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

This level of professionalism earned the unanimous praise of the veteran actors in the crew.

"All departments, prepare!"

"A Little Reunion, Scene 1, Act 1, Action!"

The camera was pointed at the school gate.

Xiao Chen slung his schoolbag over his shoulder, walking with a swaying gait, his eyes revealing a cleverness.

He spotted Dilraba in front of him at a glance.

"Qiao Yingzi!"

He shouted, took three steps in two, and slapped Reba's backpack on the back.

The movement was so natural, as if it had been done a thousand times.

Dilraba stumbled forward a small step due to the force and instinctively turned around to glare at him.

"Fang Yifan, are you sick?!"

That shout was delivered with great force.

Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow, didn't reply, but just chuckled and took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it over.

"Hey, calm down. If your mock exam results come out today, your mom's gonna cook you up!"

He didn't have many lines, but every word was perfectly timed.

The care he showed for his childhood sweetheart beneath his seemingly carefree attitude was perfectly conveyed through a simple gesture of handing her candy.

Behind the monitor, the director clenched his fist in excitement.

Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui exchanged a glance, both seeing the amazement in each other's eyes.

Xiao Chen's acting skills have simplified complex techniques, leaving no trace of performance.

He wasn't playing Fang Yifan.

At this moment, he is the boy who gives his parents headaches, leaves his teachers helpless, yet makes girls' hearts flutter.

The female staff members on the sidelines had already held their breath.

Who could resist Xiao Chen, who wears a school uniform and has a mischievous smile?

"Click!"

"Perfect! Passed!"

"The director shouted."

Dilraba was still immersed in the drama, staring blankly at the lollipop in her hand.

Xiao Chen had already returned to his lazy demeanor, leaned close to her ear, and whispered.

"You did a great job. Aunt Hua will treat you to a big meal tonight."

Dilraba felt a tickle in her ears, and the heat seemed to seep into her heart.

She knew that as long as Xiao Chen was there, this film crew was the safest place.

In this entertainment empire built by Xiao Chen, he is the only, all-powerful king.

Meanwhile, in the Shiba Cultural Building in the city center, Ye Huimei was looking at photos of Xiao Chen when he was a child.

That was filmed on the set of "The New Legend of Shaolin".

Who would have thought that the three-year-old baby girl from back then would become a figure who has shaken the global film industry?

Wang Jinhua pushed open the door and came in, her face beaming with joy.

"Sister Huimei, filming on Achen's side is going very smoothly. His chemistry with Dilraba is absolutely amazing."

Ye Huimei smiled, her eyes gentle.

"This child has been loved by everyone since he was little."

"Now that he's grown up, he's even more capable of stealing girls' hearts."

As the two chatted and laughed, the Avatar project team's report came from outside.

Xiao Chen's two-pronged approach is progressing steadily.

On one hand, there's a family drama full of everyday life; on the other hand, there's a hardcore sci-fi blockbuster.

In this industry, no one can switch between these roles as easily as he does.

Rest area on set.

Xiao Chen was holding a bottle of water and drinking it slowly.

Wu Mengda walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Chenzi, are you really going to make Avatar?"

Xiao Chen put down the water bottle, a rare flash of fervor in his eyes, which disappeared in an instant.

"Uncle Da, our Chinese films need a world-class IP that we can be proud of."

His voice wasn't loud, but it was firm and resolute.

Everyone around heard it.

Those who initially thought he was crazy now felt a strange sense of pride.

This young man is not just acting.

He is using his versatility to keep the entire industry alive.

Dilraba sat to the side, gazing intently at Xiao Chen's profile.

Sunlight shone on his high, straight nose, gilding it with a pale gold border.

She suddenly remembered how Xiao Chen used to hold her hand and play with her in the yard when she was little.

Back then, he was just as steady, yet he always managed to come up with all sorts of fun things to make her happy.

"What's wrong? Staring blankly again?"

Xiao Chen turned around at some point and looked at her teasingly.

Dilraba quickly lowered her head, pretending to read the script.

"No, I was memorizing lines!"

Xiao Chen chuckled softly, got up, and walked towards the director.

"Oh? You blushed while memorizing your lines?"

He walked with a steady gait, each step seeming to tread on the hearts of everyone present.

In this arena called the entertainment industry, he has long been invincible.

Whether as an actor, singer, screenwriter, or director.

He is the one and only irreplaceable Xiao Chen.

Even when he's wearing the simplest school uniform, he's still the most admired and beloved movie star.

The lights come on for the next scene.

Xiao Chen stood where light and shadow intertwined, turned around and waved to Dilraba.

"Yingzi, it's our turn."

At the director's command, the set fell silent instantly.

"Attention all departments! Fang Yifan, Qiao Yingzi, Scene 2, prepare for filming!"

This is the most important scene in "A Little Reunion".

Qiao Yingzi developed a tendency to jump into the sea due to long-term suppression by her mother.

Fang Yifan needs to pull her back at the crucial moment.

He pulled her back from the edge of the cliff in a seemingly carefree but actually extremely gentle way.

"Yingzi, say something!"

Xiao Chen was the first to get into character, his voice carrying the unique crispness of a young man and a deep-seated anxiety.

But Dilraba froze.

Her eyes were red, her lips were trembling, but her tears seemed to be lost in her eyes and wouldn't fall.

The director had no choice but to call a halt.

"Card!"

The veteran actors in the crew, who came from the Hong Kong and Beijing film circles, all turned their heads in surprise.

Someone muttered to themselves.

"Chenzai's script is brilliant, but can this young girl handle his acting?"

"It's difficult. Xiao Chen is an Oscar-winning actor. Acting with him is incredibly stressful."

"And I heard that this is the little girl's first time acting. She did well in the lively school scene, but I guess she'll have a hard time performing in this kind of explosive scene."

Xiao Chen wasn't angry. He walked up to Dilraba and casually pulled a lollipop out of his pocket.

"What are you thinking about? Still not out of character?"

His tone was light and cheerful, with a touch of the carefree attitude of a neighborly older brother.

Dilraba was so anxious she almost cried, her voice choked with emotion.

"Brother Xiao Chen, I... I can't find that feeling of wanting to jump."

"My head is full of lines I've memorized."

Xiao Chen smiled, a smile so bright that the girls responsible for lighting around him almost dropped their reflectors.

He leaned close to Dilraba's ear, avoiding the microphone.

Imagine your mom as the fiercest homeroom teacher in the world.

"Then take apart all your beloved Lego sets, and finally..."

Imagine if you never saw me again in this lifetime.

Xiao Chen's voice was very low, carrying a kind of bewitching magic.

"Without me, who will take you out for a nice meal?"

"Who writes your plays?"

"Who's protecting you in this industry?"
