Global Best Actor: Starting with Picking Up Attributes in America

Chapter 415 The Biggest Scroll King in the MCU

The first take will focus on Star-Lord's scenes.

"Action!"

Upon hearing the director's voice, Chen Xun immediately got into character.

Facing a stunt double in front of a green screen, he perfectly portrayed Star-Lord's sharp tongue and his obsession with Gamora.

"I'm asking you, where is she?"

Emotions progress from suppression to outburst, building up layer by layer.

Even if the person opposite him is just a stunt double wearing green, he can still deliver accurate emotional responses.

Another one-shot success!

Applause erupted in the studio, and Chris led the whistling, shouting, "Captain Quill is awesome!"

Next up is Spider-Man's scene.

After changing his battle suit and adjusting his position, Chen Xun was back in front of the camera in just half an hour.

This time, he will be repositioning himself as Star-Lord to complete all of Spider-Man's scenes.

From initially holding Star-Lord back to later desperately trying to stop him from fighting Thanos, his portrayal of the young man's sense of justice and his panic in the face of an out-of-control situation was incredibly convincing.

What's most amazing is that even the pauses and transitions in his tone when talking to Star-Lord are perfectly synchronized with his own portrayal of Star-Lord, as if there really is another person standing opposite him.

Another one passed.

The entire studio erupted in cheers.

The applause and cheers were so loud they shook the roof of the stadium.

The Russell brothers excitedly high-fived each other and shouted into the walkie-talkie, "Perfect! This is exactly the effect we wanted!"

Robert Downey Jr. stepped forward, patted Chen Xun on the shoulder, and exclaimed in admiration, "Bro, you've truly redefined my understanding of actors! To play two roles so flawlessly!"

"Donnie is too kind."

Chen Xun smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Just as he was about to say something, Chris leaned over and said with a mischievous grin, "Don't be modest yet, I have a question I have to ask you."

Chen Xun raised an eyebrow: "What's the problem?"

"Wait until we film the big scene where they fight Thanos..."

Chris lowered his voice, deliberately suppressing a laugh: "When you were playing Star-Lord, did you hold back and not deliver that crucial punch? After all, if you hadn't, Thanos wouldn't have been able to put on the gauntlet, and your Spider-Man wouldn't have turned to dust. You can't just dig your own grave, can you?"

The surrounding actors burst into laughter and joined in the commotion.

Star-Lord's punch directly triggered "Avengers: Endgame," and he has been criticized by netizens for years, who say he is the biggest undercover agent in the MCU.

Both characters are now played by Chen Xun, and netizens have already started making jokes: "Now look what happened! Star-Lord's punch landed on his own Spider-Man character. Let's see if he can still bring himself to do it!"

Chen Xun couldn't help but laugh, shrugged at the camera, and deliberately said in a cocky tone like Star-Lord, "Don't worry, I will definitely not take the blame in this life. Thanos's gauntlet must be taken from him."

The audience erupted in laughter again, with even the Russo brothers joining in the teasing: "Chen, the script can be changed. If you don't want Star-Lord to throw that punch, we can totally discuss it!"

During a break in filming, Chen Xun sat in the rest area, drank water, and scrolled through his phone. His Twitter and Weibo feeds were full of behind-the-scenes footage that Marvel had just released.

"The joy of playing two roles: Chen Xun has taken on two of the most talkative characters in the MCU!"

The comment section has been flooded with netizens' jokes and吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or humorous comments): "Chen Xun's character switching in the behind-the-scenes footage is so smooth! One second he's a naive high school student, the next he's a space thug. His acting is absolutely amazing!"

"Netizens' scathing comment: Chen Xun's daily life in the MCU: Playing Spider-Man at work, playing Star-Lord after get off work, doing the work of two people, getting paid for two, crushing his Hollywood counterparts!"

"I used to think Star-Lord's punch was unforgivable, but now that both characters are played by Chen Xun, it's practically like he's just getting angry at himself and digging his own grave, so suddenly I'm not angry anymore, hahaha————"

Chen Xun: I'm not pretending anymore. I'm the biggest tycoon in the MCU. Playing two main characters is just basic stuff!

Pinewood Studios in Atlanta.

The lights were still on at one o'clock in the morning.

The final take of the Titan battle scene in front of the green screen has just been filmed.

Chen Xun took off Star-Lord's leather jacket and collapsed onto the sofa in the rest area, too exhausted to even lift his hand to wipe away the sweat.

I've been working non-stop lately.

He plays Spider-Man during the day and changes into Star-Lord's costume to film night scenes.

Even with his physical strength boosted by the system, he was finding it hard to keep up.

Here, an iced cola.

Christine, who came to visit the set, handed him a can of iced Coke, sat down next to him, and reached out to massage his sore shoulders. "Robert just sent you several messages, but you didn't reply. He even called me."

Chen Xun has been working too hard these past few days; we need to find a way to help him relax!

Christine's thoughts echoed in his mind.

Chen Xun took the cola and gulped down a large mouthful. The icy liquid slid down his throat, instantly making him much more awake.

He picked up his phone and, sure enough, saw more than a dozen unread messages from Rob, as well as three missed calls.

Just as I was about to call back, Rob called again: "Bro! It's done!"

"Post-production of the global dubbing for 'The Wandering Earth' is complete; both translated and original versions for all countries and regions are finished!"

"They added five minutes of behind-the-scenes dubbing footage at the end, including Chris forgetting his lines and laughing, Vin Diesel forcing in a 'family' joke, and Ellie crying while recording her radio scene—it was all included, making it even more hilarious than the main feature!"

"All overseas distribution contracts have been signed, with simultaneous global release in 87 countries and regions. All screenings have met the target percentage. It opened in 4500 theaters in North America, 300 more than 'Joker,' with 65% of screenings in prime time—a record high for a non-Hollywood film!"

"Well done, Rob!"

A series of good news came crashing down on him, and Chen Xun sat up straight instantly, all his fatigue gone: "You've worked hard these past few months. Once the film is released, I'll give you a month's vacation."

"No rush to take a holiday!"

Rob laughed and said, "The final trailer is finished. The global release time is set for 10 AM tomorrow, and 8 PM in China. I've sent you all the materials; just share them. I guarantee this trailer will absolutely blow up the entire internet!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xun watched the trailer that Robert had sent him.

The film opens with a stunning shot of the sun rapidly aging, followed by iconic scenes of a frozen Beijing CBD, the collapse of the Shanghai Tower, the towering flames of planetary engines igniting, and Liu Peiqiang's line from the space station: "Without human civilization, there is no meaning."

The final image freezes on the slogan "Taking the Earth on a Wandering Journey".

There wasn't a single unnecessary word spoken throughout the entire process.

It's packed with hard science fiction vibes!

It gave me goosebumps.

"This is absolutely stunning!"

Christine watched the film from the side, her eyes filled with amazement: "This is absolutely the best Chinese sci-fi film I've ever seen, it has a higher production quality than many Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters."

Chris Hemsworth, who was standing next to him, also came over. After watching the trailer, his eyes widened: "My God! This was made in China? The special effects are amazing! I only saw the rough cut when I was doing the dubbing, I didn't expect the finished film to be so stunning! I can't believe it, I have to buy out ten screenings when it's released and take the whole family to see it!"

Robert Downey Jr. also came over, pushed up his sunglasses, nodded and said, "It's truly amazing. Only the Chinese could come up with this kind of romance that involves wandering the earth. You're going to break box office records again."
