Showbiz: A Ratings Smash from the Start

Using stand-ins, cutting and pasting, reading from scripts...

In the public eye, traffic stars are unprofessional young pretty boys.

It isn't until Xu Xiao bursts onto the scene with one high-rated production after another and box-office smash after box-office smash that people's opinions of him finally change.

Wu Jing: "I thought I worked hard enough, but Xu Xiao works even harder than I do."

Zhang Yi: "Xu Xiao's acting is good enough to crush any pretty-boy star. He's every bit as good as the veteran actors, too."

Pan Yueming: "I'd really like to make a film with Xu Xiao. His acting impresses me."

Pang Di: "Being around him gives me a sense of security I've never felt before. It's comfortable and reassuring."
