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

Wang Jinhua cleared her throat, surprised to find that Andy Lau actually knew her.

"It's him!"

"That's him!"

Andy Lau almost burst out laughing.

He thought Wang Jinhua was joking.

"Jin Hua, you're not kidding, are you?"

Wang Jinhua raised her hand to her forehead; she knew this was difficult to explain.

"Hua-zai, I'm not joking, I'm serious."

"I'm seriously considering having you act in this movie."

Andy Lau's smile gradually faded.

it is true?

A twelve-year-old child?

Directing movies?

He frowned; this was utter nonsense.

"Jin Hua, I..."

He was about to refuse.

A clear, melodious voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"Dehua, what's troubling you so much?"

Andy Lau turned around and saw Anita Mui walking gracefully towards him.

She held a glass of champagne, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Andy Lau gave a wry smile.

"Amei".

"Jin Hua from Shiba Culture said that a film company approached me, but the director... is a twelve-year-old child."

Mei Yanfang was taken aback for a moment, then she smiled.

His smile was meaningful.

"Is it Xiao Chen?"

Andy Lau's eyes widened suddenly.

"Amei, do you know him?"

Mei Yanfang took a sip of wine.

"More than just acquaintances."

"That child is my savior, and also a genius."

She walked up to Andy Lau.

"Dehua, don't be so quick to refuse."

"Xiao Chen has a very special kind of spirit; he's not like the average child you might imagine."

Before Mei Yanfang could finish speaking, another voice, with a familiar magnetic quality, came from not far away.

"That's right."

Leslie Cheung also came over.

He wore a well-tailored suit, had a handsome face, and wore a warm smile.

Andy Lau was pleasantly surprised.

"Brother Rong!"

Leslie Cheung looked at Andy Lau and smiled.

"Xiao Chen is a close friend of mine, despite our age difference."

"The things he's involved in are bound to be good, and I believe he has the ability to direct movies."

Anita Mui reminded everyone.

"You've seen his performance, haven't you?"

Andy Lau nodded.

"I've seen 'The New Legend of Shaolin', 'Shaolin Popeye', and 'Farewell My Concubine'."

"I felt he was very talented back then."

Anita Mui responded.

"He is exceptionally gifted, and very composed, unlike a child."

Leslie Cheung also added.

"Hua-zai, haven't you always wanted to change your career path?"

"Perhaps this is an opportunity."

He patted Andy Lau on the shoulder, his tone sincere.

"That child has a limitless future."

"You won't lose out by cooperating with him."

Andy Lau glanced at Anita Mui, then at Leslie Cheung.

He knew these two friends too well.

People who are valued so highly by them must be quite good.

Perhaps this isn't just nonsense.

This is truly an opportunity.

Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung's eyes were full of encouragement.

Andy Lau's Adam's apple bobbed.

"I……"

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke to Wang Jinhua on the other end of the phone.

"good!"

"Jin Hua, I'll take the role!"

On the other end of the phone, Wang Jinhua was stunned at first, and then, a surge of joy welled up from the bottom of her heart.

"Really?! That's great, Hua-zai!"

"You're my savior!"

Andy Lau hung up the phone, a complex and expectant smile on his face.

He didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.

But there was one thing he was certain of.

He will probably never forget the name Xiao Chen in his entire life.

Wang Jinhua was so excited that she almost jumped up after hanging up the phone with Andy Lau.

She took a deep breath to suppress her elation and immediately dialed another number.

In another corner of the party, Leung Chiu-wai was enjoying a rare moment of peace and quiet while sipping a glass of whiskey.

He doesn't really like noisy places like this; he wouldn't come if it weren't for Amei's event.

The phone rang abruptly.

He saw the caller ID: Wang Jinhua.

Liang Chaowei answered politely.

Wang Jinhua sounded excited on the other end of the phone and explained her purpose in just a few words.

A script called "Infernal Affairs", a character named Chen Yongren, and a director... Xiao Chen.

Liang Chaowei paused, his hand holding the phone still.

It seems they know what happened on Andy Lau's side earlier.

People in the industry know that he is introverted and not good at saying no.

But this kind of thing is really...

He was just about to find a tactful excuse when he suddenly felt several burning gazes upon him.

Liang Chaowei looked up.

Not far away, you could see Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, and Andy Lau, who had just hung up the phone.

Three people, six pairs of eyes.

They all locked onto him.

There was no coercion in his eyes, but rather an undeniable certainty and expectation.

It's as if they're saying: We've all jumped, you decide what to do.

Leung Chiu-wai: ...

He rarely saw these friends all showing such expressions at the same time.

Especially Ah Mei and Yung Ge.

Their eye for talent is renowned in the industry.

Andy Lau raised his glass directly to him, his face bearing a complex smile that seemed to say, "Brother, I'll go first, you catch up."

Liang Chaowei remained silent.

He is a sentimental person who trusts his friends' judgment and also believes in that intuition.

These three people were all supporting a small child.

This matter itself is not simple.

Wang Jinhua, who was on the other end of the phone, didn't hear a reply. Her heart skipped a beat, and she was about to try harder to persuade him.

A deep and clear voice came through the receiver.

"Okay, I'll act it out."

Without hesitation, without asking any unnecessary questions.

Wang Jinhua was stunned for two seconds, almost doubting whether she had misheard.

That's it... all done?

And she managed to win over two top stars at the same time?!

Wang Jinhua was so excited she almost cheered!

With Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-wai in place, it's a great opportunity.

The casting process for "Infernal Affairs" instantly switched from difficult mode to easy mode.

Those actors who had previously declined the offer due to scheduling conflicts immediately changed their attitudes completely upon hearing that these two had joined.

They all said their schedules could be adjusted and everything was negotiable.

Even some veteran actors who were initially hesitant have become interested.

Ultimately, whether or not they appear in the film depends on its value; if Andy Lau and Tony Leung are both willing to act in it, that would be a good outcome.

That means the box office will definitely not be low.

The production team's preparations are progressing at an unprecedented pace.

……

A few months later, Lun Dun.

The last shot of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has been filmed.

Director Ke shouted.

"Cut!"

The entire crew erupted in thunderous applause.

Xiao Chen took off his round-framed glasses. His twelve-year-old face didn't show much fatigue, only a calmness that came from completing his work.

He politely hugged and said goodbye to everyone in the crew.

He remembered the names of everyone, whether they were the lead actors or stagehands.

Rupert and Emma, ​​along with several other young actors, clung to him, crying their eyes out, reluctant to let him go.

"Chen, are you really not coming to the wrap party with us?"

We'll miss you.

Xiao Chen smiled and spoke in fluent English.

"No, I have to go home. I have work waiting for me there."

Although the children were reluctant to part, they knew that they would see Xiao Chen again soon.

Because the Harry Potter contract was signed for seven books at once.

They'll be making six more movies together.
