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

"Tell them! We'll start operating tomorrow! No! Today! Right now!"

"Have Xiao Chen fly over here immediately! No! Have our entire crew fly over!"

"Anyway! I can't wait a second longer! I've found my prince!"

Everyone in the studio was terrified by their crazy director.

Only the producer came over and glanced at the computer screen.

Then, he was stunned.

The face on the screen made him instantly understand why the director had lost his composure.

……

When 18 culture once again became the focus of Hollywood because of an email.

Xiao Chen had removed her stunning makeup and got into the van heading to the TV station.

Wang Jinhua was still savoring the shock she had just experienced, muttering to herself.

"Xiao Chen, do you know what? Director Peter's assistant just called and said that the director has gone crazy."

"He'd love to pick you up in his private jet right now."

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

"Let him wait."

"I have other things to do."

Wang Jinhua smiled bitterly.

Xiao Chen is probably the only person in the world who can make a director of Peter Jackson's caliber wait for him.

"You're just too carefree."

"But it's good, it lets them know we're not begging them."

The car drove smoothly and soon arrived at Studio One of Beijing Television.

The recording site of the first episode of "Happy Comedians".

The atmosphere backstage was somewhat awkward.

Because it was a few years earlier than Xiao Chen's previous life's "Happy Comedians," and it was personally handled by Shishiba Culture.

Comedy shows featuring Zhao Benshan.

Therefore, in this lifetime, all those who come to participate in the show are well-known figures in the comedy world.

Cai Ming, Pan Changjiang, Jiang Kun...

Which one of them isn't a veteran who has dominated the Spring Festival Gala stage for decades?

When they come together, they naturally create an aura that is difficult for outsiders to blend into.

At this moment, several veteran artists are sitting together chatting.

Pan Changjiang lowered his voice, his face full of gossip.

"Hey, did you hear? We have a mystery guest today."

Cai Ming straightened his performance costume without looking up.

"How mysterious can it be?"

"It's just some popular celebrities that the production team brought in to fill space."

There was a hint of disdain in her tone.

As a veteran in the comedy world, she has seen far too many celebrities.

They all look respectable, but once they get on stage, they can't even deliver a single punchline.

I'm just here to get some exposure and enhance my resume.

Jiang Kun adjusted his glasses and said seriously.

"No matter who it is, we just need to do our best in our performances."

"This program has a very novel format. It was planned by Xiao Chen himself, and we should support it."

Mentioning Xiao Chen softened the expressions of the veteran artists considerably.

As for that person who performed "Not Short of Money" on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

The young man who even won an Oscar for Best Actor—they genuinely admire and respect him.

Cai Ming nodded.

"That's right, I really like Xiao Chen."

"I just don't know who Brother Benshan invited. He's making it all very mysterious."

At this moment, the show's director walked over, all smiles.

"Teachers, how are the preparations going?"

"Mr. Zhao Benshan and the special guests have arrived and are in the lounge next door."

Pan Changjiang immediately pressed for answers.

"Director, can you give me a hint? Who is it?"

The director chuckled and kept everyone in suspense.

"This will absolutely be a surprise you never expected!"

The more this is the case, the more curious people become.

This was something that even these seasoned artists, who were used to seeing big events, couldn't have imagined.

How important must that person be?

Just as everyone was speculating, the door to the lounge was pushed open.

Zhao Benshan walked in cheerfully, wearing his familiar Zhongshan suit.

Behind him followed a tall young man dressed in a simple white T-shirt and jeans.

The moment that young man walked in.

The entire lounge seemed to have been muted.

Cai Ming's eyebrow pencil fell to the ground with a thud.

Pan Changjiang's mouth could fit an egg if he opened it wide.

Jiang Kun's reading glasses almost slipped off his nose.

Who did they see?

Xiao Chen?

How did he end up here?

What is he doing backstage at this comedy show?

Everyone's brains went through a brief shutdown.

Xiao Chen, however, seemed oblivious to their petrified expressions, and walked straight up to the seniors, giving them a sly smile.

"Teacher Cai Ming, Teacher Pan Changjiang, Teacher Jiang Kun, it's been a long time."

Cai Ming was the first to react. She stood up, but almost tripped because she was moving too fast.

"Little...Little Chen?"

Pan Changjiang also came to his senses, rushed forward, and grabbed Xiao Chen's hand.

"Oh! It's Xiao Chen!"

"You silly child, what brings you here? You didn't even tell me beforehand!"

His enthusiasm almost crushed Xiao Chen's hand.

Xiao Chen wore a gentle smile.

"Teacher Zhao invited me to be a guest performer to add some fun for the teachers."

"Guest performer?"

"To liven things up?"

These words were like bolts of lightning, striking the three veteran artists right on the head.

You, an Oscar-winning actor, are here to be our supporting actor?

If this gets out, the entire entertainment industry will explode!

This is hardly meant to create excitement.

This is clearly a case of overwhelming force!

Seeing the horrified expressions on his old friends' faces, Zhao Benshan was secretly overjoyed.

He patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder and said to everyone with a smug look on his face.

"I told you, this kid is loyal."

"I just mentioned it casually during the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals."

"For us comedians, apart from the Spring Festival Gala, there's no proper stage for competition."

"Guess what?"

"They went back and created a project proposal, even investing their own money to get the show up!"

"Later, I invited him over, and he agreed without hesitation."

Zhao Benshan's words dropped another bombshell in the lounge.

It turns out that "Happy Comedians" was actually created by Xiao Chen because of a single sentence from Zhao Benshan!

This level of loyalty and execution is beyond description.

Looking at Xiao Chen's incomparably handsome face, Cai Ming felt a mix of emotions.

She had just been thinking to herself that the person coming would be a talentless, popular celebrity.

The results of it?

They actually brought in the ceiling!

She felt a burning sensation on her cheeks.

"Xiao Chen, you...you really are..."

Cai Ming thought for a long time before finally managing to utter a sentence.

"They're really giving us old folks too much face!"

Xiao Chen smiled, a smile more dazzling than all the lights in the studio combined.

"You flatter me."

"I grew up watching the sketches performed by various teachers."

"It is my honor to share the stage with all of you teachers."

The undercurrent of competition among the senior members backstage vanished instantly upon Xiao Chen's appearance.

Everyone surrounded him, and the atmosphere was as lively as during the Chinese New Year.

Nobody cares about the game that's about to start.

Does winning or losing even matter when you're sharing the stage with an Oscar-winning actor?

If you can exchange a few words with him, you can brag about it to your grandson for the rest of your life!
