Two hashtags topped the trending search list, and netizens' comments flooded the internet: "I can't believe I'm still alive to see a Chinese company acquire a major Hollywood studio! Who would have thought back then!"

"Chen Xun is awesome! From extra to one of Hollywood's seven big bosses, even novels wouldn't dare write a script like this!"

"Before, the six major Hollywood studios bullied us; now, we, the Chinese dragon, stand on equal footing with them!"

"What Wanda couldn't do, Chen Xun did; that's true cultural export!"

While the entire internet was still celebrating the acquisition, Chen Xun did something he had always wanted to do since he transmigrated.

As soon as the signing ceremony ended, he went into his office and started making phone calls one by one.

Starring: Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Jet Li, Andy Lau, Chen Xun, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Stewart, Dakota Fanning, Jennifer Lawrence —

Stay tuned!

The Weibo post received no comments.

Everyone was stunned.

The first comment quickly appeared: "Am I blind? Look at this cast list, is it even real?"

Soon, the number of comments exploded: "Holy crap! Is this a dream?!"

"Jackie Chan + Stephen Chow + Jet Li + Andy Lau! My God! The Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong cinema's golden age are together! I could die happy!"

"And there's Vin Diesel! Paul Walker! Thor! Jennifer Lawrence! Half of Hollywood is here, right?"

"Fake! Absolutely fake! Even Photoshop wouldn't dare to be this bad! China Dragon Pictures is already this big just after its founding?"

"Even if this cast were just sitting around chatting, I'd buy a ticket to see it!"

"Can anyone tell me how Chen Xun managed to get Stephen Chow to act in a film? Wasn't he supposed to be retired?"

"And Jet Li! He's not in good health, but he's still willing to come! Chen Xun has way too much influence!"

In just one hour, the Weibo post was forwarded over 10 million times and received over 20 million likes.

The three terms simultaneously topped the trending search list.

Not only were domestic fans overjoyed, but the news also shocked people abroad.

On Twitter, the hashtag #ChinaDragonFilms# immediately rose to the top of the global trending topics.

Foreign netizens are going crazy: "My God! Jackie Chan and Jet Li are teaming up again! And Stephen Chow is in it too! I have to go see it!"

"Vin Diesel + Thor + Jennifer Lawrence! What a dream collaboration!"

"Chen Xun is amazing! He managed to bring so many superstars together! I definitely have to see this movie!"

One netizen even created a meme: on the left is Disney's Marvel's Avengers, and on the right is the all-star lineup of "Dragon's Journey": "We used to watch the Avengers, now the whole world watches the Chinese Dragon Alliance!"

The next day, the entrance to China Dragon Film Studio was packed with reporters.

When asked by reporters, Chen Xun smiled and said, "This movie has no main characters and no supporting characters. Everyone is a protagonist. We want to make a movie that truly belongs to Chinese people all over the world, a Chinese story that can be understood by people all over the world."

-

I want to tell the world that Chinese films can not only produce hard science fiction like "The Wandering Earth," but also heartwarming and joyful family movies.

In the future, China Dragon Pictures will invite more global actors to make more and better movies together.

We're not here to fight Hollywood; we're here to work with them to bring more great works to audiences around the world.

Chen Xun's speech once again won praise from the entire internet.

Netizens commented, "This shows a broader perspective! This is the demeanor of a great power!"

"Chen Xun is not only a good actor and a good boss, but also a true cultural ambassador."

"I used to think that a celebrity's vision was about how much money they made, but now I realize that true vision is about leading the entire industry forward and bringing Chinese culture to the world."

The conference room at China Dragon Pictures' Los Angeles headquarters was filled with smoke.

The whiteboard was covered with names and ideas, dozens of crumpled drafts lay on the floor, and a dozen top screenwriters sat around, all looking haggard with dark circles under their eyes like pandas.

Chen Xun slumped in the sofa, his hair disheveled, completely devoid of the high spirits he had displayed when he acquired Fox.

-

"No, this story is too Chinese; foreign audiences won't understand it."

He threw the script on the table and rubbed his temples: "The last version was too Hollywood, it had no Chinese flavor at all, it was no different from an ordinary action movie."

The chief screenwriter sighed, "President Chen, this really isn't our fault."

"Just think about it: Jackie Chan's kung fu, Stephen Chow's slapstick comedy, Jet Li's Zen-like style, Andy Lau's warmth, plus the personal style of a Hollywood star. To blend so many styles into one movie and make it appealing to audiences worldwide—that's even harder than making 'The Wandering Earth 2'!"

Lee So-yeon walked in with a cup of coffee, looked at the room full of people with worried faces, and couldn't help but laugh: "Now it's all over the internet, saying that the more amazing our cast is, the harder it is to produce a script."

Rob leaned closer, looking distressed: "If I had known, I wouldn't have invited so many people at once. Now everyone has their schedules set, just waiting for our script. If the script is a mess, our China Dragon Film will go bankrupt right after it was founded."

Chen Xun rolled his eyes at him: "Who was it that was so excited about inviting so many celebrities back then?"

Rob scratched his head and chuckled, "How was I supposed to know writing a script was so difficult? How about we just film everyone sitting together having New Year's Eve dinner? Anyway, with so many celebrities, even if it's just eating and chatting, the audience will still want to watch."

"roll!"

Chen Xun picked up a crumpled piece of paper and threw it at his head:

Do you want to be torn apart by netizens?
