Global Best Actor: Starting with Picking Up Attributes in America

Chapter 414 Both Peters are him!

As soon as Chris finished speaking, the rest area burst into laughter.

Few people in Hollywood, or even in the entire history of film, have dared to do this.

They played two main characters in the same top-tier Marvel production.

One is Peter Parker, Spider-Man, the darling of the Avengers and a favorite of the MCU.

One is Star-Lord Peter Quill, the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy and a master of witty banter.

Looking at the entire MCU, Chen Xun is the only actor who can simultaneously land two core roles.

Now these two characters are going to appear in the same movie.

This will also be a test of Chen Xun's acting skills.

Chen Xun thought of Jackie Chan's movie "Twin Dragons".

When Marvel officially announced this news, the entire internet went wild.

Twitter and Weibo's servers were both overwhelmed and crashed twice.

Countless netizens started making jokes: "I can't laugh anymore. Chen Xun has taken over all the talkative roles in the MCU. Spider-Man + Star-Lord, two kings of witty banter, he has to say 80% of the lines in one movie!"

"Why not just have Chen Xun act in the entire Avengers 3 all by himself? He's the one who plays both Peters anyway!"

"I'm already looking forward to the iconic Titan scene, Spider-Man versus Star-Lord, which is basically Chen Xun arguing with himself. How do you want to see him act that?"

There's a reason why netizens are making memes.

These two characters have as many lines as the other two or three main characters combined.

Not to mention their personalities are completely different!

One is a shy, talkative high school student from Queens, and the other is a rebellious space thug.

To seamlessly switch between scenes within the same movie while keeping the audience completely engaged is an incredibly difficult task.

"Stop teasing me, Chris."

Chen Xun smiled and pushed his arm away, sat down on the sofa, picked up the script and flipped through it: "Don't laugh during the scene on the spaceship later."

"Laugh out loud? Impossible."

Chris patted his chest and assured him, but the next second he couldn't help but laugh: "I'm just afraid that when I'm facing you later, all I can think about is you awkwardly dancing in that Star-Lord suit, and if Thor bursts out laughing, don't blame me."

Upon hearing this, Robert Downey Jr., standing next to him, added fuel to the fire, adjusting his sunglasses and raising an eyebrow, saying, "Seriously, you're playing two Peters, have you considered our feelings?"

"We already couldn't out-argue you with the lines, and now you've taken up two of the talking-out spots. Aren't the rest of us just going to be relegated to the sidelines?"

"Don't you dare insult me, Donnie," Chen Xun said, both amused and exasperated. "You think you don't have enough lines? You're the only one in the entire MCU who can match the speed of these two characters in terms of dialogue."

As they were chatting, the assistant director ran over and said to Chen Xun with a smile, "Mr. Chen Xun, get ready. In ten minutes, we'll be filming the scene between Spider-Man and Thor on the spaceship. After that, you'll need to change into Star-Lord's costume. We'll be filming the Titan scenes this afternoon."

"Coming right away."

Chen Xun nodded, put on the Spider-Man glasses and headgear, and got up to walk towards the filming area.

Chris yelled from behind him, "Go for it, Peter Parker! Don't let Star-Lord's thuggishness show, or Thor won't recognize you as his little brother!"

Chen Xun turned around and gave the middle finger, which caused another burst of laughter from the audience.

This scene depicts Thor and Spider-Man's first encounter on the Guardians of the Galaxy's spaceship, a classic scene between the two characters.

The moment the Russo brothers yelled "action," Chen Xun's entire demeanor changed.

His body tensed slightly, his eyes filled with the curiosity of a young boy.

Even through Spider-Man's glasses, he could portray Peter Parker's nervousness when facing Thor.

Chen Xun raised his voice slightly when he spoke, giving it the clear, bright quality typical of a high school student.

It perfectly matches the character of Spider-Man.

Chris on the other side also instantly got into character.

The two actors' back-and-forth scenes were perfectly paced and full of chemistry.

One take!

The Russo brothers couldn't help but exclaim into the walkie-talkie, "Chen Xun is absolutely amazing, he's just like Peter Parker himself."

As soon as the stylist yelled "Cut!", Chen Xun was pulled away by the stylist before he could even catch his breath, heading straight for the dressing room.

Over the next two hours, he will complete his transformation from Spider-Man to Star-Lord.

He changed his tight-fitting suit into a burgundy leather jacket, ripped jeans, and Doc Martens. He also added some stubble to his face, styled his hair, and put on Star-Lord's signature Walkman headphones.

When he came out again, his entire demeanor had completely changed.

Just moments ago, he was a fresh-faced, sunny high school student from Queens, but now he walks with a nonchalant, roguish air, a cynical smile on his lips, and a nonchalant, carefree look in his eyes.

Chen Xun even changed his walking posture, swaying unsteadily, looking exactly like Star-Lord, the space rogue who escaped from Earth.

The actors in the studio were stunned. Mark Ruffalo stared wide-eyed and whispered to Scarlett Johansson beside him, "My God, this is unbelievable. Two hours ago he was Spider-Man, and now he's a completely different person. Even his eyes are different."

Scarlett couldn't help but nod: "No wonder the Russo brothers dared to let him play two roles; his acting skills are truly terrifying."

Chen Xun, who had just changed his look, was stopped by Chris before he even reached the shooting area.

The guy crossed his arms, circled him twice, and whistled, "Not bad, bro, you've got the style."

But I'm warning you, when we're filming the Titan scene later, don't suddenly blurt out Spider-Man lines, or everything will be ruined.

"Don't worry, it's professional!"

Chen Xun raised his hand, put on the headphones, and pressed the play button.

The melody of "Come and Get Your Love" immediately started playing.

He swayed to the rhythm, instantly maximizing Star-Lord's cocky and handsome charm.

The whole audience burst into laughter instantly.

Downey clapped his hands and shouted, "Captain Quill, don't forget to do a little dance before you fight Thanos!"

This afternoon, we're filming the most classic Titan battle scene from Avengers: Infinity War.

This is also the scene where Star-Lord and Spider-Man appear together the most.

This scene was extremely difficult to film!

Because both roles were played by Chen Xun.

He had to first wear Star-Lord's costume and act out all his scenes against thin air and with a stunt double, then change into Spider-Man's suit and act out Spider-Man's scenes again, mimicking Star-Lord's movements. In post-production, special effects were used to composite the two characters together in the same frame.

It's like he has to act out the same scene twice, and he has to be precise in his movements, lines, emotions, and even the angle of eye contact can't be wrong. If there's even a slight deviation, the scene won't fit together in post-production.

Before filming began, the Russo brothers were a little nervous, repeatedly checking the blocking with Chen Xun: "Chen, if the pressure is too much, we can film over two days, there's no need to rush to finish it in one day."

"It's okay, director, we'll get it in one take."

Chen Xun smiled and waved his hand, knowing exactly what was going on in his mind.

In his past life, he watched Avengers: Infinity War dozens of times, and he knew every detail of the scene by heart.

Not to mention his current acting skills and understanding of the characters, which are far beyond what ordinary viewers in his previous life could compare to.
