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

"It has given me a lot."

"Glory, applause, wealth."

"It also allowed me to see more of the world."

"As for the loss..."

Xiao Chen put down his water glass and looked up at Lu Yu.

"They lost the carefree childhood that ordinary children enjoy."

"I've lost some time that I could have spent playing freely with family and friends."

He paused for a moment, his eyes revealing a magnanimity beyond his years.

"But I think these are all equivalent exchanges."

"I've gained more, so naturally I have to give something in return."

"Life is about gains and losses. The important thing is whether you take responsibility for your choices."

These words gave Lu Yu a jolt.

This young man's understanding of life far surpasses that of his peers.

He saw things very clearly and was very rational.

Lu Yu changed his perspective.

"So, in your opinion, what constitutes a true actor?"

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and then answered seriously.

"A true actor is not someone who can convincingly portray any character."

"Instead, you become whoever you play. I once said this during a speech at the Beijing Film Academy, which is called the 'fraud theory'."

"It's about making the audience believe that you are that character, and letting the character come to life through you."

Hearing Xiao Chen's answer, Lu Yu became even more certain of his judgment.

This is a young man with his own performance philosophy.

Lu Yu pressed for an answer.

"Do you think you've achieved that yet?"

Xiao Chen smiled modestly.

"Still on the way."

"I still have a lot to learn."

"Every role is a new challenge, a new life."

Wang Jinhua secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Chen's answers were always just right, both sincere and philosophical.

This child is very thoughtful; she doesn't need to worry about him at all.

Lu Yu thought for a moment and then asked a different question.

"You just won the Oscar for Best Actor."

"Your portrayal of Jack in Titanic won the hearts of audiences worldwide."

"Do you think there's anything in common between the character Jack and yourself?"

Xiao Chen repeated the question softly.

"Common ground..."

His gaze turned to the distance again, his eyes becoming gentle and affectionate.

"Jack's yearning for freedom and love of art are qualities that I also possess."

After speaking, he paused, then deliberately winked at the camera.

"And he's willing to give everything for love, and I think I can do that too."

Good guy.

It's an open discharge.

I wonder how many young girls will scream for Xiao Chen after this interview ends.

Lu Yu looked at him and seemed to see Jack's image in his eyes.

Lu Yu closed the outline in his hand.

"One last question."

What are your hopes for the future of Chinese cinema?

Xiao Chen sat up straight, his voice becoming loud and powerful.

"I hope that Chinese films can reach the world."

"No longer just Chinese-language films, but world films."

"To let more people understand Chinese culture and our story through film."

"Just like I said when I won the Oscar, I will do everything in my power to bring Chinese films to the world stage!"

After the interview, Lu Yu stood up and sincerely extended his hand to Xiao Chen.

"Xiao Chen, I enjoyed chatting with you."

For the first time, a genuine smile appeared on her face.

"You are special."

"I believe you will become a great actor."

Xiao Chen took her hand and bowed slightly.

"Thank you for your kind words, Sister Lu Yu."

He felt the warmth from Lu Yu's palm and knew that her assessment of him was sincere.

After Lu Yu left, Cheng Long immediately stepped forward and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder forcefully.

"Good lad! Well said!"

"She answered all those questions flawlessly! That girl, Lu Yu, is usually so difficult to deal with!"

Xiao Chen smiled but didn't say anything.

As he spoke, Cheng Long's expression suddenly darkened.

"From what you just said, kung fu movies, Chinese films going global..."

"It's a pity that young people nowadays prefer to watch those flashy and fancy things."

"We old folks are falling behind the times."

"In the future, perhaps young people won't remember me."

His tone carried a sense of helplessness, like that of a hero past his prime.

Xiao Chen looked at Cheng Long, a veteran who had worked in the Chinese film industry for many years and had devoted his life to kung fu films.

He could sense the disappointment in Cheng Long's words.

Xiao Chen spoke softly.

"Brother Chenglong."

"Have you ever thought about finding a different way to continue passing on kung fu films and Chinese culture?"

Cheng Long was taken aback and looked at Xiao Chen with confusion.

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Chen blinked and said in a whimsical tone.

"For example...making an animated film?"

Cheng Long was completely stunned.

cartoon?

What nonsense is this kid spouting?

The rest of the crew couldn't help but laugh when they heard Xiao Chen's words.

An Oscar-winning actor actually wants Cheng Long to direct an animated film?

The thought of this scene is hilarious.

Wang Jinhua glared at Xiao Chen, signaling him to stop fooling around.

Xiao Chen didn't take it to heart. He walked over to Cheng Long and pulled him to sit down.

"Brother Chenglong, imagine this."

"An animated film about you."

"You play an archaeologist on a treasure hunt, who uses his wits and courage to protect the twelve zodiac talismans from evil forces."

"In animated films, you can use all sorts of kung fu and all sorts of strange and wonderful props."

"Every adventure takes you to a new country and introduces you to a new culture."

"It is aimed at children all over the world."

Xiao Chen's eyes grew brighter as he spoke.

As Cheng Long listened, the expression on his face changed from doubt to surprise, and finally to delight.

He never imagined that his kung fu and image could continue to influence the next generation in this way.

Cheng Long muttered to himself, some images beginning to surface in his mind.

"The Twelve Zodiac Animal Charms?"

"archaeologist?"

Xiao Chen affirmed.

"right!"

"The animated film is called 'The Adventures of Chenglong'!"

"It is not just an animated film, but also a vehicle for spreading Chinese culture and the spirit of kung fu."

"Those children grew up reading 'The Adventures of Chenglong'."

"In their hearts, the seeds of kung fu will naturally be planted, along with their curiosity about Chinese culture."

Cheng Long slapped his thigh and excitedly hugged Xiao Chen.

"Ah Chen! You're a genius!"

His voice was filled with incredible surprise.

"Yeah, animated films! How come I didn't think of that!"

He patted Xiao Chen's back, patting harder and harder.

"The Adventures of Chenglong!"

"Great! That's wonderful!"

He looked at Xiao Chen, this young junior, who had not only achieved great success himself.

They also always manage to find new directions for the older generation of filmmakers.

Cheng Long sighed.

"You are truly my benefactor!"
