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

Two hundred million.

In Hong Kong during this era, this is a number that deserves to be recorded in history.

Xiao Chen's lips finally curved into a smile.

This is his first answer sheet as a director.

But an even fiercer storm was yet to come.

A week later, "Infernal Affairs" broke through the box office barrier, surpassing 100 million yuan and setting off a movie-watching frenzy throughout Asia.

In the cosmos, in Japan, and in Southeast Asia, film distributors are waving checks and frantically snapping up copyrights.

Meanwhile, the annual Golden Horse Awards announced its nominations.

Best Picture: Infernal Affairs

Best Actor: Leung Chiu-wai, Infernal Affairs.

Best Actor: Andy Lau, Infernal Affairs.

The series of nominations has left the media and audiences numb.

Infernal Affairs swept the nominations for all major awards.

When everyone saw the list of nominees for Best Director, the entire Chinese-language entertainment industry fell completely silent.

Best Director Nominations:

Du Qifeng's "Gunfire"

The Wong family produced "In the Mood for Love".

Li An's *Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon*

Xiao Chen in "Infernal Affairs"

On the list, the name of that twelve-year-old boy was prominently listed alongside three legendary directors.

The whole world seemed to stand still.

After a brief period of deathly silence, there was a volcanic eruption of activity.

The same name has once again flooded online forums, newspaper headlines, television programs, and all other media channels!

A Best Director nomination at age 12? Has the Golden Horse Awards gone mad?

"Hey upstairs, haven't you seen 'Infernal Affairs'? The narrative pacing is so good, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the work of a master!"

"Xiao Chen truly deserves it!"

"I'm putting this down: I won't watch this year's Golden Horse Awards for Best Director unless it's Xiao Chen!"

A twelve-year-old boy, with names like Du Qifeng and Wang Jiawei placed together.

Far from appearing abrupt, it has instead gained a legendary quality.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

We eagerly await the moment when this young man who created a miracle returns from London and steps onto the Golden Horse Awards red carpet.

However, a few months later, after filming for "Harry Potter" wrapped up, Xiao Chen...

He arrived at the photography studio in Beijing without stopping.

The cast and crew of "Home with Kids".

Today is the day that the controversial figure "Liu Xing" joined the crew.

The people in the film crew had mixed feelings.

Director Lin Cong rubbed his hands together, glancing at the door every now and then.

The producer was so nervous he could hardly sit still.

That's Xiao Chen!

The genius director of "Infernal Affairs" who broke 200 million at the box office!

The youngest nominee for Best Director in the history of the Golden Horse Awards!

An international child star who filmed Harry Potter in Hollywood!

Now, he's going to act in their low-budget sitcom?

It feels surreal no matter how you look at it.

The assistant director leaned close to Song Dandan and asked in a low voice.

"Sister Dandan, do you think that child is easy to get along with?"

Song Dandan was holding a script when she heard this, she raised her eyelids slightly, and her tone was very relaxed.

"Who cares? A dragon has to coil up, and a tiger has to lie low."

"When it comes to me, if someone plays my son, they have to listen to me, the mother."

Even so, she wasn't entirely sure herself.

Child stars these days are being praised too highly, and many of them have a lot of bad habits.

Not to mention someone like Xiao Chen, who is already standing on a cloud.

Someone shouted.

"They're here! They're here!"

The entire crew's eyes immediately turned to the doorway.

A boy walked in against the light.

The twelve-year-old boy had already grown tall and thin, and was dressed only in a simple white T-shirt and jeans.

Sunlight fell on his soft black hair, gilding it with a light gold.

The noisy sounds in the entire studio disappeared.

Everyone was stunned.

This is...

Xiao Chen?

She looks great in photos and movies, but she's even more beautiful in person than on screen!

That was a kind of impact that transcended gender and age, the purest kind of impact!

"Cough cough."

Director Lin Congxian was the first to react, quickly walking up to him with a warm smile on his face.

"Xiao Chen, right? Welcome, welcome!"

"I am director Lin Cong."

Xiao Chen smiled slightly, his voice clear.

"Hello, Director Lin."

"Hello, teachers."

His attitude was humble and gentle, without a trace of the arrogance one would expect from a legendary genius.

A little girl with a ponytail and a round face squeezed out from the crowd.

Her big eyes blinked, curiously observing Xiao Chen.

She is Yang Zi, who plays Xia Xue.

Yang Zi circled around Xiao Chen once, then nodded solemnly.

"You're the one who plays my younger brother?"

"It looks a bit older than me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, You Haoran, the chubby actor who played Xia Yu next to her, also joined in the commotion.

You have to call her "sister".

Children's words are innocent, but they also made the atmosphere a little awkward.

Just as Song Dandan was about to speak up to defuse the situation, she saw Xiao Chen looking directly at Yang Zi, his eyes smiling like crescent moons.

"That just means I'm a good actress, sister."

His address of "sister" was sweet and soft.

Yang Zi blushed, feeling a little embarrassed, but still stubbornly insisted.

"Who...who is your sister!"

Xiao Chen then turned to You Haoran and magically pulled a White Rabbit candy from his pocket.

"Xiaoyu, here's some candy for you."

You Haoran's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the candy, speaking indistinctly.

"Thank you, brother!"

A burst of laughter immediately erupted from the audience.

This kid is interesting.

Song Dandan looked at the well-mannered young man in front of her with admiration in her eyes.

She's originally from the North, and has a very outgoing personality.

My favorite type of person is someone with a generous personality.

She stepped forward, put her arm around Xiao Chen's shoulder, and smiled broadly.

"Oh my, I love this child so much!"

"Come on, Liu Xing, call me 'Mom'!"

Xiao Chen called out obediently.

"mom."

Song Dandan's response was incredibly loud and clear.

"Eh!"

Xiao Chen easily resolved the minor incident.

Everyone could see that this young man not only possessed an astonishing appearance and talent, but also had emotional intelligence far exceeding that of his peers.

Soon, filming began.

The very first scene filmed was a scene between Song Dandan and Xiao Chen.

Song Dandan, who plays Liu Mei, holds the test paper and looks at her with a disappointed expression.

"Liu Xing! You failed the exam again!"

"Tell me, what are you thinking about all day long?"

Xiao Chen, who plays Liu Xing, hangs his head dejectedly, his eyes darting around.

According to the script, Liu Mei would continue to scold him, and then he would talk back.

But just then, Xiao Chen suddenly raised his head and said to Song Dandan with a serious expression.

"Mom, I've thought it through."

Song Dandan was taken aback, and subconsciously replied.

"What have you figured out?"

Xiao Chen touched his hair and announced loudly in a carefree yet slightly smug tone.

"I want to dye this thing green!"

puff--!

Gao Yalin, who was sitting opposite him, spat out a mouthful of water.

Song Dandan could no longer hold back.

"Hahahaha!"
