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

Adam was momentarily speechless and was about to retort.

Xiao Chen interrupted him directly and looked at Mao Buyi.

"Come on over. Since others don't understand you, my team spot will always be reserved for you."

Mao bowed repeatedly, a gesture of heartfelt gratitude.

The murmurs from the audience subsided considerably, and many began to stare at the young man with curiosity.

After all, Xiao Chen's current net worth and discerning eye are a golden brand.

But it's not over yet.

Before the three mentors could even catch their breath, the next contestant took the stage.

A man wearing a simple T-shirt is carrying an electric guitar.

Her eyes weren't big, and she even looked a little sleepy.

The moment the music started, its highly distinctive urban rhythm captivated the entire audience.

"If I could do it all over again, I would choose Li Bai..."

Xiao Chen forwarded the message instantly again.

This time, Adam and Blake were completely dumbfounded.

"Xiao, are you planning to bring every Asian face into your team today?"

Xiao Chen turned his head to look at him, his tone relaxed.

"Because I'm not just selecting singers, I'm also selecting future music masters."

Xiao Chen was not joking.

The Dragon Kingdom needs this fresh blood.

He knew all too well the potential of these people.

For the next hour, the scene practically became Xiao Chen's personal show.

When Zhang Liangying's incredibly powerful dolphin-like voice resonated throughout the venue, Adam finally couldn't sit still any longer.

He frantically pounded on the button, trying to snatch the person away from Xiao Chen.

"Oh! This girl has to join my team! She's a natural soul singer!"

Adam screamed, trying to seduce Zhang Liangying with his Grammy credentials.

Katie also joined the fray.

"Darling, your high notes are simply a gift from God."

"Come to me, and I'll make you the brightest star in America!"

Faced with the two bigwigs vying for her, the girl on stage seemed somewhat hesitant.

She subconsciously looked at the boy who had been smiling silently.

Zhang Liangying showed almost no hesitation, and smiled sweetly.

"I choose Teacher Xiao Chen."

Adam was so angry he almost threw the microphone away.

"This isn't fair!" "Xiao, they're all your fans!"

Xiao Chen shrugged, grinning like a fox who had just successfully stolen some fish.

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Yawei's appearance sparked another chaotic battle.

With that pure Western singing style, if you didn't see her face, no one would believe that she was an Asian girl.

Katie and Blake even argued about her.

But in the end, Yuan Yawei still resolutely walked towards Xiao Chen.

After this recording, Xiao Chen's team gained 4 new members.

Moreover, they were all ruthless characters who could fight and withstand attacks.

Compared to the embarrassment of getting nothing in the previous battle, Xiao Chen is now returning with a full harvest.

Recording finished, backstage.

Wang Jinhua walked over with her assistant, holding the latest announcement.

She looked at the people Xiao Chen had selected this time with amazement in her eyes.

"Xiao Chen, how did you manage to gather all these promising talents scattered across different places?"

Xiao Chen took the bottled water, took a sip, and then helped Wang Jinhua straighten her collar.

"Aunt Hua, sometimes, reputation is the best invitation."

Just then, Ye Huimei called.

Xiao Chen answered the phone, and his usual deep and composed demeanor vanished instantly.

"Mom, I'm done recording. I'm not tired at all."

"I want to drink your winter melon and pork rib soup. I'll book the fastest flight back right away."

Wang Jinhua, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but chuckle as she watched his face change so quickly.

This kid is a movie star and an all-around producer who drives the world crazy.

At home, he's always the same Xiao Chen who never grows up.

Wang Jinhua reminded her with a smile.

"Xiao Chen, Adam was throwing a tantrum over there just now, saying you've snatched all the good seedlings away."

Xiao Chen hung up the phone, raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Aunt Hua, I will make sure the whole world hears their voices."

"This is just the beginning."

After saying that, he walked towards the door, his back straight and tall.

Xiao Chen knew very well that he had completely disrupted the original trajectory of this world.

The car drove away from the recording site again.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes, his mind already sketching out the next step.

The preparation of Avatar, the expansion of Shiba Culture, and those unreleased masterpieces.

"Let's go back home."

"There are still three big bowls of soup waiting for me."

He spoke softly, his tone full of smug humor.

Wang Jinhua, sitting in the front row, smiled and shook her head.

This kid is really starting to have the aura of a powerful figure who can turn the tide of events.

Domestically, in the suburbs of Beijing.

A massive photography studio complex covering tens of thousands of square meters was entirely booked by Shiba Culture.

This is Pandora from Avatar.

In 2009, China's film industry was still exploring its way forward.

Such a large-scale science fiction production is almost a fantasy.

But Xiao Chen's appearance made this impossible thing a reality.

At this moment, the atmosphere inside shed number one was so heavy it seemed like water could drip from it.

The array of lights on the ceiling illuminated the vast green screen space as bright as day.

Dozens of high-speed cameras were pointed at the center of the venue from various angles.

A group of blond, blue-eyed Hollywood special effects artists were gathered around a monitor, whispering amongst themselves.

They are the core team of Industrial Light & Magic.

Xiao Chen lured her all over from Hollywood with three times her salary and an irresistible blueprint for the future.

But the person they were serving was just an eighteen-year-old boy.

Andy Lau, dressed in a specially made motion capture suit, stood on the periphery of the crowd with a deep gaze.

As an absolute superstar who was personally invited by Xiao Chen to play "Colonel Quachi".

He had seen countless geniuses, but someone like Xiao Chen was absolutely unique.

This young man possesses a calmness and control beyond his years.

It was as if the entire production team, with its hundreds of millions in investment and thousands of people, was nothing more than a game of chess that he could manipulate at will.

He knew this from when they worked together on "Infernal Affairs".

"Action!"

With a clear command, the script supervisor crisply and decisively struck the clapperboard.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

All eyes were focused on the boy who was also wearing a gray motion capture suit.

He is the protagonist of today's first scene, and also the Jack Sulli from his past life.

This scene marks the first time Jack connects to his "Avatar" avatar and awakens in the laboratory.

There were no physical sets, no fellow actors, and not even any specific reference points, making it completely different from when I played the Elf Prince.

Everything depends on a sense of conviction.

It's a huge challenge for any actor.

Xiao Chen lay quietly in the designated medical pod position and slowly closed his eyes.

The visual effects supervisor in front of the monitor, a burly white man named Carl, pursed his lips and whispered to his assistant beside him.

"See? The first challenge for a newbie."

Without any reference points, he couldn't even find his own place.

The deputy shrugged and didn't say anything, but the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
