolin," when he was three years old.

I saw Kevin, the clever and quirky character from "Home Alone".

I saw Xiaodouzi in the background of "Farewell My Concubine," singing "I was born a beautiful woman" in her tender voice.

I saw the magical boy with round-framed glasses from Harry Potter.

Scene after scene, frame after frame, like a movie replay.

Finally, the image freezes on the deck of Titanic, where he opens his arms and shouts at the setting sun.

"I'm the king of the world!"

Wang Jinhua on the other end of the phone was already crying tears of joy.

She rambled on about how excited her colleagues were and how proud Ms. Ye Huimei was.

Xiao Chen couldn't hear anything clearly.

He walked to the window, opened it, and looked out at the clear blue sky.

A radiant smile slowly bloomed on his face.

That wasn't his usual polite and gentle smile.

At this moment, he is his own soul.

He didn't impersonate anyone.

Xiao Chen's voice was a little hoarse as he spoke into the phone.

"Aunt Hua, we...I...successfully."

The exhilaration from this tremendous success lasted until late into the night.

Xiao Chen lay in bed, wide awake.

An Oscar nomination is an honor, a milestone, but not the end.

His blood was boiling, and his desire to create was stronger than ever before.

Hollywood has knocked on the door, but his roots have always been here.

He wanted to do something for Chinese-language films.

A name, a movie, flashed through his mind like lightning.

Chenglong.

New Police Story.

He clearly remembers the shock that this movie brought to the audience in his previous life.

It subverted Cheng Long's previous image as an immortal action star, creating a hero who can cry and is vulnerable.

That's it!

Once this thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.

Xiao Chen jumped out of bed and turned on his laptop.

He doesn't need to come up with ideas.

Every line and every shot of the entire movie is clearly etched in his mind.

Fingers flew across the keyboard.

The sound of hammering continued.

Chen Guorong's despair as he fell from the rooftop.

Ah Zu's face, cynical because of his distorted childhood.

Zheng Xiaofeng gave his life for the words, "I want to be a good person."

……

sleepless nights.

As the morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, Xiao Chen typed the final period.

The script is complete and ready to be filmed.

Without a moment's hesitation, he packaged the script files and sent them directly to Wang Jinhua's email address.

Then, I dialed her number.

The call was answered instantly.

Wang Jinhua was clearly so excited that she didn't sleep all night.

"Xiao Chen? Why are you up so early?"

"Are you too excited to sleep?"

Xiao Chen's voice had returned to calm.

"Aunt Hua, please calm down."

Go check the email I just sent you.

Wang Jinhua paused for a moment, then opened her email on her computer.

"mail?"

A script for a movie called "New Police Story" lay quietly in my inbox.

"This is……"

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

"New project."

"I'd like to invite Brother Cheng Long to play the male lead."

Wang Jinhua was dumbfounded.

He just received an Oscar nomination last night, and this morning, a new movie script has already been written?

Is this even human?

This is absolutely incredible!

She suppressed her surprise and began reading the script as quickly as possible.

After reading only the first three pages, a cold sweat broke out on her back.

This notebook is too harsh.

The story opens with a disastrous failed siege.

The entire squad, except for the protagonist Chen Guorong, was wiped out.

The despair that seeps into your bones almost bursts through the screen and assaults your senses.

Wang Jinhua read the entire script in one go, and her eyes were already red when she got to the end.

She knew all too well what this script meant to Cheng Long.

This is not just a transformation, but a sublimation!

This is an opportunity for him to truly transform from a successful action star into a great actor!

Wang Jinhua's voice regained its usual calmness.

"I see."

"Leave this to me."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Jinhua didn't waste any time and immediately used her connections to find Brother Chenglong's private phone number.

After the call connected, a familiar and loud voice came from the other end.

"Hello, who is this?"

Wang Jinhua could even hear her own heart pounding.

"Hello, Brother Chenglong, I am Wang Jinhua."

Cheng Long had obviously heard of this name.

"Wang Jinhua?"

"Wang Jinhua from Shishiba Culture?"

Wang Jinhua replied politely.

"Yes."

Cheng Long's tone was polite, but you could also sense his distance.

"Is there something you need? I'm on set right now, so I'm quite busy."

Wang Jinhua didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"That's how it is, brother."

"Our company boss, Xiao Chen, wrote a script for you overnight, and he hopes... to invite you to play the male lead."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Cheng Long certainly knew Xiao Chen.

This name is a legend in today's entertainment industry.

He debuted at the age of three and worked with Jet Li.

She broke into Hollywood in her teens and starred in the global box office champion, Titanic.

The song I wrote won a Grammy.

He won a Golden Rooster Award for playing a minor supporting role.

Now, he has become the first Chinese person to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor.

Over the years, he had heard far too many legends about Xiao Chen.

He even envied the young man's talent and luck.

But he never imagined that he would have any interaction with this young man.

Now, Xiao Chen has actually written a script specifically for himself?

Cheng Long's voice was filled with disbelief.

"He...wrote it for me?"

Wang Jinhua gave an affirmative answer.

"Yes."

"This role is perfect for you."

Cheng Long laughed, a hearty laugh.

"good!"

"I'll take this role!"

For Cheng Long, the name Xiao Chen itself is the best script.

It was an honor he could never have imagined to be able to collaborate with such a talented younger generation!
