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

Xiao Chen closed his eyes, feeling the evening breeze of Los Angeles.

He's going back to China tomorrow.

There, he has more opportunities.

……

Beijing.

The entertainment industry in China was enveloped in a frenzied atmosphere.

Oscar-winning actor.

This weighty honor was brought back to the country by a boy who was only eighteen years old.

Xiao Chen, this name, is like a dazzling shooting star, streaking across the sky and illuminating the entire entertainment industry.

Before his plane even landed, Beijing Capital International Airport was already surrounded by reporters.

As he walked out of the airport, the flashbulbs turned the sky bright as day.

"Xiao Chen! What are your thoughts on receiving the Oscar?"

"Xiao Chen! What are your upcoming filming plans?"

"Xiao Chen! I heard you're worth over a hundred million, is that true?!"

One question after another was raised.

Even if Xiao Chen only answers one of the questions, the reporters' trip will not have been in vain.

Faced with the reporters' pursuit, Wang Jinhua skillfully shielded Xiao Chen behind her.

"Make way! Make way!"

"Xiao Chen just got off the plane and needs to rest!"

Although the reporters were unwilling, they were still somewhat wary of Wang Jinhua, a notoriously tough agent in the industry.

A small opening was barely torn in the crowd.

Xiao Chen smiled and nodded slightly to the reporters.

Thank you for your concern.

The reporters were taken aback, and surprisingly made way for Xiao Chen to leave.

No one wanted to make things difficult for this young man who had just brought honor to the Dragon Kingdom.

Then, Xiao Chen quickly left the airport under the escort of Wang Jinhua and bodyguards.

The car smoothly drove off the airport expressway.

Xiao Chen leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

Wang Jinhua turned to look at him, her eyes filled with heartache.

This child entered the entertainment industry at the age of three.

She said she was Xiao Chen's agent, and after so many years of friendship, Wang Jinhua had long regarded Xiao Chen as her own son.

Are you hungry?

"I asked Xiao Zhang to prepare your favorite noodles."

Xiao Chen opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

"Um."

He knew that Wang Jinhua had blocked all interviews in advance for his return to China.

Otherwise, given his current level of public attention, there would probably be even more reporters waiting at the airport.

Wang Jinhua rubbed her temples.

"Besides those entertainment reporters, CCTV would also like to do an exclusive interview with you."

"The CCTV interview is an official interview, and it's hard to refuse, so I had no choice but to agree."

"However, because you were in a hurry to get back to the film set, the interview was scheduled to take place on the set of 'New Police Story'."

The host is Lu Yu.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow slightly.

He could understand accepting the CCTV interview.

After all, it's an official body.

But the interviewer was Lu Yu?

That host known for his sharp wit?

He smiled, secretly looking forward to it.

"Okay."

The car sped along, and Xiao Chen went home first to celebrate his award with Ye Huimei.

The next morning, Xiao Chen returned to the film set in Hong Kong without stopping.

The crew members knew Xiao Chen was coming back, so they made preparations well in advance to welcome him back.

Everyone here is a filmmaker.

Every filmmaker understands the true value of an Oscar for Best Actor.

Brother Cheng Long was already waiting at the door.

He saw Xiao Chen get out of the car from afar, and his face immediately lit up with a smile.

"Ah Chen! You're finally back!"

He strode forward and patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder heavily.

The force was so strong that it almost made Xiao Chen stumble.

Xiao Chen hugged Cheng Long and buried his head in his chest like a child.

"Brother Chenglong, I'm back."

His voice was a little hoarse, but his eyes sparkled.

Upon seeing this, the crew members all applauded.

"Xiao Chen is amazing!"

"The pride of Chinese cinema!"

"You can make us proud!"

"I've worked on the same film crew as Xiao Chen; that's something I can brag about for the rest of my life!"

Amidst thunderous applause, Xiao Chen once again felt the warmth of being accepted by his homeland.

I had only been resting for a short while when the CCTV film crew arrived.

The staff set up the machine.

Lu Yu, dressed in a smart suit, sat in the director's chair, flipping through the interview outline in his hand.

She looked up and saw Xiao Chen walking over, a professional smile appearing on her face.

"Xiao Chen, congratulations on your triumphant return."

Xiao Chen walked up to her and extended his hand.

"Hello, Sister Lu Yu."

Lu Yu has traveled all over the country interviewing many people and has seen all kinds of people.

Therefore, you can often tell what kind of person someone is just by meeting them for the first time.

Xiao Chen gave her a very warm feeling.

He doesn't seem like a star who became famous at a young age.

This surprised Lu Yu quite a bit.

Lu Yu asked.

"Shall we begin?"

Xiao Chen sat down in the chair opposite her and nodded.

"Anytime is fine."

The camera's red light came on.

The interview has officially begun.

Lu Yu got straight to the point, his first question carrying a sharp edge.

"Xiao Chen won the Oscar for Best Actor at the age of eighteen, which is unprecedented in film history."

Do you think your success is due to luck or ability?

Wang Jinhua stood not far away, her heart tightening.

Lu Yu is indeed Lu Yu.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen simply smiled faintly.

"Perhaps it's a combination of both."

His answer was nonchalant.

"Luck brought me a good script, a good director, and a good team."

"My strength allowed me to seize these opportunities."

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

This child reacts very quickly.

Very smart.

She didn't stop asking questions, and continued to throw out the next one.

"You started acting at the age of three, so you can be considered a veteran actor."

"Have you ever felt that acting was too hard and wanted to give up, from childhood to adulthood?"

This question strikes right at the heart.

At that age, most children would be playing in the mud.

Xiao Chen looked into the distance, as if he was recalling something.

"Of course it's tough."

He readily admitted it.

"When filming 'The New Legend of Shaolin,' I was often covered in bruises from wire work and somersaults."

"You say it doesn't hurt? Of course it hurts."

"And there was the filming of 'Home Alone,' where it was below zero degrees Celsius, and we were crawling and rolling around in the snow."

"Filming 'Farewell My Concubine'..."

He paused, his eyes becoming deep.

"To understand the character Xiaodouzi's extreme struggle, I locked myself in my room for several days."

"But give up?"

Xiao Chen shook his head, his eyes filled with determination.

Never.

"Because I know this is what I love. I enjoy the feeling of moving through different lives."

Lu Yu nodded, feeling a surge of admiration.

After waiting a while, he continued to ask questions, pressing the issue relentlessly.

"What has acting brought you as you grew up?"

"And what have you lost this time?"

Wang Jinhua's fists clenched involuntarily.

This question is rather heavy for an eighteen-year-old boy.

Xiao Chen did not answer immediately.

He picked up the water glass on the table and took a small sip.
