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

If the performance is not handled well, the awkwardness of a young person forcing a melancholy tone will instantly destroy the foundation of the entire drama.

Xiao Chen's status in China is already legendary, so there's no need for him to take such a risk.

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Aunt Hua."

His smile brightened the entire office.

"Age can be altered with makeup and styling."

"But a person's eyes, the fire in their heart, cannot be given by makeup."

He stretched out his finger and gently tapped his temple.

"I believe I can portray him."

Wang Jinhua looked at him.

Looking into his eyes, which were as deep as the starry sea.

Those eyes held no confusion that an eighteen-year-old should have, only a calm, resolute ocean.

She suddenly remembered that when she was filming "Farewell My Concubine," she was so indistinguishable from the real person when she was in makeup.

A child who amazed both Chen Kaige and Leslie Cheung.

She then recalled the set of Titanic.

Jack, the young man who impressed James Cameron with just one look.

Yes, how could she forget?

Age is never a limitation for a true genius.

Her worries and doubts were easily shattered by his single glance and word.

This young man was born for the camera.

Wang Jinhua took a deep breath and then nodded heavily.

"Okay! I believe you!"

She stopped worrying and quickly switched to work mode.

"I'll contact the best production team right now."

"I recommend director Jiang Wen. His style is tough enough to bring out the quality of this drama."

"And, regarding the actors..."

Xiao Chen interrupted her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Aunt Hua."

"Don't rush."

"Didn't you just say you also needed to talk to me?"

Wang Jinhua slapped her forehead, only then remembering her earlier excitement.

Compared to the shock brought by the script of "Lurking", that matter seemed to become less important.

But when she spoke again, the excitement and agitation in her voice were undiminished, even greater than before.

"Yes! This is fantastic news!"

She leaned forward and lowered her voice, as if announcing top-secret information.

"It's from New Line Cinema in Hollywood, directed by Peter Jackson, who personally extended an invitation!"

Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Peter Jackson?"

Of course he knew that name.

A master of fantasy films with a unique style.

What projects does he have?

Wang Jinhua's cheeks flushed with excitement. She took a faxed document from her bag and handed it to Xiao Chen.

"A grand fantasy epic! It's called 'The Lord of the Rings'!"

"They want to invite you to play one of the main roles—"

"Legolas, the Elf Prince!"

The Lord of the Rings.

Upon hearing these three words, Xiao Chen's eyes finally showed a slight change.

In its previous life, this movie was an epic masterpiece that swept the global box office and won countless Oscars.

The character Legolas, in particular, is renowned for his stunning good looks and unparalleled martial arts skills.

She became the white moonlight in the hearts of countless movie fans.

This is the first time that a top Hollywood production has skipped the audition process and specifically invited him by name.

This represents more than just a film contract.

This is also the highest recognition from Hollywood of his commercial value and global influence as an Oscar-winning actor.

Xiao Chen took the document and casually said something.

"They have a good eye."

Wang Jinhua almost choked on her own saliva.

If someone else had said that, it would have been considered incredibly arrogant and conceited.

But coming from Xiao Chen's mouth, it somehow felt...

Of course.

Yes, looking at the whole world.

Who could be more suitable than him to play that ethereal, gender-transcendent elf prince?

That face was made for the big screen.

Wang Jinhua asked cautiously.

"So... are you going to answer?"

The filming of The Lord of the Rings had an extremely long production period and required filming in New Zealand.

If he accepts the role, it means he will be tied to this production crew for the next one to two years.

This is a decision that Xiao Chen, whose career is at its peak, needs to consider carefully.

Xiao Chen's fingers tapped lightly on the document, his gaze lingering on Legolas's name for a few seconds.

An image of a blond, blue-eyed, agile elf skilled with a bow and arrow flashed through his mind.

It seems...very interesting.

"catch."

He did not hesitate.

"Then I'll have my team handle the contract with them."

"In addition, the production team of 'Lurking' is also preparing for the project."

Wang Jinhua felt that her heart was about to give out.

One of them is a spy thriller masterpiece destined to be recorded in the history of Chinese-language television dramas.

One is an epic masterpiece that is about to usher in a new era for global fantasy films.

Either of these two projects would be enough to make any entertainment company go all out.

Now, all of these burdens have fallen on Shiba Culture, and on Xiao Chen's shoulders alone.

He actually wants to do it simultaneously?

Wang Jinhua was somewhat worried.

"Xiao Chen, is this... going to work?"

"In terms of time and energy..."

Xiao Chen closed the file and stood up.

"no problem."

"Aunt Hua, all you need to do is set up the stage."

He walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling city below, his voice calm yet carrying a sense of control over everything.

"As for how to act, that's my business."

Wang Jinhua looked at his back; he was tall and upright, as if nothing could crush him.

All worries vanished at that moment.

She sat down again, picked up the phone, and was filled with boundless fighting spirit.

"Hello, is this Director Jiang Wen? This is Wang Jinhua. I have a script I'd like you to take a look at..."

"Hello, Attorney Li? The contract with New Line Cinema in Hollywood—take your team and follow up immediately..."

All afternoon, Wang Jinhua's office became the busiest command center for Shiba Culture.

After dealing with these two major issues, Xiao Chen turned his attention to another project.

He picked up another document on the table, which had several cheerful artistic words printed on it—"Happy Comedians".

This was a variety show proposal he had previously submitted to the company's planning department.

The plan has now been refined, and the preliminary selection process is in full swing.

The documents show comedy troupes, crosstalk performers, and sketch comedy actors from all over the country.

Whether they are established stars or unknown newcomers, they have all shown great enthusiasm for this brand-new comedy competition platform.

Happy Twist, Deyun Society... familiar names appeared on the registration list.

A golden age for Chinese-language comedy is about to begin under his guidance.

TV series, movies, variety shows...

Three battlefronts, all blossoming simultaneously.

A faint smile appeared on Xiao Chen's lips.

The world is becoming more and more interesting because of his arrival.
